PS: I'm a little empty today, and there's still another chapter around 9 o'clock in the evening.

After Li Shimin arrived, the banquet finally officially began. The fruits and cold cuts on the banquet table were removed, and all kinds of delicious dishes that had been prepared were immediately served, especially the "beggar chicken" and roast duck that Li Yan had invented. The unique fragrance and color attracted a lot of people's attention as soon as they came up.

But this was just the beginning. More than a dozen bonfires had risen in the space in the middle of the venue. The barbecue racks had been placed, and one fat sheep rack with seasonings had been placed on the fire. In a short while, a strong barbecue fragrance drifted out, especially when the cumin powder was sprinkled on it, the very special aroma stimulated the drool.

In addition to these bonfires, there are more than a dozen large pots of strange style in the venue, which are also very eye-catching. These large pots are all made of brass, with a base below and a round pot above, but in the middle of the pot, there is a towering chimney.

That's right, this is the giant hot pot made by Li Yan. In fact, it is only several times larger than the special hot pot of later generations. This giant hot pot is placed on the table, and the plates of extremely thin mutton are placed around it. The mutton was frozen in the ice cellar last night. When eaten, it was cut by a chef with excellent knife skills, otherwise it would not be so thin at all.

Although the food is good, it is still in a secondary position in the eyes of those who are good at drinking. More than half of the present came to the legendary Five Kings.

After bringing up all kinds of dishes, rows of waiters in white costumes came up with trays, each with a wine pot and several wine glasses. Wherever the waiters passed, a strong aroma of wine spread, causing people around to sniff, especially those old alcoholics who had no alcoholic eyes to stretch their necks, their noses twitched vigorously, and their eyes were almost falling off. After drinking wine for so many years, this was the first time they smelled such a strong wine.

This is a wine blended with wine. Although the wine contains a lot of methanol, it has almost evaporated after several days of standing. At this time, blending it into the wine will only make the wine taste more mellow.

"Good wine, good wine!" After Li Shimin smelled the fragrance of the wine, he also praised him repeatedly. Li Yan took the initiative and then poured a glass of wine for Li Shimin on the tray. Of course, the emperor had to drink the first glass of wine.

"Father, this is the wine "Five Kings Drunk" brewed by my son and uncles and brothers. In this first glass of wine, I wish my father the blessing of the East China Sea and the longevity of the South Mountain. I also wish my Tang Dynasty a great success for generations and the country will last forever!" Li Yan raised his wine glass and bowed to Li Shimin.

"Okay, okay! Ye'er is really a literary talent!" Li Shimin was so angry that his whole body was fluttered by the fragrance of wine and Li's flattery. He smiled and took the wine glass and drank it all.

"Ha~" The first time I drank such a strong wine, Li Shimin only felt like a ball of fire in his throat, but after the ball of fire entered his stomach, his whole body was warm. Then there was an unspeakable coolness that surged into his chest. The taste was really hard to describe.

"Good wine! Hahahaha~, give me all my dear friends. Today, there is no distinction between king and minister, and everyone will not return without getting drunk!" Li Shimin only felt the drunkenness, and once again found the feeling of being arrogant in the battlefield when he was young. He laughed excitedly, put down the king's airs very heroically, and must have a good drink today.

The others could not wait any longer and took the wine glasses of the servants beside them. Li Jing's military generals were even more generous. They snatched the wine pot and poured it into their mouths. They could never miss the wine that Li Shimin praised.

"Puff~" Not everyone present could adapt to such strong wine at once. Many people were used to drinking the light wine they used to. As a result, the first sip became a little big. They suddenly felt like charcoal was on fire in their mouths. The poor concentration even spit out the wine they had drunk in one sip.

"Good wine!"

"What a strong wine!"

"This wine should only be found in heaven, so how many times can I taste it in the world?"

…………

However, more people tasted the wine, and although their faces were choked, their faces were red, they all praised with excitement.

"Hahahaha~, this is the wine for men. Compared with it, all wine turns into boiled water!" Another loud voice shouted, and he didn't need to look at it, and it was the old rogue Cheng Yaojin. These generals all blew at the pot, drank more fiercely than anyone else, but they were choked worse than anyone else. Each face was purple, but no one was willing to vomit it out. Li Xiaogong looked at the embarrassing appearance of these people, and his face was full of laughter. He deliberately wanted to see these people make a fool of themselves. In the end, Cheng Yaojin had strong adaptability and was the first to swallow the wine and praised loudly.

"Hahaha~, wine is good, but everyone should eat something first to be at the bottom, otherwise they can't last a few cups!" Li Shimin looked at the blushing look of the generals, and laughed happily. He greeted everyone and asked the banquet to start. Li Yan was the first to pounce on the dining table. The civil and military officials around him were not polite, and rushed over with a whistle.

Li Yan had been busy for a day and didn't eat much. Now he was hungry. He rushed to the dining table and grabbed a plate, grabbed a beggar's thigh and chewed it. Others also followed suit. He took a plate and turned around the dining table. When he saw the food he liked, he picked it up and put it on his own plate. Although some corrupt scholars thought eating like this would be a disgrace to eat, most people felt very free, much better than the fixed banquet format in the past.

After Li Yan had something in his stomach, he looked at Comrade Li and found that Li Shimin was very interested in several new foods. After eating beggar chicken halfway, he turned around the roast duck. The roast duck had already been prepared, and there were thin noodles, noodles sauce, green onion strips and other foods next to it. Unfortunately, Li Shimin didn't know how to eat it, and only knew to eat it with crispy and crisp duck skin.

Li Yan hurriedly walked up, dipped the duck skin in the noodle sauce, then spread the noodle sauce on the noodle cake, put a few tender green onions, wrapped it, handed it to Li Shimin, and said, "Father, although this roast duck tastes good, it will feel greasy if you eat too much, but eating it will be much better."

"Hahaha~, I'm so kind!" Li Shimin laughed and took it over, then put the wrapped roast duck in his mouth and took a bite. He found that it was indeed much more delicious than eating roast duck directly. He nodded with satisfaction and didn't care about talking to Li Yan. After eating the roast duck in his hand in a few bites, he couldn't help but roll up the dough cakes. Others also followed suit and came up to taste the roast duck. For a moment, the duck meat on the table dropped rapidly, and the servants serving him hurriedly asked someone to come up again.

The whole roasted lamb had been occupied by Li Xiaogong and his gang generals. A group of half-large old men surrounded several fires, one hand of mutton and the other hand of strong wine. The atmosphere was very wild while singing and drinking. The civil servants around were far away from them, so that anyone would not hurt themselves if they were drunk.

The mutton sautum was surrounded by a group of civil officials. For this way of eating the freshness and tenderness of mutton, dipping it in the sesame paste made, it was absolutely supreme delicacy. After the interest came, these civil officials were very lively in reciting poems, and later even Li Shimin joined in.

Seeing that the banquet was on track, Li Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Now that he had nothing to do, he could finally eat something safely. He picked up a lot of dishes he liked to eat on his plate, and then took a glass of juice and sat down in a corner to prepare for food. But before he could take a few bites, someone came to him.

"Liulang, why are you hiding here?" Li Ke led a group of people to find Li Yan, pointed at the people behind him with a smile and said, "These are all my friends, I'll introduce them to you!"

"I'm going to see you brothers!" Li Yan hurriedly got up, wiped his mouth and saluted. These people were about the same age as Li Yan, but unfortunately none of them knew each other. When these people saw Li Yan saluting, they immediately bowed back to salute. Many people looked at Li Yan with curious eyes. They all knew what kind of virtue Li Yan was, but when they saw him today, they seemed to have changed their personalities.

"Come on, this is Qin Huaiyu, the son of the Duke of Yi, this is Fang Yiai, the son of Fang Xiang, and this is Li Jingye, the grandson of the Duke of England..." Li Ke drank a lot of wine, his face turned red like a monkey's butt, and he smiled foolishly while introducing everyone to Li Yan. Li Yan kept saying 'Good luck and happiness'. These people were either behind the generals or the sons of important officials in the court. The one Fang Yiai Li Yan had seen him last time, but he didn't expect that he was still familiar with Li Ke?

However, when Li Ke introduced Cheng Huailiang, both of them were a little embarrassed, while the people around him were all looking at the show. After all, Cheng Huailiang beat Li Yan to amnesia last time. Although it was said that Li Yan was wronged and fell, everyone here was well-informed. Who doesn’t know what happened?

"Okay, okay, what's wrong with the two big men? Isn't it just that they had a fight last time? This time I gave my third brother a face and drank all the wine in my hands. I will still be a good brother in the future!" Li Ke probably drank a lot and said to the two of them with a smell of alcohol.

"Hahaha~, the third brother said it well. Last time, I was wrong first. Brother Huailiang, please forgive me!" Li Yan also smiled freely and raised his glass and said, "Come on, let's 'get rid of grudges when we meet each other', I respect you brother!"

"Okay! What a meeting and laugh at each other to eliminate grudges. Since Liulang is so generous, then brothers will not be pretentious. Do it~!" Cheng Huailiang was also a cheerful person. Seeing that Li Yan was so generous, he did not refuse at the moment. He raised his glass and slapped Li Yan and drank it all, and then the two laughed together.

"Hahaha~, others say that Liu Lang has been reborn and has extraordinary literary talent. I didn't believe it at first, but today I saw it, it turned out to be well-known!" Seeing Li Yan and Cheng Huailiang relieving their grudges, everyone around him shouted loudly, and Qin Huaiyu even praised him loudly.

Since the grudges have been resolved, everyone is young and has many common topics. In addition, food and wine to cheer up, Li Yan and everyone got together. I believe that they will soon be recognized by these people, and then they will be truly integrated into this top playboy circle.
