Datang: Begin with Li Shimin as a father

Chapter 46 How many secrets does this brat have in his stomach?
In a quarter of an hour!

Royal Palace.

In the imperial study.

Li Shimin and Cheng Yaojin sat opposite each other.

Cheng Chumo naturally accompanied him.

"Your Majesty, this is the emperor's eldest son. He personally cooked the stir-fry in an iron pan. Chu Mo said, the taste of this stir-fry is delicious!"

"The eldest son of the emperor, thank you for making two iron pots for me. I, Cheng Yaojin, can't eat alone, so please bring them here for your majesty to taste!"

When Li Shimin heard this, his face instantly became joyful.

Be a man like Cheng Yaojin!

This is a model of being a courtier!
"Zhijie, you can do this, my heart is so comforted, my heart is so comforted!"

"Delu, please come to the imperial study for the queen!"

Faced with such delicious food, Li Shimin naturally couldn't forget his most beloved woman.

Today, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun have started a thrifty life, and their lunch portion has been reduced by half.

To be honest, at this time, Li Shimin did feel a little hungry, and he believed that Guanyin's maidservant was not much better.

The delicious food in front of me is not in the thrifty plan.

Li Shimin felt that he could have a meal with confidence and boldness.

Empress Changsun walked slowly, but she had not yet reached the imperial study.

Empress Changsun smelled a strong fragrance.

Didn't you say that, in order to fight the upcoming drought and locust plague, start saving food and clothing from today?

Erlang, why is this so small again?
Empress Changsun quickened her pace and walked towards the imperial study.

"The minister and the dog are silent, and see the empress!"

Cheng Yaojin and his son saw the empress entering the imperial study room, and respectfully greeted them immediately.

"Su Guogong is exempt from courtesy, Chu Mo has grown up so much!"

"Guanyin maidservant, hurry up and sit down, this is the stir-fried dish brought by Zhijie, and it is fried by Gen'er himself in an iron pan."

"Oh!"

Empress Changsun looked at the two food boxes on the table with her beautiful eyes.

"Erlang, so that iron pot is used for cooking!"

Hearing the words, Cheng Chumo's mouth twitched.

It seems that not only my father reported the big number, but His Majesty must also leave an iron pot behind.

Seventh brother, seventh brother!

You asked to make two, but they made four.

I don't care about my business!

"Guanyin maidservant, hurry up and taste it, how does it taste?"

"Zhijie, you should try it too!"

Li Shimin picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of fat and white meat, and put it on the plate in front of Empress Changsun.

Then he also picked up a piece of fat and put it in his mouth.

Seeing Li Shimin's wonderful expression, Cheng Yaojin's mouth was full of saliva.

So, I also picked up my chopsticks and started to act.

A quarter of an hour later.

Li Shimin, Empress Changsun and Cheng Yaojin all put down their chopsticks with unsatisfactory expressions.

No way.

The food box is already empty!
"Guanyin maidservant, what kind of life have we been living all these years?"

"This is a real delicacy."

Hearing Li Shimin's emotion, Empress Changsun nodded with a smile.

"Chu Mo, tell me carefully, how did Li Gen fry these dishes? And how do you use the iron pot?"

Cheng Chumo was the only witness, so Li Shimin naturally wanted to inquire carefully.

Next, Yushufang completely entered Cheng Chumo's performance time.

From building pots with plum roots, to wiping iron pots with pork skin, and then how to cook!

Cheng Chumo told everything truthfully.

"Chu Mo, I sent some craftsmen over here, can you restore the cast pot?"

"Your Majesty, I think it's about the same!"

Hearing Cheng Chumo's answer, Li Shimin was very satisfied.

Cheng Yaojin was more satisfied than Li Shimin.

As long as his son remembers it, the old Cheng's family can also build a pot, and cook and eat all day long.

An hour later.

In the imperial dining room, Li Shimin looked at the pot table that had been built in surprise.

The face is full of joy!

Cheng Chumo told the royal chefs to pour a little oil into the pot, and then wipe the iron pot with the skin of the meat.

There is no lard in the imperial dining room, so it can only be replaced with sheep oil, and the meat skin is naturally sheep skin.

After some operations, the iron pan also became oily and shiny.

"Your Majesty, this iron pan can be used in the future, and the same goes for cooking with suet."

"Oh!"

Li Shimin nodded when he heard the words, there were still bean sprouts left in the imperial dining room.

Li Shimin asked the royal chefs to start operating on the spot.

Despite the heavy smell of oily smoke, neither Li Shimin nor Empress Changsun left the imperial dining room.

When a plate of stir-fried mung bean sprouts comes out of the pan.

Li Shimin tried a sip himself.

Although not comparable, the texture and taste of Li Gen fried.

But the taste is a hundred times stronger than the previous boiled vegetables.

"Not bad, not bad, but your cooking skills still need to be improved."

Li Shimin happily took a plate of stir-fried mung bean sprouts, and left the imperial dining room with Empress Changsun.

When Cheng Yaojin and Cheng Chumo left the palace.

Crown Prince Li Chengqian, King Wei Li Tai and Princess Changle were in the Lizheng Hall, eating a plate of stir-fried mung bean sprouts, enjoying themselves!
.........

Three days later!
Chang'an City East Market, in front of a restaurant adjacent to the avenue, was crowded with people.

"Forgen Restaurant, the name is interesting."

"Yeah, yeah, look at the notice they posted, it will be open for trial operation at noon tomorrow, and all customers can taste it for free!"

"What? Free tasting? Is there really a free lunch in this world?"

"Whether it's true or not, we'll find out at noon tomorrow."

"Yes, yes, yes, let's come and line up early at noon tomorrow."

"Who wouldn't eat for free?"

"It's an idiot who doesn't eat it!"

"........."

Li Gen and Cheng Chumo stood in the crowd, listening to the chatter of the crowd.

Smiling and Cheng Chumo, quietly left.

"Brother Chu Mo, our restaurant will start trial operation tomorrow, and it will officially open the day after tomorrow."

"There is one thing. Because of the lack of equipment, the seventh brother is intentional but powerless. Please ask Brother Chu Mo for help."

"What is Seventh Brother talking about? Is it troublesome or not? Just tell me if you have anything to do."

As soon as Li Gen's words fell to the ground, Cheng Chumo immediately agreed.

Cheng Yaojin informed Cheng Chumo in advance that as long as it was Li Gen's request, no matter what it was, he would agree to it first.

The sky is falling, and Li Shimin is holding it up!
Afraid of a ball!

"Brother Chu Mo, this is the blueprint drawn by the seventh brother. I have annotated the key points in words."

"Uncle Cheng, please go to the Ministry of Engineering again and let the carpenters make two pieces! This object must be finished today, and our restaurant is waiting for it!"

"it is good!"

Cheng Chumo took the blueprint, stuffed it carefully into the sleeve, got on his horse, and went straight to Yongxingfang.

"Father, I'm back!"

Cheng Yaojin, who was sleeping on the bed, was woken up by Cheng Chumo's voice.

"Brat, you know what to say. Is it easy for me? I can't sleep well even after returning to the cage just now."

"Father, the big event, the blueprint drawn by the eldest son of the emperor himself."

Cheng Chumo took the drawing out of the sleeve and handed it to Cheng Yaojin.

Cheng Yaojin lost all anger in an instant!

"Chu Mo, what's the use of this?"

"Father, I forgot to ask."

Snapped!
Cheng Yaojin slapped Cheng Chumo on the forehead.

"Brat, how could you forget to ask such an important matter? How do you ask me to explain to His Majesty?"

"Father, the eldest son of the emperor said that this item is for urgent use in the restaurant. The restaurant will open for trial at noon tomorrow. Now the front of the restaurant is full of people, and there is a lot of discussion there."

"Oh!"

Cheng Yaojin hurried to the bed and put on his shoes.

Since it was urgently needed for the restaurant, Cheng Yaojin had to act immediately.

The restaurant has the shares of his Cheng family, so if he can't get along with anyone, he must not get along with money.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Su has something to ask for an audience!"

In the imperial study, Li Shimin was reviewing the memorial.

Hearing the report from the chief servant Li Delu, Li Shimin immediately raised his head and said.

"Let Su Guogong come in!"

Cheng Yaojin quickly stepped into the imperial study room.

"Your Majesty, Chu Mo got a blueprint from the eldest son of the emperor."

"Oh! Zhijie quickly present it to me!"

Li Shimin immediately put down the memorial in his hand.

Cheng Yaojin presented the drawings.

Li Shimin looked left and right, up and down, but he didn't see why!

"Zhijie, what is drawn in this blueprint?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, I don't know what it is!"

"For this reason, I gave Chu Mo a slap. I blame this kid for forgetting to ask His Royal Highness the eldest son."

"However, one thing is certain. This item is urgently needed by the restaurant. The office said in a silent statement that the restaurant will start trial operation in the next day, and it will officially open the day after tomorrow."

"Oh!"

Li Shimin nodded solemnly upon hearing this.

Since it was an item urgently needed by the restaurant, Li Shimin and Cheng Yaojin couldn't understand it, so they had to go to the Ministry of Industry again.

"Zhijie, how many do you need?"

"Three."

Cheng Yaojin replied without hesitation.

"Then I will ask the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry to make four."
