"Is Li Xiao here?"
Zhu Gaochi swallowed his saliva, narrowed his eyes and shouted.
The little head looked around to see where the scent was coming from.
Then he saw a young man working beside a brazier with his sleeves rolled up.
"Which one?"
Li Xiao turned around and saw a big fat man.
He looks extremely kind, with narrowed eyes and a smile.
This man has a chubby figure, and his python robe and uniform are so stretched out.
A person's name immediately appeared in Li Xiao's mind: Zhu Gaochi.
Although he only served as emperor for one year, he was called Ming Renzong by later generations as the eternal Mingjun.
Li Xiao hurriedly raised his hands and asked, "Is this the Crown Prince Gao Chi?"
"Hehehe...it smells so good..."
Zhu Gaochi ran over on tiptoe and took small steps, staring at the mutton skewers non-stop, "It's me, it's me, I'm Ningyun's eldest brother."
"Nice to meet you."
It turns out that he is really his brother-in-law, just as the history books said, he feels very approachable... Li Xiaoxin said.
"These are mutton kebabs. They are some of the delicacies I studied. They are not worthy of being tasted in a dignified manner."
"I know about mutton skewers...but why is this smell so special..."
Zhu Gaochi took a deep breath of the aroma, then closed his eyes and savored it carefully.
In addition to cumin and Sichuan peppercorns....it seems to have a peculiar taste.
He muttered in his heart that he had never eaten anything good before, and this was the first time he saw such strange-tasting mutton skewers.
Li Xiao smiled slightly and understood Zhu Gaochi's doubts.
The aroma he couldn't guess was the aroma of chili noodles, because chili peppers were only introduced to the Ming Dynasty in the late Ming Dynasty and are not available now.
"Can I have a taste?"
Zhu Gaochi couldn't wait.
"Of course, but...it's not cooked yet, please wait a moment."
Li Xiao continued to flip the mutton skewers and applied a layer of oil with a small brush. The mutton skewers were sizzling and steaming...
"Ah, right."
Zhu Gaochi shook the gifts in his hand and said with a smile: "Master Li, these are good things. It's the first time you and I meet. I express my sincere gratitude."
He came today not only to ask Li Xiao to help him with his minor physical problems.
In addition, Mrs. Zhang turned a deaf ear and said that she wanted to have a good relationship with Li Xiao...
"This...this is impossible."
Li Xiao quickly refused: "Why is this so embarrassing?"
Logically speaking, he wanted to marry his sister.
Shouldn't I give my uncle a red envelope myself?
But the current situation is indeed a bit complicated... The Crown Prince of Prince Yan's Mansion is not allowed to come and disturb him at will. Shouldn't he be regarded as ignorant of etiquette?
"What can't be done? It won't be long before we are all a family."
Zhu Gaochi pushed the gift over again and said with a smile:
"These are all good things, including century-old wild ginseng from Changbai Mountain, deer antlers, and cordyceps..."
"Take it to replenish your health. Just don't refuse."
"As your sister-in-law has repeatedly warned me, I won't be able to explain to Madam when I go back."
In fact, Zhu Gaochi didn't know what to give, so it was a gift prepared by his wife Zhang.
It can't be too bad, and of course it can't be too expensive, so I sent these supplements.
"this...."
Li Xiao felt warm in his heart.
This uncle is so kind. He gave me these good things as soon as we met!
You know, I was in the countryside a year ago and only ate two meals a day.
If you have nothing to do, you can make do with wild vegetables. There is no oil or water in the vegetables all year round...
"Then Li Xiao, respect is worse than obeying orders."
Li Xiao bowed slightly, then took the gift and sent it back to the house.
After thinking about it... Li Xiao took out something from his arms and planned to give it to this enthusiastic uncle.
In a humane society, courtesy should be reciprocated...
Li Xiao admits that he is not an unreasonable idiot.
"Your Majesty, I don't have anything good, so I'll just take this as a return gift. It's not something valuable, so you must accept it."
Li Xiao stuffed a gift box into Zhu Gaochi's hand.
In fact, it's not a good thing, it's just a zippo lighter.
These are some of the things Li Xiao bought in the points mall these days.
These days, all Li Xiao writes are messy things.
[Item warehouse: true love forever couple ring, toothbrush*1, black toothpaste*2, Sprite*2, Haidilao hot pot base*2, human albumin (small bottle), zippo lighter*1, ergonomic chair, Bluetooth Speaker, switch battery life version, syringe, amoxicillin*3. 】
Most of the stuff that comes out these days is of little use.
Without electricity, electronic products are just decorations.
I bought 2 of these handmade zippo lighters and gave one to my uncle, which was just right.
Although he can't use it, it's nice to have it in his hand and play with it.
"Thanks then."
Zhu Gaochi happily accepted the gift and said to himself that Li Xiao was a pretty good person.
He didn't open it, stuffed it into his chest, and sat on the stool brought by the servants. "Hurry, hurry, hurry...this kebab is going to burn."
"Thank you for reminding me."
When Li Xiao saw it, he quickly ran over and continued to flip the skewers. His uncle came, so he grilled more.
At this moment.
Zhu Ningyun also came over with Xiao Cui.
The two of them would come here at this time every day, Li Xiao would prepare fresh food, and then the two of them would start practicing calligraphy.
"I've met brother."
Zhu Ningyun saw Zhu Gaochi and smiled happily: "Brother, why do you have the leisure to come here today?"
Zhu Gaochi saw that his sister was now generous and had really come out completely. Seeing that his sister was doing well, he was in a good mood and said:
"I'm here to thank Li Xiao on behalf of the concubine. Li Xiao prescribed the medicine to the concubine some time ago. After the concubine took the medicine, the concubine improved greatly and stopped coughing."
Li Xiao turned over the skewers and said, "Little things, little things."
Hearing this, Zhu Ningyun was also extremely happy. He glanced at Li Xiao and said, "Xiaolang, you actually cured my mother's illness. I don't know how to thank you..."
Li Xiao chuckled and said: "You have already pledged yourself to me, and you and I are mine. Do you still need to be grateful?"
"Oh...big brother is still here."
Zhu Ningyun blushed slightly, kicked her feet and spat.
This Li Xiao is good at everything, but...he expresses his love without paying attention to the occasion...
She was happy and annoyed at the same time.
Zhu Gaochi was also slightly stunned. This future brother-in-law... really didn't treat him as an outsider.
"By the way, brother, aren't you often in poor health? Why don't you let Li Xiao take a look?"
Zhu Ningyun quickly changed the topic.
Zhu Gaochi said: "Actually...I came here this time because my mother and concubine asked me to come to see if Li Xiao can also help me look at this disease."
Hearing this, Zhu Ningyun looked at Li Xiao with a pleading look in his eyes.
"I'll give it a try...but let's make it clear first that the diseases I can treat are relatively limited..."
This is also true.
As long as amoxicillin can't cure a disease, Li Xiao most likely won't be able to do anything about it.
"Your Majesty, please tell me about your problem?" Li Xiao asked.
Zhu Gaochi said truthfully: "I just get out of breath after walking a few steps. Sometimes I get dizzy, have a headache, blurry eyes, can't breathe, sometimes my joints hurt... I also often suffer from insomnia... How old am I?" , I started to have insomnia..."
When Li Xiao heard this, he knew what was going on.
This is high blood pressure plus fatty liver.
There is also gout caused by a high-purine diet, and it is estimated that uric acid is also a bit high.
This was a rare disease in ancient times when people didn't have enough to eat...that is, the disease of wealth.
"The meat skewers are ready!"
As the grilled skewers rang out, Li Xiao put it on the table.
Just as Zhu Gaochi was about to take it, he was blocked by Li Xiao, who said, "Your Majesty, I'm very aware of your illness. You must never eat these greasy things again!"
Zhu Gaoxu was slightly startled. Isn't this the same as what those doctors said?
"Even if I am sick and in pain, I am still allowed to finish this bite first."
Zhu Gaochi, like a bad wolf, grabbed several skewers and stuffed them into his mouth.
"Um..."
His eyes suddenly lit up: "It smells so good!"
