Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 61
The cooks in the imperial dining room obviously have a much better understanding of food than the cooks outside.

Whether it's soup dumplings, deep-fried dough sticks, or spicy soup, as long as you teach them once, they can copy it very well.

When they learn it one or two times, they are basically proficient in vocalization.

Cooking is actually a matter of understanding by analogy. If you know how to handle ingredients, it will be much easier to learn how to cook.

Therefore, within half a day, Qin Tian taught all these delicacies to the imperial chef.

And after these royal chefs learned, Qin Tian left the palace in a hurry.

This place is a place of right and wrong, so it is not suitable to stay for a long time. If he is not strong enough to protect himself, Qin Tian will never want to come in again.

It's just that he didn't expect that something that he didn't want the least would happen, and he entered the palace again two days later.

However, after the imperial chef in the imperial dining room learned how to make soup dumplings and spicy soup, he made two meals for Li Yuan in a row.

Although Li Yuan ate two meals in a row, the more he ate, the more he craved it, and he couldn't quit.

As a result, although Concubine Yin De failed to achieve her goal, she gained Li Yuan's favor because of her dedication to offering delicious food, so she stayed in Concubine Yin De's bedroom that night.

But Li Yuan stayed in Concubine Yin De's bedroom, but he offended Yuwen Zhaoyi.

Yuwen Zhaoyi is the daughter of Sui Dynasty general Yu Wenshu and younger sister of Yu Wenhuaji. When Yu Wenhuaji was defeated by Dou Jiande, Yuwen followed his third brother Yuwenshiji and voted for Tang Dynasty.

Because of Yuwen's good looks, he was recruited into the palace by Li Yuan and named Zhaoyi.

Originally tonight, Li Yuan said that he was going to sleep with her, but she waited and waited in her bedroom, but she couldn't wait for Li Yuan to arrive.

The night was dark, and even the cicadas in the deep palace could not be heard.

Yuwen Zhaoyi showed a sad look on his face, and asked, "Is Your Majesty still busy in the imperial study?"

The maid was a little apprehensive, but she quickly responded, "The sage has gone to Chunlu Palace."

Chunlu Palace is Concubine Yin De's bedroom. When Yuwen Zhaoyi heard that Li Yuan had gone there, she raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why did you go there?"

She originally thought that Li Yuan was busy in the imperial study and rested because he was too tired after being busy, but she never thought that she went to Concubine Yin De's little wave hoof.

"I heard... Concubine Yin De presented some delicacies to the Holy Majesty today, and the Majesty likes it, so he especially favors Concubine Yin De."

"What food?"

"The servant has never seen it."

Yuwen Zhaoyi pondered for a moment, and said: "Tomorrow, let me investigate those delicacies. A few delicacies can attract the favor of the Holy One, and I won't believe it."

The maid hurriedly responded, but didn't mention it was night.

The next day, Yuwen Zhaoyi's maid asked several times, and finally got something from some apprentices in the imperial study, so she hurriedly came to inform Yuwen Zhaoyi.

"My lady, it's soup dumplings and spicy soup."

"What kind of food is this, and what is it made of?"

"I heard that it is the breakfast that the people in Chang'an City like to eat. Hu spicy soup seems to be made of mutton. The soup dumplings are made of pork, and more often it is pork skin jelly."

Hearing that the soup dumpling was actually made of pork, Yuwen Zhaoyi immediately stood up and said, "Okay, okay, this Concubine Yin De is so bold, she dared to let the Holy Majesty eat pork, someone, go and kill me Third brother, please come."
-
Yu Wenshi is weak and weak, and he looks like a scholar without a trace of vigor.

After he came to Yuwen Zhaoyi's bedroom, he was very curious and asked, "Why did my sister call me here?"

Yuwen Zhaoyi told about Li Yuan eating pork, and after saying this, said: "Brother, Concubine Yin De is very favored because of the soup dumplings and Hu spicy soup. If this continues, my sister will not be able to live. You You must help me."

Hearing Yuwen Zhaoyi's words, Yuwen Shiji complained secretly, the soup dumpling and Hu spicy soup were indeed delicious, and he would eat them occasionally, how could he help?

But facing his sister, he seemed to have no other choice.

As Yu Wenhuaji's younger brother, he is still alive and well in Datang, not because he chose to surrender to Li Tang, but because his younger sister is Li Yuan's woman.

His fate is closely connected with his sister's fate, if his sister is not favored in the harem, he will have no status in the court.

"I don't know what my sister wants my brother to do?"

Yuwen Zhaoyi said: "Brother, I will trouble you to find some people to impeach Qin Tian in the court tomorrow, saying that his soup dumpling made the ministers of the court eat pork, which is a shame for the court. As long as the emperor punishes Qin Tian , I can take this opportunity to pull Concubine Yin De out, because if it weren't for her, the Holy Majesty wouldn't be very fond of cheap meat like pork."

Yuwen Zhaoyi felt that his method was perfect, but Yuwen Shiji smiled wryly when he heard it. He felt that his sister's method was indeed feasible.

After all, Datang paid great attention to the image of officials. Even if you are hungry, you can’t go to the east and west cities to buy food and eat it on the street.

In terms of rules, this approach is feasible.

It's just that he was a little worried, worried that he would be sneaky when eating soup dumplings and hot pepper soup in the future.

After Yu Wenshi and he agreed, he went to find a few colleagues. Of course, most of these colleagues were officials from Yushitai. It would be great to let them impeach, and they also like to do this kind of thing, especially It was only a little Qin Tian who was impeached, so there was no danger.

After this arrangement was made, in the morning of the next day, when the ministers said about the important affairs of the court, a spokesperson stood up.

"My lord, I want to impeach you."

The heat in the hall was unbearable, Li Yuan was already a little impatient, but seeing the speaker stand up now, it was not easy to shut their mouths, so he could only force himself to ask: "What do you want to impeach?"

"Your Majesty, I want to impeach Qin Tian. The second son invented a delicacy called soup dumpling. Many ministers in the court like it very much. But as far as I know, this soup dumpling is made of pork. It is made of meat, and the ministers of the court, as officials of the Tang Dynasty, eat cheap meat, which really damages the image of the Tang Dynasty. I ask the emperor to punish Qin Tian and prohibit officials from eating soup dumplings."

The official spoke uprightly, with a face of justice, and right after he finished speaking, the court immediately started talking about it.

However, although these people talked about it, no one was willing to stand up to refute the impeachment of the speaker, because Datang had a clear rule that officials of Datang must maintain a good image, because they represented Datang.

Although it may not be followed on weekdays, but it is really hard to say when it is put on the bright side.

And while the court was discussing, a voice suddenly sounded from the hall: "Bah..."
