Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

Chapter 6 Born to be a foodie!
Not long after, Laifu had already ordered the servants of the two mansions to bring a whole pot of grilled fish to the palace.

"Laifu, put it here!"

Shu An stood up and spoke out. Although the conditions in ancient times were simpler, he still had many ways.

For example, to keep the temperature of the food, this pot is specially made by him. It is different from the round pots that are usually seen.

There are also two iron holes around the iron frame, which can be lifted by two people, so as to ensure the temperature of the food.

Even Li Shimin's eyes lit up when he saw this creation, after all, sometimes because of the distance or various reasons, sometimes the food he ate was cold.

Shu An directly lifted the lid of the pot, and a scent immediately permeated the entire palace.

"Your Majesty, sir."

"Miss, no, Empress Empress!"

"This is a freshly caught grass carp, which weighs nearly thirty catties."

Laifu was a little nervous and stammered. After all, with the change of identity, the former lady became the current empress, which made him a little uncomfortable.

"Grandpa An, Changle wants to eat big fish!"

A little loli had already come to Shu An's side, her eyes were bright and she landed on the iron pot, she said excitedly.

"Okay, grandpa will serve a big bowl for Little Chang Le."

Shu An said with a hint of pampering on his face, although there was no way to have a complete set of ingredients due to age.

For example, there is no such thing as pepper now, and he vaguely remembers that it will be introduced after a thousand years.

However, Shu An replaced it with green peppers. As early as Zhang Zhongjing's Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases, there was a spicy taste, and the source of this spiciness was green peppers.

As long as there is something, it is not difficult for Shu An to find it. In addition, some pepper powder was added, which was purchased from Hu merchants. The spiciness is comparable to that of the previous life.

"Your Majesty, do you want to check?"

A guard whispered in Li Shimin's ear, but Li Shimin shook his head.

If he couldn't even trust his own father, then who else could Li Shimin trust.

"Wugou, ask someone to serve Changle a bowl of white rice."

Shu An's voice sounded slowly, if there is no white rice, eating fish alone is not enough.

Although noodles are used as food in the north, and most of the time they are made into cakes, which is the main food, but for wealthy businessmen and nobles and other upper class people, rice is the staple food.

Empress Changsun also ordered the maids to serve Changle with rice, but at this time even the future prince Li Chengqian, who was sitting upright before, couldn't sit still.

If it were not for the presence of the royal father, the crown prince would have jumped up, and the strong fragrance would have spread throughout the entire continent.

In the previous life, Shu An often ordered a pot of grilled fish with a few university roommates, and then a few bottles of drinks. For Shu An, it was a great enjoyment.

Although it is not winter yet, late autumn in the north is also a bit cold, so eating a bowl of grilled fish with rice is definitely a good enjoyment.

"Grandpa An, I want it too!!"

A little fat man couldn't bear it anymore, and brought his own bowl to Shu An's side, and Shu An also filled a large bowl.

"Queen, the grilled fish is delicious!"

Chang Le, who had already started eating, couldn't help but said with a happy smile on his face, and at this time, Empress Changsun also couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional.

Although I have had a good year in Prince Qin's Mansion, but in terms of food, it is naturally not as good as when I was my father.

"Let's serve a few bowls together, especially Wugou, eat more."

Shu An couldn't help saying slowly, you must know that asthma patients should eat more protein-rich foods, among which fish is particularly rich.

In fact, there were people raising fish during the Tang Dynasty, but Shu An couldn't remember when it was the Tang Dynasty, but there were not many people who were able to raise fish in the early Tang Dynasty.

After the words fell, even Li Shimin, a king, couldn't help but whet his appetite when faced with such a meal.

“This grilled fish is so fresh!”

Li Shimin couldn't help but think of four words when he took the first bite, especially because it seemed to be mixed with some wine and spicy flavors, which made him feel the stimulation from his taste buds.

You must know that because of the severe drought in Guanzhong, Li Shimin has no appetite these days, and of course it has something to do with the simple food in the palace.

Now it is only the soft taste of the fish, especially the charred outside and tender inside of the grilled fish. For Li Shimin who has never eaten it, it seems to be a delicacy in heaven.

Those who were present fell into a state of gobbling, even the eldest grandson queen, who was always well-mannered, was no exception.

As for Li Shimin's words, it is not surprising. Don't forget that Li Shimin started in the army.

"Come here, send some fish meat to Emperor Father, and say it was delivered by Duke Anxuan!"

After eating another bowl of grilled fish, Li Shimin couldn't help but think of something to say, apparently he still hasn't forgotten his father.

Shu An on the side nodded. It seems that Li Shimin was still filial at least in the beginning, even though the history records that Li Yuan's later years seemed a bit bleak.

It must be that Li Yuan is not good in comparison. In fact, he and Li Yuan are quite familiar. After all, they were one of the few acquaintances back then.

After thinking of this, he couldn't help thinking that he would be able to meet this old friend after a while, thinking that Li Yuan insisted on conferring a duke title on him back then.

However, he was politely rejected by the restraint of dislike, and even after the news spread, it made Shu An's reputation of being indifferent to fame and fortune even better.

You must know that this is almost the pinnacle of being a minister, even if Li Yuan wins over the highest figures of those aristocratic families, they are only the county princes.

And basically the titles are all placed on some insignificant positions. It can be said that Li Yuan has given Shu An a rich position.

Even the 24 meritorious officials in Lingyan Pavilion were awarded by Li Shimin after he came to power, not by Li Yuan.

You must know that Shu Jingjing made some suggestions when the Tang Dynasty was first established. Of course, this is based on the historical situation.

Basically, there is a close relationship, and speaking of his achievements, this is one of the reasons for Shu An's refusal.

You don't get paid for nothing, but Shu An has accepted some rewards, such as the current mansion and the farm in the suburbs of Chang'an.

Before that, because of the troubled times, even Shu An didn't dare to put all his family property in one place, because he knew the reasons for the troubled times a few years earlier.

Secretly, he even sent people to turn into small traders to prepare in advance, and made a lot of money from it.

Of course, all of this was done secretly, and only a few confidantes knew about it. It was not until the Tang Dynasty gained a foothold in Chang'an that Shu'an began to raise fish and arrange the industry.
