Chapter 325: Sending Warmth to Dad
Li Chu silently finished confronting the aunt, and the results were gratifying, and he was very satisfied.
Ever since he became acquainted with Sister Lingyu, he had learned a lot about bullying.
Fusu didn't know that Li Xiaochu was trying to save face for the Yan family in the Duke's Palace of Qi. After returning home, he hurriedly helped his sisters build a glass house.
Fortunately, Qi Xun was originally a man with first-class hands-on skills. Now that he has cultivated his skills, he can fly as a small construction worker.
When Fusu returned home, it was already half noon, and one-third of the glass house was already in shape. He helped his sister for a while, and then at noon, Qixun dropped what he was doing and went to the kitchen to make lunch. My sister was not at home, and she turned out to be the best cook in the family.
Grandma felt distressed when she saw her coming to the kitchen. How old is the young lady, and she actually wants to work in the kitchen. I don’t know what’s going on with the young lady and uncle at home, and I don’t even want to have another servant.
In fact, it's not that Gongyu Mingxi and the First Emperor don't want to hire someone, it's just that their family has a lot of secrets, and adding someone who doesn't know the details is not a good thing for their family. Moreover, before the children came to the capital, the two of them also had cultivation skills, so they couldn't clean up the house. It's just a matter of cleaning magic. Only the flowers and plants in the yard need to be trimmed.
Then there is the matter of three meals a day. There is really no need to hire anyone.
My family doesn't pay too much attention to their meals. When Qixun saw chicken soup, he paired it with ham and purple jade mushrooms, made a tofu soup, spinach in soup, garlic seashells, steamed sea bass and braised beef. After it was done, he put a portion on it and asked Fusu to send it to Father Long.
Qixun asked Grandma that Father Long often ate at the Yamen at noon. Officials on duty provided lunch, but to families with conditions, servants would also provide lunch. Then it would not be out of line to give Father Long a lunch. The food cooked at home is naturally better than the food provided by the public school.
Fu Su went to deliver lunch and found that his father was not on duty. After asking some adults on duty, he found out that his father Long had gone to the palace and he didn't know when he would be back.
It was hard to take back the lunch that was delivered, so Fusu simply kept it so that if his father Long came back early, he could use it. If he stayed in the palace to eat, giving it to these adults would be considered as helping dad to socialize.
Those adults had eaten the Yan family's snacks and were curious about the quality of the Yan family's food, so of course they would not refuse.
Mr. Yan had never sent meals to his family before, but once his children came, his quality of life skyrocketed.
The elder Mr. Li was a gourmet. When it was time for dinner, he saw that the First Emperor had not returned. Knowing that he was probably left in the palace, which was also a common thing, he called the other two adults and shared the meal happily. The emperor's lunch.
After the three of them finished eating, they couldn't help but envy the First Emperor. They didn't envy Lord Yan's talent as the number one scholar. They were all from the Hanlin Academy. Who doesn't have some talent? I don’t envy Yan Zhuangyuan for becoming a celebrity in front of His Majesty. He lives in the Hanlin Academy and acts as a noble official. He reads documents and compiles history books when he has nothing to do. Isn’t it nice to have a leisurely official career?
But in the eyes of Hanlin, who does not envy fame or fortune, food is something that people cannot refuse.
When the First Emperor came back from the palace before going on duty, he was surprised to find that his three colleagues were even more enthusiastic towards him than they had been in the morning, and they were a little puzzled for a while.
Master Li smiled and handed the food box washed by his entourage to the First Emperor: "Your Majesty came to deliver meals to Master Yan at noon. Since you were not here, we followed the principle of not wasting and helped you solve it. Haha, Master Yan's house." The food is really amazing. By the way, my wife is also a good cook. I feel that in this winter, the meals provided in the Yamen are not enough to warm my stomach. From tomorrow on, I will also ask my wife to deliver meals to me every day. Ask Master Yan to try our Yanzhou delicacies."
Mr. Li's ancestral home is Yanzhou, and his wife is also from a famous family in Yanzhou.
But apart from barbecue, Yanzhou doesn’t seem to have much food worth talking about. If you want to take advantage of others' food, just say so, but he still lets them taste some Yanzhou delicacies.
As soon as he said this, Master Mei and Master Qi couldn't help but roll their eyes.
The First Emperor felt inexplicably that Mr. Li's surname was a bit cute.
But the second son and three daughters were not at home, so the cooking skills of his wife and youngest daughter were not something that the First Emperor, who now had slightly higher standards for food evaluation, could not praise. Not to mention Fusu. This lunch must have been cooked by the fourth daughter.
But the fourth daughter is very unstable in her enthusiasm for work. It all depends on her mood. How does the First Emperor know whether the fourth daughter will prepare lunch for him tomorrow? Then he yelled: "Master Li, you're welcome."
The few of them chatted for a while, then packed up their things and headed back home.
Fusu was waiting outside the Yamen. When he saw someone, he hurriedly took the things from the First Emperor's hand, saluted the adults who were traveling with the First Emperor, waited for the First Emperor to get on the carriage, and then drove back.
Hot tea and snacks were prepared in the car. The First Emperor used a hot towel to clean his hands, then poured a cup of tea, took a sip, and asked Fusu: "Did you get a meal for lunch?"
Fusu drove the car and said, "Xiao Xun said that I will deliver lunch to you every day from now on. Where can I find good food in the Yamen?"
Hearing that his daughter wanted to cook for him every day, the First Emperor smiled, and thinking about Mr. Li's eagerness to go home with him, he said, "Let Xiaoxun prepare more portions tomorrow."
"Which adults want to try it? I will tell Xiao Xun."
After returning home, the First Emperor followed Fusu to see the glass house. The glass house was built in the small garden in the backyard. The small garden was originally not big, about half an acre of land and more than 300 square meters. Once the glass house was built, , taking up almost half of the place.
At this moment, the glass room was filled with green plants and flowers spawned by the spiritual jade. Several potted fruit trees, two pots of cherry tomatoes, and more than ten pots of various vegetables.
In addition to the log mats in the resting area, there are four clam shells placed in another corner, covered with cotton pads and animal skins, surrounding a low coffee table.
The First Emperor looked at it for a while and nodded. Qixun also set up a formation in the glass room to keep warm. The temperature was pleasant at this time. The First Emperor looked at the clam shell curiously a few more times.
Qixun then introduced it to his father: "This is what I got in the sea when my second brother came home last time when he passed by the East China Sea. It can be used to lie down or sit on. It is most suitable to put it in a glass room. Dad, can you try to see if it feels comfortable?" . Let’s have dinner in the glass room tonight.”
Seeing that the First Emperor waved his hand, the decoration of the Tridaca was suitable for girls, so he would not join in the fun.
But he saw the luminous pearl beside the clam and asked: "Did your second brother find such a big luminous pearl from the sea?"
The First Emperor didn't know that his second son had killed two great demon kings in the East China Sea.
Qixun nodded: "There are several more. I have arranged them for my parents' bedroom, as well as my father's study and my mother's study. There is no need to light the lights at night from now on."
Although there was no shortage of jade flowers at home, they were precious elixirs after all. The First Emperor was not a wasteful person, so he often lit lamps at night. He was very happy to get the luminous pearl.
