Prince of Tang Dynasty

Cheng Yaojin's mansion is not very far from Changsun's mansion, it only takes two quarters of an hour to walk there.Before Li Yu went to find Cheng Yaojin, he asked the chef of the Changsun Mansion to cook a bunch of meat, such as kebabs, lamb chops, lamb scorpions, fried chicken legs, fried chicken wings, and various barbecues.

Li Yu originally wanted to invite Cheng Yaojin to eat roast duck, but the imperial chef of Shangshi Bureau didn't make it for the time being.Previously, the imperial chef of Shangshi Bureau made roast duck, but it was not finished, so Li Yu had to let them continue to cook.

Carrying a few big food boxes to Cheng Yaojin's house, Li Yu and his party were warmly welcomed by Cheng's family.

Cheng Yaojin hadn't returned from court yet, Li Yu and his party were entertained by Cheng Yong and Cheng Shao.As for Cheng Chusi and Cheng Chuliang, who were in the barracks, they were not at home usually, and only came back when they were resting.

This was Li Yu's first visit to Cheng Yaojin's mansion, and also the first time he saw Cheng Yong and Cheng Shao.

The brothers Cheng Yong and Cheng Shao also saw Li Yu for the first time, but they usually heard about His Royal Highness King Rui's name from their father.

Although it was the first time they met Li Yu, Cheng Yong and the others were no strangers to Li Yu, and they became familiar with him after a while.

After only a short time of contact, Li Yu fell in love with brothers Cheng Yong and Cheng Shao.This pair of brothers is very similar to their father Cheng Yaojin in temperament, bold and unruly, of course they also inherited Cheng Yaojin's thick skin.

Cheng Yong and Changsun Jing are the same age, and they have a very good relationship in private.Cheng Shao is about the same age as Li Zhi, with a tiger head and a tiger head, and a bit of a hobgoblin temper.

The two little brothers of the Cheng family were very curious about Li Yu. After getting acquainted with him, they kept pulling Li Yu to ask questions, mainly asking how Li Yu made so many delicious foods.

Li Yu thought that Cheng Yong and the others were indeed Cheng Yaojin's sons, and they were all interested in meat.

"I like to eat meat, so I like to study various ways to eat it when I have nothing to do." Li Yu said with a smile, "I'm making roast duck recently, and when I succeed, I'll treat you to it."

"Roast duck? What's this for?" Cheng Shao looked at Li Yu with sparkling eyes, and his chubby little face was full of curiosity.

"It's roast duck." Li Yu briefly introduced to Cheng Shao and the others how to make roast duck and how to eat it.

After Cheng Yong and the others listened to Li Yu's introduction, they all swallowed their mouths with greed.

"His Royal Highness, hurry up and get the roast duck out." Cheng Shao just heard Li Yu say this, and his mouth watered, wishing he could eat roast duck right now.

"The imperial chef of Shangshi Bureau is making it, but the roast duck they made before is not crisp." When roasting the duck, the most important thing is the heat. When the imperial chef of Shangshi Bureau roasts the roast duck, it is basically burnt. "When they are baked, I will invite you to eat as soon as possible."

Cheng Yong and Cheng Shao immediately clasped their fists at Li Yu, "His Royal Highness is righteous!"

Changsun Jing suddenly asked, "By the way, Cheng Yong, Xiao Yu'er is going to hold a Cuju competition, are you two coming?"

"Cuju, what Cuju?" Just now I was talking about food, Changsun Jing suddenly said about the Cuju competition, Cheng Yong didn't realize it for a while, "Do you want to eat?"

Hearing Cheng Yong's last words, Li Yu and the others burst into laughter: "Hahahahaha..."

The eldest grandson Jing, who was drinking tea, choked on Cheng Yong's words: "Cough, cough, cough..."

Cheng Yong finally came to his senses at this time, "Changsun Jing, you mean you can play Cuju."

Changsun Jing gave Cheng Yong a supercilious look, and said angrily, "Otherwise, Cuju is still eaten?"

"Hahahahaha..." Li Yu laughed until his stomach ached, Lao Cheng's son was so much fun.

Cheng Yong has a thick skin, and he is not ashamed to be laughed at by Li Yu and the others, "What's so fun about Cuju?"

"Don't underestimate cuju, cuju is very fun, let me tell you..." Li Yu began to introduce the playing method and competition rules of cuju to Cheng Yong and Cheng Shao in detail.

After Cheng Yong and Cheng Shao finished listening, they were immediately interested, "It's very interesting to hear what you said. When will you hold it, Your Highness King Rui?"

"I plan to start it in these two days. There are eight of you brothers and us. If we find a few more people, we can start playing." Li Yu simplified the rules of football games in later generations and reduced the number of people. , each team only needs five or six people.

"It's easy, we can call Qin Ziyu and the others to play together." Qin Ziyu is Qin Qiong's youngest son, who is as old as Cheng Shao. "I'll send someone to call Qin Ziyu here now." Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong have the best relationship, and the two live next door.

Cheng Shao stood up and said, "I'll call." After speaking, he ran away quickly.After a while, he dragged Qin Ziyu over.

Qin Ziyu looks fair and refined, and Cheng Shao has completely different styles of painting.When he saw Li Yu and Li Zhi, he bowed politely, "I have seen His Royal Highness King Jin and King Rui."

"Don't be too polite." As soon as Qin Ziyu opened his mouth, Li Yu knew that he was a mature and stable child.

Cheng Shao raised his hand and patted Qin Ziyu's back, and said with disgust, "Can you stop being so polite?"

Qin Ziyu said: "Courtesy cannot be discarded."

Hearing the words "rituals cannot be discarded", Cheng Shao's eyes were about to roll to the sky.

"Brother Ziyu, please sit down." Li Yu stretched out his hand and made an inviting gesture, "Brother Ziyu, we don't need to be so polite in private."

"His Royal Highness King Xie Rui." Qin Ziyu saluted again, and then sat down dignifiedly.

When Cheng Shao saw Qin Ziyu's appearance, his chubby little face instantly became distorted, "Qin Ziyu, are you finished?"

Qin Ziyu glanced at the crazy Cheng Shao, and said with a blank expression: "Courtesy cannot be broken!"

Cheng Shao couldn't take it anymore, and was so angry that he went straight to pinch Qin Ziyu's neck, but he was not Qin Ziyu's opponent. After a while, Qin Ziyu clasped his hands behind his back, screaming in pain.

Cheng Shao begged for mercy in pain: "Brother Ziyu, I was wrong."

Qin Ziyu glanced at Cheng Shao with disgust, then let go of him.

After Cheng Shao was let go, he quickly sat beside Li Yu to save his life, "His Royal Highness, Qin Ziyu likes to put on airs, don't be disgusted with him."

When Qin Ziyu heard this, he glared at Cheng Shao, "You are too unruly."

"I don't dislike it." Li Yu looked at Qin Ziyu who was sitting upright, "Brother Ziyu, you really don't need to be so polite."

"Ziyu, Xiao Yu'er is not so polite, so don't be so polite."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ziyu just nodded slightly and didn't say much.

"His Royal Highness, Ziyu is such a person, don't take offense."

"It's not surprising, let's continue talking about the Cuju competition." Li Yu told Qin Ziyu again the gameplay and rules of the Cuju competition that he had told Cheng Yong and the others before, "Brother Ziyu, are you interested in joining us?"

"His Royal Highness, it is a great honor."

Cheng Shao curled his lips unbearably: "Qin Ziyu is endless..."

"Including Ziyu, there are only nine of us, and we are still short of one person." Changsun Jing said, "We still have to recruit one person."

"Let's bring Yuchi Xiuqi here," Cheng Yong said, "and Li Boda and Chai Siyuan."

"Okay, then call them."

"I'll send someone to call them here now." Cheng Yong called the housekeeper over, and asked the housekeeper to find Li Boda and the others.

Li Boda is the youngest son of Li Jing, and Yuchi Xiuqi is the youngest son of Yuchi Gong.

Before Li Boda and the others arrived, Cheng Yaojin went back to the palace first.He was very happy to learn that Li Yu was here.

As soon as he saw Li Yu, Cheng Yaojin lifted him up, and then he couldn't wait to ask Li Yu what delicious food he brought him.

Li Yu opened the food boxes he brought from the Changsun Mansion one by one in front of Cheng Yaojin.

Cheng Yaojin looked at the meat in the food box, his eyes glowed green, and impatiently picked up the roasted lamb scorpion and ate it.

Cheng Shaojian was finally able to eat meat, and started to eat meat like his old man.

Cheng Yaojin asked someone to bring the wine, and he wanted to drink heavily while eating the meat.

"Little fish, have a drink."

Li Yu wanted to drink, but he was too young now, and his body was just right, so he didn't dare to drink, so he quickly waved his hand at Cheng Yaojin: "Old Cheng, drink it."

"Don't dare to drink?"

Changsun Jing said quickly: "Uncle Cheng, Xiao Yu'er is not in good health, he can't drink."

"If you are not healthy, you should eat more meat." Cheng Yaojin picked up a roast leg of lamb and handed it to Li Yu, "Eating more lamb is good for your health."

"Old Cheng, thank you."

"Little Yu'er, your roasted lamb is really good." Cheng Yaojin was grabbing the wine jar to fill the wine, while opening his mouth wide and biting the leg of lamb vigorously.

Cheng Shao held the mutton chops with both hands, ate his mouth full of oil, and said inarticulately: "Order Ruiwang...you made this...it's a good time..."

Cheng Yaojin, father and son are very good at eating meat, and they finished all the meat brought by Li Yu in a short time.

After eating, the father and son were still unsatisfied, feeling that there was too little.

Cheng Yaojin called the cooks in his house over and asked Li Yu to teach them how to cook barbecue.Li Yu told the cook at Cheng Yaojin's residence in great detail how to roast mutton.

The cooks of the Cheng's mansion were taken aback when they heard this, they seemed to have never expected that cooking a barbecue is so complicated.

After talking about the barbecue, Li Yu told Cheng Yaojin about the Cuju competition.

After hearing this, Cheng Yaojin was a little interested, so he asked Li Yu and the others to start the Cuju competition as soon as possible, and he must watch it then.

At this moment, Li Boda and Yuchi Xiu arrived together.Under Cheng Yong's introduction, Li Yu quickly became acquainted with Li Boda and the others.

Li Boda and Yuchi Xiuqi were also very interested after listening to the gameplay and rules of the Cuju competition and expressed their willingness to join.

Now there are more than ten people, Cheng Shao and the others urged Li Yu to start practicing in the afternoon.Seeing that they were more anxious than he was, Li Yu had no choice but to listen to them.

Lunch was eaten at Cheng Yaojin's residence.After lunch, Cheng Yaojin personally took Li Yu and the others to an open space.

This open space belongs to the Cheng family, and it is temporarily used as a place for Cuju training.

Before the training, Li Yu asked someone to draw the Cuju field, and then drew the goal.

After completing the course, Li Yu explained the rules of the game to Changsun Jing and the others again.He temporarily serves as a referee, watching Changsun Jing and his two teams practice and correcting their mistakes in the game.
