Compared to the boring Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin and the others are very much to Xiao Han's liking.
Xiao Han also sincerely likes to be with these outspoken men.
Well, at least they seem to be outspoken...
When it was almost the first lunar month, these guys finally came to Xiao Han's Zhuangzi to pay a visit.
Moreover, these few others were not brought with them, but the groomsmen all brought more than two!
Needless to say, this is so that after he drinks it, he can lift himself up and run away immediately!
After the hangover at Chai Shao's house, they didn't dare to spend the night in Sanyuan even if I killed them.
However, they seemed to have misunderstood Xiao Han's measure.
The banquet started, and as the host, Xiao Han had no intention of trying to trick them, which made the anxious people somewhat relieved.
Of course, if Xiao Han knew that he could scare several generals who were famous for their bravery into this, he would definitely feel particularly proud.
"Luo Shixin left first, I guess we will be next!" After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the atmosphere of the banquet gradually became more lively. Cheng Yaojin, who was sitting on Xiao Han's left hand side, was biting a piece of hoof and spoke fluently. Qing De said to Xiao Han.
Hearing this, Xiao Han put down his chopsticks and frowned: "He left first? Why didn't I know about such a big thing?"
Liu Hongji chuckled at the side and said: "Don't you know this now? He was to be a pioneer, so he left very secretly. Not only you, but also most of the people in the court don't know about this."
"Oh..." Xiao Han looked better after hearing this. He picked up the cup and took a sip of the grape wine and said: "Let's not talk about him first. I also want to ask, I also asked to fight in this expedition. Why is it that the military department is following me now? Did you forget about me? Not even a notice?"
"Don't worry, they haven't forgotten! But you will be the last group to leave. King Qin specifically said that you can go with the medical staff and the supply camp. He doesn't want you to go to the front line. At most, he will give you a record to join the army."
Cheng Yaojin explained in a rough voice, and dropped the clean gnawed hoof on the ground.
I don't know how he ate it. Even Xiao Qi who came over after smelling it took a look and didn't bother to eat anymore.
"Hey, that's natural! I was never on the front line. Talents like me! If you go to the front line, that's called a secret betrayal!" After Xiao Han got the accurate information from Cheng Yaojin, he felt relieved. Most of it.
Moreover, he was very satisfied with the fact that he didn't need to carry a knife to kill someone.
That job is done by barbarians like Cheng Yaojin! Aspiring young people like us can use our brains to solve the problem, so don’t do it! Because we can’t defeat it with our hands...
Chai Shao looked at the triumphant Xiao Han and deliberately struck him: "Talents? A lot of geniuses have died these days! You really treat yourself like a fool. The reason why you are not allowed to go to the battlefield is because of your combat prowess... "
Having said this, Chai Shao paused and looked around. When he saw Xiao Qi lying on the ground, he immediately smiled, pointed at it and said to Xiao Han: "Well, it's not even as good as it! Then why go up there?"
"puff……"
As soon as Chai Shao finished speaking, Cheng Yaojin took a sip of wine and almost sprayed it on the table! Fortunately, he was quick enough and quickly turned around Xiao Han and sprayed it on the ground behind him, thus saving a table of food.
"Hey, can't you say something nice? I've been working hard to exercise recently!"
Unlike Cheng Yaojin who couldn't stop coughing, Xiao Han didn't have much objection to Chai Shao taking advantage of himself and Xiao Qibi.
And what he said about exercising hard is not false! He really does exercise, but unlike others, he only practices one event these days, and that is... running...
Whether he is running with legs or riding a horse, he is practicing! And his results are outstanding. At least the fastest Xiaodong can't catch up with him. As for the purpose of practicing this, any fool can guess it.
Chai Shao didn't know the training program Xiao Han had planned for him, so he looked at Xiao Han again in surprise.
But when he saw the pair of still thin arms, he immediately looked away without interest.
Do you still want to exercise? Just steam and braise your arms like this. As for the Lian Ma Shan and Mo Dao? Just save it...
The people sitting here today are all brothers who know everything about him. No one would think that Xiao Han's value must be realized on the battlefield.
So after we all made fun of Xiao Han's chicken-like body, no one really took it seriously.
If everyone knows how to fight, why do we need them?
Eat meat and drink alcohol.
After all, no one knows when the war will start. When the battlefield is reached, such delicacies can only be imagined in dreams.
Other things at Xiao Han's house may disappoint people, but only the food and wine will never disappoint others!
This is not to mention that for today's banquet, the fat chef specially used his skills to keep the bottom of the box. These people were dazzled by the various new dishes.
During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, dignitaries rarely ate pork.
Compared with dirty pigs that love to wallow in mud, snow-white sheep and strong cows are more in line with their noble life.
However, in Xiao Han's family, no one cares about this.
Although beef and mutton are good, how can they be as simple as pork? Frying, steaming, and boiling are all indispensable!
And the most important thing is that the cost of raising pigs is much lower than those two, and the amount of meat produced is also higher.
Therefore, Xiao Han long ago believed that he had the obligation to teach the people of the Tang Dynasty the correct way of eating.
A dish of sweet and sour pork ribs was served, the red pork ribs had a crystal luster.
Xiao Han just picked up the chopsticks and said "have a try", only half of the plate of ribs was left...
When he hurriedly picked out a piece, there was only a little bit of soup left on the plate.
"Xiao Han, this dish is good! I think it's better than the previous ones! And it's sweet. Did you add icing sugar?" Duan Zhixuan held a large piece of ribs in each hand, licked the oil on his lips with his tongue, and asked in surprise.
.
"It's rock candy!" Xiao Han only grabbed a piece of ribs. At this time, he was feeling depressed.
Rock sugar was something he just tinkered with when he was bored recently. It is used to make sweet and sour pork ribs. It is absolutely unique, much better than frosting!
Apart from anything else, just seeing that he is in Chang'an Restaurant now, this dish is so popular that it needs to be supplied in limited quantities! In order to have a bite, many people sent servants to wait at the door of the restaurant early in the morning.
For some reason, Datang's icing sugar is very expensive, and its purity is not high at all. It always tastes bitter when you eat it.
Xiao Han was bored some time ago and accidentally remembered how to make local rock sugar, so he sent someone to Chang'an to buy a bunch of icing sugar. He came back and filtered and purified it for a long time, then added alum water to boil it, and finally crystallized it with cotton thread.
Got some rock candy.
The process of making local rock sugar is not difficult, but the difficulty is to control the temperature.
The temperature of the syrup needs to be lowered from 90 degrees to 10 degrees a day for seven consecutive days.
So for these rock candies, I don’t know how much icing was wasted.
Fortunately, Xiao Han is not short of money. As long as there is a result, the process is not important. Now, just the money earned from a dish of sweet and sour pork ribs at Chang'an Restaurant, he has made back all the rock candy money with interest.
