Shop of All Worlds: The First Customer Princess Jinyang

Chapter 41 The Tang Dynasty's Way of Eating

Little Sizi looked at Ye Jiangnan with pitiful eyes, as if Ye Jiangnan didn't give her food.

"Little Nengjun, but I want to do it again!"

Little Sizi said coquettishly.

Her childish voice made Ye Jiangnan helpless.

"How about this, I'll put the instant noodles in your bowl."

"I'll serve the noodles to you, you eat it bit by bit."

"If you can't finish it, the rest will be given to your Uncle Cheng."

Xiao Sizi thought about it and said with a happy smile:

"it is good!"

Anyway, as long as he can eat the delicious noodles, Xiao Sizi didn’t consider anything else.

Xiao Sizi had no objection, but Cheng Yaojin refused.

"My God, this won't work!"

"How can I eat Princess Jinyang's food?"

"If Your Majesty were to eat like this, I, Old Cheng, would never refuse, but Princess Jinyang is a princess after all... I..."

If Cheng Yaojin wanted to eat the leftovers from Li Shimin, he would not refuse.

This has happened before when we were conquering the world.

But little Sizi is different.

She is a princess, how can I just eat what she can't finish?

It's not about whether it's dirty or not, or whether it's different between men and women. It's against the rules and etiquette.

After hearing what Cheng Yaojin said, Ye Jiangnan also found something wrong.

He looked at the problem from the perspective of a modern person and completely ignored the perspective of Cheng Yaojin, the ancient man.

"Okay, okay, I'll find a way to deal with what Xiao Sizi can't finish later."

Ye Jiangnan interrupted Cheng Yaojin.

He wouldn't eat instant noodles anyway, so if Xiao Sizi couldn't finish it, he could just throw it away.

This instant noodle is not cheap for Cheng Yaojin and others, but it is not worth much to Ye Jiangnan.

After Ye Jiangnan finished speaking, he snapped his fingers, and a bowl and a pair of chopsticks appeared on the coffee table.

"It's ready to eat."

Ye Jiangnan said.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yaojin opened the instant noodles first.

The covered instant noodles are not that fragrant.

Now that Cheng Yaojin has opened it, the fragrance becomes much stronger.

Little Sizi no longer buried his head in Ye Jiangnan's arms. He sat on Ye Jiangnan's thighs and turned around.

As soon as I turned around, I saw Cheng Yaojin scooping up a large piece of noodles with a fork.

The golden instant noodles were steaming hot, with small pieces of red chili sauce on top.

Little Sizi was drooling at the sight.

"Little Neng-jun, I want this!"

"I want this!"

Xiao Sizi urged Ye Jiangnan to open it quickly.

So delicious!
Seeing Cheng Yaojin put the dough into his mouth in one bite, the "smacking" sound stimulated Xiao Sizi.

"Don't be impatient, good things are worth waiting for."

"and……"

Ye Jiangnan said this and glanced at Cheng Yaojin over there.

"Ouch! It's so hot!"

Cheng Yaojin opened his mouth wide and exhaled continuously.

"Hahaha……"

After a long while, Cheng Yaojin blew the instant noodles in his mouth to cool them down.

Ye Jiangnan continued:

"Besides, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and good food is never too late."

“Otherwise, you’ll be like your uncle Cheng, lying down.”

Xiao Sizi also saw Cheng Yaojin being scalded, and she kept staring at Cheng Yaojin.

"The Sizi has arrived!"

The little girl is also obedient.

She didn't urge Ye Jiangnan to hurry up. She moved her eyes away from Cheng Yaojin and watched Ye Jiangnan open the instant noodles.

Ye Jiangnan opened the instant noodles and picked them out with chopsticks.

As soon as he picked up the noodles, little Sizi couldn't wait to reach for the bowl.

Ye Jiangnan pushed the bowl aside and avoided Xiao Sizi's chubby hand.

"Well???"

Little Sizi's hand was empty, and he looked at Ye Jiangnan blankly. Before Little Sizi could ask, Ye Jiangnan explained:

"Wait a minute, I'll put you down first."

Ye Jiangnan said this as he put Xiao Sizi down from his thigh.

It’s okay for Little Sizi to sit on his lap and eat, but it’s a little inconvenient.

After putting down the ball of meat in his arms, Ye Jiangnan pushed the bowl in front of Xiao Sizi.

"Okay, let's eat."

Ye Jiangnan said.

"Then I'll start!"

Little Sizi raised his chopsticks and shouted happily.

As soon as he finished speaking, he buried his chubby face in the bowl.

Ye Jiangnan: “…”

"This girl!"

Seeing Xiao Sizi like this, Ye Jiangnan lifted Xiao Sizi up.

"Don't eat like this, or you'll choke again."

Ye Jiangnan said.

"Well... what should Sizi do next?"

Little Sizi asked.

In the blink of an eye, little Sizi's pink face was already stained with oil.

Little Sizi was unaware of this and just looked at Ye Jiangnan in a silly and cute way.

"Look at your Uncle Cheng..."

Ye Jiangnan was just about to tell Xiao Sizi to eat like Cheng Yaojin.

But when he looked over, he found that Cheng Yaojin's way of eating was too exaggerated, so he stopped talking.

Cheng Yaojin was seen holding a bucket of instant noodles and burying his head in the bucket. The chopsticks in his hand were swinging quickly and a "humming" sound was making from his mouth.

Ye Jiangnan: “…”

Is this how people in the Tang Dynasty eat?
First it was Xiao Sizi, and now it’s Cheng Yaojin too.

Could it be...

This is the characteristic of Datang! ?
"What's wrong, Uncle Cheng?"

Little Sizi looked at Cheng Yaojin.

Ye Jiangnan quickly stretched out his hand to cover Xiao Sizi's eyes, coughed lightly and said:
"Nothing, nothing, Sizi, eat slowly."

"Oh……"

Little Sizi responded and lowered his head to continue showing off his instant noodles.

……

Datang.

Ganlu Temple.

"My three beloved ministers, have you not thought of this yet?"

Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wuji and the other two who were in deep thought and asked.

Almost an hour has passed, and judging from the sky outside, it's almost night.

I couldn’t think of anything else, and it was already dark that day.

Changsun Wuji shook his head, indicating that he couldn't think of it.

The same is true for Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui.

"Your Majesty, I think the Lanting Preface is the most appropriate."

Fang Xuanling said.

Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui nodded in agreement.

They thought of many things, such as pearls, gold, jade ruyi, etc., but they all felt that something was still missing.

Li Shimin was in a state of uncertainty and could not make up his mind, so he looked at Empress Changsun who was standing beside him.

"Guanyin maid, what do you think?"

Empress Changsun heard this and hesitated for a moment before saying:
"Your Majesty, the Lanting Preface is certainly good, but it is a rare treasure left to the world by the calligrapher Wang Xizhi."

"If I take it to the immortals to exchange, it can be regarded as showing the magnanimity of our Tang Dynasty."

Empress Changsun actually agreed to exchange Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Preface".

There is nothing we can do. It’s His Majesty’s fault that he is so poor.

There are very few valuable things in the inner treasury, the only one being the "Lanting Preface".

Li Shimin was silent.

He didn't speak, and neither did the other people present.

After a long while, Li Shimin waved his hands tiredly and said:

"You guys go down first, I'll think about it alone."

Everyone exchanged glances and finally left Ganlu Hall, leaving only Li Shimin inside.
