Bring the Farm To Wear Chronology

Li Shimin exchanged all the things he brought. He brought calligraphy and paintings by Chu Suiliang, Yan Liben, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, and there were quite a lot of things that could be exchanged.

In addition to these celebrity calligraphy and paintings, Li Shimin also brought some antiques, such as bronzes and porcelains, so they are of good value and there are many things that can be exchanged.

In this way, Li Shimin bought a lot of grain worth tens of thousands of catties, about thirty or forty books, and about a dozen kinds of vegetable seeds that add up to tens of catties.

When the father and son left the shop, these things filled the room.

Fortunately, when Li Shimin found out that the things he bought would fill up the room after he came out, he sent someone to expand the room. Now tens of thousands of catties of grain are piled up here, and it doesn't fill up the room.

Li Shimin ordered people to come over and remove all the food in the house. Food is very important to Li Shimin and the others, even the tens of thousands of catties of food may not be enough to eat.

Li Shimin thought about changing it after a while. Anyway, the store is there, and it seems that there should be a lot of food, so he can change it often. It's not like spending money like gold, silver and copper to buy some calligraphy and painting, especially if the calligraphy and painting belong to his courtiers, then Li Shimin doesn't think food is expensive.

"What did you buy?" When Li Shimin ordered people to move the grain, he also called the palace servants to help him remove the books and seeds he bought. The books he bought about agriculture and breeding were going to be handed over some time. to the person in charge of this.

Li Shimin was quite curious about what his son bought. Li Chengqian actually didn't have much money as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, but he had a lot of paintings and calligraphy by his teacher.

As a prince with countless teachers, his teachers would leave a lot of calligraphy and painting copybooks when they taught him. As long as he exchanged these calligraphy and painting copybooks, he could exchange for many things.

"My boy bought some recipes and a dictionary." Li Chengqian gathered the books in Ju's hand and said to Li Shimin, "My mother doesn't seem to have a good appetite recently, my boy wants to buy some recipes for the people in the dining room to study and study. Let's see if I can make Auntie eat more."

What he said was also true. Empress Changsun did not have a good appetite in the late pregnancy, especially now that it was not a time of extravagance, she could not eat too much, so she ate less.

As a son, Li Chengqian also knew that his mother had a hard pregnancy. When he was shopping, it was not only because he was greedy to try the dishes on the recipes, but he also wanted his mother to eat some delicious food and eat more. In order to be able to give birth to younger brothers and sisters in a healthy and healthy manner.

Li Shimin looked at his son and saw that besides a thick dictionary he had several cookbooks in his hand, so he didn't say anything.

"This dictionary, let me see what it looks like." Li Shimin was quite interested in the dictionary, especially after his son introduced it.

Li Shimin took the dictionary, and then Li Chengqian taught his father while recalling the way Zhang Chengchuan told him to look up the dictionary.

Li Shimin looked at the dictionary while listening to his son's words, looked at it and nodded in satisfaction, "Very good, especially this pinyin, which is very good."

Li Shimin couldn't put it down, but he looked at his son and decided to buy another one when he went to the store next time. This one should be used for his son to study hard.

"Brother, what did you buy this time?" When Li Chengqian followed Li Shimin to the Palace of Lizheng, Li Tai and Li Lizhi both ran to him and asked.

They ate delicious food last time, but this time they don't know what their Aye and Brother got in exchange for. To be honest, they were curious.

"I bought some books." Li Chengqian put down several cookbooks, and the colorful covers immediately attracted the attention of Li Tai and Li Lizhi, but Li Tai focused more on the dictionary.

"New... Hua... dictionary?" Li Tai looked at his elder brother suspiciously. What is this book? What is the content?

"This is a dictionary, similar to "Erya"." Li Chengqian explained as he handed the dictionary to Li Tai.

"Same as "Erya"?" Li Tai became more curious. After taking it and flipping through it, he found that the characters were all missing arms and legs, but when he turned to the back, he found that some characters were similar to theirs. The font is different.

The fonts commonly used in Datang are regular script or official script, but most of them use regular script. The font of "Xinhua Dictionary" is Song typeface.

But this does not affect reading. Li Tai looked at the words on the dictionary and asked in confusion, "Why is this character so small? How did it write it? Even if it is a printed book, can it print such a small character?"

"I don't know, that shop is already amazing, so it's not surprising that there is something strange about these books." Li Chengqian said.

"What are these?" Empress Changsun looked at the recipes brought back by her eldest son and asked him with a smile.

"These are all the recipes that my son changed. My son bought some when he saw that the book cover looked good. According to the clerk's introduction, we can make these recipes here. My son also thought that my mother's appetite is not very good recently, so I bought some of them. I bought some recipes and came over to let the dining room study it." Li Chengqian explained.

"Gao Ming has a heart." Empress Changsun smiled.

"Auntie, this cold cowpea dish looks delicious, shouldn't it be a vegetarian dish?" Li Lizhi asked, pointing to a dish from the recipe.

Because of the frugality of the royal family, it is difficult for the emperor, queen, concubines, princes and princesses to eat meat. Li Lizhi ate meat the last time she went to exchange money, and since then until now Haven't eaten meat for a few days.

It doesn't matter if you don't have meat. The vegetarian dishes on it look delicious. I don't know if I can eat them.

"Aniang, this book contains a lot of tofu recipes. Stir-fried tofu, stuffed tofu, pan-fried tofu, stewed tofu, stewed fish head with tofu, tofu soup, etc. There are so many tofu dishes." Li Lizhi opened a book When I saw that the dishes were all tofu, I enthusiastically shared them with my mother.

The tofu dish was actually not popular in the Tang Dynasty. Even though the tofu recipe has been handed down since the Han Dynasty, few people in the Tang Dynasty knew how to make tofu.

Of course, there must be tofu in the royal family. Recently, everyone doesn’t eat tofu very much. Even if they are thrifty, they don’t eat tofu every day.

"It's recorded here that beans can be made into soy milk, which can be drunk with sugar or salt. Then it can be made into bean curd, which can be made with sugar, but it can also be made salty with other ingredients."

"Wow, is this book the recipe for all kinds of beans?" Li Lizhi said happily, "Aye, Auntie, this book is really amazing. With this book, everyone can eat a variety of things. It’s not enough to support boiled beans.”

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun looked at the book in their daughter's hands, and thought of what she said just now, and felt that what she said made sense.

I originally thought that these recipes were just bought to improve food, but I didn't expect that they could also benefit the common people. Surprisingly, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were very happy.
