Chapter 6 I'm Afraid That The Little Shopkeeper Will Be Unhappy
"Auxiliary machine, when you were in the backyard of the tavern just now, did you smell a medicinal smell?"
On the street outside the tavern, Li Shimin put his hands behind his back, looked at the photos in the tavern, and asked Changsun Wuji.
Changsun Wuji pondered for a moment, recalling what he had seen in the backyard of the tavern.
"The good news is that what Zhao Chen is playing with in the backyard is not ordinary flowers and plants, but some medicinal herbs."
"In the middle of the yard, under the sun, we also use a dustpan to dry herbs." Changsun Wuji nodded and said.
"Sure enough, he is suffering from a hidden illness!"
Li Shimin felt a little regretful.
Such a genius has a hidden disease.
Except for the crown prince Li Chengqian, almost everyone in the Tang Dynasty royal family suffered from hidden diseases, which was like a curse.
Li Shimin suffered from "headache", "vertigo" and "tinnitus". Empress Changsun had asthma, Qingque and Pheasant slave also had their own hidden diseases.
Shaking his head and brushing away the regret in his heart, Li Shimin took steps towards the Imperial City of the Tang Dynasty.
…
"Guanyin maid, does it taste good?"
The Tai Chi Palace established the Zhengdian Hall. Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty put on his dragon robe, with a smile on his calm and authoritative face.
In front of him was a graceful, skillful and elegant woman.
The woman is Wugu, the eldest grandson of the Empress of the Tang Dynasty.
Empress Changsun held a jade plate in her hand, and in the jade plate was a small piece of cream cake.
The jade spoon gently scraped a little of the cream cake and slowly put it into her mouth. Empress Changsun's eyebrows were filled with joy and the corners of her lips were raised.
Apparently he really likes the taste of cream cake.
"Your Majesty is interested!" Empress Changsun said with a smile.
It was so delicious, it was her first time to taste it.
But more importantly, Li Shimin went out of the palace to visit in secret, and he never forgot himself in the palace.
This makes Empress Changsun happy more than anything she eats.
"As long as you like it!" A rare smile appeared on Li Shimin's stern face.
"This thing is called cream cake. I found it today at a tavern called Wangyou Tavern in Pingkangfang, Chang'an City!" Li Shimin sat down and took the initiative to introduce the origin of the cream cake to Queen Changsun.
"Chang'an City actually has such delicious food?" Queen Changsun was a little surprised.
"That's right. The owner of the tavern is a strange man. He is only about the same age as Cheng Qian." Li Shimin nodded, with a hint of sigh on his face.
"Ask Chang Le to come to her mother's palace and tell her that I and she will bring back some food!" Li Shimin waved to the eunuch waiting beside him and picked up the calligraphy words he had just brought back from Zhao Chen.
Empress Changsun is a master of calligraphy and even knows calligraphy better than Li Shimin.
After bringing good things from Zhao Chen, Li Shimin also wanted to share them with Empress Changsun.
"Your Majesty has gained a lot today." Empress Changsun put down the jade plate and looked at Li Shimin with a smile.
Although the words have not been published yet, based on Queen Changsun's understanding of Li Shimin, she must have gained a lot today.
Otherwise Li Shimin would not be like this.
"Yes, I had a lunch at the strange man's place and used the Qinglin jade pendant around my waist as food. Naturally, I had to bring something back!" Li Shimin said with a smile.
Empress Changsun glanced at Li Shimin in surprise.
Although the green scale jade pendant is not a top treasure, it is still extremely valuable.
The key jade pendant is Li Shimin's favorite thing and has been worn around his waist for more than ten years.
Today, I handed over such precious things to others just because of a meal.
It's really hard to understand.
Until Queen Changsun saw the slowly unfolding words.
"this--"
As the words unfolded, Queen Changsun's beautiful eyes suddenly trembled, and a look of disbelief flashed across her face.
"The bamboo stick and mango shoes can beat the horse easily. Who is afraid? A raincoat can be used for life."
On the rice paper, the pen moves like a dragon and a snake.
Like a dragon coming out of the sea, like a tiger returning to the mountains.
Unrestrained and unrestrained, flowing like clouds and flowing water.
Such wonderful calligraphy has never been seen before.
The beautiful eyes of Empress Changsun could not leave the rice paper for a long time.
Several palace maids waiting around stood on tiptoe and glanced at the words on the rice paper, and their expressions changed.
They followed Empress Changsun in this deep palace and saw the works of countless famous calligraphers.
At a glance, this kind of calligraphy is not inferior to that of the calligraphy sage Wang Xizhi.
At that time, no one could match him.
"No wonder Your Majesty is in a good mood today. There are such strange people in Chang'an City." Empress Changsun calmed down and said with a smile.
But he asked curiously: "This cream cake was also made by this strange man?"
"Exactly, in addition to this cream cake, the auxiliary machine and I also had a meal of pork in that tavern today."
"Pork?" Queen Changsun was stunned.
How could such a lowly person, the Nine-Fifth Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, be able to use chopsticks?
"Mr. Guanyin, you don't know something. Today's braised pork, in the hands of the little shopkeeper, doesn't have any strange taste at all."
"That braised pork is so fragrant and glutinous. It's thousands of times better than beef. I was almost unable to walk today."
"The auxiliary machine even told me that he wanted to eat some more, but he was just afraid that the shopkeeper would be unhappy."
"In two days, I am going to buy this secret method with a heavy gift. In the future, pork will definitely become the mainstream meat in our Tang Dynasty!" Li Shimin looked quite excited.
Seeing how excited Li Shimin was, Queen Changsun couldn't help but be quite curious about the strange little shopkeeper he mentioned.
"Your Majesty admires this person so much, please let me go with you next time. If it is convenient, I would also like to learn how to make braised pork!" Empress Changsun said with a smile.
Rather than learning how to make braised pork, Empress Changsun was even more curious about what kind of person this strange person was who could be so highly praised by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
"Okay, in two days, Maid Guanyin will go with me..."
"Father, Emperor, Mother!"
As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, he heard crisp shouts from outside the hall.
A pretty figure ran in from outside the hall, bringing with it a fragrant breeze.
"Azhi——"
Queen Changsun frowned slightly and shouted softly.
Princess Changle, who was running in like a storm, stopped immediately, walked forward slowly, and greeted Li Shimin and Queen Changsun: "Changle pays homage to the emperor and the queen!"
Seeing Princess Changle acting like this, Empress Changsun relaxed her brows.
As the empress of the Tang Dynasty, she was a role model for women all over the world.
If you don't even have the etiquette your own daughter should have, how can you set an example for women?
"Azhi, your father brought some novel food from outside the palace and specially left it for you. Come and try it!" Empress Changsun returned to her motherly smile and waved to the maid behind her.
Empress Changsun still felt a little uncomfortable with the name "cream cake".
Princess Changle, a little girl, was naturally filled with joy when she heard about novel food.
The palace maid next to her took a small piece of it on a jade plate and handed it to Princess Changle respectfully.
Princess Changle took it and took a small bite curiously under the gaze of everyone.
The milk is soft and glutinous, sweet but not greasy. Princess Changle instantly felt extremely happy.
"How does it taste?" Li Shimin asked with a smile.?
