Little Sizi came to my house and became the family's darling, and Li Shimin got anxious.

Li Yinxun suggested, "Brother-in-law, after we return to the palace, we can tell Physician Sun Simiao to prescribe traditional Chinese medicine based on the data from this physical examination."

Li Shimin nodded solemnly: "I've got it."

Li Yinxun carefully considered her words, "There are too many members of the Li family clan. It's impossible to bring them all to the modern world for a physical examination at once. It would be too much of a commotion and unrealistic. My idea is to rotate one or two princes and princesses for examinations each year. They will pay out of pocket and not be covered by medical insurance. We will create simple medical records at the hospital to avoid trouble as much as possible."

Empress Zhangsun nodded slightly: "That's very good. Proceed step by step, without attracting attention."

Li Shimin also thought it was appropriate, "Let's do as Yin Xun said. After I return to the palace, I will make a list and arrange the order."

Li Yinxun stood up. "Alright, now that we've finished talking about business, let's have a proper celebration today."

Everyone is in good health, isn't that worth having a nice meal?

"What do you want to eat?" Li Yuan immediately perked up and jumped up from the sofa.

"Eating hot pot at home, no need to go out. The existing kitchen utensils and ingredients are enough. If you need anything, just place an order on your phone and have it delivered. It's very convenient."

As she spoke, she went into the kitchen and took out a large copper pot from the cabinet.

"Considering that you have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high blood sugar, as well as other health issues, let's skip the spicy hot pot base and have a tomato hot pot base with a mushroom broth base instead. It's sweet, sour, and savory, suitable for all ages."

The broth base packet was opened and poured into the pot. The pot was plugged in and the stove was turned on. The red and white tomato and mushroom soup began to bubble and simmer, and the rich aroma quickly filled the entire room.

Li Yuan stood by the table, looking at the table full of fresh side dishes, his face blank.

Thinly sliced ​​beef rolls, handmade shrimp paste, soft tofu, fresh mushrooms, vibrant green vegetables...

"These...are raw? How are we supposed to eat them?"

Li Lizhi explained with a smile, "Grandpa, this is similar to the hot pot in our Tang Dynasty. You just put the ingredients into the soup and cook them until they are done, but the soup base in later generations is more flavorful and the ingredients are more abundant."

Li Yuan, smelling the enticing aroma, rubbed his hands together and waited, frequently peeking into the pot.

On the other side, the little princess skipped out of the bathroom, raised her two little hands high, and approached Li Yinxun.

"Auntie, I've washed my hands!"

Li Yinxun carefully inspected it, then nodded with a smile: "Yes, it's very clean. Little princess, you're great."

The little girl happily withdrew her hand, scurried up to her high chair, and stared longingly at the bubbling tomato soup in the pot.

A room full of people sat waiting for the meal to start.

Li Yinxun: "There are two dipping sauces. Everyone can choose according to their own taste. This one is sesame paste, peanut crumbs, and fermented bean curd flavor; this one is sesame oil and minced garlic flavor."

I put the dipping sauce on the table, and then prepared an extra large bowl of sesame sauce and placed it in front of the little princess.

She knows this girl's tastes all too well.

While waiting for the ingredients to cook, the little princess couldn't resist the temptation. She secretly picked up her chopsticks, dipped them in the sesame sauce, and took a sip. Her little eyes immediately narrowed into crescent moons.

"Okay, seven..."

"The beef is in the pot," Li Yinxun said, picking up a thin slice of beef with her chopsticks and swishing it in the boiling broth for seven or eight seconds until it changed color. "The beef only needs to be cooked for half a minute; it won't taste good if it gets tough."

The little princess immediately chose to dip the beef in sesame sauce, and her eyes lit up instantly.

"More, Auntie wants more."

The little princess chewed her meat heartily, urging him on in a muffled voice.

Li Yinxun smiled and added three or five more slices to her plate, while also adding a few pieces of tender tofu and shrimp paste to Chengyang's bowl.

Chengyang eats more politely, but the slices of meat in his bowl are still piled up like a small mountain.

The two little girls were having a competition, eating bowl after bowl, but they wouldn't touch the vegetables at all.

"Have some vegetables." Li Yin picked up a piece of chrysanthemum greens from the little princess's bowl.

The little princess quietly pushed the chrysanthemum greens aside and picked up a slice of beef.

Li Yinxun: "..."

She turned to look at Chengyang, who was also quietly pushing the rapeseed to the edge of the bowl.

"You can't be a picky eater."

The two little girls looked at each other, each taking a bite of the vegetable leaf with a pitiful expression, chewing with great difficulty.

Everyone at the table couldn't help but laugh.

As they were enjoying their meal, Li Yuan chewed on a piece of beef and suddenly asked curiously, "Yin Xun, in the Tang Dynasty, cattle are the main force for plowing the fields, and it is illegal to slaughter them privately."

Empress Zhangsun explained in detail: "Father, in later generations, large-scale livestock farming was implemented, and there are special breeds of beef cattle, which are specifically for human consumption and are different from draft cattle. Therefore, the supply of beef is abundant, and ordinary families can afford to eat it."

Li Yuan suddenly realized.

Li Yinxun joked, "Speaking of eating beef, does Grandpa know Cheng Yaojin?"

"Zhijie? What happened to him?"

"There's a joke from later generations that says Cheng Yaojin's cows would die suddenly every few days, and then he would naturally stew the beef and eat it."

Li Yuan was taken aback, then burst into laughter.

Li Shimin's lips curled up, his eyes filled with nostalgia. "That scoundrel, I always told him that his cow died under suspicious circumstances. Every time I visited his residence, there was always beef on the table, and he swore that the cow had fallen to its death on its own."

Li Yinxun laughed along: "That's why later generations say that none of Cheng Yaojin's oxen died of old age."

After Li Shimin finished laughing, he said seriously, "After returning to the palace, I will definitely buy a cow and specially invite Zhijie to eat it."

Everyone laughed.

Li Yinxun picked up her phone and waved it.

"By the way, this is called mobile food delivery, and there's also online shopping. I've already linked your bank cards to your phones. If you want to buy something, just tap on your phone, and it will be delivered right to your door. You can shop without leaving home."

Li Yuan's eyes lit up. "My phone works too?"

"Of course, Ah Weng's card has the highest credit limit."

Li Yuan nodded in satisfaction and began to plan what rare and unusual items he could buy.

Li Lizhi couldn't contain her joy either, "I've had my eye on a few things for a while now..."

Empress Zhangsun looked at her daughter and suddenly seemed a little dazed.

The Li Lizhi in her memory was a dignified and reserved legitimate princess in the deep palace, with every gesture and movement governed by propriety.

The girl in front of me is vibrant, carefree, and relaxed.

This is how her daughter should be.

The atmosphere at the banquet was harmonious, and even Wan Cui and Lu Luo, who were accompanying the guests, gradually relaxed and chatted with each other.

Dinner ended, the pot was empty, and the side dishes were all gone.

Everyone felt relieved and relaxed.

She slept exceptionally well that night. The little princess had played with Chengyang all day and was so tired that she fell into a deep sleep before Li Yinxun could even finish her bath.

Li Yinxun turned off the main light, leaving only the bedside nightlight, and started chatting with Guo Qian.

Guo Qian and his brother run an agricultural product storage and wholesale business. He is the one who handles most of the work, such as connecting with customers and managing resources.

He was gone for several days, and with the manpower shortage, both receiving and shipping goods were delayed.

Last month, a batch of fruit was delayed because the owner was out of town and couldn't come back in time. There was no one to supervise the loading and unloading, so the fruit was stored in the warehouse for two extra days and most of it rotted, resulting in a loss of nearly 100,000 yuan.

This line of work relies on connections and experience; hiring someone on short notice is simply not going to work, and clients won't accept it.

Guo Qian's younger brother is meticulous in his work, but not good at socializing. He can't function without Guo Qian.

This is a business that Guo Qian and his brother built up together, and they can't bear to give it up.

Guo Qian is leaving now to deal with this matter.
