Chapter Forty-Eight: One Man, Two Sides
After scolding Li Shimin for a few sentences, Wang Xuan didn't care about the goods, and concentrated on handling the ingredients there.
However, because of the previous incident, Wang Xuan was not in the mood to make any big dishes, so he simply fried a small fried mutton and small fried beef, made a spicy fried chicken with the chicken he had marinated before, cooked a cabbage soup with chicken broth, and fried two seasonal vegetables with garlic.
And in order to let the maids who came with Li Xin also eat, Wang Xuan also fried two more portions of the same dish.
After the dishes were cooked, Wang Xuan asked people to bring all the dishes to the lobby, and he himself went to ask Li Shimin to eat them.
However, as soon as Wang Xuan walked out, he found that the rice he had stewed before was still there, which was originally intended to be given to those soldiers outside, but because of the previous incident, he directly forgot about it.
"Dad, quick, this meal is too much, we can't finish it, and I don't know if those soldiers outside are full, let's hurry up and send them some" Liu Ji, who had just gone to deliver food home, came back, and Wang Xuan hurriedly greeted his cheap old man.
"Don't get it, if you can't finish it, eat it tomorrow! I just went out and I didn't have enough to see them, so I already asked Brother Dacheng to get them some more white noodles" Liu Ji heard Wang Xuan's words, and hurriedly asked him not to do it, saying that he had already arranged it.
Hearing this, Wang Xuan answered and asked the maid on the side to bring out some of the food and send it to the lobby, while he hurriedly went to call Li Shimin and them.
In fact, just call a maid for this matter, but Wang Xuan was still a little unaccustomed to it, so he went by himself.
It's just that as soon as he came to the wing, Wang Xuan was dumbfounded, there was no one here, and just when Wang Xuan was wondering, Wang De ran over.
"Master Pony, why are you still here, Your Highness, they can't help but eat, hurry up!" Wang De came to Wang Xuan and saluted first, and then told Wang Xuan.
"What, this is it, when did they go" Wang Xuan asked speechlessly when he heard this.
"Return, Master Horse, it was the county lord who said that you usually eat in the lobby of the front yard, so the old slave notified His Highness when he heard a maid say that the dish was about to be ready" Wang De saw Wang Xuan ask himself, and he quickly told Wang Xuan what happened.
"Well, let's go!" As soon as Wang Xuan heard this, he said something to Wang De, and then walked towards the lobby.
But when he came to the lobby, Wang Xuan was dumbfounded again, and all the dishes he fried before were served on the table, and what was even more strange was that this group of people also played a separate meal, and one person saw a plate of dishes, the funniest thing is that because Wang Xuan didn't have many tables at home, in order to make a table, they also made a few temporary ones with wooden boards.
"I said Li Er, are you mistaken, I fried these dishes for everyone to eat together, you guys are like this, and you still eat ghosts! Especially you, who put all the dishes in front of you, have you finished eating? is saying that those are the ones I specially fried for Wang De" Seeing the situation in the lobby, Wang Xuan directly scolded Li Shimin, who was sitting in the first place.
This made Li Shimin, who originally wanted to greet Wang Xuan because of Wang Xuan's arrival, and his face turned black directly.
But before Li Shimin could go back, Wang Xuan beckoned Li Xin and them to put the dishes in front of them together, and then asked Wang De to ask him to bring the dishes on Li Shimin's table and let them eat them by themselves.
Regarding Wang Xuan's words, Wang De looked at Li Shimin with some uncertainty.
"Don't look at him, this is my home, he is the prince, how about it, if you want to eat at my house, you have to listen to me, let you serve it, don't wait here, we eat as a family, you don't need to serve, something will call you, go down to eat!" Seeing this, Wang Xuan directly said a few words to Wang De.
"Wang De, you just do what the horse says" Just when Wang De was about to look at Li Shimin, Li Shimin spoke directly.
"The old slave understands, thank Your Highness for the gift, thank you for the gift of the horse master" was approved by Li Shimin, and Wang De excitedly knelt down to Li Shimin and Wang Xuan to thank him.
Then he hurriedly called the maids who were guarding outside to come in and serve the food, and when all the maids learned about it, they all ran to the front of the lobby and knelt down to thank them after they had finished serving the food.
In this regard, Li Shimin waved his hand and asked them to go down to eat!
"Uncle, what are you still doing there, hurry up and come over to eat, it's too late today, and there is no decent table at home, when I find someone to make a better set, we don't have to sit on the small bench to eat, and I'm making you a table of delicious food at that time" Wang Xuan didn't scold Li Shimin this time, but greeted Li Shimin very politely.
"Why did you change sex, don't call me Li Lao Er" The first time I heard Wang Xuan talk to himself so politely, Li Shimin was still a little unaccustomed to asking Wang Xuan.
"Brother, isn't that just for outsiders to see? I don't want outsiders to think that I dare to be so rude even when I am the crown prince, and you, the prince, still want to let me, so that they don't dare to underestimate me! Now there's no one here, and in that case, doesn't it seem like I'm untutored? Wang Xuan said to Li Shimin with a smile.
As soon as Wang Xuan's words came out, everyone present stared at him one by one, and Li Shimin was even more amused by Wang Xuan's shameless words.
"Okay, you Wang Xuan! You can do it! Do you know that I have grown so big, except for the time when I was on the march and fighting by those enemy generals, you scolded the most today" Li Shimin pointed at Wang Xuan and scolded with a smile.
"Brother, I know it's wrong, you have a lot of adults, so don't worry about me! Eat the vegetables first, taste my craftsmanship, otherwise it won't taste good when it's cold, you have to blame me, then I'll make you tea in person, won't it be okay? When Li Shimin said this, Wang Xuan was even more embarrassed, and quickly changed the topic and asked him to eat quickly.
Sure enough, when Li Shimin heard this, he really didn't say anything, but beckoned everyone to eat.
People who have tasted Wang Xuan's stir-fried dishes and other mainstream dishes have different tastes before, and when they hear this, no one is really welcome, and eating them one by one is called a fragrant!
During the period, Wang Xuan also introduced the technique of stir-frying and the seasoning of chili pepper to the curious people one by one.
This made them praise Wang Xuan from time to time while eating.
Even Li Shimin said on the spot that he wanted to send a few imperial chefs to learn to cook with Wang Xuan after returning to the palace, hoping that Wang Xuan would not refuse.
Wang Xuan is so likely to refuse, of course, he is full of promises.
Later, Li Shimin said that he would send the best craftsmen to help Wang Xuan build the Quyuan plow, and he would also send troops to guard Wang Xuan's house day and night.
Of course, these Wang Xuan still agreed and expressed his gratitude.
It's just that Li Shimin still didn't drink this tea in the end, but asked Wang Xuan to fry a few more side dishes and cook a bowl of chicken soup and cabbage for him, and left directly with the reluctant Li Xin.
