"This brother is polite, under Li Zhen, dare to ask what is in your hand?
It's really fresh, it depends on the taste of your food, can you tell me about it. ”When Boss Hu heard this, he laughed, "Gongzi Li is polite, just call me Lao Hu."
This thing is called steamed bread, which I bought in a place called Luoxia Town in Zheng County, Huazhou, in the east, and was invented by a shopkeeper who opened an inn.You are really discerning, this thing is soft and sweet, very delicious, and the price is not expensive, three for a penny, or made of pure white flour, the key is that you don't look at this thing, but it is more than the stiff bread to carry things. ”Oh?
One or three is really not expensive, but it is so unusual?
Delicious or carrying?
Hearing this, Li Zhen's heart moved.Boss Hu is also a shrewd person, and hurriedly took out another one from the blanket and handed it over, "If you don't dislike being vulgar, give you a taste, and you will know how to try the facts." ”"Oh, this is abrupt, this is your ration, how can I be good" "It's okay, this thing is cheap and affordable, suitable for making dry food for the road, I came back this time to buy more, I still have a lot of it, Childe please eat, it's nothing." ”This Li Zhen is also refreshing, there is no noble son's style at all, he took the steamed bun and took a bite directly, huh?
It's really, it's nice to taste, it's really fluffy.Soon a steamed bun was in his stomach, Li Zhen loved it in his heart, Boss Hu kept nodding on the side, I didn't expect that a rich boy could eat the same thing with poor people like me, this son is good."
Haha, Childe is really approachable, Lao Hu admires, this steamed bun has been two days now, and the taste is slightly worse, in fact, it is the most delicious to eat when it is just out of the pot, but if this cold is steamed on the steamer again, it is also delicious.I don't have much knowledge of Lao Hu, but I don't even have Chang'an City in my memory. ”Hearing this, the son was even more surprised, and had an idea in his heart, bowed to Boss Hu, and was so frightened that the other party hurriedly gave way."
Boss Hu, I have a reluctant request to buy your bag of steamed buns, I don't know if you can cut your love?
You can rest assured, you will not lose money, this is a tael of silver. ”Seeing that the other party was so generous, it really surprised Boss Hu, but he shook his head and didn't accept the two pieces of silver, Li Gongzi was a little puzzled, and he was still a little worried in his heart, could it be that the other party was unwilling to cut love?"
Childe, where are you talking about this?
Although these two pieces of silver are valuable, Lao Hu does not dare to forget his conscience, it is just a few steamed buns, if you can afford it, I will leave a few for the children in the family to taste, and the rest will be given to you. ”Seeing that the other party was so sincere, 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 to look at the shopkeeper in the leather store."
Boss Hu, the appraisal has been completed, you have given you a tael of silver for these fragmentary mountain goods, this intact red fox skin is a first-class good, and it will cost you five taels of silver, a total of six taels of silver, what do you think?"
The shopkeeper shouted to Boss Hu.Boss Hu was overjoyed when he heard the price, he originally only thought that he could sell it for four taels of silver, but today he was really lucky, "Hehe, Shopkeeper Li is really a real person, your price is fair, how can Lao Hu refuse?"
So be it. ”Boss Hu, who had collected the money, happily said goodbye to a few people.Seeing his mother nodding to indicate that he had chosen, Li Zhen took out the silver money and handed it over, and said to the shopkeeper: "Thank you for the shopkeeper's help, help me to load these steamed buns with me so that I can take them away, and you can sew the leather goods of your mother and send them 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 General Li Ji of the British Gong, no wonder he has such a upbringing, but I don't know what the son did when he bought that steamed bun?
Who can look down on this inferior food for a rich boy?
Li Zhen, who returned home, did not delay, almost trotted all the way to the study to find his father, the British Duke of the Tang Dynasty, Li Ji, also as Li Ji, Li Ji's original name was Xu Shiji, and the word Mao Gong is also the Wagangzhai Taoist military master Xu Mao Gong in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and 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 scolding came from the study, "What kind of system is it that is panicking?"
My father has taught you many times, and the man will immediately take fame, don't covet the prosperity and wealth of the world, what good things are so out of shape?
Could it be that you've been messing around with a bunch of kids all day long?
”Li Zhen was uncharacteristically not afraid, but boldly walked in and put the things in his arms directly on his father Li Ji's bookcase.The middle-aged man who was holding 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?"
How did you come back so quickly?
What is this?
Knowing all day long that playthings are demoralized, it's really "Huh?
Before he finished speaking, Li Ji opened the package, and there were a few white breads inside, but they were not bread cakes."
What is this?""
This is the dry food that the child bought by chance on the street today, and I had a flash of inspiration that I might as well use it as dry food for the march, and my father might as well taste it."
Li Zhen introduced.What?
Dry rations for the march?"
Hehe, my son is out of breath, and he even knows how to contribute to the country, whether it is successful or not, your father will praise you."
As he spoke, Li Ji picked up a steamed bun and took a bite, only to know after tasting it, yes, the taste and texture are all good, such good things, there must be nothing to say about making marching dry food, how strong is it than today's hard dough cakes."
Good thing, tell me quickly, where did you get this thing?
What are your good ideas?
”Li Zhen told the story of the incident in 1510, and Li Ji nodded again and again when he heard it, this kid is good."
Well, though the Father thinks it is very good, we must not act rashly.In this way, since you found it, tomorrow you will personally go to Luoxia Town to find the person who invented steamed buns, and see if you can buy the recipe from him, if he is willing to sell it to the country, then you have made a great contribution, don't be stingy with the price when talking to people, as long as you can improve the military food, this is not something that can be studied. ”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 he wants to leave this first credit to his son, with this credit, Li Zhen will be able to show his face in his young stubble, and the emperor will inevitably look down on him at that time.But Li Ji didn't know, on the way out of Li Zhen the next day, he met his daily playmate Cheng Chumo, that is, the eldest son of Cheng Biting Jin's family, the second generation of officials in the Tang Dynasty is divided into several circles, among which the courtier's circle is the children of Fang Du and the eldest grandson, and the military generals circle is a small gang of Cheng Biting Jin, Qin Shubao, Li Ji, and Wei Chigong's children.Cheng Chu listened silently, Li Zhen was sent out by his father on a business trip, and he could go out of Chang'an to do things alone, and he was also itching when he had nothing to do, so he left a letter to his family, and followed Li Zhen out of Chang'an.
