Chapter 2 Report back to the young master, Zhuangzi caught two thieves
After Zhao Mu finished speaking, the guard did not go out immediately. Instead, he scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Master, we have done as you requested.
However, the two of them said that they were not beggars, but businessmen from Chang'an.
Because my car broke down on the road, I happened to pass by here, so I wanted to come in and ask for a glass of hot water.
From the looks of their clothes, my subordinates don’t think they look like beggars, so I came to ask the young master to decide!”
"Since they are not beggars but guests, let them come in!"
"It's the young master!"
At this moment, dozens of guards outside Zhuangzi had surrounded the two of them.
It's just that the two of them didn't change their expressions and looked at everything in front of them quietly.
It’s as if everything is under your control!
"master?"
"No problem!"
At this moment, the Zhuangzi guards surrounding the two of them did not know their true identities.
The identities of the two of them are none other than the current emperor, Li Shimin.
And the other one was none other than the current prime minister, Changsun Wuji.
In the morning, the two of them dressed in casual clothes and left the imperial city, wanting to go outside and take a look in person.
However, after walking just over 40 miles, the carriage broke down and the place was deserted. The two had to get off the carriage to search for it.
By chance, I came to Zhaojiazhuang.
Along the way, we passed several Zhuangzi, but there was no smell of fireworks, and some Zhuangzi were completely deserted.
However, only when I came to this Zhaojiazhuang, this Zhuangzi, not only was it filled with smoke, but everyone also had a smile on their face.
Seeing this, as an emperor, he couldn't help but be full of curiosity, and even wanted to go forward and take a look.
However, due to their behavior, the two of them were regarded as thieves and were directly arrested by Zhuangzi's guards.
And his title of Li Er was given on horseback. What kind of storms and waves have he not seen?
There are more than 10 of them alone, and they don't care at all.
"Okay, okay, let's go back.
You two, my young master said, since you two are not beggars, it’s just a misunderstanding and you are guests, so please come in!"
Under the leadership of the guards, the two people came to Zhuangzi one after another.
However, after entering Zhuangzi and walking only a few ten meters, the two of them were immediately shocked.
I saw several children on the side, feeding the birds with food.
"Sir, look, those children, what are they doing?"
Li Er stopped and looked up.
I saw children in the distance scattering handfuls of corn on the ground.
The birds that had landed on the branches landed on the ground one after another and began to eat.
"You two, those are the children from our village. They are feeding the birds. It's nothing to make a fuss about. Okay, you two, please come with me!"
Li Er couldn't help but cursed angrily in his heart.
It’s really a crime. Nowadays, many people don’t have enough to eat, but they feed the birds with food?
However, this kind of thing is a private matter, and I have no right to interfere.
He had no choice but to follow the guard to the restaurant, open the door and walk in.
The moment they entered, they felt a warm breeze blowing against their faces, stepping on the snow on their feet. The two of them quietly looked at everything in front of them.
I saw two young people sitting on the table in the front, eating and drinking.
"Master, we have already brought you here."
"Okay, you go down first, you two, please come over!"
Upon hearing Zhao Mu's call, the two walked over, came to Zhao Mu, and bowed.
"Thanks to this young master, the two of us are businessmen in Chang'an.
Passing by the treasure land, there was a problem with the wheel, so I had no choice but to come to Zhuangzi for help.
I hope you’ll forgive me for disturbing the young master!”
"It doesn't matter, who doesn't have something special to do when you go out?
I will arrange manpower to help you two and repair your car later, so don’t worry."
"Thank you, sir!"
Just as they were about to speak, their stomachs rumbled.
Hearing this sound, Zhao Mu burst out laughing!
"You two, haven't you eaten yet?
It just so happens that at noon today, I have prepared a lot of food, so you two can eat together."
In fact, as early as the two of them arrived at the restaurant, the fragrance had already reached their noses.
However, this is not in the palace, where you can eat whatever you want.
Sometimes, you still need to be reserved.
Hearing what Zhao Mu said, the two of them smiled!
"Then there's Mr. Lao!"
"Master, I'll get them both bowls and chopsticks."
The bowls and chopsticks were brought over and placed in front of the two of them.
"You two, you're welcome, please!"
"This young master please!"
Changsun Wuji was not polite and took the lead in picking up a few bites of green vegetables, put them in a bowl, and started eating.
While eating, I exclaimed, how delicious it is.
Seeing this, Li Er also moved his chopsticks and started eating.
While eating green vegetables that I have never seen before, I also eat beef.
However, as they were eating, a strange feeling emerged in the minds of the two of them.
"Sir, this meat seems familiar to us. It seems like we have eaten it somewhere before. It looks like beef."
Zhao Mu laughed when he heard what the two of them said.
"That's right, you two. This is the beef that was just slaughtered today. It's very fresh."
"Oh, it turns out to be beef. Why does it taste so familiar? Come on, is it really beef?"
When Li Er heard that it was beef, his heart skipped a beat.
The Tang Dynasty established laws that prohibited people all over the world from slaughtering cattle at will.
But what he didn't expect was that someone would slaughter cattle under his nose?
It's really, really, unbearable.
However, now that I am in Zhuangzi, I cannot be too high-profile no matter what.
"Why, you two are the same people, and you also like to eat beef?"
"Hahahaha, to be honest with you, I can only eat it occasionally.
After all, this is beef, and it would be against the law to slaughter farm cattle casually, so!"
"I understand, I understand. Since everyone is a foodie, you two can't be polite.
If these beefs are not enough, I will arrange for Zhuangzi to kill two more!"
"No, no, Master, Master, that's enough, that's enough, thank you Master!"
The two ate and drank until finally, they finished everything, stood up slowly, and saluted again.
"Thank you for your warm hospitality, sir. We have already eaten this meal.
However, it is still unclear what the surname of the young master is, and who his given name is, if he returns to Chang'an.
I don't even know who invited us to have a meal. If word spreads, people will laugh!"
"My name is Zhao Mu, and I am the owner of Zhaojiazhuang."
"It turns out to be Mr. Zhao. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. My surname is Li, and this is my housekeeper, whose surname is Sun.
Our Li family has been doing business for generations, mainly dealing in grain.
To be honest, Mr. Zhao said, today, the housekeeper and I came out just to see where we could get more food.
Now this heavy snowfall is so sudden that the entire Guanzhong is in a food shortage."
