Chapter 194
Li Shimin was so angry that he didn't know how to curse. He looked at the food box. Fortunately, there were a lot of buns.
He picked up a bun and ate a few big mouthfuls.
He didn't have dinner tonight, so he immediately felt that the pork buns were extremely delicious.
"Father, eat quickly, these buns are very fragrant, just right for filling an empty stomach." Li Shimin pushed the buns to Li Yuan and said vaguely.
Li Yuan nodded. He had already smelled the fragrance of the buns.
After picking up a bun, he said to Empress Changsun and the other three, "You can eat too, no need to be polite."
"My daughter-in-law thanks my father!" The three thanked at the same time.
"Thank you, Grandpa Emperor!"
Little Sizi never suffers a loss. She always answers when there is something good.
Little Li Zhi is different. He doesn't dare to mess around until it's his turn.
Li Shimin and others ate two buns each, and there were more than ten buns left.
"Do you two want to eat more buns?" Li Shimin looked at the two little guys and asked.
"Father, Chi Nu is half full."
"Si Zi doesn't want to eat anymore, let's eat barbecue later."
Li Shimin looked at the two of them and smiled.
Then he looked at the old king and asked, "Old man, where are the King of Shu and Rengui now? Did they leave the recipe for these buns?"
"Your Majesty, after His Royal Highness the King of Shu and Xue Rengui sent the buns to the palace, they turned around and left the palace." The old king replied respectfully.
"Well, I guess they are in a hurry to go back and eat barbecue." Li Shimin nodded and murmured.
"Old man, it's a bargain for you. Take these buns and eat them. Share some with the people present." Li Shimin also learned from Su Chen and gave some benefits to the servants.
"Yes! Thank you, Your Majesty." Wang Defa quickly took the buns.
...
In the manor, Master Cheng has already started the stove and prepared for barbecue.
"Zhang Long, bring up the frozen beer. Li Ke and the others will be back soon." Su Chen glanced at his watch. It was almost time.
In addition to the food, there were three tables for eight people. Zhang Long and Zhao Hu were at one table.
Su Chen and Li Tai, the three brothers, plus Xue Rengui were at one table. Princess Changle and the others were at one table with the housekeeper Jin'er.
Princess Changle had previously colluded with Su Chen. She could only take out one bottle of Orange Juice tonight. She would drink the rest slowly by herself.
"My Lord, the charcoal fire is ready. Can we start grilling now?" The chef surnamed Cheng came to Su Chen and asked.
"Yes, grill the fish first."
"Okay, my Lord!" After a bow, Master Cheng walked towards the barbecue grill.
There were four chefs in front of the barbecue grill tonight, two of whom were chefs from the manor. They were mainly learning how to make barbecue.
The six chefs in the manor were all imperial chefs in the palace before. Later, they went to Leshan Restaurant and finally switched to the manor as chefs.
"Rengui and the others are back!" Li Tai reminded Su Chen.
"You're back just in time. It's been only forty minutes." Su Chen looked at his watch and said.
"Li Ke, Rengui, let's drink less tonight. We have a mission tomorrow morning." After the two sat down, Su Chen said to them solemnly.
"Yes, Lord!" Xue Rengui clasped his fists in agreement, and Li Ke nodded.
Neither of them asked what the mission was.
"Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, the four of you should also drink less. There will be a mission tomorrow morning." Su Chen stood up and said to Zhang Long and the others.
"Yes, Lord!" The four stood up and said with a bow.
Su Chen nodded, and looked at the table of Princess Changle and the others. There was nothing to say.
"Rengui, is there any problem with you riding a horse with a Fang Tian Hua Ji in your hand?"
Su Chen asked with some curiosity. The Fang Tian Hua Ji weighed more than 400 pounds.
Add to that Xue Rengui's own weight, the total weight is more than 500 kilograms. Can an ordinary horse bear it?
Li Ke on the side smiled slightly. He should know something.
"Su Chen, you don't have to worry. Rengui's magic weapon is very strange." Li Ke said with a smile.
Su Chen was very curious when he heard it.
"Oh? Tell me in detail, how is the Fang Tian Hua Ji strange?"
Li Ke has the most say about this. Since the two of them worshipped Li Jing as their master, they often practice martial arts together.
At the beginning, they used wooden sticks instead of weapons, and later they used real swords and guns.
From fighting on the ground to competing on horseback.
They accidentally discovered that as long as Xue Rengui held the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand and rode on the horse, the horse was not affected by the weight of the Fang Tian Hua Ji.
Even some thin horses were the same.
If Li Ke held the Fang Tian Hua Ji, the horse would be affected by the weight of the Fang Tian Hua Ji.
They told Li Jing about this strange phenomenon, and the latter was also amazed.
Li Jing couldn't explain it, but just sighed that the magic weapon had spirit.
Li Ke told Su Chen and the others about this, and Su Chen felt that he had lost a lot.
This Fang Tian Hua Ji was originally supposed to belong to him.Yes!
"Third brother, so you can also use the Fang Tian Hua Ji?" Li Tai suddenly interrupted and asked.
"It can be done in a short time, no more than a quarter of an hour. If it is to kill the enemy on the battlefield, it may not be possible." Li Ke shook his head and explained.
"Awesome, that's already very powerful!" Li Tai said with a thumbs up.
The quarter of an hour that Li Ke said refers to holding the halberd with one hand.
...
Not long after, the people who had eaten barbecue smelled the familiar aroma of cumin.
It means that some ingredients are about to be baked.
Sure enough, the servants and palace maids took the roasted crucian carp and distributed it to three tables. After roasting, it was cut in half, and each person could get half.
Su Chen couldn't wait to try this roasted fish. It would be more exciting if it was a whole one.
"Well, not bad! Good taste!" Su Chen praised after tasting it.
At the same time, he was a little confused. Now that the drought is so severe, where did this fish come from?
There shouldn't be anyone raising fish now, but he couldn't care less. He would eat first.
"Rengui, open the beer!" After eating half a fish, Su Chen snapped his fingers to Xue Rengui.
"Tonight, we should eat our fill. Only two bottles per person."
After the most time-consuming fish was grilled, the rest of the ingredients would be ready.
"Come on, cheers!"
"Cheers!"
The table of Princess Changle and her friends toasted with Orange Duo.
"Brothers, let's go too. Cheers!" Su Chen raised his glass and said loudly.
"Drink!"
"Cheers!" Everyone raised their glasses and drank in unison.
After about 20 minutes of eating and drinking, Princess Changle walked to Su Chen, "Su Chen, I want to try beer!"
Su Chen looked up at Princess Changle and asked in a low voice, "Have you finished drinking Orange Duo?"
Princess Changle nodded.
Su Chen picked up two bottles of opened beer, handed them to Princess Changle, and said, "Take it easy! Beer is more expensive than oil!"
"Tsk, stingy guy!" Princess Changle picked up the two bottles of beer and turned back to her table.
"I'll try this beer to see how it tastes."
Princess Changle poured herself a glass and took a big sip. She remembered Su Chen said: beer is only enjoyable if you drink it in big gulps.
However, her face changed soon. She held it in her mouth without swallowing it, her cheeks bulged, and her brows furrowed.
"It's slightly bitter and slightly sour. Is this something for people to drink?"
The other three women looked at her with tense expressions, waiting for Princess Changle's feedback after tasting it.
Princess Changle resisted the urge to spit it out and swallowed it slowly.
"Ah, cool! It tastes great. You should try it too. Beer is only enjoyable if you drink it in big gulps!"
Princess Changle said happily.
