Chapter Thirty-Five The Trial Begins

This was the first time Li Shimin heard the name Tao Jin, and it was also the beginning of Tao Jin's entry into the sight of the Tang Dynasty rulers.

Tao Jin, who was far away in the suburbs of Chang'an City, didn't know that his name had been remembered by the wise king Li Shimin. At this time, he was thinking about how to sell his food.

Good marketing methods are the prerequisite for sales performance. Tao Jin has been a small vendor for so long in his previous life, so he naturally understands this principle.

So after Tao Jin had a meal, cleaned up the dishes and went to contact Mr. Tan and his wife. Because there were some things that he could not do by himself, but others could do.

Old Man Tan and his wife ate this meal with oil all over the mouth, and the food was removed, and they still savored the taste in their hearts.

The shopkeepers' houses are all in the same yard, and the weather is hot, so the doors and other things are not closed. Tao Jin knocked on the open door and went in directly.

When Old Man Tan and his wife saw Tao Jin coming, they were a little restrained and hurriedly gave up their seats. Tao Jin sat down against the table. They didn't know why Tao Jin came, and they didn't dare to speak, for fear that Tao Jin would be unhappy and that their son would no longer have a job.

Tao Jin saw their nervousness, smiled and said, "How is it, is the food still delicious?"

"It's delicious! We have never eaten such delicious things in our lives!" Old Man Tan touched his mouth and said. The village households would not say anything nice, but just honestly said what they were thinking in their hearts.

Tao Jin nodded with satisfaction. Old Man Tan’s boss looked at Old Man Tan with a angrily, saying that he spoke too directly, for fear that Tao Jin would be unhappy after hearing this.

Actually, Tao Jin would be unhappy. He was happy after hearing this! "I like to listen to the old man, it's interesting!" Seeing the meaning of Old Man Tan's wife, Tao Jin explained again.

Old Man Tan smiled proudly at his wife. Tao Jin looked at the tacit understanding between the old couple, smiled again, and then said, "Do you like eating the dishes I sent?"

"Of course I like that. After we had bite, we were a little reluctant to eat it, for fear that we would never eat it again!" Because of Tao Jin's appreciation just now, the old man had no scruples when he spoke this time, and his wife nodded to Old Man Tan's words, saying that she also agreed.

"Then do you want to eat this dish in the future?" Tao Jin asked with a smile on his lips.

"There is such a good thing there. We are just poor families. How can you always make food?" Although Old Man Tan and his wife like Tao Jin's dishes, they are not confused people.

"Old man, do you think this is good? I will give you some dishes to eat with you and your mother-in-law every day." Tao Jin said with a bright smile on the corner of his mouth after hearing this.

If this person understands his duty in everything, then this person can be used. In fact, Tao Jin's little question was to see if the old man Tan and his wife were those who were unrestrained. If so, they could not let their affairs do it, at least they could not be able to pull them.

"What do you want us to do? I am so sorry for accepting the favors of others for nothing!" Old Man Tan did not disappoint Tao Jin and asked Tao Jin's purpose directly.

Tao Jin was satisfied, and took a sip of the water handed over by Old Man Tan, and then said, "Actually it's nothing. I just want to cook some dishes and you go to the city to sell them. You can have people try them for free in the first three days, but each person has a limit, only one small plate is allowed. After three days, you will charge five cents for each small plate, and you will only charge two cents for a month. For five cents per plate, I will only charge two cents for some capital, and the rest will belong to you, and I will also take care of your meal. Of course, if you can't sell it, you will pay me, and I will calculate your wages for you. Are you willing?"

At this time, it was the beginning of the Tang Dynasty. The most expensive thing was nothing else, it was really food. Even if Tao Jin didn't say that he was paying wages, he was just feeding food, so Old Man Tan was willing.

We had all the good things in our stall. Old Man Tan thought happily and agreed without making any jokes.

Tao Jin felt so beautiful, but in fact, the capital of these two papers was not used. Because except for the oil, the vegetables in the field were everywhere. The most expensive one was not the vegetables, but the staple food. And that small plate could only serve a few vegetables, and it was not enough to use anything. The vegetables from the big pot didn’t cost much oil.

Tao Jinmei here, and Old Man Tan and his wife were also beautiful. After this, Tao Jin must prepare some dishes, which was the early investment. Of course, Tao Jin was not interested in the present, but the benefits after the restaurant really opened in the future.

When Yuanbao came back, he took back all the useful things. Fortunately, Old Man Tan's son helped him, otherwise he would not be able to get them back alone. After entering the house, Yuanbao looked around but didn't see Tao Jin. Finally, he went to the well to fetch water before seeing Tao Jin.

Tao Jinwu was playing a large pot of vegetables and was washing there. Yuanbao ran over in shock and shouted, "Young Master, what are you doing? You are the young master!"

"What a lot of young masters are you? I am just a person who needs to make a living, there are so many rules there!" Tao Jin said, but he didn't stop for a moment.

"Have you brought it back?" Tao Jin asked while washing the vegetables. Yuanbao agreed in a muffled voice. Tao Jin knew that Yuanbao was unhappy. He also knew that in Yuanbao's heart, he should have lived like a young master, but after so much, if he was really the real "Tao Jin", that young master Yangzi, I'm afraid he would die many times.

After understanding the dishes in his hand, Tao Jin turned around and looked at Yuanbao with a gloomy face, sighed and said, "Yuanbao, I am not the young master of the Tao family. If we want to live a good life in the future and become a young master again, we have to work hard and endure it first. Only by enduring it will it be done, do you know?" Tao Jin said a little sensational, but it was all the feelings in his heart. Because these are what he kept telling himself when he was a small vendor.

Yuanbao's eyes were red and his voice was a little hoarse, and he said, "Young Master, I think you are too wronged. How can you do these things in the future? You can keep these jobs for Yuanbao!"

"I'll do a lot in the future, you think that's all! I'm going to do big business in the future. Please be smarter. I'll still wait for you to be a big shopkeeper for me in the future!" After Tao Jin complained, he also offered some motivation, and Yuanbao's mood improved a little.

"We will cook at home early tomorrow morning and then prepare it, so that Mr. Tan and the others will try the dishes as I thought before. When our restaurant opens, we will not have to worry about the business, and we will be able to fill every day!" Tao Jin said to Yuanbao with confidence.

"Well, I understand, Young Master." Yuanbao snatched the basin that Tao Jin was carrying, carried it himself, and entered the house with Tao Jin. Tao Jin took out the meal from the insulated box he made, and Yuanbao's eyes turned red again.

Tao Jin looked at him and thought to himself: After all, it was a child's character! Looking at the fragrant ingot eating, Tao Jin also felt a little hungry, so he snatched it with Yuanbao after adding a bowl of rice.

After eating, they were full of stomachs and both of them burped. Tao Jin sighed in his heart, "After that people eat more and more, it's good to eat! Yuanbao looked at Tao Jin and said, "Young Master, if Mr. Yuchi is here, I'm afraid that this dish will not be able to wait for me to come back, right?"

"It's not so. If he were there, I was afraid that he would eat everything I made to try the dishes! Now, I don't know how it is going on there?" Tao Jin was still thinking about Yuchi Gong. Although he didn't think about it all the time, he could always remember it.

Tao Jin patted his head and thought to himself: That is the future Duke. Do you think he can open a restaurant with you!

In Beim Mountain, Luoyang, when the King of Qi brought a group of so-called people who came all the way, he arrived in front of King Li Shimin of Qin, Shan Xiongxin didn't know how far he had gone.

Li Yuanji asked Li Shimin about his well-being and carefully inquired about the battle situation. When he heard that it was Yuchi Gong who saved Li Shimin, a dark light flashed in Li Yuanji's narrow eyes.

"Second brother is so lucky. I met General Yuchi, otherwise this matter would be dangerous! But Shan Xiongxin, since he was captured alive, why should he let him go? Isn't the second brother afraid of letting the tiger go back to the mountain?" Without Li Shimin's expectations, Li Yuanji really mentioned Shan Xiongxin.

Yuchi Gong stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Your Highness King Qi, I, Yuchi Gong, are a rough man and don't understand any great principles. I just thought that I was anxious about Your Highness King Qin today, so I was inauthentic and felt that I had lost someone, so I let him go. Your Highness King Qi, if you want to blame me, blame me!"

"How can you blame you? If you hadn't saved me today, I'd be the one who had become a prisoner!" Before Li Yuanji could speak, Li Shimin opened his mouth first.

When King Li Yuanji of Qi heard this, he just smiled warmly and said, "Of course I can't blame this!" But the chill in his eyes became more and more intense.

After all this trouble, Yuchi Gong naturally returned to the Tang camp, but this time it was different from before. At this time, no one dared to suspect Yuchi Gong for a moment.

Yuchi Gong followed Li Shimin and others along the way, and suddenly slapped his head and shouted, "How to forget him!" As he said that, he asked Li Shimin a leave and hurriedly searched for him.

Li Shimin didn't know why, but he just slowed down the marching speed. Yuchi Gong was also very fast. He came back in a short time, but he was not alone.

A villain, who lowered his head, was brought back by Yuchi Gong without looking up. It was the man who followed Yuchi Gong all the way.
