Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 60
Qin Family Village.

Tang Rong, who just woke up from a nap, looked a little lazy, but her lazy look turned out to be so charming, as if she had stepped out of a painting.

"Xiaoqing, did my uncle not rest?"

"Miss, my uncle has been working on brewing wine recently, and I haven't had a lunch break for several days."

Tang Rong curled her lips and said, "It's just wine, why make it yourself, I really don't know what he thinks."

Xiaoqing smiled: "Miss, I heard from Xiaodie that the wine made by my uncle is not ordinary."

"Can you believe Xiaodie's words?"

"Why can't I believe it? She said that this wine can be drunk in summer to relieve the heat. I think it is possible. Isn't wine from the Western Regions just fine?"

Hearing that wine can relieve heat, Tang Rong was a little surprised, because he knew that their Huaxia wine is generally used to drive away the cold, and the wine for relieving heat can only be regarded as fruit brewing.

Her family shares food, how can they make wine to relieve the heat?

Tang Rong was a little curious, so she took Xiaoqing to the backyard to see how Qin Tian made wine.

It's just that after coming to the backyard, Qin Tian was not seen, only Fu Bo and a few others were busy.

"Fu Bo, where's your husband?"

Seeing that it was Tang Rong, Uncle Fu hurried over: "Ma'am, the young master has been sent to the palace by the Holy Majesty."

"Enter the palace?" Tang Rong was shocked again, not just anyone can enter this palace, her family's husband is just an eighth-rank Xuanjie captain, what did the Holy Majesty order him to enter the palace?
Tang Rong became a little worried, and asked, "What was the attitude of the palace man when he came?"

"It's very polite to the young master."

Hearing the politeness, Tang Rong was a little relieved, the people in this palace were the most popular, if they were polite to Qin Tian, ​​then entering the palace would not be too dangerous.

Of course, a companion is like a tiger, and she is still worried that Qin Tian did not come back safely.

The weather was hot, and Qin Tian followed the palace servants to rush to Chang'an City, but along the way, Qin Tian's expression was not very good.

What he was most worried about happened, or in other words, Lu Huaniang's warning came true.

He is just a little captain Xuanjie, if Li Yuan announced that he went to the palace to discuss state affairs, he would not believe him if he was killed.

It must be for the secret ingredient of Hu spicy soup.

Qin Tian's heart remained calm, and after entering the palace, he was directly led to the imperial study.

Entering the imperial study room, besides Li Yuan, there was also a woman who was familiar all over her body, Qin Tian felt palpitations when he saw it, and quickly lowered his head.

"My humble minister, Qin Tian, ​​pay homage to the Holy Majesty."

Qin Tian saluted very calmly. This was the first time Li Yuan saw Qin Tian. Seeing that Qin Tian was still so calm when he met the Son of Heaven, he liked him a little more.

"Get up, I announce you to come, I just want to ask you for one thing."

Qin Tian cursed secretly in his heart, but on the surface he was very calm, and said, "I don't know what the Holy One wants?"

"I ate soup dumpling and hot pepper soup today and thought it was really delicious. I want you to teach the cooking of these two delicacies to the imperial chef in the imperial study."

Qin Tiandao: "The Holy Majesty likes to eat, so naturally there is no problem. The minister will teach the recipe to the imperial chef, and will also send alkaline noodles and secret ingredients to the palace every month."

Li Yuan didn't think about asking for Qin Tian's secret information, as long as he could know these two things at any time, but before he opened his mouth, Yin Defei who was beside him suddenly said: "My lord, how troublesome is it to deliver the alkali noodles and secret materials every month?" , it’s better to let Qin Tian write down the secret recipe and let the chef configure it himself, it’s not only safe, but also convenient.”

Hearing the word "safety", Li Yuan's thoughts suddenly changed. This secret material was brought in from outside the palace, and indeed there was an additional layer of security issues, so it's better to let his own people come.

Thinking about it, Li Yuan nodded: "Qin Tian, ​​please leave the secret recipe of alkaline noodles and secret ingredients."

Li Yuan said it casually, as if it was just an order, and no one was allowed to object to it. Qin Tian complained secretly, but then he stood up and said, "Your Majesty, it is not necessary to send the alkali noodles and secret ingredients once a month." trouble."

Concubine Yin De frowned slightly, and shouted: "Bold, do you want to disobey orders?"

Qin Tiandao: "I dare not disobey orders, it's just for the sake of the Holy One."

"Hmph, it is for His Majesty's sake to let His Majesty eat food from outside the palace and face safety issues?" Concubine Yin Defei's tone became colder and colder. In her opinion, Qin Tian is just a commoner, how could he possibly stand his own pain? Coercion?
As long as Qin Tian couldn't resist the pressure, he would compromise, and when the chef had the secret recipe, she would have a way to get the secret recipe from the chef.

But she obviously underestimated Qin Tian a bit.

At this time, Qin Tian was still very calm, and said: "Dare to ask your mother, didn't the things in the palace be bought from outside?"

"you……"

Qin Tian didn't give up, and continued: "Of course, what I said to be considerate of the Holy One is not about safety, but about the reputation of the Holy One. The Holy One is the son of heaven, rich in the world, why should you care about a small secret recipe? If the Holy One is because of A delicacy requires people to present the secret recipe, what is the difference between this and stealing? If this matter gets out, what will people from all walks of life in the world think of Your Majesty?"

"Bold!" Concubine Yin De was furious suddenly, she did not expect that Qin Tian would not show any face, and even said such rebellious words.

It's just that Qin Tian didn't have any worries because of Concubine Yin De's fury. He just bowed to Li Yuanwei and said, "If the sage insists on asking for the secret recipe, I will give it to you. After all, I can't afford to lose my head for the secret recipe."

There was already a bit of irony in these words, Concubine Yin De was furious: "Your Majesty, take a look, take a look, this Qin Tian is really unreasonable, he can't do without punishment."

Li Yuan didn't open his mouth all the time, and his expression didn't show any joy or anger, but at this moment, he suddenly smiled: "Okay, this is a trivial matter, it's just that I want to satisfy my appetite, that's what you said That's serious, Qin Tian, ​​you go to the imperial dining room to teach the imperial chef how to do it, and send the soda flour and secret ingredients you mentioned every month. All the items will be sold at the market price, and I won't take advantage of you. "

"Your Majesty..." Upon hearing this, Concubine Yin De became a little anxious. She spent so much effort and finally got Qin Tian into the palace, but Li Yuan rejected it with just one word. How can this be done?

"Your Majesty is wise, this humble servant will leave." Qin Tian didn't give Concubine Yin De a chance to speak, and hurriedly withdrew.

When leaving the imperial study room, Qin Tian couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief.

Although he has always been calm, when he said those words just now, he was also scared to death. He was betting that Li Yuan was not an emperor who discriminated right from wrong.

Fortunately, Li Yuan, as the founding emperor, was kind and sensible, although he was a bit greedy for pleasure in the later period, and he was reasonable, so he didn't force him to reveal the secret recipe.

But even though he escaped a catastrophe, Qin Tian didn't relax too much, because he knew that he had offended Concubine Yin De today.

"You must make yourself stronger as soon as possible."
