Chapter 18: Seeing and Hearing, Showing Off Your Wealth!

When Li Shimin's figure appeared in the village, his face couldn't help but have a hint of novelty.

Unlike the villages he had seen, the houses were scattered and orderly, and the roads were neat, which he had never seen.

"Miss!!"

Suddenly, an excited voice sounded, and it was an old man with gray hair.

"Old man Ding, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Empress Eldest Sun's eyes fell on the old man and couldn't help but show a smile and said, It has been a few years since I met this old man, and I didn't expect to remember myself.

The most carefree time for her was not after she became a princess, but when she lived as a father.

There is also a lot of memory of her here, to know the first year of Wude, when she had just become a princess.

At that time, His Majesty was fighting in the south and the north, and she lived in the farm or Shu Mansion more often.

"Miss, you are going to torture the old age, if it weren't for the old man to give me food, where can I be so leisurely now."

Ding Laohan said with a hint of happiness on his face, you must know that he was still a homeless person in the war, let alone live in such a good house.

"Old man Ding, do you know where the old man is?"

Empress Eldest Sun did not chat with the old man but asked out loud, although after coming to the farm, she did not find anyone in the courtyard.

"Miss, the master has taken the young masters to the vegetable garden."

Ding Laohan couldn't help but speak, with a hint of respect in his words, obviously from the bottom of his heart.

Li Shimin, who was on the side, quietly watched the conversation between the two, and couldn't help but feel very complicated in his heart, how good it would be if all the villages in the world were like this farm.

After learning about it, he knew that this was impossible, and that the village alone would require a lot of investment, even if the farmers were asked to pay it back in ten years, they would lose a lot.

"This cheap father-in-law didn't see that he was so rich."

Li Shimin had some taste and thought, to know that even when he rewarded the minister, he had to consider it for a long time.

Where is it like this cheap father-in-law even helped build a farmer's house, this is simply rare, he believes that this village is afraid that his own emperor name is not as good as his father-in-law.

When Li Shimin and his wife walked to the vegetable garden, they saw an old man picking vegetables with two young men.

"Grandpa An, you pick some of this."

"Big brother, you go pick that."

.....

On the other side, there was a little Lori who was constantly directing something, obviously very excited.

"Gao Ming Qingfinch will actually go to pick vegetables?"

Li Shimin's eyes seemed to see something incredible, and he muttered, to know that he knew his son Mo Ruo's father.

He still didn't know what the personalities of these two sons were, but he didn't expect that he would be willing to pick vegetables now.

"Father, mother!"

Xiao Changle was the first to see these two figures, and couldn't help but snort softly, with a hint of surprise in his words.

Looking at his daughter who trotted all the way, Li Shimin still had a lot of grievances before, and now he is gone.

"Father, mother!"

At the same time, both Gao Ming and Qingque shouted.

However, this warm time did not pass long, because a faint voice sounded.

"The vegetables are almost picked, let's go back, it's almost dark."

"Now that we're back, let's go have a meal together."

Shu An's words did not regard Li Shimin as an emperor at all, but as a son-in-law, but Li Shimin could only smile slightly bitterly and did not speak.

"Father, is there anything else you need help with?"

Empress Changsun seems to have long been accustomed to smiling slightly, and her father's personality is still the same as before, without any changes.

And a woman's heart is always delicate, and a sentence back means that the father does not treat her as an outsider, which naturally makes her happy.

"It's okay anymore, wait for someone to take the picked vegetables to the kitchen, let's go back to the yard first."

Shu An looked at Wuji's face and said gently, there are not many people who can make him so gentle.

Even in the face of Li Shimin, Shu An always keeps a straight face, and only a few people who are close to him are not like this.

......

In a courtyard near the river, a large round table was already in place, different from the normal one.

In the center of the round table is a concave disc, and the disc is made of iron, which is the table that Shu'an specially uses to eat grilled fish and hot pot.

Although it is not yet winter, the grilled fish that has already been prepared makes the audience sweat profusely.

Even if he sent a lot of fish to the palace, the chef who made the grilled fish in the palace was only a novice.

Where can he compare with the old chef who has followed Shu An for decades, even Li Shimin has to admit that there is a big gap.

Everyone present was gobbling it up, but Shu An ate a few bites lightly and put down his chopsticks.

"Grandpa An, why don't you eat it?"

Xiao Changle couldn't help but say when he saw that Shu An seemed to have no appetite.

"Grandpa An has been eating a little more grilled fish recently, so he asked the kitchen to cook a few dishes to change the taste."

Shu An showed a smile on his face and said loudly, in fact, since returning to Chang'an, he has eaten the most grilled fish.

For people in this era, it may be good to have food, but for Shu An, this is not the case.

However, this sentence silenced everyone present, especially Li Shimin, who felt that he had been seriously injured by a critical hit.

What does it mean to eat too much grilled fish, this is simply a naked show of wealth, even if Li Shimin himself can only eat it once in a while.

After all, even he is not good at grabbing things with his wife and children, and a grass carp is only a few catties, which is not enough at all.

"Master, the dish you asked for is here."

At this moment, the voice of Laifu sounded, and a golden roast duck was placed in front of Shu An, and then a smell from the roast duck instantly spread throughout the entire courtyard.

The people who were eating the grilled fish couldn't help but look at the source of the fragrance and swallowed their saliva.

"The skin is crispy, the meat is tender, fat but not greasy, and it is well baked."

After Shu An cut a piece with a knife, he tasted it with some satisfaction and said, he already had the level of seven or eight points in later generations.

In addition, ducks in this era are not like all kinds of ducks born in later generations, which are pure and natural, and the meat is more delicious.

"Grandpa An, Changle wants to eat!"

At this time, Xiao Changle's saliva was about to flow out when he heard Shu An's words, and Gao Ming Qingque was not much better.

Only Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wujian were very calm, but the temptation from the food still made the two of them look at each other from time to time.

"Let's eat a little bit of everyone, and there is another dish of white duck that is not served, and it tastes good."

Shu An couldn't help but glance at everyone and said, and at the same time, his eyes couldn't help but fall on Li Shimin.
