The few of them should be drinking for a long time, and they can't go back to eat in a short time.

  "Thank you for your reward!!" Zhou Xiang's face was full of joy. Seeing how good they were eating, Zhou Xiang and the others who were watching from the side were already greedy.

  What they were looking forward to most with Young Master Lu Xiu was to be able to taste Young Master Lu Xiu's food.

  As Li Yuan's guard, Wu He held the sliced ​​fish, chewed it slowly, and tasted the deliciousness of the fish carefully, for fear that the fish in his hand would be eaten in one bite. .

Chapter 10

  "Miss Yuyao, you are thirsty. Do you want something to drink?" After filling them up, Lu Xiu turned to look at his future wife, Li Yuyao.

  "Little friend Lu, how could a serious girl drink." Li Yuan said.

  "Yeah. Not to mention such a strong wine, even I can't drink much. Yuyao is afraid that he can't drink a cup." At this time, Li Xiaogong began to stammer, obviously a little drunk.

  Speaking of enjoyment, Li Xiaogong, King of Hejian County, is not bad.His temperament is extravagant and forthright, and in his later years, there were even more than [-] singers and dancers in the back room.

  For Lu Xiu to marry several wives, in his opinion, it is not a problem at all.

  "Hehe, you misunderstood me, how could I let her drink, I gave her juice." Under their surprised gaze, the orange liquid poured out.

  "juice?"

  The two do not know why.

  "It was squeezed out of oranges. I don't know what oranges are? Well, you can understand them as the cousins ​​of oranges." Lu Xiu explained.

  "Master Lu, I want to drink." Li Yuyao began to look forward to it. .

  Whatever Lu Xiu took out was very novel, it was all things she had never heard of.

  "Bring some to the old man, and the old man will taste it to see what it tastes like." Li Yuan shouted.

  "You can taste it, but drinking can't quench your thirst." Li Xiaogong snorted.

  Lu Xiu poured the juice down with a smile, and the bamboo tubes were filled with orange juice.

  "Gollum."

  "Tsk tsk, it's not great, it's not as good as the milk tea in the morning yesterday, and it can't be compared with Maotai at all."

  "It's good to quench your thirst."

  After tasting it, it was not the taste that Li Xiaogong and the other two liked very much.

  "Haha, sweet and sour, girls should like it." Lu Xiu said.

  Li Yuyao took a sip carefully, and the next moment, her eyes sparkled and she looked at Lu Xiu, "Yeah. I... I think it's delicious."

  Especially when the fruit acid of the orange is set off, the sweetness of the tuna sashimi is even higher.

  …………

  "Whoosh!"

  Two hours later, the two old men Li Xiaogong and Li Yuan fell into a state of drunkenness on the grass. Lu Xiu was also half-drunk. The three of them drank more than five pounds of Maotai.

  Admiring the scenery and tasting the wine is indeed a pleasure.

  If it wasn't for the amount of alcohol that he had trained in his previous life, Lu Xiu would have found that he almost couldn't beat them.

  "Master Lu, how to arrange them." Zhou Xiang said.

  "No way, move them to Luzhuang first and wait until they wake up." Lu Xiu instructed.

  Wu He smiled bitterly in his heart, how to persuade the Emperor Taishang to return to the palace, became his mind.

  The Emperor Taishang tried every means to stay in Luzhuang to eat and drink successfully, how could he be easily persuaded by him.

  Now, he can only truthfully report the situation of the Emperor Taishang to His Majesty.

  "Don't say it's too high, now I'm afraid the Hejian King doesn't want to leave. Having said that, the fish sauce just now is really delicious. I don't know how delicious that strong wine will be."

  In Wu He's heart, he understood a little why Li Yuan stayed, and he tasted the fish sauce once, which gave him an unforgettable experience for most of his life.I don't know how the owner of Villa Lu Xiu can change such delicious food.

  …………

  Chang'an City, Tai Chi Palace.

  Li Er, who was dealing with political affairs, received a report from Wu He again.

  After all, it is related to his father, so Li Er is naturally very concerned.Especially for Li Yuan's safety, he only brought Wu He as an escort, what if something happened.

  "What's the matter, the Prince of Hejian is willing to marry the Lord of Yuyao to that Lu Xiu?"

  Li Er was secretly surprised. He knew Li Yuyao's condition very well. He once sent the imperial doctor in the palace to help him heal, but he was helpless.The imperial doctor had told him that she should not live to be nineteen years old.

  If you marry her and go home, her death is the next thing, and because the corpse is extremely contagious, it may even cause the family to contract the corpse disease, and it is possible for the whole family to die.

  "What kind of person is that Lu Xiu, why is the Prince of Hejian also stranded in Anping County, and what kind of unpredictable ability does he possess?"

  In the information he collected, Lu Xiu used to be average, just an ordinary little landlord.

  Since last month, the news of exchanging locusts for food has caused a violent response in Anping County.

  And in front of him, he actually turned a stone into gold, changing countless food to treat the victims.

  In addition, he actually possessed the medical skills to treat corpses. He said that he was sure to treat the disease of the county master, so the king of Hejian promised to marry his daughter to him.

  In his opinion, contracting a corpse can only be done by sitting and waiting for death, and there is no possibility of any treatment at all.

  "One day I will take the time to go meet him for a while and see if I can recruit him to work for the Tang Dynasty, and by the way, I can take the Emperor Taishang back along the way.".

Chapter 11

  The next day, the sky was not completely bright, and Li Er, who had gone to the morning court, was busy with his work and wanted to see his queen first, because she was seven months pregnant!

  Although it is already her fourth child, Li Er is still very concerned.

  After Datang faced a drought last year, followed by a locust plague, Datang panicked and the economy was in depression.The news that the queen is pregnant and expecting to give birth made him feel like a rainy season after a long drought, and he was comforted in his heart.

  "Your Majesty, the Empress went to the Royal Garden for a walk, do you want to move to the Royal Garden?" The eunuch's report made Li Er stop.

  "Forget it, I won't bother her anymore. That being the case, I plan to go out of the palace to see the Emperor Taishang today. He has been away from the palace for three days, and I don't know what the situation is."

  Including his minister Li Xiaogong, who didn't come to the morning court today, he was speechless, how could Xiaogong stay in Anping County and not want to come back?

  What kind of magical place is there in Luzhuang, Anping County, a dozen miles away from Chang'an City?

  This time, when he left the palace, Li Er planned to visit in a micro-clothing, and only brought a dozen personal guards with him.If you come as an emperor, I am afraid that it will disturb the tranquility of Anping County.

  It took almost an hour for Li Er to ride on the carriage for a journey of more than ten miles.

  What I saw and heard in Anping County was exactly the same as what Wu He reported. The people were not afraid of locusts, and even actively caught them for fun.

  "The locusts are exchanged for food, even if the family has a million dollars, it is not enough to spend." Li Er believed a little in his heart.

  To know the drought and the locust plague, he did not dare to let the Tang Dynasty's grain depot to help the people, because it couldn't last for a long time.

  The news that Li Er inquired about started ten days ago. The daily consumption of tens of thousands of people in Anping County alone would cost at least [-] kilograms of gruel!

  He followed the people and soon came to the door of Luzhuang.

  In the crowded yard, I happened to see Wu He, who was guarding the Emperor Taishang.He was about to kneel down and salute, but was stopped by Li Er.

  "Wu He, where are the Emperor Taishang and the others?" Li Er asked.

  "Your Majesty, Lu Xiu, the owner of Lu Zhuang, has always slept until he woke up naturally. In addition, I drank too much yesterday, and I could only wake up after seeing the sun rise. Your Majesty, do you need to wake them up to meet the driver? "Wu Hedao.

  "No, this visit in micro-clothing is mainly to invite the Supreme Emperor to return to the palace, and don't make any troubles. It's okay to ask me to wait for a while. It's just embarrassing for those people, they probably started waiting before dawn. "Li Er pointed to the people who were waiting in long queues to exchange food.

  "Actually, I don't blame Mr. Lu. Mr. Lu came out on time every day to open the warehouse to change grains. But in order to exchange some grains, many people even waited for a day, and then did not go back at night, and just waited until the next day's dawn. "Wu Hedao.

  Li Er asked an old man in the queue, and learned that the other party had been queuing outside for three days and three nights, and that he came from Chang'an County, which is more than [-] miles away.

  From the mouths of the common people, Li Er understood that the few catties of food they exchanged from Luzhuang every day depended on it for several members of the family to make a living.

  Most of the people are tenant farmers, they do not have their own land, and there is no surplus food in their homes. When the plague of locusts occurs, there is no harvest in the fields.Catching locusts in exchange for food is even more rewarding than working hard to cultivate the land.

  "Can you get good wheat grain, white noodles, rice, and even beef that was banned by the Tang Dynasty?" Li Er was secretly shocked.

  "I said, no wonder the number of people queuing is increasing day by day. Now there are not only tens of thousands of people in Anping County, but also people from other places around." Wu He said in surprise.

  Because there are too many people in the queue, the elderly who have no labor at home are usually arranged to line up, and the main labor force in the family is responsible for catching locusts and then exchanging food.So for the past three days, thousands of people have eaten and drank all in Luzhuang, who doesn't want to be able to exchange food earlier.

  "On his own strength, I'm afraid it will be difficult to help the hundreds of thousands of people around Chang'an." Li Er's expression was complicated. Originally, it was his responsibility as the emperor to help the people, but now he has let others do it for him.

  The famine caused by the plague of locusts does not know how long it will last.But if everyone actively catches locusts, the locusts that swept Chang'an should be cleared away by the people soon.

  Lu Xiu not only relieved the victims, but also mobilized the people to solve the locust plague by themselves.

  "Your Majesty, Young Master Lu has come out." After waiting for about half a column of incense, the much-anticipated Lu Xiu finally came out of the inner courtyard.

  It was easy to recognize Lu Xiu, because his father, Emperor Li Yuan and Hejian County King Li Xiaogong, actually accompanied him.The two deliberately concealed their identities and talked and laughed with him. .

Chapter 12

  ps: The Mid-Autumn Festival is too busy, so the update is a little slower, and the update will resume today! ! ! ! !

  Li Er finally witnessed with his own eyes, what Wu He reported was a different technique of turning stone into gold.

  In front of everyone, with a little light, the piles of locusts accumulated in the yard turned into strings of golden wheat ears.This situation really shocked Li Er who was on the side!

  Not a trick, but real wheat.From tens of thousands of people who come to exchange for food every day, it can be proved that they can fill their stomachs.

  The locusts turned into ears of wheat, the sand piled up in the yard turned into white flour, and tens of thousands of catties of grain came out alive.

  After doing everything, maybe you are tired.That Young Master Lu sat on a weird "Hu chair", and a layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

  Including his father, the four people sat around a high desk and sat on the Hu chair, which seemed quite comfortable.

  On the table, Lu Xiu waved it casually, and a dozen steaming steamed white-flour buns appeared on the table, exuding an appetizing aroma.

  "Have you eaten meat buns for breakfast today, hehe, I like it." Seeing the food on the table, Li Yuan didn't care whether it was hot or not, he just took one.

  "Steamed buns? Uncle Li, aren't they just white flour steamed buns? What's so strange?" Li Xiaogong asked curiously.
