Li Shimin also came closer curiously, looking at such a large and silly-looking animal doll.
"Hey, isn't this an iron-eating beast?"
Li Mingda nodded her head vigorously, smiled brightly at her biological father, and then proudly shook the panda doll that she could barely hold with both hands.
"Yes, yes, daddy, look at it, it's so cute, so cute..."
Li Shimin immediately felt happy when he saw his cute and cute girl with picturesque features holding such a big and stupid doll.
"Ha, dad just thinks it's silly. In terms of cuteness, no one in the world can match my Mingda."
These words made Li Mingda's smile double. He raised his pointed chin and shook it proudly at his father.
This made Li Shimin laugh loudly, and Empress Changsun called Hu Shanggong and finally took the huge animal doll over.
Looking at Hu Shanggong carefully holding the huge panda, yes, because brother Cheng San called this guy a panda.
Brother Cheng San named it this way, which made Li Mingda think that this name was much cuter than some iron-eating beast.
So it doesn't matter what other people call it. What's important is that Brother Cheng San and I both know it's called panda.
Li Mingda bent his bright eyes and reached out to touch its soft down. The smooth feel was so comfortable.
Seeing his daughter's expression of love and admiration, Li Shimin became more and more unhappy. Is such a silly and cute animal so cute?
Empress Changsun looked at her daughter, then glanced at her husband, and smiled implicitly.
"Husband, shouldn't you be happy after receiving so many gifts?"
"Well... of course I am very happy to be my husband. Our Ke'er has become sensible and knows how to be a filial father."
"By the way, Zhao Kun, bring those two boxes of tea in. I want to have a taste and see what this Luzhou tea soup tastes like."
Seeing that her husband was not willing to mention Cheng Sanlang throughout the whole process, Empress Changsun suppressed her smile and gently tugged on her daughter who was still licking the soft down of the iron beast doll.

After Zhao Kun opened the box, he saw oil-paper bags sealed with oil paper inside.
The oil paper bag says "Luzhou Cui Ya Special Product", produced by the Luzhou Branch of the Han and Tang Dynasties Commercial Bank.
This practice, as expected, was done by that guy Cheng Sanlang.
He took out one and handed it to Li Shimin next to him. Li Shimin tore open the seal and smelled a fresh and pleasant smell.
Suddenly he raised his eyebrows and looked at the tea leaves there, but he saw that the tea leaf buds inside were flat.
It's a beautiful green color with a hint of pekoe on it.
Picking up a small handful, I brought it to my nose and sniffed it. The fresh and elegant fragrance of tea leaves was refreshing.
"It's interesting. I didn't expect that tea can be made into something like this. Is this green tea?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, this box is black tea..."
At this time, Zhao Kun opened another wooden box and found that the inside was also sealed with oil paper and placed in packages one by one.
After Li Shimin took a packet and tore it open, he saw the beautiful reddish-brown tea leaves inside. He brought it to his nose and sniffed it, and couldn't help but let out a sigh.
This black tea not only has the elegant and light fragrance of tea, but also has a flavor similar to flowers and fruits.
Just when Li Shimin was smelling the fragrance of tea and trying to distinguish the fragrance, he heard the call of his beloved daughter Li Mingda.
"Mother, smell it, this tea smells so good. Daddy, Daddy, I want to drink it."
Li Shimin smiled ingratiatingly at the girl who was tugging on his clothes, and muttered unhappily.
"Okay, daddy will cook it for you. Hey, Cheng...cough, that guy Ke'er brought tea. Isn't there a way to brew it?"
"Your Majesty, there is a brocade bag here." Zhao Kun saw a hint of red in the corner of the box. He reached out and pulled it out, and saw a brocade bag.
When she heard the word "tips", Empress Changsun immediately covered her lips and turned her face, "That little bastard, what do you want to do?"
Li Shimin's face darkened instantly, Cheng Sanlang, you did this on purpose, right?
But seeing his daughter looking at him longingly, Li Shimin could only take a deep breath, calm down, and said to Zhao Kun.
"Hurry up and see how to brew this black tea and green tea. My good girl, let's sit down over there and have a good taste later."
"If it doesn't taste good, can daddy deduct Cheng Sanlang's salary?"
Hearing this, Li Mingda bit his lip and looked at his father curiously.
"Dad, wasn't the tea sent by the third brother? Why should the third brother Cheng's salary be deducted?"
Li Shimin laughed and laughed, speaking plausibly and authentically.
"Although the tea was given by your third brother, this tea was made by Cheng Sanlang. If the tea is not well made, you dare to make a fool of yourself in front of me. If not him, who else can you deduct?"
Having said this, he also set his sights on his beloved wife Guanyin, hoping to find allies and support.
Queen Changsun turned her bright eyes and nodded with deep understanding.
"My husband's words are very reasonable, but I feel that the tea was made by Cheng Sanlang but given by Ke'er. If it doesn't taste good, both of them should take it away."
Li Mingda nodded vigorously, and then smiled brightly at his father.
"Yes, what mom said makes sense, right dad?"

Zhao Kun was not stupid. As a man who fought on the battlefield, he really couldn't do delicate work, so he directly signaled the eunuch who usually made tea soup for His Majesty to come over.
After looking at it carefully, the eunuch quickly wrote down the steps for operating these two kinds of tea.
Then from the black tea box, I took out a set of white porcelain tea sets for brewing black tea. As for the tea sets for green tea, they were much simpler, with five beautiful white porcelain tea bowls.
After a short while, two small clay stoves with charcoal fires burning were brought into the Manna Hall, with a small copper pot of exquisite shape placed on each.
The eunuch quickly poured a teaspoon of black tea into the white porcelain bowl.
Not long after, after the water in the two small copper pots had boiled, the eunuch who had been making tea all year round took out one pot and placed it on a shelf aside.
Then he picked up another pot, washed the tea first, then brewed the tea, and filtered the tea soup through the tea filter.
Then it was poured into the white porcelain tea cup. Li Shimin's family of three couldn't help but feel refreshed when they smelled the fragrance of tea that had begun to overflow.
After picking up the tea cup, I saw that the tea in the cup had a beautiful red and yellow color.
Li Shimin picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The taste was so sweet and mellow. After swallowing the tea soup, he felt the sweet aftertaste.
This feeling is really different from the tea soup with salt and ginger that Li Shimin drank in the past.
This made Li Shimin almost want to complain: Maybe this is the correct way to drink tea...
