Chapter Twenty-Six: Smell the Chicken and Run
I really couldn't eat the millet seeds, so Li Chengqian asked the cook to make noodles for him every day. Drizzling a little of the soup from the boiled meat over the noodles is nondescript, but it's much better than clear noodles.
Not daring to let the old gentleman do it, Li Chengqian personally served a bowl of noodles to the old gentleman, sprinkled a little soup on it, and sandwiched pork into it.
Taking the bowl handed by Li Chengqian, the old gentleman first sniffed it, and then put a little into his mouth.
Whether it is pork knuckle or hoof, it has been stewed all afternoon, and it is extremely crispy, although it is not to the extent that it melts in the mouth, but the toothless old gentleman can eat it without much effort.
After eating a bite of noodles and tasting the hoof meat and elbow meat, the old gentleman breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The old man has not eaten the banquet in the palace, but compared with it, he can't get on the table." Cheng Qian, what kind of meat is this? The old man doesn't taste like beef and mutton. ”
Li Chengqian also made himself a bowl of noodles, and when the old gentleman asked, he could only put down his chopsticks and say, "This is pork meat, which comes from pork elbows and hooves." ”
"Huh?"
Li Gang glanced at the casserole suspiciously, pork meat?
Although he was puzzled, the old gentleman did not stop chopsticks, and after eating up the meat that Li Chengqian gave him in the bowl, he also sandwiched several pieces himself.
Eating without saying a word, this is an ancient adage, Li Chengqian and Li Gang, who have already eaten, can only eat their own food.
The old gentleman was old, and Li Chengqian was young, so they put down the bowl without eating much.
In the expectant gaze of the eldest grandson Baoqing, Li Chengqian sighed and said, "Take it down, remember to give a little to the people in the East Palace, don't monopolize it!" ”
After getting permission, the eldest grandson Baoqing immediately went out with a casserole with a smile, and he couldn't even care about the heat.
After wiping his mouth, the old gentleman smiled and said: "If the old man goes back and tells others that the old man was entertained by pork meat on the first day of the world, it is estimated that it will scare a lot of people!" ”
Li Chengqian was suddenly embarrassed, just thinking about patting his ass, he actually forgot that pork is cheap meat.
After respectfully giving the salute, Li Chengqian smiled bitterly and said, "Boy Meng Lang, I actually let Master Li eat pork meat, and asked Master Li to punish him." ”
Li Gang waved his hand: "It's okay, it's just pork meat, just like cattle and sheep, it's all meat, it's just slandered." It's just that the old man didn't expect that pork meat could be made so delicious, which was an eye-opener. To be honest, summer is the most difficult time for the old man, and he often eats without fragrance and sleeps at night. Today, it's been a long time coming. ”
Seeing that the old gentleman was not mad, Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief. Although he is already in ancient times, his thinking is still the way of thinking of modern people, so it is easy to get into the pit. But fortunately, he has the shield of "seven years old", and after living for a few more years, he is estimated to be adaptable.
"Actually, in this pork, the kid has several unique spices, if you like it, the kid will give you some."
When Li Gang heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "You sycophant, haha, you kid, you are afraid that the old man will sue your father." ”
Li Chengqian, who was exposed, could only smile back.
Li Gang also smiled, but didn't say anything.
The sky is already dark, and if you don't leave, Chang'an will have a complete curfew.
Seeing the old gentleman get up, Li Chengqian stepped forward to help him and helped the old gentleman to the ox cart.
Before leaving, Li Gang smiled slightly and said to Li Chengqian: "It's not a matter for the old man to rush like this every day, tomorrow, the old man will live directly in your East Palace?" ”
Li Chengqian dared to refute it, so he could only agree.
Watching the ox cart leave in the slight night, Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief.
There is no way, if it is Du Zhenglun and Yu Zhining and the like, he can still play tricks to leave a bad impression in their eyes, but in front of Li Gang, he has no tricks at all. If you are disgusted by the old gentleman, the whole person will stink.
Moreover, I don't know if it's an illusion, Li Chengqian always feels that the old guy has a hint of playfulness when facing him.
Seem....
See through his deliberate disguise?
Probably not.
With worry, Li Chengqian went back to the bedroom.
The mattress washed during the day has been dried, and although the mosquito net is a little worn, there are not many mosquitoes this season, so I don't have to worry.
Without the problem of not being able to sleep when he moved his nest, Li Chengqian slept until the end of the morning.
In the morning, it was still the eldest grandson Baoqing who aroused him.
Since the Han Dynasty Zu Ti and his friend Liu Kuntan created the allusion of "smelling the chicken and dancing", it seems that those who don't get up early and work hard are all salted fish. Even, it feels a little late to get up at the hour.
Li Chengqian, who was in a daze, completely sobered up after washing his face with cold water.
Well, when you get up, let's exercise.
Looking at Yu Tai with a wicked smile on his face, Li Chengqian knew that his good days were gone.
Handing a set of short clothes to the eldest grandson Baoqing, Yu Tai smiled evilly: "Change the clothes of the prince, from today onwards, the last general will be the martial arts teacher of the prince." Although you can't teach the prince to be a master who is unique in ten thousand, it is still possible to polish your muscles and bones and lay a good foundation for the son. ”
After changing his clothes, Li Chengqian asked Yu Tai with a wry smile: "You came to the East Palace, is it your father's arrangement?" ”
Yu Tai smiled: "Back to the world, the last general is now the crown prince Shaobao." ”
Just one sentence, Li Chengqian understood.
The crown prince Shaobao is different from the prince Taibao, the Taibao is generally an honorary position, a position from the first grade. And the crown prince Shaobao, in addition to the person who teaches the prince, will also be awarded to the prince's personal guards and the like.
From an ordinary general in the Qin Palace, he became a prince from the second rank, and Yu Tai's career can be said to be a smooth step.
If you can't dodge, you can only bite the bullet, look around, and don't see any swords and weapons, Li Chengqian wondered: "Yu Tai, where are the weapons?" You shouldn't just let this king use a horizontal knife? ”
Although the horizontal knife is light, weighing only three catties, it can't be played at all for seven-year-old Li Chengqian.
Yu Tai shook his head, pointed to the palace wall of the East Palace and said, "Shizi, you are not suitable for using a knife, today you only need to run five laps around the palace wall." ”
"Huh?"
Li Chengqian glanced at the palace wall of the East Palace, he heard it right, Yu Tai said that he ran five laps around the palace wall of the East Palace, around!
In other words, he has to run all the corners of the East Palace.
For such a long distance, it is estimated that he will have to lose half his life after running.
It seemed that seeing Li Chengqian's hesitation, Yu Tai picked up a stone lock from the ground, and it looked like he was dead.
After picking up the stone lock, Yu Taicai said: "Of course, the last general will also run with the prince, and besides, the last general is still carrying this stone lock, how about it?" ”
What else?
This seemingly stupid guy has taken the lead, can he still refuse?
Sighing, without Yu Tai's urging, Li Chengqian ran along the palace wall.
