"Uncle Li, I won't bother you with the food that the young master will prepare in a while!"
Lawyer Pei immediately changed his tune.
"Dalang~"
Pei Li and others looked at Lawyer Pei in shock. They never thought that Da Lang, who had always been gentle and elegant, would regret so quickly!
"That's the meal cooked for me by the young master himself. Of course I can't live up to the little master's kindness!"
Lawyer Pei's face turned red, but soon his face turned righteous again.
"Yes, let Dalang make the decision."
Although they were deeply reluctant to give up, Pei Li and others could only nod in response to their master's words.
However, as the smell of rice wafting from the kitchen became stronger and stronger, Lawyer Pei, Pei Li and others suddenly found that their hands and feet were not in control. They subconsciously stood up and slowly followed the smell and walked out.
…
"Um?"
Li Xuan, who was concentrating on cooking in the kitchen, suddenly felt something strange outside the house.
I glanced outside and was suddenly startled.
Outside the kitchen window, five heads were exposed, ten pairs of eyes as big as copper bells, all looking straight at me. Their faces were full of greed, and some of them even smacked their lips from time to time.
, accidentally, there was a faint line of crystal clear water dripping down from the corners of several people's mouths.
"Are you so hungry?"
Li Xuan said subconsciously.
"My dear, please forgive me. We have never smelled such fragrant food. We subconsciously came here looking for the scent. I will leave right now!"
Lawyer Pei quickly apologized.
Then, he greeted Pei Li and the others and walked into the house.
In his mind, being able to make such fragrant food must be Li Xuan's unique secret skill.
Their behavior of lying outside the window and peeking can be regarded as stealing from the teacher.
"Where are you going?"
But he didn't expect that as soon as he turned around, he heard Li Xuan shouting.
"ah?"
Lawyer Pei was startled, turned around quickly, and looked at Li Xuan doubtfully.
"The food is almost ready. Since you happened to be here, I won't have to call you. Wash your hands first, and then come in and bring the prepared food to the dining room!" Li Xuandao.
Upon hearing this, Lawyer Pei immediately beamed with joy.
"Yes Yes!"
Immediately, he hurriedly walked to the well outside the courtyard, where there happened to be a basin of water. After washing his hands, he hurriedly walked into the kitchen.
What you see is bowls of steaming hot food.
Upon seeing this, the screams in the stomachs of several people became even louder.
In order to eat enough, Li Xuan cooked four dishes this time, as well as a pot of rice soup and a pot of big steamed buns.
Among them, braised pork ribs with radish, braised carp, scrambled eggs with leeks, and cold cabbage!
Although some seasonings are missing, Li Xuan has been searching in the mountains for several months and has found substitutes for many of the seasonings. Therefore, these dishes are all full of color, flavor and flavor, and the mouths of the greedy Lawyer Pei are watering.
Each of the five people carried a basin, and under Li Xuan's command, they came to the dining room next door.
"Where is this, young master?"
This time, Lawyer Pei seemed to have discovered something new. The room was full of things that he had never seen before.
"This is a special place for eating. It's called the dining room. This is the dining table and these are the chairs. When we have dinner, we can sit on the chairs and eat!"
Li Xuan explained.
In the Tang Dynasty, people still shared meals when eating, with one person per table.
Each person had a small table, and he was still kneeling on the straw mat while eating.
It was their first time to see several people sitting at a big round table and sharing a pot of food.
It was even the first time for them to see these large dining tables and chairs.
Therefore, when they heard that they were about to sit on these big tables to eat, Pei Li and others quickly looked up and down, and tried a few times to confirm that sitting on the chairs would not collapse, and then they asked Lawyer Pei
sit down.
As for them, they stood blankly on both sides, looking at the food on the dining table with greedy faces and drooling.
Although Lawyer Pei showed great respect to them, the elderly in the family, they still did not dare to sit at the same table with their master for dinner.
Taking advantage of this moment, Li Xuan also took out a pile of bowls and chopsticks from the cupboard on the side.
Each person was given a pottery bowl and a pair of chopsticks.
"Whatever you want to eat, just scoop it into the bowl yourself!"
After saying that, Li Xuan started to move on his own. First he filled a bowl of ribs, then some leeks and eggs, and then he held a steamed bun that was bigger than the bowl in one hand, holding chopsticks in the other, and stuffed it into his mouth.
stand up.
So delicious!
When he came to this world, Li Xuan found that he had become a living worker.
No matter what kind of food he makes, he can always eat it. He is never picky about food. The more fragrant the food, the sweeter it tastes.
Moreover, with his thin body, he has to eat at least three large steamed buns in one meal.
For example, this meal in the evening requires at least four large steamed buns to fill your stomach.
After eating, you have to have a big bowl of rice soup to feel comfortable.
Lawyer Pei on the side also imitated Li Xuan and scooped up a bowl of pork rib soup with a spoon, and then took a few bites of scrambled eggs with leeks. After one bite, his mouth was full of fragrance. These meals are more fragrant than the best restaurants in Chang'an City.
The food upstairs is a hundred times more delicious.
Moreover, Xiaofuzi’s steamed buns are also so soft and sweet!
His eyes couldn't help but widen, and he couldn't bear it anymore. He took a chopstick and stuffed it into his mouth, whether it was ribs or steamed buns. For a moment, there was a rattling sound in his mouth, and Li Xuan felt that some brittle bones,
They had all been chewed into pieces by Magistrate Pei.
Soon, one steamed bun was eaten.
"Huh?"
Just as he was preparing the next steamed bun, Li Xuan was stunned.
Looking at the four Pei Li people standing behind Lawyer Pei, they asked in confusion: "Why don't you four eat?"
"Go back to me, little master, I'll eat later!" Pei Li quickly replied.
However, when I was replying, I was still swallowing hard and my stomach was actively matching the sound effects.
"After a while, the food and the head will get cold and it won't taste good. Hurry up and sit down and eat!" Li Xuandao.
"Thank you very much for your kindness, young master, but how dare we lowly people eat at the same table as the master? Please forgive me for not being able to obey!"
Pei Li surrendered again.
"Um!"
After hearing this, Li Xuan nodded slightly. Only then did he remember these ancient rules and did not continue to force them.
"In that case, you can scoop up a bowl of vegetables, grab a steamed bun, squat on the ground, or bring a chair and sit aside to eat!"
"this?"
Hearing this, Pei Li and others' eyes lit up and they subconsciously looked at Lawyer Pei.
However, the body remained motionless.
"Uncle Li, this is outside. You don't have to worry about the rules. You can't let down the little master's kindness. Eat it while it's hot. The dishes made by the little master are already better than the delicacies of the mountains and seas."
On the side, after swallowing the last bite of the steamed bun in his hand, Lawyer Pei also raised his head and said to Pei Li and the others.
"Thank you, Dalang!"
After hearing this, Pei Li and the others could no longer bear it.
They quickly stepped forward, picked up the bowl that Li Xuan gave them, scooped out a bowl of vegetables, took a big steamed bun, squatted on the ground, and ate it hungrily.
