Datang: at the Beginning, Eat Fruit

　　"It's expensive. Give me ten pounds first. If you save some drinks, it's enough for the old man's family to drink for a month!!" Fang Xuanling.

　　"What, you only bought a few kilograms, and it's gone after a few sips. Let me tell you the truth, although there are a total of [-] kilograms, it will be hard to drink after it's sold out. You can buy more and bury them in the ground. Keep it, because the longer the age, the more fragrant the wine will be, and you can sell it to others at a high price, and even make a fortune." Cheng Yaojin looked at Fang Xuanling with contempt and said.

　　"Hehe, Zhijie is indeed a master who will not suffer losses. You can also make a fortune by helping others sell wine." Zhangsun Wuji said lightly.

　　"No... not much." Seeing his eldest grandson Wuji sinisterly looking at him, Cheng Yaojin's face was a little unnatural.

　　"Okay, this old man will buy two thousand catties." The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile.

　　"Thank you Brother Wuji for your support." Cheng Yaojin said.

　　Two thousand catties is not much, but there are more than [-] officials at the scene. If everyone buys two thousand gold, two hundred thousand catties can be sold out immediately.

　　It's a pity that not everyone has the wealth of the eldest grandson Wuji, and then Shubao and the others are [-] catties each, and the rest are a few dozen catties or two or three hundred catties.

　　On the whole, a total of [-] catties of Maotai were pre-sold by Cheng Yaojin at a banquet.

　　Cheng Yaojin was able to earn [-] guang from them, which is equivalent to buying [-] jin of Maotai without paying for it himself.

　　In addition to the [-] kilograms he had prepared to leave for himself, he had already completed half of the task Lu Xiu had given him.

　　For a moment, Cheng Yaojin couldn't stop smiling.

　　"Haha, come here, everyone drink, you won't go home tonight if you don't get drunk, you can drink a few hundred kilograms of fine wine as you please." Cheng Yaojin said happily.

　　Knowing that Maotai was a few hundred dollars a pound, everyone wanted to drink enough, so everyone drank it openly, accompanied by the appetizers on the table, and the banquet lasted for three hours.

　　In particular, some people who were born military commanders have an amazing amount of alcohol. They almost drank hundreds of kilograms of fine wine. .

Chapter 36

　　In the early morning of the next day, Li Er, who had finished breakfast, came to Hanyuan Hall to attend the once-a-day court meeting.

　　But the scene in front of him made him stunned.The huge Hanyuan Hall, except for a few small shrimps, was actually "empty", and all his humerus ministers did not come!

　　"What's the matter, where are they?" Li Er's voice was faintly angry.

　　However, no one stood up to answer Li Er's words.Including his most trusted eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling, they didn't come.

　　"Go, send a few people to find out what's going on." After Li Er was incompetent and furious for a while, he finally calmed down.

　　"Yes." Several guards next to him took orders, and after an hour, Li Er finally understood what was going on.

　　The guards sent out to investigate reported the situation last night in detail. It turned out that Cheng Yaojin had invited "Hundred Officials" and the banquet lasted until the second watch.Because of drinking too much, almost everyone was drunk.

　　"So he wanted to help Lu Zhuangzhu sell wine?" Mingming just gave him a few thousand a few days ago, has it been spent.

　　But the owner of Zhuang Lu, who has always "disdain fame and fortune", actually asked Cheng Yaojin to help sell wine, which surprised Li Er and wondered if he had encountered any difficulties.

　　If you are short of money, you can ask him for it.Although there are not many, but Li Er is willing to give him tens of thousands of dollars.

　　If it weren't for the fear of his identity being exposed, Li Er planned to "reward" tens of thousands of dollars to him a few days ago.

　　"Let's leave the court today, and let the officials return to the court tomorrow."

　　The Tang Dynasty had the first strike in history, but it was because of the wine, so the eunuchs on the side were stunned.Even the historian did not know how to record it.

　　Since he couldn't go to the morning court, Li Er pressed down on what he was doing, and soon he was in Anping County, just as he wanted to see what was going on in Luzhuang.

　　…………

　　In front of Luzhuang in Anping County, there are no more people queuing up to exchange food, and there are countless "labor" workers instead.

　　Li Er inquired and learned that because the plague of locusts that ravaged Chang'an had ended, Lu Xiu stopped the good deeds that the people exchanged for food with locusts.

　　In order to appease the food of the people in Anping County, they were hired to help with the work at the reward of [-] catties of food a day.

　　"I'm afraid it's just like building a palace. No wonder he's short of money. Does he want to build a palace?" Although Li Er knew that Lu Xiu was going to rebuild Lu Zhuang, he didn't expect the momentum to be so huge.

　　In just a few days, a big change has taken place within a few kilometers of Luzhuang.

　　All the houses in Luzhuang have been demolished. From their original location, skilled craftsmen are directing dozens of farm workers to start piling again.

　　The most conspicuous of them is that a large pit with a length of [-] meters and a width of [-] meters has now been dug out of the backyard that was originally empty, occupying a large position!There is a dug "canal" around the big pit, and I don't know what it is for.

　　"Lord Lu, has Lu Zhuang been demolished? If you don't have a place to live, why don't you stay at my house for a few days." In the shade of a tree, Li Er saw Lu Xiu and the others.

　　Seeing that Lu Xiu seemed to be having breakfast, Li Er took the opportunity to sit down opposite Lu Xiu.

　　"Uncle Li, Yuyao also wants her husband to live in my house, but her husband is unwilling. So before Luzhuang is rebuilt, we will live in a shack in Anping County." Yuyao said.

　　"There's nothing wrong with living in the foothills. Otherwise, if you have to travel back and forth between Chang'an City and Anping County several times a day, you will be exhausted." Lu Xiu replied.

　　Although Chang'an City is only a dozen miles away from Anping County, it only takes about half an hour by horse-drawn carriage.

　　But riding a carriage without shock absorbers, the bumpy feeling is simply not sour.

　　"Father, what about you, do you want to go back with me temporarily?" Li Er asked.

　　"Hmph, take care of yourself first. Are you alright today, you came so early." Li Yuan said coldly.

　　As usual, the early morning has just ended. Did he not go to the morning today?

　　"It's nothing this morning." Li Er glanced at Lu Xiu helplessly, "A lot of people were drunk yesterday, so they had to take a day off."

　　"In that case, have you eaten breakfast? If you haven't, would you like a bowl?" Lu Xiu asked. .

　　"Haha, I didn't eat it." Li Er glanced at the table, Lu Xiu and the others had a large bowl of hot soup in front of each of them, wondering what they had for breakfast?

　　"Second dog, bring another pair of bowls and chopsticks." Lu Xiu ordered.

　　"Yes, son."

　　Li Ergou responded and ran out.After a while, Li Er got a pair of bowls and chopsticks.

　　"We had beef ramen this morning."

　　The rich bone broth, garnished with chopped green onion, exudes bursts of aroma.

　　"Pasta?" It wasn't cake-like, but snow-white noodles, which made Li Er quite curious. .

Chapter 37

　　"It smells good."

　　It is a kind of pasta such as soup cakes, but it is also very different from the pasta soup cakes that ordinary people eat.Generally, the soup cake that Li Er knows is to put crushed and fried dough in the soup.

　　The dry and hard noodles absorb the deliciousness of the noodle soup, and the texture will become soft and delicious.Therefore, soup cake Li Er is the staple food that he often eats.

　　It's just that the soup cake in front of me is slender like a hair, I don't know how it is made, and what the taste will be like.

　　Li Er took a chopstick of thin noodles with his chopsticks and took a sip.

　　"Suck it!"

　　The slender noodles are steaming hot, suck for a while, and eat your mouth full.But a noodle seems to have no end, it's so long, I can't suck it all up.

　　After biting it off, I found that the noodles, which I thought were extremely soft and glutinous, were actually full of chewy texture. No wonder they did not melt under the hot soup.If you want to change to other noodles, soak it in the hot soup for a while, it is estimated that it has already rotted.

　　The noodles are fragrant, and the soup has been absorbed. It is really delicious with stewed beef as a side dish.Can common pasta be cooked so well?

　　"I'm so full." After drinking the last sip of soup in the bowl, Li Yuan patted his stomach with satisfaction and said, "Xiaoyou Lu's beef noodles are really delicious."

　　"Husband is amazing, it's obviously just a simple breakfast, but it's been more than ten days, and it hasn't been repeated yet." Li Yuyao looked at Lu Xiu with longing.

　　"Yeah, so far there is no difference between lunch and dinner. Among them, I have eaten more than [-] kinds of home-cooked dishes. It's really amazing." Li Yuanshen said with conviction.

　　"There are dozens of types of single-sided noodles, and it should take several months to eat one round." Besides noodles, all kinds of "rice noodles" in the south, such as snail noodles, are also flourishing.

　　Lu Xiu didn't have any plans, he just wanted to eat whatever he thought of.

　　Hearing this, Li Er was full of resentment. Although he came to eat often, he only ate a few kinds in total. Thinking about it, he felt a little unbalanced.

　　"Master Lu, are you asking someone to help you sell wine?" Li Er then asked.

　　"Well, what happened?"

　　"If you're short of money, you can tell me. If it's only ten thousand or twenty thousand, I can squeeze it out for you." If he could spend money to help Lu Xiu and let Lu Xiu owe him a favor, Li Er would be very happy.

　　"Hmph, what Lu Xiaoyou needs is [-] Guan, can you give it?" Li Yuan snorted coldly.

　　"What? One hundred thousand?" Li Er was stunned. The treasury had one hundred thousand, even one million.But to take it without authorization, it must not be sprayed to death by the censors.Ministers such as Wei Zheng, including the ministers of the Ministry of Household, would not agree.

　　You must know that he wanted to rebuild the Taiji Palace, but the ministers did not agree.

　　I originally thought that it was just to rebuild a manor, and it would not cost much. A few thousand guans must be enough, but it actually required [-] guans.

　　"Uncle Li, my husband said that since we want to rebuild, we need to do a better job." Li Yuyao said.

　　In addition to the tens of thousands of dollars needed to build a house, the rest is the gift money used for marrying a wife.

　　She was moved inwardly, how dashing her former husband was, and he was not burdened by fame and fortune.If it wasn't for the sake of marrying her, the husband wouldn't have gone to such great troubles at all.

　　In order for her to marry decently, in order for her to have a good place to live, she wants to make money.

　　Originally, she also wanted to ask for money from her parents' family, but when she heard the amount, she immediately cut off the unrealistic idea.

　　As the King of Hejian County, Li Xiaogong's family can make up [-] pieces, but he must sell part of the family property.

　　"Take it as if I didn't say it." Li Er smiled bitterly.

　　"You don't need to care, I'm not used to being favored by others." Lu Xiu said.

　　"Yes, it's better to make money and spend it yourself. Haha, for Lu Xiaoyou, a mere hundred thousand is nothing." Li Yuan said.

　　In the previous month, the food that was exchanged for the common people was worth no less than [-] to [-] yuan.

　　With his ability, if he was given a few years to keep a low profile, he would feel like it would be no problem to subvert the Li Tang Dynasty! !

　　"But why did the owner of Lu Zhuang ask someone to help sell wine? Wouldn't it be more convenient to open a wine shop in Chang'an City?" Li Er said.

　　"I want to collect [-] bottles in one month, and I don't plan to sell wine for a long time." If you want to open a winery in Chang'an City, choose the site, decorate, open, etc., it will waste several days.

　　In addition, it is very difficult for a newly opened winery to sell [-] bottles in a short period of time, but once the fame spreads, there will be a steady stream of guests.

　　"Husband said that it will only sell [-] catties, and it will close when it's sold out. If you want to buy it in the future, I don't know when you will wait. Uncle Li can buy more and keep it. It's easy to drink in the future, so you don't have to run around." Yuyao Then said.

　　"In that case, leave [-] to me."

　　Of course, Li Er wanted to buy some spares. Since he took ten kilograms from Cheng Zhijie last time, it is still unforgettable after drinking it.
