"Really~" the little princess said seriously, "I don't believe it~ unless I try it~"
The people near the stove heard what the little girl was doing with the abacus.
"Sizi, you can't do that." Empress Changsun gently picked up the little princess, not wanting her to be like this.
"It's okay, let Xiao Mingda try it and see if it's salty." Grandma could see that the little princess wanted to try it.
"Hehe~"
Princess Yuzhang took the chopsticks and picked up a piece for the little princess. "Is the sizi salty?"
"I didn't taste it~"
The little princess looked at the bacon with lingering satisfaction.
"You little girl." Li Lizhi shook her head, "Let's eat together later."
"Sizi, be obedient. Grandpa, grandma, and grandpa haven't eaten yet. You can't eat first. Grandpa and grandma are the elders..."
Empress Changsun spoke to the little princess earnestly, telling her to instill in her the idea of respecting elders from an early age.
"Hmmmm~ Let's go~"
The little princess didn't say "try it" again. She just stayed close to her grandmother and hugged her arm.
The little princess listened to the advice.
Not to mention the little princess, Li Shimin was also greedy. He was already a little hungry, and Xiao Ran was frying it in front of him. The aroma was so strong that it made him even hungrier.
Grandma looked at the little princess kindly and said, "You'll be able to eat soon."
"Hmmmm~ Qifanfan~"
Grandma gave the little princess a mooncake and asked her to eat something to fill her stomach first.
The food cooked at home is completely different from that cooked at the villa.
It's not just bacon, there are also many dishes that are not available in the ancient city, but only in my hometown.
As they gradually became familiar with each other, Li Shimin, Empress Zhangsun and the two old people were talking and laughing.
Grandma and Empress Changsun talked about several princesses and liked them all from the bottom of their hearts.
While they were chatting, Xiao Ran and Princess Li Lizhi of Yuzhang also prepared dinner.
Because it was Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Shimin and several princesses were there, so the meal was quite sumptuous and there were more dishes.
It can't fit on the small round table, but it's just right on the stove.
But the stove was a little high and the little princess couldn't reach it at all, so she had to be held by someone else.
The one holding the little princess is Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran looked at Princess Gao Yang and said, "Seventeen, bring the wine in the car and let my uncle and grandfather have a taste."
I forgot before, Xiao Ran brought back a lot of tables this time.
Xiao Ran didn't say it specifically, because if the old man knew, he would definitely not be willing to drink it.
Li Shimin did not act like an emperor, but took the initiative to open the bottle and pour wine for his grandfather.
"Okay, okay, half a cup will be fine."
Although grandpa also drinks, it is just a small amount. Xiao Ran has never seen grandpa drunk since he was a child.
Whenever my uncles and aunts drink together during festivals, they always cause trouble and something goes wrong.
This made Xiao Ran feel a little resistant to drinking.
Grandpa picked up the glass and said, "I'm afraid this wine is not cheap."
Grandpa picked up the bottle and was stunned for a moment, "Heavenly Bodhisattva!"
Grandpa suddenly realized something.
"Grandpa, it's the one from Maotai Town, not that one. That one doesn't sell well." Xiao Ran made up an excuse. If his grandfather knew, he would not be willing to drink it.
I have to say that Xiao Ran is too wasteful and spends money recklessly.
The old man couldn't have done that.
"Oh oh oh, I'm afraid it's not cheap either." Grandpa put down the bottle.
"It's okay, a few hundred dollars, four bottles are okay."
Grandma handed the chopsticks given by Li Lizhi to Empress Zhangsun first, "His aunt, you take it first."
Sometimes it is difficult to address peers or younger generations by name, so we just address them by the same name as younger generations.
When grandma heard Xiao Ran call Empress Changsun "Auntie", she called her "his Auntie". You can omit "his" and just call her "Auntie".
Xiao Ran had heard his grandmother talk about it before, and this is how it is here.
"Auntie, it's the same. You take it first."
The two little princesses on the other side couldn't wait any longer.
I just like the food in my hometown, and I’m almost tired of the food in the villa.
I have always liked the bacon and wild vegetables from my hometown.
Several princesses were also there, which helped to improve the atmosphere.
The dinner was very harmonious. Although the old tile house was a little dim and far inferior to the villa, it felt warmer and more homely.
"Father-in-law, come here!" Li Shimin picked up the wine glass and clinked it with his grandfather.
The current Li Shimin has integrated into the society very quickly, which is completely different from when he was in the Tang Dynasty. It is hard to imagine that he is the Khan of the Tang Dynasty.
After everyone else had finished eating, Grandpa and Li Shimin were still eating. Those who were drinking ate slowly, chatting and drinking at the same time, so they spent relatively less time eating.
Fortunately, the food on the stove doesn’t get cold easily.
The full little princess lay obediently in Xiao Ran's arms, rubbing her little belly contentedly with one hand.
Princess Gaoyang squeezed between her grandmother and Empress Changsun.
Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang stood next to Xiao Ran, one on the left and one on the right.
It was foggy outside and a light drizzle was falling.
Autumn is very uncomfortable. There are many rainy days, and it is normal to not see the sun for ten days or half a month.
Xiao Ran also annoyed this season. In the countryside, people still had to work even on rainy days.
It is very uncomfortable to get your shoes, trouser legs and clothes wet when you go to herd cattle, cut grass or work in the fields.
There was no cement road in the village before. When it was cloudy for a long time, people and livestock walked back and forth on the road and the mud was very deep due to frequent steps. It was very inconvenient to go out without rain boots.
It's a bit cold outside, so it's just right to stay at home by the stove.
Grandma asked Princess Gaoyang to bring chestnuts, melon seeds and peanuts and roast them on the stove.
This is a good way to pass the time, watching TV and eating melon seeds, it's very comfortable.
Xiao Ran peeled peanuts and chestnuts for the little princess, but the melon seeds were a bit troublesome.
"Grandma, this chestnut is green." Princess Gaoyang picked it up and took a look.
"This one is more tender, not yet black, and this one is sweeter."
Hearing her grandmother say it was sweet, Princess Gaoyang handed the green chestnut to the little princess and said, "Sizi, this is for you."
"Grandma, this is this year's new chestnut!" Princess Yuzhang picked it up and took a look.
"Well, it's starting to ripen now. You can go pick it." Grandma handed the tea to Empress Changsun.
The tea my grandparents drink is a bit bitter and strong.
"Well, let's go and take a look tomorrow." Princess Gaoyang had never picked chestnuts before and wanted to give it a try.
"Grandma, when are we going? In the morning as well?" Princess Yuzhang also asked.
"Well, there are more in the morning, but if you go late, there will be nothing left."
As Xiao Ran peeled chestnuts for the little princess, he said, "The chestnuts on the chestnut tree don't all ripen at the same time. Some ripen early, some later. Every morning a batch of ripe chestnuts will fall down on their own. You can pick them up on a first-come, first-served basis."
Li Lizhi and the others were a little excited.
"I want to go too~"
Xiao Ran turned around, opened the door, and looked outside. "It might rain. It's not only cold this morning, but there's also a lot of dew."
"It's okay, just come back and change your clothes." Princess Yuzhang didn't care.
I just like these things.
Xiao Ran also listened carefully. Li Shimin and his grandfather talked not only about planting potatoes and corn, but also about livestock diseases.
Princess Yuzhang had said before that her grandfather was a veterinarian, and Li Shimin always remembered it.
Li Shimin asked his grandfather for advice with an attitude of learning, but his grandfather didn't expect that Li Shimin knew nothing about these things.
