When Li Yu said these words, there was a slight happy smile at the corner of his mouth. Obviously, he felt that his childhood life was very comfortable and made him miss it very much.
This was the same for everyone. Almost everyone would have such a feeling. Childhood was happy and joyful, but after adulthood, there would always be all kinds of depression and troubles.
"That's right. Although Gwangbyeong Of Gojoseon looks fierce on the surface, he also takes care of them. You should know that in many commoners' families, many brothers are also very fierce. They even beat and scold their younger brothers and sisters until they can't get out of bed. However, if outsiders dare to bully their younger brothers and sisters, then as the older brothers and sisters, they will not agree. They will do their best to protect their younger brothers and sisters."
Ang Lee said.
As the old saying goes, teeth and tongues often fight. It was very normal for brothers and sisters in a family to have conflicts. It was common for the older brother and sister to bully the younger brother and sister. There was nothing to make a fuss about. However, under normal circumstances, this kind of bullying was relatively minor and was not a big deal. In times of crisis, a family was still a family and would still help each other.
Many times, the people who bullied others did not deliberately target them. They just wanted to find a sense of existence or to gain more benefits and status for themselves. They wanted to make their brothers and sisters the center of the family. Only in this way could they be satisfied.
Under normal circumstances, the legitimate son of the family or the favored child would more or less bully other brothers and sisters when they had someone to rely on. However, this kind of bullying was limited and depended on the situation. For example, if these people were obedient and could flatter themselves, they would not be bullied too much. However, if they were not obedient, they would be bullied more. In short, in any era, there was no absolute equality. Two children from the same family might receive different treatment. Parents would always be biased, and this was the main reason why some children bullied other children.
When Li Yu heard this, he immediately became excited and said, "Assistant Minister Li is right. When I first saw them when I was young, I didn't know they were my sisters. I thought they were just ordinary palace maids. It was quite pitiful to kneel on the ground and be punished. As for why they were punished, I can't remember. Anyway, they were punished. This prince passed by and felt sorry for them, so I took them away. After asking, I found out that they were actually my concubine-sisters. It really surprised me. "
"And then? Gwangbyeong Of Gojoseon started to take care of them. "
Ang Lee asked.
"Now that I think about it, I did take care of him! I made them follow my lead and listen to me. As long as they listen to me and play with me, I will steal food from the imperial kitchen for them to eat. Haha! "
Li Yu smiled as he spoke.
"Oh, the identity of Gwangbyeong Of Gojoseon is so honorable. It would be enough to just tell the imperial chef. Why would he need to steal? Wouldn't it damage his reputation if word got out?"
Ang Lee asked curiously.
Li Yu replied with a smile, "It's not difficult to get pastries from the imperial chefs. However, if one person eats enough for three people, it will definitely arouse suspicion. If it's reported, it will cause some trouble. It's more interesting to sneak in and get them. This way, you can take as much as you want. Isn't that convenient?"
"Then they must have gone in the middle of the night!"
Ang Lee knew that there were many people in the imperial kitchen during the day. Only in the middle of the night would there be a chance.
Li Yu nodded and said, "Of course. Assistant Minister Li doesn't know that stealing delicacies from the imperial kitchen also requires skill. If one is clumsy, one will definitely be caught. That would be bad. One must be very careful when stealing delicacies from the imperial kitchen even at night. It's just that there aren't many people. Moreover, it's easy to get sleepy at night, so they will laze around and take a nap. However, if there's a big commotion, they will still be awakened. Also, if you make a commotion and are discovered, you must not panic and must hide well. At this time, the people who are supporting you will learn to meow like a cat. In this way, the guards will think that it's the cat who is causing the commotion and won't really search. This trick has been tried and tested time and time again, and has not been discovered even once. It's really too satisfying, too satisfying."
It's so fun. "Li Yu's expression was obviously very happy when he talked about the past. After all, this was the happiest thing in his childhood. Nothing was more memorable than stealing pastries from the imperial kitchen.
"Haha! So Gwangbyeong Of Gojoseon was actually so naughty when he was young. I really couldn't tell! You have already gained experience in stealing pastries. You really haven't been caught even once? "
Ang Lee said with a smile.
"Of course. This prince is very shrewd. Moreover, there are so many pastries in the imperial kitchen. No one will care if there are more or less. They won't count the number every night and check it the next day. If that's the case, these imperial chefs will be exhausted to death."
Li Yu said proudly.
There were too many pastries in the imperial kitchen. It was true that they wouldn't count them. After all, they were just pastries. Some nobles would specially send people to collect supper in the middle of the night. As such, the number of pastries couldn't be counted. The palace had sufficient funds, so there was no need to be so calculative. Even if some of the pastries were found missing, no one would say anything. After all, it was the imperial court's money, not the imperial chefs'. They wouldn't feel the pinch. In addition, if it was reported, the person in charge of the imperial kitchen and the imperial chefs who were on duty at night would be punished. They wouldn't be able to reap any benefits. After all, they couldn't be rewarded greatly for catching a thief! No one would care about such a small matter.
"By the way, when Gwangbyeong Of Gojoseon went to the imperial kitchen to steal pastries, did he wear night clothes?"
Ang Lee asked.
Because he had watched too many television dramas, Ang Lee immediately imagined a young man wearing night clothes sneaking into the imperial kitchen. There was also a young man in black outside supporting him.
"Night clothes? Why would this prince wear night clothes? There are no night clothes in the imperial palace! It's just like what I usually wear! "
Li Yu answered doubtfully.
Ang Lee was slightly surprised when he heard this. It turned out that Li Yu was wearing the imperial grandson's clothes to steal pastries from the imperial kitchen. In this way, even if the imperial chefs found him, they wouldn't dare to question him so as to avoid causing trouble for themselves. Otherwise, if Li Yu was wearing the imperial grandson's clothes to steal pastries so casually, he wouldn't be able to avoid being caught every time. This was too illogical.
"Aiyo! The mutton egg soup is almost done. Please don't let it dry up. "
Ang Lee suddenly smelled a very strong smell. He quickly got up and went to the kitchen.
"Fortunately, fortunately, there's still a lot of soup left. If it dries up, this delicious dish will be wasted."
Ang Lee said happily.
During the boiling process, a lot of mutton soup was added, but the boiling time was too long. The mutton soup would also dry up. Fortunately, it came in time. There was still a lot of mutton soup left. If it dries up, the mutton eggs would be burnt, and then it would be inedible.
Burnt food was poisonous. Whether it was vegetables or meat, they couldn't be eaten. After vegetables were burnt, a large amount of acidic substances would be produced. Just like carbonated drinks such as soda water, it would corrode people's teeth and lead to tooth decay and other diseases. Moreover, the nutrients in vegetables would also be destroyed. Thus, people wouldn't be able to eat any nutrients. It was better not to eat them.
After meat was burnt, the loss of nutrients was even more serious. It would also produce a carcinogenic benzopyrene substance, which caused great harm to the human body.
Therefore, no matter what kind of food it was, if it was burnt, it should never be eaten to avoid causing harm to the body.
"It's overcooked. It looks like there are only two small bowls left. However, this concentrated essence smells good. Why don't we eat it now? Let's split it in half. How about it? "
Lunch had been over for two to four hours. Li Yu's stomach was also a lot empty, so he could still eat some.
"Okay! Let's split it in half. Anyway, there aren't many ingredients in this dish. Come, let's try it. "
Ang Lee said with a smile.
Originally, Li An had planned to let Li Yu bring this delicacy back. However, at this moment, the soup had been simmered and both of their stomachs were empty. As such, it was not impossible for them to eat this nutritious food.
"Well, not bad. The feeling of swallowing it whole is really different!"
Li Yu put the whole mutton egg in his mouth and chewed. His expression was very enjoyable.
Li An gently savored it and also felt that it was a rare delicacy. Although he had eaten it many times, the taste was slightly different every time because the control of the ingredients was slightly different. As a result, the taste would naturally be different.
After eating this tonic, it was estimated that after going back, he didn't even need to eat dinner. Or, he could eat less for dinner.
In winter, the daytime time was very short, so after lunch, they played for at most two hours before going back. Otherwise, it would be dark halfway, and it was not convenient to walk at night after all, especially in snowy weather, it was even more inconvenient on the road.
The guards who went out to hunt came back one after another. Almost every group had a good harvest, but there were only two large prey, and the rest were small animals such as hares. However, it was also a good harvest. Seeing so much harvest, the two girls were the happiest. When they saw the new hares, they all wanted to take them back and raise them. However, Li Yu did not agree. After all, the palace was not a farm. Raising a few hares would not attract attention and it was easier to take care of them. But if they raised a lot of hares, it would be very difficult to take care of them and it would be easy to be discovered. Therefore, Li Yu could not agree to the request of the two girls. Two white hares could be counted as one for each person, and it was enough for them to play with. As for the many live prey caught by the guards, Li Yu and Ang Lee shared it. The two deer belonged to Ang Lee, and the rest of the small animals belonged to Li Yu. After all, the deer were too big and it was not easy to bring them back. Ang Lee lived outside the city and was closer to the mountains and forests.
Even when the group was ready to go back, the heavy snow still showed no signs of stopping. The accumulated snow was a lot more than when they came. The journey back became more difficult, and the speed of the horses became slower. However, Li An had prepared skis, and Li Yu and the two girls had also learned how to ski. Especially when they were going back, they just had to ski directly and let the guards follow them on horseback. If they encountered uphill and dangerous places, then they had to give up on skiing and ride on horseback.
When they arrived at Ang Lee's residence, there was almost no snow on the road. Many people were sweeping the snow on both sides of the road. As the snow fell, they swept a little to ensure that the road was smooth. It could be imagined that in Chang 'an City, there would be no snow on the road that obstructed the way.
After exchanging some pleasantries, Li Yu still didn't stay behind. Instead, he hurriedly brought the two sisters and rushed in the direction of the palace. They wanted to enter the palace before nightfall to avoid unnecessary trouble if they entered the palace too late.
The time of the New Year was getting closer and closer. Every household was actively preparing for the New Year. The streets were also filled with colorful lanterns. The atmosphere of the New Year was getting more and more intense. The festive atmosphere could be seen everywhere.
Even better news came one after another. The R&D Center had solved many difficult problems in a row, allowing the Ten Thousand Miles Telepathy Project to achieve a huge breakthrough. It seemed that it could be completed ahead of time. This made everyone who knew about it very excited.
When Ang Lee received the good news, he stayed by the machine all day long, carefully listening to the ticking sound of the machine. He was so excited that he even forgot to eat.
"Assistant Minister Li, it's time to eat. It's already past lunchtime."
One of his subordinates reminded him out of kindness.
Ang Lee waved his hand and said, "Don't eat, don't eat. What's the point of eating at such a critical time? The Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Project is the most important thing. If this project can be completed as soon as possible, His Majesty will be very happy. All the people of the Tang dynasty will benefit. Don't eat. Continue the test. Thank you for your hard work. "
At this moment, Ang Lee seemed to be possessed. He did not even have the desire to eat because the experiment was close to success. The ticking sound of the telegraph could be heard very clearly. As long as the stability was fixed, the first generation of the telegraph could be considered a success. In this way, the message could be transmitted thousands of miles away in an instant.
Stability was extremely important for any electronic device. Even if there was initial success, if the stability was not good and there were always mistakes, then it could not be considered a success. There had to be no mistakes at all, especially when it came to transmitting important information. If there was a single mistake, then it would be fatal.
Previously, Ang Lee wanted to use 20 letters to arrange the words, but there were too many homophones. It would be troublesome if there was a mistake. Later, after thinking carefully, it was safer to use strokes. Although there were many men, there were only so many strokes. Countless Chinese characters were composed of those fixed strokes.
