Li Siye remained calm on the surface, but he was actually pleasantly surprised. Even a fool could guess who Gao Lishi's Alang was. He really didn't expect that he would meet the top leader of Datang Group so quickly, so today's application
It was a worthwhile trip.
Gao Lishi twitched his nose and smelled the sour smell on his body. He flapped his palms and said, "Why are you so sweaty? Go to the perfume shop here in Chengyun Building and take a shower."
He pointed at the two Senniu warriors and said, "Take him to clean himself and bring him some clothes."
Chengyun Pavilion is the most luxurious building in Xinghuafang. It was built by Li Longji's brother Li Xian to entertain musicians from the Western Regions. As we all know, King Ning was an obsessed music fan and had a high regard for Western Hu music.
Because of his great attainments, he gave special courtesy to the Hu people who were proficient in music, entertaining them with food and wine, and letting the guests live in luxurious rooms. Therefore, when Chang'an entered the night, the misty sound of musical instruments could always be heard in Xinghuafang.
.
Li Siye was brought into the perfume shop. Two Qianniu were waiting outside the door. He raised his head and looked at the style of the room. There was a green caisson above his head, bright yellow gauze hanging around it, and a large wooden barrel in the center.
Fragrant steam lingers above.
Snapped,
The two wooden doors of the room were closed behind him, and two maids with double buns walked out from the inner hall. They were wearing chest-length skirts and willow green narrow-sleeved shirts. Their faces were smeared with red rouge, and their mouths were smeared with red rouge.
There are crimson lips. The crimson lips are located in the center of the small mouth, as if to make the mouth smaller.
Two maids came up and tried to untie Li Siye's clothes. He was so frightened that he quickly retreated to the door and said, "What are you doing? Don't come over."
The maids raised their hands to cover their lips with a puff, bowed their knees and bowed, saying: "Guest, there is no need to panic, we are here to help you bathe and change clothes."
Li Siye was afraid of being tricked, so he quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no need, you can go out first, okay?"
The two maids looked at each other, then raised their noses and snorted angrily: "You ungrateful guy, my aunts will not serve you anymore."
"let's go."
They left the room with casual thoughts, and Li Siye began to take off his clothes. He looked down at the Gebu robe and saw that it was already riddled with holes, with countless patches piled on it.
He walked up the wooden steps to the wooden barrel. Unknown petals and spices were sprinkled on the water. He thought this was too luxurious, but he slowly slid into the water. The water temperature was just right, soothing his soreness.
The sleepy skin and those pores that discharge sweat suddenly seemed very comfortable.
Another person walked in, but this time it was a man, who looked very old with a hunched back. He walked up the steps and approached the bucket. He used a thick towel made of wool, dipped in bath salt, to scrub Li Siye's back, and spoke Guanzhong dialect again and again.
Chat with him.
"Where is the guest from?"
"A person from Jingzhao Mansion."
"Oh, we are still fellow villagers, and I am also from Jingzhao. I have been here in Chengyun Tower for more than ten years, and I have never served one of my own. I have only been a slave to these barbarians."
Li Siye did not dare to answer the conversation, for fear that some mistakes in his words would be overheard. Bosses in later generations would usually set such traps during recruitment. Who dares to say that the Tang Dynasty people would not use this strategy.
The old servant scrubbed Li Siye's body. He stepped out of the tub, wiped his body with a long towel, and then put on the crotch-less robe brought by Qianniu's bodyguards.
He helped him tidy up his clothes, tied his headband with a black gauze scarf, tugged it around his dark blue robe here, and smoothed it there with his hands, as if to make his whole body wrinkle-free.
An urging voice came from outside the door: "Are you ready? We can't wait over there."
The old servant replied slowly: "Okay, I can really urge you."
Li Siye opened the door and walked out of the perfume shop. Two Qianniu guards took the initiative to lead him to Chengyun Tower.
Luo Xingchang was still kneeling on the ground in front of the building. Although no one was stepping on him anymore, he did not have the courage or strength to get up again.
Li Siye's eyes automatically ignored him. After today, this man will be thrown into the dust with no chance to stand up again.
Standing at the door, he took a deep breath and murmured in a low voice: "Don't be nervous, he is actually the chairman."
He thought he would see the emperor when he entered the door, but standing in the hall were Gao Lishi and another eunuch. Gao Lishi nodded approvingly and said, "This will make you look energetic."
Gao Lishi pointed to the eunuch beside him and said, "This is the housekeeper of Chengyun Tower. What equipment do you need for drying skin? Just ask him. How long will it take?"
Li Siye said firmly: "Half an hour is enough."
"Then do it quickly."
The housekeeper led him to the kitchen of Chengyun Building. It was more like a hall than a kitchen. There were various utensils in it, made of gold, silver, copper and iron. Five or six people were standing next to him.
A handy cook.
The butler put his hands behind his back and said, "These are all here to learn skills from you. You have to teach them. Let's see again, are these utensils still useful enough?"
"It's almost enough. You also need a flat-bottomed iron plate. The main ingredient is flour, and the ingredients include peppercorns, star anise, onions, garlic, and sesame oil."
The housekeeper was much stricter with these cooks. He shouted in a deep voice: "Have you heard that? Why don't you hurry up and get ready?"
Li Siye took the basin from a cook and had to lament the corruption of the ruling class. Even the outer edge of the celadon basin was inlaid with gold-plated patterns.
He sifted the flour into the basin through a fine sieve. The color of the flour was slightly dark, but it was pure green food without additives. He kneaded the flour into dough first, then poured in water and kneaded it gently.
Six people gathered around him and stared at him without blinking, for fear of missing some detail.
Li Siye felt a little proud in his heart. He actually didn't want these people to learn his craft. Shali Micha didn't even learn from them after they helped him so much.
But these people must be the emperor's royal chefs, and of course he can't hide it.
After the kneaded flour water has settled, filter out the water, then pour it into a flat plate and steam it in a pot. The yellow and sticky mass left after kneading is gluten, and put it in a bowl and steam it in the pot.
After steaming, it needs to be taken out to dry. In order to speed up this process, two cooks are specially waving fans.
Gao Lishi came down from upstairs and urged him twice, and Li Siye speeded up. The imperial chefs who knew the basic operations also knew the next step, and began to actively pound the garlic and cut it, and soon a cold skin dinner was cooked.
Gao Lishi personally carried the plate upstairs.
Li Longji was upstairs talking about the chess game with his brother, King Ning, when his stomach growled unconsciously. King Ning dropped the white piece, raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, I'll ask someone to get you some snacks."
He pinched Heizi and waved his hand: "Don't worry, I'm waiting for a delicious dish. If you eat something, you won't be able to enjoy the advantages of this delicious food."
