    When Empress Changsun and others came back, they gave some fruits to the concubines in each palace. Of course, the treatment was only available to the concubines of the imperial concubine, Zhaoyi, Zhaorong, etc., which were not available to Jieyu.

    Of course, concubines who have given birth to children are allowed to have children, but those are the fruits that Queen Changsun, as the eldest mother-in-law, gave to her concubines and concubines, not to those concubines.

    Queen Changsun didn¡¯t buy much fruit this time. After giving it to the concubines and princes and princesses, they didn¡¯t have much here, but it was enough for their family of five to eat for a while.

    Queen Changsun thought for a while and planned to go to the store to buy some tomorrow, and then ask Li Shimin to give them to the princes and officials who had contributed to the Tang Dynasty.

    It can¡¯t be enjoyed by the royal family, but the officials didn¡¯t enjoy these fresh fruits, right?

    However, when Empress Changsun and her son went to the store to buy things, Li Shimin asked the people in the kitchen to cook corn, roast sweet potatoes, and stew lamb chops with potatoes, and invited these heroes to have a meal together.

    Li Shimin asked the people in the dining room to cook this meal using the recipe that Li Chengqian bought before, using three ingredients: corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes. Li Shimin planned to make these officials eat well and then let them serve it.  Promote it carefully.

    Although he had just bought seeds in the Tang Dynasty for him and the Queen's Zhuangzi to plant during spring plowing, but if you want to eat them, can't you still buy fresh ones from the store?  Li Shimin would not wait until their potatoes and sweet potatoes were grown before tasting them.

    Li Shimin and the others had already eaten boiled corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes before. Now it was time for the royal chefs in the dining room to show off their skills in making these ingredients delicious and into more dishes.

    So today¡¯s dish includes assorted corn kernels. Of course there is no ham sausage in Datang, and there is no ham either, but there is air-dried meat.  So the chef in the dining room used dried meat cut into cubes, carrots cut into cubes, and peas stir-fried.

    The pork ribs for corn braised pork ribs were bought from the store. At this time, the nobles regarded pork as cheap meat.  Even though the technology of raising pigs appeared in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, it was not widely spread, and most of our pigs had never been slaughtered.

    ?Then there are corn dishes such as corn roasting, roasted corn, boiled corn and so on.

    ?Then there are potatoes, stewed lamb chops with potatoes, spicy and sour shredded potatoes, fried potato cakes, braised potatoes, etc. Then sweet potatoes are roasted sweet potatoes, stewed pork vermicelli, mutton stewed vermicelli, etc.

    This meal was really sumptuous. However, most of these princes worked with Li Shimin, so they were not very restrained. They ate so boldly that they even forgot to ask what the ingredients were.

    The two big bosses, Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong, were so hungry that they couldn't even lift their heads. However, the civil servants such as Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling were much more gentle and did not look as rough and heroic as these two.

    Qin Qiong and Li Jing are Confucian generals, and their appearance is also very polite. They are also different from Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong.

    "Your Majesty, what kind of day is it today that you treat us to such a sumptuous meal? This is so delicious." Cheng Yaojin finally had time to ask Li Shimin when he was about seven or eight full.

    The cooking skills of the royal chefs are very good, and with the recipes and seasonings, the food they cook tastes very good.

    Cheng Yaojin really didn¡¯t expect that these foods, most of which were cooked in similar ways to the boiled, stewed, and steamed foods they had eaten before, could be so delicious.

    "What kind of dish is this? It's very soft and glutinous, and you feel full after eating too much." Li Jing asked while eating. As generals who march and fight, they attach great importance to food.

    The foods in front of you are all delicious, and potatoes and corn are very filling. Roasted sweet potatoes are also very delicious, and they are also very filling.

    "Hahaha" Li Shimin smiled in a good mood, "This is a good thing I got not long ago."

    Li Shimin asked someone to bring the raw corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes, and then introduced to the others, "This is corn. It is the assorted corn kernels and the ingredients for roasting and roasting corn. It tastes very good."

    "And this corn has a sweet taste. If you put a large pot of corn in water and cook it, not only will the corn be delicious, but the soup in which the corn is cooked will also be sweet. There is no need to add salt or sugar, and the water in which the corn is boiled will be sweet.  It tastes very good." Li Shimin said with a smile.

    When he just bought corn, he asked the people in the kitchen to cook the corn. After a pot of more than ten or twenty corns was cooked, he distributed the corn to the children, and then gave the children corn soup to drink.He does not intend to compete with the people for profit, but of course he can take out these things that the common people cannot do and let the clan or his queen manage them. Li Shimin is really not a pedantic emperor.

    He may not compete for the interests of the people for the sake of the people, but it does not mean that he will not consider his own interests without competing for the interests of the people.

    Li Shimin chatted with his subordinates for a long time, and when Li Jing, Changsun Wuji and others left, they not only had enough to eat and drink, but also brought various ways to make tofu that Li Shimin distributed to them.

    Li Shimin left behind the methods of extracting oil from soybeans and making soy sauce and bean paste from soybeans, and then gave all the methods of sprouting bean sprouts, soybean paste, and other methods to others, and he said that these things need to be made with a small profit but quick turnover.  They are not allowed to raise prices.

    Li Shimin wanted to let the common people live a good life through the hands of these aristocratic families, not to give the aristocratic families a way to exploit the common people even more harshly.

    Li Shimin also came from a noble family, so of course he knew what these noble families were like.  But now that he is the emperor and no longer the son of a family, he sees the interests of the entire Tang Dynasty, not the interests of the family.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
