Chapter 123
Li Zhi swallowed his saliva and said, "Brother, this is corn! It smells so good, I want to eat it!"
Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Zhi Nu, you little foodie, be careful to eat as fat as your fourth brother!"
Li Tai's fat face wrinkled into a ball, and he said with a smile: "It's great to be fat when you have a broad heart and a fat body, it's better than being narrow-minded."
Su Cheng was grinding corn while lamenting in his heart. What a harmonious and cheerful atmosphere, it turned into a sword and a sword shadow in a blink of an eye. It was really unlucky.
Li Ke changed the topic: "This corn is really big. This kind of grain produces much larger than sorghum!"
Li Tai exclaimed: "Yes, this is the corn that Su Cheng and Wu Jingshi bet on? The ears of rice are so big!"
Li Chengqian's eyes were bright and praised: "This is corn? The ears of rice are so big, how much is the yield? This is the blessing of the Tang Dynasty and the people! After I go back, I will report to my father and promote corn to the world!"
Su Cheng lowered his head and roasted corn. He rolled his eyes when he heard this. Can I still use you to report to the emperor?
"The corn is roasted, come and try it!" Su Cheng smiled and took one and handed it to Li Zhi before giving it to others.
Corn is stuck on the branches, which looks simple, but the burnt smell of corn is very attractive, which is a fragrance they have never smelled before.
"Yeah, delicious!"
"Not bad, very fragrant!"
"tasty!"
"The corn is delicious, and my brother-in-law's skills are also good!"
Su Cheng also picked up the roasted corn and ate it. The burnt fragrance made him feel very satisfied, as if the memory that had gradually become familiar again.
"What kind of fragrance is this, how can it be so tempting?"
A loud laugh broke the tranquility here, and Li Shimin and Empress Changsun walked side by side.
Everyone hurriedly came to the greeting. Su Cheng couldn't help rolling his eyes. Are they all dog-snubs? They all came with the smell.
"Ha, it's so lively!" Li Shimin looked around and smiled.
Everyone felt different thoughts after hearing this, and most of them felt a little uncomfortable. Needless to say, Li Chengqian and Li Tai came to win over Su Cheng, so they naturally felt a little guilty.
Princess Xiangcheng and Xiao Rui were also a little guilty. After all, it was against etiquette and law to meet privately before Su Cheng and Changle had not yet got married.
Princess Changle was a little shy. When she heard from the sister Xiangcheng said she was going to the garden to visit, she guessed that Su Cheng would be there, so she happily asked her mother for advice, but she did not tell her mother that Su Cheng would go, so she was hit by her father and she was right.
Empress Changsun smiled and said, "It's all her family, so there's no need to be polite. Today I sent a good news that said that Jie Li Khan was captured. His Majesty was very happy, so he wanted to come out for a walk."
"Congratulations to Father, congratulations to Father!" Everyone was overjoyed and congratulated each other in unison.
Li Shimin laughed and said, "In fact, since the Battle of Xiangcheng, the Eastern Turks have been in a slump, and capturing Jie Li Khan is just a icing on the cake. What are you eating? Why have I never seen it?"
Li Zhi said happily: "This is corn, roasted by my brother-in-law. It is sweet and delicious, so delicious!"
Empress Changsun smiled and said, "Is that true?"
Su Cheng quickly picked up two pieces of freshly baked corn and sent it over: "I am doing well in my skills, please try it with Your Majesty and Empress!"
Li Shimin and Empress Changsun took it with great curiosity. Is this the legendary corn?
It's such a big rice ear?
And it smells so good and tastes delicious.
Empress Changsun lightly opened her cherry lips and bit her small bite gracefully. Her eyes lit up and she nodded and praised: "Yes, it tastes delicious!"
Li Shimin looked at the corn in his hand and said in surprise: "The ears of rice are really big, and the grains of rice are also big! It's so good food!"
After saying that, Li Shimin took a big bite and praised it while eating: "Well, the taste is also very good. Su Cheng, your new grain is very good!"
Prince Li Chengqian excitedly said, "Father, this corn is simply a blessing for the Tang Dynasty and the people. Ankangbo made great contributions and promoted the corn. How much more food can the Tang Dynasty collect every year? From now on, the people will no longer be hungry!"
Li Shimin smiled and said with a smile: "Gao Ming is right. Farming and mulberry trees are the foundation of the country. Next year, I must promote corn and Zhenguan rice. After the autumn harvest, Linyi will transport new grain back to the Tang Dynasty as rice seeds..."
Speaking of rice seeds, Li Shimin was suddenly stunned. His eyes widened as he looked at the corn in his hand, and then his eyes fell on Su Cheng, with a murderous aura.
Feeling the murderous aura in Li Shimin's eyes, Su Cheng was very confused. What's wrong? Wasn't he quite happy just now?
Why did he suddenly turn against each other? Su Cheng was very puzzled. He really didn't do anything today, and he didn't even touch Changle's little hand.
Besides, even if you really touch it, what else can you do? The marriage has been given, Changle is his own, so what's wrong with touching his hands?
Empress Changsun also noticed Li Shimin's strangeness and said in confusion: "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
"Su Cheng, you are such a loser!" Li Shimin cursed with spitting.
Su Cheng said with a confused look on his face: "No, why am I losing my family?"
"This is grain planting! Why did you break it down and eat it for you! I will promote the whole world next year!" Li Shimin waved the corn in his hand and wanted to knock a corn on Su Cheng's head on the head, but he was reluctant to let it go.
It’s not that I was reluctant to beat Su Cheng, but that I was reluctant to take the corn in my hand.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and quickly swallowed the corn in their mouths, and had no nerve to continue eating.
Su Cheng was very sensitive to Li Shimin's idea of beating someone, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, take a closer look. The one who eats the most corn is your son and daughter. If you really want to beat someone, please beat them."
Li Chengqian, Li Tai, Princess Yuzhang and others were so amused that Ankangbo's disaster was really unrestrained.
Only Princess Changle nodded slightly, thinking that what Su Cheng said made sense.
Empress Changsun smiled and said, "This is already cooked, and there is no way to do it anymore. Your Majesty will calm down."
Su Cheng nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, it's already ripe and hasn't been sent to make grain."
After saying that, Su Cheng suddenly thought, this is obviously my own corn, whether I eat or not is related to your Li Shimin's affairs?
Of course, Su Cheng dared to fantasize in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out.
Li Shimin looked at the corn in his hand and chewed it. While chewing it, he said regretfully: "What a pity, alas, this is a spendthrift! This is a grain plant."
Su Cheng was very despised. Li Er, you eat more deliciously than anyone else, why do you feel embarrassed to say it?
There were only a dozen corns at first, but I didn’t expect that there was so much mouth, so there wasn’t enough food. Su Cheng forked the last few corns and put them on the fire to roast them.
"Slow down!"
A loud shout suddenly sounded, which scared Su Cheng to tremble.
