"Oh, it's so good, so good, but no, I don't want to ride in the carriage, I can't bend down..." Xiao Changle covered his round belly, with happiness mixed with pain, and his expression was extremely tangled.
Princess Xiangcheng said angrily: "Why do you eat so much at once? It's more than what you usually eat in a day. Brother Rui, do you have any good ideas? Please help me."
Xiao Rui couldn't help laughing and bent over, "I wanted to take you to experience life, but it's better now. Who dares to believe that you are a princess? How can a princess not have enough to eat? It's better now, the carriage can't even get on. If you want, No, let’s walk slowly and eat something.”
"Ah? Big brother, is there a faster way? I feel like my belly is about to burst." Xiao Changle was frightened and cried.
Xiao Rui rubbed his chin and shook his head: "The fastest way is to throw you into the water, such as the small lake where you fell into the water. Just swim around. Next to this is the Bahe River. No……"
"Brother Rui, it's winter now and the river is frozen. If I throw my little girl into the lake, will she still survive?" Xiangcheng was so frightened that he grabbed the little girl.
Xiao Rui laughed loudly, "Can I really throw her into the river? To scare her, don't eat so much next time. Your stomach won't burst. Let's walk slowly and it will be fine in a while. .”
"That's it. Then I'll just take my little sister back. Brother Rui, you're busy at the construction site, so don't delay you." Princess Xiangcheng advised Xiao Rui to go back.
Xiao Rui held Chang Le with one hand and held Xiangcheng's hand with the other, "Fool, it's snowing today and most of the work has stopped. I'll take you back. I haven't been back for a long time. I'll take a look at it."
"Really? Are you going back with us?" Xiangcheng was surprised and clenched his hands tighter.
"Brother, how long will it take for my little belly to heal?" Xiao Changle asked with a bitter face.
"Don't be anxious. After dinner, you can walk a hundred steps and live to be ninety-nine. You follow me and walk slowly." Xiao Rui pulled Chang Le and walked very slowly.
Walk a hundred steps after a meal and live to be ninety-nine?
Xiao Changle's eyes lit up, he broke away his big hand, and was about to walk away by himself. Xiao Rui held him back, "I knew something would happen to you without me watching you. You must not walk too fast after a meal, otherwise, your belly will be It will really burst. Let’s live ninety-nine again in the next life.”
"Ah? Walking like this is slower than the little turtle raised in the imperial garden. How long will it take to walk?" Xiao Changle was very worried, time passed so slowly.
Xiangcheng couldn't help but chuckle, "I'll give you a memory so you don't eat so much in the future."
"Sister, are you blaming me too? I'm not the eldest brother yet. His big pot dish is so delicious. I know I'm full, but I just can't help it." Chang Le defended.
"Hahahaha, then you come here more often, there will be delicious food here every day." Xiao Rui joked.
Xiangcheng said dissatisfiedly: "Please don't cause trouble. My little sister is half like this because you have led her astray."
Speaking of eating every day, Xiao Changle seemed to have forgotten the pain of abdominal distension. He squinted his eyes and said longingly: "When I get back, I will ask my father to make a pot of that size and use a shovel as a spoon. It’s fun to think about.”
Fun? ? ?
"No, no, it's delicious! Hehe, let Father try it too. It turns out that the cooking in the imperial kitchen is not delicious because the pot used is too small. Hehe, I'm smart, I thought of it right away."
Xiao Rui and his wife slapped their foreheads at the same time, thinking to themselves, my little sister is going to change the royal dining room in the palace into a big pot of food!
After about half an hour of dispersion, Xiao Changle finally recovered. The three of them took a carriage and slowly headed towards Chang'an City.
The Bahe construction site is not far from Chang'an, but it snows heavily in winter and the road is difficult to walk. The princess and her party set out in the morning and arrived near noon. The return trip in the afternoon took longer. When we arrived at Chang'an City, it was already evening and the sky was getting dark.
"Oh... why are you hungry again so soon?" Xiao Changle, who woke up in the car at the gate of the city, stretched and touched his belly. Why did he lose weight after just sleeping?
Xiangcheng reprimanded: "You eat so much at noon and you still get hungry so quickly at night, you! Don't eat anymore."
"Sister, you will starve to death if you don't eat." Xiao Changle pretended to be aggrieved.
Xiao Rui smiled and rubbed Xiao Changle's head, "Let's go, I will take you to the West Market Restaurant for delicious food tonight."
"Really? That's great. My father took me to my eldest brother's restaurant once. It was delicious. But my father was very busy and didn't go there again. My sister has no money and can't afford to eat..." Xiao Changle's eyes shone.
Xiangcheng said anxiously: "Brother Rui, you..."
"It's okay, Xiangcheng. The restaurants serve only one plate, and the portion is very small. Let's just watch it, we won't be full."
Xiao Rui asked the rest of his subordinates and everyone in the imperial dining room to go back to the palace first, and he personally drove the carriage to the Western Market with the two women.
It's strange. I haven't been to Chang'an for a few months. Why do I feel that the population of Chang'an has increased? Even the West Market seems crowded. Is there still so many people now in the evening? Xiao Rui suddenly thought, by the way, the New Year should be coming soon, and many people who were looking for a living in other places came back to celebrate the New Year.
"Aren't you going to the Zuixianlou next door? Why are you here, Cyclamen? Brother, did you not bring any money?" Xiao Changle was very puzzled when he got off the car and saw the plaque.
Xiao Rui praised: "Okay, little girl, you know a lot of characters. You can recognize the plaques of both families. There are too many people at Zuixian Tower, and even the streets are blocked. This one is pretty good, there are not many people, and it's a good place to eat." No need to queue.”
Xiao Changle pursed his lips in dissatisfaction, "We agreed to take me to eat delicious food. Everyone thinks Zuixianlou is the best in Chang'an City. Brother, you are lying."
Xiao Rui handed the carriage to the waiter to park in the backyard. He turned around and picked up the muttering little Changle, pulled Xiangcheng and walked into the second floor of Cyclamen.
On the second floor, there are seats separated by one-meter-high wooden boards. In the middle of the seats is a low table with cushions on both sides. Each seat can seat up to six people. You can play chess, drink tea, drink or eat. Behind it is a one-meter-high thick wooden board, which makes the environment relatively quiet.
The waiter came over to tell us the names of the dishes, and he did not forget to introduce: "Dear guests, although our shop is not famous, the food is nothing to say. Our chef learned the craftsmanship from Zuixianlou next door, and from the one over there. What’s the taste?”
"Liar, Zuixianlou is the only one in Chang'an."
"Okay, waiter, you are a smart businessman. You rely on Zuixianlou and imitate their dishes, so you don't have to worry about business not being prosperous. I've been here before, just serve the dishes according to the order, and I will reward you with more." Xiao Rui After throwing away a silver coin, the waiter happily took it and quickly went to pass the dishes.
Xiangcheng said worriedly: "Brother Rui, this restaurant is clearly doing this on purpose. They are trying to steal business from you, but you don't care? Their food prices are cheaper than Zuixianlou. If all the customers come here to eat in the future..."
