Chapter 251: Missed seeing him grow up with my own eyes
Looking at the pile of blackened bamboo tubes on the table.
Li Shimin suddenly felt like he had been cheated.
"Is this what you call delicious?"
He now has the urge to push this kid to the ground and beat him.
Seeing this, Li Chengqian hurriedly said: "Father, this is really delicious."
"If you don't believe it, look..."
As he spoke, Li Chengqian stepped forward, picked up a thinner bamboo tube, and split it in half with a knife.
The moment the bamboo was split, the aroma suddenly filled the air.
Li Shimin looked down.
I saw half of the bamboo tube filled with sauce-yellow rice.
The rice was mixed with many ingredients, including pork and some things he had never seen before.
Li Chengqian held half of the bamboo tube with a flattering smile on his face: "Father, please try it."
Li Shimin frowned, picked up the chopsticks and took a bite, and his expression suddenly changed.
The rice is soft and chewy, and the pork is full of aroma.
At this time, when Li Chengqian handed Li Shimin another pot of shochu filled with bamboo, Li Shimin felt an unprecedented feeling.
The feeling is like being in a bamboo forest, hidden in the world, and giving you a feeling of being carefree and immortal.
Seeing that Li Shimin has been completely conquered by the bamboo tube rice.
Li Chengqian hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and opened all the other larger bamboo tubes.
Each bamboo tube contains the same dish.
There are potato stewed chicken nuggets, sugar-coated sweet potatoes, and corn stewed pork ribs...
Where had Li Shimin seen these things?
No need to eat, just smell it and your saliva will flow out.
After hesitating for a moment, Li Shimin no longer had any scruples.
In front of everyone, he started to feast.
Seeing Li Shimin wolfing down the food quickly, Li Chengqian quickly grabbed the remaining bowls and chopsticks and began to compete with his father for food.
While fighting for food with me, he did not forget to say to the dumbfounded people beside him: "Huai Liang, Brother Chong, and uncle, don't be stunned, come and eat together..." …”
The power of the Bamboo Banquet cannot be overstated.
Li Shimin almost completely forgot the purpose of his coming here.
This also corresponds to what Li Chengqian said: after eating this thing, you will even forget your mother's name...
…
Wait until you are full of wine and food.
Li Shimin burped comfortably.
He had forgotten how long it had been since he had eaten so well.
In the eyes of outsiders, he is the emperor, and there is nothing in the world that they cannot obtain.
What they eat every day must be the most delicious food in the world.
Moreover, Li Chengqian also helped him train so many royal chefs, who prepared delicious dishes for him in different styles every day.
But despite this, it is not as enjoyable as eating the new cuisine developed by Li Chengqian.
Even Li Shimin himself couldn't tell the difference.
After all, he likes to eat Li Chengqian's food.
I still simply like the feeling of eating with Li Chengqian.
No matter what.
This small crisis was resolved by Li Chengqian with a delicious meal.
Wait until after eating.
Only then did Li Shimin really start to look at the room he was in.
This is a very ordinary mud room with two rooms in total, one is the master bedroom and the other is the kitchen.
The stove in the kitchen and the fire pit in the master bedroom are no different from ordinary people's homes in the north.
Li Shimin glanced at Li Chengqian: "Do you usually live here?"
"Of course."
Li Chengqian introduced Li Shimin one by one with excitement on his face.
"This is where I usually draw drawings."
"This is where I usually eat, and this is where I usually sleep..."
Father and son have not seen each other for a long time.
Not only Li Shimin will miss Li Chengqian, but Li Chengqian will also miss him.
At this moment, he only had one thought in his mind, and that was to talk to Li Shimin more.
See his happy look.
Li Shimin suddenly felt very sad.
He came to Mobei Road to lead the people to reclaim farmland and live and eat with them.
This can indeed show that Li Chengqian is fundamentally different from others.
But in the final analysis, he is just a child in his early ten years.
Li Shimin raised his hand and patted his shoulder: "It's been a hard time for you these days..."
"how come."
Li Chengqian bared his teeth and said with a smile: "How could I have suffered so much for myself? Look at how well I eat and drink, and I didn't starve myself to death."
Regarding his words.
Li Shimin could only express his helplessness.
It was obvious that he was trying to comfort himself.
Li Shimin sighed softly and said: "Take me out for a walk and let me see what you have achieved in the past six months."
"good."
Li Chengqian agreed happily, and then took Li Shimin and ran out.
Once upon a time, this place was just a desolate plain.
But since Li Chengqian came, the land here has been reclaimed.
Looking up, I saw a small village located on a high hill not far away.
The arrival of Li Chengqian not only revitalized this desolate land.
In order to facilitate the care of their families, the farmers he brought brought their families here and built new homes here.
Even some New Tang people who had been living on the grasslands brought their women and children over, built houses and monasteries like the Tang people, and lived a pastoral life.
See the happy scene between the New Tang Dynasty people and the Tang people.
A smile inevitably appeared on Li Shimin's face.
"It would be great if one day everyone in the world could be like this."
Li Shimin is full Face sighed: "That's the prosperous age I want."
Li Chengqian looked up at Li Shimin and chuckled: "Father will definitely see that day."
"After all, my father is the mighty Khan of Heaven."
Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but raise his head and laugh.
But gradually, his laughter became bitter.
He looked down at Li Chengqian and said: "If you are tired, just tell me and I will send someone to take over immediately. You can also go back to Chang'an to have a good rest."
"I want it too."
Li Chengqian looked at the vast farmland in front of him and said, "But I still have a lot of things to do."
“Compared to the entire Hetao area, these farmlands now are still too small.”
He turned to look at Li Shimin, bared his teeth and said, "After all, I want to fulfill my promise to my father."
…
Because this trip was incognito.
Li Shimin could not stay here for too long.
He also wants to return to Chang'an City and continue to be his emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, he only stayed with Li Chengqian for two days before setting off back to Chang'an.
On the day he left, Li Chengqian walked to the ferry with watermelon in his arms.
After getting on the boat, Li Shimin waved to Li Chengqian: "Go back, I will come again when I have free time."
"Father, don't forget to help me take care of my mother."
Li Chengqian also waved his hand and said: "Don't worry and don't let the Queen Mother worry about me. Everything is fine here."
"On New Year's Eve, I will return to Chang'an to greet my mother in person."
Hearing this, Li Shimin grinned and smiled silently.
My son has indeed grown up.
He is not as naughty as he was two years ago.
But because of this, Li Shimin suddenly felt as if a piece of his heart was missing.
When he saw Li Chengqian's increasingly upright figure, he couldn't help but pursed his lips.
I seem to have missed seeing him grow up with my own eyes...
