PS: I'm a bit free today, there's another chapter around 9pm.

After Li Shimin arrived, the banquet could finally officially begin. The fruits and cold dishes were removed from the banquet table, and all kinds of delicacies that had been prepared were immediately served, especially Li Min's newly invented 'Beggar's Chicken' and roast duck.

The unique fragrance and color attracted the attention of many people as soon as it appeared.

But this is just the beginning. There are already more than a dozen bonfires in the space in the middle of the venue. The barbecue grills have been set up, and the fat sheep with seasonings have been placed on the fire. After a while, a wave of

The rich barbecue aroma wafts out, especially when cumin powder is sprinkled in, that very special aroma stimulates the mouth to water.

In addition to these piles of bonfires, there are more than a dozen strange cauldrons in the venue that are also very eye-catching. These cauldrons are all made of brass, with a base below and a round cauldron above.

In the middle of the pot, there is a tall chimney.

Yes, this is the giant hot pot that Li Min had people build. In fact, it is just a special hot pot enlarged several times from the later generations. This giant hot pot is placed on the table, surrounded by plates of extremely thinly sliced ​​mutton.

, these muttons were frozen in the ice cellar last night, and were cut into pieces by chefs with excellent knife skills when they were eaten, otherwise they would not have been cut so thin.

Although the food was good, it was still in a secondary position in the eyes of those who liked wine. More than half of the people present came here because of the legendary Five Kings.

After the various dishes were served, rows of waiters dressed in white came up with trays. On each tray were wine bottles and several wine glasses. Wherever the waiters passed, a strong aroma of wine spread.

Come on, it made the people around me sniffle non-stop, especially those old drunkards who had no alcohol or joy. They stretched their necks one by one, their noses twitched hard, and their eyeballs almost fell off.

After drinking wine for so many years, this was the first time they smelled such fragrant wine.

This is a finished wine blended with wine heads. Although the wine heads contain a large amount of methanol, after a few days of standing, it has almost evaporated. If it is blended into the wine at this time, it will only make the taste of the wine worse.

of mellow aroma.

"Good wine, good wine!" After Li Shimin smelled the aroma of the wine, he praised him repeatedly. Li Min took it upon himself to pour a glass of wine for Li Shimin from the tray. Of course, the emperor had to drink the first glass of wine.

"Father, this is the fine wine "Five Kings Drunk" brewed by me and all the uncles and brothers. With this first glass of wine, I wish my father a blessing as good as the East China Sea and a longevity as long as the Southern Mountains. I also wish me great success.

The Tang Dynasty lasts for thousands of generations, and the country is forever solid!" Li Min raised his wine glass and saluted Li Shimin.

"Okay, okay! Min'er is really a talented person!" Li Shimin was so frightened by the aroma of the wine and Li Min's flattery that his hair was all over his body. He smiled like a flower and took the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.

"Ha~" It was the first time that Li Shimin drank such a strong drink. He felt like a ball of fire in his throat. But after the fire entered his stomach, it made his whole body feel warm. After that, he felt a kind of difficulty.

The coolness of the words surged into my chest, and the feeling was really indescribable.

"Good wine! Hahahaha~, hurry up and fill it up with all my dear friends. Today, regardless of whether you are a king or a minister, we will not come back until we are drunk!" Li Shimin felt the drunkenness rising, and he once again found the feeling of being on the battlefield when he was young, and he was so excited that he haha

Laughing loudly, letting go of the airs of a king very boldly, I must have a good drink today.

The others couldn't wait for a long time and took the wine glasses from the attendants around them. However, Li Jing's group of generals were even more heroic. They directly grabbed the wine bottle and poured it into their mouths. If you can get Li Shimin's praise for the wine, you must not miss it.

"Pfft~" Not everyone present could adapt to such a strong wine at once. Many people were used to drinking light wine before, but the first sip was a bit too big, and it suddenly felt like there was something in their mouths.

It was like burning charcoal, and the person with poor concentration even spit out the wine he drank in one gulp.

“Good wine!”

“What a strong drink!”

"This wine can only be found in heaven, how many times can we taste it on earth!"

…………

However, more people tasted the uniqueness of this wine. Although everyone's face turned red from choking, they all praised it loudly with excitement on their faces.

"Hahahaha~, this is the wine for men. Compared with it, all wine turns into boiled water!" Another loud voice shouted with laughter. You didn't need to look to know that it was the old rogue Cheng Yaojin. This

The generals all drank from the pot, drinking harder than anyone else, but they choked more miserably than anyone else. Their faces turned purple from holding it in, but no one was willing to spit it out. Li Xiaogong looked at the embarrassment of these people.

, with a smile on his face, he deliberately wanted to see these people make a fool of themselves. In the end, it was Cheng Yaojin who had strong adaptability and was the first to swallow the wine and praised loudly.

"Hahaha~, wine is good, but everyone should eat something first, otherwise you won't be able to last a few drinks!" Li Shimin looked at the blushing faces of the generals, and smiled happily, and greeted everyone to start the banquet.

, Li Min was the first to pounce on the dining table. The surrounding civil and military officials were also unceremonious, and they all rushed over with a roar.

Li Min had been busy all day and didn't eat much. He was already hungry now. He rushed to the dining table and grabbed a plate, picked up the thigh of a beggar's chicken and started chewing on it. The others also followed suit, holding a plate.

Walking around the dining table, picking up the food you like and putting it on your own plate. Although some corrupt people feel that eating like this is a disgrace to politeness, most people feel very free, which is better than before.

A fixed banquet format is much better.

After Li Min had something in his stomach, he looked at Comrade Li and found that Li Shimin was very interested in several new foods. After finishing half of the beggar's chicken, he walked around the roast duck.

The chef had already sliced ​​it, and there were thin noodles, noodle sauce, green onion strips and other side dishes next to it. Unfortunately, Li Shimin didn't know how to eat it, so he only knew how to eat it directly with the crispy duck skin.

Li Min hurriedly stepped forward, dipped the duck skin in the noodle sauce, then spread the noodle sauce on the noodle pancake, and put a few thin scallions on top, wrapped it up and handed it to Li Shimin, saying: "Father,

My Majesty, although this roast duck tastes good, it will feel greasy if you eat too much, but it will be much better if you eat it this way."

"Hahaha~, Zhen'er is really interested!" Li Shimin laughed and took it, then put the wrapped roast duck in his mouth and took a bite. He found that it was much more delicious than eating the roast duck directly. He was very satisfied at the moment.

He nodded, not caring to talk to Li Min. After finishing the roast duck in his hands in two or two bites, he eagerly rolled up the noodles himself. Others followed suit and came up one after another to taste the roast duck.

The duck meat dropped rapidly, and the waiter waiting next to him hurriedly asked someone to bring out another batch.

The roasted whole lamb area has been occupied by Li Xiaogong and his gang of military officers. A group of half-grown old men gathered around several fires, holding mutton in one hand and liquor in the other. The atmosphere was very wild while singing and drinking. The civil servants around them stayed away from them.

Lest anyone get drunk and go crazy and hurt themselves.

A group of civil servants gathered around the mutton-shabu-shabu side. They loved this way of eating the mutton, which can bring out the freshness and tenderness of the mutton, and then dipped in the freshly made sesame sauce. It is absolutely delicious. After getting excited, the group

The literary ministers reciting poems were very lively, and later even Li Shimin joined in.

Seeing that the banquet was on track, Li Min breathed a sigh of relief. Now that he had nothing to do, he could finally eat something in peace. He put a lot of his favorite dishes on his plate, and then served it

He sat down in a corner with a glass of juice and prepared to eat, but before he could take a few bites, someone came to the door.

"Liu Lang, why are you hiding here?" Li Ke led a group of people to find Li Min, pointed at the people behind him with a smile and said, "These are my friends, let me introduce them to you!"

"Brother, meet you brothers!" Li Min stood up in a hurry when he heard this, wiped his mouth and went forward to salute. These people were about the same age as Li Min, but unfortunately none of them knew each other. When these people saw Li Min saluting, they immediately bowed in return.

, many people looked at Li Min with curiosity. They all knew what kind of virtue Li Min was before, but today they seemed to be a different person when they saw him.

"Come on, come on~, this is Qin Huaiyu, the son of Duke Yi, this is Fang Yiai, the son of the prime minister, and this is Li Jingye, the grandson of the British Duke..." Li Ke drank a lot of wine and his face was as red as a monkey.

Like a butt, he giggled while introducing everyone to Li Min, and Li Min kept saying, "Nice to meet you." These people were either the queens of the generals, or the sons of important ministers in the court. That Fang Yi loved Li Min last time.

I've met him before, but I didn't expect that he is actually familiar with Li Ke?

However, when Li Ke introduced Cheng Huailiang, both of them were a little embarrassed, but everyone around them looked like they were watching the show. After all, Cheng Huailiang beat Li Min into amnesia last time. Although it was publicized that Li Min fell because of a mistake,

But everyone here is well-informed, so who doesn’t know what’s going on?

"Okay, okay, what's so embarrassing between these two big men? Didn't they just have a fight last time? This time, I'll give Third Brother some face and drink all the wine in my hand. We'll still be good brothers in the future!" Li

Ke probably drank a lot and said to the two of them while smelling of alcohol.

"Hahaha~, the third brother is right. It was my younger brother who made the mistake last time. Please forgive me, Brother Huailiang!" Li Min also smiled freely, raised his glass and said, "Come, let's meet and share our gratitude."

Qiu', I'd like to give you a toast to my brother!"

"Okay! It's nice to meet each other and let go of grudges with a smile. Since Liu Lang is so forthright, then brothers will stop being pretentious and do it~!" Cheng Huailiang is also a cheerful person. When he saw that Li Min was so bold, he did not refuse at the moment and raised a glass to Li Min.

He drank it in one gulp, and then they both laughed together.

"Hahaha~, others say that Liu Lang has been reborn and has extraordinary literary talent. I didn't believe it at first, but today I saw it and it is indeed well-deserved!" Seeing Li Min and Cheng Huailiang drinking to resolve their grievances, everyone around them cheered loudly, Qin Huaiyu even louder

praise.

Now that the grievances have been resolved, and everyone is young and has many common topics, plus good food and wine to add to the fun, in a short time, Li Min has become one with everyone, and I believe he will soon be recognized by these people.

Only then can I truly integrate into this small circle of top-notch dudes.
Chapter completed!
