Chapter 227 I am here for something.

The old man is not young, but he is in good spirits.

He is obviously old, but he still has a different aura.

However, at this age, there are no rules. As long as it does not harm the world, it is normal.

Upstairs, when Li Shimin and Li Jing came down, they also saw the old man.

"Old sir, the rules cannot be broken. You did not queue up."

Liu Renyuan on the side has begun to persuade.

The old man touched his beard: "I have to queue up for meals? Why didn't I know?"

"I never queue up when I go out to eat."

When they saw the old man, Li Shimin smiled, and Li Jing also smiled.

Li Shimin walked over quietly, looking at the old man with a face full of dissatisfaction, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Old sir, why don't we go to the back to talk?"

Then, the old man who was throwing a tantrum instantly calmed down, no longer had the previous carefree look, and his face became extremely serious.

Liu Xuan suddenly remembered that he had not only seen this person at the Datang Hotel, but also seemed to have vaguely seen him at the poetry meeting.

At that time, Li Gang was dressed solemnly, and he looked like a great scholar of the dynasty.

Now, he is dressed in simple clothes, and looks like an old man strolling on the street.

Li Gang was still making trouble, but when he saw Li Shimin, he immediately bowed and saluted with a smile, and then he became quiet.

When the group arrived at the backyard, Li Gang let out a long sigh.

"Your Majesty, are you here too?"

Li Shimin winked at Li Gang: "When Liu Xuan is around, just call me Lao Li."

Li Gang was speechless, looking at Li Shimin, with a look of confusion.

Why do you always come up with some fancy things for me? Your Majesty, you are Lao Li, what am I?

"Your Majesty, you are the current emperor, there is no need to hide."

Li Gang smiled and touched his beard.

Li Shimin smiled but said nothing. Li Jing on the side spoke up: "Hey, Mr. Li Gang, this Liu Xuan, also known as the Marquis of Lantian, doesn't know your Majesty's identity yet."

"It's good if you don't say it out loud. If you do, it will make you feel awkward."

Li Gang nodded: "Then where shall we go to eat? I gave those children a day off today, but I came here hungry just for this meal."

Li Shimin smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry, we'll be patient, it will only take an hour or two."

After an hour or two, Li Gang suddenly became a little stiff. I, an old man, must be starved to death.

"Mr. Li Gang, I will definitely not harm you. There is a smart child in Liu Xuan's family. You will definitely like him when you see him."

As soon as Li Gang said this, he stopped talking. He liked smart children, regardless of gender, and he had to accept them as disciples.

After swallowing his saliva, Li Gang and the other two entered the small house.

Outside the house, Chang Sunying kept chopping wood, her movements were so skillful that it made people feel distressed. After wiping the sweat from her head, Chang Sunying looked at Liu Xuan.

"Why hasn't he come in yet? He hasn't had breakfast yet."

Liu Xuan was thinking about what new dishes to use today.

In an instant, Liu Xuan thought of two things.

Fish-flavored pork shreds, vegetarian grilled eggplant.

A combination of meat and vegetables, this is always okay, right?

"Liu Renyuan, fish-flavored pork shreds, 300 coins per serving."

"Vegetarian grilled eggplant, 150 coins per serving."

After Liu Xuan finished speaking, Liu Renyuan wrote it down on paper and then began to carve a small sign.

Today's opening time is a little earlier than usual, and the diners are not in a hurry. They drink water and order dishes one by one.

The most popular dishes at present should be boiled fish and five-spice chicken feet.

Although the five-spice chicken feet have only been out for a few days, the act of gnawing chicken feet is still a rare thing among the people of the Tang Dynasty, especially the chicken feet that look like tiger skin. With just a slight touch, the bones fall out. Just bite it down and the juice flows in the mouth, making the diners who usually eat dry food feel like they have picked up a great bargain.

In the kitchen, Liu Xuan bought pork and then looked for eggplant in the system panel.

"One penny per pound, it's better to buy more."

As a dish to go with rice, fish-flavored pork shreds are a classic dish in later generations.

In the streets and alleys, any stir-fry restaurant, you say your chef can't make fish-flavored pork shreds? That's not a joke?

Although there are some localized things in the methods of fish-flavored pork shreds in various places, the taste is slightly different, but the taste is always similar.

In front of Liu Xuan, the soaked pork shreds are ready. After the pork tenderloin is ready, Liu Xuan directly marinates it with cooking wine and cornstarch.

The fungus was extremely fresh, and it cost one penny per pound. The system was fair and honest. This price, converted into the price of later generations, was only a few yuan per pound, which made Liu Xuan feel like he had made a fortune.

Cut the green pepper into shreds and put it aside. Wash the fungus and put it aside.

Everything was ready.

Outside the door, the firewood in the house was not used up quickly. The pile of firewood was chopped one by one by Chang Sunying.

Liu Xuan looked at today's dishes and quickly selected ingredients in the system panel.

Pork, pork tenderloin, hind leg meat, fish...

After a while, the number disappeared by nearly three hundred coins in the money storage area of ​​the system panel.

In the small room next door, Li Shimin and the other two were chewing the sesame cakes brought from home with small pickles.

"Don't say, this side dish tastes delicious, I like it."

In front of Li Gang, Li Shimin was still quite respectful. After all, he had assisted people in two dynasties and was the prince's teacher. He was a saint in the hearts of scholars all over the world.

Li Shimin put some pickles in the pancake, and took a piece of chili from the small bowl, spread it evenly, picked up a clove of garlic, and began to fill his stomach happily.

"Last time, after leaving this Datang Restaurant, I haven't eaten delicious food again. If it weren't for the busy schoolwork, I would have come here a long time ago."

"What a pity, I haven't come for a month, and it's too fast. Now I have to queue up. I just heard that only the first 100 people can eat."

"Strange, strange."

Li Gang was very happy. The crispy pancake was exactly what he liked.

"Xiao Li." After Li Gang and the other two checked their names, they found it interesting to call Li Jing Xiao Li, "Tell me, what did you come here for today?"

Li Jing smiled calmly and looked at Li Yingzi who was staring at Changsun Ying chopping wood outside the window.

"I came here today for something."

"More importantly, my daughter is a little greedy."

Li Gang narrowed his eyes and suddenly realized: "Let the children decide for themselves."

"We old men should not force it."

"I came here for something."

Li Gang stroked his beard and trembled with joy. Eating is a big deal, and the things at the poetry meeting are also big deals.

Li Gang was very curious about Liu Xuan's talent, and finally found an opportunity to come and find out.

Outside the kitchen, Li Yingzi watched Changsun Ying chopping wood. She wanted to go up to help, but suddenly a fragrance wafted between her nostrils.

For a moment, her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and she couldn't help but look towards the direction of the kitchen.
