Cheng Chubi turned around and left with a dark face. He was so damn uncomfortable if he didn't pick it...

They had not gone far when they heard shouts from behind them. When they turned around, it was Zhao Kun who was galloping towards him on horseback.

"Cheng Sanlang, hurry up and prepare some food for Your Majesty, so that Your Majesty can take some back to Princess Jinyang."

Hearing that it was for Princess Jinyang, Cheng Chubi naturally did not dare to neglect and hurriedly asked someone to prepare it. Of course, it was difficult to bring hot dishes.

But those cold dishes are no problem, braised vegetables, as well as cured meat and steamed buns can be brought separately. Of course, a plate of marinated pork belly is also given.

Even if it is skewered on a stick and grilled, it still tastes delicious...

Not long after the meeting, the steward Ji Shu personally brought the food box over.

"General Zhao, some of them here are ready to eat."

"It can't be done now. I've already written down the recipe or how to cook it, including all the ingredients."

Zhao Kun happily raised it in his hand and nodded with satisfaction. "You are really serious about it, Cheng Sanlang. Your Majesty, tell you, don't forget "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"."

"..." Cheng Chubi looked at Zhao Kun's back carrying a food box in one hand and a rein in the other, and shook his head helplessly.

What else can I say? I never expected that the old Cheng family would also be preyed upon by people who wanted to take cards. Cheng Chubi thought about this.

He couldn't help but feel so sad that his eyes were moist. Looking towards the northwest, Cheng Chubi sighed for a while. Oh, dad, dear dad, when will you come back to take charge of the overall situation?

After finishing his meal, Li Shimin returned to the front of the Ganlu Palace. From a distance, he saw Li Mingda and Li Yuan playing a little game outside the palace gate.

The cute little girl was circling around the huge pillar, while her father happily opened his hands and pretended to be an eagle to catch her.

This made the little cutie giggle and run around, while Queen Changsun stood not far away, with a look of confusion on her face, looking at the quarrelsome grandparent and grandson.

Li Shimin heard the sound and saw the petite figure with a yellowish color, and couldn't help but have that relieved smile on his face again.

Li Mingda walked forward with vigorous steps. It didn't take long for Li Mingda to see Li Shimin's figure. He couldn't help standing on tiptoes and waving vigorously.

"Daddy! Daddy, little Sizi is here!"

"Hey... it's coming, it's coming..." Li Shimin laughed, and couldn't help but move three points faster.

"Mom, grandpa, daddy are back..." Li Mingda did not forget to remind the other two important people.

"Okay, your father is back, now you can feel relieved, right?" Empress Changsun smiled sweetly and said somewhat helplessly.

"Look, hehe..." Li Yuan stroked his long beard, glanced over there, and then returned to Li Mingda.

"My son, I have met my father..." Li Shimin walked quickly and approached Li Yuan respectfully.

After Li Yuan responded, he held Li Mingda in his arms and asked while teasing this cute and smart granddaughter.

"Well, I heard from my good granddaughter that you went to Cheng's house to get her some delicious food?"

Li Shimin accompanied him and carefully answered respectfully.

"...Yes, Father, by the way, there are quite a lot of delicacies brought here. Father, please have a good taste. Cheng Sanlang's methods are really powerful."

"Okay, dear granddaughter, it's too hot outside and your father is back too. How about we go in and cool off?"

Zhao Kun didn't need to be reminded by Li Shimin and immediately walked away quickly with the food box in hand.

"How is your husband?" Seeing her father entering the palace first with his daughter in his arms, Empress Changsun asked Li Shimin with concern.

"Open your eyes and fill your stomach." Li Shimin chuckled and patted Empress Changsun's finger, feeling quite proud.

Looking into Guanyin's bright eyes full of curiosity, Li Shimin lowered his voice and said, "Go in first, and we will eat and chat later. Father is still waiting."

Without waiting for too long, Zhao Kun stepped into the Manna Hall first, and the eunuchs behind him brought the delicacies from Lu Guogong's mansion.

"Eh...it smells so good." Although Li Yuan, the Supreme Emperor, is old, his nose is still very sensitive.

"Father, you know that these are dishes cooked with meat from pigs."

Hearing this, Li Yuan's eyes fell on the steaming dishes on the table, which were rich in meat aroma but could not smell the slightest bit of fishy smell.

"Really pork?"

"Yes, Father, you should try it too. I was just at Duke Lu's mansion, but I was a little full."

Seeing Li Erlang's shiny and high-spirited look, Li Yuan picked up his chopsticks and reached for what he thought looked the most attractive: skin jelly.

The smell of garlic, vinegar, and some soy sauce completely bring out the aroma of the cold skin jelly.

Coupled with the soft, glutinous and elastic texture of the jelly itself, Li Yuan's eyes lit up. "Hey, what kind of delicacy is this? I have never tasted similar delicacies."

"Father, this is called skin jelly. It is made from pig skin and pork bones, which are boiled for a long time and then refrigerated to solidify."

"And this Dongpo Pork, Father, you will definitely like it..."

After Li Yuan swallowed the skin jelly, at Li Shimin's signal, he used a spoon and chopsticks to pick up a piece of Dongpo pork and put it into his mouth.

The fat meat melts in your mouth, the lean meat is fragrant and not burnt, the pork skin is soft and sweet... coupled with the gravy, Li Yuan's eyes lit up from the very beginning.

After that, I simply closed my eyes and tasted the taste in my mouth carefully. "This thing is really wonderful, but why is the name so weird? Dongpo Pork. Could it be that Cheng Laosan slaughtered the pigs in Dongpo?"

Li Shimin's face was a little dark. He was so busy eating at the time that he really forgot to ask.

"It's so delicious, mother, I want to do this again..." After Li Mingda swallowed the Dongpo meat that her mother gave him, her pair of dark eyes blinked rapidly with excitement.

He gently patted the back of his mother's hand with his little hand, urging his mother, who was enjoying the lingering aroma of Dongpo meat, to continue feeding him.

Empress Changsun had no choice but to give another chopstick to the girl who ate faster than herself. Li Mingda, the cute little girl, raised her pretty face and tried to open her mouth...

In the following time, Li Shimin completely became a spectator, except for occasionally interjecting to introduce the names of dishes.

He could only touch his swollen belly and look at his wife, daughter and father eagerly as they feasted.

"Hey..." When Li Yuan stretched his chopsticks to the plate again, he found that the last piece of Dongpo pork had disappeared and turned his head.

Then I saw Li Mingda, the good granddaughter, happily squinting her eyes and enjoying the last piece of Dongpo meat.

I could only smile helplessly, put a piece of pig ear into my mouth and chewed it slowly, well... this stuff is fragrant and crispy, it would definitely be good to drink with it.

Empress Changsun touched her lower abdomen, which was a little rounder than usual, and couldn't help but feel a little undecided about lifting her chopsticks. Should she continue or not?

Li Yuan looked at the remaining two plates of braised vegetables. One was pig ears and the other was braised pork head. They were both excellent dishes to go with wine. Wouldn't it be a waste if we just ate them like this?
