"Go and prepare food for me. The more the better!"
Tao Xiaowu didn't even look at these people, he just gave one sentence.
The Su family has been rich and noble for generations, and they are not feudal lords of this generation. These servants are very well-behaved.
Although Tao Xiaowu's order was strange, these servants did not dare to ask any more questions and immediately agreed.
Another maid came over, ready to wash and change Tao Xiaowu's clothes.
However, immortals are pure, so-called ice muscles and jade bones, they are naturally cool and sweatless, so where does the dirt come from?
Even after decades, my body has always been clean and free of dust.
Tao Xiaowu waved his hand, indicating to the servants that they don't need to go to so much trouble.
The servant girls had no choice but to clean up the room and replace the incense burner and other items.
After a while, the big cauldron was carried up and placed in front of Tao Xiaowu.
Add firewood below, put hot water on top, add spices, and various large meats begin to stew.
In addition, various chimes and silk and bamboo instruments began to be played.
This is what the so-called bells and cauldrons eat!
And this so-called Dingshi looks more like hot pot to Tao Xiaowu...
Of course, it is a more stylish hot pot.
Is it just the taste? In fact, it's just so-so.
The main reason is that there is a lack of spices. It is almost boiled in plain water and then eaten with condiments.
However, the ingredients are extremely fresh and rare, which is far superior.
There are mostly game animals, such as hares, pheasants, etc., which are the most common things.
And muntjac deer, wild ducks, geese, wild boars, etc. are also common.
The only animals that can be praised are ferocious tigers, bears, and other wild beasts.
Anyway, in this era, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the wild animal resources are abundant.
This is exactly what Tao Xiaowu likes!!
How sharp are Tao Xiaowu’s senses today?
Complex spices tend to obscure the original flavor of food.
The rich food sources can also more comprehensively supplement the various trace substances Tao Xiaowu needs.
The people in the Hou Mansion were very honest, Tao Xiaowu said, the more, the better.
These people didn't even ask, and sure enough, the food they prepared was whole heads, whole heads.
There's a big cauldron here for cooking, and there's a cook and a barbecue over there.
More than ten cows, sheep, fish, etc., all lined up for barbecue, the scene is quite spectacular.
Most people didn't know this, so they thought Tao Xiaowu was holding a banquet to feed a large group of people!
Unexpectedly, all of these ended up in Tao Xiaowu’s belly!
No matter how well-trained the servants of Wanyang Marquis Mansion are, they will not be surprised by anything.
However, when they saw cows, sheep, elk, camels, etc. being cut off by the cooks, sent to Tao Xiaowu, and quickly eliminated by Tao Xiaowu, everyone was stunned with shock!
This incident quickly alerted even Marquis Wanyang, who originally thought Tao Xiaowu was going to hold a banquet to entertain guests.
It is quite normal for nobles to hold banquets and the like.
Even today, Emperor Yusu advocates frugality and simplicity, but there are still many such things.
I didn’t even take it to heart!
But then I heard that Tao Xiaowu had eaten so much food alone, and I couldn’t calm down...
Not that it hurts!
But just surprise and panic!
When I hurried over to take a look, I saw a dozen or so cooks in a continuous flow, preparing various foods and delivering them to Tao Xiaowu's dining table.
And even so, some of them are not as fast as Tao Xiaowu's eating speed.
All kinds of food were stuffed into Tao Xiaowu's mouth, as if stuffed into a grinder, and disappeared almost immediately.
And Tao Xiaowu ate so much that his belly was not bulging at all.
Even so, Tao Xiaowu's eating movements are not rude, and can even be called elegant.
Seeing Wanyang Hou Su He come in, he greeted Su He, "The Lord is here!"
Wanyang Hou Suhe asked, "Sir, what's going on? Why are you eating so much at once, but are you exercising?"
It's not just the body training of immortals, but also the secret skills of military strategists. When you practice to a certain stage, your food intake will increase dramatically.
But no matter what, the sudden increase to Tao Xiaowu's level is still scary.
Tao Xiaowu smiled and said, "I have been practicing recently, so I need to eat more."
Wanyang Hou Suhe was slightly startled, but he just said it casually and did not expect that Tao Xiaowu was really practicing.
After reaching the level of Tao Xiaowu, is there still a need for physical training?
But then again, thinking of the madness technique taught by Tao Xiaowu, Wanyang Hou Suhe suddenly understood.
"Sir, haven't you ever thought about taking pills?"
"Take the elixir?"
Tao Xiaowu was slightly shocked.
"Yes, take elixirs. As far as I know, for those who practice physical training, eating alone is too time-consuming and energy-consuming.
Therefore, it is usually solved by elixirs. Under the Young Master in the palace, there are specialized alchemists who refine elixirs..."
Before he finished speaking, Tao Xiaowu almost slapped his forehead.
That’s right!
Are you stupid?
How could you forget about pills?
But in fact, Tao Xiaowu cannot be blamed. It is actually the art of external elixirs, which is mysterious and unpredictable. In later generations, countless emperors and even dignitaries died after taking elixirs.
As a result, the Waidan was completely stigmatized, almost completely extinct, and was not passed down.
Even Tao Xiaowu didn't know much about Waidan, so it's no wonder he forgot about it!
Even Tao Xiaowu never saw an alchemy master even in various dungeons of time and space.
I never thought that there would be a master of alchemy in this time and space of Lord Yu!
But think about it, in this world, there are not only immortals from outside the world who have traveled through time, but also indigenous Qi-training immortals and Fangxian Taoists from this world.
This is no wonder!
"It seems that the master of alchemy mentioned by Marquis Wanyang should be Taoist Fang Xian who took refuge in the imperial court!"
…
After Yu Su reestablished the Yu New Dynasty, he also rebuilt the Shaofu institution specifically for royal management.
According to the ancient system of China, the fields were cultivated by the people, but the mountains and rivers were owned by the national army.
Since ancient times, even to the Middle Ages, and even to the early days of the Yu Dynasty.
They all have a dedicated organization to manage the output of the world's mountains and rivers for the king.
Ordinary people are not allowed to collect firewood, fish, and hunt as they please, otherwise they will infringe upon the property of the monarch.
However, in later generations, the population increased, and it was difficult to feed so many people with land alone.
It is absolutely inevitable to go into the mountains and rivers to fish and hunt. This matter of the monarch monopolizing the mountains and rivers has become a situation.
Later, the monarch simply abandoned the name and directly opened the mountains and rivers to fishing and hunting.
However, the monarch still has huge mountain and river industries, such as Shanglin Garden in the original Han Dynasty.
You must know that Shanglinyuan spans five districts and counties of Chang'an, Huyi District, Xianyang, Zhouzhi and Lantian.
It is a huge garden with a length of 340 square kilometers, with Wei, Jing, Feng, Lao, Jian, Pou, Chan and Ba rivers flowing in and out.
