The time has come, and naturally it is time to eat.
Lao Li and these old men had had countless meals at his place, and now it was finally his turn to have a meal.
Not to mention, Tang Sufan was really looking forward to this meal.
He would like to see how old Li, the mighty emperor, can entertain his future son-in-law, even if he is just acting~
Li Shimin naturally knew, how could this boy get the ordinary taste?
Therefore, the best cooks in the imperial dining room were dispatched early in the morning.
The ingredients should not be too top-notch, otherwise they would not be in line with his status as an imperial merchant. Besides, he was so poor that Li Shimin couldn't bear to part with them.
Secondly, the food must be delicious, so the kitchen on the west side of the mansion was busy with work early in the morning.
There are only two or three imperial chefs in Dingtang~
In order to appear intimate, Li Shimin also changed the table-sharing system and used an exquisite mahogany table. Unfortunately, there was no armchair like the one at Tang Sufan's house.
Just like a few people at home having a simple meal~
Although servants were not allowed to sit at the same table when entertaining guests, Li Shimin found an excuse, and Tang Sufan and them were old acquaintances, so he simply let the three old men serve at the table together.
. Poor, three dignified princes.
If you want to have a meal on the table but have to find an excuse, who can you ask to explain this?
After a while, the table was filled with people.
The eldest grandson Wugu took care of Tang Sufan kindly.
"Su Fan, sister knows that your food is rare in the Tang Dynasty. Sister, please be patient with these daily meals~"
Naturally, they knew the taste of the food at Tang Sufan's house very well. It had been almost a month since he had seen the prince as his disciple, and his little face had become a lot rounder...
"No, it's okay. These dishes are delicious, delicious, and are not commonplace food..."
Tang Sufan glanced at it, what a guy, there were two big bear paws in the cauldron at the head of two kingfishers.
This is a bear’s paw!
In future generations, if you eat bear paws, you won't be able to find them even if you look for them. It's still illegal to eat them, thanks to the fact that we are in the Tang Dynasty now.
Now these two big pots of bear paws are right in front of you, not to mention how dazzling they are.
In addition to bear paws, some other messy ingredients were not cooked properly, but there were also many rare items.
After all, it is a dish produced by the imperial chef. Depending on the quality of the ingredients, it can barely produce a three-point taste.
Then Changsun Wugou pointed to the milky white soup in the middle and said.
"This is the Goblin Shanlin soup that my sister made herself this morning. You can try it later..."
Tang Sufan felt a bit weirdly proud as a modern person that the dignified mother of the country could make soup for him, and at the same time he was also a little touched by his eldest grandson Wugou's affection.
Then Tang Sufan said worriedly: "Thank you for your hard work, sister, but sister, your Qi disease cannot be near the smoke. From now on, cook less if you can."
"It's okay. There's nothing my sister can do. You've helped Erlang a lot during this period, and you've even accepted Gao Ming as your disciple. My sister knows a few tricks, but she's not as good as you. Don't let anyone out."
The eldest grandson Wugao served Tang Sufan a bowl of soup with a smile on his face.
Although the eldest grandson Wugou is a queen, he is not ignorant of cooking skills.
This goblin shanlin soup, this goblin is a yam, and this shanlin is the most tender piece of meat in the middle of the back of the deer.
The stewed soup is delicious and does not require too much seasoning. It can also rely on the seasoning of yam to make it delicious, not fishy, and fresh and delicious.
It was obvious that several old men were envious of the fact that the majestic mother of the country cooked and served food for them. Such an honor was something that few people in the Tang Dynasty could enjoy...
Even if Changsun Wuji is the biological brother of Empress Changsun, he hasn't received this kind of treatment in how many years.
Immediately the luncheon began, and it was enjoyable for a while.
The conversation between the two siblings, coupled with Tang Sufan's talk of Lao Li from time to time.
This made Concubine Yin and Concubine Yang, who came out to act, still feel dizzy even when she was sitting at the dinner table.
Lao Li? elder sister?
Concubine Yin and Concubine Yang glanced in the direction of Yuzhang...
Completely confused...
They didn't know that Tang Sufan was concerned about Changsun Wugou's sister...
What's more, he poured out the regrets he had for his biological sister in his previous life.
…
Just when Tang Sufan was having lunch with the "Li Shimin family" who are full of acting skills.
Chang'an City, in a certain pavilion of Guilingyuan.
Several old men in Confucian robes and Chinese robes frowned and sat quietly here.
There wasn't even a serving person around.
"Brother Zheng San, haven't your men found out about the paper-making workshop behind the imperial court?"
An old man with narrow eyes, a short nose bridge, and white beards trimmed as neatly as small needles, squinting at the opposite side, and wearing a simple gray robe said.
"We have found some connections. However, in Chang'an Bookstore, we can even see the secret guards under the current emperor to check. It is really difficult to find ordinary connections..."
The old man shook his head in disappointment.
"Everyone, you have read it today, right? The articles in the Datang Daily are articles by several scholars and great Confucian scholars of mine who I know very little about. Most of them are people who are not from my family, even if it is the Hanlin Academy A bachelor who likes to study law can get His Majesty's letter... and write down the law of the Tang Dynasty on it..."
An old man sitting at the back said slowly with a hoarse voice.
"It seems... the current emperor cannot see us old men retreating peacefully..."
"Also, there is a man named Ma Zhou who wrote Twenty-one Articles on the Country. Many courtiers admired it very much. I have also read it. It is indeed good. With his talent and His Majesty's actions, it can be seen that Come, Your Majesty is going to bring prosperity to a poor family..."
The old man with slender features and slender features just now waved his hand.
"Everyone, don't you think there is something fishy about this matter? You can imagine that it is almost seven days now, and the number of reports posted by Datang Daily is increasing every day. You can't imagine that in just one month, Datang Daily will be able to mature Everyone, I don’t need to say more about what the impact of seeing these corners of the streets of Chang’an is, right?”
"Today, the most important point is, where does the paper of Chang'an Bookstore come from?! And I have seen the printing method on it, and the daily printing version is the same..."
"Is it possible that they can make a cover one day in advance? The doorway is the most thought-provoking part!"
Their aristocratic family has the best educational resources and knowledge resources, so as to achieve the purpose of winning over military and political affairs and even defeating forces.
If it's one day, two days, three days...
They can still wait and see what happens. What is the path of Datang Daily?
It has been a full seven days now, and the sales of Datang Daily have continued to rise, and its cheap paper is being supplied to the market as if there is a continuous supply.
How can this make them sit still?
If this cheap paper keeps appearing in the future, as long as they think about the implications behind it, they will feel chills running down their spines...
"Cui Xing, although there is no way to verify who runs this Chang'an Bookstore, but... there is some clue as to the origin of this paper..."
"Oh? Brother Zheng, tell me quickly..."
"Before, I sent people to keep an eye on the whereabouts of the soldiers who came in and out of Chang'an Bookstore in the morning and evening. The people below discovered that they would come out of the city...a place called Jinghe Village before dawn every day..."
