The atmosphere suddenly became weird, and Zhao Si looked up awkwardly and smiled. Looking at the serious face of the First Emperor.
"How about...eating something first?"
The First Emperor looked at Zhao Si's polite smile. After being serious for a long time, he suddenly smiled and sat on the ground minding his own business.
When Zhao Si saw this, he immediately used the Qin sword at the side to slice the flesh of the First Emperor.
The First Emperor looked at the pieces of meat tumbling in the pot, and did not dislike the chopsticks used by Zhao Si. He picked up a piece of mountain venison and put it into his mouth.
It’s very different from trying dry chili before!
With the combination of butter mountain mushrooms, the aroma of chili peppers is completely stimulated. With the slight numbness of peppercorns and the soup base made from beef bones, the mountain venison in the mouth bursts out on the taste buds of the First Emperor's tongue. Same scent.
It’s not like the First Emperor had never eaten mountain venison.
If we evaluate it seriously, the mountain venison in the hot pot is even a bit overcooked and tastes a bit woody.
But the rich and spicy flavor and the fresh mushroom base make up for all this.
This is a brand new version that the First Emperor has never eaten before!
fragrant!
So delicious!
The taste buds are calling, and so is the empty belly!
So much so that the First Emperor only had time to taste and chew it before he couldn't wait to swallow it.
Swallowing a piece of mountain venison into his belly made his long-empty belly scream even more intensely. The First Emperor picked up another piece of mountain venison without any hesitation.
Enjoyable! But it’s not enough!
Just after trying it for the first time, the First Emperor was a little addicted to it and couldn't extricate himself.
The process of the numbness and spiciness dancing on the tip of the tongue and the continuous blooming of fragrance is so wonderful.
Especially the First Emperor has been losing his appetite for a long time recently.
At this moment! Work up an appetite!
One chopstick after another, faster and faster, the First Emperor ate happily.
Chili peppers, which originally had an ordinary taste, have become the most unique and addictive spices after being processed.
In a short time, the originally cooked mountain venison and minced meat in the copper pot had been swept away by the First Emperor.
Zhao Si quickly put the sliced meat into the pot again with quick eyes and hands.
It took time for the new meat to cook, and the Emperor finally stopped.
There is food in the stomach, but it is far from full.
The First Emperor was nearly two meters tall. He was an authentic big man from northern Shaanxi and had a large appetite. He had lost his appetite recently, but now that he has an appetite, it would not be surprising to eat several kilograms of meat.
Looking at the red meat rolling in the pot and Zhao Si serving on the side, the First Emperor even laughed at himself.
I have been feeling unwell for a long time, but it turns out that just one meal can make me feel happy.
The First Emperor was not a true gourmand, but today he lost his composure for a meal. However, the First Emperor was not someone who cared about such things. He just smiled to himself for a moment, looked at Zhao Si who continued to immerse himself in the meat, and waved his hand.
"Sit down and eat together!"
That is to say, it was a temporary idea, maybe it was because Zhao Si was more pleasing to the eye, or maybe the sudden visit disturbed Zhao Si's original eating?
In short, Zhao Si never expected that the First Emperor would actually invite him to the banquet. This moment made Zhao Si a little rude, but he drank a little bit of cat urine, and he was brave. When the First Emperor spoke, Zhao Si was really stupid He put down Qin Jian and sat down.
"You too." The First Emperor looked at Wang Li.
Wang Li was not as bold as Zhao Si and quickly declined, but the First Emperor waved his hand.
Originally, Zhao Si and Wang Li were eating wild food in the mountains. There was no reason to steal other people's jobs and not let people eat at the table. The First Emperor never needed these means to maintain his majesty.
Seeing the Emperor's resolute attitude, Wang Li went to the table to eat with trepidation.
This was really not the first time that Wang Li had dinner with the First Emperor.
The First Emperor held banquets with his ministers on more than one occasion, and Wang Li, as Wang Jian's direct grandson, was also entitled to the banquet.
When Wang Jian retired, the First Emperor personally visited the Wang family and had a banquet with three generations of the Wang family.
However, Wang Li felt that he was just following his grandfather and father for a meal. Compared to the big men in the court, he was just a little transparent, and it was even more impossible for him to eat with the First Emperor.
As my father said, being able to be a housekeeping dog in this life is a tribute to my ancestors.
I never expected that I would be lucky enough to eat from the same pot as the First Emperor.
Wang Li sat upright, secretly tidied his clothes, and glanced at his father, and saw that his father's face really looked much better.
This made Wang Li feel a little proud. He seemed to have made a difference, even though he had done nothing?
Wang Li was sitting upright, and Zhao Si couldn't say anything to communicate with his friends. Mainly, the First Emperor was sitting beside him. If the First Emperor didn't speak, the atmosphere was still a bit awkward.
However, the awkward atmosphere did not last long. Seeing that the meat in the pot had risen, the First Emperor picked up the chopsticks without any hesitation.
"Your Majesty, cook some more." Zhao Si took the opportunity to speak.
"Why?" The First Emperor looked at Zhao Si.
He just felt that the meat in the pot was a bit overcooked and the taste was not good enough. Although the bottom of the pot was there and the aroma was rich, it was still a little bit worse.
In the pre-Qin period, it was common for one person to cook his own pot for each meal. Many times there were no servants around, so the First Emperor was very good at cooking and eating.
"Although game meat is fragrant, it is easy to be parasitized by mountain water bugs. If it is not cooked thoroughly, there is a fear of bugs entering the body." Zhao Si answered.
In modern times, there are countless people infected with parasites or viruses due to eating wild game. Zhao Si is not unreasonably worried.
In this era, medical treatment methods are extremely limited, and it will be very troublesome if you are infected.
Although he has a raw jade aura, the parasite's own raw jade aura may not be able to solve it.
"Like a fish?" the First Emperor asked.
"About the same." Zhao Si replied.
The First Emperor nodded and chose to follow the good path.
Fish dumplings are actually sashimi in ancient times. This thing has been around since the Zhou Dynasty.
From the Zhou Dynasty to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was popular all over the world, and even derived a lot of particularities.
"The Book of Songs" records, "Drinking to keep all my friends alive will make them happy"
It is recorded in "Book of Rites" and "The Analects of Confucius" that "wine, onions are used in spring and mustard is used in autumn", and "don't eat it without its sauce".
However, most of the fish in the Central Plains are freshwater fish. Freshwater fish are particularly rich in parasites, so countless people have died suddenly from eating fish.
However, death cannot stop gourmets from yearning for delicious food. Fish and dumplings remained popular until the Tang Dynasty. It was not until the Song Dynasty that stir-fried dishes became popular and people had more choices of food. The way of eating raw meat and sashimi gradually became a souvenir delicacy.
Because so many people died suddenly after eating fish and crabs, the First Emperor naturally knew that and basically did not eat fish and crabs.
Therefore, Zhao Si understood the truth as soon as he mentioned the first emperor.
It's just a pity...it would be nice if the meat was more tender!
