Chapter 1612 Buying horse bones for thousands of pounds (1)
Digging potatoes is a very enjoyable thing, especially when digging for the first time, it will make people feel like they are like buying bosses in later generations.
However, after digging, the feeling of back pain and leg cramps will make people feel painful. After all, Lao Li is over 40 years old. His pampered life has made the old man's body bloated when he fought on the battlefield, and at the same time, his body has become less strong.
So when the potatoes were dug out, the great His Majesty Li Er rubbed his old waist that was about to be broken, and said to Queen Changsun in pain and joyfully: "I really miscalculated this time! If I had known that the potatoes had such a high yield, I should have called all the old things to let them see what the real auspiciousness is. Don't fool me with those pigs with gold pieces every day."
"Your Majesty is thinking too much." Empress Changsun mainly helped the old man dig potatoes, so she didn't feel too tired. She sat next to Li Er and comforted him with a smile.
"Huh, I won't talk about this anymore." The old man waved his hand and signaled that Empress Changsun was just sighing for a moment, then looked at Li Chengqian standing aside: "How do you want to eat this thing? You can't just chew it like this, right?"
"Father, these potatoes are good things, especially when stewed with beef, which tastes so good that the gods can descend to earth!" Thinking that he hadn't eaten beef stewed with potatoes for more than ten years, Li Chengqian said while looking at the old man with a bright look, as if he was waiting for Old Li's order.
However, the poor kid was waiting for the old man's disdainful eyes: "Have you eaten with me on your back? Otherwise, how would you know?"
Routine, this is a routine! Unexpectedly, the old man would also play routines, Li Chengqian was in tears, and laughter came from Empress Changsun's fear of the world being in chaos.
But Xiao Li couldn't help but answer the old man's question. When hesitated, he saw Kapil on the side, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind: "Father, how can I have the courage? Didn't this all listen to that guy?"
"Ah?" Kapil turned his head in confusion, but under Li Chengqian's threatening gaze, he had no room for resistance. He could only say with a tough bullet and said, "Your Majesty, yes, it's what I said."
"Oh!" How could Old Li not see the trick between Li Chengqian and Kapil? However, considering that exposing Li Chengqian's lies was meaningless, His Majesty Li Er pretended to believe it.
But Li Chengqian heard something from the old man's long sound of 'Oh'. When his eyes turned, he immediately thought of something and leaned over to Li Er with salivation: "Father, a few days ago, a cow in Erchen's mansion accidentally broke his leg. It's a waste of weeds to raise. I wonder if it can be disposed of?"
"Has the cow leg broken?" A smile flashed in Li Er's eyes.
"And!" Xiao Li nodded.
If the great His Majesty Li Er wants to try the taste of beef stewed with potatoes, the beef must have one leg broken, and even if it is not broken, it will be broken.
...
Two hours later, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, Chai Shao, Li Jing and other groups of old guys gathered in Li Chengqian's Qin Palace to stage a "Cooking sheep and slaughtering cattle and having fun, you have to drink three hundred cups at a time".
The soft potatoes were stewed so much that they were most loved by a group of old guys. Li Chengqian looked helplessly at the potatoes left behind as seeds that were about to be seeds and were less crying.
These old guys are so edible that nearly one-tenth of the potatoes were killed by them.
Moreover, these old guys even had to take food and take it home if they didn’t want to eat it themselves.
A meal of potato beef that was not very rare in later generations made Li Chengqian lose two cows and three hundred kilograms of potatoes, which is not the nearly a hundred ears of corn eaten by the old people.
After this dinner, all the vicious old guys were labeled unpopular by Li Chengqian.
But these old men had no self-consciousness at all. Facing Li Chengqian's disgusting eyes, they didn't even tell me whether they were eating or not, but finally beat the chef at home just to not eat the so-called spicy tofu.
But poor Li Chengqian didn't get anything because he had to be busy guiding the chef to cook, and when it was his turn to serve the table, it was already a mess.
"Chengqian, why didn't you take out such good things earlier? If His Majesty hadn't sent someone to find me this time, would you still want to hide these things forever?" Changsun Wuji obviously drank a little high and pulled Li Chengqian to chatter.
As a result, before Changsun Wuji finished speaking, Li Chengqian was pulled away by another old man: "Your Highness, these potatoes and corn are all good things. We must cultivate them well and strive to make it possible for all the people of the Tang Dynasty to enjoy them as soon as possible."
"Good things are of course good things. When you go back, your highness will get some seeds to my husband's house. When the autumn day comes, I can eat this kind of delicacy every day!"
"You starve your parents to death and don't eat to grow food! You are still a senior official in the court. Do you only know how to satisfy your desires but ignore the people? You took them away and didn't know how much food you had for the meal you had lost in the next year."
“…”
A group of old drinkers scolded each other with a lot of words, and Li Chengqian felt a lot of pain in her toothache.
Since I know that things are good things and people of the Tang Dynasty, why didn’t I eat less when I just ate? Now I have enough food to eat and drink and I know that I am thinking about the people?
But even though he thought about it, Li Chengqian didn't dare to say it out. Otherwise, God would know what these old guys would do in anger. What if anyone wants to do something to commit suicide to thank the world, his father wouldn't have to peel it off?
...
Kapil was in a fire, and it was very hot overnight.
An unknown alien race was awarded the title of founding county duke because of some unknown seeds, which made the ghost man famous overnight and became a household name in Chang'an City.
With Kapil's overnight fame, countless "head-down tribes" were added outside Chang'an City. These "head-down tribes" traveled every inch of land outside Chang'an City, hoping to find some undiscovered crops.
But in the end, apart from some weeds, these guys who wanted to take advantage of the situation did not find anything.
After hearing the news, Li Chengqian just raised his eyebrows, laughing in his heart while making a move of money, but he had no intention of stopping this behavior.
It’s not that he really hopes that those guys can discover rare species. On the contrary, Xiao Li knew very well that these people could not find anything. The reason why he did not stop this behavior was just to buy horse bones again.
