Chapter 416
At noon, the sun was about to hang in the center of the head.
Three large round tables have been set up in the backyard of Changsun Mansion. Since the backyard is blocked by a wall, there is no need to set up a screen.
Two cowhides cut in half have been hung in the backyard.
Changsun Wuji knows Su Chen. He likes to sit outside when he eats barbecue, watching and enjoying the food.
Su Chen instructed the butcher to remove the upper tenderloin from the waist of the beef, which still requires a little skill and knife skills.
If you are not careful, you will cut the brisket, which is not suitable for making beef skewers.
Then, Su Chen told the waiter to cut the beef into suitable sizes for skewers. With enough manpower, more than a hundred skewers of beef were skewered in less than half an hour.
Each skewer of beef is fat and lean, and no oil is needed when grilling.
And the beef skewers are large in quantity, which is very affordable!
In addition to beef, there are also lamb skewers and grilled fish. Lao Wang brought some large Zhenguan beans from the palace and sliced them into skewers.
There were no more leeks, cucumbers, and eggplants.
Changsun Wuji arranged some other dishes, such as boiled fish.
Half an hour later,
Su Chen looked at the time, it was one quarter past noon.
"Master Cheng, Master Liu, you can light the fire and burn charcoal!" Su Chen clapped his hands and told Master Cheng and the others.
"Okay, Lord!"
Master Cheng skillfully lit the fire and burned charcoal.
"Brother-in-law, shall I invite my father and the others to come?" Li Chengqian suggested when he saw that the preparations were ready.
"Well, go!" Su Chen nodded.
Not long after, Li Shimin and others came to the backyard one after another.
Empress Changsun and the other seven women sat at one table.
Li Shimin and the others had twelve people, plus Changsun Wuji's three brothers, fifteen people were divided into two tables.
Changsun Wuji also had a half-brother named Changsun Wuye. However, this person had bad conduct and was not doing his job properly, so he was not liked by Changsun Wuji.
After everyone arrived at the backyard, they greeted Su Chen, who was standing next to the barbecue. They ordered him to grill the meat carefully and not let the cows of Changsun Mansion die in vain.
Su Chen dealt with it casually. He was busy observing Master Cheng and the others grilling beef!
"Master Cheng, you only need salt to grill beef skewers. Just sprinkle a little cumin when they are grilled and out of the oven." Su Chen reminded as he looked at the sizzling beef skewers on the grill.
The beef is not marinated before being skewered. The emphasis is on keeping the original flavor as much as possible.
Soon, the backyard was filled with the aroma of grilled meat. Master Cheng sprinkled some cumin evenly on the grilled beef skewers.
Li Shimin and others greedily took a few mouthfuls, and their eyes never left the grill.
It seemed as if they were afraid that Su Chen would steal some.
The first batch of beef skewers was about to come out of the oven.
"High-end ingredients often only require simple cooking methods. After an hour of hard work, Master Cheng's beef skewers are finally out of the oven."
Su Chen held a tray full of freshly grilled beef skewers and muttered to himself.
Under Li Shimin's salivating eyes, Su Chen held the beef skewers and walked straight to Empress Changsun's table.
"Mother, the beef skewers are here, try them!"
Su Chen placed the beef skewers between Empress Changsun and Princess Changle's seats.
"Well, Su Chen, you should also take a seat!" Empress Changsun smiled slightly, picked up a beef skewer and handed it to Su Chen, as if she was sending a child away.
"Okay!"
Su Chen took the beef skewer without hesitation and put it in his mouth, then turned and walked towards Li Shimin's table.
"Wow! It tastes great!" Su Chen chewed the skewers and found an empty seat to sit down. He didn't expect that he was the first person to eat beef skewers.
It was worth his "hard work".
"Boy, come sit next to me!" Li Shimin glared at Su Chen fiercely. He had reserved a seat for Su Chen, but he sat opposite Li Shimin.
"Yeah, yeah, good!" Su Chen immediately changed his seat and sat next to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin was about to scold Su Chen, when the eunuch brought another tray of beef skewers to the table.
"Your Majesty, try it while it's hot, the beef skewers taste great!" Su Chen pointed at the skewers on the table and reminded.
Li Shimin glanced at Su Chen unhappily, looked at the beef skewers and roughly counted the number. Each person should be able to get three or four skewers.
He didn't want to make a joke like the first time he ate barbecue, so he grabbed a handful.
Li Shimin picked up three beef skewers and handed them to Li Yuan, and grabbed three himself, then turned the turntable.
"Everyone, no need to be polite, eat while it's hot!"
At this time, the servants of Changsun Mansion came to the backyard with two jars of imperial wine. Unlike Su Chen Manor, Chang Sun Mansion does not have a large cup. You have to use a wine dispenser to pour wine into the cup one spoonful at a time, and glass wine cups are not suitable.
Li Shimin took two bites of the beef skewers and praised loudly. "Well, this way of eating roast beef is very much to my liking!"
"That's right, that's right!"
Everyone followed suit.
"Your Majesty, be careful that there are ears behind the walls. If the people hear it, I'm afraid that the emperor will take the lead in eating beef..." Wei Zheng reminded in a low voice,To prevent Li Shimin from getting carried away.
Li Shimin was frightened when he heard this.
Changsun Wuji was alerted and immediately stood up and bowed, "Your Majesty, I didn't make good arrangements. I'll be back soon."
Changsun Wuji planned to send servants to guard the backyard walls to prevent pedestrians from approaching.
To prevent the conversation inside the wall from being overheard.
In fact, they didn't know that before the roasted beef skewers were out of the oven. More than a dozen people stood outside the backyard wall of Changsun Mansion, whispering and pointing.
Fortunately, Li Junxian had foresight and sent people to separate the backyard wall from the road early.
It can ensure that pedestrians outside cannot hear the conversation inside the wall, otherwise the emperor's stealing of beef would have been exposed long ago.
As for why people gathered outside the wall, of course it was because the aroma of roasted beef lured pedestrians in.
The plain-dressed guards did not drive away the pedestrians, as long as they could ensure that they could not hear the conversation inside.
After all, it was not reasonable to drive away pedestrians on the road for no reason.
When Changsun Wuji ordered the servants, the servants told him that someone had already arranged to guard around the wall.
Hearing this, Changsun Wuji breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the backyard to tell Li Shimin to rest assured.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Commander Li has already made arrangements. No one outside the wall can hear the conversation in the mansion."
Li Shimin also felt relieved. He cared about his reputation the most. If it was spread that the emperor took the lead in slaughtering cattle, what would happen?
"Everyone, come, drink this cup!"
Li Shimin completely relaxed and raised the wine cup to invite a drink.
It was just that he felt a little uncomfortable using a glass wine cup after being used to it.
"Cheers to your majesty, the emperor!"
Everyone stood up and raised their glasses, and Su Chen quickly put down the beef skewers and stood up and raised his glass.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor!"
After everyone finished speaking, Su Chen spoke alone.
This cannot be blamed on Su Chen, he still does not understand. Why these people can say the same words at the same time without discussing in advance, and their body movements are also surprisingly consistent.
It's very strange!
Su Chen's abrupt words almost made Li Shimin and others spit out the wine in their throats before they completely swallowed it.
Everyone looked at Su Chen teasingly, but they didn't know how to teach Su Chen.
After a while, Li Shimin said:
"Show! Why are you so outstanding?"
