Chapter 16 Heaven and earth are big, and eating is the biggest!
"Master Li, please wash your hands first!"
But he didn't expect that just as he was about to sit down, he was stopped by Li Xuan on the side.
Turning around, he saw Li Xuan pointing to the iron basin on one side of the corner with a serious look on his face.
"handwashing?"
Li Shimin was startled. This was the first time, except Guanyin, that anyone dared to interfere with him in such a trivial matter!
A strange emotion couldn't help but arise in my heart.
However, he still walked over consciously, washed his hands, and then followed Li Xuan's example and sat on that strange stool!
Twist it left and look right, it's quite comfortable to sit on.
At this moment, Li Xuan had already taken out two new pairs of bowls and chopsticks and gave them to Li Shimin and Li Wei, placing one pair in front of each of them.
"Sir, I'm rude first!"
Li Wei followed Li Shimin closely. After washing his hands, he apologized to Li Shimin and then took the lead in grabbing a steamed bun. He poured some vegetables from each plate, put them into his own bowl, and tasted them directly.
stand up.
Seeing this, Li Shimin's eyes widened, but he still didn't say much.
I plan to wait until Li Wei finishes testing the poison before eating.
However, Li Shimin held up a pair of chopsticks and watched Li Wei take a bite of the steamed bun, and then tasted each one. After taking a final sip of rice soup, he didn't even stop, but the speed of his mouth was getting faster and faster.
Looking at its appearance, Li Shimin couldn't help but think of the scene when Cheng Zhijie and those reckless men were eating meat when he was in the army.
However, although the food in front of you smells very sweet, it is not like that, right?
Thinking about it, Li Shimin couldn't help but hesitate.
"Mr. Li, eat it quickly. If you don't eat it, it will get cold and it won't taste good!"
On the side, Li Xuan, who had guessed the identity of His Majesty Li Shimin, also saw that Li Wei was the first to test the poison.
Therefore, he ignored it and started eating directly.
However, I never expected that Li Wei, who was the first to test the poison, immediately forgot about his mission after taking a bite and started eating like crazy.
This made Li Xuan stunned for a while.
"Um?"
Li Xuan's voice brought Li Wei, who was eating like crazy, back to his senses.
When he raised his head, he directly saw his majesty and young master looking at him quietly.
His mouth was full, and the vegetables on the chopsticks in his hands fell back into the bowl.
He stared blankly at His Majesty for a while, then he suppressed his blushing face, swallowed the food in his mouth, and said with a smile: "Master, the food and steamed buns made by this young master are so delicious, I'm still
first……"
As he said this, he noticed something and stood up quickly.
However, I still couldn’t bear to put down the steamed bun in my hand.
"..."
In front of Li Xuan, Li Shimin couldn't reprimand Li Wei, so he could only give him a blank look, then picked up a steamed bun and ate it.
"Um?"
After one sip, Li Shimin's eyes couldn't help but light up.
This steamed bun is actually softer and sweeter than the steamed buns steamed by the Palace Food Bureau.
Even the food tastes amazing.
The three flavors of sour, spicy and salty are just right, and there is an unprecedented aroma of oil in the stir-fry!
Thinking in his mind, Li Shimin's eating speed immediately increased.
Soon, the big steamed bun in his hand disappeared.
But the good times didn't last long. Just when Li Shimin decided to eat his second steamed bun, Li Wei walked in from outside with a strange look on his face.
"master?"
"What's the matter?"
Li Shimin, who was disturbed, sounded displeased.
"The Duke of Wei is here and has already arrived outside the door!" Li Wei leaned close to Li Shimin's ear and reported in a low voice.
"Huh? Why is he here? Come on, come with me to greet him!"
Hearing this, Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. Then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Li Xuan in front of him, his expression changed slightly, and he quickly stood up.
"Little Master, an old friend of Li Shimin is here for some unknown reason. I will go and greet him first!"
After saying that, he walked out.
Li Xuan nodded slightly, still looking calm, sitting on the chair, eating by himself: "Master Li, go back quickly, the food will not taste good when it is cold!"
The sky is huge and the food is the biggest!
Moreover, I am just a young village master who knows nothing, so I can only continue to pretend to know nothing.
Li Xuan's behavior was in line with Li Shimin's wishes.
Therefore, Li Shimin walked out of the dining room with peace of mind and came to the door. Sure enough, he saw Lawyer Pei supporting Pei Ji and standing outside the door.
When they saw Li Shimin coming out, Pei Ji and Lawyer Pei's expressions changed drastically, and their expressions were full of surprise, but they still saluted quickly: "Old minister..."
"cough!"
Seeing this, Li Shimin quickly stepped forward and stopped Pei Ji and his son.
"Silence!"
"Don't reveal my identity. My current name is Li Er, a distinguished military officer in Chang'an City!"
Under the puzzled looks of Pei Ji and Lawyer Pei, Li Shimin quickly explained.
"yes!"
Pei Ji and Lawyer Pei answered with their hands raised.
"I wonder why Mr. Pei suddenly came to this small mountain village?" Li Shimin asked.
"Back to Mr. Li, I'm here to look for talents!" Pei Ji replied.
"Don't call me Master, just Erlang!"
Li Shimin stared at Pei Ji and said.
This shocked Pei Ji.
"Er...Erlang?"
"That's how it should be!"
After hearing this, Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction and walked in.
"It seems that Mr. Pei is here to find my young master Li Xuan, so come in quickly!"
After saying that, Li Shimin ignored Pei Ji and Lawyer Pei and walked in quickly.
Don’t let those meals get cold after being out for so long!
Behind him, the Pei family's father and son looked at each other, and it seemed that something was wrong with His Majesty today.
However, Pei Ji didn't dare to delay, and quickly followed him.
"ah?"
However, what Pei Ji didn't expect was that as soon as he followed His Majesty into the house, he saw an unexpected person, sitting on a strange stool, eating!
Just stay!
"King Zhao?"
Pei Ji couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Magistrate Pei? Why are you here again?"
Hearing the exclamation, Li Wei looked up and saw a figure he least expected to see.
Yesterday, Lawyer Pei, the magistrate of Lantian County, ate his steamed buns in one go!
"I've met the young master!"
Lawyer Pei gently cupped his hands and saluted Li Xuan.
Then, he hurriedly looked at his father Pei Ji aside, his face full of confusion.
Who is King Zhao, and why does it sound familiar?
As for Li Xuan, he looked at the old man next to Lawyer Pei with some surprise. He was sure that the person calling King Zhao in the old man's mouth should be him.
Because, before he (Li Xuanba) died early, he was named King Zhao of Xifu.
So it seems that this old man is at least a founding father of the Tang Dynasty, otherwise he would not know himself!
"Who is this noble man?"
However, Li Xuan still pretended not to know anything.
"Little Master, this is me, Aye. I will shoot at Zuo Pu, Duke of Wei! Yesterday, after Aye listened to my report about the young master's talent, Aye was filled with admiration. Today, as soon as the morning court was over, he couldn't wait to go forward.
Come and find your mistress!"
Lawyer Pei quickly introduced.
Thank you so much!
Li Xuan thanked fiercely in his heart.
However, his face was still full of gratitude, and he quickly stood up and saluted Pei Ji: "Young man Li Xuan has met Mr. Pei!"
