If Li Shimin is still in the palace, then Li Mingda and Li Zhi will be in the palace tonight, but Li Shimin is not in Chang'an today, so Li Mingda, Li Zhi, and Yin Fei are all out of the palace.

Li Ke and Li Yan also entered the palace and stayed with Concubine Yang. Here, Li Ke and Li Yan also lamented the respect of the prince Li Zhi for Concubine Yin, and actually put pressure on Fang Xuanling to use his identity to guarantee that Concubine Yin would leave the palace. Otherwise, according to the ancestral system, Concubine Yin would not leave the palace. However, with the influence of Li Zhi and Li You, Concubine Yin was allowed to leave the palace at 18 pm and return to the palace at 9 am the next day. This was Fang Xuanling's greatest authority.

Concubine Yang was not so lucky, and Li Ke and Li Yan did not have such influence in front of Fang Xuanling.

It was about 15 pm, and Li You's home in Dunhuafang became busy. Many people would come to Li You's home tonight. Among them, Quan Zixi's father Quan Wanji, Xiao Baoer, Xue Rengui, Di Renjie, Su Dingfang, Cui family, Cui Jue, Yansan, Zhang Jing, Qin Shaoyu... These are all people in Li You's family. On New Year's Eve, a day when everyone must stay up to New Year's Eve, how could they not be together?

So at this time, Chunniang had arranged for people to start making tonight's New Year's Eve dinner, including chicken, duck, fish, meat and various seasonal vegetables.

The stove is also full of firepower, frying, stir-frying, cooking, and frying... All cooking methods can be used up. When adults are busy, the children are also running around and playing around at this time.

Li Mingda, Xiao Baoer, Li Zhi, Di Renjie brought Li Heng, Li Jue, and Li Xiang together to play billiards... This billiards were brought back by Li You from Hyundai, and the tables and clubs were made in Dunhuafang. However, the ball was too heavy, so Li You brought two sets. The children liked new things and started playing as soon as they came up.

Next to the children, there was a fruit plate with delicious food, including milk candies, chocolate, canned food, fruit... Chocolate is something that everyone took, and almost all they would be taken as soon as they were on it. Follow Li You again to signal Yueying to get some out.

If it were before, Li You wouldn't always take it because it was not good for the child to eat it. But today is the Chinese New Year, Li You have been a little more tolerant and has taken it four times. Li Heng and Li Jue are two little guys who have eaten enough.

It was almost dark in winter, and at 18 o'clock, it was completely dark. At this time, Yin Fei also came to Dunhuafang. Li You and Li Zhi went to pick him up. However, when Yin Fei was brought over, Yin Fei was the first to hug Li Heng, Li Jue and Li Xiang, and the second one was to hug Quan Zhixi, Xiao Yan, and Cui Xiuniang. Because these three people were pregnant, this was a big happy event. Next year, Li You's child would be born, and then Li You really had roots in the Tang Dynasty.

"Come...Come...Come... We are all my family today, so I have rewards, and the prince gets the biggest one...!" Before eating, Yin Fei took out her red envelope, each with ten golden seeds.

But Yin Fei was still biased towards Li Zhi and gave Li Zhi the largest ten golden seeds. After all, Li Zhi often went to the palace to accompany Yin Fei, and Yin Fei also had the deepest feelings for him.

Li Zhi quickly smiled happily and took Jin Guazi and said, "I knew that my mother loved me the most...!"

"Haha..." Everyone laughed. After the prince took the golden melon seeds, all the juniors came to Yin Fei to ask for the golden melon seeds. Ten pieces per person can get them as long as they are not adults. However, there is an adult, Yin Fei has also prepared, which is Yan San.

But Yan San was not grateful and wanted nothing. Later, he found out that Yan San said he was about to marry a wife. If he took the golden gourd seeds, he would be afraid that he would not be able to marry a wife, so everyone laughed.

Li You also smiled happily, and he followed everyone, and had a New Year's greeting, it was time for dinner.

In the past, the food in the Tang Dynasty was limited, and the cooking method was very simple. Strictly according to time, the New Year’s Eve dinner in the Tang Dynasty should have steamed buns and big cakes, because millet, barley, and wheat were in the north, and rice became the main grain crop in the south. At this time, in northern regions where rice was less grown, the price of rice was much higher than that of corn and flour. Usually only the rich could afford it, which was a luxury in grain.

This means that the main food eaten in Chang'an area can only be steamed buns and big cakes, oh... By the way, Chang'an belongs to the northern region, and the north and south are bounded by the Qinling Mountains and Huaihe River. Xi'an is north of the Qinling Mountains, so it is the north.

However, Li You's arrival has changed the north-south division of grain in advance. Now in Chang'an City, many grain stores have rice for sale, and of course, the price has also been reduced a lot.

Many people can eat a bite during the Chinese New Year, but they don’t know if they are used to it.

Anyway, rice, steamed buns and pancakes are the same on the dining table of Li You’s house, and the dishes on the table are not mainly lamb and venison. There are also some pork, of course, very little pork.

In fact, mutton ruled the dining table for thousands of years, and pork turned over until the Southern Song Dynasty... From the Wei and Jin Dynasties to the Tang and Song Dynasties, mutton ruled the dining table for a long time; wild game was rich, and venison was once a "popular food"

This is mainly because from the Wei and Jin Dynasties to the Tang and Song Dynasties, due to the southward transition of the northern nomadic peoples, the sheep breeding area expanded, and mutton surpassed pork, becoming the main meat food on the Chinese dining table.

Secondly, the taste of pork has not been solved well. However, Li You is already solving it now. The piglets raised by Li You's family now basically cut them, which will taste much less and taste very good when made.

The braised pork made with this pork is the favorite food of Li Mingda, Li Heng, Li Xiang and others. Originally, peacock meat, tiger meat, and fox meat would appear in the New Year’s Eve dinner at Li You’s family... Because during the Tang Dynasty, there were no protected animals, and these wild animals could be slaughtered at will.

An emperor of the Zhou Dynasty could capture more than 5,000 elks, 12 rhinos, and a large number of "rare animals" such as tigers, leopards, and bears in one hunt.

People in the Tang Dynasty liked to eat venison, especially deer tails and deer tongues, which were famous dishes for serving wine.

But Li You was a little resistant, so there was very few such wild game on the dining table of Li You's family. Of course, the most indispensable part of the New Year's Eve dinner in the Tang Dynasty was fish sashimi, that is, sashimi. Because the people of the Tang Dynasty loved to eat sashimi, they also gave a summary, which was the second best for crucian carp, bream, bream, bream, and perch...!

To put it bluntly, the island country has really perfectly inherited some of the inheritance of the Tang Dynasty and has also carried it forward. Li You consumed a total of 1 fat duck, 3 vegetable ducks, 3 fat chickens, 7 vegetable chickens, 3 pig elbows, 2 pig belly, 8 small belly, 15 chickens, 25 kilograms of wild boars, 5 Guandong gooses, 20 kilograms of mutton, 15 kilograms of venison, 6 pheasants, 20 kilograms of fish, 4 deer tails, 3 pig intestines each of them.

Hehe...very rich.
