At this time, the store owner had roasted the meat and brought it up. Liu Che was surprised to find that he had never eaten this before.
He originally thought that glutinous rice cake was just glutinous rice cake and barbecue was just barbecue, but he didn't expect that the owner would roll the glutinous rice cake into a rectangle, wrap the barbecue inside, and then bake the outer skin of the glutinous rice cake before serving it.
After it was served, Wei Deng tilted his head and looked at it and said, "This one is too long. How can I eat it?"
The young lady pointed at her chopsticks and said, "Share the food among yourselves. Don't ask us for knives. The king has a rule that no one is allowed to bring sharp weapons into the city. Violators will be expelled at the very least."
"Huh?" Liu Che really didn't know there was such a rule before. He was a little surprised. Even Chang'an City didn't have such an overbearing rule.
He watched Weiden clumsily share his food with chopsticks and asked, "Doesn't anyone think it's unreasonable?"
The young lady said, "What's unreasonable about that? Why do you have so many things to do?"
Wei Deng, who was distributing glutinous rice cakes and barbecued meat, almost poked the glutinous rice cakes and barbecued meat out with a shaking hand. He looked up at Liu Che, then lowered his head and held back his laughter.
Liu Che was not angry, but simply said, "It's just because I have never heard of such a rule."
The young lady was a little puzzled: "Didn't you hear the sermon when you entered the city? How could you not know?"
Liu Che: ...
Not only did he come with weapons himself, but even his team came with weapons. Who dared to control him?
Liu Che coughed lightly and said, "It was already late at that time. I was in such a hurry that I didn't hear it clearly."
The young lady then explained, "His Highness said this is for everyone's safety, to prevent thieves or Hun lackeys from sneaking in and harming everyone."
Liu Che asked curiously, "Is there no objection?"
The young lady was puzzled. "Why object? Since this order was issued, public security in the capital has improved. The frequent gang fights have become much less common, and even when there are fights, there are no longer any fatalities. Isn't that great?"
Liu Che turned to look at the old man and the middle-aged man who had been talking to him and asked, "Is that really the case?"
The old man said, "Of course it is."
The middle-aged man said mysteriously, "Actually, not everyone follows the rules, but it is said that those who don't follow the rules are executed by the heavenly soldiers and generals!"
Liu Che was a little dizzy: "Heavenly soldiers and generals?"
The middle-aged man whispered, "Yes, I heard that there is a team of heavenly soldiers and generals stationed in your highness's palace. They appear and disappear at will. If anyone does something bad and the heavenly soldiers and generals know about it, they will definitely be arrested!"
Wei Deng, who had been quiet the whole time, had a bad feeling after hearing this: "Heavenly soldiers and generals? Where did this rumor come from?"
The man glared, "Keep your voice down! Don't let the heavenly soldiers and generals hear you. Your Highness is a deity descended to earth, so why should it be strange that the heavenly soldiers and generals follow you?"
Liu Che cooperated and lowered his voice and asked, "Have you seen it?"
The man rubbed his hands and said, "I haven't seen them, but I have a relative who takes care of the flowers and plants in the palace. He has seen them. I heard that the armor on the heavenly soldiers and generals is completely black, and they hold weapons they have never seen before. They look like bows, but they don't look like bows. The most important thing is that they march in rows or columns, and when they walk, they are like one person. And except for the leader, they never speak to each other. Legend has it that this is because the heavenly soldiers and generals are the result of the Northern King sowing beans to create soldiers!"
Liu Che glanced at Wei Deng with a smile.
Weiden: ...
I never thought that one day he would be mistaken for a heavenly soldier or general.
They were chatting happily here. Liu Che was about to say something when he suddenly heard a familiar voice shouting, "Father...Father!"
When Liu Che turned around, he saw Liu Tan in casual clothes walking towards him hurriedly.
Liu Tan walked up to him, sighed, and said, "Father, why didn't you tell me you were leaving? It would make it easier for your son... your son to find you!"
Liu Che said nonchalantly, "I was just taking a walk, how could I possibly lose it? You've come just in time, sit down and eat with me."
Wei Deng cleverly made way and said, "Young Master, sit here." Then he said, "Young Lady, please tell your father to order another portion, young lady? Young Lady?"
Wei Deng shouted several times before the young lady came to her senses, but her eyes were still fixed on Liu Tan's face.
The old man next to him smiled and said, "The young man is so handsome that the young lady is stunned by him."
Liu Tan had just sat down at this time. He was slightly stunned after hearing this. He turned his head to look at the young lady, smiled at her kindly and asked, "Is this your stall? It's so lively."
The young lady nodded and said simply, "Yes, wait a minute and I'll ask Dad to make you one."
Liu Tan nodded randomly, and looked at Liu Che in shock as he tasted the food from the roadside stall. He couldn't help but coughed lightly and said, "Father, this thing is not easy to digest, so don't use too much."
Liu Che ate slowly and elegantly, making the roadside stall feel like a high-end restaurant.
He swallowed what was in his mouth and said, "It tastes good. No wonder so many people like it."
Liu Tan was curious after hearing this. Just then, his portion was served. The young lady gently placed the plate in front of Liu Tan, then sat beside him, resting her hands on her cheeks and said, "Eat it while it's hot. It won't taste good if it gets cold."
Liu Che looked at Liu Tan's portion, then at his own, and couldn't help but wonder, "Why is his portion meatier than mine?"
Liu Tan looked down and saw that it was indeed the case. The circumference of his portion of glutinous rice cake and barbecued meat was obviously larger than Liu Che's. There was at least a quarter more meat in the comparison.
Liu Tan suppressed his laughter and switched the plates: "It's just right for Dad to enjoy this freshly cooked dish."
The young lady pouted and said, "You are already grown up and you still want to fight with the young master for food."
Liu Che couldn't help but look at Liu Tan seriously. To be honest, he had made incognito visits before, and even brought Liu Ju and Liu Fuling with him. But no matter each time, when others didn't know their identities, he was more popular with the young ladies than his own son. Why was it the other way around with Liu Tan?
Liu Tan cleared his throat, turned to look at the young lady, and said softly, "This glutinous rice cake and barbecued meat are a little cold. Could you please grill them for us again?"
The young lady immediately responded crisply: "Okay!"
Liu Tan pushed the plate over, then drew the dagger from his waist and prepared to cut the plate of glutinous rice cakes and barbecued meat that had just been served into small pieces to make it easier for Liu Che to eat.
The young lady's face changed when she saw it, and she looked up at Liu Tan in shock: "You...you...you are such a person!"
Liu Tan was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"
The young lady's face showed signs of struggle, but before Liu Tan could react, she put the plate on the table, stood up, and ran out, shouting, "Wu Houwei, someone is breaking the rules here and bringing a sharp weapon!"
Liu Tan: ...
Wei Deng: "Wow."
Liu Che: "Hahahahahahaha!"
