"Wow~" With a tempting sound, the oil pot immediately exploded with flowers, and the balls inside kept tumbling with the boiling oil, Yuechan and Xiaochun next to them were busy sweating, but the two girls of Fan'er and Liu'er stood aside and drooled, and when the first batch of small meatballs was just fried, Yuechan immediately filled a few for the two of them, and sent them out not to stand in the kitchen to get in the way.

The fragrance of fried things is very strong, floating directly from the front yard to the backyard, Li Xiu in the study is giving Qi Niang and Xiao Ya a lesson, and the Yi Niang next to her is also taking notes seriously, but when this fragrance comes, Qi Niang and Xiao Ya immediately began to twitch their little noses non-stop, and they no longer have the heart to listen to the class, and even the Yi Niang, who has always been serious, can't help but ask curiously: "Yuechan, what are they doing, why are they so fragrant?" ”

Seeing that the three students were all hooked by the smell of fried things, Li Xiu couldn't help but sigh, now he misses Li Chengdao and Li Chengqian, the two serious students, but unfortunately since Li Shimin was poisoned last time, the battle between ****** and the Qin Wang Party has become increasingly hot, and even Li Shimin can be plotted, let alone two children, so for safety reasons, they have never come to Li Xiu again.

"It's almost the New Year, Yuechan is frying something to prepare for the New Year, I see that you don't have the heart to go to class, let's start the annual vacation today, I'll take you to taste the freshly fried food!" Li Xiu also put down the textbook he compiled at this time, and said that it would be the Spring Festival in a few days, although the Tang people did not attach as much importance to the Spring Festival as the Shangyuan Festival, but Li Xiu's family was in his hands, and with his drive, the Spring Festival became the most lively festival in his family.

"Great, there's something good to eat!" Qi Niang and Xiao Ya cheered almost at the same time when they heard this, and then threw down the pen and paper and ran to the kitchen in the front yard.

However, Yi Niang asked a little puzzled at this time: "What is fried things, is it also like stir-frying, is it a new cooking method?" ”

It's no wonder that Yi Niang doesn't know what "fried" is, after all, the oil in this era is too expensive, and after Li Xiu's stir-fry method spread, only some nobles or rich people can afford to use it, as for the more oil-intensive cooking method of frying things, even if it is Li Xiu's house, it is only used during the New Year, not that it cannot be used, firstly, the fried things will be tired if you eat too much, and secondly, the fried food is not very healthy, so it is enough to eat a fresh one during the New Year.

"Yes, frying is indeed a cooking method, simply put, it is to heat the oil, and then put the food in the oil and cook it at high temperatures, this process is called frying, and you will know it when you see it with your own eyes." Li Xiu explained to Yi Niang with a smile, although he had no relationship with Yi Niang before, but the two got along well after marriage, Yi Niang admired Li Xiu's talent and learning, and Li Xiu liked her studious and persistent, which made the relationship between the two have changed.

It's almost the New Year, and it's really time to relax, so Li Xiu took Yiniang to the kitchen in the front yard, only to see Qi Niang and Xiaoya grabbing small meatballs with Fan Er and Liu Er, Yuechan and others are busy in the kitchen, meatballs are just appetizers, and there are more things to fry later, such as fish, chicken, pork, etc., these things also need to be dealt with before they are fried, Xiaochun and her group are doing these things, and even the fat sisters and they have also helped.

Li Xiu originally wanted Yi Niang to take some fried things to eat with Qi Niang and them, but he didn't expect Yi Niang to roll up her sleeves and go into the kitchen to help, which also Li Xiu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then showed a little smile, and then went into the kitchen and took a plate and put some meatballs out to eat while walking, he wanted to help, but he knew that Yuechan and they would definitely kick him out, so he didn't make a mess for them.

"Sir, what are you doing at home, why is it so fragrant?" But at this moment, I suddenly heard a familiar voice sounding outside the door, and then I saw Li Chengdao running in with an excited face, and he also bowed very respectfully when he saw him.

"Hey, why are you here today?" Li Xiu was also very surprised when he saw Li Chengdao, with the chaotic situation in Chang'an City, he thought that Li Chengdao would not come again in the future.

"Alas, during this time, my father forbade me to go out, and I couldn't come to my husband's place, but fortunately, it was almost the New Year now, so I begged my father to give him a New Year's gift, and finally my father agreed to let me come out." Li Chengdao said with a bitter face at this time, he was locked up at home every day during this time, and he was about to suffocate him.

"Haha, your father is also good for you, but it's really time for you to come, the house is frying something, how about you taste the taste of this meatball?" Li Xiu said and stuffed the plate in his hand into Li Chengdao's hand, he didn't see him for more than a month, and he missed Chengdao and Chengqian, but today it seems that only Chengdao came alone, not the two of them came together as usual, it seems that the fight between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin's brothers finally affected the children below.

Seeing Li Chengdao coming, Qi Niang and Xiaoya also cheered and came up, chattering non-stop, but when they asked why Chengqian didn't come with him, the look on Li Chengdao's face darkened obviously, which also made Li Xiu next to him sigh.

After the three children finished talking, Li Chengdao came to Li Xiu's side again, hesitated for a moment and then spoke: "Sir, some time ago, the second uncle was secretly poisoned, and the people in Chang'an City said that it was poisoned by my father, and when I went to find Chengqian today, he also refused to come with me. ”

When it came to the end, Li Chengdao's eyes couldn't help but overflow with tears, for a ten-year-old child, his father was originally the person he respected the most, but now his father was said to be the murderer of his own brother, which was almost unimaginable for Li Chengdao's blow.

Li Xiu couldn't help but sigh when he heard Li Chengdao's words, and immediately squatted down and looked at Li Chengdao, and said in a somewhat heavy tone: "Chengdao, you are still young, and the matter between adults is not something you should care about, but I can tell you clearly that your second uncle's poisoning has nothing to do with your father, so don't be too involved in the rumors in the accident world!" ”

"Really, does the second uncle's poisoning really have nothing to do with my father?" Li Chengdao also raised his head when he heard this, and said excitedly, with two lines of tears hanging on his little face.

"Of course, when your second uncle was poisoned, I once accompanied your aunt to visit him, and I couldn't be clearer about this matter!" Li Xiu once again affirmed that although he knew what was going on, he couldn't explain it to Li Chengdao, after all, he was too young to get in touch with the dark side of the adult world too early.

Out of trust in Li Xiu, Li Chengdao was happy when he heard his assurance, and just at this time the people he brought were unloading gifts from the car, these were the New Year's gifts he prepared for Li Xiu, and there were also gifts for Qi Niang and Xiaoya, some of which he personally selected, and some of which were purchased for him by the people in the palace, which was also very rich.

But at this time, I saw Li Chengdao suddenly drag out a long burden from these gifts, and then came to Li Xiu with a mysterious face and said: "Sir, do you remember that you gave me and Qi Niang a question in the summer, and then we didn't come up with an answer?" ”

"Oh? I've given you so many questions, which one is it? Li Xiu also asked with some curiosity when he heard this, he often gave Li Chengdao some enlightening questions, some of which they could answer after thinking and practicing, and some of them had never been able to find the answer, and they would only be answered when Li Xiu spoke in the future.

"It was when I first came to Mr. to study, and then he taught us to make ice with saltpeter, and also explained some of the functions of saltpeter, but you said at the time that saltpeter has a more important role, but you don't tell us what it is, but let us find the answer ourselves." Li Chengdao said excitedly at this time.

"Saltpeter?" Li Xiu also remembered when he heard Li Chengdao's reminder, at that time he wanted to say that saltpeter can make gunpowder, but he just thought of the unpredictable consequences that gunpowder might bring after it appeared, so he didn't say it, but left it as a subject to Li Chengdao, this matter even he forgot about himself, but he didn't expect Li Chengdao to remember.

"I see, so you can figure out the role of saltpeter?" Li Xiu was also curious about the question when he thought of this, last time in order to deal with Chai Shao, he had to make some explosives, but all the explosives were made by him, and even when Ma Ye helped transport them, he didn't see the true face of the explosives, so Li Chengdao shouldn't be able to make them, right?

"Hehe, in addition to making medicines, dyeing clothes and making ice, saltpeter also has an important role, that is, to make firecrackers!" Li Chengdao smiled smugly at the end, and then opened the burden dragged out, revealing the firecrackers inside, which was one of the gifts he gave to Qi Niang and Xiaoya.

"Huh? This...... This is a firecracker? Li Xiu couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the so-called firecrackers, in his impression, firecrackers are actually another name for firecrackers, so when he heard that Li Chengdao brought firecrackers, he thought he would see a string of red firecrackers used during the New Year, but he didn't expect to see bamboo stacked one by one, no wonder this burden is so long, but Li Chengdao's firecrackers don't seem to have anything to do with firecrackers, right?

"This is the firecracker, it is very loud in the fire during the New Year, but when the bamboo is put in the fire, the sound is not loud, so later someone stuffed saltpeter into the bamboo, and these firecrackers in front of him are placed in the fire and the sound is connected." When he said this, he saw Li Chengdao ask excitedly again: "Sir, is this what you said about the important role of saltpeter?" ”

"This ......" Li Xiu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then suddenly smiled, touched Li Chengdao's little head and said gently, "This is indeed one of the uses of saltpeter, and it is already very close to the most important role of saltpeter, but there is still a little gap." ”

"Huh? What is the most important role of saltpeter? Li Chengdao couldn't help but be a little disappointed when he heard this, he thought he had guessed the important role of saltpeter, but he didn't expect to guess wrong. (To be continued.) )
