Lin Chen turned on a photon computer for Li Lizhi and taught her a simple game. Then, Li Lizhi became addicted to it.
Until…
Lizhi, it's time to eat!" Lin Chen shouted.
The day passed just like that, and it was already midnight.
Lin Chen thought about how he hadn't eaten since he had entertained Dai Zhou and Cheng Yaojin in the afternoon. Naturally, he had to eat another meal before going to bed.
"Chen Ge, didn't you already eat your fill? Dinner?" Li Lizhi asked curiously.
It was dinner, breakfast was called dinner, and dinner was also called dinner. The ancients did not eat lunch and had two meals a day.
Generally speaking, if there was leftovers for dinner, it was called supper. If it was not leftovers, it was called a meal.
The explanation for dinner was that it was after eating. It meant that the ancients usually cooked a meal in the morning and cooked more. At night, they would eat leftovers directly. That was probably what it meant.
This way, they could save food, firewood, and time. It was perfect.
The ancients usually ate breakfast at eight or nine o'clock and dinner at four or five o'clock in the afternoon, so Li Lizhi thought that she had already eaten today.
"I told you that we have three meals a day here. Normally, we eat in the morning, noon, and evening.
If necessary, such as staying up late at night, they could even have a midnight snack.
In short, we don't lack food. We can eat whenever we want.
Moreover, we basically don't eat dinner. We cook and eat fresh food.”Lin Chen said proudly.
Compared to the current Great Tang, Lin Chen had the right to be proud.
"What? What about the dinner?" Li Lizhi was surprised.
"Although I don't advocate wastage, if there's really anything left, just throw it away!
" The leftovers from Cheng Yaojin and the rest have been thrown away. Have a seat…" Ling Chen said.
"This…"
Li Lizhi couldn't believe that the big fish and meat would fall before she could finish it.
When he thought of the Tang Empire, even Li Shiming felt a strange feeling in his heart as he ate leftovers.
In ancient times, almost all the officials and nobles of the dynasties ate and ate the food again and again, heating it up again and again. Even the royal family was no exception. The commoners generally did not have enough to eat.
Although Du Fu had written poems such as 'the wine and meat of the vermilion gate stinks, and the road has frozen bones,' it was actually an exaggerated embellishment.
It was just like the poem of the Milky Way Falling from the Nine Heavens. It did not mean that the dignitaries of this era could eat and throw it as they pleased.
Of course, compared to the commoners, the wine and meat of a rich family were stinky.
The truth was that even the royal family couldn't afford to waste money. Only the big aristocratic families were a little extravagant.
"This…Chen Ge, where are your concubines and empress?”
Li Lizhi wasn't surprised that she didn't see any female guests at the previous meal. This was because in all the countries that Li Lizhi knew, female guests were not allowed to sit at the table when entertaining foreign envoys. However, the situation was different for this meal.
"No, your Chen Ge is alone. He doesn't have any concubines or empresses. He's different from your father.
Eat. Our cultures are different, so there's no need for you to be confused with your Great Tang!”Lin Chen said.
"Then…where are the servants? Where are the people from the imperial family?"
Li Lizhi was so shocked that she couldn't believe it. She saw that Lin Chen was at least an adult. As the ruler of the country, which was also the emperor, he actually didn't have an empress and concubines. This was simply unimaginable.
"In my country, there are no servants. That's why I don't want you to bring servants!
However, they could hire servants, such as those who specialized in cleaning rooms, washing clothes, cooking, and taking care of children. These people had to pay, and there was no restriction on personal freedom. It was an equal employment relationship!
Chen Ge had nothing to do, so he did everything himself. Only then would he feel that he was a living person and not a cripple who had clothes and food handed to him.
As for the royal family, Chen Ge doesn't have one either because the emperor here is elected, not inherited or usurped. Whoever is stronger will be the emperor. It's fair and just.”Lin Chen explained as he handed Li Lizhi a pair of chopsticks.
"This, this means that these dishes were personally cooked by Chen Ge?”Li Lizhi covered her mouth and widened her eyes.
She couldn't imagine that Lin Chen, as the emperor, would cook for her personally!
Moreover, in Li Lizhi's mind, everything a woman learned was to serve a good man.
It also indirectly proved that men were lustful, such as the brothels in the Great Tang.
She could not imagine that the ruler of a powerful country did not even have a concubine. Moreover, even the ruler was chosen and not inherited by family background.
"Then, then Chen Ge's people, don't they choose a consort for you?”Li Lizhi was shocked.
