"Uncle Li, what does our Emperor of the Great Tang Dynasty look like? Isn't he majestic and handsome?"
Is he a big fat man?
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin looked down at his little belly and thought to himself that he wasn't that fat.
"Grandson, where did you hear that His Majesty is fat?"
"I...I guessed...I think he must be a very fat man!"
"His Majesty the Emperor is very majestic and handsome, but not fat. As for his physique..."
Li Shimin looked around but couldn't find anyone of similar build, so he could only look at Yuchi Fan, who was standing guard at the door.
"His size is about the same as my bodyguard!"
Upon hearing this, Li Jue quickly looked at Yuchi Fan and saw that Yuchi Fan was looking exhausted, holding a Tang sword and quietly guarding the gate. He immediately went up to him and led him to the table.
"Sir, please sit down and have something to eat!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Chi Fan almost knelt down in fright. What kind of status did he have that he dared to dine at the same table as His Majesty the Emperor?
"Thank you for your kindness, young master, but I'm not hungry yet. I'll just stay at the door..."
Upon hearing this, Li Jue immediately looked at Old Li with a face full of resentment.
"Old Li, just say something to let him have a meal!"
Li Shimin could not resist Li Jue's pleas, and immediately gave Yuchi Fan a wink.
"Since our eldest grandson has spoken, why don't you come and sit down and have something to eat?"
"Your subordinate..."
"sit down!"
"promise!"
After everyone had only eaten for a short while, Hu Delu brought over a large pot of stewed chicken with several women.
"We really don't have much to offer our distinguished guests in the countryside, only our own old hen, which we'll stew for you to enjoy with your meal. Please don't find it too bad!"
Li Shimin grabbed a piece before Zhang Anan could, chewed it a few times, and was immediately drawn in by the aroma of the stewed chicken.
"Did you add spices to this stewed chicken?"
"Your Excellency has a discerning palate. It's thanks to the addition of fine ingredients like cinnamon and star anise that our lord brought from Chang'an that this stew tastes so good!"
"Spices can be used in cooking?"
It's no wonder Li Shimin asked this question, because spices were originally used as spices and medicines, and almost no one would use such precious things to cook.
"But the flavor is indeed unique, it has a special taste!"
While everyone was busy eating, only Yuchi Fan would occasionally glance at Li Jue.
After all, he had been working hard for this grandson for more than two months, so he had to see what the real person looked like, right?
A large pot of stewed chicken looks like a lot, but there are too many people eating it.
In no time, they devoured a large pot of stewed chicken.
"I didn't realize Old Man Li was such a foodie, hahaha!"
Li Shimin wiped his oily lips with a handkerchief while patting his belly with satisfaction.
"Grandson, you must not be so extravagant in the future!"
"ah?"
"If the censors find out that you're using such precious spices in your cooking, they'll impeach you and you'll be in big trouble!"
Upon hearing this, Li Jue glanced at the mountain of chicken bones piled up in front of Old Li and thought resentfully, "You ate the most, and yet you still have to lecture me at the end..."
Although Li Jue was very resentful, he immediately put on a smiling face when he thought that his title was given to him by this old man.
"Grandson obeys!"
"From now on, when Old Man Li comes, I'll just boil chicken in plain water and not add a single drop of salt!"
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin immediately rolled his eyes at Li Jue.
"I'm an exception!"
"Next time I come, you have to make me that kind of stewed chicken again!"
Hehehe!
