Chapter 22 Potatoes have the appearance of a state banquet

Li Sheng was stunned. Is there a guest coming?

Madam? Could it be...

Curious, Li Sheng walked towards the living room.

Then... I saw a familiar face. It was Lao Li's wife, holding a little girl with a pink and jade in her hand. She was about eight years old and was as cute as porcelain dolls.

""

...

This old Li's wife is naturally Empress Changsun.

This time I couldn't stand my longing, but as a queen, I couldn't walk around easily.

However, Empress Changsun still came up with a good reason.

My daughter Changle is here and she is studying well in elementary school. She just happened to find a master to be a teacher for her to study!

There is obviously no problem with finding a teacher for a woman. After all, even if you are the queen, there is nothing wrong with respecting teachers and valuing education.

Besides... Sheng'er's talent was admired by several ministers such as Du Ruhui!

Now, taking advantage of the good sunshine on this day, Empress Changsun came out with her daughter.

...

After meeting with Empress Changsun, Li Sheng naturally noticed the little girl.

He has a smart eyes, but is very regular, and obviously has a very good education.

Li Sheng always felt that the child's little face... looked inexplicably familiar, but it couldn't be said to be where it was.

"Madam, this child..."

"This is the little girl in the family, named... the nickname Lele. Lele, please salute to your master!"

Changle Yingying stood up and bowed respectfully to Li Sheng.

Li Er suddenly laughed. This child is still very well-behaved.

"Madam, this child is..."

As he said that, he raised his head, his eyes a little confused.

What is the situation when calling a master?

"This is the youngest daughter in the family. She has studied the elementary school well and has good qualifications!"

"Isn't that just thinking that the young master is called Xiao Taibao, and he is both artistic, civil and military. If he doesn't dislike him, he will accept this child as a disciple, what about?"

That’s right, Empress Changsun was thinking about letting Changle take this brother as her teacher, so that she would have the opportunity to see the child in the future!

By the way, you can also bring things to your children and give them pocket money.

It was the early Tang Dynasty, but many customs and concepts that were praised by later generations had become popular. For example, letting the daughters at home study was arbitrary in the Song Dynasty, which was arbitrary and abnormal behavior, but it was different in the Tang Dynasty, which was normal.

Of course, there are also many talented women in other dynasties, but the whole society denies such a thing as this. Occasionally, a female poet writes two poems and is a talented woman.

Only in the Tang Dynasty did women study completely common.

Li Sheng naturally knew this and immediately understood.

Thinking about the fact that I have just gotten rich recently, I really don’t lack the tutoring fee for part-time tutors… Although it will definitely be a reward for being a one-to-one tutor for Mrs. Li’s daughter.

But... I am used to seeing naughty children, Li Sheng's upbringing was refreshing.

From the beginning of entering the door, a pair of black eyes were curiously observing everywhere.

But it is very regular and does not run around, and it is even less loud and noisy like ordinary children.

Li Sheng admires this very much.

Moreover, he always felt that he had an inexplicable relationship with this child.

So after thinking for a while, Li Sheng nodded immediately.

"What's this? Since you are the wife's baby daughter, you will naturally train her carefully!"

"That's good, that's good!"

Li Sheng nodded, and Empress Changsun's eyes narrowed happily.

This child is very close to Changle, and it turns out that he is a biological child...

...

Then Li Sheng looked at the little girl, "Since you are stumbling with me, it won't work if you don't have any benefits. Let me go, me will take you to eat milk and mashed potatoes!"

In the Tang Dynasty, when nations came to the court, eating beef was a serious punishment, but there was a custom of drinking milk.

Both Empress Changsun and Changle knew that they were just "mashed potatoes" and I really never heard of it.

After Li Sheng finished speaking, he took the little girl and walked towards the back door of the front hall. Empress Changsun was curious and naturally followed.

...

Leave the front hall and back door.

It's a corridor, followed by the backyard.

Outside the backyard, there are several acres of green fields.

There are unknown varieties of plants growing green on it, which look very lush, but it seems... neither squid or water chestnuts, nor food.

Empress Changsun showed a puzzled expression, "What is this?"

"This? Potatoes, are you making mashed potatoes? Pick... Oh, there are ready-made ones."

As he said that, he walked towards the edge of the field.

Looking at Li Sheng's figure, Empress Changsun frowned slightly.

It’s “soil” and “mud” again, it doesn’t sound like a good meal, children eat this…

I seem to remember eating it in Teppanyaki before. But I was so excited at the time that I really couldn't remember what it looked like.

As a mother, what she is most worried about is that her children cannot eat well.

But since the child seems to like it very much, she naturally became patient first.

...

The land next to Li Sheng's small house is the wasteland he reclaimed this year. After he handled it variously in just half a year, it is now a fertile land.

However, Li Sheng was not sure whether the soil quality was improved enough, so he only planted potatoes. The potatoes needed for various dishes on weekdays came from them.

There was a small basket next to the field trunk, which was filled with a few potatoes. It was obviously picked by the maid and placed here.

Li Sheng directly picked up the basket and said, "Madam, Lele, let's go with me, the most delicious thing I make now!"

Queen Changsun didn't want to eat the food she made by her child. Naturally, she responded with a smile, but she was still curious.

"I just said mashed potatoes, but what do I think of them? Why do I need to eat puree for my children? Haha!"

"Mrs. I'm just joking. No matter how much you eat, you can't take your children with me, right? Besides, my wife doesn't know anything about other cooking skills. But when it comes to brewing, barbecue, and mashed potatoes, that's awesome!"

Li Sheng was right. He used to make midnight snacks by himself, and basically all these three things were done.

Empress Changsun looked at the child with a smile, and felt that the child had really grown up.

then……

Li Sheng naturally came to the kitchen and started making.

Slice, cook...

The potatoes cook without taking much time. Then take out a large porcelain jar that I bought specifically to make mashed potatoes and pound them into mashed potatoes...

After a while, it will be done!

After that, the fragrance drifted out.

With the fragrance of potatoes and the strong fragrance of milk, Changle could no longer help but beg for his mother and wanted to go to the kitchen to see his master.

Empress Changsun was also secretly surprised.

What this child made is so fragrant... She and Changle tasted delicious food in the palace, but this unique sweetness is really...

Before the table was served, my index finger moved!

When Li Shengzhen brought three plates to the front hall.

The moment she saw the mashed potatoes, Empress Changsun's eyes lit up.

I saw that the food on the plate seemed to be of some kind of soup, with a light yellow color, and a texture like a pile of snow, which was extremely exquisite.

"Is this... mashed potatoes?"

Empress Changsun thought the name was not very good, but she didn't expect that this thing just looked so precious.
