Out of curiosity, Li Sheng walked towards the living room.
Then... I saw a familiar face. It was really Lao Li's wife. She was holding a pink and jade-carved little girl in her hand. She was about eight years old. She was as cute as a porcelain doll.
""
…
This old Li's wife is naturally the Empress Changsun.
I can't help but miss you this time, but as a queen, I can't move around easily.
But Queen Changsun still thought of a good reason.
My daughter, Changle, is old enough and has done well in elementary education. It’s time to find an expert as a teacher for her to further her education!
There is obviously no problem with finding a teacher for a girl. After all, even if you are a queen, there is nothing wrong with respecting teachers and teaching.
Besides... Du Ruhui and other ministers were impressed by Sheng'er's talent!
No, taking advantage of the good sunshine on this day, Queen Changsun took her daughter out.
…
After meeting Queen Changsun, Li Sheng naturally noticed the little girl.
His eyes are quick-witted but very well-behaved, and he is obviously well-educated.
Li Sheng always felt that this child's little face... looked inexplicably familiar, but he couldn't tell where it was.
"Madam, this child..."
"This is the little girl in the family, her name is... her nickname is Lele. Lele, please salute Master!"
Changle Yingying stood up and bowed her hands respectfully to Li Sheng.
Li Er immediately laughed, this child was very well-behaved.
"Madam, this child is..."
He raised his head as he spoke, his eyes a little confused.
What does it mean to call Master?
"This is the youngest daughter in the family. She has done well in elementary school and has very good qualifications!"
"Isn't that what I'm thinking about? The young master is known as the Little Taibao, and he is talented in both arts and martial arts. If you don't mind it, how about accepting this kid as a disciple?"
That's right, Queen Changsun wanted to let Changle become her disciple so that she could have a chance to see her child in the future!
By the way, you can also bring things for your children and give them pocket money or something.
It was the early Tang Dynasty, but many customs and concepts that were praised by later generations had already begun to become popular. For example, letting the daughter of the family study was deviant and abnormal in the Song Dynasty with strict etiquette, but it was different in the Tang Dynasty. This was normal.
But that's it.
Of course, there are also talented women in other dynasties, but society as a whole denies this kind of thing. Occasionally, a female poet who writes two poems is considered a talented woman.
Only in the Tang Dynasty did it become completely common for women to study.
Li Sheng naturally knew this and understood it immediately.
Considering that I have become rich recently, I really don't need the supplementary tuition fees for part-time tutors... Although being a one-to-one tutor for Mrs. Li's daughter will definitely pay off a lot.
But... Li Sheng is used to seeing naughty children, and this little girl's upbringing is really refreshing to Li Sheng.
From the moment he walked in, his big black eyes looked around curiously.
But he was very well-behaved and did not bump or run around, nor did he make any noise like ordinary children.
Li Sheng appreciated this very much.
Moreover, he always felt that he had an inexplicable affinity with this child.
So after thinking for a while, Li Sheng nodded immediately.
"What does this mean? Since she is Madam's precious daughter, I will naturally nurture her with all my heart!"
"That's good, that's good!"
Li Sheng nodded, and Empress Changsun narrowed her eyes happily.
This child is also very close to Changle, and he is indeed his biological child...
…
Then Li Sheng looked at the little girl and said, "Since you're hanging out with me, it won't do you any good. Let's go, I will take you to eat mashed potatoes with milk!"
During the Tang Dynasty, when all nations came to court, eating beef was a severe punishment, but the custom of drinking milk did exist.
Both Queen Changsun and Changle knew about this, but they had never heard of what "mashed potatoes" was.
After Li Sheng finished speaking, he took the little girl and walked towards the back door of the front hall. Queen Changsun was curious and naturally followed her.
…
Exited the front hall and the back door.
It's a corridor, then the backyard.
Beyond the backyard are several acres of green fields.
There are unknown types of plants growing faintly green on it. They look very lush, but they seem to be...neither vegetables such as sativas or water chestnuts, nor grains.
Empress Changsun showed a puzzled look, "What kind of thing is this?"
"This? Potatoes, do you want to make mashed potatoes? Pick...oh, there are ready-made ones."
As he spoke, he walked towards the edge of the field.
Looking at Li Sheng's figure, Queen Changsun frowned slightly.
It's "soil" beans and "mud" again. It doesn't sound like a good meal. Children eat this...
I seem to remember eating it in a Teppanyaki restaurant before. But I was so emotional at the time that I really can’t remember what it was like.
As a mother, her biggest worry is that her children will not eat well.
But since the child seemed to like it very much, she naturally endured it first.
…
The land next to Li Sheng's small house was wasteland that he reclaimed by himself this year. After only half a year, he went through various treatments and it is now fertile land.
However, Li Sheng was not sure whether the soil quality had been improved enough, so he only planted potatoes, from which the potatoes used in various dishes come from.
Next to the field stalks, there was a small basket containing a few potatoes. Apparently the maid had picked them and put them here.
Li Sheng directly picked up the basket and said, "Madam, Lele, please come with me, the freshly made ones are the most delicious!"
There was no reason why Empress Changsun wouldn't want to eat the food cooked by her own children, so she naturally agreed with a smile, but she was still curious.
"Just now you were talking about mashed potatoes. Who did you think you were? Why should I give mashed potatoes to my children? Haha!"
"Ma'am, you're joking. You can't eat dirt with your children, right? Besides, madam doesn't know something. I'm not very good at other cooking skills, but when it comes to wine making, barbecue, and mashed potatoes, I'm the best at it.
!”
Li Sheng was right. He used to make late-night snacks by himself, which basically consisted of these three things.
Empress Changsun looked at the child with a smile and felt that the child had really grown up.
then……
Li Sheng naturally came to the kitchen and started making.
sliced, cooked…
The potatoes didn't take long to cook. Then I took out a large porcelain vat I bought specifically for making mashed potatoes and pounded them into mashed potatoes...
After a while, it's done!
After doing it, the aroma wafted out.
Mixed with the fragrance of potatoes and the strong fragrance of milk, Changle couldn't help it. He couldn't help but beg his mother to go to the kitchen and see his master.
Queen Changsun was also secretly surprised.
What kind of food does this child cook? She and Chang Le tasted all the delicacies in the palace, but this unique sweetness really made her...
Even before it’s served, my index fingers are already moving!
When Li Shengzhen came to the front hall carrying three plates.
The moment she saw the mashed potatoes, Queen Changsun's eyes lit up.
The food on the plate seemed to be some kind of soup, with a light bright yellow color and a texture like piled snow, extremely delicate.
"This is... mashed potatoes?"
Empress Changsun felt that this name was not very good, but she did not expect that this thing was so expensive just by looking at it.
