Su Chen went to the kitchen and took a look around, but still didn't find any green leafy vegetables.
Green leafy vegetables in the Tang Dynasty are only abundant in spring and summer.
The chefs and waiters in the kitchen were busy preparing today's hot pot.
"The greenhouse must be developed as soon as possible, otherwise there will be no green vegetables for a long time."
Little Sizi didn't care about anything else, and looked up at the slightly blackened bacon hanging on the beam.
She counted carefully with her little fingers.
Su Chen smiled slightly at this, "Little Sizi, have you counted it clearly?"
The little girl shook her head hurriedly and continued to count.
After a while, she looked at her hands, "Brother-in-law, Sizi has counted it!"
"Six big ones, twenty-five small ones!"
The six big ones that Little Sizi said were the hind legs of three pigs. After the front legs were slaughtered, Su Chen and Li Shimin each shared half and ate them.
There were originally 27 small pieces of three-layer meat after removing the ribs.
During this period, I ate bacon no less than five times, and only 25 pieces were left.
"Little Sizi is really amazing! You can count." Su Chen walked up to Xiao Sizi and praised her with a thumbs up.
The little girl laughed so hard that her eyes disappeared, and she clapped her hands vigorously.
"Yeah!"
... On the other side.
Li Shimin's carriage had stopped at the manor square.
After getting off the carriage, Li Shimin unexpectedly found that none of Zhang Long and his men who used to guard the door of the living room were there today.
"Huh, no one?"
Li Shimin and his four companions, plus Li Junxian and Lao Wang, came to the living room, and only two servants buried their heads in the living room to do cleaning work.
When the servant heard Li Shimin's light exclamation, he immediately stood up and saluted.
"Where did your Lord go?"
"Your Majesty, the Lord and Princess Jinle went to the kitchen!" The servant replied respectfully.
"Kitchen?" Li Shimin raised his hand to look at his watch and smiled faintly, "It's a coincidence today, maybe that kid is making fresh food again!"
"Your Majesty, please take a seat, I will go and invite the Marquis now!"
The servant was about to run out, Li Shimin stopped him and said, "No need, I'll go and see what that kid is doing!"
"Great, let's go!"
Li Shimin called Li Chengqian to leave the living room quickly, and the servant hurriedly led the way.
"Su Yan, let's go too!"
"Okay, mother!"
Su Yan bowed, supported Empress Changsun and followed Li Shimin to the kitchen.
After a while, Li Shimin and Li Chengqian entered the room.
"Little Sizi, you like to eat bacon, right?" Su Chen slowly squatted down.
"Hmm!"
"Then you have to be careful! There is only so much bacon. After eating all of it, you have to wait until next year. So don't let father know that there is so much bacon in the kitchen. Father will be very cruel. If he knows, at least half of it will be taken away."
The little girl immediately became alert after hearing this. After approaching Su Chen and looking around, she said, "Sizi won't tell! If father asks, there are only two pieces!" Little Sizi stretched out two fingers to gesture.
Li Shimin and the other four people at the door heard the conversation between Su Chen and Little Sizi, and Empress Changsun smiled with relief.
Li Shimin clenched his fist tightly and tiptoed to touch it.
Li Chengqian smiled proudly and slowly followed behind him.
"That won't work. It doesn't matter if my father doesn't eat bacon, but my mother wants it! Next time I go to the palace, I'll bring her two big pieces and eight small ones."
"What do you think?"
Little Sizi looked up at the bacon and thought for a while, "Okay! Two big pieces and eight small ones."
"So good! Make two big plates of bacon for little Sizi at noon today! Okay?" Su Chen bent his fingers and teased the little girl.
"Okay! Let's have bacon at noon!"
The little girl clapped her hands again and suddenly stretched out her arms for Su Chen to pick her up, sniffing twice.
Su Chen understood that little Sizi wanted to smell the hanging bacon up close.
The bacon was not hung very high, and Su Chen could barely touch it by standing and stretching his hand.
Su Chen held the little girl up, and little Sizi got close to the bacon and smelled it.
"Smells good!"
Li Shimin and the others behind Su Chen looked up at the blackened bacon, and were sure that they had never eaten this so-called bacon.
"Boy, is this pickled pork?"
Su Chen turned back suddenly when he heard the voice, "Uh, Your Majesty, when did you come? Why didn't you say anything? You scared me!"
Putting Xiao Sizi down, he looked at Empress Changsun.
"Mother, you are here!"
Then, smiling, he nodded politely to the strange woman next to Empress Changsun.
Many people in the kitchen had already noticed that the emperor had come, and when they were about to salute, they were stopped by Li Chengqian.
Jin'er was the first to send the emperor and Empress Changsun into the kitchen.
"Master Liu, add more dishes for lunch!" Su Chen shouted to Master Liu, and then looked at Li Shimin, "Your Majesty, the kitchen is heavy with oil smoke,Shall we leave here and go to the living room?"
Li Shimin glared at Su Chen and snorted, then walked out of the kitchen.
Li Chengqian looked disappointed, thinking that Su Chen would definitely be beaten just now.
"Brother-in-law, when did you enter the kitchen?" Su Chen and Li Chengqian followed Empress Changsun.
"Not long after, when you said, 'It doesn't matter if my father doesn't eat bacon, my mother must eat it!', my father just happened to hear it!" Li Chengqian glanced at Su Chen and smiled gloatingly.
"Hiss~! Why do I feel that you have bad intentions? Do you want to see me get beaten? "
Just now I felt strange that the emperor and empress came to the kitchen, but those people did not come forward to pay their respects.
Su Chen had noticed that the strange woman who was beside Empress Changsun before was walking with Li Chengqian again.
He probably guessed her identity, either a princess or Crown Princess Su.
But no one introduced her, so he didn't take the initiative to speak.
When everyone came to the door of the living room, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu each dug two sweet potatoes with vines and washed the dirt off the surface of the sweet potatoes. Each sweet potato vine had five or six sweet potatoes, all of which were not small.
The boots and hems of the two of them were a little damp, obviously they had been washed outside.
"My Lord, I have dug the sweet potatoes, and they are no smaller than the first season sweet potatoes." Zhang Long bowed to Li Shimin and others first, and then reported to Su Chen.
Li Shimin glanced at him and walked to the living room. The sweet potatoes in the imperial garden were not smaller than these.
"Well, we can dig sweet potatoes when the weather clears up for another two days! "Su Chen nodded, and then followed Li Shimin to the living room.
Li Shimin sat upright, smiling, and followed Su Chen's figure closely.
"Boy, tell me, 'It doesn't matter if the emperor doesn't eat bacon', how do you explain this? "After Su Chen sat down, Li Shimin began to question him.
Su Chen was not panicked at all, at most he would lose two hams.
"Your Majesty, you must have heard it wrong. "
No one knows that Li Shimin is secretly happy at this time.
Li Shimin heard the conversation between Su Chen and Xiao Sizi in the kitchen just now very clearly.
When Su Chen mentioned him, he said things like: 'Don't let father know', 'Father is very cruel', 'It doesn't matter if father doesn't eat bacon'. Su Chen and Xiao Sizi are not siblings, so under normal circumstances, he should say: 'Your father' is in line with common sense.
Li Shimin understood Su Chen's behavior as Su Chen had recognized him in his heart and called him father.
As for the engagement between Su Chen and Princess Changle, it was not worth mentioning in Li Shimin's eyes. Su Chen had long called Empress Changsun his mother, but he had always been reluctant to call him father, so Li Shimin had always been upset about it.
"Haha, did I hear it wrong?" Li Shimin smiled faintly, glanced at Li Chengqian, and said: "Great, what did this kid say before, you repeat it! "
Hmm~hum~!
Li Chengqian cleared his throat, stood up and came to Xiao Sizi, squatting down.
The scene of the conversation between Su Chen and Xiao Sizi in the kitchen was reproduced. It cannot be said to be exactly the same, but there is no difference.
Xiao Sizi saw that her father was going to blame her brother-in-law.
How can this be?
"No, no! My brother-in-law said: Next time I return to the palace, I will give my father two big pieces of bacon!" Xiao Sizi ran around Li Chengqian and ran to Li Shimin, holding up two fingers and arguing seriously.
Li Shimin opened his eyes wide and looked at Xiao Sizi, then looked at Su Chen.
"Hahaha!"
Li Shimin walked up to Xiao Sizi and picked her up. "Mingda, how does the bacon taste?"
"It's... it's okay!" Xiao Sizi looked a little embarrassed, but her brother-in-law taught her that children should not lie.
"Hehe! "
Li Shimin understood that his beloved youngest daughter had also revealed some of her secrets.
