Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

As a personal maid in the Prince's family, Yanxia had naturally seen some of the world. Even towards Li Shimin, she was not as afraid as ordinary people. She climbed onto the cart nimbly and took out the small noodle stove, clay pot, and noodle bowls and placed them on the cart frame.

Li Shimin and others were waiting to see it, but they didn't expect it to be a bowl of noodles.

Li Daozon's dislike for his daughter reached its peak. She had a bad character and was so petty that she even ate a bowl of noodles in secret.

Mrs. Li, on the other hand, had eaten this instant noodles on the way here, but she didn't eat it twice - Li Xueyan shamelessly asked Wang Mingqian to help her cook it, and asked Yanxia to bring it back.

The return journey took five days. She hadn't smelled this smell in the first four days. She thought it was because the young master of the Wang family was not there and there was nothing to eat. She didn't expect that it was her own little leaky cotton-padded jacket that ate it all by itself!

She glanced at her husband, whose nose was almost crooked with anger. Well, people always need a control group to feel satisfied. Look at the taste. She hasn't tasted a single bite. At least she can get a small bowl. That's good enough!

"It's just cooking noodles, why are you hiding it? Aren't you ashamed?" Li Daozon felt his wife's contemptuous eyes, and suddenly felt bad. Their relationship has always been ordinary, and he likes beautiful concubines. His wife has always ignored him and is too lazy to pay attention to him.

Today, he finally looked at me, what kind of look is that?!

Li Xueyan always uses her father-in-law when she can use him, and when she can't, she treats him like her mother and pretends he doesn't exist.

Now that he was being scolded, and in front of His Majesty, she relied on her youth to speak up bravely: "If we don't put the eggs in this pancake, we can just boil it in boiling water and eat it. It's much more convenient than cooking noodles. We need to boil water to drink in the carriage anyway, so why hide it?"

The curtain was clearly only one-third open, right? Otherwise, how could the smell have spread so far?

"Oh? Just simmer it in boiling water and you can eat it?" Li Shimin, who had originally lost all interest, turned his attention back to the bowl of noodles after hearing this. He saw that in addition to the chopped eggs, there were also many green things on the reddish-brown noodle soup.

He narrowed his eyes, and the eunuch beside him immediately stepped forward, bent over, and held the bowl of noodles in both hands and placed it in front of him. Li Shimin looked at it for a while and couldn't help laughing: "What kind of dish is this? Why is it so tiny?"

"Your Majesty, these are dried vegetables that have been cooked and dried. Just bake whatever vegetables you have and put them in when you stew the noodles. You will be able to eat them in a short while." Li Xueyan was also a discerning person. Seeing that Li Shimin was not angry at all, she became bolder and picked up a pair of chopsticks to pick up a piece of boiled dried vegetables to show him.

Li Shimin rose to prominence on the battlefield. In times of emergency, soldiers and generals alike often went for weeks, even months, without a bath, and even seven or eight days without a hot meal. Border regions are often cold year-round, and living without a hot meal for days on end was incredibly difficult.

What's more, wars are mostly stalemates.

But if this thing can really be eaten by soaking it in boiling water, then there will be more opportunities to eat hot food on the battlefield.

"Miss Li, do you have more bread? If so, can you give me this bowl?" A voice as clear as a silver bell sounded, and a woman with a face like a silver plate, cheeks like peaches, and curved eyebrows walked out from behind Li Shimin.

The corners of her eyes were slightly upturned, her forehead was broad, her nose was slightly hooked, her earlobes were full and round, and she smiled whenever she opened her mouth. She looked like a lively young lady: "Your Majesty, I am greedy too."

This was a way of acting coquettishly, but also to let him taste it first. As an emperor, he naturally could not eat food of unknown origin. What's more, it was cold, and the bowl of noodles was almost cold in such a short time.

Li Shimin smiled heartily, raised his hand and tapped her forehead lightly, then said to Li Xueyan: "Yan'er, this is Wu Cairen, who is about the same age as you. He has the nature of a child who loves to laugh and play. If you feel bored on the road, you two might as well play together."

Lady Wu was married to His Majesty after he arrived in Luoyang. There were many people at the banquets during the New Year, and His Majesty had even more women, so she didn't notice it. But now it seems that Lady Wu is also a capable person.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Xueyan personally handed the bowl of noodles to Wu Meiniang: "Ms. Wu, please enjoy."

The fate between people is so strange. The first time she saw this talented woman Wu, she felt that she had a very blessed appearance, like Maitreya.

Wu Meiniang took the bowl of noodles without hesitation, glanced at Li Shimin with her eyes, then picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of the instant noodles that were still slightly warm. Her expression was a little surprised, she didn't expect the noodles to be so soft.

Soon she felt that the noodles tasted delicious, so she held the bowl with both hands and drank a mouthful of the soup directly. Everyone's eyes were on the bowl of noodles. She gulped down several mouthfuls before stopping and said to Li Shimin in surprise: "Your Majesty, it's really delicious. The noodles are soft and the soup is rich. The dried vegetables are also very flavorful."

"Oh? Is that really true?"

Seeing that he was very interested, Li Daozong immediately scolded Li Xueyan: "Why don't you quickly bring out some new ones and cook them for His Majesty!"

Even though he is now a clan member who enjoys eating, drinking and having fun at home all day long, he is still an idle clan member. But even if he is a clan member, it is different if he has real power. When he was just released from prison, he didn't feel anything, but after a long time, the feeling is different.

Now, if I have the chance to win the favor of His Majesty, not to mention reinstating me, what would be the harm in being demoted one or two levels?

Li Xueyan secretly glared at him, and then, under the threat of her mother's eyes, she obediently asked Yanxia to get a pack of snacks for five days later.

Seeing that Yanxia had indeed only taken out a snack pack, a small bag of dried vegetables, and a small can of mutton sauce, Li Xueyan felt relieved and gave her a look of high praise, which scared Yanxia so much that she took emergency shelter - burying her head in her chest.

You are so timid!

Li Xueyan wrinkled her nose, took the snack bag from her hand and introduced it to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, there are two flatbreads here. Half a bowl of water is enough for one flatbread. Add a spoonful and a half of mutton sauce. If you want to add chicken eggs, you have to cook them in a pot. If not, just put them in boiling water and put a plate on top."

"What are these?" Li Shimin looked at the other things with some curiosity. He could tell that the round ones were pancakes, but what about the others?

"It's a snack. My friend who makes instant noodles made it for me to eat on the way!" Li Xueyan couldn't help but drool when she thought of Jiang Shangxian. She really wanted to see Aunt Jiang's cooking skills...

"Friend? Who is it?"
