"Your Majesty, I have prepared fried steak for Your Majesty and Your Majesty."

Li Shimin asked with a smile, "I only need to be familiar with you, you are not wrong."

"Of course." Li Chao smiled and handed over a fried steak that was cooked.

The prince also smiled at Li Chao, but his smile was a little bit reluctant. The conversation just now still had some impact on him, "I want to be familiar with it."

"I remember, I'll give you the steak that is cooked in seven centimeters."

Li Chao sat down with his own portion.

What he gave himself was a three-quarter cooked steak. He picked up a knife and cut it open. The cooked meat on both sides was brown, and the pink color was exposed to the center. The center was fresh meat color. When the knife cut through the center, blood oozed out with the knife cut.

Li Chao used the freshest beef, and the fried steak is thicker. Generally, frozen beef and thin steak can have this effect. Although it looks quite lustful, the meat is actually cooked, but it has not produced much appearance changes. The closer it is to the inside, the redder it becomes, but this is very different from raw meat and has the most tender taste.

When Li Shimin eats five-quarters of cooked food, the mouth feels more balanced, and there is no blood inside, but light gray. When Prince eats seven-quarters of cooked food, the steak is mainly light gray-brown, mixed with a small amount of red, the texture is more thick and chewy.

The emperor skillfully cut the steak with a knife, forked it up and dipped it in a bit of black pepper sauce and put it into his mouth.

After chewing for a few times, Li Shimin nodded with great satisfaction.

This kind of steak frying technique is the most authentic and the most delicious. Ordinary chefs can easily get old, especially this sauce, which is also the best for Li Chao.

The prince was also very satisfied with the food and was reluctant to speak.

Li Chao was also very satisfied with the food. There have been so many things happening today. It is also a great pleasure to be able to eat a delicious and tender steak to reward yourself.

"I'm very surprised. You never eat fish sashimi, but you eat fried steak, but you only eat this bloody three-quarter cooked food. Why is that?"

Li Chao slowly cut the steak and said, "Your Majesty, you have always had a misunderstanding of three-quarter cooked steak. You see the 3-quarter cooked steak with blood in it. In fact, this is just because the fried time is short, so the meat is cooked, but the color has not changed much. But the fish sashimi is different, and the fish sashimi is completely sashimi."

"What's wrong with sashimi? Sashimi is delicious, but raw beef is different. At least sashimi tastes bloodless."

In Li Shimin's view, eating raw meat and drinking blood is a sign of relatively barbaric.

But in Li Chao's opinion, it is different.

Sashimi is completely raw and is prone to parasites. It is easy to get sick after eating it, and it will die. But the steak that is cooked with blood looks like it is cooked, and there will be no parasites, and it will not be dangerous after eating it. Just like Li Chao usually does not drink raw water. He would rather drink cold water during the day than raw water because there will be bacteria, parasites, etc. in the raw water, but it will not be cool.

"I still like to eat fish sashimi, but I won't try these three-point cooked steaks." Li Shimin said stubbornly.

Li Chao also smiled and said, "Well, I like three-point cooked steak, but I won't fall in love with fish sashimi."

"Hahaha!"

Li Shimin laughed, "It seems that the two of us are very similar in some places, and they are both very stubborn."

"That's called persistence. If you recognize something, you won't change your mind easily. This is actually an excellent quality of a successful person. Only by persevering can you succeed."

"Okay, just by your perseverance, it is worth my drink. Come on, I will use tea instead of wine, let's have a drink!" Li Shimin picked up the tea.

Li Chao also picked up the teacup, "Take tea instead of wine, I will do it first!"

On the last day of the first year of Zhenguan, on New Year's Eve, the sound of firecrackers outside even exceeded that of previous years. Gunpowder came out, and Li Chao also gave the Li family a fireworks and firecracker workshop.

Under the night, firecrackers exploded and fireworks took off, making this New Year's Eve of the first year of Zhenguan particularly beautiful.

In the hall of the Li family, there was a prime minister and ministers who had never seen the emperor and Li Chao come out. The wine and food had already come up, and the eunuch Wang came over to pass on the message.

Your Majesty, Premier Li and the Crown Prince are discussing matters, and Your Majesty asks the ministers to eat first.

The Supreme Emperor left, and the Emperor was not there. The Empress, the Princess and the Li family's female relatives, held a banquet in the backyard. There was less restraint in the hall. Under the leadership of the prime ministers, the civil and military officials began the most special New Year's Eve banquet.

In the process of cup preparations, the three or five civil officials or a few nobles could not help but talk about Li Chao. Today, the emperor's sense of protection towards Li Chao is envious.

Everyone was expecting that Li Chao finally agreed to the emperor as the Shangshu Ling. They didn't believe that Li Chao would really not be willing to be the Shangshu Ling, or that he could not be the Shangshu Ling.

But in this way, Li Chao will become the Shangshu Ling in the future and become one of the three giants in the court.

"I finally agreed to come out after a long call. "Ma Zhou, Cen Wenben, Xu Jingzong, Zhu Suiliang, and Li Shousu sat at a table.

Looking at the hall, it is almost the same. Because the banquet is held by the Li family, the banquet of the Li family is not as good as the banquet of the imperial court, and the banquet is arranged according to the rank of officials. The banquet of the Li family is relatively simpler and easier.

Because the Li family’s banquet is in a buffet format, with wine, dishes and dim sum in the middle and tables on both sides. You can pick up the dishes and fruits and dim sums you want to eat, etc., and then three or five familiar people sit at the table, eating, drinking and chatting.

This type of buffet is often held by the Li family, and it is not restricted and makes it lively.

Ma Zhou, Cen Wenben, Xu Jingzong, Li Shousu, Zhu Suiliang and others have one common feature. First, they are all relatively young, and second, they were all bachelors of the Hanlin Academy before, and of course they still have one more important thing in common, that is, they have all served under Li Chao.

Even they have worked together, so they will sit together and chat while eating and having a good atmosphere.

"If Li Xiang doesn't come out, why are the people in the world?" Xu Jingzong said with a chuckle.

They used to be under Li Chao, but now, Ma Zhou, who has the closest relationship with Li Chao, has now become the Minister of Revenue, and has also added a title of Pingzhang under his colleague and became the prime minister. The difference between them is far.

"Ma Xiangguo, I heard that the court was going to build a new firearm prison and a Shenji camp?" Xu Jingzong asked. He was originally from the Qin King's Bachelor's Mansion, but later he entered the Hanlin Academy and followed Li Chao to serve in Longyou. Later, he became the governor. His official career was quite good.

This year, he was transferred back to the court, but in the autumn, because of an accident, he said something he shouldn't say after getting drunk, and was impeached by the censor, and was dismissed from his post.

Although Xu Jingzong still has a founding marquis and a third-rank original, he has no duty. Today he came here to have a banquet. He originally wanted to meet his old boss Li Chao to see if Li Chao could help him arrange an official position. However, he had never had the chance to talk to Li Chao, so he would beg him again.

Ma Zhou had a pretty good impression of Xu Jingzong. Although this person sometimes welcomed him, he had good skills in doing things. If it weren't for being impeached and removed from office after drinking this year, he would probably be at least a minister of the minister or a minister of a certain temple now.

Ma Zhou was not surprised when talking about firearm surveillance.

Duke Li Chao of Zhao invented gunpowder and then shone brightly when he fought against the Turks in Loufanguan, making a lot of contributions to destroying the 100,000 Turkic soldiers.

The newly invented gunpowder actually has such a effect. Of course, the court attached great importance to it, especially the emperor who conquered the world immediately and attached more importance to this new weapon.

Now the imperial court has listed sulfur and nitrate as the court's strategic materials. These two minerals are not allowed to be mined privately. The two minerals are strictly prohibited from being bought and sold at will, and they are also prohibited from flowing out of national borders and are not allowed to be owned in large quantities in private areas.

The court also needs to establish special institutions, firearm supervision, specialize in the production of gunpowder and processing them into grenades, rockets, mines and other gunpowder weapons.

Moreover, the emperor also intended to build a unit specifically used firearms, the name was Shenji Camp.

The Shenji Camp is under the Northern Yai, but not the Shence or Yulin armies, but formed an army alone. Although the scale is not as large as that of Shence and Yulin armies, the emperor also attaches great importance to it. If the army is trained to form, the effect will be good, the Shenji Camp may become the Shenji Army, or the left and right Shenji Army.

"Why, Brother Yan is interested in firearm surveillance?"

Xu Jingzong has been planning a comeback recently, but the important yamen in the court are all a carrot and a pit, so there is no place to easily. Now a new firearm surveillance is set up, and the surveillance surveillance is said to be the same as the military surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surveillance surve

After all, this is also a yamen leader, especially this yamen is very important to the emperor. If you can achieve some results, it will be easy to be promoted at that time.

"Mr. Ma knows that I am now idle at home and do nothing, so I also hope to contribute to the court." Xu Jingzong said with a smile.

Cen Wenben said to Xu Jingzong, "This matter is, you are looking for the wrong person when you look for Ma Xiang. This firearm surveillance was originally placed under the military surveillance, but it was just the Firearm Bureau. Later, Li Xiang proposed that the firearm is very important, and Your Majesty attached great importance to it. He wanted to set up a firearm surveillance separately and establish a Shenji Camp. Therefore, if you want to be the first supervisor of this firearm surveillance, then you should go to Li Xiang. As long as you can convince Li Xiang and come up with a plan to manage the firearm surveillance well, I believe Li Xiang will definitely support and recommend you. With Li Xiang's recommendation, this firearm surveillance must be you."

After hearing this, Xu Jingzong hurriedly thanked Cen Wenben.

"Thank you for your advice from Cen Sheren, but I hope that Cen Sheren and Gun Ma will beat and drum more and say a few good words for me."
Chapter completed!
