Boring Ancient Food!
……
The wind swept away the days.
In the blink of an eye, Chu Yi had already married into the Dongping King's Mansion for more than half a month.
On this day.
Chu Yi slowly woke up from his sleep in a daze. At that time, Li Xue Yan had just finished washing up. Seeing that Chu Yi had woken up, she quickly put down what she was doing and walked to the bedside.
"Husband is awake? It was a little later than before. These few days, she woke up later and later, but she was not used to living here?”
Chu Yi put on his shoes and listened to Li Xue Yan's words. He couldn't help but smile and shake his head.
However, he did not reply and allowed Li Xue Yan to dress him while he closed his eyes for a while.
Last night, he had snuck into the kitchen in the middle of the night to cook for himself. It was already not easy for him to get up when the sun rose.
Of course, don't ask why he went to cook in the middle of the night.
She was hungry.
This ancient meal was tasteless and looked very sumptuous. In fact, it was just a decoration. It looked good but was useless. It was not as delicious as his own cooking.
He was not used to eating, so he naturally did not eat much when he ate, so…
Finally, she was woken up by hunger and was helpless.
He could only go to the kitchen in the middle of the night to make food for himself. Otherwise, if he continued to live like this, wouldn't he lose weight in less than half a month?
Sigh.
Chu Yi sighed in his heart.
Why was his life even more difficult than before he entered the Imperial Residence?
Chu Yi washed up while his thoughts flew. After fiddling with it for a while, he sat with Li Xue Yan for a while before falling back onto the bed.
The moment his body came into close contact with her, he immediately fell asleep.
"Ah, it's more comfortable to lie down?”
Li Xue Yan smiled helplessly when she heard this. She seemed to have suddenly remembered and said jokingly,
"I heard a servant talking nonsense the day before yesterday. He said that for the past four to five days, the kitchen had been touched every morning, but nothing valuable was missing.
Now that you've been so tired for the past few days, I can't help but suspect that the person who went to the kitchen to steal cabbage in the middle of the night was you.”
Hearing this, Chu Yi was stunned. He turned over and sat up on the bed. The corners of his mouth curled up." Hey, Madam, don't tell me. It's really me."”
"Ah?"
Li Xue Yan was immediately stunned. She instantly raised her eyes and looked at him in confusion.”
Chu Yi's smile deepened." Your husband said that I was the one who went to the kitchen to steal cabbages in the middle of the night."”
"Is, is it husband?" Li Xue Yan obviously didn't believe it, but she didn't seem to have any reason to not believe it. Her eyes were full of surprise.
Chu Yi looked at Li Xue Yan and sat beside her. She looked at her innocently and said," Why? Madam, do you think that I don't look like someone who would do such a thing?"”
Li Xue Yan nodded blankly.
" But I really did it. I grew up in the countryside and was used to eating plain food. I'm not used to eating good food all of a sudden, so I…"
Chu Yi said.
But before he could finish, Li Xue Yan interrupted him.
"So you sneaked into the kitchen to steal cabbage to cook while I was asleep in the middle of the night?”
Chu Yi nodded to indicate that she was right, but he was still a little embarrassed and quickly corrected her.
"It's true that I woke up in the middle of the night to cook, but I went openly. What do you mean by sneaking away? You and I are husband and wife now. Isn't your house my house? Why should I be sneaky?"
Li Xue Yan was stunned again.
However, what she couldn't refute was that Chu Yi's words did make some sense.
But what she couldn't figure out was why she didn't tell them if she wasn't used to it.
She couldn't help but ask him," Since my husband can't get used to those delicacies all of a sudden, why didn't you tell me? I'll get the kitchen to make something light for you."”
Chu Yi smiled and shook his head. He poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip.
"You don't know about this, right? I married into the Dongping King's Mansion because I got your embroidered ball.
There are so many people outside who want to eat those delicacies but can't. In the end, if I say that I'm not used to it, won't I be gossiped behind my back?”
"…It seems so."
Li Xue Yan did not say anything more.
Just then, the servant girl in the guest hall knocked on the door.
"Princess, son-in-law, breakfast is ready.”
Li Xue Yan nodded.
"Alright, I got it. You can go down first.”
The maidservant retreated again.
Then, she turned to look at Chu Yi, who was sitting beside her,"Husband, do you want to have breakfast this morning?" Why don't I ask the kitchen to make something light for you?”
Chu Yi took another sip of tea.
"It's fine. There's no need to instruct the kitchen to prepare something else. I'll cook it myself later. Madam, go and eat first.”
Li Xue Yan was still hesitant.
But she didn't know what she was hesitating about. He opened his mouth and left the room.
"Then I will go first. If you need the kitchen to prepare something else, husband can let me know.”
Chu Yi nodded and watched Li Xue Yan's departing figure. Many strange ideas popped up in his head.
After eating vegetables for the past few nights, he was tired of them. He had to get some meat to eat today.
With this thought, Chu Yi disappeared like a wisp of smoke.
When he returned, he had a chicken and many strange things in his hands.
The servants didn't dare to ask any more questions. They only dared to discuss in private and prepared the things for Chu Yi according to his instructions.
Just like that, Chu Yi started a fire in his and Li Xue Yan's courtyard.
In the Tang Dynasty, coarse salt was used for cooking. There was no taste at all, so he first had to extract some fine salt.
Therefore, when he was fiddling with those things that were used to refine fine salt, he suddenly sighed. It was really useful to learn mathematics and chemistry.
In the end, he was busy for a while.
When she was done with the things she needed, Li Xue Yan had just returned from her meal.
He saw Li Xue Yan looking at the smoke rising from the courtyard from afar. She covered her mouth and nose with her sleeves. When she walked closer to Chu Yi, she was stunned when she saw the things that were obviously very common but became strange in Chu Yi's hands.
She couldn't help but ask,"What is husband doing?"”
Only then did Chu Yi realize that Li Xue Yan had returned. Hearing her question, he smiled and replied," Madam, you came at the right time. I'll prepare beggar's chicken for you later."”
Li Xue Yan was even more confused,"Beggar's chicken?" A new way to eat chicken? Why haven't I heard of it before?"
Chu Yi was also stunned, but then he realized that Beggar's Chicken didn't exist in the ancient Tang Dynasty.
