Aunt Liang is Li Bao's nursing mother, after the princes are born, it is impossible for their mothers to breastfeed, because it is troublesome for them to feed their children, and the other is not conducive to competing with other concubines for favor, so it is necessary for nursing mothers.

Li Bao was cared for and fed by Aunt Liang from birth to the age of eight. The relationship between the two is better than that of the king Jieyu - Li Bao's biological mother. When the princes grow up, the nurses will slowly withdraw from the lives of the princes, and the nurses of the royal children are all selected by the good sons of Chang'an, and they must have an innocent family background and a strong body to be selected. As soon as Li Bao heard Ling'er's report, he immediately put down his pen and went to the outer hall to greet the nurse Aunt Liang.

When she came to the outer hall, Aunt Liang was already seated in the outer hall. Liang's husband's surname is Zhao, and her family lives in Changle Fang in the east of the city, and her name is Hongmei. She has a fair complexion, her eyebrows are attached to Huadian, her eyebrows are the popular distant mountain eyebrows, her head is combed into a fallen horse bun, and a tight hairpin is placed on her hair bun, with a round face common to women in the Tang Dynasty, Liang Hongmei is wearing a big red skirt, looking rich and dignified.

After all, she is Li Bao's nursing mother, and the palace people in the Jinluan Palace respect her more, and her temperament is also kinder, so everyone calls her Aunt Liang. Seeing Li Bao coming in, he hurriedly greeted: "Liulang Wanfu, I haven't seen you for many days, but Brother Bao'er's demeanor is still the same." ”

"Aunt Wan'an, I haven't been in the palace for a long time, and I'm also very worried." Aunt Liang looked at Li Bao, the child she had raised for eight years. Today's Li Baoqian is gentle and polite, which is very different from other princes in the palace.

Li Bao's bones always reveal a faint melancholy and panic, which is always incomprehensible. Maybe that's why I can always unconsciously stimulate my mother's desire to protect when facing him. However, she also knows that in today's palace, it is not easy for the prince and nobles to grow up safely.

Although Rokuro is close to himself, he will not completely communicate with himself, after all, he is a prince, and there is still a big gap between him and his own nurse. I just want to watch him well, grow up safely, grow up in peace, grow up in peace, and be content without calamity.

Liang Hongmei dispelled the thoughts in her heart, smiled, and said to Li Bao, "Liulang explained to me last time, the iron pot built has been ready, do you see that this iron pot is still satisfied?" ”

Aunt Liang pointed to a swarthy iron pot on the table next to her, Li Bao hurriedly walked over, took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, it felt very heavy, the wall of the pot was a little thick, and there were three short iron feet at the bottom of the pot to support. Li Bao considered that there was no iron pot in this era, and there was also the level of craftsmanship, so he did not ask the blacksmith to build a cauldron, and first made a small and medium-sized iron pot.

Since the ironmaking industry was not very developed in ancient times, the output was not high. Iron is mainly used in important items such as weapons and agricultural tools, and there is no widespread use of civilian materials such as pots and stoves. Moreover, stir-fry did not appear in the Tang Dynasty, and people mainly used pots and utensils such as casseroles and copper tripods, and cooking food was mainly on steaming and grilling.

After Li Bao came to this time and space, he was used to the diet of the later generations and always felt that something was missing without stir-frying, and Liang Hongmei's family was outside the palace, so Li Bao drew drawings and asked her to find a blacksmith outside to build an iron pot. The blacksmith's craftsmanship is not bad, and the walls of the pot have been thinned as much as possible, although a little unsatisfactory, but it is also good.

Li Bao took the iron pot, and ran to the kitchen outside the palace to ask the palace people in the kitchen to hurry up and make a fire, he wanted to test the heat transfer of this pot. I tried it, and it only took ten minutes to boil a pot of water on high fire, and the thermal conductivity was not bad.

Ling'er and Hu Sanbao both followed Li Bao's side, and they really didn't understand that Li Bao was so excited about a black iron basin, and they were a little puzzled. Ling'er finally couldn't help it and asked, "Liulang, what is this black iron basin for, why is it still boiling water?" Li Bao turned his head, pinched her smooth cheek with his hand, and said with a smile: "This is an iron pot, with it, I can cook more delicious dishes, aren't you happy?" ”

Li Bao is only ten years old now, and he is not as tall as Ling'er, so he touched her face and still tiptoed. As soon as Li Bao touched her face, Ling'er's face instantly turned red to her ears, and she only felt that what was wrong with Liulang, how could she touch her daughter's face so casually in front of everyone's eyes? I was confused, and I didn't hear what Li Bao said later.

However, Liang Hongmei and Hu Sanbao next to them were a little surprised when they saw Li Bao like this. The other palace people pretended not to see anything, but the corners of their mouths were full of smiles. As soon as Li Bao saw Ling'er's expression, he knew that he had forgotten his form. Although his mental age is very large, he pinched Ling's little Lori doting.

But the reality is that Li Bao is still a ten-year-old child, and pinching a girl's face like this is really a bit of a thing. However, Li Bao still can't explain this kind of thing, the more he explains, the more he can't explain it, and then look at the corners of his mouth around him, Li Bao said in his heart, why are you people so evil, can you still play happily.

Li Bao instructed the palace people in the kitchen to fetch a piece of fat pork to come over and refine the pot. Li Bao issued an order, and everyone let go of the little episode just now, after all, Ling'er is still here, and she can't pay too much attention to it, otherwise the little lady will be even more embarrassed.

After a while, the pork came, and Li Bao instructed the cook to refine the iron pot with fatty pork, and then carefully wash it with vinegar several times. Then he instructed the cook to wash the vegetables, then cut the mutton, and prepare the condiments. Half an hour later (an hour), then Li Bao put on an apron and cooked in person and began to show his skills.

Liang Hongmei and the others were not surprised, they were all watching from the side, watching the Tang prince as a cook to prepare meals for their slaves and maids, and they were all very proud, and they were also the only treatment in this Tang Dynasty.

Li Bao was busy for most of the hour, and the first table of iron pot stir-fry in the Tang Dynasty was served. Since the Tang Dynasty was still a little particular about ingredients, such as pork, the upper class did not eat it. In addition, in order to protect the cultivated cattle, beef is basically forbidden to eat. The main meat of the upper class is mutton, poultry such as chickens and ducks are not counted as meat, and carp is also forbidden because of the need to avoid Li Tang.

But there are also a lot of ingredients from the Western Regions, such as eggplant, which the Tang people call purple melon. Cucumber is called courgette, Chinese cabbage is called woad, spinach is called Persian cuisine, etc. The seasonings are basically the same as those of later generations, but at that time, many seasonings were still used as medicinal materials, such as cinnamon and star anise.

However, chili peppers have not yet been introduced to the Tang Dynasty, so they can only be replaced by dogwood, and the spicy taste is okay, after all, Li Bao is not from Sichuan, and he is not spicy. Li Bao made four dishes and one soup based on the existing ingredients: braised mutton, hot and sour cabbage, kung pao chicken, fish-flavored eggplant and a spinach egg soup.

These dishes were relatively home-cooked dishes in later generations, but Aunt Liang and the other three had never eaten them, so the four masters and servants feasted in the dining hall and ate happily. As for the other palace people, Zheng Ah Li has their own cook to take care of, after all, the noble prince has already demonstrated, and Zheng Ah Li can still follow the same example. The four masters and servants were full of food and drink, and their own palace people cleaned up the mess, and Li Bao and Aunt Liang went to the inner hall to talk.

The four masters and servants drank tea and chatted in the inner hall, and the tea drinking at this time was still quite special, most of the tea leaves were ground into minced pieces, and some heavier onions, ginger, salt, mint and other condiments were added, which was a veritable tea soup.

After Li Bao was able to be independent, he changed this tea-drinking custom. Instead, use the methods of the afterlife. The master and servant drank it and slowly got used to the sweet aroma tasted in the bitterness.

The conversation between the master and the servant was mainly small talk, mainly Aunt Liang was talking about interesting anecdotes between the outside of the palace, Li Bao listened to Aunt Liang's narration, and was a little depressed. It's been ten years since I came to this plane, and the legendary Yellow Nest Rebellion has not yet happened. Chang'an City, the greatest city of the era, has not been personally traveled, trapped in this Daming Palace all day long, when is it a head?

"Rokuro, what's wrong, are you sleepy? If so, take a nap. Seeing that Li Bao was absent-minded, Aunt Liang immediately asked with concern.

"It's nothing, I heard the eldest lady tell what I saw in Chang'an City, I wanted to go out of the palace to see Chang'an City a long time ago, but the situation in this palace is ...... I feel a little nostalgic in my heart. ”

Hearing Li Bao talk about the situation in the palace, Aunt Liang couldn't help but be silent, and after a while, Aunt Liang said: "Lang Jun also knows that in this palace, except for the eunuchs of the official family and the inner chamberlain, few people can enter and leave the palace at will, Lang Jun should be comfortable." Besides, Lang Jun has not yet been crowned king, and he can still be freer. Once crowned king, he will move into the mansion of the sixteen kings. The slaves in the sixteen kings' mansions listened to the rumors in the palace, and the princes were even more involuntary in the sixteen kings' mansions. ”

Li Bao also knew what kind of place the Sixteen Princes' Mansion was from the historical materials of later generations, which was simply the high-level prison cells of the princes and nobles, and there were only two ways to get out of the mansion that the princes entered, one was that the emperor died and was supported by the eunuchs as the new emperor, and the other was only a dead end.

The princes and nobles had to live under the supervision of the eunuchs every day, and they were not free, and even the birth and marriage were in the royal mansion. Even the daughters of some princes, who are the county lords and husbands, cannot choose their own sons-in-law, and are called by the eunuchs and given to the eunuchs as wives, so that they are lonely and desolate to old age.

Li Bao couldn't help but feel gloomy when he thought of the luxurious prison cell of the Sixteen Princes' Mansion and the gloomy future. The atmosphere in the hall was a little gloomy for a while, and Li Bao thought in his heart that the end of the Tang Dynasty had not yet begun this night, and he had the aura of a traverser, and he had to do something to change his fate. Otherwise, what's the point of being in the dark and allowing yourself to travel through?

Thinking of this, Li Bao perked up and said to Aunt Liang: "Okay, don't be discouraged, after all, I'm here." By the way, who has the most power in this house? Ling'er raised her head and looked at the faint smile on Li Bao's face. whispered: "The most powerful in the palace is naturally the official family." ”

When Li Bao heard this, he slapped him on the leg, "Yes, why didn't I think of it, as long as I win the favor of adults, won't my predicament be solved naturally." As he spoke, he walked up to Ling'er, took her hand and said, "Ling'er is still the smartest!" ”
