Princess Changle looked at Su Chen and asked in confusion: "Su Chen, you...?"
"I don't know either! As soon as that kid saw me, he wanted to worship me as his master. I was also wondering!"
"What can I teach him? Teach him to cook?"
Su Chen instinctively thought that he didn't know anything, but only knew some dishes from later generations.
Aguli didn't care what others thought, and looked at Li You beside him:
"My name is Pati Aguli. We look about the same age. I'm twelve years old this year. What about you?" Zhao Yun introduced Li You in a familiar way.
"Hey, what a coincidence! I'm also twelve years old, my name is Li You!" Li You was not shy and responded to Zhao Yun openly.
"Li You, OK! Just call me Aguli, we will be good friends in the future!"
"OK, no problem! By the way, what do you do in the Western Regions? Do you herd sheep and raise cattle?" Li You didn't know much about the Western Regions, but he knew there were many cattle and sheep.
"Uh~ No, I have nothing to do in the Western Regions!" Aguli was speechless. How could he be a prince and raise sheep and cattle?
"What about you? What do you usually do in the Tang Dynasty?"
"As for me, listen carefully! I raise pigs in the Tang Dynasty. I tell you..."
Li Shimin, who was at the main table, couldn't listen any more. Li You felt that raising pigs was a noble thing, but the emperor couldn't hold his face!
"Su Chen, order someone to serve the meal!" Li Shimin hurriedly stopped Li You from continuing.
Maybe Li You will teach the pig-raising experience in the hall. What will happen?
"Okay, Your Majesty!"
Someone has already done it without Su Chen saying anything.
"Li You, tell me about raising pigs..." Aguli became very interested in what Li You said about raising pigs, although he didn't know what pigs were.
But Aguli guessed that Li You must also be a prince.
"Well~ We'll talk about this later when we have a chance. Let's eat hot pot first. I tell you, this hot pot was created by my brother-in-law. Even gods can't stand it if they smell it!" Li You didn't continue to discuss pig farming with Aguli.
"Your brother-in-law? Who is your brother-in-law?" Aguli asked curiously.
"Didn't you just call my brother-in-law Master?" Li You pouted at Su Chen.
Aguli's brother and sister looked at Su Chen and Princess Changle who was sitting next to Su Chen, and they understood instantly.
It turned out that this marquis was the consort of the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty!
All this made sense.
However, Alia felt that even if Su Chen was a consort, his status should not be so noble.
"Master Immortal is amazing!" Aguli said in surprise.
Su Chen smiled faintly and no longer cared about Aguli's address to him.
"Alia, this is my sister-in-law, the Crown Princess." Princess Changle remembered that she had never introduced the people at the same table to Alia.
"Alia, meet the Crown Princess!" Alia immediately stood up and saluted, patting Aguli's arm at the same time.
"Aguli, meet the Crown Princess!"
Su Yan stood up and smiled in return, "Alia, you have come from afar and you are guests, so you don't need to be polite. You can call me Su Yan from now on!"
"If it's okay, Alia can call Crown Princess Su Yan sister from now on, okay?" Alia felt that Su Yan was one or two years older than her, and it would definitely be impolite to call her by her name.
"Of course, Alia, let's just sit down and talk, don't be too polite!" Su Yan smiled gracefully and invited Alia to take a seat.
"Okay, sister Su Yan!"
Princess Changle continued to introduce, and smiled meaningfully: "Alia, the one next to you is my third brother, you already know him!"
Alia smiled and nodded, looking at Li Ke next to her, "Yes, the third prince Li Ke, we have met in the morning court!"
"Well, that's good. Li You is my fifth brother." Princess Changle finally briefly introduced Li You.
Alia nodded to Li You.
"By the way, Alia, how old are you this year? My third brother is seventeen." As a girl, there is no taboo, Princess Changle asked directly.
Su Chen's mouth twitched when he heard it, the purpose was so obvious.
Princess Changle was more direct than himself! This is to match the birth date of the two!
Hearing Princess Changle mention his name, Li Ke looked up at Su Chen with a complaining look on his face.
"I... just turned sixteen this year." Alia replied in a low voice.
"Hehe, that's perfect!" Princess Changle said inexplicably.
In the hall, everyone became a supporting role, quietly listening to Princess Changle and the others' conversation. Empress Changsun, Concubine Yang and others whispered to each other, discussing the Princess of the Western Regions and Li Ke.
Soon, a group of palace maids and eunuchs, led by Li Junxian and Wang Defa, lined up in a long line and placed all the ingredients on the table next to the round table.
The charcoal hot pot was brought to the table, and the eunuchs followed closely to add broth into the pot.
Aguli looked at the big copper pot curiously. The aroma of the hot pot base was very charming, "Li You, how do you eat this? This pot of soupWhat a nice smell!"
The whole hall was filled with the aroma of hot pot base, and many ministers smelled it for the first time.
"Hehe, you'll know in a minute, this is called hot pot!"
"Hot pot?" Aguli stood up and took a look, "I don't see any fire in the pot!"
"See that protrusion? There is charcoal burning in it."
"That's what's going on, Master is really amazing!" Aguli looked at Su Chen and praised again.
Su Chen smiled faintly and raised his voice slightly: "Put the beef balls in the pot, and then serve the hot dishes first! "
This time, Su Chen didn't need to do it herself. Each table had a palace maid wearing a mask to serve the ingredients.
Master Liu from the manor had trained them in advance.
Old Wang walked up to Li Shimin and took out a silver needle to test the dishes and hot pot for poison. Li Junxian had been watching from the imperial kitchen, but he still had to test the poison in front of the emperor.
If Su Chen knew that Old Wang used a silver needle to test poison, he would definitely sneer.
Silver needles cannot detect other toxic ingredients. They will only turn black when they encounter arsenic.
Li Shimin signaled Old Wang to Su Chen That table was testing poison.
Old Wang really went to Su Chen to test poison, put the silver needle into the soup pot, picked up the silver needle and looked at it carefully.
After a while, the silver needle did not change color, and then inserted the silver needle into the first hot dish, boiled beef.
The silver needle test reaction was normal, and he nodded to Li Shimin.
After watching Wang Defa's series of operations, Su Chen saw that he was testing poison, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth without saying anything more.
Even if he told them that the silver needle test was useless, he couldn't come up with a method to test poison.
It was the same as saying nothing.
"Everyone, don't be polite, pick up your chopsticks!" Li Shimin announced loudly when he saw that the delicious dishes were already on the table.
Although the dishes were on the table, who dared to move without the emperor's words?
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone thanked him in unison!
"Well, delicious, delicious! Li You, this is beef, right?" Aguli put a mouthful of boiled beef into his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it after a little taste.
"That's right! Let me tell you, this dish is called boiled beef, and it is fresh yak meat from the Western Regions! "Li You suddenly remembered that this yak was sent by Aguli and his men!
"Uh~ I forgot, this yak was sent by you." Li You swallowed a mouthful of beef and smiled awkwardly.
"Oh, I didn't expect that my yak from the Western Regions could come to the Tang Dynasty and make such a delicious dish!"
"This yak has lived a good life!" Aguli didn't care at all, but was proud of the yak from the Western Regions.
"Well, I think so too!" Li You agreed with what Aguli said, just like the pigs he raised, they died for a good reason!
In the hall, only Li You and Aguli were heard talking, and everyone else was enjoying the food.
"King Shu, don't just eat by yourself! Introduce these Tang Dynasty delicacies to the guests who came from afar. "Su Chen saw that the beef balls were cooked through, and gave Li Ke a command with a hint of meaning.
Even though Li Ke knew that Su Chen had bad intentions, he couldn't refuse, otherwise he would lose his manners and hospitality.
"This beef ball tastes great, try it and see if it tastes good!" Li Ke used a colander to help Alia pick up a beef ball very gentlemanly.
"Thank you!" Alia slightly raised the seasoning bowl to catch the beef ball.
"This beef ball is also made from yaks from the Western Regions, and Su Chen created the way to eat it."
Li Ke really listened to Su Chen's words and introduced it to Alia carefully.
"Well, it tastes great! Although yaks are unique to the Western Regions, we have never tasted such exquisite delicacies." Alia said so.
In the Western Regions, they only have one way to eat it, stewing with large pieces of salt, and then adding a slightly spicy wild vegetable flower unique to the Western Regions, mashing it into crumbs and dipping it in it.
"Aguli, try this bacon! "Li You began to show off his pig-raising achievements to Aguli.
"Let me try!" Aguli picked up the meat from the plate pointed by Li You.
"Hmm, it smells good, very good!"
Aguli only said "smell good!"
"Try the bacon too, it has a unique taste!" Li Ke changed his usual cold temper and gently passed the bacon to Alia.
Li Shimin was also generous today and took out all the bacon to entertain everyone.
"Okay, thank you!" Alia picked up a small piece of bacon and put it into her mouth to taste slowly.
"The bacon is salty and fragrant, and the taste is excellent. It doesn't look like it's made of beef." Alia looked at Li Ke with a questioning look in her eyes.
Li Ke smiled and said, "Bacon is marinated with pork, and the longer it is stored, the stronger the aroma will be."
Su Chen and Princess Changle, who were sitting opposite, lowered their heads and whispered to each other.
In a voice that others couldn't hear, she whispered, "I said they had a chance! "
Princess Changle lowered her head and hummed softly:
"Hmm!"
