Chapter 1171 Pumpkin Pie

Early the next morning, Li Zhi took a few buns and went out.

Xu Hui looked at Li Zhi walking out of the house while cleaning the yard and said, "Isn't His Royal Highness going to the academy today?"

According to the current academy's knowledge, Li Zhi should not be satisfied.

The knowledge of Jingyang Academy is still at the level of primary and secondary schools.

Li Zhi's age has already passed primary and secondary school.

Li Lizhi walked out of his little son's bedroom and said, "Last night, I ate all pumpkin, but now my mouth smells like pumpkin."

While washing up obediently, the little sizi looked at the piles of pumpkins piled up in the yard and said, "I won't be eating pumpkins tonight."

Li Zheng was eating with a bowl of porridge and said, "Make it into pumpkin pie and sell it."

Little Si said in a low voice, "Pumpkin pie?"

Li Zheng said, "It should be quite delicious."

The little si pouted and said, "I don't want to eat."

Li Zheng said with emotion: "You can't keep pumpkins, they will go bad after a long time."

After finishing his business in the stables, Li Zheng sat under the tree waving his fan.

Li Tai wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I've been hungry for more than half a year, do you think I've lost weight now?"

Li Zheng gave him a disgusted look.

Li Taiyou looked at his figure and said, "What are you looking at me like that for?"

Li Zheng snorted coldly, "Not at all thin, but still so fat."

Li Tai thought for a while and said, "It's not right, Wo Mingming feels much lighter."

Waving the fan in his hand, Li Zheng said: "You can eat as much as you do every day. After doing the horse pen work every day and returning to the academy, you only need to eat and pay taxes. Do you think you can lose weight?"

Li Tai thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.

Li Zheng went on to say: "There is a lot of work to do today, you should rest for a while."

Looking in the direction of the academy, Li Tai said, "I still have to go to the academy."

Li Zheng said, "You don't have anything to do when you go to the academy, why don't you help me make pumpkin cakes."

"pumpkin pie?"

"It's a kind of pie made of pumpkin. There are too many pumpkins at home to eat up. You can't just eat pumpkin all the time. It's a waste to make pumpkin pie and it's good for preservation."

After a short rest.

Li Zheng took Li Tai to set up a cauldron.

The pot is very large and is used to steam pumpkin.

To make pumpkin pie, first cook the pumpkin.

Dumb came pulling an ox cart and said, "The pumpkins are all here."

Li Tai looked at the cart of pumpkins, these pumpkins were not small in size.

Each one is as big as a millstone.

Li Zheng picked up a pumpkin and handed it to Li Tai, saying, "Wash it, peel it, and cut it into pieces."

Li Tai held the pumpkin in his hand in a daze, and then looked at the pumpkins piled up like a hill on the bullock cart.

The mechanical mover turned his head to look at Li Zheng, and Li Tai continued, "So many pumpkins are going to be cut?"

Li Zheng struggled to set up a big pot and said, "What else? Let these pumpkins rot here?"

Seeing Li Tai's appearance of not wanting to work, Li Zheng went on to say, "After making the pumpkin pie, I will give you the blueprint for the expansion of the academy in the next stage."

Hearing about the academy, Li Tai said excitedly, "The academy is going to be expanded again?"

Li Zheng thought about it and said: "The village has also counted that there will be about 500 children who will go to school in the next batch."

Li Tai thought about it and said, "Chu Suiliang and the others have also figured it out. It is indeed a bit tight for the current academy to accommodate so many students."

Li Zheng set up the cauldron and said to Dahu: "Go to the village and ask someone to help."

Duan packed up the ox cart and said, "Okay, I'll return the ox cart along the way."

The water in the pot boiled for a while before it boiled.

Once the steamer is set up, put the squash in it.

After steaming for less than half an hour, the sweet fragrance of pumpkin came out.

The big dog turned his head and sat beside the horse pen, his eyes seemed to be full of disgust.

Li Zheng was also a little tired of smelling the smell of pumpkin. Last night's dinner was full of pumpkins.

Now I burp and smell pumpkin.

Take a sip of tea to clear the taste in your mouth.

Sun Simiao, with white beard and hair, came wearing a Taoist robe.

It was very hot beside the steamer, Li Zheng wiped his sweat and said, "Master Sun, why are you here?"

Sun Simiao caressed his beard and said, "Pindao wants pumpkins to be used as medicine, and there is a child in a nearby village who is sick."

Judging by Sun Simiao's expression, he must have confiscated the money again.

But Sun Simiao's medical center really doesn't cost much money.

Sun Simiao roamed the Central Plains all year round, and he had no intention of collecting money for the purpose of treating diseases and saving lives.

It may not be appropriate to ask Sun Simiao to collect money for medical treatment.

Li Zheng pointed to the pumpkin on the bullock cart and said, "Miraculous Doctor Sun takes it by himself."

Seeing that Sun Simiao was about to leave with a whole pumpkin on his shoulders, Li Tai asked curiously, "Doctor Sun, do you need so much pumpkin for medicine?"

Sun Simiao smiled and said: "There are many dishes to eat. This is a good food and food. I also really want to eat this dish of fried pumpkin. I have bad teeth on weekdays. Eating this pumpkin is very comfortable. "

After walking two steps, Sun Simiao turned back to Li Tai and said, "Your Highness, King Wei, don't be too fat. I have seen many obese people have various problems in their later years."

Li Tai scratched his ears and said, "Why do these words sound so strange?"

Li Zheng said: "Miraculous Doctor Sun is actually right. Obesity itself is a disease."

The fire was burning the pot, and Li Tai beside him was covered in sweat. The sweat not only soaked his clothes, but also covered his fat face with sweat.

Handing Li Tai a bowl of water, Li Zheng said, "Drink a bowl of water, I'm really worried that you're dehydrated."

Li Tai waved his hand and said, "I'm not thirsty, I must lose weight this time."

Li Zheng put the water aside, "If you are thirsty, you must drink water."

Li Tai nodded vigorously.

Li Zheng said: "Actually, this is also good. More sweat will also have a wet effect."

The pumpkin was already steamed, and Li Zheng called Li Yifu again and said, "Go to the village and ask for some flour, the kind that aunts make pancakes on weekdays."

Li Yifu quickly went to work after receiving the words.

In the afternoon, the aunts from the village also came with flour.

There are many people standing beside the stables. The recipe of pumpkin pie is very simple, and the aunts who already have accumulated cooking skills will know it at a glance.

Li Tai held a stick and mashed the steamed pumpkin into pumpkin puree.

The horse pen was filled with the chatter and laughter of the aunts.

Li Zheng could still say a few words from time to time, and the aunts laughed even louder.

Li Tai watched this scene with inexplicable warmth in his heart, maybe this is the fireworks in the world.

There is not so much scheming, and there is not so much intrigue.

Li Zheng asked someone to help, and the aunts came with flour and people.

Without further ado, he came up to help.

Looking at the smiles on everyone's faces, Li Tai felt in his heart that maybe his father should also see this happy scene, so that he would understand how beautiful the life of the most ordinary people in Datang is.
