Chapter 1561: The old man was satisfied
Mapo tofu, spicy chicken diced .......
With dried chili peppers in his hand, Li Chengqian instructed the cook to use chili powder to renovate a table of dishes that were not sumptuous, but very distinctive, for the old man who had just returned from Luoyang.
As for the world-famous boiled fish ...... in the future, this is still forgotten, after all, there are not many chili peppers, and some need to be left as seeds, so Xiao Li thinks that it is better to save the boiled fish for the future.
But despite this, a group of old men still ate heartily, and they were all sweating profusely.
When everyone was full of wine and food, and everyone got a cup of tea, Li Shimin came back to his senses from the food just now, nodded and said, "Go back and send your cook to the palace." ”
"Uh......, Father, the chili powder is gone, what's the use of you wanting a cook?" Li Chengqian touched his nose with a little embarrassment and said.
"Huh? Gone? ”
"That's right. The peppers that Kapil brought back from those dishes just now have basically been used up, and even if there are some more, they have to be kept for seeding, and they can't be eaten! Li Chengqian nodded his head quickly.
There is a saying among the people of the Tang Dynasty: starve your father and mother, and don't eat grain!
Although this statement is exaggerated and unfilial, it also emphasizes the importance of seeds.
Although Li Shimin is the emperor, he is not the kind of 'why not eat minced meat' dick, silk, he knows the importance of seeds very well, so after hearing that Li Chengqian wants to use the remaining chili peppers as seeds, he just sighed with some regret.
"His Royal Highness King Qin, about potatoes and corn......" Although Yu Zhining's old man was full, he quickly brought it up again, intending to ask Li Chengqian about those seeds.
"Master Yu, you also know the allusion of the southern orange and the northern orange, this kind of seed has indeed been planted now, but the result will not be known until a few months later." In order not to make trouble for himself, Li Chengqian interrupted the old man vaguely.
"Isn't it too late to plant? Autumn will be in two months, and won't it be ...... then?" an old fellow heard that Li Chengqian was already arranging for people to try planting, and he couldn't help but be a little worried.
"This is not a problem, the fields that are planted are all in the glass greenhouse, and when the weather is cold, the glass is installed, and the temperature can still be maintained, and it is no problem to plant some." Li Chengqian replied without any hesitation, these old men acted as if they were finding faults, but they were also asking questions to reassure His Majesty Li Er.
As long as Li Chengqian answers all these questions, it is estimated that his father will be able to explain it.
……
Sure enough, when all the old men had no doubts, Li Shimin also showed a satisfied smile on his face, patted the arm of the chair and stood up: "Since you have already made arrangements, then you will stay in Chang'an and go back!" ”
"Huh? Where to go back? Li Chengqian was stunned by what the old man said.
"Naturally, I will go back to Luoyang, and I still have a few months of vacation." Li Shimin was in a good mood, and it was rare that he did not preach to Li Chengqian, and left Li Chengqian's Qin Mansion with a fresh meal.
……
On the train to Luoyang, His Majesty Li Er enjoyed the coolness brought by the chilled grape wine, leaned comfortably on the sofa, and listened to a group of subordinates not far away discussing the convenience of the train, and there was an indescribable satisfaction in his heart.
Datang is undoubtedly an era of fighting for a father, and everyone is proud of having a good father, because this can save decades of struggle.
But there are always two sides to things, when the new generation grows up, it will become a son.
After all, the future path of the older generation at this age has been decided, and they all have guesses about what it should look like, and it doesn't matter if they fight or not.
On the contrary, the new generation that has just grown up has become the focus of the eyes of the elders, whose son is smart, whose daughter is beautiful, whose son has made something new eye-opening, and whose daughter is diligent and thrifty to keep the house and become a virtuous helper for her husband are all things that the old men compare.
And it is precisely because of this comparison that Li Shimin feels extremely satisfied.
Nestled in the sofa, enjoying the things tossed out by his son, thinking about starting from Luoyang in the morning, having lunch in Chang'an at noon, and returning to Luoyang in the evening, His Majesty Li Er's vanity was greatly satisfied.
After all, all this was done by his son, although he, who was an old man, said that the stinky boy was not doing his job, but it was just talking, but the pride in his heart could not be concealed.
……
Compared with the old man's comfort, Li Chengqian, who returned to the palace from the station, was busy with his feet not touching the ground.
As soon as he returned home, he called the ghost of Kapil to the study, and put in front of him an edict he had just asked for from the old man: "Do you know how to read?" ”
"Recognize some." Kapil's hands were full of mud, obviously performing his duties, and it was a little inexplicable to be called to the study by Li Chengqian.
"Look at what is written on it." Hearing that Kapil was literate, Li Chengqian pushed the edict of appointment on the table forward.
Kapil, the ghost guy from Tianzhu, didn't know what Li Chengqian was doing, so he took two steps forward in confusion, stretched out his head to look at the golden silk on the table, and shook his head after a while.
"What do you mean?" Li Chengqian was originally waiting for the ghost guy to thank him repeatedly, but he found that this guy actually shook his head, and his face suddenly looked a little ugly.
"Your Highness, that, that word is too complicated, I don't, I don't know." Kapil took two steps back and continued to shake his head.
This is particularly embarrassing, originally Li Chengqian heard that Kapil was literate, so he planned to let him see the appointment letter in person, and planned to see his surprised performance.
But now this guy actually said that he didn't know the words on it, all Xiao Li's expectations suddenly disappeared, and the atmosphere deliberately created suddenly seemed embarrassing.
And in fact, Kapil is really not to blame for this, what he said about literacy is really just literacy, such as Lishu and other strokes written down more and more Chinese characters, he can recognize half of them.
But the edict is not like this, the old man's beautiful flying white body Li Chengqian is a little troublesome at first glance, how can Kapil, a ghost who just speaks the official dialect of the Tang Dynasty, be recognized, not to mention that he still sees it upside down.
Li Chengqian, who felt that his IQ had been seriously insulted, sighed helplessly, and beckoned to Yang Yuxin behind him: "Xiaoyu, read it to him!" ”
"Yes!" Yang Yuxin couldn't help laughing, stepped forward to pick up the edict, first glanced at the content of it, and after roughly understanding it, she slowly read the edict from beginning to end.
Finally, when she finished reading, Kapil still stood in place, his face full of confusion, and he looked like he wanted to say something.
Obviously, the old man's tactful expression made this ghost listen to the clouds, and the duck listened to the thunder and fog!
