It was the first time these generals had drunk such strong liquor, so they couldn't help but drink a few bowls in a row. It was also because it was their first time drinking such strong liquor that some of them couldn't stand the alcohol. Their faces were slightly red, and they didn't even think before they spoke.
Sanniang Li was not annoyed by this situation, nor was she angry at the situation of these generals.
They were all generals who had risked their lives on the battlefield. They had helped Sanniang Li defend Wugong County and Shiping City, stabilized the situation in Guanzhong, and laid down a foundation for her.
Right now, in front of her, they were just losing their morals after drinking. This was the most real of them. If they could not let go in front of her, then there would be a real problem.
"It is easy to get drunk when drinking on an empty stomach. Tonight, not only have I prepared good wine for you, but I have also prepared a table full of delicious food for you.”
Sanniang Li saw that they had all tasted the wine and it was time to serve the dishes. She directly said loudly and asked them to stop.
When the generals heard Li Sanniang's words, they immediately became very interested in the delicious food that was about to be served. It seemed that Li Sanniang really valued them and made them feel very honored.
This was the mindset of most people in this era. They were born to be superior and inferior. Some people were destined to have a higher status than ordinary people.
In fact, if these generals had the thoughts of the later generations, they would definitely not be too moved by such a banquet. It was definitely impossible for them to be bribed by good wine and good food.
However, this was at the end of the Sui Dynasty. The status of an emperor, an aristocratic family, a noble, and a noble had to make them feel a little humble.
This was also because their thoughts had not been sublimated. It was also because their level of education was limited. They had been influenced by what they had heard and seen since they were young. They had lived in such an environment since they were young and had seen too many people bow their heads to the powerful and aristocratic families.
Li Sanniang was the Third Lady of the Li family, the daughter of the Duke of the State. She might even become a princess in the future. Such a person was high and mighty.
But now, she had prepared such delicious liquor and food for them. How could they not be excited?
The first dish was a plate of roast duck. The duck was bought by Yun Yi. At this time, there were already farmers raising ducks and there were also farmers selling ducks.
After buying it, he used some spices to marinate it. Yun Yi did not teach this method to these chefs. They did not dare to secretly learn it because in this era, talent and skills were highly valued.
If a person mastered a skill, then if it was stolen by someone else, it would be considered stealing the skill. He would be sentenced and go to the government for free.
The braised duck was then placed on the charcoal and slowly roasted. The roasted duck was very fragrant and did not have the smell of smoke.
At this time, the roast meat was roasted over an open fire. It was either burnt or smoked badly, giving off a smoky smell.
When the plate of roast duck was served, the fragrance of the roast duck had already spread throughout the courtyard. The guards and servant girls began to drool, their eyes filled with envy as they looked at the generals. They were lucky enough to eat such delicious roast duck.
Li Sanniang's personal maids, Xiaodong and Xiaoxia, also smelled the fragrance of the roast duck. However, they were serving Li Sanniang at the moment and could only watch.
However, they all knew that Yun Yi would definitely save a portion for them. This was because Yun Yi would usually make some delicious food, and they were all lucky to have it.
The second dish was Yuxiang Shredded Pork, the third was sweet and sour fish, and the fourth was…
It was the first time that those generals had tasted such delicious food, and it was also the first time that Third Aunt Li had tasted the dishes made by Yun Yi.
Ten dishes were served at once, and every dish was delicious. The generals no longer drank and were all competing with the dishes on the table.
They had just drunk some hard liquor. They usually drank a lot of alcohol, but this was the first time they had eaten such delicious food.
Therefore, they wanted to eat delicious food more than hard liquor.
In the small courtyard of the kitchen, Xiao Chun and Xiao Qiu were eating delicacies with Yun Xue 'er and Yun Yi. Xiao Chun and Xiao Qiu had nothing to say about Yun Yi's cooking. Although a gentleman stayed away from the kitchen, Yun Yi had also explained this.
Moreover, in front of the little glutton, they had long ignored the teachings of the saints. Yun Yi's food was so delicious. If they didn't let him continue cooking and stay away from the kitchen, how could they eat such delicious food? The loss was too great.
When they were almost done eating, Yun Yi instructed Yun Xue 'er and greeted Xiao Chun and Xiao Qiu before heading to the hall. This was because Third Aunt Li had already arranged it.
Seeing that these generals were almost done eating, they began to greet each other and talk about food and wine. They also began to move on to the next topic.
"Everyone, today, I called you here mainly to celebrate our defeat of the Sui army and our establishment in Guanzhong. There's another thing I want to announce.”
After a pause and successfully attracting everyone's attention, Sanniang Li continued," Everyone has seen the power of the wine jar and the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow. Now, we are drinking good wine and eating delicious food. All of this was created by one person. He joined me from Chang 'an and has been supporting me from behind. This person has made a great contribution to us pacifying the pass and successfully defeating the Sui army. Now, let me introduce him. Yun Yi, come out."”
Yun Yi was waiting in front. When he heard Sanniang Li call out to him, he immediately walked into the hall.
When everyone saw that Yun Yi was only in his teens, they were all shocked. Other than a few people who knew Yun Yi and Ma Sanbao who knew the inside story, the others all had expressions as if they had bought a watch last year.
"Greetings, Lord."
Yun Yi bowed to Sanniang Li. After all, he was in front of everyone, so he had to pay attention to etiquette. He could not call her Sister Li.
Sanniang Li only tolerated Yun Yi because she saw that he was talented. Otherwise, she would definitely punish him for being disrespectful.
Li Sanniang nodded and said,"No need to be polite. Come, give me a seat!"”
Then, Sanniang Li took out Li Yuan's verbal order and read out Li Yuan's reward for Yun Yi. She let these people know how much Li Yuan valued Yun Yi and at the same time, his approval of Sanniang Li.
This was also a shot in the arm for them. They knew that as long as they made a contribution here, they would definitely be rewarded by Li Yuan.
This was also another meaning of Sanniang Li. She wanted them to know that following her would definitely benefit them. She would not let them follow her for nothing.
