Daqin arrests alchemists, what does it matter to me as a qi refiner?

Chapter 249 Jieli Khan, the Dance King of the Tang Dynasty

"What is this?" Looking at the paper Qin Tian pushed over, Li Shimin was a little confused.

"What else could it be? A recipe for cooking." Qin Tian smiled.

It records everything about cooking in detail, from the appearance of the iron pot to the preparation of seasonings, and even includes recipes, everything is covered!

Li Shimin was suddenly stunned.

"Just...give it to me like this?"

"What if?" Qin Tian laughed: "If you are grateful and insist on kneeling three times and kowtowing to me, I don't mind!"

"Fuck you!" Li Shimin cursed with a smile.

But there was still something strange about him.

"It's for you. Stop your mouth, so that you won't be idle in the future and encourage me to become an official." Qin Tian rolled his eyes.

As he became more deeply involved in the world, he became more and more human.

This is a good thing for Qin Tian, ​​as it will help stabilize his condition, prevent him from falling into a state of forgetfulness, and finally take the initiative to conform to the way of heaven.

Therefore, Qin Tian was happy to laugh and curse with people in the world.

Although he is reluctant to admit it, it is actually difficult for ordinary people to get close to Qin Tian.

The gap brought about by the level of life will make ordinary people subconsciously stay away from Qin Tian, ​​even if they don't notice it themselves.

Only those with great perseverance, or those with outstanding talents, or even those favored by God, can communicate normally with Qin Tian.

In a popular sense, this kind of person is either a talented person in the world or a person whose status, ability and character are far beyond ordinary people.

Therefore, the people who interact with Qin Tian are almost no ordinary people in the traditional sense.

"As for whether you use it to open a restaurant, or simply hide it and eat it yourself, that's up to you."

Qin Tian added: "But I still suggest that you take this recipe and open a restaurant. If it's really inconvenient, you can find someone to open it for you."

"Why is this?" Li Shimin was a little confused.

Once this restaurant opened, it was a cash cow that made a lot of money every day. He really didn't understand why Qin Tian gave it away for free.

"Because after the restaurant opened, cooking must have quickly become popular among the people. To a certain extent, this can be regarded as benefiting the people!"

"If you hide it yourself and eat it, you don't know how long it will take to spread the word!"

Qin Tian did not tell the real reason.

In fact, to put it bluntly, he wants to eat food of various flavors outside if he has the opportunity in the future.

After all, it’s a bit too troublesome to have to do it yourself every time you want to eat something.

If possible, Qin Tian hopes that the next time he leaves the customs, he can spend some money to buy delicious food.

But he himself is too lazy to promote it. These are just trivial things. It is really not Qin Tian's character to open a restaurant with great fanfare for this trivial matter.

Giving him to Li Shimin is actually the best choice.

Effective promotion is always the most effective means of promotion, so Qin Tian is very much looking forward to the success of stir-fried food in Datang.

Qin Tian couldn't help but look forward to what kind of food the collision and fusion of stir-fry and Tang Dynasty food culture would bring.

In a long cultivation career, you still have to find some fun for yourself, otherwise it would be too boring.

Li Shimin looked at Qin Tian in shock.

"Is it because of... this kind of reason?"

Qin Tian saw Li Shimin's thoughts at a glance and said with a smile: "Don't be too optimistic."

“If stir-fried vegetables are to be popularized in ordinary people’s homes, I’m afraid it will still take tens or even hundreds of years!”

"Why is this happening?" Li Shimin was a little confused.

In fact, the reason is very simple. If you want to cook stir-fry, you must at least have an iron pot.

Stone pots can be used for cooking, but they are definitely not suitable for cooking.

But the problem is that smelting technology is not very developed yet, and not just anyone can afford an iron pot.

If we don’t even have an iron pot, how can we talk about the popularity of cooking?

Qin Tian can help with other matters, but he has no way to do anything about this matter.

After all, he didn't understand the chemical industry or how to improve smelting technology.

If you let him come, not to mention fine steel, he can even refine metals from myths and legends such as mithril fine gold.

But when it comes to smelting methods that can be popularized and used by ordinary people, Qin Tian just doesn't know.

So we can only wait for the times to develop slowly.

"That's it!" Li Shimin suddenly realized.

"But it's not impossible to solve it..." Li Shimin stroked his chin and thought.

"Technology has been advancing, and there is no guarantee that there will not be a large-scale breakthrough in metallurgical technology in the next few decades. When the price of iron becomes cheap enough, maybe cooking will become popular!"

Qin Tian glanced at Li Shimin in surprise: "Okay, you kid, you can think this far now!"

"It seems that you have thought deeply about the things you and I talked about in the past two years!"

Qin Tian is very much looking forward to what kind of changes Li Shimin, who is different from the original thinking in history, will bring to the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin smiled bitterly: "Brother Qin's character is hard to compare to Li!"

To be fair, Li Shimin thought that if it were him, he would definitely not just give away the money tree.

And Qin Tian not only gave the secret recipe to himself, but the content recorded in it was so detailed that even if he replaced a pig, he could still make a stir-fry dish with full color, flavor and flavor according to this secret recipe!

"Let's make an agreement first. When your restaurant really opens, you have to leave a private room for me." Qin Tian said with a smile: "And you can't charge me when I go to eat!"

"This is my technical investment!"

It is said to be a technical investment, but compared with what Qin Tian paid, what is the price? Rounding it off, this is equivalent to giving it away for free!

Li Shimin seems to be the leader of a country, but in fact, his life is not easy!

The landlord’s family doesn’t have any food left!

After all, he is the leader of a country, and he also needs to create the image of a wise king, not to mention extravagant enjoyment in his daily life.

Even if he plays a fool, Wei Zheng will nag him non-stop.

Therefore, Li Shimin's life is not much better than that of ordinary wealthy households.

Although he also enjoys it.

But with this restaurant, it's different.

First of all, this is his private property. Of course, this property must not be in his hands. How would it be appropriate for a dignified emperor to run it himself? Definitely looking for someone with white gloves.

In this way, all the profits from the restaurant will definitely belong to him.

If you want to spend some money in the future, you can also use your own small treasury instead of the national treasury, so that you won't be nagged by Wei Zheng.

Secondly, if the restaurant is prosperous, you will also be blessed in the future, right?

Finally, and the most important and critical point is that Li Shimin did this not to enjoy the goose for himself, but to promote cooking, to benefit the people, and to have fun with the people! With such a level of righteousness, even Wei Zheng can't say anything about himself!

Li Shimin is really moved!

"Brother Qin, Brother Qin, I don't even know how to thank you!"

Li Shimin said with emotion.

In the future, in addition to recording his great achievements, history books will definitely record his identity as the founder of stir-fry!

Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Li Shimin has always insisted on giving Qin Tian income dividends, but Qin Tian has always refused.

He is not short of money at all, and he has to go to the trouble of getting the dividends himself, which is really unnecessary.

But he couldn't resist Li Shimin's strong request. He would leave 30% of Qin Tian's shares anyway.

In the end, Qin Tian had no choice but to agree.

But he was too lazy to take the money and just said he would leave it in the store when the time came.

While chatting, the two of them talked about the recent major events in Chang'an City.

Talking about the recent major events and popular figures in Chang'an City, the most well-deserved one among them is Jieli Khan.

To say that this Jieli Khan is also a talented person, he will do anything to save his own life.

As soon as he arrived in Chang'an City, he started his performance outside Chang'an City, crying bitterly and saying that he was ashamed of Li Shimin.

After seeing Li Shimin, he was even more elated and excited, and even danced a song in the middle.

After hearing that Li Shimin was willing to pardon his sins, Jieli Khan was extremely happy and once again performed a song and dance in front of many ministers without feeling embarrassed at all.

After arriving in Chang'an City, he was restless and kept playing music and dancing all day long!

He hangs out in singing and dancing venues every day, enjoying himself and even performing in person when the mood strikes. He has become a joke inside and outside Chang'an for a while.

Qin Tian couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "The Dance King of the Tang Dynasty, who doesn't know who doesn't?"

"Good, good, good, what a great Tang Dance King!" Li Shimin clapped his hands and smiled: "This title couldn't be more appropriate!"

……

The days that followed were peaceful. Li Shimin was busy with government affairs, but whenever he had free time, he would come to Qin Tian to drink tea and chat.

The content of the two people's chat was also far-fetched and irrelevant.

Gradually, Li Shimin also gave up the idea of ​​asking Qin Tian to serve as an official.

In Li Shimin's heart, Qin Tian gradually became his best friend, rather than a talent who must be invited to serve as an official in the court.

During this period, Li Shimin also chatted happily with Sun Simiao. When he learned that Sun Simiao was in his sixties, he was even more shocked.

Because in Li Shimin's opinion, Sun Simiao was only thirty or forty years old at most, and with his thick black hair, he didn't look like an old man in his sixties.

Not to him, he is young, just thirty years old, and his hair is already covered with gray.

Qin Tian even laughed at Li Shimin for this, saying that he was the pillar of the country, who served the country and the people, and died with dedication.

Unexpectedly, Li Shimin immediately became happy when he heard it and happily accepted the compliment.

Besides chatting, Li Shimin did not forget to ask Qin Tian for advice on government affairs.

It is said that it is government affairs, but in fact most of it is about the overall situation.

For example, the integration of ethnic minorities, social development, and feudal ethics.

Li Shimin is indeed the emperor of the ages. The problems that others worry about do not exist here at all.

Maybe it was because he listened to Qin Tian's suggestion, or maybe it was for other reasons. In short, when Li Shimin was in power, the entire society was extremely prosperous.

Li Shimin was extremely willing to encourage various inventions and creations in society. He believed that these things would make the Tang Dynasty more prosperous.

With Li Shimin's encouragement, smelting technology has also been greatly improved, and the cost of ironware has been greatly reduced.

I have to mention that cooking is also responsible for this.

As soon as the stir-fried dishes were launched, they became popular throughout Chang'an City, especially Jieli Khan, who personally endorsed the stir-fried dishes. He must eat at Fumanlou every day!

At least one meal a day is unbeatable!

After Li Shimin also came to dine here, the reputation of Fumanlou spread throughout the country. For a time, dignitaries throughout the capital followed suit.

Qin Tian came up with this idea for Li Shimin in order to advertise Fumanlou.

Li Shimin wanted to eat stir-fried vegetables, didn't he eat whatever he wanted in the palace? After all, Qin Tian has given all the secret recipes to Li Shimin.

I think the imperial chefs in the palace would have learned this a long time ago.

Why go to Fumanlou, which you own?

But Li Shimin wanted to make money, so he had no choice but to invite the emperor to his restaurant for dinner.

In this way, after becoming famous, Fumanlou will really make money every day! Li Shimin was so happy that he couldn't even close his mouth!

If he is a foolish king who indulges in pleasure, he will naturally not care about this small amount of money.

But he is not. Not only is Li Shimin not, he is also a sage king who is nagging his ministers about how much money he spends on meals.

At this time, Fumanlou's income was very important to him.

Qin Tian, ​​on the other hand, looked at Li Shimin with a half-smile after hearing the news.

"You are so capable, you can even invite the emperor to come over?"

Li Shimin broke out in a cold sweat: "This... this is all thanks to Brother Qin!"

In the entire courtyard, only Sun Simiao didn't know Li Shimin's true identity, and the rest were just pretending to be stupid.

But after hearing what Li Shimin said, Qin Tian became curious: "Why does it come from me?"

Li Shimin got wise in his haste and said nonsense: "It's not because you tell me about those political affairs and your insights every day, so I use them to brag!"

Li Shimin pretended to be helpless: "You are still unwilling to serve as an official. No matter how I invite you, you are unwilling. In order not to cause you trouble, I have to say that it is all what I said!"

"And the stir-fried vegetables were accidentally revealed to His Majesty. As soon as His Majesty was happy, he went to take a look around Fumanlou."

Li Shimin waved his hand: "Actually, it's not that mysterious. I don't have any status or abilities. I just see His Majesty sometimes!"

"Really speaking, I don't even have an official position now, let alone any official rank or title!"

The whole sentence is true at all. Since becoming the emperor, Li Shimin has lost all his positions, ranks and titles.

He is the emperor and does not need this to prove himself.

Seeing that he was sincere, Qin Tian didn't say anything more, and Quan believed Li Shimin's lies.

And it is precisely because stir-fry is famous that many people are proud to be able to eat stir-fry.

Many princes and nobles began to keep cooks at home to cook food for themselves.

That’s right, within a few years of Fumanlou’s opening, the secret recipe for cooking was leaked.

In fact, it cannot be said to be a leak. After all, cooking is not difficult, and you can guess the approximate method just by hearing the name.
