"Okay! Okay!"
Li Yuan praised repeatedly, his eyes full of admiration:
"Erlang, where did this wine come from?
I have never tasted such a rich wine."
Li Er smiled slightly, pointed at Zhuang Zhou and said:
"Father, this wine was brought by Zhuang Zhou.
He is from Southeast Asia and has a lot of experience in winemaking.”
"oh?"
Upon hearing this, Li Yuan looked at Zhuang Zhou again, with a hint of admiration and curiosity in his eyes:
"It turns out that Mr. Zhuang is also proficient in the art of brewing wine. How rare!"
Even though Li Yuan was the emperor emeritus, he also brewed his own wine in private.
Therefore, I know a lot about winemaking and can already tell good wine from bad.
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Zhou hurriedly bowed and said:
"Your Majesty, I am too kind to praise you. I only know a little bit about it, but it's not worth mentioning."
"Haha, there's no need to be modest, Mr. Zhuang."
Li Yuan laughed loudly and raised his glass:
"Come, it's a rare occasion for us to get together today. I will drink this cup with you!"
Li Er saw this and quickly advised:
"Father, it's better to drink slowly and take care of yourself."
"Nothing!"
Li Yuan obviously didn't care, then he remembered something and said with concern:
"Erlang, it's Changsun, you have to pay more attention!"
"Don't worry, Father. I've already had Doctor Sun check my pulse. I'll be fine after a few days of rest."
Li Yuan nodded upon hearing this and said:
"With Sun Simiao diagnosing my pulse, I don't have to worry!"
"What? Sun Simiao?"
Zhuang Zhou interjected almost subconsciously.
When he finished speaking, he realized that the three of them were looking at him with puzzled expressions.
"What's wrong?"
Li Chengqian asked, "Hasn't Mr. Zhuang heard of Doctor Sun?"
This is the King of Medicine Sun Simiao!
Although Zhuang Zhou did not study traditional Chinese medicine.
But of course I have heard of this person.
I have even heard of "Qianjin Yaofang".
After all, Sun Simiao had a huge influence on later generations.
Zhuang Zhou was slightly stunned, then smiled and said:
"Of course I have heard of Doctor Sun, and I deeply admire his medical skills.
I've never had the chance to see him in person, so I was a little surprised."
Upon hearing this, Li Yuan stroked his beard and smiled:
"Sun Simiao's medical skills are indeed unrivaled in the world.
I was also seriously ill and on the verge of death, but fortunately he brought me back to health."
Zhuang Zhou nodded, but thought secretly in his heart.
No matter how good Sun Simiao's medical skills are, he cannot save Li Yuan!
Thinking of this, Zhuang Zhou couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Li Yuan seemed to see what Zhuang Zhou was thinking and said with a smile:
"My dear Zhuang, in life, there are always separations between life and death.
Although I am the emperor, I cannot avoid this kind of experience.
However, as long as people live a wonderful life, why should they fear death? "
Zhuang Zhou was moved when he heard this and bowed his hands and said:
"The Supreme Emperor is absolutely right. I, Zhuang, have learned my lesson."
Li Yuan laughed heartily and raised his glass:
"Come on, let's continue drinking and not talk about these spoiling things."
Everyone raised their glasses to celebrate, and the atmosphere became lively again.
Zhuang Zhou also put aside his feelings and drank with the three of them.
The atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
As the banquet began.
Li Yuan, Li Er and Li Chengqian began to chat about family matters.
Zhuang Zhou sat aside, listening to their conversation quietly, but couldn't help feeling deeply moved.
He thought of himself coming to this era.
Although we have experienced many twists and turns and difficulties.
But I also met many interesting people and experienced many unforgettable things.
And now.
He was able to sit here and have dinner with the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the later emperor of all ages.
This is an honor beyond words!
Halfway through the dinner, Li Yuan felt a little overwhelmed:
"Hiss! This hot pot is really spicy and delicious. The more I eat, the more I feel like I'm sweating profusely and my whole body feels refreshed."
Li Er saw this and said:
"Does Father think it's too spicy?"
“It’s okay, it’s okay!”
Li Yuanqiang pretended to be calm and suddenly pointed at a plate of tripe and asked:
"Zhuang Xiaoyou, what kind of dish is this?
It’s so crispy!”
Zhuang Zhou smiled and said:
“It’s tripe!”
"Tripe? I've eaten all sorts of delicacies in the world, but I've never heard of this. What is this dish made of?"
"This... this tripe is actually the cow's omasum."
"ah!"
Li Yuan immediately felt disgusted:
"Friend Zhuang, is this tripe really edible?"
Oh!
You ate the whole plate!
I just grabbed a piece!
Now you ask me if I can really eat it?
Very fake, okay!
But how could Zhuang Zhou dare to speak like that!
Even Li Er was very respectful to Li Yuan.
Zhuang Zhou put on a smiling face and said:
“Your Majesty may not know that in my hometown, tripe, duck intestines, and duck throat are known as the three treasures of hot pot.
Put large pieces of tripe into the red, spicy and hot soup pot and blanch it up and down.
Take it out and dip it in mashed garlic, sesame oil, and sauce, then chew it in big mouthfuls. It’s so delicious! ”
Described like this by Zhuang Zhou.
Li Chengqian couldn't help swallowing his saliva!
Just now, when he saw Grandpa Huang eating the tripe, he was reluctant to grab it.
"Young friend Zhuang is indeed very eloquent!"
Li Yuan praised:
"I've often heard Erlang say that you're knowledgeable in astronomy and geography, and fluent in poetry and songs. But is that true?"
“???”
Are you talking about me?
Are you sure you're not mistaken?
Zhuang Zhou was speechless!
Who the hell is spreading rumors about me?
Oh, it’s His Majesty the Emperor?
