I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]

Liu Tan felt a little uncomfortable all over: "What the hell? I don't know if the child is a boy or a girl. How can we make a marriage contract? What if the two of them are boys in the future?"

Lu Xuan chuckled and said, "Don't worry, no matter whether Princess Danyang's child is a boy or a girl, there will always be someone worthy of her."

Liu Tan was silent for a while, and suddenly felt sympathetic to the unborn child who didn't know whether he was a boy or a girl.

He sighed softly and said, "Forget it, let's take a step and see."

He has a lot of his own affairs, how can he have the leisure to take care of others?

Liu Tan put this matter aside, turned around and began to study hot pot.

Or it is to study how to eat hot pot in a new way.

For this purpose, he specially asked someone to dig a basement in the northern palace, and then set up two walls inside, one is the part next to the land, and the other is about three feet away from the first wall. , and this distance is used to place ice cubes.

Even if you are building an igloo, you can't let the ice cubes be exposed, or the cold air from the ice cubes will hit your back, and you can wear it no matter how thick it is.

And the most important thing is the current temperature, and if you eat hot pot inside, the ice will melt. This wall is also to prevent the water from flowing out after melting. With this wall blocking, and the drainage groove is set inside, So the water should not go indoors.

In fact, the igloo does not have much technical content, Liu Tan only needs to order it to go on, and what really makes him think is the pot of the hot pot.

Because there was no chili, Liu Tan didn't choose the mandarin duck pot. Anyway, he didn't know how to make two kinds of soup, but only one kind of pot bottom always made him feel too monotonous.

It is true that it can be paired with other dishes, but Liu Tan always feels that when eating hot pot, apart from cold dishes, any stir-fried vegetables feel a bit strange.

After thinking about it, he simply changed the previous copper pot, so that the pot body in the middle of the copper pot became a disc to serve as a baking pan.

Copper pots are generally ventilated by adding carbon from the top. After Liu Tan changed the top of the copper pot, he could only make the passage into a separate state, and ventilate from the bottom. As for adding carbon...just add enough carbon from the beginning , If you eat for a long time, just change the pot.

After all, the taste of the hot pot soup base will decrease after a long time, which will easily affect the taste.

Three days had passed since all the copper pots that Liu Tan had transformed were finished.

At lunch three days later, Liu Tan directly invited Liu Che to the northern palace. Liu Che knew at a glance that he had something new, but even if he was mentally prepared, he was surprised when he was brought into the basement.

There are two rooms in the basement. The first room you enter is for changing clothes. After all, it is relatively cold inside. Wearing summer clothes and eating hot pot while sweating and being eroded by the strong cold air can easily cause typhoid. Not to mention that the temperature outside is already on the high side. Getting in and out is also easy to get sick.

When Liu Che entered the first basement, he saw the cloak that Liu Tan had prepared for him and couldn't help being surprised: "Although it's cooler here, you don't need to wear so many."

Liu Tan said with a smile: "It's colder inside than here, just wear the emperor's father."

Liu Che asked while wearing it: "What new tricks are you doing?"

Liu Tan smiled slightly and said nothing. Seeing Liu Che put on a cloak, he also put on a brocade coat, and then helped Liu Che all the way to the second basement.

At this time, the basement has been decorated with brilliant lights, which is beautiful, but this is not the point, the point is that Liu Che felt a cool air rushing towards his face as soon as he entered.

He felt it carefully and found that it was indeed colder here, not cold, but cold.

Only then did Liu Che understand why Liu Tan insisted on letting him wear a cloak. If he didn't put it on, he might suffer from frostbite if he stayed here for a while.

At this time, all the food tables in the room have been placed with copper pots, and they have been boiled. The rich aroma of the soup base wafts into the room, and just smelling it makes the mouth water.

Liu Che was not hungry at first, but at this moment he was a little hungry after smelling it.

He walked all the way to the top seat and sat down, while Liu Tan was on his right hand.

Today's hot pot is only eaten by the two of them, and the rest of them can either eat in the post house or go out to find something to eat by themselves.

It's not that Liu Tan is stingy, but he is afraid of too many people. If there are too many hot pots, there will be a lot of carbon monoxide and the like produced by burning charcoal in the room. Wouldn't it be cheating if you get carbon monoxide poisoning after eating hot pot?

Even if the basement wasn't completely airtight, he didn't dare to take the risk. However, correspondingly, Lu Xuan didn't have the right to come over for a meal.

It's one thing for everyone to know it secretly, but it's another thing to show it on the surface.

After Liu Che sat down, he saw plates of extremely thinly sliced ​​meat brought up, including beef, mutton, pork, and even some chicken and duck.

Then there are soy products such as fish balls and bean curds. There is a whole food table, no, even the entire food table cannot fit.

Liu Che watched helplessly as the palace servants pushed a three-story trolley, and there were many dishes on the trolley. When it was delivered to him, he pulled out the food plates from the trolley, and Liu Che could clearly see What are those, just let the palace servants order whatever you want to eat.

These are not too unusual, what makes Liu Che curious is the disc in the middle of the hot pot.

At this time, a layer of oil has been brushed on the disc, and as the temperature rises, the aroma of the oil wafts out, and the palace servants begin to put the cut meat on it little by little.

It was only at this time that Liu Che knew what this Yuanpan was for, and he couldn't help laughing for a moment, "I'm afraid you've spent all your thoughts on eating it."

Liu Tan was staring at the meat in the pot, because the meat slices are extremely thin, the meat will be out of the pot after a few dozen times, or it will be old.

At this time, after hearing Liu Che's words, he could only put down the meat in the pot, turned his head and said seriously: "Who said that? I can still play!"

Liu Che: ...

You're pretty proud of being able to eat and play, aren't you?

He said angrily, "How did you find out about the song before?"

Liu Tan rolled his eyes and said, "Father, don't discuss political affairs while eating, it will easily hurt your stomach."

Liu Che sneered: "It seems that I didn't find it."

Liu Tan said: "It's true that we haven't found him. That person is so good at hiding. My son even suspects that he has already left the Northern Borderlands. If that's the case, it may be difficult to catch him."

Liu Che frowned: "I have told you countless times to give you snacks, but you seem to be taking it easy. Even if they leave the northern border country now, they will always come back in the future. These people are like poisonous snakes in the dark. I'll take a bite."

Liu Che felt that his heart was really broken because of this incompetent son. You must know that even if he taught the prince, he had never worked so hard.

Although the prince is kind but intelligent, Liu Che doesn't need to explain some things at all, as long as Liu Ju is mentioned, he will know it well, and he will not be merciful to those who are in the dark.

But Liu Tan... looks a little too naive, looking at him like there are no bad people in the world.

If Liu Tan knew what Liu Che was thinking, he might not know whether Li Guangli, who had already been beaten to death, and the sheriff of Xi'an Yangjun, who was stabbed to death unexpectedly, would cry out of aggrieved underground.

Liu Tan didn't know what Liu Che was thinking, so he just said: "It's not that I don't care, it's just that it's easy to hide a hidden arrow, and it's hard to defend against a thief. You can only be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't guard against a thief for a thousand days. Anyway, I have ordered everyone to go down Just keep an eye on it, as long as the black hands behind this scene don't show up, if they do, I will definitely not let you off lightly."

Liu Che took a bite of the beef, and felt that it was tender and smooth, and it was cooked just right. While enjoying the food, he said casually, "At first, I didn't really want to care about how you solve this matter, but you are always smart. So stupid about things?"

Liu Tan was caught off guard by being called stupid. To be honest, he thought he was not smart, but Liu Che had never called him stupid.

For a moment, he could only look at Liu Che aggrievedly and asked: "Then...what should the father say?"

Liu Che said: "There are mixed fish and dragons there. It's normal that your people couldn't find out in the past. There must be some people who refuse to tell the truth in order to protect themselves. You simply order the people to report. If you still hide it, after you find out in the future, one will count. Even sitting down, do you think they dare to hide it?"

Liu Tan shook his hands when he heard this, and the meat that had just been blanched fell into the pot. He raised his head and glanced at Liu Che and forced a smile: "Father, this method is good, but I feel that if they have formed a group, They may not dare to report easily even if they are threatened by Lian Zuo, it is better to offer a reward for reporting, after verification, the reward will be issued, and if they report casually, they will be punished."

Liu Che glanced at him, and said helplessly, "It's too soft-hearted, forget it, let it be with you."

In Liu Che's view, Liu Tan encountered too few things. It's okay, anyway, he is here to cover the whole thing, and there will be no big troubles. It is also a kind of exercise for Liu Tan to face the dangers of people's hearts. Don't be so naive, then Liu Che will really be thankful.

But Liu Tan heaved a long sigh of relief. At this time, he realized that he had broken out in a cold sweat in just such a short period of time.

In fact, he doesn't think there is anything wrong with letting the people report, but the degree must be measured in place, and the report cannot be used as a weapon for attacking each other.

It's just that the mutual reporting in Liu Che's mouth should be different from the reporting he knows.

That report was the beginning of the formation of a cruel official. Regardless of whether he was guilty or not, if he was reported and exposed, he would definitely be arrested. It would depend on his luck whether he would be able to get out of the prison alive.

And the vast majority of people who go in are generally not very lucky.

A cruel official would put everyone in the court at risk, and even ordinary people might be affected. Liu Tan would rather not find this person than let any cruel official appear in the northern border country.
