"Big brother, you're too much, why is there only Xiao Yi'er, what about ours?" The sharp-eyed Li Yue, and the little girl Li Liqing, who had been staring at him, ran over immediately dissatisfied when they saw that their eldest brother had given Xiao Yi'er a piece.

"Gao Ming, this is a courgette! I didn't expect you to get it! The last time I ate it, your uncle gave one to his mother ten years ago" Before Li Chengqian could speak, his mother also came.

Hearing his mother's words, he was not calm for a moment, the watermelon that existed more than ten years ago, this group of people finished eating, why didn't anyone think about planting some, this group of people is so sorry.

"Mother, you eat a piece first, wait for me to cut the rest, we are eating, a few of you take it away, otherwise I won't give it to you" Li Chengqian scolded a few pairs of small hands that stretched out and handed a piece to his wife.

"Brother, it's just stingy, don't give us food, can Xiao Yi'er let my sister eat a bite" Facing Li Chengqian's scolding, Li Yue and the others could only withdraw their hands stupidly and wait honestly, only the little girl complained about Li Chengqian, and paid attention to Xiao Yi'er, who hadn't finished eating.

"Okay, sister, you eat, this watermelon is delicious" Hearing her sister's words, the kind-hearted Xiao Yi'er didn't even think about handing the side she hadn't bitten to Li Liqing.

"Oh, it's better for Xiao Yi'er, I don't want anyone, I don't give it to my sister" But the little girl didn't eat the watermelon in Xiao Yi'er's hand in the end, but soured her brother.

"As far as you have a lot to do, take it, two pieces per person, and there is no more" As he spoke, Li Chengqian handed the two pieces of watermelon cut and put on the plate to the little girl.

"Thank you, brother" Holding the watermelon on the plate, the little girl said thank you to Li Chengqian sweetly, and took Xiao Yi'er's as well, and pulled Xiao Yi'er to find a place to eat watermelon.

Several others also said thank you to Li Chengqian, took the watermelon and ran away.

"Xia Ju's leftover watermelon, you take it to make juice, add some ice water, and bring it up at dinner" After speaking, Li Chengqian handed over the remaining half of the watermelon to Xia Ju, leaving only two pieces for his father, and then took the cut cantaloupe and after one person gave a few pieces, he took his own and sat next to his wife and ate it.

"This watermelon is indeed a good thing, cool and thirst-quenching, it's really good to have one this summer, but it's not my Central Plains thing, I don't know when I will eat it next time" After eating the last piece of watermelon, Changsun Wujian suddenly said with emotion.

"Mother, it's not easy to eat, when you want to eat a few after the Mid-Autumn Festival, you always want to eat a few and eat a few, and you can't eat it, it doesn't exist" Hearing his wife's emotion, Li Chengqian came to a sentence, this is not that he has no target, not to mention that there is Hu Mo, a Hu businessman, even if there is not, the watermelons planted in his manor can be eaten after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"What, you still have this?" The eldest grandson, who didn't react, subconsciously asked.

"Yes, there is none, but Hu Shang, who gave me watermelon, was brought back by me, I asked him to go to his hometown to bring back some special products such as watermelon, cantaloupe, etc., this counts the distance, there is a month or two, how can I come back, so old lady, you want to eat, wait a month or two, how can you eat" Li Chengqian took a bite of watermelon, and said to his wife with a juicy face.

"You kid, you can eat a watermelon and your face is full of juice, but when you say this, my mother is looking forward to it" Seeing his son's face full of juice, the eldest grandson Wujian said to him with a smile, and then took out a handkerchief and wiped him.

Let his wife wipe his mouth, wipe it clean and grin at his wife, and then continue to nibble on his watermelon.

"Mother, you sit down first, my son will go and give you a good meal, this Hu Shang Ke not only brought watermelon, cantaloupe and raisins, but also some spices, that is a good thing" Li Chengqian, who finished eating watermelon, said to his mother, grabbed the raisins and put them in his arms, and took Xia Ju and them out and walked to the kitchen.

"Your Highness, why did you come here in person" Liu Hai saw Li Chengqian, and couldn't help but rush to be curious, he hadn't been to the kitchen for a long time.

"Why, this king can't come over" Regarding Liu Hai's question, Li Chengqian did not answer, but asked him a question.

"Don't dare, don't dare, little ......" This frightened Bang Hai and quickly knelt on the ground, not listening.

"Okay, I know you don't dare, go and get some woad for this king, and bring a carp over, of course, it would be better if there was pomfret" said Li Chengqian asked Liu Hai to prepare the ingredients he wanted for himself.

"Yes, the little one will go" Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Liu Hai knew that the prince didn't blame him, and he was going to make a new dish, so he hurriedly got up to find the ingredients.

"Xia Ju went to take out the barbecue grill that the king had ordered someone to build before, and lit a fire, and the king would use it after a while" After letting Xia Ju go to get the barbecue grill, Li Chengqian himself was also busy.

Mr. asked the chef to cut various ingredients such as beef and mutton into small pieces, marinate them with salt, Sichuan pepper, rice wine, soy sauce, and fried pepper, and put them in a bunch, all kinds of fresh vegetables are also skewered, as well as larger river shrimp and river crab are also the main dishes of this barbecue.

Li Chengqian himself prepared barbecue sauce and minced garlic for steaming cabbage and fish.

The barbecue material is actually easy to tune, it is nothing more than adding various spices and monosodium glutamate and salt to the chili pepper, but now there is no monosodium glutamate, Li Chengqian simply does not make dry barbecue material, but puts all kinds of spices, such as star anise powder, grass fruit powder, bay leaf powder, clove powder, chili noodles, braised spicy seeds, stir together in a certain proportion and add salt, pour hot oil directly on it, and after cooling, add a certain amount of broth.

The same is true for the minced garlic of steamed fish, put the chopped garlic in the oil pan and fry it until golden brown, then put the fried minced garlic and some unfried minced garlic in a bowl, add salt, and spices, pour in hot oil, add broth, and the minced garlic for steaming vegetables is ready.

And steamed fish soy sauce, there are many things, Li Chengqian had no choice but to make a simple version, first use the whole fish, add celery, green onion and ginger, passion fruit, bay leaves, shrimp skin, honey to boil the soup base, wait for the soup base to boil, add soy sauce, salt to taste.

"Hey, this taste is okay, but there are fewer ingredients, a little inauthentic, it seems that this can be improved in the future, and the oil is also, this soybean has been around since ancient times, why no one uses it to squeeze oil! No, I have to ask Zhang Gao to find a few oil refiners and try to use soybeans to extract oil, otherwise if you eat animal oil every day, the three highs will come to the door sooner or later" After tasting a bite of boiled shrimp pump, Li Chengqian thought secretly in his heart.
