Chapter 89: Ice Cream

Cheng and Li Chengqian are of the same age, and before Li Shimin launched the Xuanwumen Rebellion, the two of them often played together again.

After Li Shimin ascended the throne, Li Chengqian was made the crown prince and studied with Leng Feng, so there was no extra time, so the two never met again.

This time was different, Cheng was beaten by his father at the border pass, and then was thrown back.

"I just persuaded my father to pursue the Tibetans, so my father beat me up and told me to go back and learn common sense before going to the battlefield."

Cheng Chusi spat bitterness at Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian drove back the ducks that were about to run out, and only after plugging in the fence gate did he say: "You were just beaten, look at me, you were punished for raising chickens and ducks, and you were tired and half dead every day, and you still smelled." ”

Cheng scratched his head and said suspiciously: "Your master asked you to do this?" He's too bold, isn't he? ”

Li Chengqian glanced at Cheng Chuhei: "As long as you talk a lot, not to mention that the master is the master, just the fact that he drew blood to save me, I will treat him as a father in the future." ”

The best lunch on the farm is white flour steamed buns, Li Chengqian is used to braised pork with cakes, how can he stand this, so someone smuggled "supplies" to him.

"Cuckoo...... Cuckoo ......"

Hearing this voice, Li Chengqian immediately threw the basket aside, and hurriedly ran to the grass next to the chicken coop with Cheng Chuji to answer.

Li Ke squatted in the grass, holding a basket with a white cloth in his hand.

Li Chengqian was already hungry after working all morning, and he went to grab food without washing his hands.

Li Ke slapped away Li Chengqian's outstretched hand, handed over the wet towel and said, "Didn't eat in the morning?" Why didn't I see you so hungry the day before yesterday? ”

Li Chengqian wiped his hands clean twice, pointed at Cheng Chuhei and said, "Isn't this a villain coming to the door!" I don't hurry up to eat something that isn't enough. ”

Li Ke knew that Cheng Chuhei's big intestine and stomach deliberately took two more roast chickens this time.

Cheng Chusi and Li Chengqian each had a roast chicken, and they ate like two hungry wolves.

Li Ke poked Cheng Chuhei and said: "Your father is right to beat you, this time Tubo wanted to take advantage of the opportunity, but he was defeated by your father and returned to the plateau in disgrace, and your father also took the opportunity to recover most of the lost territory."

Why do you think the Tubo people dare to do things that Gaochang, Gaoli, Xue Yantuo and others dare not do? It's because of the thin oxygen on their plateau, our people are dizzy after going up, and they can't move their knives, how can they kill the enemy? ”

Cheng Chusi chewed the roast chicken in his mouth and asked vaguely: "What is the thinning of foreign gas?" ”

"It's not foreign gas, it's oxygen. My Master said that the reason why we are gasping for breath is to give our bodies oxygen. Without oxygen, people can't live. If we say that we have ten points of oxygen in Chang'an, it will be seven or eight points, or even five or six points when we reach the plateau. ”

Cheng grabbed another cake, and then asked, "Why are the Tubo people okay?" ”

"I'm used to it!" Li Chengqian said: "My master said that human beings are particularly adaptable. Tubo was born and grew up on the plateau, and naturally adapted to the environment with little oxygen. ”

The chicken legs in Cheng's hands fell to the ground: "Your master knows so much!" It's so much better than my dad, he can't even tell why, he knows how to beat me! ”

Li Ke patted Cheng Chuhei's shoulder and said with a smile: "You can mess with our brothers in the future!" When your father comes back, you can say that you should also worship my master as a teacher! ”

Cheng Chuji licked his lips: "Really? ”

"Really!"

……

Summer always comes quietly, a few days ago it was "blowing the cold willow wind", and now it is "wet people sweating, steaming forest cicadas".

Leng Feng is very unaccustomed to the dressing habits of the Tang Dynasty, he used to watch film and television dramas in the Tang Dynasty, and the palace ladies and concubines all wore cool and cool (everyone understands), but this was not the case in the early Tang Dynasty. A woman's exposed skin can only be her hands, neck and face, and if her forearms are exposed, she will be accused of not abiding by women's morals. (Of course, the common people don't care about this)

Men shouldn't have exposed their arms and legs at will, in this weather where he should change into half-sleeved shorts, Leng Feng could only stay at home and wear (zhuo/) to walk coolly, anyway, only Liu Shuwen saw it, if he continued to wear a robe, it would be a crime.

Although she has "embarrassed" to reduce her clothes, the heat is still pressing, and even Liu Shuwen often sweats. Leng Feng, who couldn't stand it, had no choice but to use his power for personal gain, and took advantage of the fact that Lei Si was refining nitrate to get a lot of ice.

Ice powder, cream, and a little frosting, and a coarse ice cream is good.

Liu Shuwen likes to eat ice cream made by Leng Feng very much, and at noon, she hugged Leng Feng's arm and "spoke" with a pair of shining eyes.

The fiancΓ©e has a life, how dare the fiancΓ© disobey!

Leng Feng temporarily put on his coat and rode to the Thunder Division for personal gain.

Considering that Li Shimin, who is more bitter now, Leng Feng made more ice cream when he made it, and sent some to the emperor.

It is said that Li Shimin is also in the scorching heat at this time, as the emperor, he is dressed carefully, not casually, otherwise there will be officials who accuse the king of being undignified.

The emperor did not have ice, and in the past, the Ministry of Internal Affairs had an ice division that stored ice in the winter and gave it to the king when it was hot. But in order to save manpower and material resources, Li Shimin can only lay off employees and ensure that the emperor is useful.

Sweat dripped, soaking the ink and spreading, Li Shimin could only close the fold, find a paperweight to press a few pieces of paper, and instructed the palace maid who gently shook the palm fan behind him: "Shake harder!" ”

The two palace maids could only incite the "palm fan" that was taller than people.

At this time, a eunuch entered the palace and announced: "Your Majesty, the public of the state of Xi has a gift to be delivered, and ten people need to carry it in, do you want to replace the person who carries the gift?" ”

Li Shimin said irritably: "No need to change people, let them in." ”

The gifts were given by the Thunderbolt's subordinates, and ten people walked in step by step carrying a box wrapped in a heavy fur.

As soon as Lao Li was about to kowtow, Li Shimin said: "No courtesy, what is Leng Feng sending?" So heavy? ”

Lao Li said with a smile: "It's a common thing in winter, but it's hard to see in summer." ”

After speaking, Lao Li opened the box, revealing the ice cubes inside.

Li Shimin, who was unbearable in the heat, almost couldn't help jumping down and pounced on the box, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up!" I'm hot right now! ”

Only then did ten people lift the box up the stairs and place it behind Li Shimin.

The two unlucky palace maids were still shaking their fans vigorously, and the bursts of cool air made Li Shimin feel comfortable.

"Shake it down, it's too cold."

It was only then that the two palace maids breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Shimin turned around and found that there was a covered porcelain bowl in the box, so he asked Lao Li: "What is in the porcelain bowl?" ”

Lao Li said: "The bowl is the food made by my master, and the hot weather is the most suitable for going to the summer." ”

It was the hands of the Thunder Division who carried the box, and Li Shimin didn't let the eunuch try it, so he got up and went over to get it himself.

When he opened the porcelain bowl, Li Shimin smelled the milky fragrance, and the milky white ice cream in the porcelain bowl looked very good. There is also a wooden stick on the side of the bowl, which looks like it is used to dig and eat.

Li Shimin took a bite of food, and suddenly felt full of fragrance.

After eating half a bowl in a row, Li Shimin reluctantly put down the wooden stick, beckoned the personal eunuch and said, "Send it to the queen, follow neatly, don't make it." ”
