Chapter 856 You mean, this humble wooden box can be used to blow air? (Please subscribe)
Brothers Li Ke and Li Chengqian looked at each other, their faces turned red from suppressing their emotions, and they wished they could run out together and come back after laughing enough.
Fang Xuanling and Ma Zhou looked at Cheng Sanlang, who was serious and talking nonsense, with dark faces.
You are talking about love and doing such inappropriate things. Can you please pay attention to the occasion?
Unexpectedly, the faces of the eunuchs standing next to him were already so red that they were almost bleeding.
Besides, that's a pig, an animal, not a person with two or three legs.
"Well, brother Chu Bi, neither the Ma Qing family nor the Fang Qing family believe that this castration doesn't smell fishy. Look..."
"Otherwise, if you don't give up, I would like to invite you to our old Cheng's house for a whole pig feast..."
"No, no, no!" Fang Xuanling's expression suddenly changed. I've already been fooled once, how could I be fooled a second time?
The family banquet of the Cheng family that went straight in and lay down, and the Cheng family's secret Sanle syrup that felt like drinking iced straw mat sock washing water.
More than a year has passed now, but Fang Xuanling is still frightened when he recalls it.
"What I mean is that there is no need to disturb your residence..."
Ma Zhou had never been to the old Cheng's house for a family dinner, but he had heard about the infamous Cheng family dinner.
However, if you don't try it yourself, you will eventually feel that it is not safe enough.
"But if this policy is promoted all over the world, it will be difficult to solve if there are problems."
Li Shimin stroked his long beard and glanced at these two close confidants. He couldn't help but hesitate a little. He couldn't persuade these two to go to Lao Cheng's house and throw themselves into a trap.
And I was not very happy to go. After all, if I went, I might end up better, but not much better. After all, that was Cheng Yaojin's shameless home court.
Cheng Chubi saw that the three big guys were hesitant, rolled his eyes, and glanced at Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian looked at Brother Chu Bi with a confused expression, not quite understanding, until Cheng Chubi pointed in the direction of Dian Shan.
He made another sign of cutting his throat, pointed here, and made a gesture of eating. Li Chengqian finally came to his senses.
"Father, I do have an idea. Brother Chu Bi has always been good at cooking."
"Before, when the children were recuperating in Lishan, all the meals were prepared by Brother Chu Bi himself, who taught the chef how to prepare meals."
"Today, the pigs drawn in the East Palace are getting fat, and Brother Chu Bi is here. We happen to have some free time, so why not let Brother Chu Bi show off his talents in the East Palace."
"It can not only allow us to taste the delicious food, but also solve the doubts between the two of you..."
Li Shimin couldn't help but his eyes lit up, he nodded approvingly towards his son and smiled.
"Cheng Qian's idea is wonderful. You two Qings, let's do it this way. Nephew Chu Bi, do you have any problem?"
Cheng Chubi smiled confidently and stood up.
"Haha... Don't worry, uncle. If it were somewhere else, my nephew might not dare to say anything. If it's in the East Palace, there won't be any problems."
"I have modified the pots and stoves here, which are most suitable for cooking delicious dishes."
Li Shimin suddenly remembered the method of making salt, which was invented by this boy just for his surgery.
Could it be that he also made improvements to the pot stove? Li Shimin couldn't help but raise his voice and asked.
"Renovation...why, could it be that the pots and stoves in other places are not to your liking?"
"That's natural. Ordinary stove structures really waste fuel and are not very thermally efficient.
In addition, the pots we usually use are too thick, which is not conducive to adding food and cooking, and is more suitable for stewing..."
After explaining, Cheng Chubi left first and asked Ning Zhong to rush to the gate of the East Palace to call in his three assistants, Cheng Ji, Cheng Li and Deng Chengxin.
When Cheng Chubi left, Li Shimin glanced at Ma Zhou and Fang Xuanling.
"You two gentlemen, would you like to come with me to see the cooking stove that Cheng Sanlang has renovated?"
"Since Your Majesty is interested, I will accompany you."
Although Fang Xuanling and Ma Zhou didn't think there was anything interesting about those Guozao gadgets, since His Majesty was interested, it wouldn't be a bad idea to accompany them for a walk.
Seeing the disapproval of the two people, Li Shimin laughed and said it meaningfully.
"You two may not know yet, but the method of making salt that Cheng Sanlang originally proposed was exactly the salt water he needed for surgery."
"That boy has always been like this. You don't know if he will treat the good things that people in the world regard as treasures as ordinary things.
Maybe we can make some discoveries during this trip."
Hearing these words, Ma Zhou immediately saluted Li Shimin with a solemn expression.
"I see, I really need to take a closer look."
When they arrived at Dian Shan Kitchen, they faintly heard the screams and howls of fat pigs coming from a distance.
However, that could not compare with the interest brought to them by the strange stove in front of them.
This stove has only one burner, and its shape is higher than the popular stoves in the Tang Dynasty. There is also a tall chimney at the back, which is particularly eye-catching.
In addition, there is a rectangular wooden box-like thing next to the stove, with a handle on it.
On the other side of the stove, there is also a strange thing that looks very round and concave downwards, and has a handle on the edge.
Li Shimin was stunned for a long time, but he could recognize everything except the stove.
But there were a lot of things that he didn't understand, so he couldn't help but pointed at the long wooden box placed below and asked.
"This is the stove that Cheng Sanlang renovated. What is it?"
Eunuch Mo, the steward of Dianshan's kitchen, answered cautiously.
"This is the bellows sent by Cheng Taichang, because Cheng Taichang always thought that the firepower was not strong enough when cooking, so I got this thing later."
Ma Zhou stared at this thing blankly. He came from a poor family.
I have used fire sticks, and I have seen people blow fire with leather bags, but I have never seen anyone use wood to blow fire.
Even Li Shimin, who had been in the military for a long time, attached great importance to the military construction of the Tang Dynasty.
His Majesty the Emperor, who had inspected the copper and iron smelting in the Tang Dynasty many times, also took a breath as if he had a toothache and kicked the wooden box with his foot in disgust.
"Bellows, you mean, this humble wooden box can be used to blow air?"
Hearing His Majesty's disgusted voice, the steward, Eunuch Mo, although he did not dare to bully others like Cheng Sanlang, could not help but murmured a few words of defense.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the force of this thing's blowing wind is much stronger than that of a fire stick, and it can blow wind regardless of pushing or pulling..."
Li Ke also came up to him with some surprise and looked at it carefully.
"I have indeed seen this thing in Brother Chu Bi's house. I just thought it was a useless thing. I didn't expect it to be a wind blower."
