Cheng Chubi continued to use the big knife to slice the thin fish fillets with ease.
Even in later generations, cutting this thing can only be done by hand, and machines cannot cut it so thin.
When Li Shimin's family of three sat in the Yaoguang Hall, they looked at the ultra-thin fish fillets like butterflies in the lacquer plate with exaggerated expressions.
"How can you cut this fish so thin?"
"My father-in-law, the only person who can cut it so thin is my skill with my hands..." Cheng Chubi couldn't help but proudly plagiarized the classic words of a certain handed down article in advance.
Well, let's write a short fable later that is similar to "The Oil Seller" and call it "The Fish Seller"... Bah! Why is it so ugly? Well, why not call it "The Pretty Fish Seller"?
Cheng Chubi was thinking hard about the title of his article that had been passed down through the ages.
Li Mingda was the first to use chopsticks and carefully peeled off a translucent white and slightly pink butterfly from the inside of the plate.
Then, under Wu Meiniang's gentle reminder, she put it inside the special wick and ironed it, and saw that the butterfly became curled in an instant.
"Okay, Your Highness, hurry up, it only takes three seconds..."
After Li Mingda took it out, he dipped it in the special dipping sauce under the watchful eyes of his parents, and then put the white, curled and trembling fish fillet into his mouth.
The meat is smooth and tender, and combined with the spicy dipping sauce, the fish meat is smooth and chewy, and the spicy flavor brings out the essential freshness and sweetness of the fish.
"Wow...it's delicious, daddy, mommy, try it quickly..."
Seeing Li Mingda's appearance and the fact that she couldn't wait to use the second chopsticks, since there were no outsiders, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun also picked up the chopsticks unceremoniously...
#####
After taking a nap, I looked at the mountain of plates with a satisfied expression.
I couldn't help but wonder how much I had eaten. It was just an empty plate, maybe eighty or ninety if not a hundred.
Li Mingda also had a red face after eating, and looked at her husband with satisfaction. At first, he just thought that Brother Cheng San was very powerful.
Later I found out that he was not only talented in literature and martial arts, but also had outstanding top-notch cooking skills.
This was more tempting than anything else. Li Mingda couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled.
"My dear son-in-law, you are really capable. You can make the fish fillets as thin as cicada wings, yet you can afford to eat them and still have them so smooth and chewy. It's really amazing."
Empress Changsun slowly rubbed her lower abdomen with one hand while sipping the tea soup. She also accidentally ate too much, but she really didn't expect that the shabu-shabu fillets would be so fresh and delicious.
"My mother-in-law was so impressed. In fact, one of them is a knife expert, and the other is a good fisher. This kind of fish is very fresh and not polluted. I'm afraid it's not easy to get it outside."
"After all, Luoyang is densely populated, and there are people and livestock after all. Fish with polluted water quality will definitely taste worse than this."
"Haha, that's not easy. There are a lot of fish in Jiuzhou Pond. Didn't my wise husband just say that black fish has the best meat?"
"When I go back to my husband, I will buy more black fish fry. Anyway, the fish raised in such a big Jiuzhou Pond are not enough for us to eat?"
"That's great. If I want to eat shabu-shabu slices from now on, I'll come look for daddy, okay?"
"That's natural."
"My dear son-in-law... your hot-boiled fish is really good. I have eaten quite a lot today."
Li Shimin looked at Cheng Sanlang in front of him with a smile. When he had enough to eat and drink, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty would become very kind and virtuous.
"By the way, do you know why I let you serve as the prince of the East Palace and the order of Luoyang?"
"I don't know, and my nephew is just trying to discuss it with his father-in-law. After all, the prince is far away in Chang'an, and my nephew has to be a government official..."
"Don't worry, I'm not making it difficult for you to be a good son-in-law by entrusting these two important responsibilities to you. I will make arrangements with the prince."
"In fact, the most important of these two positions is not the prince's horse washing, but the Luoyang County magistrate."
When Li Shimin said this, he couldn't help but sigh. "You must have experienced it yourself, right?"
Facing the question from the Emperor of Tang Dynasty, Cheng Chubi also nodded solemnly.
"What my father-in-law said is absolutely true. Before my son-in-law left Luoyang, the renovation of the shanty town in the south of the city and the construction of a bridge in the Luoshui River were all ready."
"I thought it would be a breeze at first, but I didn't expect that my son-in-law had been away for many years and returned to Luoyang, almost the same as before..."
Cheng Chubi couldn't help but feel a bit toothache. He also inquired with a group of shareholders and communicated with the shopkeepers in Hantang Trading Company.
It's not that they didn't work hard, it's that Cui Luoyang, the shabby guy, is too heartbroken.
Maybe he felt that because he was involved in a serious case, he had no hope of promotion in this life, and he had already begun to think about leaving.
Therefore, slacking off in government has become his most classic operation in more than a year.
And they are still trying to create all kinds of evil things below. In a word, all kinds of construction work that the Han and Tang Dynasty Commercial Banks want to do will definitely not be able to get away from Cui Shen, who is in charge of Luoyang's civil affairs.
"It just so happens that many ministers and ministers in the court have already known my thoughts and intend to move the capital here."
"Haha... I have been sharpening my knives one by one. I have been coveting the position of Luoyang Ling for a long time."
"This really makes me a little bit jealous..."
Li Shimin's words made Cheng Chubi deeply agree. Yes, my father-in-law couldn't stand Cui Shen being slack and derelict in his position as Luoyang Order, but if he was kicked away.
Inevitably, a new Luoyang Order needs to be elected, but many factions in the court have already made preparations.
They will definitely launch their own spokespersons with ulterior motives.
When those people come to the position of Luoyang Order, will they follow His Majesty's will and go deep into the work of relocating the capital? Or will they work against the will and obstruct the relocation of the capital?
No one can say for sure, and Li Shimin has not considered sending loyal ministers to serve.
"...But the problem is that the pressure in this position is so great that no one can resist it."
Having said this, Li Shimin couldn't help but glance at the wise son-in-law Cheng Sanlang in front of him.
Looking at his tall and tall figure, his handsome face with clear outlines and resoluteness.
Not every loyal minister who can resolutely implement his will can have the Cheng family's thick skin and superb ability to withstand pressure.
You need to be capable, courageous and good at solving problems, and the most important thing is to be able to withstand pressure.
Just like the virtuous son-in-law in front of him who lives on the plateau and in the central and southern part of Jiannan Road, his reputation is as bad as that of a child. Haha... When did the Cheng family ever fear pressure?
It can be said that with the notoriety of the Cheng family and his son in the court, others can't avoid it. Who the hell dares to take the initiative to provoke them?
Therefore, Cheng Sanlang is definitely the most perfect candidate to serve as the Luoyang Order.
