Chapter 110 Find a place to vomit for a while
Zhao Heng's health is indeed much better. Last time he needed someone to help him, but this time he walked in. However, Alzheimer's disease is mainly a neurological disease. It does not mean that if you are healthy, the disease will be cured. Some patients are very good and eat whatever they want, but Alzheimer's disease is getting worse and worse. This is the case for Zhao Heng.
"Li Aiqing, you have raised a good son. If it weren't for you this time, Miaoyuan would be in danger!" Zhao Heng grabbed Li Zhang's arm and said excitedly. Even though Li Yonghe next to him was mentally prepared, he also looked resentful at this time. Li Zhang even looked desperate. He had not gotten married yet, so where did he get his son?
However, Li Zhang and the others had long been used to Zhao Heng's appearance. Now he pretended to be a show with Zhao Heng, and then the four of them were still sitting like last time. Li Zhang and Zhao Zhen sat together, Li Yong and others sat alone opposite them, while Zhao Heng sat in the main seat. Moreover, the specifications of this banquet were obviously much higher than last time. Before the dishes were served, musicians began to play, and then more than a dozen dancers began to dance lightly with the music.
Li Zhang was not interested in music and dance, but these dancers were very beautiful. Just watching them dance around was quite pleasing to the eye. Unfortunately, it was too expensive to raise dancers, at least Li Zhang couldn't afford it now.
Although Li Yonghe on the opposite side has been a small official for a few days, it was the first time he had seen such a formation, especially a group of beauties dancing in front of him, which made him look straight. After all, this is normal. He used to be a small minority at the bottom. Suddenly, he felt like he could not move his eyes away with the enjoyment of such an upper class aristocrat.
When the song was over, Zhao Heng ordered the palace maids to serve wine and food. At this time, the dancer also changed a batch and began to dance some more soothing dances. At this time, Li Zhang also discovered that the food delivered this time was even more luxurious than last time. The most obvious thing was that the tableware had changed. I used only good tribute porcelain, but this time I actually used tableware made of gold to serve.
"Is this... real gold?" Li Zhang picked up a pair of gold chopsticks in front of him and looked at it carefully, then whispered to Zhao Zhen beside him. Even though he had seen a lot of worldly life in later generations, it was the first time that he was a rich man who directly used gold tableware.
"Of course, and this is not an ordinary gold tableware. It is rare for ordinary people to see it. Today, my father is willing to use this set of tableware to entertain my cousin. This shows how much he attaches importance to your cousin!" Zhao Zhen also lowered his voice and explained.
"What other ordinary or not is gold?" Li Zhang asked in surprise when he heard this.
"This..." Zhao Zhen was about to explain, but Zhao Heng had already raised his glass. If nothing unexpected happened, he really treated Li Zhang as Li Yonghe again. As a result, Li Zhang had to pause the conversation with Zhao Zhen and then began to deal with Zhao Heng's frequent toasts.
However, Li Zhang also learned to be smart this time. Anyway, Zhao Heng just wanted to find an opportunity to satisfy his alcohol addiction, so it doesn't matter whether Li Zhang drinks or not. Every time he drinks, he just touches the wine with his lips and pretends to be drinking. Zhao Heng is so confused that he doesn't even recognize people, so naturally he won't pay attention to whether Li Zhang really drinks?
Zhao Zhen next to him watched Li Zhang fool his father, but he didn't care at all, because if Li Zhang got drunk, he would be the one who was unlucky next time.
Wine is a good wine, but unfortunately Li Zhang doesn't like it, but vegetables are also good dishes, such as leopard fetus, carp tails, owl roasts, ape lip, bear's paw, crispy cherry cicada, etc. Li Zhang used to be famous for these dishes, but he had never eaten them before. Today he finally had the opportunity to taste them.
"It's delicious, it's really delicious. The imperial chef in the palace is indeed well-known. This dish is much better than outside!" Li Zhang praised Zhao Zhen next to him while eating. The dish this time was obviously several levels higher than last time. Not only did Li Zhang eat happily, but Li Yonghe on the opposite side was also very popular. No one paid attention to him anyway.
"Of course it's delicious. I rarely eat these things a few times. After all, the ingredients for cooking are expensive!" Zhao Zhen said with a heartache while picking up the dishes and chewing them. He and Zhao Heng's extravagant personality are completely different. Zhao Zhen can even be called very frugal, which is related to Liu E's education.
"Even you have a few times, so I have to eat more. I don't know when I will be able to eat next time?" Li Zhang also accelerated the chopsticks again when he heard this. Not only are these dishes difficult to find, but the production process is also very complicated. I am afraid that only the imperial chefs in the palace understand these things. At the same time, they also have time and make such delicacies at all costs.
After three rounds of wine, Zhao Heng had already drunk almost all the time. He stopped toasting, but squinted his eyes to appreciate the singing and dancing. Li Zhang had almost finished eating. At this time, he suddenly remembered the conversation just now, so he asked again: "You said these golden tableware were not ordinary, so why is it not common to do it?"
Zhao Zhen was also full at this time, and he lowered his chopsticks and explained again: "These tableware were given to his father by a famous Taoist priest. It is said that he was a magic weapon he refined by alchemy. It can be filled with energy for a long time and avoid any disease. Even if Miaoyuan survives, it is thanks to this set of golden tableware!"
"How to refine alchemy?" When Li Zhang heard this, he felt a little bad in his heart. He heard that these tableware were actually related to Miaoyuan, which made him think of the golden tableware he used when he saw Miaoyuan last time. This made him unable to help but ask again, "Did Your Majesty give this set of tableware to Miaoyuan?"
"How is that possible? The Taoist priest said that the materials used were too precious and the techniques were very complicated. He failed countless times and destroyed countless precious materials. Finally, he refined two sets. Originally, only the father and the eldest lady were qualified to use them, but the eldest lady did not like gold, so it was usually only the father and the father used them. Later, after Miaoyuan was born, he was in poor health, and even the imperial doctor said Miaoyuan might not be able to support him. As a result, the father gave Miaoyuan the gold bowl he used, which made Miaoyuan survive." Zhao Zhen explained again at this time.
"Barring it, if this set of tableware is really useful, then why are Your Majesty and Miaoyuan's health not so good?" Li Zhang immediately asked disdainfully when he heard this. He didn't believe that tableware could make people sick, let alone the method of refining weapons by using alchemy, which made Li Zhang have a very bad guess.
"This..." Zhao Zhen was stunned when he heard Li Zhang's rebellious question, but he immediately spoke, "Cousin, you can't think so. Maybe if you didn't use this set of tableware, your father's illness might be more serious, and Miaoyuan couldn't grow up so big."
Zhao Zhen's words are correct in theory. After all, the different perspectives of the problem are different, so the results are naturally different. However, Li Zhang pondered for a moment and asked again: "Will that Taoist priest add lead, mercury and other things to gold?"
"Yes, not only are there these commonly used elixir materials such as lead and mercury, but also various rare herbs. Except for the set used by the father himself, the only one left is the set of the eldest lady. Now it is divided into two halves. We and my uncle's table are divided into half each. You didn't see that some dishes are also golden, but the color is different from other plates?" Zhao Zhen pointed to the plate on the table and said again.
Li Zhang followed Zhao Zhen's instructions and found that although some plates were also gold, they were lighter in color, while others were darker in color. Of course, if you don't look carefully, you can't tell it at all.
"I finally know the root of Miaoyuan and your father!" However, Li Zhang said with a look of grief and anger at this time. No wonder Zhao Heng's children died one by one. No wonder Miaoyuan's body was so weak and his resistance was very low. It turned out that the reason was all on this set of tableware.
"Really, cousin, tell me quickly, what is the root of the disease between father and Miaoyuan?" Zhao Zhen immediately asked with an ecstatic expression when he heard Li Zhang's words. If he had doubts about Li Zhang's medical skills before, but since he cured Miaoyuan and knew that Li Zhang had received guidance from a "god man", he had already regarded Li Zhang as a miracle doctor in his heart.
"This explanation is a bit complicated. Let's go out and find a place to vomit for a while!" Li Zhang showed a very helpless expression after being sad and angry. He was so happy just now, but now he vomited it all, which was like a waste of work.
"Spit... spit for a while?" Zhao Zhen showed a shocked expression when he heard Li Zhang's words. He really didn't understand what Li Zhang meant?
"Stop asking, I'll explain it to you later!" Li Zhang immediately stood up, then ran out with Zhao Zhen on the excuse of going to the bathroom. Outside the hall was a row of tall pillars. He found a pillar and directly pressed his throat. As a result, he felt nauseous, but he couldn't vomit it out for a short time. Instead, he could only make a "vomiting, vomiting~". Zhao Zhen next to him was almost vomited with disgust.
"Wow~" In the end, Li Zhang finally vomited out the hope, and Zhao Zhen also retching, almost vomited out. Li Zhang continued to work hard and vomited several times in succession, and finally vomited almost the same thing in his stomach.
"What are you still waiting for? Spitting quickly!" When Li Zhang saw Zhao Zhen standing beside him with a disgust, he immediately ordered him.
"What are you vomiting?" Zhao Zhen really didn't understand Li Zhang's intention to do this, and it was not very pleasant to vomit. Who would be willing to spit out the things in his stomach without any trouble?
"If you don't want to give birth to so many children like your father but cannot survive in the future, I advise you to vomit it out soon!" Li Zhang said weakly at this time. Although his stomach was completely vomited, his whole body was also exhausted. At this time, he could only hold the pillar to stand firm.
