"Coming…"
"Be careful, watch the plate."
Xu Nian dragged his words out and walked out of the kitchen with a plate.
Third Butterfly's side dishes were all stir-fried with the most common vegetables in the Great Tang. And a big carp with vinegar sauce.
It was fragrant.
Empress Zhangsun, Sun Simiao, and Li Junxian couldn't help but look down, their stomachs growling in disappointment.
"Little Lord, you know how to cook?" Empress Zhangsun couldn't help but say.
"Mother, you said it."
"As a foodie, I can't just eat. I like to study recipes when I have nothing to do.”Xu Nian wiped his hands as he spoke." Although the Tang Empire doesn't have any seasonings, we can still make do with the ingredients."”
Xu Nian smiled.
"Is that so?" Empress Zhangsun could not help but swallow hard. She picked up her chopsticks and was about to eat.
Empress Zhangsun was really starving. When Xu Nian was cooking just now, the smell coming from the kitchen made her drool.
However, just as she picked up her chopsticks, Xu Nian snatched them away.
"No!"
"You haven't washed your hands yet. Go, wash your hands before eating.”
"There's hot water over there."
"And the two of you, go, go. You can't eat without washing your hands.”
Xu Nian said firmly, leaving no room for negotiation.
Washing hands before and after meals was the rule Xu Nian had set for this courtyard.
In this era of the Great Tang, if this could be done, there would be fewer illnesses. It was a pity that such a simple thing was not yet common, or rather, no one had the awareness to do so.
Xu Nian watched as the three of them washed their hands and nodded in satisfaction.
"Alright, let's eat."
"The three of you, remember, no matter where you are, you must wash your hands before eating, and you must also wash your hands after going out.”
"This way, you will have fewer illnesses.”
Xu Nian warned.
"Why?" Empress Zhangsun was puzzled.
"Mother, you don't know this, but this will greatly reduce the intake of bacteria. Remember to protect yourself. The Great Tang is not like my hometown.”
"If we get sick, we'll be the ones suffering.”
Xu Nian explained.
Empress Zhangsun seemed to understand, but she nodded obediently.
The person in front of her was someone who was regarded as a Holy Doctor by the Godly Doctor. She had no choice but to believe him.
Empress Zhangsun quickly picked up a piece with her chopsticks.
He couldn't help it.
The fresh and tender fish meat melted in his mouth, leaving a lingering fragrance on the tip of his tongue.
"Hmm?"
"Delicious!"
Empress Zhangsun's eyes widened in shock.""Little Lord, how did you cook this dish? What did you put in there?"
"It's better than all the food I've ever eaten!”
Xu Nian smiled gently.
"Aunt Sun, let's eat. This is obviously a skill, haha.”
"Of course, I still need to use some seasonings, but I haven't completely developed these seasonings yet. I'll give them to you when I'm done.”
Xu Nian said.
"Seasonings?" Empress Zhangsun was confused again.
"Oh, spices." Xu Nian explained.
Empress Zhangsun finally understood.
"Aiya, this is also delicious. What dish is this?”
"Eh? How could such an ordinary dish be so delicious?”
"Aiya, I forgot to bring Lele this time. She has a bad appetite.”
“·······”
Empress Zhangsun enjoyed the meal.
Sun Simiao was also satisfied.
Li Junxian licked the corners of his lips as he looked at the four empty plates. He wanted to pick them up and lick them clean.
However, it was a disgrace to his face, so he suppressed this impulse.
"This is the best meal I've ever had.”
"Little Lord, with your skills, I want to take you away.”
Empress Zhangsun teased.
Xu Nian chuckled." Mother, if you want to eat, come and find me." You can come every day."
But just as he finished speaking, Xu Nian scratched his head.""Aiya, mother, isn't it bad for you to come and see me every day?”
"That... that person in charge will be unhappy.”
"Forget it, mother. If you want to eat, just tell me. I'll send it to you.”
Xu Nian said.
Empress Zhangsun was amused.
Next to him, Li Junxian was also giggling.
He was afraid that His Majesty, his stepfather, would be angry. However, it was indeed for the sake of the Empress.
After all, in the Great Tang, no husband of a remarried woman would want his wife to visit her original son for no reason.
"I'm fine!"
Empress Zhangsun shook her head with a smile. She looked at the young man's sincere expression and suddenly felt a warm feeling in her heart.
"Little Gong…Nian 'er, I'll call you Nian' er from now on.”
"Anything is fine. Mother, it's up to you. You can call me whatever you like!”Of course, Xu Nian had no objections.
Empress Zhangsun nodded." I'll come often in the future. Yes, I'll bring your sister along."”
"Sure,"
"Mother, if possible, you can bring that person over.”
"I'm very accurate in judging people. Help mother take a look and see if they're reliable.”
Xu Nian said.
Li Junxian inwardly chuckled. If the Emperor knew that this brat was worried about him, he would probably be so angry that he would blow his beard and glare at him.
"Him." Empress Zhangsun thought of Li Shimin leaving with Zhangsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, and Fang Xuanling in the morning and sighed.""He's been a little annoyed recently because of some things.”
"When I have time, I'll bring him over.”
"That's good too." Xu Nian nodded. However, Mother, I don't care about him. If you have any troubles or things that you can't solve, just tell me. I'll give you an idea!”
"Is that so?" "My Nian 'er is so smart." Empress Zhangsun chuckled.”
"Then mother really has something. I heard that no one in the entire imperial court has an idea. I wonder if Nian 'er can do it?”
Empress Zhangsun recalled Li Yuan's matter.
She looked at Xu Nian and her heart skipped a beat.
