Chapter 18 (2/2)

Seeing that Li Zhong was honest and cowardly, the Western Turk emissary poured a glass of wine for Li Zhong with a wine pot and said, ”here, I'd like to offer you a toast to your Highness the prince.”Li Zhong had no choice but to take the cup and drink it. As soon as he put down the cup, he saw the Western Turkic emissary grabbing a piece of meat on the table beside him and said, ”the Tang Dynasty is a country of etiquette and civilization. It follows the law of nature. Why should we use two sticks to eat? Is this not against human instinct, forgetting the essence of Taoism and nature, and losing the etiquette and civilization we should have? Therefore, your Highness Prince, you should also give up using those chopsticks. Using your hands is a noble way to eat. ”

Li ruzhong doesn't know if the chopsticks are in good hands.

”Really? Can you eat anything Li Hong didn't know when he ran to the prince. Lying on Li Zhong's shoulder and looking at the emissary below, Li Hong asked with his lazy smile on his face.

Li Zhi and Wu Mei, who were originally dignified, were relieved to see Li Hong suddenly come out. They could not say why. At the same time, they thought that the prince would not lose face in front of the public.

At the same time, Wu Mei glared at Hua Meng who was not far away from Li Hong, as if to say: ”how to release this skin monkey.”

”That is, no matter what kind of food you eat, there is no more noble than using your hands.” The West Turk emissary said boldly without knowing whether he was dead or alive, and another Guizi emissary nodded with agreement.

”Well, it happens that today I have prepared new meals for my father, emperor and empress mother. I'll ask you to show me how to eat with your hands.” Li Hong has no bones in general, hanging on Li Zhong's shoulder.

Li Zhi, Wu Mei, Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong in the court hall, and changsun Wuji, who had always been the old God, were shocked when they heard Li Hong's words. They could not help but look at this side. They were all wondering what was wrong with Dai Wang's heart.

”Ha ha OK. The king's order is obeyed by the minister. ”

”Summer solstice, when it's ready, bring it up.” Li HongChong Hua Meng said.

When Huameng heard this, he hurried back. In a short time, he saw grain of grain, summer solstice, Xiaoxue, Xiaohan and Huameng came in with a plate.

On top of everyone's plate was a delicate brass hot pot, and a few small plates and a small bowl, which contained all kinds of raw meat, and the contents of the bowl were like seasonings. Hotpot has already existed. This is Li Hong's modified hotpot, which is easier to eat and easier to eat than before.

The water inside the copper hotpot is bubbling and bubbling at the moment. The steam rises from the copper hot pot into the air. Now, as long as the meat in the delicate small plate is put into the hot pot, it can be eaten.

Hua Meng put a hot pot on the table of Prince Li Zhong, while others gave it to Li Zhi and Wu Mei, Chang Sun Wu Ji and Zhu suiliang.

Li Hong chuckled and picked up his chopsticks. He watched them all. Wu Mei and Li Zhi, as well as other courtiers, sighed helplessly. Seeing the hot pot, he knew that the little guy was going to cheat again. It's a pity that this little thing can think of it. What's in this little head? He can think of such a damaging move.

Li Hongsheng sparsely picked up his chopsticks and stirred the meat in the small plate into the hot pot, while he said to Li Zhi and Wu Mei, ”my father and my mother, my son's ministers want you to have a taste of this meat today. It happens that you will have a taste of this meat. They are experts in eating meat. Naturally, they can taste the quality of the meat at once.”

For a short time, Wu Mei has not figured out how to say something to stop Li Hong from making such a fuss on foreign envoys. However, Li Zhi, who was slow to respond, sent a god mending knife for the foreign emissary and said, ”it's so good. It's hard for hong'er to express his mind. You should have a taste of the meat.”

The West Turk emissary, the Guizi emissary and other envoys felt bad at the first sight of the hot pot. Now take a look at the boiling hot and bubbling water inside. Especially when Li Hong put the meat into the pot with chopsticks, he already knew that he had been cheated by the king Dai. When he was thinking about how to refuse, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty was even more cruel and ordered them to have a taste of it?! Suddenly, their faces became more ugly than the faces of the dead. They looked at each other and did not know what to do.

Li Hong almost fell off Li Zhong's shoulder with a smile when he heard Li Zhi's words. Thanks to Li Zhong's quick eye and quick hand, he helped him.

”Come on, there's still fresh seasoning. It's a secret recipe made by the royal family. You can't eat such a delicious hot pot anywhere else.” Li Hong usually uses spoons. He doesn't use chopsticks easily. But he has to use them well in front of envoys from all over the world.

As if even God was helping him, Li Hong strangely put a piece of meat into the seasoning bowl for the first time. After dipping in a few ingredients, he chewed a piece of meat into his stomach.

Then looking at the two red faced messengers, they said, ”come on, in your most noble way, try to see if our hot pot in Datang is very delicious. Of course, you can also buy some of our hot pot of Datang and bring it back to your country for brushing and eating.”

Guizi emissary looked at the boiling hot water and clenched his fists tightly with his hands on both sides. He had intended to embarrass the prince of the Tang Dynasty, but he was baffled by the three or four year old boy.He stood there embarrassed, and did not know what to do. The West Turk emissary was also embarrassed. After a few moments of silence, he said: ”it's natural that such hot water can't be done. Who can put his hand into the boiling oil pan to get something?”

”I can.” The meat in Li Hong's mouth has not yet been chewed clean. Once again, his words are not surprising. He has to fight with you to the end.

”Er...” The two envoys almost fainted by Li Hong's words.
