Chapter 72(1/2)
Want to eat shit
"My dear friends, please take your time and taste it. I will go to the Li Zheng Palace to let the Queen have a taste."
"After drinking the tea, you can retreat by yourself!"
Li Shimin also knew that the ministers really couldn't let him go when he was here.
As soon as Li Shimin left, the Xiande Hall immediately became lively.
"Smells, it smells so damn good!"
"Good tea. This tea should only be found in heaven. It is not an exaggeration to call it fairy tea!"
"Yes, yes, having this tea as your companion in life is really better than living gods!"
"Come, come, come, raise your cup and take a swig of today's tea!"
Outside the Xiande Hall, Li Shimin smiled and shook his head, walking vigorously towards the Lizheng Hall.
In the Li Zheng Palace, Queen Changsun pursed her lips and snickered after hearing what Li Shimin said.
"As soon as Erlang leaves, aren't you afraid that they will drink until lunch time?"
After listening to Queen Changsun's words, Li Shimin shook his head and said.
"Impossible, how could they drink until lunch time?"
Empress Changsun smiled and said nothing. It turned out that her guess was correct.
Because the manager of the imperial kitchen came to Li Zheng Palace to complain.
"Your Majesty, the Queen, if you continue to boil water for the Xiande Palace, today's lunch in the palace will be postponed."
After hearing this, Li Shimin got up and walked to the Xiande Hall.
Good guy.
Except for Prime Minister Du Xiang and Changsun Wuji, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong and Qin Shubao left.
At least more than 70% of officials are still singing over tea. What is their life like?
Seeing Li Shimin entering the Xiande Hall, the officials calmed down.
"My dear friends, have you had enough?"
"I'm full, I'm full, I'll take my leave!"
The officials also knew that it was getting late.
These teapots and other utensils are all palace utensils, and every palace must be waiting to use them!
After the officials left.
Li Shimin picked up a teapot and poured tea into the teacup.
After just a sip, Li Shimin smiled bitterly and shook his head.
It already tastes like boiled water.
These people were still drinking so enthusiastically.
………
In the manor, Li Gen was having lunch.
The four dogs lay quietly on the ground, waiting for their owner's reward.
After planting the sweet potato seedlings, Li Yuan had people deliver even the meals, and Li Gen temporarily became the polished commander again.
Fortunately, there are four dogs accompanying him.
Suddenly, the four dogs stood up and ran happily towards the door.
Li Gen knew that it was Cheng Chumo coming again.
"Brother Chu Mo, come over for dinner!"
"Well, I knew I would definitely be able to catch up, and it was indeed not too late!"
Cheng Chumo sat down unceremoniously, grabbed a chicken leg, and started to gnaw on it.
Xiaohei was very satisfied with Cheng Chumo's performance and kept rubbing his head on Chumo's thigh.
Because Xiao Hei knows that the bones in the chicken legs are the largest and the most delicious.
Chu Mo finished chewing the chicken legs and gave the bones to Xiao Hei.
Xiao Hei happily picked it up and ran away.
Xiaohua began to rub Chumo's thigh.
Cheng Chumo patted Xiaohua's head, then picked up a chicken leg and started to chew on it.
After repeating this process, Cheng Chumo ate four chicken drumsticks one after another before he was fair and just.
Let the four dogs line up in a row and lie on the ground with satisfaction.
"Brother Chu Mo, the tea shop opened today. How is the effect?"
"Seventh brother, after I finish eating this bowl of meat, I will give you a good talk."
"Eat slowly, this bowl of fat meat was originally prepared for you."
Cheng Chu was silent for a while, and a bowl of meat soon entered his stomach.
"It's so enjoyable, so damn exciting!"
Cheng Chumo patted his belly happily, with a happy smile on his face.
After drinking a cup of hot tea, Cheng Chumo recounted the scene that happened in the East Market tea shop this morning.
Li Gen was also very surprised when he heard that the girls in Pingkangfang were dispatched en masse.
"Seventh brother, I actually have most of the credit here. If I hadn't given Miss Xiangxiang a bag of tea, she might not have been willing to let those women taste it!"
Li Gen smiled and nodded, praising this for a job well done.
Next, Cheng Chumo vividly described the scene in the court hall.
"Brother Chu Mo, my uncle has been of great help this time. Thank you uncle for me."
Cheng Chumo scratched his head and said embarrassedly.
"My dad doesn't have any hobbies. He just likes to eat meat. The fatter the better."
Cheng Chu was dumbfounded and couldn't figure it out.
I also have an iron pot at home, but I just can’t make the taste here.
"Brother Chumo doesn't have to ask for this, seventh brother has already prepared it."
"Seventh brother, there is one more important thing."
Cheng Chumo's expression turned serious.
Li Gen also became slightly nervous.
"Brother Chumo, what happened?"
"Seventh brother, there is a Persian businessman in the West Market, and he wants to use the glass cup he brought to exchange for the tea in our shop."
"Brother Chong and the others all looked very happy. I thought it was better to let you make the decision. So they asked me to come over and ask the seventh brother what he meant."
When Li Gen heard this, the corners of his mouth curved.
He said with a smile: "He's thinking shit, Liu Li Bei wants to exchange our tea leaves. This guy, I'm afraid he hasn't woken up, who cares about that stuff!"
Li Gen's words made Cheng Chumo stupid on the spot.
He stared at Li Gen with his eyes widened.
"Brother Chu Mo, why do you look at people like this? It's quite scary!"
"Seventh brother, do you know how many glazed cups there are in the whole city of Chang'an?"
"Two, only two!"
Cheng Chumo stretched out his two fingers and gestured excitedly.
"One is in the hands of the emperor today, and the other was given to Duke Wei Li Jing by the Supreme Emperor back then."
"This is a priceless treasure!"
Cheng Chumo's excited voice made Li Gen suddenly enlightened.
This era is an era where glass cups are treasured!
Thinking of this, Li Gen excitedly punched Cheng Chumo.
"Brother Chu Mo, here's our chance to make a fortune!"
"Seventh brother, you have figured it out. Take our tea leaves and exchange them for glass cups with the Persian merchant."
"How many cans of tea should I give him?"
