Chapter 181 Egg Custard and Family
After solving Li Jing's problem, Li Yuanba came back to see Liu Nier having breakfast, but she had no appetite.
Li Yuanba said:
"Let's eat later, I will make something delicious for Sister Ni'er this time!" Li Yuanba snapped his fingers and said with a flash of inspiration.
Seeing that Liu Nier had a bad appetite, he knew a lot about the light and unique dishes, but he couldn't make them now because of the complicated ones. However, he thought of a food he often gave when he was a child in his previous life, which was both simple and easy to cook and very delicious. Liu Nier absolutely liked it.
"Sanlang, do you still know how to cook?" Liu Ni'er looked fussy and looked at the magical Sanlang curiously, and looked at Li Yuanba with suspicion. Obviously, she didn't believe Li Yuanba's words.
"I don't believe it, right? I'll do it for you now!" Li Yuanba couldn't stand others' doubts about him the most, so he rolled up his sleeves and asked the servants to prepare the materials and utensils.
After a while, a stove was carried in with a pot on the stove. At the same time, what Li Yuanba wanted to use was also ready. He picked up a large basin and beat a lot of eggs in one breath. Then he opened it with chopsticks, put twice the warm water in it, added salt and stirred it, and sprinkled some chopped green onion on it. After the water in the pot boiled, he put the eggs on it and steamed it. After more than ten minutes, Li Yuanba asked someone to take the basin down, cut the eggs into small squares with chopsticks, then poured some vinegar and drizzled it with sesame oil. A bowl of steamed eggs with a salty, fresh and tender taste was made.
Although the steamed eggs are simple, they are sour, salty, delicious and extremely smooth. When Li Yuanba celebrated his birthday in his previous life, his family would steam a large bowl for him, so he was very impressed.
Originally, this way of eating was very ordinary in later generations. It was estimated that some people in the Tang Dynasty would eat it like this. However, last time he asked Wen'er to order steamed eggs for himself when he cooked a midnight snack, but Wen'er couldn't do it. For this reason, Li Yuanba also asked many chefs in the mansion, but no one had heard of this method. It was probably that this method had not spread in the Guanzhong area of the Tang Dynasty.
"Well~, it smells so good. Just smelling this smell makes people drool!" Liu Ni'er sucked her small nose and looked at Li Yuanba with a greedy face.
Li Yuanba was not in a hurry. After the temperature was not too hot, he brought a small bowl to Liu Nier and asked with a proud look: "Sister Nier, please try the delicious food made by Sanlang?"
Liu Ni'er had been unable to wait any longer. She first tasted it gently, and immediately her appetite was stimulated by the sour, salty and delicious taste. Her eyes lit up and ate all the eggs in the bowl, then held up the small bowl and said, "Sanlang, Ni'er wants it!"
Li Yuanba laughed and hurriedly added another bowl to Liu Nier. Li Yuanba had already expected this situation, so he used this big bowl. With Liu Nier's belly, he would definitely not finish it.
Li Yuanba was not full, and his appetite had been adjusted by the steamed eggs. So he served a bowl of it for himself, and was about to eat it, but suddenly he heard a familiar voice behind him say.
"Sanlang, what other delicacies have you made here? The aroma is so attractive that my father can't help but want to taste it."
As soon as he heard this title, he knew that Li Yuan was coming. Li Yuanba hurriedly turned around and salute.
Li Yuan was discussing things with Li Yuanba, but when he heard that Li Yuanba was having dinner with Liu Nier, he walked over and was curious. He smelled an appetite-inducing fragrance more than ten steps away, so he asked this question.
"Uncle Li, this is the egg steamed by Sanlang for Liu Nier. You should try it soon, it's delicious!" Before Li Yuanba could speak, Liu Nier held a bowl and raised a spoonful of steamed eggs for Li Yuan to taste. This little girl is both sensible and can please adults. No wonder she likes everyone when she sees it.
Seeing that Liu Nier was so sensible, Li Yuan had already smiled on his face. Now, let alone Liu Nier feeds delicious steamed eggs, he probably could swallow even a spoonful of mud.
"Well, it's delicious. The little eggs can be made so smooth, fresh and salty, which is unexpected!" Li Yuan praised loudly after taking a bite, but then his face changed, as if he had thought of something, and immediately said to Li Yuanba, "Yuanba, your mother has never had an appetite when she was sick. This steamed egg is so delicious that she can make her appetite. You immediately teach the method of making this thing to the palace and make it tomorrow!"
Li Yuanba was startled by Old Li's rapid change of face, but he didn't expect that he had thought of Empress Dou, so he immediately said: "Yes! My son obeyed the order!"
"Uncle Li, don't have to be so troublesome. The method of steaming eggs is very simple. I learned it after reading it just now. I'll just make it for my aunt tomorrow!" Liu Ni'er thoughtful and knew that she had to find a way to please her two future parents-in-law at this time.
"Okay, okay! Ni'er's filial piety is commendable, and she is very pleased for her father!" Li Yuan couldn't help but feel comforted and praised her when she saw her future daughter-in-law was so sensible.
Finally, Li Yuan walked to Li Yuanba, looked at his son who was almost as tall as himself, patted his shoulder with great satisfaction, and said earnestly: "Sanlang, you are very good at Yang Guang's affairs. Not only are you satisfied with your father, but almost all the ministers who came to participate praised him. You have finally grown up!"
"Grandpa thanks for your praise. This is all because of your teaching. You are good at teaching me. Only by setting an example in front of your ministers can you have the opportunity to give me advice." Although it is a bit stingy, this future emperor father must not stop flattering.
"Hahaha~ Although I know it's a flattery, I like her very much." Li Yuan's face was not as thick as he was. It was even more rare to joke with Li Yuanba. However, after a while, he said, "Your mother sent someone just now. I hope you can see her more. Since you left the mansion, you rarely go back and spend more time with her. When you were ignorant before, it was thanks to her shit and peeing that made you stretch out."
"My son remembers the teachings of grandpa!" Li Yuanba felt aroused. At this time, Li Yuan was truly like a father rather than an emperor. A few gentle words made Li Yuanba's nose sour. His father in his previous life and Li Yuan in front of him had already faintly overlapped.
"Haha, don't act like these little daughters!" Li Yuan patted Li Yuanba's shoulder a few more times, then reached out to grab the steamed eggs from Li Yuanba's hand, and took a few bites and served a bowl in person, and then Shiran took people away...
"Sanlang, you should go and see your aunt more. She treated you much better than other brothers before."
Because Li Yuanba was traveling through time, he was afraid that others would find his own problems, so once he left the Tang Duke Mansion, he rarely went back.
