The bottom of the pot was churning, various ingredients were rising and falling in the pot, and a big puff of white gas was wafting out.
Both of them had sweat on their foreheads. Lin Luo wiped the sweat from his forehead with a tissue and handed another one to Jiang Li, "Here, wipe the sweat off your head... Do you want a mixing bowl?" ?”
"Ingredients bowl?"
"Tahini or something like that can enrich the flavor."
Jiang Li shook his head slightly, "No need, this is quite delicious."
"It's quite tasty...that means it's delicious, right?"
"It's not bad. No wonder you had a preference for this hot pot when you were in Daqi."
"It's not that I have a preference, it's just that the cooking there... is all about stewing and boiling. There are too few varieties and few seasonings. I can't even find cumin when I want to eat barbecue."
It's miserable enough to be a eunuch in time travel. Without the most important form of entertainment, apart from status, money and power, you can only covet the lust of words.
But the diet 1,400 years ago was really poor. Not to mention the lack of many seasonings, there was not even a wok. The cook was still a tripod-like thing, whose scientific name is a cauldron.
Lin Luo didn't know how he could survive even if he couldn't satisfy his lust for words.
Modern times are better, leaving aside everything else. Just talking about food, compared to the ancient times more than a thousand years ago, it was simply a life lived by gods.
Hearing this, Jiang Li suddenly thought of something, then frowned and asked: "So you originally encouraged me to create a Silk Road and send people across the Western Regions to establish diplomatic relations with those foreign countries and carry out trade with them.
Is it actually for the cumin? Is it to satisfy your oral desires? "
Lin Luo's hand holding the chopsticks paused, then raised his head and said, "Am I doing this for the country and the people? They don't have the silk and porcelain we have here, and they can't make them even if they want to.
In today's terms, cutting-edge technology is stuck in their necks, and they can only come to us if they want it.
Those Hu businessmen came all the way here, bought it back and resold it at a price difference of ten times or a hundred times. They made all the money, so why don’t we make it ourselves? "
Jiang Li looked at him distrustfully, "Really?"
This look made Lin Luo very hurt, "What? Do you doubt my noble sentiments for the country and the people?"
"...."
Jiang Li didn't answer, just looked at him quietly through the steaming heat of the hot pot.
Through a layer of white mist, Lin Luo felt that her eyes seemed to be stained with an inexplicable meaning. Although she said nothing, it seemed as if she had said everything.
After looking at each other for a while, he chose to give in, "Okay, I admit that I did it for cumin and to satisfy my oral desires.
But I also want to trade and enrich the treasury. There is no conflict between the two, right? "
There is indeed no conflict, but you still lied to me.
Jiang Li twitched his nose, feeling very unhappy.
This bastard... not only in modern times, but as early as Daqi, he has already started to deceive me and waste my trust.
And they all use the same method.
He used high-sounding reasons and the banner of serving the country and the people to conceal his true intentions.
For example, this mutual trade, how to open up business routes, enrich the national treasury, and use the name of trade to find out the true and false status of other countries, waiting for the opportunity of our government.
First seek wealth and profit, and then use the king's way to make them submit to our dynasty. If the king's way does not work, just wait for a good opportunity to come, and then use the military way, so as to make our great Qi country's prestige far away. Big man....
It was so well said. That impassioned face seemed to be still in front of her eyes, but it was all a lie. Who would have thought that this guy actually wanted to sprinkle cumin on the barbecue.
It is even more excessive to live in modern times now. Although there is no longer the banner of serving the country and the people, high-sounding excuses are still readily available to cover up his ulterior and dirty thoughts.
And this dirty thought is directed at me, what a bastard.
Lin Luo didn't know what she was thinking, so she picked up the remaining ingredients and put some into the pot, adding some to the red soup pot. When she was about to put it into the clear soup pot, she saw a lot of things rolling there.
"Eat quickly over there. I can't even order food for you. Let's get the meat rolls first. This can't be cooked for too long."
"....Um."
Jiang Li hummed through his nose, picked up his chopsticks and picked up vegetables in the pot.
Lin Luo felt a little embarrassed when he heard this soft hum, "What's wrong? Why are you suddenly unhappy?"
"..."
Jiang Li didn't want to pay attention to him. Over there, as an emperor, she was bullied by this little slave.
Here she was living under someone else's roof, losing her status as an emperor, and this bitch was no longer a eunuch, so he started to have those obscene thoughts on her.
He actually had the nerve to ask himself why he was unhappy?
"If you put away those ulterior thoughts of yours, I might be happy."
Lin Luo blinked and asked with a confused look on his face: "What are your ulterior motives?"
I have my thoughts, but if I add an ulterior prefix, he won't recognize it. Although I am greedy for you, how can I call it ulterior? I am just greedy in an honest way.
Nothing wrong.
"Do you want to add some more dishes? Lamb rolls, beef rolls or something?"
"No, I'm almost full."
"Is this enough?"
"Um."
"Okay." Lin Luo didn't say much. The emperor's appetite was indeed not big. He originally planned to take her to eat at the buffet, but luckily he didn't go, otherwise he would be destined to die.
"Then drink some Coke and wait for me while I fish out the remaining vegetables in the pot. By the way, when we get back, let's go to the supermarket and buy some brown sugar and red dates."
"What are you buying these for?"
"The weather is cold. Cook brown sugar, red dates and some ginger together to ward off the cold."
"It's autumn now, do we have to start fighting off the cold?"
"It's been raining recently, and it's the flu season. It's easy to get cold, so you need to drink some of this to drive away the cold."
For the sake of the emperor's dignity, Lin Luo came up with a reason to deal with the matter. Then he remembered something and said instead:
"Well... it's about going back to my house. It's the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days. I checked on my phone. It didn't rain during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it was also a day of reunion. Let's go back during the Mid-Autumn Festival. What do you think? ?”
"what ever."
Now that she has agreed to the matter, Jiang Li has no intention of objecting. However, she checked on the Internet. Under normal circumstances, if a couple feels that the other party is not suitable, they can break up in one to two months, or even shorter, at the latest. No more than three months.
Talking about hormones, dopamine secretion will only last for three months, and the novelty of love will wear off.
Inexplicably, she didn't understand it very well, but it had been one to two months, and now counting on my fingers, it seemed that it was almost a month.
Then at the latest...we can break up after waiting for a while.
maybe?
Jiang Li felt a little unsure. She always felt that breaking up might not be that easy.
