"Fu'an, Fuquan, you find a few helpers from A-Niang, and distribute the things you brought over to various places according to the method I taught you before, according to the roster. The excess is left here. Li Chengqian understands his mother's thoughts, this is to give gifts through his own hands, so that everyone else understands that the favor comes from the prince.

This winter, the entire palace benefited from the crown prince, not only wearing new cotton clothes, but also heating, convenient water heaters, comfortable tables and chairs. Emperor Lao Tzu asked the harem to be frugal and prohibit extravagance, although the raw materials used were not high-end, they were all ordinary materials, but at first Li Chengqian still sweated, for fear of self-defeating.

In the harem, the prince's reputation is in full swing, and everyone is grateful from the bottom of their hearts. What's more, the palace maids all wore underwear, which was more in line with etiquette, which was the most satisfying to the eldest grandson. The things that were sent out today, except for glass jewelry, sugar, tea, food, daily necessities, etc., have long been beautifully packaged and made into a big gift package. As long as it is on the roster, every harem concubine has it.

"The head of the imperial dining room will meet you." With a loud message, interrupting everyone's busyness, Zhang Haizhong walked in and bowed.

"Father-in-law, don't be polite, get up and talk." Li Chengqian looked at Zhang Haizhong and said.

"It's coming to the New Year, I have a cookbook here, which is to inspect the restaurants, I feel something, and after I come back, I have summarized it through trial cooking, including eighteen cold dishes, thirty-six hot dishes, six kinds of soups, nine kinds of staple foods, and the heat and method of cooking are explained. I hope you take it back and let those chefs try to make a few dishes first, and it's up to you to feast on the New Year's saints. ”

In fact, there are many more dishes, but unfortunately the remaining dishes that can be remembered are either scarcity of ingredients or no raw materials. Now he really misses potatoes, tomatoes, peanuts, peppers and stuff like that.

"In addition, this book is in your custody, and you can give instructions to the cooks as described in the book, and you are not allowed to pass it on for the time being. After going back for a while, make a few tastings for Auntie and Grandpa. ”

Listening to Li Chengqian's arrangement, Zhang Haizhong agreed, but he couldn't stop muttering in his heart, if this is done well, if this is not done well, His Majesty will not be able to taste it, although he will not lose his head, he will have to lose this job. Who am I going to go to?

As if he saw his thoughts, Li Chengqian said again, "Don't worry, you can go back and try it first." If you really can't do it, don't do it. Besides, I am dining here today. It won't make it too hard for you. ”

It took a lot of talk to get rid of the steward.

I was about to take a breath. But then, the concubines of each court, some with the prince, some with the princess, and some only with the palace maid, came to thank the queen and the prince one by one. Li Chengqian could not do without greeting each other, and was humble to each other in etiquette, and for a while, it seemed extremely harmonious and lively. Fortunately, he was prepared and brought enough things. Otherwise, the food on the table will not be enough for the children. The girls are quite reserved, but several princes glared at each other because of the competition for candy, which caused everyone to laugh constantly.

Where did Li Shimin go? Of course, the father and son met each other, and went to Daxing Palace to see his father Li Yuan. When Chinese New Year's Eve came, the father and son were reunited, harmonious and harmonious, cordial and touching, and even the surrounding palace maids and eunuchs were envious, and couldn't help but think of their parents.

As soon as Li Shimin left for a while, Li Chengqian came over with something, or those sugar tea daily groceries, and congratulations and encouragement between grandparents and grandchildren are indispensable. In fact, Li Chengqian was reluctant to come, and he had no choice but to give up the ceremony. The shadow of the Xuanwu Gate has always hung over this palace.

What's more, among his grandsons, he is not liked by Li Yuan, Li Yuan's favorite is the children who were built, he was just a marginalized little kid who played with a few older brothers. Now the grandfather and grandson are just greeting each other, not to mention anything else, the change of Xuanwumen has made him the grandson of the prince, let Li Yuan abdicate, and stay aside. Seeing each other and competing for each other will only increase the sadness.

The sound of firecrackers bids farewell to the old year, and the cold plum points to celebrate the New Year. Li Chengqian said goodbye to his grandfather and left Daxing Palace. Looking back, the majestic Daxing Palace is full of people. The huge palace looked jubilant, but now it seemed that the situation of the emperor was even more bleak.

The Chinese New Year's Eve reunion dinner was also very lively, looking at Li Shimin's face full of embarrassment, looking at everyone's satisfied expressions, and looking at the plates on the table, Li Chengqian felt very comfortable for the first time.

At dusk, in front of the East Palace, a raging fire burned, and Li Chengqian took a group of princesses and princes to play happily around the fire. Holding the firecrackers brought by the eldest brother, a group of children rushed to throw each other into the fire, and the crackling sound was accompanied by shouting, in the children's hearts, this is much better than the bamboo in previous years.

Staying in the palace since childhood, the children finally have fun things, each more positive than the other, and now in their eyes, this big brother is omnipotent. Following the eldest brother, there is not only good food, but also fun, and he is amiable and especially easy to talk.

Li Chengqian sighed in his heart, you are all playing for money. Black powder looks simple, it costs money to do, just adjusting the ratio of fire nitrate, sulfur and charcoal is very laborious, it is said to be one, two, three, in fact, various proportions have their own different effects, just the experiment has been carried out for nearly a month. Although it meets the requirements, the maximum power is not as great as imagined, after all, I have seen those high-power explosives. However, it still plays a huge role as an initiating agent and a time-delay drug.

Now think about it, how did those boring novels that make high-tech products at every turn come up with these things? There are many things, even if you know the principle, it seems easy, it is easy to say, but it is difficult to do. If you can really have a golden finger like fantasy novels and movies and television, then why do you have to work hard to start a business? Organize a squad directly and bulldoze the whole world. Alas, to put it mildly, high-powered explosives still have to take time and effort to prototype.

At present, many things I want to do need funds, and without funds, many projects cannot be carried out, and money is a big problem. Although woodware, clothing, and department stores have been opened, and money is coming in like flowing water, there are more places to spend money. All kinds of industries need investment and time to expand reproduction and primitive accumulation. The root is still insufficient, and it needs strong backing support.

Now it's time to find an appropriate time to have a good talk with Grandpa, besides, the mouth of eating people is soft, and the hands of taking people are short. I just congratulated you in person, accompanied you to eat the new dishes, looked at your evil face full of oil, and watched you staring at those sugar, wine, tea, and daily necessities, and your eyes were red and obscene, I knew that you had already entered the set. As long as you are willing to work hard and perform well, I don't believe that you will spit something out to me when the time comes. It's up to you to do it then! Thinking of this, I can't help but feel a faint sense of comfort and pride.
