My Backyard is the Tang Dynasty

   Everyone looked around, and it was Li Yuan standing at the door of the hall.

   "Father!" Seeing Li Yuan arrived, Li Shimin got up and greeted him, and the others also got up and stood respectfully.

Li Yuan's face softened slightly, showing a slight smile. After such a long time, he also deliberately forgot all the unhappy things before, and aside from others, Li Shimin is still very filial, but back then he was too partial to Li Jiancheng and hurt him. Don't worry, after all, for Li Shimin, half of the Tang Dynasty was brought down by him, and Li Jiancheng is just a person who enjoys the benefits, and it is because he is worried that Li Shimin's credit is too great and Li Yuanji is plotting to kill him, so he is forced to fight. This is the path of the Xuanwu Gate Change.

"Erlang!" Li Yuan said two words softly. Now that Li Shimin has put aside the previous estrangement, he is still very pleased in his heart. After all, blood is thicker than water between father and son, and now there is no conflict of interest. Under the pure father-son relationship.

Li Shimin was silent, only a father can understand a father, he helped Li Yuan to the main seat, let Li Yuan sit in his original position, and he and Empress Changsun sat on the left side of Li Yuan, just this, it shows The gap between Li Shimin and Li Yuan has melted like ice and snow.

  Seeing this scene, Li Yin's eyes were full of smiles. This is a family. He stood up and said, "Grandfather, father, can the family banquet begin?"

   Li Shimin looked at Li Yuan and said, "Father, announce it!"

Li Yuan's eyes were a little warm, he nodded, now he is seventy years old, the only thing he hopes for is to enjoy a few more years of family happiness, and now his wish has come true, he said: "Okay, okay , the family feast begins!"

   "The family banquet begins!" Hearing this, Li Yin said to Rong Da who was standing by the door.

  Rong Da ordered, clapped his hands, and the maids and servants who had already prepared started carrying various dishes into the hall. Unlike the buffet of years ago, the style of the family banquet this time is still the same as in Chang'an. After all, they are not used to it when they first come here, and this meal is just a simple meal, so the dishes are all placed in front of the individual. .

  After a year of development, the catering industry in Yizhou has made great progress, especially the kitchen of the Shu Palace. These cooks are learning the recipes brought back by Li Yin from modern times, such as Sichuan cuisine and Cantonese cuisine. Shanghai cuisine is very proficient, and there is no shortage of materials in the Wangfu. Now the kitchen of the Wangfu has been rectified by Li Yin and it is basically the same as the kitchen of a modern restaurant. It is definitely a professional kitchen and a professional chef team.

  Watching the exquisite dishes arrive on the table, the concubines, princes, and princesses all showed novel expressions. Although they were pampered since childhood. There are splendid food, but most of these dishes have never been seen by them, and when these dishes are served, the unique fragrance almost makes their mouth water.

   "Father, mother and mother! These are all dishes carefully prepared by the palace, you should try them!" Li Yin said after all the meals were served.

  At this time, Li Shimin had more than a dozen dishes in front of him, with different meat and vegetables. However, the shape of each dish is very delicate, which makes people feel very comfortable. Li Shimin pointed to one of them the size of a fist. The thing with white oil on it asked Li Yin, "Liulang, what kind of dish is this?"

Because the princes and princesses who will come to Chang'an are very young, Li Yin naturally sat under Li Shimin, and he took a look and said: "Father, this is the latest dessert in the palace, called cream cake, very sweet, you Just taste it and you'll know."

"Cream cake, the name is really strange." Li Shimin smiled and dug some into his mouth with a spoon on the plate, "Well, it's delicious, you should try it too, Queen." The cream of this cake is fragrant but not greasy , with a fragrance at the entrance, the pupils of Li Shimin's eyes dilated instantly.

Seeing Li Shimin like this, Empress Changsun was also very interested. Like Li Shimin, she dug a mouthful of cream from the cake and put it into her mouth. Liulang, why didn't I eat this kind of food when I was in Yizhou last time, now that your father is here, you are willing to take it out."

  Li Yuan also took a sip and said: "The Queen is right, I ate the bread below, and I didn't taste it because of the cream."

The two of them pointed their spearheads at Li Yin, and Li Yin hurriedly called Qu and said, "Grandfather, Queen Mother, you really misunderstood, this cream was really made not long ago, and it was made of milk just squeezed from the dairy farm." .”

   "Milk!" Li Shimin asked suspiciously. Goat's milk is popular among nobles in the north, but milk is rarely eaten. He couldn't help being a little confused, "It's just that milk can make such delicious things."

  Li Yin said: "Of course it can't, white sugar, flour, eggs and other things are added to this cream."

   "I see, why don't you use goat's milk?" Li Shimin still misses goat's milk.

Li Yin showed a wry smile. The reason why many people in Tang Dynasty use goat milk is because sheep are easy to raise, and cows are very precious, so he said: "Father, this milk is actually much better than goat milk. It’s just that people in Datang are used to goat milk, and this milk is also squeezed from a cow that specializes in milk production, so it tastes better. In the future, we will produce milk powder in Yizhou, so that we can use milk to feed our children. .”

   "Aren't all cows used to plow the land? There are also those specially used to produce milk?" Li Shimin continued to ask.

   "That's right, Father, in a few days, I will take Father to our farm, and Father will understand then." Li Yin said.

Empress Changsun was smiling. When he was in Yizhou, he was like Li Shimin, asking questions all day long, and finally scared Li Yin so much that he made a detour when he saw her, so he said: "Your Majesty, we still have dinner." Well, anyway, we're going to stay here for a while, and we have some time to walk around and have a look."

  Li Shimin remembered, and said: "Yes, yes, I almost forgot."

   "At that time, I can also accompany Erlang around Yizhou. Now I know Yizhou very well." Li Yuan also said.

Interrupted by these two people, Li Shimin finally stopped asking questions, and Li Yin also sweated secretly, thinking about taking Li Ran with him these few days, and letting him accompany Li Shimin around together, so as not to be taken as a question machine.

After eating a few more mouthfuls of cream cake, Li Shimin focused on other dishes and tasted them one by one. questions like what to do.

As the family banquet proceeded, the atmosphere in the hall became more and more harmonious. The princes, princesses and concubines were chatting and laughing, and Li Shimin and Li Yuan, father and son, also chatted happily, letting go of past suspicions. As they spoke, the two of them whispered, their gazes flicked over Su Mo'er who was sitting at the end from time to time, and after a while, they called Cui Yingying over, asked a few words and seemed to understand a little bit, and then Concubine Yang showed an angry expression He waved to Li Yin.

  Li Yin had been chatting with Li Shimin and Li Yuan just now, and didn't care about the situation here. Seeing that Concubine Yang was a little annoyed and confused, he thought that he had done nothing wrong.

   "Queen, concubine mother!" Li Yin came to Concubine Yang and stood by her side.

   Concubine Yang glanced at Su Morer at the end and said: "Mother asked you, the girl sitting on the outermost side is called Su Moer. Mother remembers that she was with you a long time ago."

   "Yes, concubine mother." Li Yin was even more puzzled. He looked at Su Morer, and saw that Su Morer didn't seem to notice, but Cui Yingying winked at him.

Concubine Yang heard the words and said: "Mother has already asked Yingying just now, since she has broken her body, she will marry him in a dignified way, and Mother is still talking about marrying you a concubine, what are you doing now? Are you afraid that others will gossip about you if you speak out?"

   "Your mother and concubine are right! I think this girl is also pretty good. Just now, she received people and things very well, and she spoke generously. Although her status is a bit low, it is good to be a concubine!" Empress Changsun also took advantage of the excitement. (.)
