"This brother is polite. I'm here to ask what you are eating? It's so fresh. See if you can talk about it later."

When Boss Hu heard this, he laughed, "Young Master Li is polite, just call me Lao Hu."

This thing is called steamed buns. I bought it in a place called Luoxia Town under Zheng County, Huazhou (later Hua County, Shaanxi) to the east. It was invented by a shopkeeper who opened an inn.

You are really keen. This thing is soft and sweet, very delicious, and it is not expensive. It costs three per cent, and it is made of pure white flour. The key is that you don’t think much of this thing, it can handle the problem with the stiff noodles."

Oh? Three articles are really not expensive, but they are so strange? They are delicious and still have to bear the trouble. When Li Zhen heard this, he felt moved.

Boss Hu is also a smart person. He hurriedly took out another one from the bag and handed it over, "If you don't dislike being vulgar, I'll give you a try, and you'll know how to try the facts."

"Oh, this is abrupt. This is your food ration. How can I do it..."

"It's okay, this thing is cheap and affordable, suitable for making dry food on the road. I bought more when I came back this time. I still have a lot of it. Just treat it to you, it's nothing."

Li Zhen was also very happy, not as good as a noble man at all. He took the steamed bun and took it and took a bite. Well? It tasted good and it was really soft.

Soon after a steamed bun was eaten, Li Zhen loved it very much. Boss Hu kept nodding, but he didn't expect that a rich young man could eat the same food with poor people like me. This young man was good.

"Haha, the young master is so approachable. Lao Hu admires it. The steamed bun has been around for two days now and the taste is slightly worse. In fact, it is the most delicious when it is just hot. However, if the cold one is steamed on the steamer, it will be delicious.

I have no knowledge of Lao Hu, but I don’t even have Chang’an City in my memory.”

Hearing this, the young man was even more surprised and had an idea in his mind. He bowed to Boss Hu, which scared the other party to let him go.

"Boss Hu, I have a heartless request. I want to pay for your bag of steamed buns. I wonder if you can give up? Don't worry, I won't let you lose money. This is a tael of silver."

Seeing the other party so generous really surprised Boss Hu, but he shook his head and did not accept the tael of silver. Mr. Li was a little puzzled and was still a little worried. Could it be that the other party was unwilling to give up?

"What's the matter with your son? Although this tael of silver is expensive, Lao Hu dared not forget his conscience. It's just a few steamed buns. If you can respect it, I will leave a few for the children at home to taste it, and I'll give you the rest."

Seeing that the other party was so sincere, Li Zhen could not give in, so he had to accept the ten steamed buns handed over by the other party, and at the same time turned around and winked at the shopkeeper in the fur shop.

"Boss Hu, the valuation has been completed. You are worth one or two taels of silver for you. Is this intact red fox fur the best one you see? It costs five taels of silver for you, a total of six taels of silver? What do you think?" The shopkeeper shouted to Boss Hu.

Boss Hu was overjoyed when he heard the price. He originally thought that he could sell a 4 tael of silver and was so lucky today. "Hehe, Manager Li is really a real person. You have a fair price, how can Lao Hu refuse? That's it."

Boss Hu, who had collected the money, happily said goodbye to the few people.

Seeing that my mother nodded and said that she had chosen, Li Zhen took out the money and handed it over, bowed to the shopkeeper and said, "Thank you for your help just now. I'll help you put these steamed buns on me and take them away. You sew the fur of my mother and send them to the Duke of England's mansion."

Looking at the two of them leaving, Manager Liu said to himself that it was the wife and son of the British Duke General Li Ji. No wonder he was so upbringed. He just didn't know what the young man bought the steamed buns? Who can be regarded as a rich young man?

When Li Zhen returned home, he did not delay and almost trotted all the way to the study to find his father, Li Ji, the British Duke of the Tang Dynasty (also known as Li Ji), whose original name was Xu Shiji, and his courtesy name was Maogong (that is, Xu Maogong, the Taoist military advisor of Wagangzhai in the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties). He was given the surname Li by Li Yuan, the Emperor Gaozu of Tang Dynasty. Later, in order to avoid the name of Emperor Li Shimin, he changed his name to Li Ji.

"Father, Father, I have a good thing here."

A shout came from the study, "What kind of morality is it to be so panicked? I have taught you many times for my father. Men will immediately gain fame and fortune. Do not be greedy for the prosperity and wealth of the world. If you get something good, you will lose your composure? Could it be that you have been with a group of boys all day long and become a playboy in Chang'an?"

Li Zhen was not afraid, but walked in boldly and placed the thing he held in his arms directly on his father Li Ji's desk.

The middle-aged man who was thinking about a military book in front of the bookshelf turned around and said with a serious expression: "Didn't you go with your mother to buy fur goods? Why did you come back so quickly? What is this? You know that you are losing your ambitions all day long. It's really..."

Hum? Before he finished speaking, Li Ji opened the package, which contained a few white noodles, but they were not the noodles.

"What is this?"

"This is the dry food that the child bought with people on the street by chance today. I felt that it might be used as dry food for marching. My father might as well try it." Li Zhen introduced.

What? Marine dry food? "Haha, my son is successful, and he actually knows to contribute to the country. Whether it is successful or not, your intention is to praise you for your father."

As he spoke, Li Ji picked up a steamed bun and took a bite. After tasting it, he realized that it was good, and the taste was excellent. There is definitely nothing to say about making marching dry food, which is much better than the hard bread today.

"Good thing, tell me quickly, where did you get this thing? What are your good ideas?"

Li Zhen told the story all the time, and Li Ji nodded repeatedly when he heard it. This child was good.

"Well, although Father thinks this thing is very good, we should not act recklessly.

Let’s do this. Since you discovered it, you will go to Luoxia Town to find the man who invented the steamed buns to see if he can buy the prescription from him. If he is willing to sell it to the country, then you will make great contributions. Don’t be stingy when talking to others. As long as you can improve military rations, you can’t get any money.”

Li Zhen took the order and left, but Li Ji smiled for a long time. This is also an old fox. It’s not that he doesn’t know the priorities, but that he wants to leave this first merit to his son. With this merit, Li Zhen will be able to show his face in the younger generation, and the emperor will definitely look up to him.

But Li Ji didn't know that on the way out the next day, he met his daily playmate Cheng Chumo, the eldest son of Cheng Yaojin's family. The second generation of officials in the Tang Dynasty was divided into several circles. Among them, the circle of civil officials was Fang Du and Changsun's family, and the circle of military generals was Cheng Yaojin, Qin Shubao, Li Ji, and Yuchi Gong's family. The two groups were not dealing with each other, and there was another group, that was the group of second generations of royal relatives. However, this group was not very united, and these groups were called Chang'an playboys.
