Datang: Only by resisting the will can one become stronger

Chapter 157

The bear's paw that Li Qiu ordered someone to serve, after peeling and processing, put a beehive on it, and steamed it all night.

Guaranteed to taste and melt in your mouth.

Looking at this dish, Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji asked curiously.

However, Li Qiu left a suspense, and after everyone tasted it for a while, he would announce the answer.

Immediately, when the bear's paw was served, Li Qiu poured some purified shooting wolf, and then used pine sticks to make fire and ignite it.

Where have everyone ever seen this kind of fancy way of serving food?

Only Luo Kexin, Wu Jue, Li Yin, Empress Changsun and others were startled and exclaimed.

When the flames were quickly extinguished, Li Qiu smiled, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, the eldest grandson, this is a special delicacy made by the kid today."

"It is estimated that in a few years, there will be only one of them, and others will never be able to eat it even if they want to."

Hearing him say this, Li Shimin, especially the eldest grandson Wuji's eyes lit up.

I'm glad I insisted on following me today.

Afterwards, everyone began to taste the dishes of today's table.

Not surprisingly, the honey-steamed bear's paw won the highest praise.

Even Empress Changsun praised it again and again, this dish is delicious and appetizing.

As for Li Shimin, he and the eldest grandson Wuji threw away the cup and replaced it with a bowl to drink.

When the wine has passed three rounds and the dishes have passed five flavors, Li Shimin glanced at the empty wine jar beside him, and asked with a smile:

"Li Qiu, now you should always say, what kind of dishes are these and how are they cooked?"

The eldest grandson Wuji on the side was also curious, "That's right, you have to talk about it."

"Today's dishes, just two or three, are the same as yesterday.

"I haven't eaten the other dishes before, and the taste is quite special. "

Is it beef?"

Hearing his words, Li Qiu hurriedly waved his hand, "I said Lord Eldest Sun, don't hurt the boy."

"In front of His Majesty and Niangniang, how dare I cook

beef to eat?" "Well, no, even when, I can't cook beef to eat!" "

The ingredients of these dishes today are actually tiger meat and bear meat.

"And the central dish that everyone likes to eat, made from local materials, is a pair of black bear paws. "

After I processed it, I put the soup underneath to taste it, put a beehive on it, slice it and steam..."

Even Ke, that expression was a little uncomfortable?,

"This... This turned out to be a bear's paw

?" "This can also be eaten?"

"And the dishes we ate today are all made of tiger meat and bear meat?"

Li Qiu said with a smile: "Exactly, exactly."

"Niangniang, you don't know, this bear's paw can not only be eaten.

"And it's definitely one of the tastiest in the world.

"Back then, in the mountains, my master often made it for us to eat.

"It's good for people's bodies, Niangniang, you are weak, and it's rare to like this taste, so you should eat more."

Li Yin blinked at this time, and asked curiously: "If you listen to the prince's words, this kind of food should be food that only immortals eat?"

Regarding Li Qiu's legendary story, many children in Chang'an City admired and worshiped him very much.

Li Yin is also among them.

The reason why she was brought here by Wu Jue today was mainly because she wanted to hear Li Qiu's legendary story.

Hearing her words, Li Qiu smiled, "It can also be understood in this way."

At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji looked at the chopsticks in his hand in surprise, "Li Qiu, where did you get these black bears and tigers

?" "And you cooked them and ate them?"

Li Shimin on the side snorted lightly at this moment, "I'm afraid that this kid slaughtered and ate the beast in the hibiscus garden."

"Do you kid know how much manpower, material and financial resources it took to get these beasts over in the first place?"

Li Qiu smiled, "Your Majesty, you guessed too right.

"The tiger and the black bear are the original things in this hibiscus garden.

"As for how much it cost to get them in the first place, the boy doesn't know.

"The boy only knows that the cost of feeding them every day is enough to save tens of thousands of displaced people.

"Seeing that now in the cold winter, there are still countless displaced people suffering from cold and hunger.

"Therefore, the boy is determined to do everything in his power to help these people survive this calamity.

"Slaughtering these beasts, which are useless and waste food and money, is only the first step in the boy's action.

Li Shimin glanced at him with a smile at this time, "Hmph, you kid is like a spring."

"Let's kill it, kill it, who let me and the queen get on the same boat with you and eat this bear paw

and tiger meat?" "I heard that the tiger skin is still quite good?"

Li Qiu hurriedly bowed down and smiled, "Your Majesty is right, this tiger skin was slaughtered with care, and it is very well preserved.

"Before, the kid could always hear that this Tai Chi Palace was in disrepair and leaking wind and rain.

"Now that the cold winter has arrived, Your Majesty has been fighting for many years and has old wounds.

"If you suffer from the wind and cold again, it will be terrible.

"So, the boy has long wanted to get a tiger skin and give it to Your Majesty to protect against the cold.

"Now this tiger skin has already been prepared and placed at the door of the Hibiscus Garden, waiting for His Majesty to take it with him when he leaves." Li

Shimin's intention is naturally to consider Li Qiu.

Originally, it was a tiger skin, what could he keep for his son?

But he was just afraid that this matter would be taken away by someone with a heart, and he would play this Li Qiu again.

When the time comes, Li Qiu and himself will be in trouble.

But he didn't expect that Li Qiu, a bastard boy, would think of this matter early and prepare all the tiger skins for him.

"Haha, you are a good boy!" "

Dare you to slaughter this tiger and black bear, just wait for me and the queen to come to the door, and then make a shield for you, right?"

"But, for the sake of your filial piety, I will accept this tiger skin!" Li

Shimin's words also caused everyone to smile, Li Qiu couldn't help but smile and bowed, anyway, he neither admitted nor defended.

At this time, Li Shimin, who had not drunk a lot of wine, was in a good mood, but he was also a little tired.

also left with the eldest grandson queen.

Everyone sent each other, and there is no need to mention it again.

On the way back, Li Shimin looked at the very neat stack of tiger skins in the carriage, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

"When the Emperor wanted to get these beasts, I didn't agree. "

At that time, the Tang Dynasty soldiers were not strong, the horses were not strong, the civil war was not settled, the number of ordinary households was sharply reduced, and there were strong enemies around them.

"What are you doing with these beasts that cost money and money?"

"Is it just for the fun of these princes and nobles, princes, and princesses?!"

"It's too unusual. "
