The Lu family's banquet was indeed full of pomp and there were a thousand tables, and the food was still flowing. After the meal, the leftovers were removed, and the table of people was immediately served and the dishes were served again. . The fastest update was

A banquet, 20,000 to 30,000 people ate.

That type has quite a side-mounted side.

Even Li Chao, Ping Yang and others have become part of his Lu family's podium today, adding luster to his Lu family.

Li Chao's table of wine and food is delicious, but he doesn't like it very much. The table of people is too hypocritical.

After eating, after drinking some tea, Li Chao chatted with them casually and then returned to Liucheng.

"You sit and drink tea. I'll cook for you. I guess everyone is not full, right?" Li Chao rolled up his sleeves and said to Pingyang, father and others.

Yuchi Gong went to the kang, "This man surnamed Lu is also known as the largest clan in western Liaoning. The man surnamed Lu accounts for 30% of the population of Liucheng County. His mother set up a thousand tables for a meal and invited 20,000 to 30,000 people to eat, but we are the host and guests, but the amount of dishes is so small, so how can we be full? It is not enough to fill the gap between the teeth."

Li Chao went to the kitchen behind with a smile, and Pingyang followed him to take action.

"Just just sit there." Li Chao refused to let Pingyang take action.

"I'm a little afraid of Old General Zhang." Pingyang said.

Li Chao laughed. My father really didn't like Pingyang very much. Although he was very kind on the surface and respected the eldest princess very much. But let alone Pingyang, even Li Chao, even Yuchi Laohei, could tell that my father actually didn't like the eldest princess.

But this is normal. Although Li Xiuning is the emperor's legitimate sister and a famous heroine, Pingyang is also quite unique.

Divorce from her husband and Li Chao are unhappy with Li Chao. But Ping Yang has a noble status, otherwise his father would have come to the door long ago.

It is no longer easy to maintain a seemingly polite person.

"Dad is such a person, you don't have to take it to heart."

Li Xiuning sat directly in front of the stove and began to pick up a ball of pine needles to induce the fire.

"I know what others think of me, how they think about me and you, I can ignore other people's eyes, but the old general is your father."

Li Chao looked at the kitchen and found that the meat was not fresh.

Li Chao picked a fresh tenderloin.

Wash, then cut into large slices, and marinate with seasoning.

Putting the seasoned meat aside, Li Chao sat next to Pingyang and chatted with her.

"Sanlang, I seem to have it."

"Have you got it?" Li Chao suddenly reacted, "Didn't you look for a doctor?"

Ping Yang said, "Look, I said it's been three months."

Li Chao wiped his hand on the apron a few times and reached out to put her lower abdomen.

Pingyang pushed Li Chao's hand away, "It's only three months, and it will take at least five months to show his conceit."

She said while observing the expression on Li Chao's face.

Li Chao was very happy.

There are no big children born.

"Are you happy?"

"Of course I'm happy, this is my kind."

"It's our child." Pingyang corrected.

"Yes, our child." He reached out and touched her still flat belly several times. His belly was still flat, flat and flat, and he even felt the solid muscles of his lower abdomen.

Pingyang actually has a vest line.

"Okay, go and cook, the old general and the others have been waiting for a long time."

Li Chao returned to the stove and coated the marinated slices with batter made of starch, egg white and water.

Without tomatoes, the tomato sauce cannot be fried. Li Chao then made some soybean paste instead, added sugar and salt, stir-fry well, then pour in oil and heat it.

When the oil is cooked to 60 or 70% ripe, Li Chao put the wrapped meat slices into a pan and fry it.

Fry until the surface is golden and the outer skin is crispy.

After frying, leave some hot oil, stir-fry the scallions and ginger, pour in the sauce, stir-fry with the slices of meat, and wait until the slices of meat are wrapped in the sauce, and a pot of pork buns is finished.

The color is bright and the fragrance is attractive.

Li Chao had two more dishes. As soon as the dishes were on the kang table, Lao Dad and Lao Hei directly grabbed the pot and wrapped meat.

This dish looks good in color and has an attractive aroma. It is even sweet and sour when you pick it up.

Both of them couldn't help but give thumbs up and praise.

Li Chao asked Pingyang to sit on the kang together.

He personally picked up several pieces of meat for Pingyang and put it in the bowl in front of her. The father looked at the eyes and the corners of his mouth. Those who didn't know thought it was sucking.

"Dad, let me tell you good news. Pingyang is pregnant and three months old."

Dad was stunned.

After a while, four words came out, "What are you going to do?"

"Of course I was born."

The father asked, "Will the child be born with a surname Li?" Then he suddenly thought that Li Xiuning's surname was Li, and the father and the two of them had already changed their surnames Li, so if the child was born with a surname, it would not be Li.

"Where will this child be raised?" He changed his question.

Pingyang sat upright, and she didn't show any princess airs in front of her father.

"Dad, I will raise the child when he is born."

The father called him, and his face was a little red and swollen. It was not right, nor was it right. Finally, thinking that the child was about to give birth, he simply sighed and stopped saying anything more.

"I can't care about your affairs, but I only have one requirement. If you give birth to a boy, you must let him recognize his ancestors and remember them in the genealogy of the Li family on the Bashang."

Pingyang nodded with a smile. In her opinion, this was her father-in-law’s greatest recognition.

Li Chao also said, "If it's a boy, it's Li Balang, if it's a girl, it's Li Siniang. Whether it's a man or a woman, it's my Li Chao's species, and I like it all."

But my father just stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a piece of pork bun, "Don't rush to make this happen. If the girl is born at that time, don't bring it home."

This is a saying that favors boys over girls, but in fact, I think about it carefully that my father is also good for Pingyang. Since having a girl is not included in the genealogy, there is no need to take her home, so that Cui Yingying will be dissatisfied with causing trouble at that time. After all, having a lover outside is a different matter of having an illegitimate child outside. And having an illegitimate child even has to take her home, which is even more different.

Pingyang nodded at the end.

Even if this matter was reached, no one would mention it anymore and they would eat the food like a wind and cloud.

Although the ingredients of the Lu family are rare and the chef is good, the only disadvantage is that the ingredients are too small. Each dish is just a little bit, and everyone here is considered an immediate general. No one has a small appetite. Even Pingyang can eat three bowls of it at a meal.

The Lu family is exquisite in eating, but it cannot satisfy Li Chao and the others' stomachs.

The pot and pork were delicious. Several people ate two more bowls of rice and ate all the dishes. Only then did they get a separate separator with satisfaction.

"Wen Yuan, why didn't you move this Goguryeo dog thief?" Yuchi Gong's belly was round and he sat there with satisfaction and patted his stomach.

It has been a bit of a day to recover western Liaoning, but until now, the Liao River is extremely quiet.

As soon as the western Liaoning was recovered, Li Chao had already stationed troops by the Liao River, and even sent scouts to cross the Liao River to the east bank of the Liao River to inquire about military information.

I thought that when the Goguryeo people knew that the fall of western Liaoning would definitely come and compete.

But in fact, the Goguryeo people in Liaodong had no response, which was surprisingly inexplicable.

"From the information we collected, Quangai Suwen was defeated too suddenly and too miserably. The 50,000 troops were wiped out, and no one was left. We marched into western Liaoning too quickly. Before they could react, they let us recover western Liaoning. At this time, the Goguryeo people in Liaodong were still confused."

Li Chao analyzed, "The Liao army is actually not many on the east bank of the Liao River. There are hundreds of mountain cities along the river, and there are a lot of troops. If the people and the tribe are summoned, 200,000 people will not be a problem. However, now they have no leader and lack a person who can really make a decision. The Goguryeo court has not yet reacted."

So, it is not that Goguryeo is afraid, but that no one is in charge of the front line, and the rear may not know the situation here. Therefore, Goguryeo can only sit there now and have no reaction.

This situation is quite good for Li Chao.

After Gao Jianwu grasped the situation here, even if he wanted to compete for western Liaoning, he would take a lot of time to organize troops and raise money and grain.

By then, summer will begin.

It is rainy in summer, and there is a swamp area of ​​more than 200 miles long on the west bank of the Liao River. The rivers everywhere are also flood seasons, so this is not a good time to send troops to fight.

By autumn, it was half a year later, and Li Chao had already established a foothold in western Liaoning.

"So that's why the Goguryeo people can't come for a while. If they want to come, they have to come after autumn?" Yuchi Gong didn't look happy when he heard this conclusion, but was a little disappointed.

My father seemed a little disappointed. He came with 20,000 volunteer soldiers and died in battle. He was still angry and wanted to seek revenge on the Goguryeo people.

"There will be no war for now, so let's be idle here?" asked the father.

"That's what I plan. General Yuchi returned to Youzhou to take charge. He still had to guard the Yanshan line to prevent the Turks from attacking again."

"Where are me?" the father asked, "There are still volunteer soldiers?"

"I have already asked the court to organize the volunteer soldiers into the government soldiers. If the court passes, then the ten thousand volunteer soldiers will be directly organized into more than ten Zhechong Mansions, and set them up in western Liaoning to divide the land and give them land. At that time, they can also move their families."

My dad was quite satisfied with this arrangement, "Not bad."

It is quite good to be a soldier in the palace. Originally, these volunteer soldiers were not qualified to select soldiers in the palace. In this era, being a soldier was not a thief-coming army, but being a soldier was a rare opportunity for ordinary people, even many children of landlords, to make their debut.

Being a soldier is progress.
