If only Old Li Tou had known that there was something so fragrant hidden in the "steamed bun" in front of him.
How can I say those words just now?
At this moment, seeing Zhao Chen extending his sinful hand to another steamed bun, Old Li Tou could not sit still.
He even lost the chopsticks in his hand, grabbed the basket that he had snatched before, and held the remaining three large white steamed buns in front of him.
Before Li Ruoshuang put the steamed bun in her hand into her mouth, she was shocked when she saw the emperor's sudden excitement.
This is not the high and mighty Emperor, he is clearly a vagrant protecting food on the street.
Li Ruoshuang looked at Zhao Chen strangely.
Empress Changsun also looked embarrassed, secretly wondering why His Majesty the Emperor was behaving like this today.
"Ahem, you guys eat that. Feel free to eat, I think if Zhao Chen wants to maintain such a figure, it's best to eat less."
"Mr. Guanyin, this one is for you, Ruoshuang, this one is for you, and the last one will be eaten by a certain boy Zhao!"
Even Li Shimin himself found the excuse he found a bit embarrassing.
But no matter how embarrassed he was, he didn't want to push this delicious food away.
This was the first time he saw a steamed bun that looked like a steamed bun, but contained gravy inside.
Just taking a breath of the fragrance into your nose will arouse your hunger.
Zhao Chen looked at Lao Li, who was making his own decisions in front of him, dividing the steamed buns, and for a moment he didn't know what to say to him.
The three words "shameless" fit perfectly with the image of Lao Litou.
"Old Li Tou, that's not what you said just now." Zhao Chen still remembered Old Li Tou's expression of disappointment and dissatisfaction when he opened the cage.
"What did X say?"
"You didn't say anything!" Lao Litou was bitten to death. No one except Zhao Chen would question him.
He just doesn't acknowledge what he just said.
"Hmm -" Lao Litou took a bite and felt that his mouth was filled with sweet gravy.
The outer skin is coated with soup, and it tastes much better than chewing dry steamed bun heads before.
The soup inside dripped on his sleeve, and Lao Litou went to lick his sleeve out of nowhere.
When he raised his head, he saw Zhao Chen and the others looking at him helplessly.
The old face turned red.
Pretending to be calm, he said: "I have been emphasizing frugality. This soup also took a lot of effort. It is not good to waste it."
"You guys, don't let it go to waste. Of course, if you can't finish it, I can help you eat it. Well, the premise is that you haven't touched it."
"You're here to cheat on food and drink, right?" Zhao Chen slapped Lao Li back with just one sentence.
Good guy, you have taken shamelessness to the extreme.
Not only did he cover up his embarrassing situation, he also set his sights on the untouched steamed buns.
Pooh!
"Your Majesty, my concubine will be full after just one meal. I'll leave this to you." As the queen, of course Empress Changsun had to support Lao Li Tou.
Otherwise, it would be very uncomfortable for Lao Li to direct and act alone here.
The steamed buns that were still in the bowl were put into Lao Li Tou's bowl.
"Tsk, Mr. Zhao, are you envious?" Lao Litou took the buns from the bowl with a proud look on his face.
"Zhao Chen, you worked hard at Mingde Gate today. I'm not very hungry today, so I'll give you these two." Zhao Chen was about to speak when he saw Li Ruoshuang beside him giving himself both of the steamed buns in the bowl.
.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Old Li Tou, how are you? Are you envious?" Zhao Chen grabbed a steamed bun in one hand and returned to him exactly what Old Li Tou said to him just now.
Lao Litou immediately felt that the steamed buns in his hand no longer tasted good!
Why is this guy so arrogant?
Isn’t it great to have a beautiful and virtuous wife?
Who hasn’t?
Old Li Tou hummed a few words in his heart, but stopped talking.
I only have one, but I can’t compare to two!
"Ruoshuang, we are not like old Li Tou, who only cares about eating for himself and leaving my aunt aside."
"Ah, open your mouth and I'll feed you." Zhao Chen broke open a small piece of steamed bun and stuck it into Li Ruoshuang's mouth.
If everyone was watching, Li Ruoshuang wouldn't care and would even feel particularly excited.
But at this moment, two pairs of eyes were staring at him.
Without even blinking.
She was really blushing.
"Zhao..."
"Be good, be obedient!" Zhao Chen said with a smile, and Li Ruoshuang opened her mouth slightly and quickly took the steamed buns sent by Zhao Chen with her mouth.
Before anyone could react, they turned their heads and chewed a few times, then quickly swallowed it.
Old Li Tou felt that he was humiliated by Zhao Chen today.
In front of him and Empress Changsun, she showed off her affection to Li Ruoshuang in a fancy way.
However, Queen Changsun didn't even look at herself after listening to Zhao Chen's obviously provocative words.
"Ahem, Mr. Zhao, what you just made is similar to steamed buns, but it tastes a thousand times better than steamed buns."
"What is this? Can you teach it to me? When I get back to the palace, I can show off my skills with Guanyin!" Old Li finished his meal and wiped his hands on his robe without any image.
This thought fell on the "steamed buns" that just appeared.
"We call this stuff steamed buns, filled with various fillings. Aren't they also sold in the city? Just go to them and learn." Zhao Chen explained casually.
Steamed buns first appeared in the Three Kingdoms period and were used by Zhuge Liang for sacrifices.
Later it became a food.
There are also many people selling steamed buns in Chang'an City, and they also learn to put things in steamed buns.
But this smell...
"Baozi, good name, good name." Zhao Chen didn't know why, but Old Li Tou was so excited just hearing such a name.
"Boy Zhao, can you..."
"cannot!"
Li Shimin didn't expect that Zhao Chen would refuse so quickly.
He didn't even finish what he said.
"I just want to ask, when will you make this steamed bun next time? Today, I feel that it is not very satisfying." Li Shimin made a sound in his throat twice.
It was obvious that he had eaten a lot, but when he thought about the taste just now, he seemed to be unable to hold back his saliva.
"tomorrow morning."
"Tomorrow morning? Where? Here? I asked the eunuch from the palace to come and get it?" Old Li was overjoyed.
It just so happened that after taking the buns from Zhao Chen, the court meeting was almost over.
Just in time to eat steamed buns.
If you are not busy, you can also eat while listening!
As long as that old man Wei Zheng doesn't point his nose in his nose and scold him!
"Tomorrow morning, outside Mingdemen City, remember to bring money. If you don't have money, you can't buy anything!" Zhao Chen and Lao Litou said.
Upon hearing Zhao Chen talk about Mingde Gate, he suddenly told Lao Li Tou that Zhao Chen's matter must not be that simple.
Old Li Tou and Empress Changsun sat in the Zhao Mansion for a while, said some words, and then left with Empress Changsun burping.
He even asked Li Ruoshuang to pack the leftovers for him in a dishonorable manner.
I have never heard of the emperor giving food to his ministers as a show of favor.
She really had never thought of this kind of operation by the emperor.
No one would believe that the emperor would do such a thing unless he saw it with his own eyes.?
