I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

Li Tai is no stranger to "Tongfu Restaurant".

Knowing that it is the place where his father often goes, not only his father, but also his grandfather, his brother, and his two sisters often go there.

Especially his two older sisters are almost living in that restaurant.

But what I heard is what I heard, he has never been there.

Not uninterested.

But Li Chengqian was the first example. His eldest brother was not welcomed by the store, and after he passed, he was left in the cold by the store.

It is said that the shopkeepers are not very willing to talk to him.

Although his elder brother, like his father, did not reveal his identity, he was just not welcomed by the store as an ordinary person, and he didn't know the reason.

But. After all, he is a brother of the same father and mother, and Li Tai is not sure whether he will receive the same treatment as his elder brother. In addition, the diners also said that it is not a good time to recruit that gentleman.

So Li Tai never visited.

But... some didn't expect that, even so, they still couldn't bypass that shopkeeper.

"He wrote this book?" Li Tai was a little surprised, a little hard to imagine that a person who is quite accomplished in arithmetic, poetry, and cooking, even knows geography.

The servant nodded.

Li Tai frowned, and asked again: "Why did he write such a book?" His face was serious, but he was a little secretly happy.

I wondered, could it be that because I heard that he, the king of Wei, wanted to compile the news of Geography, so I deliberately wrote it out as a certificate of nomination?
The attendant's words shattered Li Tai's illusions. He opened his mouth and replied softly, "Your Highness, your uncle and the store opened a shop called Linlang Pavilion."

"They do business with Hu people, they don't need Tang money, they only need resources, and this booklet is the resource written by the shopkeeper for Hu people to trade."

Li Tai was taken aback for a moment, then lowered his head to look at the booklet in his hand.

This was another answer that was somewhat unexpected.

Um.
It's reasonable.

After thinking for a while, Li Tai suddenly opened his mouth and asked softly, "That shopkeeper never accepts apprentices?"

The attendant replied: "Yes."

"On the other hand, Fang Pushe and eldest grandson Sikong sent their two daughters there to study behind the shop owner, but like His Highness's two eldest sisters, they are not called masters and apprentices."

Li Tai patted his belly, feeling a little emotional, even if he was cut off, he would be just an eunuch, not a girl.And even if he can become a girl, the store probably won't like his chubby type?
He tilted his head and thought for a while: "What do you think about asking my father to speak up, intercede for me, and learn from the store as a teacher?"

The attendant shook his head: "I think it's not right."

"Your Majesty is nothing more than an ordinary diner to the store."

After speaking, he paused, and said cautiously: "The shop owner has always been a little disgusted with His Majesty. He thinks that he has a bad mouth, bullies his daughter, and often asks some strange questions."

"Your Majesty's face in front of the store is not as good as that of the two princesses."

Li Tai pursed his lips.

Could it be that he wants to plead with those two sisters?But... I don't know those two elder sisters very well. Except for the ancestor sacrifices and heaven sacrifices, we can see each other, and we hardly speak on weekdays.

The attendant raised another sentence from the side: "His Royal Highness, asking that shopkeeper for advice is also part of your study, and asking talented people for advice can show your heart and desire to learn."

"However, if you need to seek help from others to learn from a teacher, you will be inferior to His Majesty."

Li Tai smacked his lips.

It is also not the point whether to repair the book or not, the point is his evaluation from the father.

Even if the book is not finished in the end, as long as it can win a good evaluation from the father and leave a capable impression, that is the best ending.

So you still have to ask yourself.

But here comes the problem again
Should I disguise my identity, pretend to be an ordinary fat man, and ask the shopkeeper for advice, or should I not disguise my identity?

Li Tai fell into deep thought.

He is an extremely smart person, especially what the attendant said just now was still lingering in his ears, which made him quickly make up his mind.

What he wanted was his father's evaluation of him. Since that was the case, why did he hide his identity?
An ordinary person asks a shopkeeper for advice, how can a prince be so sincere as to ask a white clothed cloth for advice?

three days later.

Yin Xuan had finalized the milk tea recipe and was about to instruct Ji Wen to write it down and sell it as a new product when a resplendent carriage stopped at the entrance of the restaurant.

The guests in the restaurant couldn't help but look sideways and looked over one after another.

Especially when they saw that there were four horses pulling the cart, they couldn't help holding their breath, their eyes full of astonishment.

Horse-drawn carriages are regulated by etiquette.

The emperor has six drivers, that is to say, the emperor's carriage is only pulled by six horses, and the four-rider carriage can enjoy such treatment in the entire Tang Dynasty, and only the princes and dukes of the state can enjoy such treatment.

The people in the restaurant suddenly turned their gazes to Duan Guan who was also at a loss sitting on the table.

Could it be that Mr. Duan was too ostentatious and deceitful in the name of his father, and that Mr. Duan finally couldn't stand it anymore and planned to come over to deal with his son himself?

Duan Guan blinked and looked at other eyes, he also had the same suspicion.

But when he asked himself, Duan Guan felt that he had been very low-key during this time, and usually came over to eat silently, and never said much.

This restaurant is very scary, what kind of duke, emperor, or overlord.

All the real dragons pretended to be sheep.

It should not be his father.

But the dukes and princes in the court did not all disguise their identities tacitly, at least His Majesty concealed his identity, who dares to be so ostentatious?
More shameless than Duan Guan, more ostentatious than Duan Guan?

Soon, people knew who the owner of this carriage was, a naive little fat man, who climbed out of the carriage and was wearing a neat dress.

The guests in the restaurant were taken aback for a moment, and sitting in such a carriage at this age, he should be the emperor's son?
What is the emperor's son doing here?
Li Yuan and Li Jing were taken aback for a moment, they were very familiar with Li Tai, even Li Yuan recognized his grandson when he saw that chubby figure before Li Tai got off the carriage.

Li Chengqian also looked at his younger brother dumbfounded.

what happened?

My younger brother is a very smart kid, he should also know that his father is hiding his identity here, what does he want to come here so openly?
Where does this put the father?

Li Chengqian suddenly felt complacent and laughed.
