Chapter 2946 If the Tang Dynasty is so talented, forget it
Cheng Chubi is still worried about Yu Ji. These old guys are all elders and he really can't afford to offend them.
Just when Cheng Sanlang was sighing and sighing, he heard footsteps on the deck...and then, the hatch was pushed open.
Revealing the elders who do not have martial ethics, oh no... the smiling and kind face of the respected father-in-law Li Shimin.
Li Shimin's eyes subconsciously fell on Cheng Sanlang's hands that were shuffling the cards, and the smile on his face quickly disappeared.
Cheng Sanlang flashed his hands like a magic trick, and the bamboo cards disappeared instantly, and then his hands were empty. As if nothing happened, he saluted Li Shimin respectfully.
"My son-in-law has met my father-in-law. Since my father-in-law is coming over, why didn't he tell me in advance?"
Li Shimin gave this cheeky man a vicious look, and then with a kind smile, he nodded at Fang Jun and Li Siwen, who looked like honest children.
"Haha...Okay, you two worthy sons-in-law, and the wise nephew Siwen, please get up..."
"I have finished my official duties today and have some free time. Naturally, I thought of coming over to visit you juniors who have made great contributions."
Li Shimin quickly sat down on the couch and looked at the three young talents in front of him who were sitting very neatly.
After saying a few words of encouragement to the younger generation, Li Shimin changed his tone.
"Son-in-law Chu Bi, please stay here. I have something to do and I want to have a good chat with you..."
Facing the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Fang Jun and Li Siwen, who felt extremely stressed, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He quickly said goodbye and jumped out of the cabin, leaving Cheng Sanlang and Li Shimin staring at each other in the cabin.
Li Shimin's awl-like gaze made Cheng Sanlang feel uncomfortable all over. He twisted his neck for a long time and finally couldn't hold it in any longer.
"My father-in-law, just say it if you have anything to say. You stare at my son-in-law like this, making him think that he has done something wrong."
Playing cards is purely a personal hobby. Now that I am not on official duty, what’s wrong with playing cards?
It's always more positive than your heroic son wandering towards the Goulan Pavilion looking for half-dressed young ladies every now and then.
Of course, Cheng Sanlang only dared to think these words silently in his heart, and forget to say them out, otherwise Li Ke, who was thousands of miles away, would be punished.
He wouldn't be in a good position either, and maybe because he exposed the secrets of the Huang family, the father-in-law, who had no martial ethics, would pick him up with a big stick and drive him into the water, so he would have to swim back to Dengzhou.
Li Shimin let out a long sigh, his eyes gradually softened, and then he spoke from the bottom of his heart.
"You kid did not do anything wrong, but do you know that you are too sharp now?"
Regarding this point, Cheng Sanlang could only nod his head honestly, and then touched his nose helplessly and complained.
"My father-in-law taught me a lesson, and my son-in-law also knew it. In fact, my son-in-law just saw Chai Laoer being shot by an arrow.
I thought at that time that I could use the topic as a way to let the brothers stretch their muscles, but I didn’t expect that it would turn out like this..."
"But having said that, my son-in-law is a soldier of the Tang Dynasty, so he can't obviously see a chance to capture this Liaodong strong city.
But just because they were concerned about such and such troubles, they did not dare to take action, which resulted in our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty paying countless lives in order to capture Liaodong City."
"My son-in-law really can't do such a thing, and he doesn't even bother to do it."
Seeing Cheng Sanlang muttering in a low voice with a depressed face, Li Shimin's eyes were filled with appreciation and relief.
Yes, it is because of this boy's temperament that I admire him very much. If everyone in the Tang Dynasty were like this...
Hmm... forget it, there is such a monster moth that gives me a headache. If all the young talents in the Tang Dynasty look like this kid, what's the point?
The Tang Dynasty only needed one Lu Guogong, one Cheng Sanlang, and one old Cheng family. If there were any more, my heart would not be able to bear it.
Li Shimin subconsciously moved the small medicine bottle tied to his waist. Once he got this thing, he instantly felt that his life safety was guaranteed to a certain extent.
But this thing hanging on the waist is like the lady Guanyin and the maid reminding me all the time, don't be angry or excited.
Well, naturally the lady tied this small jade porcelain vase to herself so that she would carry it with her wherever she goes.
Seeing Li Shimin staring blankly at the empty plate on the table, Cheng Chubi suddenly felt a little guilty and asked in a low voice.
"My father-in-law, you are hungry. How about my son-in-law get you some snacks?"
"What snack?"
"My son-in-law got some grilled snow flakes and shredded squid from Dengzhou. They are great for drinking or as snacks."
"My son-in-law has just gotten out of surgery not long ago, but he has already sent a lot to Luoyang. I think my mother-in-law and the emperor should have received it."
Hearing this, Li Shimin nodded happily. He was indeed his beloved son-in-law, and he always made people feel at ease.
"Haha, you boy, okay, I want to have a good taste."
In fact, whether it is shredded squid or grilled fish fillets, the most important thing is to let the water disappear. Of course, the baking technique is also very particular.
If it is not baked well, the salty smell will be too strong, and the ingredients will easily deteriorate due to excessive moisture. If it is over-baked, it will have a lake smell, which can only be a bad review.
Therefore, the best way is to bake it to produce a subtle burnt aroma, and it is best to have a golden color on the surface. After it cools down, wrap it with oil paper and seal it with fish glue.
This can be regarded as a pollution-free, degradable and environmentally friendly food bag made by Cheng Sanlang in this era.

Li Shimin picked up a thin piece of grilled fish fillet and bit into a corner. In an instant, the already crispy fish meat melted in his mouth, and the delicious salty taste also made people's eyes brighten.
"Not bad, this stuff has really great flavor."
"Hey, have some more of this shredded squid, it's perfect with wine."
"...Okay, what about the wine?"
"My father-in-law, please wait a moment. My son-in-law will come as soon as he goes."
Then, Zhao Kun saw that Cheng Sanlang had copied a porcelain bottle with disinfectant alcohol written on it. After pulling off the bottle cap, the rich and familiar aroma of the wine instantly began to overflow in the cabin.
Seeing his father-in-law's darkened face, Cheng Sanlang said in a thick-skinned manner.
"My father-in-law, my son-in-law's original medical alcohol has been used up during operations after the previous wars.
In the moment of urgency, I can only use His Highness Prince Qi’s collection to replenish the inventory, which can be sterilized anyway..."
Seeing Cheng Sanlang naturally dragging his own son from Dengzhou, thousands of miles away, as a scapegoat, Li Shimin's expression became distorted.
"Shut up, I. You two are nothing but venomous creatures."
