Emperor Xiaoyao of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 21 Li Daozong who came for food
"General Manager, the Ministry of War is in a hurry for [-] miles." Ren Chengwang Li Daozong's personal soldiers reported outside the account.

"Come in." Li Daozong sat at the table, thinking about how to attack the remaining Turks.

"Your Majesty's rewards have arrived, it seems that we really want to find that Jinyu." Li Daozong said to himself after reading the letter from the Ministry of War.

"Come here!" Li Daozong saw that his personal soldiers had entered the account, and ordered: "Pass to Zhang Baoxiang and Jiang Shiren."

"Baoxiang, this is an urgent [-]-mile journey just arrived, you should take a look first." Li Daozong handed the letter to Zhang Baoxiang who came in.

"Master Ren, did you ask any more questions?" Li Daozong pointed.

"Report to the chief manager, Jie Li said that there were three people in Jin Yu's party, one of them was surnamed Chen, who was injured by Jie Li, and the injury was not serious, and there was a little girl. Jie Li said that Jin Yu was insidious and cunning, and that he was the rebirth of a demon. The three of them It is very likely to go to Chang'an." Jiang Shiren reported truthfully.

"Well, you did a good job. What do you think of Baoxiang?" Li Daozong praised Jiang Shiren, and then asked Zhang Baoxiang, pointing to the letter from the Ministry of War.

"Holy orders cannot be violated. It seems that we really need to search for Jin Yu's whereabouts." Zhang Baoxiang said.

"Well, Jiang Shiren obeys orders."

"The last general is here!" Jiang Shiren bent down and obeyed the order.

"Look for a painter, draw Jin Yu's face, and give it to your brothers. Two people will explore a radius of [-] miles. If you find Jin Yu, you will report back immediately, and follow him alone. There must be no rudeness." Considering His Majesty Li Er Li Daozong issued a rather difficult order for the title.

"No!" Jiang Shiren led the order to leave the account.

"Baoxiang, I heard that there is a Defuju in the south of Lingzhou City, and the food is quite extraordinary. You and I have been bored for so many days, why don't you change your clothes and go have a taste?" Li Daozong sent an invitation to Zhang Baoxiang.

"The bird is almost fading out of my lower mouth, I wish for it. Hehe." The two looked at each other and smiled.

Since the effect was very good on the first day, the shopkeeper temporarily called several clansmen to help, and was able to cope with the crowds in the next two days.Although there is no free tasting offer in the future, there is still an endless stream of people who come to eat through word of mouth, and many of them are repeat customers.

Jin Yu asked the shopkeeper for some winter tea, called Yang Ying, and guarded a small stove on the second floor to show off his tea art.Although this winter tea is somewhat different from the later teas, Jinyu is more used to drinking it after brewing rather than adding ingredients to it.

"How is it?" Jin Yu looked at Yang Ying and asked, taking a sip.

"It's a bit bitter, hehe." Yang Ying replied mischievously.

"Okay, I asked the wrong person. Someone said, 'Green Ant's new winter tea, a small red clay stove. It's snowing late, can you have a drink?' You can't understand this kind of mood." Jin Yu showed off. . (Change Bai Dada's poem, hehe)

"Good poem, is this poem written by your son?" Li Daozong interjected after finishing his meal.

"Ah? No, it was written by someone else, hehe." Jin Yu was a little surprised, and at the same time, he didn't have the cheek to revise and plagiarize other people's masterpieces.

"Oh? I think the young master's tea is pretty good, can you have a cup?" Li Daozong was in a particularly good mood today, and got up and walked to Jinyu's table.

"Of course, please." Jin Yu raised his hand and poured a cup of tea for Li Daozong. Yang Ying, who was on the side, saw that there were outsiders disturbing her, she said in silence, and went back to the backyard.

"Well, the bars are clear, the tea is clear and fragrant, the entrance is astringent, and the aftertaste is soft and fragrant, which is better than boiled tea." Li Daozong took a sip and said, then turned to Zhang Baoxiang and introduced: "Baoxiang also come to taste, the taste is really good Not bad."

"Please." Jin Yu felt embarrassed, this man really didn't see anyone, but he still poured Zhang Baoxiang a cup.

"It's really good. I ate delicious food and drank good tea today. This trip is worthwhile." Zhang Baoxiang said boldly.

"When the food was served just now, I heard from the shopkeeper that the food in this shop is taught by the young master?" Li Daozong asked.

"That's right, hehe." Jin Yu said haha.

"Is the young master a scholar?" Li Daozong was a little curious. It's rare for a scholar to cook.

"That's right." Jin Yu has studied for 16 years in total. Even in front of the great Confucians of this dynasty, he can barely say that he is a scholar, right?
"Oh? Does the young master know that 'a gentleman stays away from the kitchen'?" Li Daozong's attitude was thought-provoking.

"Xiaosheng dare to ask, are the two uncles scholars?" Jin Yu saw that the two were a little older, but they had outstanding temperament, so he asked cautiously, fearing that they would hurt their face in front of scholars.

"No, we are both rough people who practice martial arts." Li Daozong seemed to see Jin Yu's narrow-mindedness, and replied shaking his head.

"Oh, Xiaosheng thinks that the so-called 'gentleman stays away from the kitchen' is just a mental state that he can't bear to kill. If he says that he is not a gentleman after cooking, it is unavoidably biased." Jin Yu spoke his mind with confidence.

"Oh? Is it true that a gentleman should cook?" Li Daozong heard this saying for the first time.

"It's not about cooking. A gentleman should be able to cook. For example, if an illiterate robber doesn't cook, is he a gentleman? If a gentleman cooks and slaughters chickens and ducks, he is a rough man. Those who can only say such things are narrow-minded and hypocritical."

"Why do you say hypocrisy?" Li Daozong asked.

"On the one hand, I look down on the cook, but I eat the delicious food made by the cook. On the other hand, I say that I can't bear to kill, but I turn my head and eat the meat. Isn't it hypocritical? Let me tell you, cooking is not related to this person. Gentleman, there is no side at all, and cooking cannot be used as a criterion for judging a person's character."

"Young Master's statement is novel, hehe. I don't know how to address you, Young Master?" Li Daozong asked.

"My surname is Jin and my name is Yu." Jin Yu introduced himself, cupping his hands.

Li Daozong added with a smile.

"Ah?" Jin Yu stood up in shock, who is this person, did he come through time travel?how do you know?

"Young Master Jin, don't be surprised. We are Jiang Shiren's colleagues. He respects you very much. I never thought we would meet here." Li Daozong explained.

"Oh, I don't know how to call the two uncles?" Jin Yu asked with a little peace of mind.

"My humble Li Daozong, this is Zhang Baoxiang." Li Daozong introduced.

"Li Daozong, why is it so familiar?" Jin Yu felt that he had heard this name before, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"Li Daozong, king of Rencheng, you must have heard of it, right?" Zhang Baoxiang nodded to Jinyu.

"I've heard of it, I've admired his name for a long time!" The later generations spoke highly of him, who was passed down as a god-like figure by later generations, and now he was honored to see the honor, Jin Yu was a little excited, and hurriedly got up to pay his respects.
