Of course, the most important thing is that Tubo was captured so easily, and their children or husbands could return safely, and they could also receive a large sum of generous rewards, or a few acres of fertile land.

Similarly, those aristocratic families are also full of joy.

With such a huge territory in Tubo, they must be able to auction off two or three cities.

"I didn't expect Gao Ming to be so fast? Tubo is so useless!"

Li Jiazhuang, Li Xuan was also startled when he heard the news.

Immediately, he lay down peacefully again.

It has nothing to do with him to conquer Tubo. Tubo is poor and has nothing good.

However, the people in Li Family Manor fell into the carnival.

Following the good news from Tubo, the whole Tang Dynasty became lively.

Although it was the New Year's Eve, the road leading to Chang'an City was full of traffic again.

However, before these aristocratic families were overwhelmed with excitement, another piece of news that surprised them spread throughout Chang'an City.

They had been waiting for several months for the peerless delicacies, and they were finally made by King Jin. Tomorrow, the six shops will all open.

Immediately, all the dignitaries of the aristocratic families hurriedly sent their people to check.

Sure enough, those few shops that hadn't been listed for a long time have already hung plaques.

But, what is hot pot?

Could it be that it is a delicacy eaten in a burning cauldron?

After listening to the servant's report, all the dignitaries of the aristocratic family couldn't help feeling itchy.

I didn't sleep well all night.

The next day, everyone got up early, sent a housekeeper, and went to the nearest hot pot shop to line up.

It's just that, when they didn't expect it, the housekeeper didn't bring them any good news, but instead brought back a notification letter about eating hot pot!

"Those who are allergic to chili should not eat it!"

"The weak, don't eat!"

"Eating hot pot is prone to abdominal pain, diarrhea, and entering Gong's room!"

"..."

Seeing this, all the dignitaries of the aristocratic families couldn't help but look at each other in disbelief.

"Is this really the notice at the door of the hot pot shop?"

"Master, it is true!"

All the stewards nodded quickly.

"You can ask, who wrote this notice?"

"Master, those shopkeepers of the hot pot shop said that His Royal Highness King Jin asked them to write it!"

"The king of Jin specially asked the shopkeepers of those hot pot shops to write it? Could it be that this hot pot is really dangerous?"

After listening to the words of these stewards, the dignitaries of these aristocratic families couldn't help but meditate subconsciously.

"Master, are you still going out of the hot pot shop?"

All the stewards couldn't help asking cautiously.

"go with!"

"Since King Jin called it a peerless delicacy, and even repaired six shops, the taste must be the same!"

"For this kind of delicacy, I have been looking forward to it for so many days, and I am about to eat, how can I not go?"

"Prepare the car quickly!"

"Yes, sir!"

Soon, carriages gathered to the six hotpot restaurants in Chang'an City.

However, after they entered the hot pot shop, they heard the shopkeeper of the hot pot shop say to them with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty has ordered that when you are eating hot pot, at least three people should eat together." There is no limit to the number of tables!"

"And this rule?"

All the dignitaries of the aristocratic families couldn't help but look surprised.

However, King Jin's coercion was too severe, and they finally came in, so they could only obediently obey.

Find a few acquaintances at random, and go to a table in twos and threes.

However, all the dignitaries of the aristocratic families have made up their minds that they must each order a hot pot in a while!

It's just that something that made them dissatisfied appeared again!

Diners at any table, no matter how many people there are, can only eat one serving of hot pot!

In an instant, the dignitaries of these aristocratic families became angry again!

"Why can I only put one hot pot on each table?"

"Are you underestimating us? No matter how much a hot pot is? We can still afford it!"

"Even if everyone serves a hot pot, we will never think it expensive!"

……

Chapter 784

Seeing this, all the shopkeepers and waiters in the shop couldn't help being speechless.

He did not immediately explain to the dignitaries of the world, but according to what they learned yesterday, they lifted the stove lids under the dining tables and put them into special iron pots.

And pour in the fragrant hot pot base!

"Gentlemen, please look, there is only one hot pot under each table, so only one hot pot can be placed!"

"It turned out to be like this!"

After finally understanding what hot pot is, all the dignitaries from aristocratic families suddenly realized it!

No wonder, that His Royal Highness King Jin wants to let them eat a hot pot!

It's just that there is such a layer of red pepper floating in this pot?

The three dignitaries of the aristocratic families who had already tasted the taste of these peppers couldn't help but subconsciously pursed their lips, feeling their stomachs twitching!

Thinking about it, the three dignitaries of the aristocratic families on the table looked at the waiter beside him in horror.

"Use so many peppers to make hot pot?"

"Back to all nobles, these peppers are only for seasoning. All you nobles need to eat are the meat and vegetables in the hot pot, which are the dishes on the menu!"

As he said that, the waiter in the shop quickly handed the menu to the three people on the table.

"Gentlemen, please take a look. The dishes on these menus are up to you to choose. You can order whatever you want, but please pay attention to the number after the name of the dish, the number after the name of the dish is the price of each dish!"

Every aristocratic and powerful person is a literate person.

Therefore, the three people on the table glanced at the menu and understood it.

What surprised them was that the vegetables and meat on it were very cheap.

A serving of sweet potatoes is only [-] Wen!

One potato, one hundred coins!

A serving of radish costs ten cents!

A portion of lotus root, twenty Wen!

……

A plate of pig meat costs fifty cents!

A plate of mutton costs sixty cents!

A serving of pork belly?Sixty words...

Ok?

Suddenly, a patriarch of an aristocratic family seemed to recall something, his expression changed, and he stared closely at the waiter.

"What is pig belly?"

"Back to your lord, the hog belly is the stomach inside the hog?"

The waiter hurriedly replied.

"what?"

The dignitaries of the aristocratic families suddenly turned frosty, and stared at the waiter in extreme annoyance, saying: "How dare you wait, how dare you let me wait to eat such a filthy thing?"

"Forgive me, my lords, this thing was added by the king. Moreover, this thing is not dirty, the king has also eaten this thing, and the king said that this thing is a great delicacy on the hog!"

The shop waiter hurriedly replied: "Besides, the king also said that not only pig belly is delicious, but pig brain is also delicious, and even duck blood is also delicious, but the daily supply is limited, and each shop can only sell fifty servings!"

"King Jin also ate?"

All the dignitaries of the aristocratic families automatically ignored the limit, but stared at the waiter closely. They didn't believe the waiter's words, and the dignified King Jin actually ate such a lowly thing as pig belly!

"Gentlemen, not only the king has eaten this thing, but even the nobles who came to Li's Village two days ago have also eaten this thing!"

The waiter in the shop smiled lightly and said neither humble nor overbearing.

"Otherwise, even if you give the villain ten guts, the villain wouldn't dare to talk like that!"

Hearing this, all the dignitaries of the aristocratic families could not help but nodded slowly subconsciously, and at the same time showed curiosity.

"Since that's the case, give me a serving of pig belly, a serving of pig brain, and a serving of duck blood!"

"Yes!"

The shop waiter nodded again, and then said: "Gentlemen, when eating hot pot, you'd better drink some water. I wonder if you want tea, fruit juice, or the new ale brewed by the king?"

"Ale?"

The dignitaries of the aristocratic families were full of curiosity again.

"What kind of wine is ale? How much does it cost?"

"Forget it, just wait for six bottles of ale for me!"

"A bottle of beer is [-] Wen, please wait a moment, gentlemen!"

After hearing that, the waiter in the famous shop quickly took the menu and walked down.

Soon, six bottles of beer were brought up, along with more than a dozen plates of sliced ​​meat and vegetables.

"Gentlemen, these are the meat and vegetables you want!"

"Very good!"

Although there are only 20 thin slices of mutton on a plate, and only more than [-] pieces of sweet potatoes on a plate, even half a sweet potato is not needed. If you calculate it carefully, the price is definitely more than double the selling price of Lijiazhuang.

However, these mutton, pig meat, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and radishes are still very neatly arranged on the plate.

In addition, the dignitaries of such aristocratic families don't know much about the prices of vegetables and meat, so after seeing these plates, they were delighted.

"I didn't expect that such a large plate of mutton would only cost [-] Wen...a large plate of sweet potatoes would only cost [-] Wen!"

"This time, His Royal Highness Prince Jin has really done a great deed for the people of Tang Dynasty!"

"Besides, this fine wine is only fifty cents a bottle!"

With that said, all the dignitaries of the aristocratic family have already opened the glass bottle, poured out a glass of ale, and drank it.

"Ok?"

Although the ale tasted very fragrant, the dignitaries of the aristocratic families still frowned subconsciously.

"Why is this wine so mellow?"

"My lord, this kind of ale is specially made by the king for eating hot pot! Therefore, this kind of ale is not as hot as baijiu!"

The waiter hurriedly replied.

"It turned out to be so!"
