Chapter 17 Li Er, please pay for the meal!

Pei Ji, on the other hand, looked confused.

He took a careful look at Li Xuan to make sure he saw it correctly.

The person in front of me is definitely the King Zhao of Xifu.

As the first hero to participate in Li Shimin and Li Yuan's army in Jinyang, Pei Ji was very familiar with the Li family.

Even the most capable person in the Li family with the most abnormal brain is Li Xuanba, King of Zhao of Xifu!

Pei Ji also met him often..

But, why is Your Majesty so indifferent?

Even Li Wei is like this?

Thinking about it, Pei Ji looked at Li Shimin and Li Wei's faces for a long time with puzzled expressions, and then looked at Li Xuan's face for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what was going on.

Then he raised his hands and asked: "May I ask, young master, is it really not the reincarnation of King Zhao?"

"King Zhao?"

Li Xuan continued to look puzzled.

"May I ask which prince of your majesty is the King of Zhao whom Mr. Pei is talking about?"

"Ahem!"

Hearing this, Pei Ji was shocked and quickly bowed his hands and apologized: "King Zhao is not your Majesty's prince today. Since the young gentleman is not King Zhao, then I have mistaken the person! However, the appearance of the young master is too similar to that of King Zhao.

It's similar, so Pei admits his mistake and asks for your forgiveness."

After saying that, he sighed heavily.

"Pei Gong does not need to do this. Before this, Li Wei and Mr. Li both mistook me for the wrong person. It seems that the name of King Zhao should be Li Xuanba!"

"Um?"

Hearing this, Pei Ji couldn't help but look at Li Shimin and Li Wei standing aside.

But he saw that these two people were glaring at him!

"Well, Mr. Pei doesn't need to guess any more. I grew up with Xuanba. I hope that Li Xuan will be resurrected as Xuanba more than Mr. Pei. Unfortunately, Li Xuan is not Xuanba after all!"

Then, without waiting for Pei Ji to speak, Li Shimin continued: "Mr. Pei's waist is just right, so he shouldn't stand for a long time. If you have anything to do, sit down first and then talk!"

"Your Majesty is absolutely right!"

At this moment, Pei Ji still didn't understand that His Majesty didn't want this young master to know his true identity.

Therefore, he continued his words, bowed his hands and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty!"

Immediately, he followed and sat next to Li Shimin.

Seeing this, no matter how depressed he felt, Li Xuan still endured it and continued to take out two sets of bowls and chopsticks from the cupboard and placed them in front of Pei Ji.

After all, future generations still need to have etiquette for receiving guests.

"I wonder if Mr. Pei has had lunch. My family is poor and I only have a few steamed buns to serve. If there is anything wrong with me, please forgive me!"

"Haha, little master, you are too worried. Such sweet steamed buns are the most precious thing!"

After saying that, Pei Ji grabbed a steamed bun and started eating it.

I don't know if Li Xuan forgot or was in a hurry to eat. This time he didn't force Pei Ji to wash his hands before eating.

Seeing Pei Ji starting to eat, Lawyer Pei, who had already lost his patience, hurriedly grabbed a big steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth without caring about the image.

This time, finally no one came to disturb me.

It allows Li Xuan to finish his meal safely.



After meal.

Li Shimin, Pei Ji and others all caressed their bellies in unison, leaning back on their chairs with comfortable faces, motionless.

After a while, Pei Ji took a long breath.

He raised his hand to Li Xuan opposite him and thanked him again.

"This meal is the most delicious meal I have ever eaten in my life. Thank you very much for your hospitality, young master!"

"Mr. Pei is so polite!"

Li Xuan smiled slightly, "A steamed bun costs five cents, a bowl of vegetables costs ten cents, and a bowl of rice soup costs two cents. I will ask Mr. Pei to pay for the meal later!"

Forehead!

As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Ji, Li Shimin and everyone else's expressions froze.

Is the young master collecting money?

Moreover, after knowing their identities, they still asked for money!

"Don't be alarmed, Mr. Pei and the prince. I am living in a mountain village, remote and barren, and it is difficult to make money. And such a meal can last for several days. Although this matter is insulting to gentlemen, I still need to live. This is not allowed."

Shameless, charging meal money from these people!"

"Should I accept it too?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin, who was originally going to watch the show, looked frozen.

"nature!"

Li Xuanyi said sternly: "The prince and this Li Wei just ate several big steamed buns. This is the boy's meal for several days."

"Besides, the last time the boy used the medicinal materials to save Li Wei, he still had to pay the usual nine hundred coins! This time, shouldn't it be time to pay the boy a lump sum?"

Li Shimin...

Li Wei...

Pei Ji, Lawyer Pei...

This not only collects meal money, but also collects bills!

Thinking about it, Lawyer Pei couldn't help but said: "Even so, I charge five cents for a steamed bun, isn't it a bit too much? Even in Chang'an City, you can buy two of a large white-faced steamed bun for one cent.

!”

"What Magistrate Pei said is different!"

Li Xuan directly retorted: "I dare to ask County Magistrate Pei, are the white flour steamed buns in Chang'an City as big as Xiaozi's white flour steamed buns? Are they as crispy, soft and sweet as Xiaozi's steamed buns?"

"Definitely not. Based on this, should one of my steamed buns be four times more expensive than the ones in Chang'an City? Is it reasonable to charge two cents for one steamed bun?"

After listening, Li Shimin, Pei Ji, and Lawyer Pei all nodded subconsciously.

"Moreover, the white flour used in Xiaozhen's white flour steamed buns has to be purchased from Chang'an City, which is dozens of miles away. The freight is much more expensive than in Chang'an City. Should the price be even more expensive? Is that right?

It has to be sold for at least three cents!"

Several people nodded subconsciously.

"Furthermore, when the boy steamed the steamed buns, he also added a few precious condiments to make the steamed buns white and big. Will the price increase by another penny?"

Gradually, Li Shimin, Pei Ji, Lawyer Pei and others began to hear that something was wrong.

However, I couldn't hear anything wrong, so I had no choice but to nod again.

"Finally, when you were eating, did you notice that the dining table and dining chairs you were sitting on were different from those tables, chairs and stools in the past? After sitting for so long, you still don't feel any discomfort?"

Li Shimin, Pei Ji, and Lawyer Pei looked shocked and nodded again.

"In this case, adding another penny is more than reasonable!"

After saying that, Li Xuan looked at Lawyer Pei quietly.

After all, among so many people, only Lawyer Pei has the lowest status and can still afford to pay.

"this?"

Seeing this, Lawyer Pei hurriedly looked at Pei Ji aside.

Although what Li Xuan said was very reasonable, he always felt that he had been cheated.

"It's okay, sir, go and calculate how much it will cost and pay it to the young master as well!" Pei Ji said.

After hearing this, Lawyer Pei quickly took off a fine silk bag from his waist.

Seeing this, Li Xuan frowned slightly and said directly: "Pei Gong ate a steamed bun, a bowl of vegetables, and a bowl of rice soup. He had to pay a total of seventeen cents! And County Magistrate Pei ate two today.

Steamed buns, a bowl of vegetables, and a bowl of rice soup cost twenty-two cents!

In addition to County Magistrate Pei and others, they ate ten steamed buns, five bowls of vegetables, and five bowls of rice soup yesterday, and needed to pay one hundred and ten cents. The total of these three sums was one hundred and forty-nine cents!

"

"Um?"

Pei Ji and Li Shimin couldn't help but be surprised when they heard that Li Xuan had calculated it without hesitation.

Immediately, he quickly looked at Lawyer Pei: "But is it such a number?"
