Li Yuan faced Xiao Sizi, how could he refuse her request? He patted his forehead and smiled flatteringly.
"Ah this... oh, grandpa just now was so absorbed in what he was listening to that he actually forgot about it for a moment."
"Since little Si Zi wants to listen to "The Story of the Peony Pavilion in Luoyang", then grandpa will listen to it with you, okay?"
"Thank you, grandpa, daddy, can we listen to "The Peony Pavilion of Luoyang" together?"
"Haha, since you like it, how can you as a father not allow it?" Li Shimin said not to be outdone.
Queen Changsun, who was pretending to look at the white steam from the kettle on the iron stove in front of her, heard Chu's words and secretly chuckled in her heart.
The spitting and passionate vulgar speaker naturally did not dare to neglect. After bowing to these noble people, he quickly brought out the "Luoyang Peony Pavilion".
Behind him, the eunuchs worked for a while, and soon, the picture of Zhao Zilong riding the savior alone had been removed and replaced with the famous scene in "The Peony Pavilion of Luoyang".
After the lay speaker drank tea to moisten his throat, he changed into a gentle mood that was partly sighing and partly melancholy.
Let’s begin to tell the story of a pair of fateful mandarin ducks in that magnificent era...
As soon as he got up, Zhao Kun, who was guarding outside, quickly walked over, came to Li Shimin's side and reported in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, Cheng Sanlang is here. He is waiting outside the palace. He said that he has brought some local specialties from Jiannan Road to your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor and... His Royal Highness Princess Jinyang."
"Brother Cheng San is here?" Li Mingda, who was listening to the story attentively, his eyes suddenly lit up and he turned around.
The vulgar lecturer above, who was just getting emotional, was immediately interrupted. He could only roll his eyes secretly and stare blankly at the noble people in front of him.
Seeing Li Mingda's look of wanting to get up and go outside the hall to have a look, Li Shimin reluctantly gave instructions to Zhao Kun.
"Okay, let him come in..."
When Zhao Kun thought of the heavy bag Cheng Sanlang was carrying, he forgot about it, promised in a low voice and hurried away.
Not long after, Cheng Sanlang entered the Yaoguang Hall with heavy steps.
"Brother Cheng San!" Li Mingda couldn't help but exclaimed with relief when he saw Cheng Sanlang who was dressed like a black bear spirit.
When Cheng Chubi saw that Li Mingda was indeed here, he couldn't help showing a handsome smile.
Immediately, I felt murderous intent, and a malicious look was directed towards me. Haha...
Needless to say, he must be the doting concubine in epic equipment, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
"My nephew has met his uncle, met the Supreme Emperor, met his aunt, met His Highness..."
Cheng Chubi threw the heavy luggage at his feet. The heavy sound sounded as if there was a huge stone or something heavy inside.
Li Yuan couldn't help but take a breath with toothache, and couldn't help but utter something subconsciously.
"Cheng Sanlang, you said you were here to deliver local specialties. Why do I feel that what you are sending is not specialties? It seems that you are really here to deliver local products."
"???" Cheng Chubi looked at this unruly old man who had no martial ethics with a confused look on his face.
God is so good at giving away soil. Believe it or not, I will give you ten pounds of waxed Guanyin soil and ask you if you dare to eat it.
Li Shimin subconsciously grinned, wishing he could give his thumbs up and give a thumbs up to his father. In terms of his ability to make heart-wrenching complaints, his father is really a piece of ginger, quite spicy.
Empress Changsun almost couldn't control her emotions. She didn't expect her father-in-law to speak so abruptly.
But this person is our little Sizi’s sweetheart after all. Why do you big guys like tit-for-tat so much?
Queen Changsun spoke in time and smiled at Cheng Sanlang.
"Cheng Sanlang is here. What are these specialties of yours? They are so heavy."
"Back to aunt, these are specialties sent from Yaozhou at the southernmost tip of Jiannan Road. They are called hams. They are made from the whole hind legs of the finest Yaozhou pigs..."
Cheng Chubi decided to ignore the two rough men who liked to target his junior, smiled at his future mother-in-law, and lifted the heavy burden.
With one hand, he picked up a piece of Yaozhou ham that could be used as a weapon to kill someone.
Li Mingda looked at the hard pig hind leg that Brother Cheng San was holding in his hand, his eyes lit up, and he came closer.
"...It's such a big one, Brother Cheng San, is this delicious?"
"Don't worry, Your Highness, this thing is extremely delicious. Whether it is used as a main ingredient or as a seasoning, it can be used to cook dishes with a very unique color and aroma."
"Because I have to carry two hundred kilograms of Yaozhou ham today, I only brought one dish today: cured ham hoof and stewed mushrooms..."
While speaking, Cheng Sanlang opened the specially made warm food box and took out a large bowl from the middle.
After opening the lid of the bowl, there was still steam coming out from inside, and the rich aroma of waxed ham and stewed mushrooms began to overflow in the warm spring-like Yaoguang Temple.
With a coo, the little cute Li Mingda couldn't help but swallow. "Wow...it smells so good."
Li Yuan, who had already gathered around him curiously, took two deep breaths, and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. Xingzi said w;;;;;; subconsciously.
"The smell of this thing is really delicious. Is it shipped from Yaozhou in Jiannan Road?"
"Of course, among the land of Jiannan Road, only the area in Yaozhou is the most suitable for curing this kind of top-quality ham."
"Well, father, the child smells this smell and thinks it is very fragrant. Why don't you give it a try?"
"Well... that's fine. I'm just free. If someone comes, prepare the dishes and chopsticks quickly. By the way, I'll give you a bottle..."
Just as he shouted out the word "bottle", Li Yuan glanced at the expressionless daughter-in-law from the corner of his eye, and promptly changed the last word.
"Let's have a bottle of nourishing rice wine and add more ginger. Alas, I'm old and my stomach is not very good. I don't want to warm myself up, and my whole body feels uncomfortable. Erlang, do you want some too?"
Li Yuan looked at Li Shimin, and Li Shimin subconsciously looked at Empress Changsun.
Empress Changsun smiled gently and virtuously, and said softly to Li Shimin.
"Husband, just have a few drinks with your father-in-law..."
Seeing this scene, Li Yuan immediately laughed... He glanced at his son with a very superior look.
After sitting back, Li Shimin saw his father's eyes and felt that he was being ridiculed, but he couldn't find any evidence.
Cheng Sanlang also hurriedly called and asked the eunuchs to bring a few more small charcoal stoves and casseroles.
Divide the generous portion of cured ham trotters and stewed mushrooms into four portions, then place the fire underneath and slowly simmer the rich soup over low heat.
The alluring fragrance almost occupied the entire Yaoguang Hall, making the layman who was about to feel sad swallow his saliva frequently.
