On the other side, the princess in the palace was also babbling in her dreams, all calling her daughter Xuanxuan's name. Her mother, the eldest grandson, the queen, saw all this in her eyes, she was very distressed but she couldn't do it, her daughter kept silent, and she couldn't Pressing again broke my daughter's heart.

On the second day, fur merchant Boss Hu finished his business and went back to Chang'an City with a batch of mountain goods. Before returning home, he went straight to a famous fur shop in Chang'an East City. He is also a regular customer here.

"Shopkeeper Li, I'm here again, Hu. Come and see the quality of this batch of goods. There is still a top-grade item inside, but luck."

The shopkeeper on the counter took the things with a smile and said, "Haha, every time you, Boss Hu, come to surprise the store, you are our patron."

"Excellent, honorable, I'm just a traveling businessman for a living.

Hey, I'm on my way, I haven't even had a hot meal, I'm really hungry, you look at it first, check it out, the old rules are fine, I'll eat some dry food first. "

As he spoke, Boss Hu took out a big white steamed bun from the bag, stood beside him and gnawed it.

Coincidentally, there happened to be two distinguished customers in this store who were choosing leather goods. They were a young man and a middle-aged lady. They seemed to be mother and son. Come and have a look around.

He happened to hear the conversation between Boss Hu and shopkeeper Liu. When he saw the white food that Boss Hu took out, he became curious. What made him even more curious was, what is it?Look at the man's food, which is delicious and can be crushed. Is it delicious?Really fresh.

Chapter 10 The little buns attract attention

"Brother, you're being polite. Li Zhen, may I ask what you're eating? It's really fresh. See if you eat it with gusto. Could you tell me about it?"

When Boss Hu heard this, he laughed loudly, "Mr. Li is being polite, just call me Lao Hu.

This thing is called steamed buns, which I bought in a place called Luoxia Town under Zhengxian County, Huazhou, Huazhou in the east, and it was invented by a shopkeeper who opened an inn.

You are really discerning, this food is soft and sweet, very delicious, and it is not expensive, three for one yuan, and it is made of pure white flour. "

oh?One or three is really not expensive, so it is so rare?Delicious and troublesome?Hearing this, Li Zhen's heart skipped a beat.

Boss Hu is also a shrewd person, so he hurriedly took out another one from the bag and handed it over, "If you don't mind being vulgar, I'll give you a taste, and you'll know the truth once you try it."

"Oh, this is abrupt, this is your ration, how am I?"

"It's okay. It's cheap and affordable. It's suitable for dry food. I bought some more this time when I came back. I still have a lot. You can just eat it, my lord. It's nothing."

This Li Zhen was also straightforward, without the style of a nobleman at all, took a bite of the steamed bun, huh?Really, the taste is good, really soft.

Soon a steamed bun was eaten, and Li Zhen liked it very much in his heart. Boss Hu kept nodding at the side. He didn't expect a rich man to eat the same thing as me and other poor people. This man is not bad.

"Haha, my son is really approachable, and Lao Hu admires it. This steamed bun has been two days old now, and the taste is slightly poor. In fact, it is the most delicious to eat when it is just hot out of the pan, but if it is cold, it will be steamed on the steamer. , Eating is also delicious.

I don't know much about Lao Hu, but I don't even have one in Chang'an City in my memory. "

Hearing this, the young master was even more pleasantly surprised. He had an idea in his mind, and bowed to Boss Hu, scaring him so that he hurriedly let him pass.

"Boss Hu, I have an unfeeling request. I want to pay you for this bag of steamed buns. I wonder if you can part with it? Don't worry, I won't let you lose money. This is a tael of silver."

Boss Hu was really surprised to see the other party being so generous, but he shook his head and didn't accept the two taels of silver. Mr. Li was a little puzzled, and he was still a little worried. Could it be that the other party didn't want to give up his love?

"My lord, what are you talking about? Although this tael of silver is precious, Lao Hu doesn't dare to forget his conscience. It's just a few steamed buns. If you value it, I'll leave a few for the children in the family to taste, and give the rest to you." That's it."

Seeing the sincerity of the other party, Li Zhen couldn't give in, so he had to accept the ten steamed buns handed over by the other party, and at the same time turned around and winked at the shopkeeper in the leather goods store.

"Boss Hu, the valuation has been completed. I will give you one tael of silver for these odd and small mountain goods. This intact red fox fur is the first-class product. I will give you five taels of silver in total. The total is six taels of silver. What do you think?" The shopkeeper shouted to Boss Hu.

Boss Hu was overjoyed when he heard the price. Originally, he only thought that he could sell it for four taels of silver, but today he was really lucky. Bar."

After collecting the money, Boss Hu happily bid farewell to several people and left.

Seeing his mother nodding to indicate that he had chosen, Li Zhen took out the money and handed it over, and said to the shopkeeper, "Thank you for your help just now, and help me pack these steamed buns so I can take them away. Sew it up and send it to the British government."

Looking at the back of the two leaving, shopkeeper Liu said to himself, it turned out to be the wife and son of the British general Li Ji, no wonder they are so educated, but I don't know why the son bought the steamed buns?Who in a rich family can appreciate such low-quality food?

Li Zhen, who returned home, did not delay, and almost trotted all the way to the study to find his father, the British Duke of the Tang Dynasty, Li Ji, also known as Li Ji. Xu Maogong was given the surname Li by Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, and later changed his name to Li Ji in order to avoid the name of Emperor Li Shimin.

"Father, father, I have a good thing here."

A scold came from the study, "What's the proper way to panic? I have taught you many times as a father. A man will get fame immediately. Don't be greedy for the prosperity and wealth of the world. Get something good and lose your composure like this? Could it be that you spend all your time with a bunch of people?" Has the kid become a playboy?"

Uncharacteristically, Li Zhen was not afraid, but walked in boldly, and placed the object in his arms directly on the desk of his father Li Ji.

The middle-aged man who was deliberating with a military book in front of the bookshelf turned around and said with a serious face: "Didn't you accompany your mother to buy leather goods? Why did you come back so fast? What is this thing? I know how to play with things all day long. Really"

Um?Before he finished speaking, Li Ji opened the package, and there were several white pancakes inside, but they were not pancakes.

"What is this?"

"This is the dry food that I bought from someone on the street by chance today. I had a flash of inspiration and thought that it might be used as dry food for marching. Father might as well taste it." Li Zhen introduced.

What?Dry food for the march? "Hehe, my son is promising, and he knows how to contribute to the country. Regardless of whether it is successful or not, you are a father who wants to praise you."

While talking, Li Ji picked up a steamed bun and took a bite. After tasting it, he knew that it was good. It tasted very good. Such a good thing must be used as dry food for marching. It is better than today's hard noodles. Where did the cake go.

"Good thing, tell me quickly, where did you get this thing? What good idea do you have?"

Li Zhen told the whole story in detail, and Li Ji nodded repeatedly. This kid is not bad.

"Well, although I think this is very good as a father, we must not act recklessly.

How about this, since you discovered it, go to Luoxia Town to find the person who invented steamed buns tomorrow, and see if you can buy the recipe from him. If he is willing to sell it to the country, then you can You've accomplished a great deal. Don't be stingy about the price when you talk to people. As long as you can improve the military rations, you can't ask for it no matter how much you spend. "

Li Zhen took the order and left, but Li Ji stroked his beard and smiled for a long time.This is also an old fox. It's not that he doesn't know the priorities, but that he wants to leave this first contribution to his son. With this contribution, Li Zhen will be able to show his face in the young generation, and the emperor will definitely take a high look at that time.

But Li Ji didn't know, on the way Li Zhen just went out the next day, he met his daily playmate Cheng Chumo, who was also the eldest son of Cheng Yaojin's family. The children of Fang Du and Changsun's family, the circle of generals is a small group of children from Cheng Yaojin, Qin Shubao, Li Ji, and Yu Chigong's family. The two groups do not fight each other, and there is another group, that is, the members of the royal family. A group of second generations, but this group is not very united. These groups are called Chang'an dudes.

Cheng Chumo heard that Li Zhen was sent out by his father on business, and he could go out of Chang'an to do things alone. He felt itchy to have nothing to do, so he left a letter to his family, relying on Li Zhen to go out of Chang'an with Li Zhen. I don't know what I would think if I knew that my son was foolishly divided by others.

Chapter 11 Mantou Enters the Palace

In the Tai Chi Hall of the Imperial Palace, when he went to court the next day, Cheng Yaojin grabbed Li Ji, grabbed his sleeve and pestered him, "You idiot, why did you let your son abduct my Dalang?" ? My children were misled by your son, you must give me an explanation today, or we will ask His Majesty for comment."

Before the emperor came, Cheng Yaojin and Li Ji became lively, and many people expressed their desire to watch. Li Ji was a little confused, and asked in surprise, "What? Chu Mo also went out with Zhen'er?"

"Still pretending here? Dalang left a letter saying that it was your uncle who sent you out, and you pretended not to know? Old Niubi, that is my son. You should say hello to me when you send him. He is still here for the time being." They are not your soldiers." Cheng Yaojin is just messing around, the two of them have a good relationship on weekdays, and some trivial matters are not enough, and Li Ji knows in his heart that this old man must want to steal a good meal from him .

"Okay, old Cheng, this is my fault. I'll just buy you a drink and make amends after I go to court." Li Ji pulled Cheng Yaojin back, and at the same time put more strength in his hands, signaling him to stop making trouble. Yao Jin is also a clever person, and he understands it immediately.

But by coincidence, at this time, the emperor Li Er came to court and bumped into him.

"Hey, Maogong, Zhijie, who are you? The two old brothers are arguing, what's the matter?"

Before the two could answer, Yu Chigong, who was laughing for a long time, said: "Mao Gong sent his son and Cheng Chumo to work together, and Lao Cheng is not happy, so he is looking for faults here, hahaha, everyone can see that it is true." Old Cheng"

"You old black, want you to talk too much? Your Majesty, we"

Cheng Yaojin scolded Yu Chigong, wanting to explain, but Li Er waved his hand and said: "What is this? Old Cheng, you are the same. As an uncle, Mao Gong can't command Chu Mo? I'm afraid you are finding fault with drinking.

By the way, Mao Gong, what did you let the two brats do?The two of them have not completed their military training, what can they do? "
