Datang Hotel: The Leisurely Life of a Chef Dad

Let’s not talk about whether he learned it or not. The man’s voice just now was like a loud rooster crowing.

The eyes of the people behind and outside the queue became redder, their voices became more urgent, and the stomping of feet continued.

Looking carefully, the people standing outside the door had their hands stuck in their sleeves, crouched, and shivered, as if as long as they shivered fast enough, the cold wind would not invade them.

They drooled uncontrollably, and they didn’t know what was going on. When they heard the three words "hot and sour soup", they couldn’t control it.

Liu Xuan was stunned.

Men, how can you not control yourself?

When the cold wind blew, the sweat that just flowed out of the corners of those people’s mouths quickly dried up, and a strange smell emerged. Compared with the hot and sour soup and egg fried rice floating in the air and the beautiful taste in the Tang Dynasty Restaurant, they instantly became more anxious and jumped anxiously.

"Can you guys in there hurry up?"

"That's right, a full man doesn't know the hunger of a hungry man, we are freezing outside."

"Oh my... this hot and sour soup sounds so good that it makes me drool, I can't stand it..."

The people behind started to urge again.

At this time, in the back kitchen, Da Zhuang and Ya Ya squatted in front of a small table, facing a plate of egg fried rice, and were in a dilemma.

Ya Ya suggested: "Brother Da Zhuang, let's recite a sentence of the Analects and eat a bite?"

Da Zhuang nodded: "This is a good idea. The young master won't let us eat more, there must be more delicious food later, let's save some."

The two began to eat while babbling.

...

In the palace, Empress Changsun and Li Lizhi walked towards the Da'an Palace with lunch boxes and melancholy on their faces.

"Changle, when you see Grandpa Huang later, you must persuade him to eat more."

Empress Changsun sighed. Since His Majesty ascended the throne, the retired emperor has become depressed. He has done nothing in these years. He just keeps giving birth to children, as if he wants to make up for some shortcomings.

When they walked outside Da'an Palace, a burst of angry voices came.

"Get out, I don't eat! I don't like to eat!"

"I never like to eat!"

"I'm not old yet!"

Empress Changsun sighed. Li Yuan called himself "I" in front of anyone. Once he called himself "old man", he was angry and anxious.

"Get out, get out!"

Outside the door, Empress Changsun saw a lot of people, mostly concubines and maids, all of whom were holding lunch boxes and standing outside the door of Da'an Palace, sighing.

"You all go down first."

Empress Changsun spoke, and no matter whether it was concubines or maids, they naturally left first.

As Li Shimin's wife and mother of the country, Empress Changsun never cared about what Li Shimin's concubines did. They must have come here with the consent of His Majesty.

They just wanted to make something delicious for the emperor.

After all, there are always people who make a fuss about the relationship between His Majesty and the emperor.

The emperor has a poor appetite recently, perhaps because he heard the news that His Majesty was going to offer sacrifices to the gods.

Empress Changsun sighed, waited for a while, and then nodded slowly.

Li Lizhi took the lead and walked in, jumping and carrying a lunch box.

Empress Changsun walked behind.

In the main hall of Da'an Palace, Li Yuan was full of melancholy, with his chest exposed. The whole person was like an eggplant hit by frost, wilting.

His face was full of wrinkles, and his many years of political career made him look very old.

"Grandpa Emperor, Changle is here to see you."

Hearing this voice like a yellow oriole, Li Yuan's golden brows were relaxed for a while, and then became deep again because he saw Empress Changsun.

"Changle, come here quickly and let grandpa see if you have grown taller."

Changle smiled and saluted Li Yuan: "Grandpa Emperor, I brought you delicious food, which Changle made by herself."

Changle is not only Li Shimin's favorite daughter, but also very favored by Li Yuan.

However, Li Yuan usually does not say anything about this favor, and others don't know much.

In the final analysis, Li Yuan just hates Li Shimin, but he does not hate his descendants.

"Oh? Changle can cook?"

Li Lizhi blushed: "Grandpa Emperor, you forgot that I also cooked for you last month, and you said it was delicious."

When Li Yuan heard this, his face flushed and he let out a long breath: "Oh, that was Grandpa who forgot, I am too old."

"Changle, you sit here, sit in front of Grandpa."

"Others, please go down first."

This other person, naturally, refers to Empress Changsun.

Empress Changsun's face stiffened for a moment, and she did not speak, and had no choice but to leave.

As long as Li Yuan can eat and live well, it will be beneficial to His Majesty, and it won't be a problem if he makes some trouble.

His Majesty is on guard against the emperor, worried that the emperor's old power will be restored, but isn't the emperor also on guard against His Majesty?

Let Changle stay there. After all, at any time, as long as Changle is present, the emperor and His Majesty seem to have a tacit understanding.

At this time in the Da'an Palace, Li Yuan rubbed Changle's head and said with a smile: "Changle, where have you been this month? Why didn't you come to see grandpa earlier?"

When Li Lizhi heard this, she was stunned. Yes, it was obviously a long time since the beginning of the month. Where did she go before?

After thinking about it, she went to Liu Xuan's place, and her face was covered with red clouds in an instant.

"Grandpa Emperor..."

"It's because you don't eat!"

Li Yuan's beard curled up, and he was no longer sad or depressed. He shook his head repeatedly: "Changle, you don't know how uncomfortable I am, grandpa. Those people's cooking is too bad, or your cooking skills are better."

"This soup is very delicious, and it is much better than their cooking skills."

Li Yuan took a sip of the soup and let out a long breath.

When Li Lizhi heard that it was because of this reason, she suddenly realized, otherwise, take grandpa to Liu Xuan's place?

I'll go there in a while! It just so happens that I haven't seen Liu Xuan for a few days.

I don't know if Liu Xuan has been honest recently, and whether his family has gone to some other strange women.

"Grandpa Huang, if you dislike the bad food in the palace, Changle will find you a good place to go."

"Changle swears to heaven, that place, you will never want to come back after eating."

Li Yuan has seen countless bragging in his life, and he may have boasted more than Changle said.

Hearing Changle say this, he didn't care at all and agreed with a smile: "Okay, okay."

"Since you say that place is so good, grandpa will go with you."

Li Lizhi has not yet realized one thing. If Li Yuan can go out, why must he hide in Da'an Palace every day?

In the past, it was extremely cold and damp in Taiji Palace. Now that he has finally arrived at Da'an Palace, it seems much more comfortable than before.

But there is more sadness in Li Yuan's eyes.

"Grandpa Huang, hurry up and pack up. Changle will take you out now."
