Datang: Longevity for Thousands of Years, Exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chapter 136 I can’t believe it, it’s pork!
I can't help it.

Hugging the tiny little Sizi tightly again, Li Shimin felt that he would have no complaints even if he went against the whole world for this little guy.

This treasure is Li Shimin's lifelong treasure.

Anyone who bullies our precious daughter Xiao Sizi will at least get a slap in the face!

This loving scene between father and daughter was seen by Empress Changsun and Princess Changle behind them, and they couldn't help but smile.

….….…….……

Keep walking along the way.

Finally arrived at the dining place.

The place where people at Wangyun Inn eat is in a side courtyard.

But the old man still arranged a room for him.

Although no other meals were specially prepared, Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun were of noble status after all, as they were the ruler and queen of a country.

The others also have prominent identities.

If we continue to eat with servants, it would seem that Wangyun Inn does not know etiquette.

Everyone sat down.

Soon, servants from Wangyun Inn came in carrying bowls and chopsticks.

Put them on the table one by one.

The old man smiled and knocked on the edge of a pot with his hand.

"Your Majesty, Queen, and everyone else, you all came so suddenly. We haven't had any distinguished guests here for a long time, and we couldn't find so many plates all at once."

"How about... just have a meal like this for now? There are some cooked dishes in this pot. We can each have a bowl, which will be enough to fill our stomachs."

The old man stood up, stirred the food in the pot with a spoon, and said with a smile.

The heat is steaming.

The fragrance is everywhere!

Li Shimin sniffed it hard, nodded quickly, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, no problem, I'll leave it to you, old man."

"Your Majesty, please bring your bowl here first," said the old man.

Li Shimin quickly took the bowl over and used two large spoons to fill the empty bowl.

Meat, vegetables, soup.

This bowl has everything.

Li Shimin carefully brought it over, then picked up a large pancake, and felt his stomach rumbling.

Although the food was simple, when he was on the march and fighting, sometimes the food he ate was even worse than this. It was good enough to have meat, so Li Shimin did not find it unusual.

This taste...
Even though the food looks a bit plain and crude, it tastes really good.

Li Shimin couldn't help but salivate.

Think about the meals in the palace. Although each one looks better than the other, none of them are as delicious as this one.

The taste is definitely far worse!

Empress Changsun, Zhangsun Wuji and others also had full bowls.

Especially the glutton Cheng Yaojin, who kept compacting the rice he had scooped up, so that one bowl of rice was almost as much as two bowls of rice from others.

"Eat, everyone. If it's not enough, add more. I have already told the kitchen to keep making more, so there is still plenty in the kitchen."

The old man also served himself a bowl.

He picked up a large pancake, tore off some pieces, soaked them in the soup, and started eating them in big mouthfuls.

Li Shimin couldn't help it either, so he picked up a big piece of food with chopsticks and ate it in one gulp.

Baji, Baji….
The mouth moves.

The soup was flowing.

The pancake also imitated the old man's actions, put it in the bowl, dipped it in the soup, and then took a big bite.

This taste is amazing!

For a moment, the room was filled with the sound of "slurping" of soup.

No one speaks.

Because I don’t have time to talk.

The mouth is full of food.

“Hiss….Huh…”

Li Shimin uttered a sound of satisfaction.

How long has it been?

He had already finished half of the full bowl of rice.

"Old man, what kind of meat is this? It smells so good!"

"The whole thing is fat but not greasy, and the lean meat is also delicious, so delicious! Mixed with the soup, it really makes my soul tremble!"

Li Shimin rubbed his stomach and took another big bite of meat while talking.

Mouth full of oil.

"Yes, old man. I have been to many places in my life and eaten a lot of good food. I have eaten almost all kinds of meat in the world, such as sheep from the Turkic side, venison from the Tibetan side, and even bear meat."

"But... I've never eaten such delicious meat before. It's so delicious! It tastes better than any other meat!"

Changsun Wuji took a big mouthful of soup, looked up at the old man, and asked with great curiosity.

This meat is really different.

He could tell that he had never eaten it before!

"Yes, old man, this meat is hard to resist. Even if you are full, you can't help but want to eat one more bite. May I ask... what kind of meat is this?"

Empress Changsun also asked with a smile.

"It's delicious! This bowl of rice has meat, vegetables, soup, and a big pancake. It's much better than those so-called delicacies from land and sea!"

Wei Zheng finished the pancake in his hand, and while talking, he picked up another one.

"This meat seems a little strange." Du Ruhui smacked his lips and said, "It's more delicious than any other meat I've ever eaten, even more delicious than mutton."

Cheng Yaojin was standing nearby, and while the others were talking, he added another big spoonful for himself.

You guys discuss it, I'll just eat it.

He had this mentality.

the other side.

Little Sizi and Princess Changle were eating with great joy, not even bothering to raise their heads.

The old man wiped his mouth, patted his belly, and said happily: "This meat is actually very common. It is pork."

He didn't hide anything and said it directly.

"Your Majesty, since it tastes good, please eat more. This meat is not valuable in our Chu Palace."

The old man picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup.

After eating, have a cup of tea.

These days are indeed much more comfortable than when he was living in the deep mountains and forests.

Following His Highness to Chang'an was indeed the right decision.

There are also books on medicine and feng shui.

With the books left by His Highness, his own skills have improved a lot compared to before, and gradually he has developed the systematic understanding that His Highness mentioned.

That's wonderful.

The old man was still immersed in the happiness of being well fed and well drunk.

but…….
Bangta!

The chopsticks in Li Shimin's hand fell directly to the ground.

He stared at the old man in a daze, his eyes bigger than copper bells and his eyeballs seemed about to burst out.

His eyes were horrified.

incredible.

Not only him, but also Empress Changsun, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and Cheng Yaojin were all stunned.

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

There was a slight tremor between his brows.

Even Princess Changle raised her head and stopped chewing all of a sudden.

In the whole room,

Only the cute little Sizi was still eating happily there.

They were somewhat at a loss and found it difficult to accept.

What is this meat!?

Is this... pork?

What I just ate was... pork? ?
This...how is this possible!

Pork, why does it taste like this!

How could it smell so good?
The pork smells stinky!

Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Besides, where is this place?
This is the Prince of Chu’s Palace, this is the Wangyun Inn!
Tell me, Wangyun Inn is a food restaurant, and everyone in it eats pork?
My mother!

How could they accept this?

pork?

They have never eaten it in their lives!

This thing is considered cheap meat in the eyes of ordinary people, the kind of meat that is unacceptable.

Now, tell me, this is pork?

Just now, you ate by yourself... and you were so happy?
Boom!

Everyone's head felt like it was getting bigger, their mind was blank, and they even felt their stomach churning.

Even Empress Changsun's face turned a little pale.

Not to mention the faces of Li Shimin and others.

Scholars like Du Ruhui and Zhangsun Wuji have always despised pork.

Normally, I wouldn't even look at it.

He criticized pork even more severely, but who would have thought that today he would actually eat...eat...this pork!

"Old man, you are...are you kidding me? This joke is not funny."

Li Shimin's throat became a little tight, and his voice became a bit like a eunuch's.

Even though there was a smile on his face.

But...it's uglier than crying.

However, the old man smiled.

Smiling happily.

"Your Majesty, aren't you looking for Xiao Qin's good stuff? In fact, this thing is also a treasure."

"Why, you are all like this?"

The old man smiled happily.

When he looked at Li Shimin, Zhangsun Wuji, Cheng Yaojin and other so-called emperors and dukes, his faces turned the color of liver, like children who had successfully played a prank.

The old man was speechless about their frequent visits to Wangyun Inn.

You come here every day to steal things from Wangyun Inn, so this time it’s time for you to enjoy yourself.

This feels really bad, right?
The old man couldn't help but laugh again.

hiss….
ah….
After hearing this, Li Shimin's body began to tremble violently again.

damn it!
damn it!
damn it!
How could this be a treasure!
Who doesn’t know about pork?
Even the common people know that this is the cheapest meat in the world, but the people in Wangyun Inn...actually, everyone eats this thing.

Li Shimin licked his lips.

Although the meat is a bit fragrant, I still want to eat it.

What the hell!

Li Shimin quickly shook his head, picked up the glass of water and drank it in one gulp, trying to suppress this very dangerous thought.

What do you mean you still want to eat?
Do you have any future?

Do you still like eating pork so much now?

Gudong….
Li Shimin swallowed.

He put down the teacup, pointed at the meat in the pot with a trembling finger, and said in a trembling voice: "This... this, old sir, this meat, Master Qin... Master Qin also eats it?"

The old man nodded and said casually, "Your Majesty, this is natural."

"It was Xiao Qin who got us started eating this pork. Xiao Qin said that there is no other meat in the world that tastes better than this."

"Mutton is good, but eating too much of it can make you get irritated. As for chicken, duck, and fish, these meats are good to eat occasionally, but if you eat them too often, you'll feel sick. Only this pork is so fragrant! Pure!"

"Moreover, they also said that it is extremely nutritious and is a rare heaven-sent good meat. If we don't eat it, it would be such a pity and a waste of heaven's gift!"

The old man laughed.

Li Shimin's eyes were still a little heavy.

Zhangsun Wuji, Cheng Yaojin, Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng all had bitter faces and were a little bit unable to accept it.

The reputation of pork over the centuries can be said to be terrible.

cheap!
One word says it all.

But now….
I ate it myself...
One mistake and eternal regret!
They are in tears!

No one expected that Wangyun Inn would serve pork to guests!
"Oh, I'm so full, but Sizi still wants to eat. Old man, give Sizi another bowl. Sizi wants that white meat, lots and lots of white meat!"

Little Sizi held the bowl and stared at the fat in the pot.

White meat.

This is a nickname that children usually give to fat meat.

Because fat has no fiber, and tastes very fragrant and oily, it is very popular among children.

"Okay, okay, eat more, little Sizi. You'll be cute if you're plump and white. Then you'll grow taller. When His Highness comes back and sees that you haven't lost weight, he'll feel more at ease and won't feel more guilty."

The old man stood up with a smile and helped Xiao Sizi to serve another big bowl.

This made Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun feel their scalps tingling and their eyes twitching.

Princess Changle was standing nearby and wanted to stop him, but looking at Xiao Sizi's eager eyes, she didn't know what to say.

Children don’t know the concept of pork.

Little Sizi seems to be addicted.

The meal was extremely enjoyable.

Cheng Yaojin pursed his lips and held the second pancake, which he had just taken two bites of, tightly in his hand.

The little Sizi ate it so deliciously.

He couldn't help swallowing.

This meat... apart from historical prejudices, tastes really good.

what!
wrong!

Is this really pork?

impossible!

Pork is fishy and smelly, so it is called cheap meat, but the meat in this pot...
Cheng Yaojin's eyes lit up and he looked at the old man.

"Old man, what you said is not right, is it? Are you lying to us? Pork is smelly and fishy, ​​but this meat is fragrant and glutinous, and tastes many times better than pork. You...you must be lying to us, right?"

Cheng Yaojin retorted.

I have to say that although he is a rough guy, he is meticulous and good at finding blind spots.

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of Li Shimin, Zhangsun Wuji, Empress Zhangsun, Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui all lit up.

What the hell!

Yup!

This Nima...
What does pork taste like? Although they have never eaten it, the book records it in great detail!
Moreover, they had all seen pigs and had heard a lot about what pork tasted like.

But this meat tastes delicious!

Come to think of it, it’s definitely not pork!
Li Shimin's eyes lit up and he said loudly, "That's right, old sir, this is definitely not pork, don't lie to me."

Li Shimin was excited.

"Yes, yes, we all know the taste of pork, but this meat... No, it's not, absolutely not!" Du Ruhui shouted.

"Hahaha, old sir, are you mad because of our arrival today, so you wanted to trick us? Now, we have seen through you, right?" Changsun Wuji roared.

The old man sighed.

This group of people really have the ability to comfort themselves.

Awesome! That's awesome!
It's really impossible not to admire the old man.

He stood up, stirred the pot with a spoon, and then scooped out something.

A pig's trotter.

He put it in Li Shimin's bowl.
