Tang Dynasty：Live with princess Changele, Li Er is going crazy - Chapter 15

Chapter 15: Purple is more in line with the temperament of the mother-in-law!

I couldn’t conceal it, so Xiao Ran spoke truthfully, “This is pig meat!”

Sure enough!

Princess Changle’s expression changed instantly upon hearing it was pork. Suddenly, sweet and sour pork ribs lost their appeal. People in this era disdain pork deeply.

In the Tang Dynasty, pork was highly unpopular and believed to cause health issues if consumed excessively. Additionally, the cooking techniques and poor pork quality made it inedible.

Li Lizhi frowned, almost wanting to spit it out.

“Your Highness, although this is pork, it’s completely different from Tang Dynasty pork. This is pork from over a thousand years in the future,” Xiao Ran explained, having tasted it himself.

“But…it’s still pork!” Influenced by the environment, Princess Li Lizhi was resistant to pork.

“Other details don’t matter; it just needs to be delicious, right?” Xiao Ran continued, “Nowadays, pork isn’t gamy. Pork will be the primary meat product over a thousand years from now.”

Li Lizhi thought for a moment and agreed, “It seems so!”

“Just think of it as lamb!”

“Why didn’t you say it was lamb earlier?” Li Lizhi asked.

“I can’t lie to you!” Xiao Ran said. He thought lying to royalty is taboo in this era.

Xiao Ran added, “Fish-flavored shredded pork is also pork.”

Li Lizhi was surprised, “Why does it taste different?”

“That’s modern cooking technology. The type of meat doesn’t matter. The focus is on being delicious and healthy,” Xiao Ran explained.

Li Lizhi nodded, “I think what you said makes sense!”

Li Lizhi continued to enjoy the sweet and sour pork ribs with satisfaction. Though she still harbored some resentment, knowing it was pork from over a thousand years later made her feel more at ease.

Li Lizhi realized that fish-flavored shredded pork and sweet and sour pork ribs were delicious, contrary to what others had described about pork.

Having never tasted Tang Dynasty pork, Li Lizhi couldn’t differentiate.

Gradually, Li Lizhi accepted it. After eating, Xiao Ran took out a set of white thermal underwear.

“Your Highness, the weather is cold. You should use this,” he suggested.

Li Lizhi accepted the clothes suspiciously, asking, “What is this?”

“Clothes! In our era, these are winter undergarments with excellent insulation,” Xiao Ran explained.

Li Lizhi felt the material and exclaimed, “It’s soft and comfortable!”

“It fits well. Try it on,” Xiao Ran suggested.

“Did you give it to me?” Li Lizhi wondered about the price but found the thermal underwear precious and much needed.

“Of course! Try it quickly. If it doesn’t fit, we can exchange it,” Xiao Ran assured her.

Li Lizhi shook her head, “I’m not afraid of the cold. Give this to my mother. She is frail and often ill, and she feels cold.”

Li Lizhi was sincere in her request. Xiao Ran pulled out a purple thermal underwear set, saying, “I’ve prepared one for the Empress too!”

Xiao Ran thought purple suited the Empress’s temperament, even though he hadn’t seen her and relied on Li Lizhi’s imagination.

“Xiao Ran, how much money should I give you?” Li Lizhi was both surprised and happy, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Xiao Ran replied, “In our relationship, talking about money feels inappropriate.” In his mind, he thought, “Maybe gold would be more suitable!”
