Chapter 51: The poor have never eaten
Wei Zheng had no choice but to be surprised.
The young man in front of him was so similar to His Majesty when he was young.
Could it be...
It is impossible, this young man is about the same age as the prince.
Sixteen years ago, when His Majesty was the King of Qin, his every move was under the surveillance of Prince Jiancheng.
It is absolutely impossible for an illegitimate child to appear!
Wei Zheng immediately denied his previous speculation.
Sixteen years ago, the world was built with the prince. Even if the King of Qin went to the toilet, news would be heard.
What's more, it's a big deal like an illegitimate child?
I think it’s not strange that all living beings in the world look like each other!
"Old Wei, are you sick? I was shocked?" Li Shimin glared at Wei Zheng and said lightly.
"Hehe, I was bitten by a mosquito just now and it hurts to death." Wei Zheng said with a smile, covering up his inner surging.
But his eyes continued to look at Zhao Chen ahead.
I thought to myself that this is what Your Majesty mentioned to be an immortal disciple?
"Brother Zhao, you just said you had been waiting for me for a long time. What does it mean?" Li Shimin looked happy and walked into the tavern slowly with his hands on his back.
"What is this?" Zhao Chen glanced at Wei Zheng and felt that this man was a stubborn donkey.
"Old Wei, the housekeeper of my hometown, came from Shu not long ago. Today, I have time, so I will bring him to your place for dinner." Li Shimin explained casually.
"That's it." Zhao Chen nodded, turned around and entered the tavern.
Wei Zheng, who was about to say a few words, was so mean and shattered.
This man is so unpolite!
Wei Zheng was unhappy, but followed him in again.
The three of them sat down, but Zhao Chen did not speak immediately.
Uncle Fu just went to the kitchen to cook.
"Brother Zhao, are you looking for someone if you have something to do?" Li Shimin looked at Zhao Chen curiously.
If it weren't for something to look for him, Zhao Chen wouldn't have said what he had been waiting for him for a long time.
Li Shimin is a little excited now.
This kid finally asked something to him?
This time, no matter how you say it, you must let this kid taste the opportunity to ask for help.
Think about myself, with Zhao Chen, all his face was lost!
Now, it's my turn.
"No hurry, let's talk about it after dinner." Zhao Chen smiled faintly and said slowly.
Li Shimin whispered twice, and was about to ask questions, but he thought about it and let it go.
If Zhao Chen doesn't say it, it will be useless even if he is curious.
"Two guests, the food is here."
"Young Master, your porridge is ready, while it's hot!" Uncle Fu sent the dishes and a bowl of porridge.
The porridge is for Zhao Chen.
In the summer, drinking some porridge is good for Zhao Chen's body.
"It smells so good, this is pork. What is this green thing?" Wei Zheng took a sudden breath and coughed.
The spicy taste made his throat numb.
Fortunately, Wei Zheng ran aside in time, otherwise Li Shimin would have cut off his head.
How could it be ruined at will if it is so delicious?
However, seeing Zhao Chen only drank a bowl of porridge, Li Shimin felt a little distressed.
If Zhao Chen had good health, he wouldn't have to eat so lightly.
After coughing for a while, Wei Zheng left and his face turned a little red.
"Old Wei, this is fried pork with chili peppers, which tastes great. When I first ate it, I ate several bowls of rice."
"You are blessed today." Li Shimin said with a smile.
Fried peppers with meat, just thinking about it, Li Shimin felt that saliva was about to flow out of his mouth.
Wei Zheng half-believed and half-doubtedly picked up a chopstick and put it into his mouth.
At first, they were still tempted, but then the two of them kept chewing Wei Zheng.
Before Li Shimin could speak, the chopsticks in his hand reached into the plate again.
"Old Wei, does the taste taste OK?" Li Shimin smiled proudly.
I have tasted this taste earlier than them.
Wei Zheng didn't speak at all, and he didn't stop the chopsticks in his hand.
Li Shimin was stunned.
This old man is so shameless.
This is to swallow all the dishes for him!
"Old Wei, stop it!" Li Shimin scolded.
If others saw Wei Zheng like this, wouldn’t he say that his ministers in the Tang Dynasty were so poor that they had never even eaten food?
Li Shimin felt embarrassed to say it out.
Wei Zhengke had never eaten such a delicious dish.
Thinking that since His Majesty the Emperor was yelling so casually on the street just now, what if I eat more?
Anyway, shameless, it is also the beginning of His Majesty the Emperor.
Zhao Chen was also a little stunned.
The housekeeper brought by Old Li is really stranger than the other.
Old Zhang was still like a human before, and Old Wei didn't even need to pay attention to Old Li.
Lao Li’s family tradition needs to be strengthened!
Zhao Chen didn't care about the guys in front of him who almost got into a fight because of a few dishes, and was eating his own meal on his own.
Not long after, the two of them finally had enough food and drink.
They touched their stomachs one by one, as if they were so full that they couldn't even breathe much.
"Are you full?" Zhao Chen put down the bowls and chopsticks and said to the two of them.
"When you are full, your belly will be bulging even if you eat it." Li Shimin waved his hand, looking tired and lazy.
Wei Zheng didn't speak, and he was so persistent that he couldn't speak at this moment.
But his eyes were looking at Zhao Chen.
"How does this chili taste?" Zhao Chen continued to ask.
"Okay, this chili is the best thing someone has ever eaten!" Wei Zheng said.
And it is sincere, without a single word of flattery.
Li Shimin also nodded.
But he was also a little surprised. Today, Zhao Chen seemed to have talked a little more than before.
"Then how about this chili pepper?" Zhao Chen asked again.
"Pepper?" Li Shimin was stunned for a moment.
I reacted instantly.
Pepper was priced at gold in the Tang Dynasty, and only wealthy families could use it.
For ordinary people, don’t even think about this.
The annual output of pepper is very small, which is a scarce resource for the Tang Dynasty.
Li Shimin mostly treated the peppers that were tributed as rewards and distributed to some meritorious ministers.
But when it comes to this chili, Li Shimin thinks it is more delicious than pepper.
Moreover, it doesn't seem too expensive.
Because Zhao Chen didn't charge him much money.
But Zhao Chen suddenly talked about this matter, could it be...
"Old Li, I have two businesses today, I want to talk to you." Zhao Chen smiled and stretched out his two fingers and said to Li Shimin.
"Which two businesses?" Li Shimin's eyes lit up slightly, as if he was extremely curious about the business Zhao Chen said.
I think so, which one of the things that can be taken from Zhao Chen is extremely satisfied with Li Shimin?
Wei Zheng looked at Zhao Chen and couldn't believe it.
This young man actually wanted to do business with His Majesty.
And it is really strange that Your Majesty is so eager.
"Tell me the first one first." Zhao Chen spoke, pointed to the empty plate and said, "Grow chili peppers."
"What?"
"Growing chili peppers?" Li Shimin was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, plant chili peppers." Zhao Chen nodded and continued: "The price of peppers in the Tang Dynasty is more expensive than gold, and ordinary people cannot afford them."
"Pepper can remove the cold and eat it to improve physical fitness. Can some people in the Tang Dynasty afford to eat it?"
