"Yes," the necks of several guards shrank suddenly.
"Dacai, do a good job, take a good look at him to the palace, and report the situation of Li Gongzi to the palace at any time." Princess Changle said.
"Yes, princess," Zhou Dacai replied.
After speaking, Princess Changle turned around and left with her head held high.
"No, hey, you, me, what are you doing?" Leaving Li Chen at a loss for what to do.
"Big money."
"Brother, I'm also injured, and the imperial doctor said you can't drink." After speaking, Zhou Dacai lay on the bed motionless.

"I said, Li Dutong, what are these things, they look so weird." Yang Yi asked.
"This is called bamboo shoots, for this little thing I ran all over Chang'an City, and I asked someone to spend a lot of money to get it in Jiangnan Road.
Be careful, this is a precious thing. Li Chen said.
"No, what's the use of this thing!" Yang Yi asked.
"I don't know, come to the kitchen at noon in the evening to open your eyes." Li Chen said with a smile.
In the past few months, Li Chen has traveled all over Chang'an City, making bamboo shoots and honey for Changle, if nothing else, Princess Changle in history died of illness in the seventeenth year of Zhenguan.
Seeing that the time was getting closer and closer, Li Chen couldn't let history repeat itself, so he ran all over Chang'an City to find food to nourish his lungs.

"Li Chen, what are these things?" When Changle came to the courtyard, he saw the guards delivering these pointy things to the kitchen.
"Look, princess, you must add vegetables to the princess at noon." Li Chen said.
"Hurry up, the pears in the back will follow, and they will all get me the kitchen."
Inside the kitchen
"Lao Xu, give me the kitchen today." Li Chen shouted as soon as he entered the kitchen yard.
"Li Dutong? How did he come. Cook Lao Xu asked.
"I heard that in the morning, I got a lot of things called bamboo shoots, and they all came to our kitchen." A primary school apprentice replied.
"Bamboo shoots?"
After a while, Li Chen arrived at the door.
"Lao Xu, you clean up and vacate the kitchen, I requisitioned it at noon today." Li Chen said.
"Oh, Li Dutong, why are you here again."
"Don't talk nonsense, you give me a hand today, I'm going to deal with something for the princess."
"No, the gentleman is far away."
"Fuck off."
Lao Xu struggled for a long time and finally gave up.
"Then what to do with this thing, the pointed ones are still piercing the hands, how can you eat them if they are so rough." Lao Xu asked.
"Look." Li Chen said.
"It's all over here." Lao Xu called all the people around him to the surroundings.
"Pick one up, use a knife to cut it from shallow to deep from the side, and twist it like that." Li Chen gave a demonstration.
"Oh, oh" and the others are about to get started.
"Hey, hey, why are you there, this thing is very expensive, this is for the princess, the princess can eat so much." Li Chen was just about to stop them, but Lao Xu grabbed it and stopped him.
"Li Dutong then, and then, ah, look, there is a vertical knife cut in the middle, the position of the tip of the bamboo shoot should be cut along the silk, and the other parts should be cut by the top wire." Li Chen demonstrated.
"Oh, and then."
"Then, go get a pot of cold water." Li Chen said.
"Cool water."
"Cook in a pot under cold water, boil on low heat for a quarter of an hour, and take out the cold water." Li Chen said.
"Don't go yet," Lao Xu said to his subordinates.
"You guys prepare." Lao Xu commanded.
Li Chen looked at Lao Xu appreciatively, there was a future.
"Lao Xu, give you something."
"What."
Li Chen took out a packet of white powdery crystals.
"What is this?"
"Taste it."
"Can you eat it?"
"Taste it."
Lao Xu tasted a little with his hand.
"Sweet, sugar?" Lao Xu was surprised.
"Where did you get this, I also worked in the palace, and the sugar in the palace is not so white." After being surprised, Lao Xu asked.
"This, this is my own, I'll give you a pack in a while, you follow my practice for the princess to use, don't steal it." Li Chen said
"Don't worry."
After a while, the fragments were copied and the materials were ready.
"To the oil, stir-fry the ginger, stir-fry until fragrant, and put the bamboo shoots in the pot 。。。。。"
After a while, the bamboo shoots came out of the pot.
"Not bad." Old Xu Dao.
"Taste it."
Lao Xu sandwiched a slice: "It's delicious." ”
"Remember, follow this practice and make it for the princess once every three to five days." After finishing speaking, Li Chen left with the plate.
"Got you."
Turned his face: "If you don't serve the food yet, the princess won't eat." ”
A group of people are busy and start serving.
Li Chen came to the princess's door with bamboo shoots and knocked on the door.
"Enter"
Li Chen went in in response.
"It's time for Her Royal Highness to eat." Li Chen said.
"Oh? That's what you call a surprise? Changle looked at the plate of bamboo shoots in Li Chen's hand, and his eyes lit up.
"Taste?"
"Okay."
"Well, it's delicious." Changle was surprised.
"Let's go to the front hall, the dishes are ready."
"Don't, Lu'er." Changle said to the maid.
"Princess"
"Let them bring all the food."
"Okay."
Lu'er went out in response.
Looking at Princess Changle, Li Chen said in his heart: How can a very good girl have a family genetic disease.
"Li Chen."
"Yes, what's wrong princess." A sound of Li Chen called him back to reality.
"What do you think, so distracted."
"Nothing, princess."
"Mingda, I've been pestering me these days and asking you to teach her to write." Changle said.
"Princess Jinyang, flying white book in one hand, what she writes is comparable to Your Majesty, I'm just offering ugliness." Li Chen conjured up a big gourd in his hand as if he was doing a trick, and took a sip.
"You drink again, and you are not allowed to drink before your injuries are healed." Princess Changle snatched it and touched it and said, "I still drink cold wine, Zhou Dacai, this palace will punish him." ”
"Your Royal Highness Princess, this is not an ordinary wine, don't you believe you taste it?" Li Chen said.
"Can there still be palace wine?" After that, Princess Changle took a sip directly.
"Ahem, what a strong wine."
Seeing that Princess Changle took a bite into her stomach, her face was slightly red, and Li Chen said in his heart: It is really worthy of being a descendant of the Li family, and this little bit of Hu bloodline is really not a joke.
"Where did you get your wine?" Princess Changle asked.
"I made it myself." Li Chen replied that in the past few months of contact with Princess Changle, Princess Changle did not let him call himself a minister, and Li Chen had no choice.
"You also make wine?" Princess Changle was a little bit more wet.
"Do you have any more wine?"
"Yes."
"Then take some afternoons and go into the palace with the main palace."
Hearing this, Li Chen's face darkened, and he really couldn't forget his father.
