Tang Dynasty: What! My mother is actually Empress Zhangsun

The next day, at noon,

Li Nian finally opened his sleepy eyes, looked carefully at the dilapidated house, and gradually regained consciousness.

"I remember, I traveled through time!"

Shaking his head to get rid of the sleepiness, Li Nian got up from the bed.

After a quick wash, he took the brown sugar off the beam, put it in a wooden box, wrapped it up in a bundle, and left the house.

When he arrived at the alley, he happened to meet the old man Su who was selling tofu pudding.

"Boss, give me two bowls of tofu pudding!"

I was able to think of this way of making money by making sugar, thanks to the inspiration I got from Old Man Su. Li Nian immediately sat down and shouted

"The young master is here again!"

Old Man Su happily brought two bowls of tofu pudding and greeted Li Nian enthusiastically.

"Boss, thank you for last night!"

Li Nian said with a smile while eating tofu pudding.

"You are too polite, young master."

At this time, there was no one else at the stall, so Old Man Su sat on a small stool and chatted with Li Nian.

"The people who live around here are all former soldiers, so it's only natural for us to help each other."

Upon hearing this, Li Nian immediately raised his head and asked,"Are all the people living in our area soldiers?"

Old Man Su nodded and said,"Most of them are. There are also many poor families, but it's almost the same."

"Those old soldiers in the army, after retiring from the battlefield, had nowhere else to go, so they all lived together."

Li Nian listened and thought it was quite interesting. He was no longer so unhappy about this house. The old soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were all soldiers who had fought in hundreds of battles. It was nice to have such people as neighbors.

"I heard from Tan Er that the young master lives alone?"

Old Man Su asked with a smile.

"Yeah, it's just me!"

"Oh, if you need any help in the future, just let me know. My family also lives in the alley, so we can take care of each other!"

Old Man Su heard it and spoke immediately.

He had a good impression of the young man in front of him, and at the same time, he felt pity for him.

The young man was the same age as his granddaughter, but it seemed that he was already an orphan.

Orphans were not uncommon in this alley. There were many orphans left behind by veterans of hundreds of battles. When he saw Li Nian, he thought of his brothers who had lived and died together in the past, and the wives and children they left behind.

If you can help, just help!

Li Nian was stunned when he heard Old Man Su say this, and then nodded heavily.

"Thank you, boss!"

God has been kind to him. At least, he met such a kind person when he first came to the Tang Dynasty.

After finishing the tofu pudding, Li Nian wiped his mouth, put down another ten coins, and turned to leave.

When Old Man Su came to clean up the dishes, he found out. Looking at Li Nian's leaving back, he had to smile bitterly and shook his head.

"This kid!"......

When Li Nian arrived at Xishi, he did not go directly to his third brother's shop, but found an inn not far away to stay.

It was rumored that this Tongfu Inn was the shop of a certain big boss, and the merchants had a good reputation for it, so it was very safe.

Li Nian left most of the brown sugar in the inn and only brought one pound of brown sugar to his third brother's shop.

""Waiter, where is your boss?"

Li Nian shouted as soon as he entered the door.

"Are you the one from yesterday?"

The waiter also recognized Li Nian and quickly came out from behind the counter.

""Well, where is your boss?"

Li Nian looked around and didn't see the fat boss, so he couldn't help asking

""Boss, what is this?"

The waiter was confused and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"It’s the shopkeeper!"

"Oh, the shopkeeper is upstairs, sir, what can I do for you?" The waiter got the order from the fat boss, so he naturally didn't look very nice to Li Nian.

"Call him out and tell him I have the best candy to sell to him, go quickly!"

Li Nian found a chair to sit down, poured a cup of hot tea and drank it happily.

Not long after, a burst of hurried footsteps were heard upstairs, and the fat boss came down and looked at Li Nian with a suspicious face.

"Sir, do you have any good brown sugar for sale?"

Li Nian took out a wooden box from his bag and spread it on the table.

The fat boss' eyes widened when he saw such a big block of sugar.

""Huh!"

The fat boss took a deep breath, took out a small pair of tweezers from his sleeve, carefully picked up a little, put it in his mouth and savored it carefully, then licked his tongue, his eyes full of passion.

"How is it? Is it good?"

The method of making sugar in India is just rough. Li Nian's method of making soup has been improved over thousands of years. Whether in purity or quality, it is better than the so-called Indian brown sugar!

"It’s a good thing, it’s a good thing!"

The fat boss said with a warm face,"I wonder what price you want to sell it for?"

"Two strings and one ounce!"

Li Nian stretched out two fingers and said

"Two strings and one tael!"

"This is too expensive!"

"No, absolutely not!"

The fat boss waved his hands repeatedly like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

"Boss, stop pretending!"

Li Nian said with a smile:"My brown sugar, no matter the quality or purity, is several times better than the one in your store. This stuff is very popular!"

"No matter how good it is, it won’t be this price. One tael, the most I can offer is one tael!"

The fat boss shook his head like a rattle.

Seeing the fat boss’s expression, Li Nian knew there was hope.

As the saying goes, the one who complains about the goods is the seller. This fat boss almost has his eyes on this brown sugar. The price he offers is definitely a good deal.

"Well, since you think it's expensive, forget it!"

Li Nian said, and packed up and prepared to leave.

"What a pity! I still have dozens of kilograms of brown sugar. I wanted to do a long-term business with you, but you didn't know the value of it. Forget it, forget it!"

When the fat boss heard that there were dozens of kilograms of brown sugar, his nerves suddenly tensed up.

This brown sugar is a specialty of Tianzhu. It is an exaggeration to say that it is priceless, but it is also a very rare thing.

The Tang people love to eat sweets, and honey and the like are far less delicious than this brown sugar. Therefore, brown sugar is in short supply in the noble families of the capital, and there is absolutely no worry about sales.

Moreover, the quality of Li Nian's batch of brown sugar is impeccable. As long as it is resold, it will be several times the profit!

""Wait a minute!"

The fat boss' face was full of smiles, and he hurried to the door of the store and grabbed Li Nian's sleeve.

"Sir, don't be anxious. This matter can be discussed!"

"Oh?"

Li Nian turned around, looked at him with a smile and said,"Boss, do you have anything else to say?"

The fat boss gritted his teeth, pretended to have suffered a great loss, and asked,"How much brown sugar of this quality do you have?"

Li Nian said,"Not much, only about thirty or fifty kilograms!"

The fat boss pondered for a moment, then said,"Two strings and one ounce, give it all to me!"

"It's over, I've lost money!"

Seeing that this guy agreed so readily, Li Nian knew that he had lost a lot!

However, doing business requires credibility, so he said,"Okay!"

The two of them signed a document, and Li Nian sold fifty kilograms of brown sugar to the fat boss at the price of two strings of silver and one tael.

Oh, by the way, the fat boss's surname is Cheng, and this shop is the property of the current Duke Lu.

He took the fat boss to the inn and gave him the remaining brown sugar. The fat boss was also very satisfied and gave him two large ingots of silver, fifty taels each, and twenty strings of silver.

The two agreed to deliver the goods within ten days.

With a huge sum of money in hand, Li Nian first went to the restaurant for a big meal, enjoying the Tang Dynasty cuisine, and then hired some bricklayers. The craftsman repainted the dilapidated yard, and the shabby gate finally completed his glorious mission and was chopped into firewood and piled outside the kitchen.

Looking at the newly repainted yard, Li Nian finally showed a relieved smile.

This is a bit of a home feeling.

Overnight, with a huge sum of 100 taels in hand, and the fat boss's order completed, a small goal of 1,000 taels can be achieved, and a few beautiful maids can be hired to play hide-and-seek in the yard every day. Isn't it wonderful?

Thinking of this, Li Nian couldn't help but let out a strange laugh.......

At the entrance of Sujia Lane, a beautiful woman in simple clothes was looking at the map in her hand and looking around.

"Huan'er, look at the address above, is it here?"

The people who came were Empress Changsun and her personal maid Huan'er.

They both changed into ordinary clothes today, but even so, Empress Changsun's stunning appearance still attracted many people's attention.

""Your Highness, this should be it!"

A pretty maid next to her checked carefully before reporting back.

Standing outside Li Nian's courtyard, Empress Changsun couldn't help but get nervous, with a complex look in her eyes.

"Huan'er, have you memorized all the words?"

""My queen, I remember everything. You have reminded me many times along the way!"

Huan'er said with a wry smile.

Who would have thought that the queen who sits in the harem and is the mother of the country would actually show such a little girl's attitude?

"Look at my clothes. Is there any tear in them?"

"Oh, my lady, please go in quickly, it will be dark if you wait any longer!"

"Okay, okay!"

After taking a deep breath, Empress Changsun calmed down and knocked on the door gently.

��Who is it?"

In the courtyard, Li Nian put down the broom and slowly opened the door.

""Creaky!"

The door opened, and at that moment, their eyes met.

At that moment, time stopped.......
