Li Shimin

Chapter 12 Incense!
"Uncle Li, I won't bother you with the meals made by the little master later!"

Lawyer Pei immediately changed his words.

"Da Lang~"

Pei Li and the others looked at Lawyer Pei in astonishment. They never thought that Da Lang, who has always been gentle and refined, would regret it so quickly!
"That's the food that the little master personally cooks for me. Naturally, I can't live up to the kindness of the little master!"

Lawyer Pei blushed, but soon became righteous again.

"Yes, let Dalang decide."

Although there was a lot of reluctance in their hearts, Pei Li and the others could only nod in response to the master's words.

However, as the smell of rice wafting from the kitchen became more and more intense, Lawyer Pei, Pei Li and the others suddenly realized that they couldn't control their hands and feet, stood up subconsciously, and walked out slowly following the smell.

……

"Ok?"

Li Xuan, who was concentrating on cooking in the kitchen, suddenly felt something strange outside the house.

Glancing out, I was suddenly taken aback.

Outside the kitchen window, five heads were exposed in unison, and ten pairs of eyes the size of copper bells were staring straight at him.Their faces were full of greed, and even a few of them twitched the corners of their mouths from time to time. If they were not careful, there was a faint line of crystal clear water dripping down from the corners of their mouths.

"So hungry?"

Li Xuan said subconsciously.

"Forgive me, little master, I have never smelled such a strong aroma of food, but I subconsciously walked over looking for the scent, I will leave now!"

Lawyer Pei hastily apologized.

Afterwards, he greeted Pei Li and the others, and walked into the house.

In his mind, being able to make such delicious meals must be Li Xuan's unique secret technique.

These behaviors of them lying on the window and peeking can be regarded as the behavior of stealing teachers.

"Where are you going?"

Unexpectedly, just as he turned around, he heard Li Xuan's shout.

"what?"

Lawyer Pei was startled, turned around quickly, and looked at Li Xuan suspiciously.

"The meals are almost ready. Since you just came over, I'll call you if you don't have to. Wash your hands first, and then come in and bring the prepared meals to the dining room!" Li Xuandao.

Hearing this, lawyer Pei immediately beamed with joy.

"Yes Yes!"

Immediately, he hurriedly walked to the well outside the courtyard. There happened to be a basin of clear water. After washing his hands, he hurriedly walked into the kitchen.

In the eyes, it is a pot of steaming hot meals.

Seeing this, the screams in the stomachs of several people were even louder.

In order to be full, Li Xuan cooked four dishes this time, as well as a pot of rice soup and a pot of steamed buns.

Among them, stewed pork ribs with radish, braised carp, scrambled eggs with leeks, and cold cabbage!

Although some seasonings were lacking, Li Xuan searched in the mountains for several months and found substitutes for many seasonings. Therefore, these dishes were also full of color and flavor, and lawyer Pei, who was immediately greedy, salivated.

Each of the five people carried a pot, and under Li Xuan's command, they came to the dining room next door.

"Where is this, Master?"

This time, Lawyer Pei seemed to have discovered a novelty again. The room was full of guys and things, which he had never seen before.

"This is a special place for eating. It's called the dining room. This is the dining table and this is the chairs. After we eat, we can sit on the chairs and eat!"

Li Xuan explained.

In the Tang Dynasty, when people ate, they still had a meal-sharing system, with one table per person.

There is a small table for each person, and I still kneel on the straw mat, eating.

And this is the first time they have seen this way of several people sitting on a big round table and sharing a pot of food.

It was even the first time they had seen these big dining tables and chairs.

Therefore, when they heard that they were going to sit on these big tables for dinner, Pei Li and the others hurriedly looked up and down and tried a few times. After confirming that sitting on the chair would not collapse, several people let Lawyer Pei sit down.

As for them, they stood on both sides in a daze, staring greedily at the food on the dining table, drooling.

Although Lawyer Pei usually respects them, the elders in the family, they still dare not sit at the same table with the host for dinner.

Taking advantage of this time, Li Xuan also took out a bunch of bowls and chopsticks from the side cupboard.

Each person was given a pottery bowl and a pair of chopsticks.

"Whatever you want to eat, scoop it into a bowl by yourself!"

After speaking, Li Xuan started to move his hands.First, a bowl of spare ribs was filled, and then some chives and eggs were added. Then, with one hand holding a steamed bun that was bigger than the bowl, and the other holding chopsticks, he stuffed it into his mouth.

Really fragrant!

When he came to this world, Li Xuan realized that he had become a rice cook.

No matter what kind of food he cooks, he can eat it. He is never picky about food. The more fragrant the food, the sweeter it is.

Moreover, with his thin body, he had to eat at least three steamed buns for a meal.

Like this meal in the evening, at least four big steamed buns are needed to fill the stomach.

After eating, you have to have a big bowl of rice soup to be comfortable.

Lawyer Pei at the side also followed Li Xuan's example and scooped up a bowl of pork rib soup with a spoon, and then added a few mouthfuls of scrambled eggs with chives.Take one bite, and the mouth will be full of fragrance. These meals are a hundred times more fragrant than the best restaurants in Chang'an City, and the dishes are full of fragrance.

Moreover, the steamed buns of my little master are so soft and sweet!
His eyes widened involuntarily, and he couldn't hold it any longer, and with a chopstick down, no matter if it was pork ribs or steamed buns, he stuffed them into his mouth.All of a sudden, there was a rattling sound in his mouth, and Li Xuan felt that some fragile bones had already been crushed and chewed into his stomach by the county magistrate Pei.

Soon, a steamed bun will be eaten.

"what?"

When preparing for the next steamed bun, Li Xuan was taken aback.

Looking at Pei Li and the others standing behind Lawyer Pei, he wondered, "Why don't you four eat?"

"Back to Master, I'll eat later!" Pei Li hurriedly clasped his hands back.

However, when replying, he still swallowed his saliva in disappointment, and his stomach actively matched the sound effects.

"The dishes and the whole head will be cold in a while, it's not good, so sit down and eat!" Li Xuandao.

"Thank you, little master, for your kindness. It's just that I and other lowly people dare to eat at the same table with the master. Please forgive me for not obeying my orders!"

Pei Li cupped his hands again.

"Ok!"

After listening, Li Xuan nodded lightly, and then he remembered these ancient rules, and did not continue to force them.

"Since this is the case, then you can scoop up a bowl of vegetables, take a steamed bun, squat on the ground, or sit aside with a chair to eat!"

"This?"

Hearing this, the eyes of Pei Li and the others lit up, and they subconsciously looked at Lawyer Pei.

However, the body is still motionless.

"Uncle Li, since the little master has worked so hard, you don't have to worry about those rules. Don't disappoint the little master's kindness after playing. Eat it while it's hot. The dishes cooked by the little master are already better than any delicacies from 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 couldn't bear it anymore.

Hastily stepped forward, picked up the bowl that Li Xuan distributed to them, scooped up a bowl of vegetables, and took a big steamed bun, squatted on the ground, and started to eat voraciously.
