The cooking method for Tang Dynasty food was very monotonous. It was basically boiled, steamed, roasted, fried, and preserved.
Not to mention the eight major departments, there wasn't even a stir-fry.
He could guess the taste of this antique soup. No matter how rare it was in the Tang Dynasty, it wouldn't be any better.
Not to mention the hotpot base that he had carefully brewed.
Li Shi Min saw Chen Mo's confident look and smiled as he called for the officials to sit down.
They wanted to try the hotpot that Chen Mo was talking about and see if it was as amazing as he said it was!
After he was done, Li Shimin first picked up his chopsticks and looked at the table full of raw food. He suddenly had no idea which one to choose.
In the end, he chose a piece of lotus root. Because the red soup base smelled very pungent, he put it in the bottom of the clear soup.
After cooking for a while, Li Shiming picked up the lotus root slices and put them into his mouth.
Instantly, the crispness and sweetness of the lotus root mixed with the fresh fragrance of the soup exploded in his mouth, continuously teasing his taste buds.
Li Shiming's eyes lit up and he praised loudly," Mmm, these lotus root slices are really delicious. They're even more delicious than the ones made in the imperial kitchen!"”
As he spoke, he didn't care much and started to cook the other food on the stone table.
Chen Mo smiled disdainfully. Poor Emperor, he was so shocked just by eating hotpot. He really had not seen the world.
The other ministers at the stone table saw Li Shimin eating all kinds of food on the table happily.
He was so shocked that his jaw almost fell off!
His Majesty was the Emperor of the Tang Empire and had eaten all kinds of delicacies. How could he give such a high evaluation to this hotpot?
Could it be that this thing was so delicious that it was even more delicious than Chen Mo's roasted tiger meat?
Immediately, the ministers did not suspect anything. They picked up their chopsticks and picked up all kinds of raw food on the table, throwing them into the copper pot and eating.
When they tasted the Changle Hotpot, it was as if they had eaten the most delicious food in the world. As they ate, they praised it endlessly.
"Wow, this hotpot is really delicious. I've never eaten such delicious food before!”
"That's right. This hotpot tastes thousands of times better than that antique soup!”
"Stop talking. The taste of that antique soup can't be compared to hotpot at all!”
……
The ministers ate until their mouths were full of oil. They were all stunned by the taste of the hotpot.
Accompanied by the spicy fragrance of the spicy butter, this unprecedented taste completely conquered the taste buds of Li Shiming and the ministers.
"Everyone, don't stand on ceremony. Eat as much as you want. I have enough food here!”
Seeing everyone eating so happily, Chen Mo crossed his legs and smiled.
After saying that, Chen Mo took out his precious Moutai and opened the bottle cap. He poured a glass for everyone and said with a smile,"
"Everyone, this is my precious Moutai wine. Please have a taste!”
Immediately, a rich wine fragrance wafted across the stone table, making one salivate and tremble.
Everyone smelled the fragrance of the wine and couldn't wait to take a sip.
Immediately, a spicy and mellow wine fragrance filled the officials 'throats, making them feel as if they had drunk jade nectar, and their bodies felt comfortable.
"Good wine!"
"This is what a man should drink!”
"After drinking this Moutai, I realized that the wine I used to drink was horse urine!”
……
Instantly, the ministers at the stone table smacked their lips and praised the Moutai wine.
"Chen Mo, I heard that you have a divine item called a cigarette. After smoking it, one will feel as if they are floating in the air and riding on the clouds?”
Suddenly, Cheng Yaojin, who was sitting on the table, asked Chen Mo a question after swallowing a large piece of mutton.
Cheng Yaojin looked at Chen Mo expectantly.
When the other ministers at the table heard this, they looked at each other and revealed a playful smile.
Ever since they had tasted cigarettes last time, they had been savoring the fragrance and wanted to smoke a few more.
Now that Cheng Yaojin had taken the initiative to ask Chen Mo for cigarettes, they were naturally more than happy to do so.
In fact, after Du Ruhui and the others smoked with Li Shimin in the royal study last time, they had been bragging to Cheng Yaojin, making Cheng Yaojin envious.
Since then, Cheng Yaojin had made up his mind that he would ask Chen Mo for a few cigarettes in the future and taste them himself.
When Chen Mo heard this, he was stunned. He didn't expect Cheng Yaojin to be thinking about his China.
His cigarettes were given to him by the system, and every cigarette he smoked made his heart ache.
However, when he saw his father-in-law, brother-in-law, and the ministers all looking forward to it, Chen Mo could not refuse. He could only take out his precious Zhonghua cigarettes and give one to everyone present.
"General Cheng, I didn't expect you to be thinking about my cigarettes. You're so far away today. Come, give each of you one!”
"Haha, Chen Mo, you're really straightforward. Then, Old Cheng, I'll be impolite to refuse!”
Cheng Yaojin saw that Chen Mo had given him a cigarette without saying a word, and he smiled so widely that his eyes narrowed.
Without a word, he lit the cigarette in his hand and took a deep puff!
"Phew!"
As Cheng Yaojin inhaled, a pungent smoke was inhaled into his mouth and lungs.
"Cough cough!"
"The smell of this cigarette is too pungent!”
The spicy smoke made Cheng Yaojin choke and cough repeatedly. Tears even came out of the corners of his eyes.
"Haha, Old Cheng, your method of drawing is wrong. Watch me.”
Li Shi Min saw Cheng Yaojin choking on his tears and couldn't help but laugh.
After saying that, he lit the cigarette in his hand and put it into his mouth. After a while, he blew out rings of smoke skillfully and comfortably.
"See? You guys should learn, or it'll be a waste!”
After taking a few puffs, Li Shiming squinted his eyes comfortably and said proudly.
"Your Majesty's smoking skills are superb, Old Cheng admires you!”
Cheng Yaojin saw Li Shiming smoking with a carefree look on his face. He was envious and followed suit.
