Chapter 45 Delicious Appetizers
Li Zheng, who was dreaming, was woken up by Li Yifu, opened his eyes and looked around, "What's the matter."

Li Yifu said in a low voice, "General Li Jing is back, just waiting outside."

Li Zheng got out of bed and packed himself up and asked, "When did you come?"

"It's been a while. Even His Majesty didn't go to see him, so he came to our village." Li Yifu said.

After washing his face and letting himself wake up quickly, he walked out of the house and saw this middle-aged man.

He was standing straight and looking at himself, he looked 40 years old, and his eyes were very sharp.

"You are younger than I thought." Li Jing said.

"Under Li Zheng, I met General Li Jing." Li Zheng saluted slightly.

Li Jing walked up to Li Zheng and said in a low voice, "Your order of grace in Chang'an allowed us to take down Yinshan without bloodshed."

"General Li Jing has won the prize." Li Zheng said with a smile.

Li Jing went on to say: "Actually, before your strategy, tens of thousands of our soldiers were ready for a storm, but a storm is the last resort, and many soldiers will be sacrificed. Your strategy allows us to relax and let our soldiers not have to take risks. Death, I have thanked tens of thousands of soldiers."

After speaking, Li Jing bent down and bowed.

Li Zheng also hurriedly saluted, "General, don't do this."

Li Jing glanced at Su Dingfang behind him and said, "He is Su Dingfang. If you encounter any difficulties, tell Su Dingfang and let him tell this old man."

"You're welcome, General."

After Li Jing finished speaking, he left.

Do you want to cover your own meaning when you listen to it?

What kind of experience was Li Jing, the god of war in the Tang Dynasty, covering himself.

Saying goodbye to Li Jing, Li Zheng turned to look at Su Dingfang, looking at the appearance of fifteen or sixteen years old, but there was an ordinary person's lack of energy in his eyes.

The people brought out by General Li Jing were indeed different.

Su Dingfang glanced at Li Zheng one more time and remembered his appearance in his heart.

When Li Jing returned to Chang'an, he didn't go to see Li Er. After returning home, he closed the door and closed the door to see no guests.

Li Jing did this and Li Shimin didn't say anything.

The rest of the generals should still be rewarded, and what Chang'an City should celebrate should still be celebrated.

One half of the three thousand houses in Jingyang County have been completed.

A spirits workshop was completed in Jingyang.

Cheng Chumo looked at the spirits workshop and sighed, "From now on, we will never drink that horse urine-like Sanle pulp again."

Li Zheng and Cheng Chumo signed and signed, provided the technology and manpower themselves, and Cheng Chumo produced the raw materials for the aging.

Drinks in Datang are rare, and it is rare for ordinary people to eat wine once.

To make spirits requires a lot of aging for distillation and blending, and the cost is also high.

If you want to brew in large quantities, you can't do it without Cheng Yaojin's way.

The two agreed that the profits would be divided between [-] and [-] percent, Li Zheng would get [-] percent, and the Cheng family would get [-] percent.

Sitting in front of the stone table in the newly built winery, Li Zheng brought a pot of boiled peanuts and a pot of pig ears in front of Cheng Chumo.

"What's this?" Cheng Chumo picked up a bunch of peanuts curiously.

"Peanuts." Li Zheng said.

Cheng Chumo imitated Li Zheng's appearance and opened the peanuts to eat, "Yeah! It's delicious."

After eating another mouthful of pig ears, Cheng Chumo took another sip of wine, "Comfortable!"

The pig ears are added with spicy dogwood, which can also add some flavor.

The two were eating, and Li Tai came hurriedly, "So you are here."

Li Tai smelled the aroma of wine as soon as he sat down, "Could this be..."

"Of course it's spirits." Cheng Chumo poured Li Tai a bowl of wine and said, "To be honest with His Royal Highness King Wei, this spirit is now the only one for my Cheng family."

Looking at the clear drink, Li Tai said in a low voice, "I only drank it once, and it was a small bottle as a gift from my father. I didn't expect you to drink this kind of spirits every day."

"Neither." Li Zheng said.

Li Tai's eyes were resentful: "Emotionally, you have already drunk such a good drink, and I am living a miserable life. Haha, the two of you are too boring."

Looking at the two dishes on the table, Li Tai asked, "What kind of dish is this?"

"Pig ears and peanuts." Li Zheng said.

"I've never heard of it." Li Tai picked up a piece of pig ear and ate it. The cartilage was very crisp and elastic.

"Is this pork?"

"Pig's ears are pork, of course."

Cheng Chumo looked at Li Tai and said proudly, "How is it? It's delicious, I haven't eaten it before."

It was the first time that Li Tai had eaten pork since he was a child. After eating pig ears and drinking spirits, his eyes turned red.

Li Zheng asked, "His Royal Highness King Wei, why are your eyes red?"

After taking another mouthful of peanuts and another mouthful of wine, Li Tai sniffed and said embarrassingly, "Li Zheng, you don't know, don't look at me as a prince, they all say that I am King Wei, how honorable I am, Now I think my days are not as good as yours."

Li Zheng continued serving Li Tai with drinks and said, "His Royal Highness King Wei is joking. If I had your identity, I would go to the streets every day to molest women from good families."

Li Tai patted the table and said, "My confidant, I've wanted to do this for a long time."

All the aunts in the village brought a bowl of stewed pork and dipped it in cornel.

Li Tai ate a mouthful of fat and thin pork, tears lingering in disappointment, Jiujin said sadly: "Li Zheng, there is no money in the palace, and my life is hard, your pork is really delicious. "

Li Zheng sighed that Li Tai seemed to have been abused in Chang'an.

After drinking the wine, Li Tai said again: "Everyone said that pork is cheap meat, but now I know that this pork is also fragrant."

Li Zheng comforted: "His Royal Highness King Wei, drinking is drinking, don't be so excited."

"Can I not be excited? What has been my life since last year, I can't look forward to eating a meal of meat for a month."

The more Li Tai said, the more excited he became. "My father advocated frugality and not extravagance, but I suffered. I'm still growing."

Recently, the Tang Dynasty had to deal with the war with the Turks, and the granary of the treasury was so empty, which means that this year will have a good harvest.

In order to tide over the difficulties, Li Shimin must lead by example to be diligent and thrifty, from the prince to the dignitaries of various countries, he must not be extravagant and wasteful.

Seeing Li Tai crying while drinking, Li Zheng asked Xiang Cheng Chumo in a low voice, "Did he drink like this before?"

"I haven't had a drink with His Royal Highness Prince Wei very much." Cheng Chumo said in a low voice.

Li Zheng glanced at Li Tai's heartbroken expression while drinking and said, "It seems that the wine is not very good."

"I see." Cheng Chumo also nodded.

Li Tai ate another mouthful of pork with tears in his eyes, "This meat is really delicious."

After giving Li Tai a big pot of meat, Cheng Chumo kept eating peanuts, as if he couldn't stop.

Cheng Chu smiled silently and said, "This peanut is really a good thing, and it's not so drunk after drinking two bowls of spirits."
