Chapter 385 The Reason for the Divine Right of Kings!!!
"Yeah!"
Li Yuan praised repeatedly, his eyes full of admiration:
"Erlang, where did this wine come from?
I have never tasted such a rich wine.”
Li Er smiled slightly, pointed at Zhuang Zhou and said:
"Father, this wine was brought by Zhuang Zhou.
He is from Southeast Asia and has a lot of experience in winemaking.”
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Li Yuan looked at Zhuang Zhou again, with a little more admiration and curiosity in his eyes:
"It turns out that Mr. Zhuang is also proficient in the art of brewing wine. How rare!"
Even though Li Yuan was the emperor emeritus, he also brewed his own wine in private.
Therefore, I know a lot about winemaking and can already tell good wine from bad.
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Zhou immediately bowed and said:
"Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. I only know a little bit, it's not worth mentioning."
"Haha, Mr. Zhuang, there's no need to be modest."
Li Yuan laughed loudly and raised his glass:
"Come, it's a rare occasion for us to get together today, I will drink this cup with you!"
Seeing this, Li Er hurriedly advised:
"Father, you should drink slowly and take care of yourself."
"nothing!"
Li Yuan obviously didn't care, then he remembered something and said with concern:
"Erlang, it's Changsun, you have to pay more attention!"
"Don't worry, Father. I've asked Dr. Sun to check my pulse. I'll be fine after a few days of rest!"
Upon hearing this, Li Yuan nodded and said:
"With Sun Simiao's pulse diagnosis, I don't have to worry!"
"What? Sun Simiao?"
Zhuang Zhou interjected almost subconsciously.
When I finished speaking, I realized that the three of them were looking at me with puzzled expressions.
"what happened?"
Li Chengqian asked, "Hasn't Mr. Zhuang ever heard of Doctor Sun?"
This is the King of Medicine Sun Simiao!
Although Zhuang Zhou did not study traditional Chinese medicine.
But of course I have heard of this person.
I've even heard of "Qian Jin Yao Fang".
After all, Sun Simiao had a huge influence on later generations.
Zhuang Zhou was slightly stunned, then smiled and said:
“Of course I have heard of Doctor Sun, and I have great respect for his medical skills.
It’s just that I’ve never had the chance to see him in person, so I was a little surprised.”
Upon hearing this, Li Yuan stroked his beard and smiled:
"Sun Simiao's medical skills are indeed unrivaled in the world.
I was also seriously ill and on the verge of death, but fortunately he brought me back to health."
Zhuang Zhou nodded, but thought secretly in his heart.
No matter how skilled Sun Simiao’s medical skills were, he couldn’t save Li Yuan!
Thinking of this, Zhuang Zhou couldn't help but feel emotional.
Li Yuan seemed to see what Zhuang Zhou was thinking and said with a smile:
"My dear Zhuang, in life, there will always be separations between life and death.
Although I am the emperor, I cannot avoid this kind of experience.
However, as long as people live a wonderful life, why should they fear death? "
Zhuang Zhou was moved when he heard this, and he bowed and said:
"What the Emperor said is absolutely right. I have learned a lot."
Li Yuan laughed and raised his glass:
"Come on, let's continue drinking and not talk about these spoiling things."
Everyone raised their glasses to celebrate, and the atmosphere became lively again.
Zhuang Zhou also put aside his feelings and drank with the three of them.
The atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
As the banquet began.
Li Yuan, Li Er and Li Chengqian began to chat about family matters.
Zhuang Zhou sat aside, listening to their conversation quietly, but couldn't help feeling deeply moved.
He thought of himself coming to this era.
Although we have experienced many twists and turns and difficulties.
But I also met many interesting people and experienced many unforgettable things.
And now.
He was able to sit here and have dinner with the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the later emperor who would become the greatest emperor of all time.
This is an honor beyond words!
Halfway through the dinner, Li Yuan couldn't stand it anymore:
"Hiss! This hot pot is really spicy and delicious. The more I eat, the more I feel like I'm sweating and my whole body feels refreshed."
Li Er saw this and said:
"Does Father think it's too spicy?"
"so far so good!"
Li Yuanqiang pretended to be calm, and suddenly pointed at a plate of tripe and asked:
"Zhuang, what kind of dish is this?
It’s so crisp! ”
Zhuang Zhou smiled and said:
“It’s tripe!”
"Tripe? I've eaten all kinds of delicacies in the world, but I've never heard of this. What is this dish made of?"
"This... this tripe is actually the cow's omasum."
"what!"
Li Yuan immediately felt disgusted:
"Friend Zhuang, is this tripe really edible?"
Ah!
You ate the whole plate!
I just grabbed a piece!
Now you ask me if I can really eat it?
Very fake, okay!
But how could Zhuang Zhou dare to say that!
Even Li Er was very respectful to Li Yuan.
Zhuang Zhou put on a smiling face again and said:
“Your Majesty may not know that in my hometown, tripe, duck intestines and duck throat are known as the three treasures of hot pot.
Put large slices of tripe into the red spicy and boiling soup pot and blanch it up and down.
Take it out and dip it in mashed garlic, sesame oil, and sauce, then chew it in big mouthfuls. It’s so delicious with a crunchy sound!”
This is how Zhuang Zhou described it.
Li Chengqian couldn't help swallowing his saliva!
Just now, when he saw Grandpa Huang eating hot tripe, he was reluctant to grab it.
"Zhuang Xiaoyou is indeed very eloquent!"
Li Yuan praised:
"I often hear Erlang say that you know everything about astronomy and geography, and are proficient in poetry and songs, but is that true?"
"???"
Are you talking about me?
Are you sure you're right?
Zhuang Zhou was speechless!
Who the hell is spreading rumors about me?
Oh, it's His Majesty the Emperor?
That’s okay!
"Ahem...actually, I'm fine!
I understand a little bit.”
Li Yuan became even more interested after hearing this:
"My dear Zhuang, I have something to ask you, is it okay?"
Zhuang Zhou blurted out:
"Just ask, Your Majesty."
Li Yuan nodded, and after a moment's silence, he asked:
"I have heard that there is a crop called 'potatoes' in this world, which can produce up to 1,000 kilograms per mu. Is this true?"
When Zhuang Zhou heard this, he immediately understood.
He smiled slightly and said:
“What the Emperor said is absolutely right, this is potato.
Now it has been planted at the foot of Mount Li.
If nothing goes wrong, we will have a bumper harvest this year!"
"Oh?"
Li Yuan's eyes lit up and he asked:
"So this crop can really produce 10 dan per mu, just like sweet potatoes?"
Zhuang Zhou nodded and said:
“That’s true, but it also depends on the planting conditions and techniques.
Also, you need to apply enough fertilizer.
A good crop depends on good fertilizer! "
No matter how good the crop seeds are, they will yield high yields without fertilizer support.
都是空话!
"A good crop depends entirely on fertilizer?!
Haha, ok, well said! "
Li Yuan was overjoyed when he heard this, and patted the table several times, saying:
"If the Tang Dynasty can widely plant this crop, then wouldn't the people no longer have to worry about food?"
Zhuang Zhou smiled and said:
"That's why potatoes are not only a high-yield crop, but also highly adaptable and can grow in a variety of environments."
"well!"
Li Yuan slammed the table again and looked at Zhuang Zhou with eyes full of admiration and expectation.
I couldn't help but respect Zhuang Zhou a little more.
And Li Er was also very happy.
Come to think of it, he hasn't been this happy in a long time.
All because the emperor is happy.
You know, Li Er has been under tremendous pressure since he ascended the throne.
Most of them come from the emperor.
If I can't be a good emperor, how can I face the people of the world?
How should we face the emperor?
This is the psychological barrier that Li Er has been trying to overcome throughout his life.
And all this is due to Zhuang Zhou's contribution.
He also knew that Zhuang Zhou's arrival in the Tang Dynasty undoubtedly provided a more favorable situation for his own legitimacy.
Or.
As an emperor, his power was granted by God.
And Zhuang Zhou was the witness of all of this.
