"Haha~, it's better to come sooner than you're a coincidence. I smelled the fragrance outside the door. I wonder if I could ask General Ma for a piece of mutton?" At this time, a clear voice sounded outside the door, and then Li Shimin walked in with two people. One of them was very young on the left, with a white face and smile on his face, which seemed very kind. On the right was a tall and thin yellow-faced general who didn't look very strong, but when he walked, he was so arrogant that his eyes were even more angry that he was afraid to look at him.

"Your Highness King Qin is so polite. I didn't expect Your Highness to come. It's really a mistake to welcome him. If Your Highness doesn't dislike you, then sit down and taste the skills of Master Li and I!" Ma hurried forward and saluted. He Panren and others naturally stood up and saluted, but Li Xiu was a little slandered that a good meal would probably be disturbed by Li Shimin.

"Haha, I think it's General Ma who is so polite. This is the first time I smell such a fragrant mutton, so I came uninvited!" Li Shimin laughed again. He seemed to be born with a leader temperament. When he appeared, everyone became a supporting role. Li Xiu asked himself that he didn't have such ability, which made him even more unhappy.

At that time, Mr. Ma asked Li Shimin and the other two to sit down and personally served them mutton. There were not so many vain gifts in the army, even Li Shimin was no exception, so everyone started eating immediately. As a result, everyone was almost stunned for a moment as soon as the mutton was put into their mouths, and then they started to chew on them.

"What a delicious and tender mutton. How did I make it? I have never eaten such delicious mutton." Li Shimin said with admiration after taking a few bites. He just praised the fragrance of mutton, and there was some reason for his politeness, but now he is sincerely praising it.

"Haha, I have to ask Li Zhengwei, this time he's here to take charge!" Mr. Ma smiled and pointed at Li Xiu. It's not embarrassing for men in the army to make some food occasionally, and they may even be more popular because of this, but they must not praise him for his good cooking skills. After all, cooks are a cheap business. In the Tang Dynasty, except for real cooks, no man would be willing to be praised for his good cooking skills.

"Oh? I didn't expect Li Zhengwei to have this trick. I wonder if there is any secret solution to this mutton?" Li Shimin also looked at Li Xiu with interest. Since he discovered that Li Xiu was a rare talent, Li Shimin has also changed his previous contempt. At this time, his tone and expression of speaking had treated Li Xiu as an equal person.

"Haha, it's not a secret. It's nothing more than not adding salt when cooking meat. When the meat is about to be out of the pot, add salt to taste. This way the mutton is the most tender!" Li Xiu explained with a smile. After saying that, he continued to lower his head and eat his mutton. If it was not necessary, he really didn't want to pay attention to Li Shimin, so as not to accidentally get on his pirate ship.

However, Li Xiu didn't want to pay attention to him, but he wanted to talk to him. Li Shimin smiled again at this time, "Person Li, you are proficient in medical skills at a young age, and I heard General Ma say that you actually know the art of farming and triads such as bean sprouts, and even an ordinary cooking mutton will become very different when you are in your hands. I wonder where you learned these things?"

"This..." Li Xiu was most afraid and hates others asking this question the most because he was an honest person in nature, but this question forced him to lie, which made him even more resentful to Li Shimin. In the end, he had to answer helplessly, "Your Highness the King of Qin praised him. In fact, his medical skills are very ordinary, but he just had some experience in external trauma. But if you ask me to treat others now, I am afraid I can't even cure the small cold. The way to produce bean sprouts is also to solve the problem of food and clothing, and it is even more worth mentioning when cooking mutton."

Li Xiu said all the truth, but Li Shimin didn't believe it at all. Instead, he thought he was humble. He smiled again and said, "Person Li should not be too arrogant. I have seen many young heroes, but there are not many people as outstanding as Captain Li. Speaking of which, I am about the same age as Captain Li, so I can walk around more in the future!"

"Thank you for your kindness!" Life is like a play, all depends on acting. Although Li Xiu showed a look of fear and fear on his face at this time, he secretly curled his lips.

Although Li Shimin was the final winner, Li Shimin was actually at a disadvantage in the early battles. After all, Li Jiancheng was the crown prince. As the saying goes, it would be unsatisfactory to the words. Therefore, before the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Li Shimin and his subordinates were greatly suppressed, and even some of his confidants were transferred to other places to be officials. Li Xiu considered himself a small person and did not want to be a hero who became a dragon, nor did he want to experience the ups and downs of life. It was true that he could live his own little life with peace of mind. Therefore, he was disdainful of Li Shimin's obvious win over.

Although Li Shimin was extremely smart, he could not see his passionate alienation when facing Li Xiu, an old monster who had been a man of two lives, so he chatted with him enthusiastically. In fact, it was all very ordinary words, such as asking about Li Xiu's age and hobbies, etc.

"Your Highness, I don't have any special hobbies. I usually eat and drink. Maybe it's because of this that I have a lot of experience in cooking. For example, I invented a kind of cooking that has a unique flavor compared to cooking. If you have the chance, you can ask Your Highness to taste it." Li Xiu suddenly smiled brightly and said, since Li Shimin values ​​himself so much, it's better to show more, such as cooking skills, which are looked down upon.

"Cooking skills?" Li Shimin was indeed stunned by Li Xiu, who was not aware of the common sense, and was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to follow up.

Seeing Li Shimin's confused look, Li Xiu was excited and said excitedly: "Cooking is the art of kitchen. As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for ordinary people. The purpose of cooking is to make people feel comfortable and happy. A good chef makes dishes, aroma and taste are essential. It's a coincidence that today, in addition to mutton, I also prepared another staple food."

Li Xiu stood up and came to Ma Ye's room to bring out a basin. At this time, the mutton had been eaten up, leaving only a pot of mutton soup. This was left by Li Xiu. He increased the heat and let the mutton soup boil again. Then Li Xiu lifted the white cloth on the basin, grabbed a ball of noodles dipped in oil, and pulled the noodles into the belt width and threw them into the pot. The white noodles rolled up and down in the milky white mutton soup, and looked like they had appetite.

Li Xiu made the Central Plains braised noodles, which were later known as the top ten Chinese noodles. The essence of this noodles is all in the soup. Before, he actually didn't need to add seasoning when cooking mutton. He just needed to cook white water and add salt. However, he added seasonings in advance in order to make the mutton soup more delicious, so that the braised noodles made in this way are delicious.

Thousands of noodles were thrown into the pot, and the side dishes for the braised noodles were also put in. However, due to the limitations of conditions, there was no kelp, coriander and chili oil, common in braised noodles in later generations, only shredded tofu and some dried vegetables. This made Li Xiu quite regretful. Fortunately, the sheep was very plump and ate all natural forage, which was far from comparable to the sheep raised by artificial feed in later generations, and it also made up for some shortcomings.

The noodles were prepared soon, and Li Xiu personally served them to everyone present. Because he did not expect that Li Shimin and the other three would come, the noodles were prepared a little bit less, but the mutton soup was enough. Each of them served a large bowl of sea. After Ma Ye and others tasted the noodles, they all cheered loudly. The noodles had appeared in the Tang Dynasty and were called soup cakes, but the soup cakes were made in a single way and the taste was far from comparable to the noodles carefully prepared by Li Xiu.

"Why don't Your Highness eat it? Is the stewed noodles you make are not in line with your highness's appetite?" Li Xiu saw Li Shimin staring at the stewed noodles in front of him with a confused look on his face, and then stepped forward with a sincere look on his face and asked, but in secret he had already laughed and the person in his heart suddenly turned into a cook, just like the goddess in **silk's eyes suddenly turned into a prostitute. This huge gap is probably not something that ordinary people can bear.

"Huh?" Li Shimin finally woke up when he heard Li Xiu's words. He couldn't help but feel good, so he had to smile bitterly and taste the noodles. As a result, he showed a more entangled expression on his face and said, "It tastes very good!"

Perhaps Li Xiu had a great blow to Li Shimin. Our King of Qin was still unable to accept the reality for a while. Then he finally stopped annoying Li Xiu. This made him finally breathe a sigh of relief. He immediately turned his attention to the two people who came with Li Shimin. Since these two people could follow Li Shimin, they must be famous figures in history.

With a curiosity about historical figures, Li Xiu immediately approached the young man who looked very kind and looked very kind. This man looked easy to talk to, so he took the initiative to speak: "I have invited this brother, I don't know what you call him?"

"I'm Gongsun Wuji!" The young man put down the big bowl in his hand and introduced himself with a greasy smile.

"Uh? Eat slowly, there's not enough!" Li Xiu said and left. This guy was not only Li Shimin's brother-in-law, but also his good friend. He is said to be a scheming and ruthless guy. He planned the Xuanwu Sect change by himself, so he should stay away from such people.

Finally, Li Xiu's eyes turned to the yellow-faced general on the right of Li Shimin. Since he came in, this person had never left Li Shimin three steps away. Even when he was having a meal, he was still alert. When Li Xiu talked to Li Shimin just now, he felt that the other party had been staring at him. It seemed that this person was not only a general in the army, but also responsible for Li Shimin's safety. Being able to bear such responsibilities must be someone Li Shimin absolutely trusted.
