I receive courier in Datang

Chapter 231 Home Cooking

After training Xiaocui and Xiaoningzi, Li Chengqian felt that they had mastered the essence of cross talk sketches, so he let them perform.

The two looked at each other and began to perform. It was a bloody love sketch. It seemed that the two had watched these things a lot, and they actually acted well.

In fact, it was just for fun. Li Chengqian didn't plan to watch any real, connotative, and funny sketches, so it would be good to just watch a little bit of this shit.

In fact, the main reason is that the current entertainment activities are not in line with Li Chengqian's appetite. He really likes to relax by lying down and watching TV and movies, but it is obviously not possible now.

"Haha, you two performed well, you need to practice more, because I will be rewarded a lot." Li Chengqian said.

Ten strings each, the two were pleasantly surprised that making money can be so easy, it's so comfortable.

With the money, the two went back to rest, and Li Chengqian rested with them. They had no choice but to install an air conditioner, so they could only sleep together. It was the first time that they slept together.

The Ministry of Industry was already studying Li Chengqian's air conditioner, and praised it from time to time.

This air conditioner is roughly like a fireplace, but it is very different from a fireplace.

The chimney of the fireplace was originally a smoke exhaust, but now it is a ventilation channel, and outside this channel is a chimney.

The basic principle of the air conditioner is that the top hydraulic fan continuously blows in the wind, while the surrounding chimneys provide heat to heat the outside air to a suitable temperature.

In this way, there will be a continuous flow of fresh, warm air flowing in. Although the design is very simple, there are many things inside that are still worthy of study.

Especially the transmission device surprised the Ministry of Industry.

This air conditioner is not affordable for ordinary people. It uses coke to heat the air, and the ones used in the palace are just coal.

Li Chengqian's statement seemed very casual: "Coke has strong firepower, keeps your home warm, and lasts longer than coal."

Such a big fanfare for air conditioning made Li Chengqian very uncomfortable, so he decided to satisfy himself by eating some home-cooked food.

The final dishes are: fried pork with chili, cold cucumber, cold tomato, and steamed noodles for dinner.

Very simple home cooked meals, and as for the value, almost priceless.

Since it is home-cooked food, it is natural to eat it with the family.

Li Chengqian tentatively invited Li Er to have this home-cooked meal, and at the same time, invited the eldest grandson empress.

Both of them came happily, and Li Chengqian did not invite anyone else.

That's right, a meal that was already very precious, the more people called for it, the less he could eat it.

The three dishes, steamed noodles, are all Li Chengqian's recipes, especially the steamed noodles, which are indeed the taste of his hometown.

Chunks of potatoes, old beans, pork, and the most classic steamed noodles are in place.

Li Er and Empress Changsun, who arrived earlier, were very curious about the Prince's Mansion. All the things here were very novel. They had only heard of them before, but had never seen them in person.

"Take me and your mother for a stroll." Li Er said.

Anyway, there was still a while before dinner, so Li Chengqian agreed to Li Er's request.

After walking a few steps, Li Er suddenly said: "Gao Ming, this top won't fall down, will it?"

The corners of Li Chengqian's eyes twitched, what's the problem?Who has nothing to do to worry about whether the house will collapse or not?

Li Chengqian said: "Father, don't worry, these glasses are fixed very well and will not fall off. It is as strong as the roof."

Li Er said: "Gao Ming, I know very well that what you use is glass. Glass is very fragile and will break easily. How can it be as strong as the roof?"

"But I used iron brackets, which greatly strengthened the strength of the glass. Now, it can definitely be compared with the roof of an ordinary house." Li Chengqian said.

Empress Changsun laughed: "This is quite good, quite comfortable, bright and not afraid of the cold."

Li Er: "Haha, I think this is superfluous. What are you going to do with the snow in winter?"

Li Chengqian was taken aback, that's right, if the snow in winter was thick, it would definitely crush the glass, if Li Er didn't say it, he wouldn't have thought of this.

"Father really thinks it through, I will make preparations in advance, if it is really crushed by snow, I will lose a lot!" Li Chengqian said.

With that said, the three of them came to the vegetable field, with some beans in front of them.

Li Er stared at these long beans, not knowing what to say.

Li Chengqian introduced: "These things are called beans. The slender ones are called cowpeas. They are eaten cold, while the thick ones are delicious stir-fried."

Li Er reached out, picked off a green bean, and then took a bite.

Li Chengqian: "???"

How do you taste raw beans?It's hard to imagine for those who haven't tried it. It can only be said that the disgusting taste is hard to swallow!

"Bah, bah, bah! Gao Ming, why are these beans so unpalatable, I really want to vomit!" Li Er said.

Li Chengqian wanted to cry, but not all vegetables can be eaten raw!Why don't you eat potatoes raw?
Li Chengqian said: "Beans must be cooked to be delicious, and you can't stop eating them."

Li Er frowned: "I will trust you for now, do you want to try it? Maid of Guanyin."

Empress Changsun naturally shook her head, she was not stupid, Li Er vomited!

After walking for a while, the three of them saw Wangcai and the kitten playing on the mosquito repellent grass.

Li Er: "???"

The cat is playing with the bird?In other words, the bird is playing with the cat?No, it doesn’t make sense no matter what you say!

Li Er was directly confused.

He rubbed his temples, and he didn't even want to ask about it. Strange things happen every year, especially this year.

The flopping of Wangcai and the kitten attracted Li Er's attention, but Li Er didn't notice that the grass on the ground was the priceless mosquito repellent.

After wandering around for a while, the food in the stomach was digested more completely, and everyone was a little hungry.

Xiao Cui: "Saint, empress, the home-cooked meal prepared by Your Highness is ready."

She specifically emphasized that this is a home-cooked meal. Of course, it was Li Chengqian who asked her to emphasize this point.

Several people came to the dinner table.

Empress Changsun said: "Let your two concubines have dinner together."

Li Er said nothing and acquiesced to Queen Changsun's words.

Not long after, Mo Yu and Luo Li came. When Mo Yu saw Empress Changsun, she lowered her head, looking like a young lady.

Li Chengqian: "???"

The usual chivalrous girl has now become Xiaojiabiyu?What's happening here?Li Chengqian fainted.

Empress Changsun looked at the two of them, she said: "Gao Ming, you are blessed, these two beauties who are like flowers and jade are really cheap for you!"

Li Chengqian smiled awkwardly, and said, "Let's eat."

The steamed noodles were served separately, and Li Chengqian began to introduce the dishes on the table.

"This is called Chili Fried Pork. It uses freshly picked chili peppers or green peppers. It is very comfortable to eat and tastes better than chili sauce." Li Chengqian said.

"Unripe things are green. Are your peppers not ripe?" Li Er asked.

Li Er's question really stumped Li Chengqian.

Chili peppers can be eaten when they are green. Of course, they can also be eaten when they are red. When making chili noodles, red chili peppers are used, which gives everyone the impression that the chili noodles are red.

Li Chengqian thought about it, and decided to talk about it.

Li Chengqian said: "When the peppers are green, the flesh is plump, which is the best time to fry them. When they are red, they do not have the same refreshing taste as when they are green. They are spicier and are not suitable for use as vegetables and can only be used as seasonings." use."

Li Er nodded: "I see, I have gained knowledge again!"

He picked up a chopstick, a piece of chili pepper and a piece of pork, and put them into his mouth together.

Li Er's eyes brightened immediately, the smell is absolutely amazing!
Empress Changsun asked, "Saint, how does it taste?"

"The taste... can't stop!" Li Er said.

Empress Changsun: "..."

Can't stop, okay?She simply convinced Li Er.

She also tried to take a bite, and then found that she really couldn't stop!

The spicy taste, coupled with the chewiness of the pork, makes people unable to resist eating one after another.

Of course, she still had to pay attention to her own image. After taking a few bites, she stopped and drank some water.

Li Er didn't care about so much. He ate very happily. It can be seen from the meal he invited Li Chengqian and Li Chunfeng to have last time. He also liked this kind of simple home-cooked meals.

Home-cooked dishes using precious ingredients are more in line with Li Er's requirements.

While eating, Li Er did not forget to say: "Everyone eat too!"

If he eats like this, who would dare to eat it?
Mo Yu and Luo Li just ate the steamed noodles in their bowls lightly.

The steamed noodles are really delicious!Both of them felt that this noodle was very simple to make to the naked eye, but when the simple ingredients were put together, a magical reaction occurred.

Li Er saw that the two of them were not eating vegetables and said, "You guys are eating vegetables!"

"In fact, steamed noodles are also very fragrant." Li Chengqian said.

It was only then that Li Er noticed the steamed noodles in the bowl. These noodles looked a bit thick, and the seasoning seemed insufficient. Most of the noodles looked like colorless white noodles.

It doesn't look like much at first glance!

Li Chengqian picked up a piece of noodles with chopsticks and ate it, and then added a piece of potato with two knots of beans, it was delicious.

Yes, beans!When Li Er saw the beans, a strange taste filled his mouth.

"I'd better try other dishes." Li Er said.

After he finished speaking, he tried the cold cucumber, it was very refreshing, and he couldn't help but eat a few more bites, and then the tomato, he nodded again, yes, this home-cooked meal is really comfortable to eat.

Empress Changsun was not afraid of beans. She picked up a mouthful of steamed noodles, put them in her mouth, and chewed them comfortably. She likes light food very much.

Everyone did not eat vegetables, but liked steamed noodles very much. This situation puzzled Li Er.

"We are a family banquet. Everyone can eat whatever they want. Although I have an amazing appetite, you don't have to let me like this. There are a lot of these dishes, and everyone can eat enough." Li Er said.

However, the people who were attracted by the steamed noodles ignored Li Er's words at all, and only occasionally took a bite of the dish to change the taste.

He finally figured it out. It's not because everyone is afraid of him that they don't eat vegetables, but because the steamed noodles are really delicious.

He tried to take a sip.

"Huh? This noodles, these beans, and these potatoes are so delicious!" Li Er said.

The servants looked at the people who were eating noodles crazily, and they all looked elsewhere.

No one dares to believe it!Several people at the peak of power in the Tang Dynasty were actually eating a kind of noodles that looked tasteless!
Moreover, everyone eats so seriously, as if they are eating something delicious again!
"Hmm, I found that it's delicious to put the fried pork with chili into the steamed noodles and eat it together." Li Chengqian said.

Everyone tried it and it was really delicious. The steamed noodles had a little more spiciness and were delicious.

A whole table of food was eaten by several people.Everyone began to rest and rest on their chairs.

At this time, the air conditioner caught Li Er's attention, and he discovered that this thing that looked like an unknown hole was constantly blowing out wind.

This wind is very comfortable, very fresh hot air.

Li Er was surprised. This thing was very good. He didn't even have such good things in his own residence.

Li Er asked, "What is this?"

"Air conditioner." Li Chengqian said.

Li Er rolled his eyes: "Say something I can understand!"

Li Chengqian thought for a while and said, "The ventilation duct can be heated."

Li Er stroked his chin and thought for a while: "I seem to understand what you are talking about. This is like a window, but it can warm the air passing by."

Li Chengqian nodded: "Yes, father, that's the principle."

When he said this, he felt a little regretful, how could he turn the summer wind into a cool breeze?He didn't know, maybe some ice cubes or something should be used.

"It's a good thing, it's called an air conditioner, isn't it superfluous? Isn't the earth dragon more comfortable?" Li Er said.

Dilong is a tunnel dug under the house. In winter, hot air can flow inside, making the home warmer.

It's just that only people like Li Er can afford this thing, and no one else can afford it.

Li Chengqian said: "Of course I can't use this thing, so that I can sleep comfortably at night."

He told Li Er about the side effects of these dishes in the Prince's Mansion, and Li Er seemed to understand.

"In other words, these dishes of yours can actually breathe?" Li Er said in surprise.

Li Chengqian: "No, all plants breathe."

Li Er said: "It's amazing! The Great Thousand World is so amazing!"

He decided to believe in Li Chengqian.

Empress Changsun said: "Your Majesty, this air conditioner is very good, and I want to get one too."

"I'll leave this matter to you, Gao Ming." Li Er said.

"Yes."

When it was time for the two to leave, Li Er said, "From now on, I want the whole world to eat these dishes!"

"There will be such a day." Li Chengqian said.

"If you feel uncomfortable living in the Prince's Mansion, you can move out. I am not unreasonable." Li Er said.

"Thank you, Father!" Li Chengqian said.

In fact, living here is still very good, but since Li Er said so, he has an explanation.

The saint asked him to find a place to live outside!Doesn't this give him a reasonable and legal reason to buy a house and land?
He is not short of money, what he lacks is a suitable reason.

After Li Er left, Li Chengqian shouted excitedly: "I want to spend money! I want to spend money according to the order!"

Everyone: "..."

Inhumane!
