Datang start shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 14 Little Brother, I'll Tell You a Secret

Not only is the price increase of cattle, sheep and horses exaggerated, but the price increase of iron, medicinal, food and other combat preparation items is even more alarming, especially iron, which is three times as much as before the winter!
As an experienced commander in chief, he knew that in all likelihood, Wang Zi'an had told him what happened.

At this moment, the personal inner guard came hurriedly.

"Report to Your Majesty, Wang Zi'an's situation has been verified—"

Li Shimin couldn't help but lift his spirits.

"speak--"

"That Wang Zi'an is from Wangwa Village, Chang'an County. He was originally a student in Chang'an County, but for some unknown reason, he had a sudden hysteria half a year ago, so he voluntarily dropped out of the county school. Now he lives alone in a small courtyard in the eastern suburbs of Chang'an... …”

Li Shimin couldn't help but his eyes flashed, showing a thoughtful look, and asked lightly.

"Any relatives?"

"No, this Prince An's parents died when he was young, and he didn't get along very well with the clan. Therefore, after entering the county school, he sold his ancestral property and directly bought a small courtyard in the eastern suburbs..."

He is clean and has read books.

Li Shimin couldn't help but feel relieved.

As for the hysteria, he would rather believe that the gentlemen in the county school developed the hysteria.What's the point of staying in the county school for a talent like Wang Zi'an, who can teach him?
Such a young hero must be in my pocket!
Thinking of Wang Zi'an's extraordinary methods, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel hot.

Coal without poisonous smoke can grow green vegetables in a greenhouse in winter!
This is all a means of relating to people's livelihood and society!
By the way, there is also a clear Lingling like water, but it is mellow and meaningful, and full of energy.There are also fresh and delicious hot pot.Thinking of this, he couldn't help but secretly swallowed his saliva, and the food made by the royal chefs suddenly became dull.

"Your Majesty, the imperial kitchen has come to ask for instructions, do you still need to prepare hot pot for dinner..."

At this moment, an old servant came in cautiously and bent over to ask for instructions.

Li Shimin's face darkened upon hearing this.

During lunch, he had a whim and asked the imperial kitchen to prepare mutton hot pot according to Wang Zi'an's practice.

Who knows-

Which is also called hot pot!
Having eaten the hot pot prepared by Wang Zi'an himself, he can no longer bear this kind of sub-dark cooking-level hot pot.

"Tell the imperial kitchen, there is no need to prepare my imperial meal tonight."

Li Shimin looked at the sky, put on his regular clothes, and walked out of the palace.

Low key!

Except for the personal guards who were accompanying in secret, he didn't bring anyone with him.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the Yanxi Gate, he saw a sneaky figure in front of him.

"Knowing Festival?"

Li Shimin called out tentatively.

The figure in front suddenly paused, stopped a little unexpectedly, and covered his lips with his sleeves.

"His Majesty?"

When the two met each other for a while, they couldn't help showing a trace of embarrassment.

"It's so late, Your Majesty this is—"

Cheng Yaojin decisively preempted the attack.

"Cough - I'm here - come and see, you see the weather, I'm afraid it's going to snow, I want to see if the people have anything ready for winter..."

Li Shimin was in a hurry, and the embarrassment on his face disappeared immediately.

I came out not for superficial appetite.

"The minister is also, the minister is also..."

Before Li Shimin could speak, Cheng Yaojin nodded again and again.

Pooh!
You old man will care about this!

Li Shimin secretly spit in his heart, and his face remained calm.

"It's rare, if you have the heart - then accompany me -"

"Together, together—"

The two old men "inspected" in the direction of Prince An's house quite tacitly.

"Zhijie, why are you covering your mouth all the time?"

Li Shimin glanced at his old partner beside him with some doubts. This old man is weird today, always covering his mouth with his sleeve.

"Ah- get on fire, get on fire-"

Cheng Yaojin stumbled under his feet, scolded his bad luck, and went out to find Wang Xiaozi, but he could be caught by Li Er.

In the small courtyard, the prince was standing in front of the hot cauldron with a satisfied look on his face.

Dinner, simple, mutton steamed buns, relieve cravings and prevent cold.

Especially now, my cooking skills have soared, and the mutton steamed buns made by myself make myself drool involuntarily.

Who knows, as soon as the bowl is picked up here, there is a knock on the door outside.

"Lao Li, Lao Cheng - the two of you will catch up with your jobs, have you eaten? If you don't dislike it, let's eat a bowl of mutton steamed buns together..."

"Don't dislike, don't dislike—"

Before Li Shimin could speak, Cheng Yaojin rubbed his hands and nodded hastily.Before entering the yard, people can already smell that seductive fragrance!

"Then it's annoying—"

Li Shimin bowed his hands in a reserved manner, but his footsteps involuntarily sped up a bit.

"Come on, give-"

As Wang Zi'an spoke, he handed a thick porcelain bowl to each other.

"When you eat this stuff, you have to use it to get the feeling! How much do you want to eat and serve yourself—hey—Old Cheng, what's wrong with your mouth?"

Wang Zi'an looked at Cheng Yaojin with a look of surprise. He didn't see him this night, how could he be swollen like this!

Cheng Yaojin:  …

Not to mention, we are still good friends!

"Um—accidentally bumped, accidentally bumped—"

You hit a tree!

Wang Zi'an complained in his heart.

But he didn't bother to care about him, so he held the thick porcelain bowl, sprinkled a handful of coriander, and squatted down to eat.

Li Shimin and Cheng Yaojin served their bowls and found that Wang Zi An was squatting at the door to eat, so they were embarrassed to find a table and sit down, so they walked over and squatted side by side.

Three people, three bowls, side by side.

Huchihuchi, each one is more fragrant than the other.

"My little brother's cooking skills are absolutely amazing. Not to mention other things, just relying on this skill, if you want to open a restaurant, you can make a lot of money in Chang'an..."

Li Shimin swallowed the last piece of steamed buns and couldn't help sighing while getting up to add food.

"Not interested in--"

Wang Zi'an waved his hand indifferently.

As a traveler, if you want to make money, there are ways to make money, so why do you have to be a cook for others.Every day around the pot table, how can there be time to be happy.

"That's right, what's the point of being a cook--Boy Wang, do you want to follow me--"

Li Shimin:  …

"Cough, cough—mainly following shopkeeper Li's gang—"

Looking at Li Shimin's unkind eyes, Cheng Yaojin immediately came back to his senses and quickly saved himself.

Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction.

"How about it, Brother Wang, if you have the heart, I can recommend you to be an official. To be honest, I still have some connections in the court..."

"Old Li, we didn't drink today, what are you bragging about—"

Wang Zi'an glanced at him angrily.

"You're a smuggler, you don't know how much you are, and you also recommended me—you are considered good if you don't get cleaned up—"

The merchants of the Tang Dynasty were not comparable to the status of merchants in later generations. No matter how rich you are, you can only be slaughtered in front of officials.

"Cough cough - little brother, let me tell you a secret, I am actually with the royal family..."

Li Shimin was almost choked by Wang Zi'an's words, so he quickly added.
