I opened a tavern in Datang/Datang: My peerless talent was exposed

When eating, it is natural to peel it and dip it in the sauce to eat. The white shrimp tail meat tremblingly dips into the prepared sauce, even if you don't eat it, it is a pleasure to look at.

When it was handed to Hongyu's mouth, the girl was still a little embarrassed, she took a peek at the others, and then opened her mouth sweetly and bit it down.

As soon as I entered the mouth, the original firmness of the shrimp meat combined with the saltiness of the sauce completely bloomed on the tip of the tongue. The original shrimp meat seemed to be still beating, turning over and over in the mouth.

Li Shimin secretly blushed when he saw this scene. Damn, he just chewed a whole shrimp in his mouth, and he was still complaining to himself that the shrimp was tasteless. I dare not eat it the right way!

The others had actually seen it more or less just now, and now they finally understood what the dark thing in the small plate at hand was.

Concubine Yang secretly took a sip of it as a child before, it was so salty that her whole face almost wrinkled, only now did she realize that it was a condiment for a side dish.

Li Yuan's favorite is the large pot of beef brisket stewed with potatoes in the middle. The soft beef is tender and juicy. With the help of the pressure cooker, the beef that has been stewed soft and paired with soft and delicious potatoes is simply the most delicious delicacy in winter.

As he is getting older, he likes this kind of soft and glutinous food the most, and he finds that this soup is a perfect match with the crystal clear rice in the bowl.

After he probably tasted other dishes on the table, he basically ate this one alone, and he even felt that he could eat this one dish for a year.

"Brother Zhang, what is this dish in the middle? I eat a lot of delicacies from mountains and seas. I only know that the meat in the middle is beef, but what are those pieces?"

Zhang Nuo was taken aback when he heard Li Yuan's question, what the hell, I forgot this.

Potatoes are like fairy food in this era. The pumpkins he prepared before are nothing compared to this one.

Not to mention the high yield, the key is that potatoes are carbohydrates. As an artifact of growing flesh that is hated by people in later generations, it is a life-saving food in this era.

The most important thing is that potatoes are very easy to grow. Basically, you don’t need to spend too much effort to harvest three to five thousand catties per mu, and they can also be stored.

Not to mention that this thing can also be used to make starch and vermicelli. There are dozens of ways to eat it that Zhang Nuo alone knows.

Baked, boiled, fried, steamed, fried, it seems that as long as the cooking method can be imagined, it can be realized on potatoes.

Thinking of this, Zhang Nuo suddenly laughed, and pretended to be mysterious and said,

"Uncle Li, you're right if you don't know him. This is the fairy food that I plan to use to exchange my title with His Majesty next year!"

Hearing the word immortal food, Li Shimin stopped his chopsticks and looked at Zhang Nuo seriously.

As a qualified emperor, the most important thing is to feed and clothe the people of the world, because only in this way can no one rebel.

This is why every famine keeps the emperor awake at night. When people are hungry, they can really do anything.

The collapse of the former Sui Dynasty was largely due to the famine. The famine at the end of the Sui Dynasty had already made people eat their own children. So what is there to be afraid of in that field?

Since there is no way for the officials to save them, and both the left and the right are dead, it is better to risk your life and fight, maybe you can survive.

Therefore, when he heard that Zhang Nuoyan definitely had the immortal food that could be exchanged for the title, Li Shimin was immediately interested. This thing is good, it is much better than those mirrors that were given to the queen before.

This kind of thing is a good thing that can make Li Tang Jiangshan forever. It doesn't need much, even a good seed with five stones per mu is enough for Li Shiming to give Zhang Nuo a title immediately.

Li Shimin looked at Zhang Nuo full of excitement, and asked cautiously,

"Brother, what is the yield per mu of your fairy grain?"

Zhang Nuo slapped Li Shimin carelessly, Li Shimin was overjoyed and said repeatedly,

"Five stones? Well, well, hahaha, it's indeed immortal food!"

Li Shimin is really happy. At this time, due to the low level of agricultural technology, he is basically still in the extensive planting stage of slash-and-burn farming.

Even a skilled old farmer would have to thank God if he could produce three stones per mu at most. That is a real high yield. Now that there is a fairy grain that can produce five stones per mu, how could Li Shimin be unhappy!

But Zhang Nuo was stunned, what do you mean?Five stones?Zhang Nuo shook his hand again, then said angrily,

"Old Li, are you blind? There are five fingers dangling here, and I'm talking about fifty shi! Without this output, I have the guts to ask His Majesty for a title?"

This is not Zhang Nuo's nonsense. He probably estimated that one stone at this time is equivalent to 120 catties in later generations, so fifty stones is equal to six thousand catties in later generations.

It is really normal to produce [-] catties of potatoes per mu, okay!

Anyway, in Zhang Nuo's memory, some relatives in his hometown bought potatoes from a good variety, and there were a lot of potatoes with a yield of seven to eight thousand catties per mu!

So he still kept his words for now, otherwise, according to the best quality potato varieties in later generations, if one mu of land can produce more than 1 catties, that would be one hundred stones, and Lao Li would not have died on the spot.

Li Shimin's lips started to tremble at this moment, and he stared at Zhang Nuo as if he had suffered a stroke.

"When... really there are so... so many? Fifty stones?"

Zhang Nuo pouted angrily,

"What are you in a hurry for? You're not the emperor. I've already said that if you have fifty stones, you'll definitely have them. Then I'll have to plant them everywhere in the village to serve as food seeds. You'll know it at a glance!"

Chapter 121 Li Shimin was angry and left

Li Shimin blushed completely after hearing this, slammed the table and said loudly,

"Okay! As long as your seed really has fifty shi, your title..."

Li Shimin was about to say that I will guarantee you your title, when Li Yuan kicked him fiercely, he remembered, oh, he is not the emperor right now, so he quickly changed his tone and said,

"As long as there are fifty stones, your title will guarantee you to get them from His Majesty!"

Li Yuan also nodded, picked up a chopstick of potatoes and put them in his mouth to chew again, then said seriously,

"It's delicious. It's soft and glutinous. It's delicious and can fill your stomach. It's both vegetables and grains. For this alone, it's not difficult for Shopkeeper Zhang to get a Jianguo County Marquis. It's really a good thing!"

Zhang Nuo was overjoyed when he heard it, Master Hou is good, he is still the Lord of the founding of the country, then he will be able to walk sideways from now on, even if he meets a high-ranking official, he will not have to take turns saluting, just think about it.

But how should I put it, Zhang Nuo's old problem is like this, when he gets excited, he can't open the door,

"This is Lord Hou? I still have two kinds of fairy grain, and the yield per mu is more than [-] shi. The key is not to pick the land, sandy soil and barren slopes can be planted. If I hand over all of them, wouldn't I deserve it?" Prince?"

As soon as these words came out, the table was turned upside down, and Li Yuan almost choked to death on the piece of beef he had just eaten, and coughed repeatedly.

After finally calming down, everyone looked at Zhang Nuo dumbfounded!

One of such immortal grains is already a fluke and a blessing of the Tang Dynasty, but now there is not only one immortal grain of fifty shi, but also two?

Although the yield is only [-] shi, the key is not to pick the land. You can grow it without those familiar lands, so how much do you have to grow all over the mountains and plains?

Perhaps it was because the surprise came so suddenly that everyone couldn't believe it.

Empress Changsun no longer had the dignified look she used to, and asked earnestly and eagerly,

"Uncle, there are really two kinds of immortal food? This is not the time to joke!"

Zhang Nuo was embarrassed to roll his eyes at Empress Changsun, so he said in a low voice,

"If my sister-in-law doesn't believe me, stay with me for a while longer, and you will be able to see it in the spring of next year! It's just that there is not enough land here. There are only [-] mu in total, which is only enough to grow one species!"

Li Shimin was in a hurry immediately, if he had this fairy food, would he be afraid of losing his land?

Not to mention that there are several Huangzhuang around, as long as there is this fairy food, he would be happy even if his palace is demolished to plant the land.

"You don't need to talk about it, brother. I have done this for you. Your Majesty still has a few Huangzhuang nearby. I will take them all for you. You should do your best to get your fairy food! Is [-] mu enough?"

Zhang Nuo was taken aback, Lao Li, are you drifting away?Even dare to be the emperor's house?

Those who know that you are a member of the imperial family, but those who don't know think that the one sitting on the dragon chair is you.

But Lao Li's father and daughter-in-law are all on the sidelines, so he can't be too disrespectful to Lao Li, so Zhang Nuo said very reluctantly,

"Old Li, you still have to go back to Chang'an and report to His Majesty. Anyway, the seeds can only be planted in spring, so don't worry! It just so happens that our thieves stockade is not full of manpower right now. Let's take it easy before spring begins!"

Li Shimin was almost laughed at by Zhang Nuo!

Shopkeeper Xiao Zhang's words just now mean that he looks down on him, and thinks his words are useless!

For the first time, he felt that it was a big mistake for him to conceal his identity, and now he wished he could immediately slap Zhang Nuo on the face with an imperial decree.

Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang were also having fun at the moment, watching Li Shimin wheezing heavily.

It's been a long time since I saw His Majesty looking so out of breath. The most interesting thing is that His Majesty is still holding back his identity and can't speak directly, so there is no way to turn back.

And the most irritating thing was that Zhang Nuo, who was sitting across from him, had an expression that I was doing it for your own good, and I was thinking of you, which completely ignited Li Shimin's cannonball.

Li Shimin threw his chopsticks directly, and said in a fit of anger;

"Don't eat, I'll go back to Chang'an right now, I'll bring the imperial decree and title deed to dinner later! I just happened to bring you gold, a money-grubber!"

Li Shimin is completely blown up, he has to let this kid see how we keep our promises!

Are you kidding me, this world belongs to me, it's only tens of thousands of acres of land, and you're still worried that I won't be able to do it?

Zhang Nuo couldn't laugh or cry when Lao Li made such a move. Why is Lao Li acting like a child? He is obviously doing it for his own good, so why is he still angry?

Li Yuan was so happy. He wished that Li Shimin would go back quickly. It doesn't matter if the imperial decree is not, the key is to send him the house purchase money as soon as possible.

Li Shimin made up his mind to leave, but Zhang Nuo couldn't stop him, so he had to let him go, then looked at the crowd and said, dumbfounded,

"So, after I eat this meal, I have gained tens of thousands of acres of land?"

Li Yuan smiled and waved his hands,

"Your fairy grain is the top priority of the country. It's just a matter of allocating tens of thousands of acres of land. If there is a bumper harvest next year, that's a big deal. Just allocating tens of thousands of acres of land is nothing more than a toothpick. "

The words were rough and reasonable, everyone nodded, it was true!

From Empress Changsun's point of view, since there is such a good seed, let alone [-] mu, it is reasonable to allocate a million mu of good land.

Just the tens of thousands of acres is due to the initial planting, the scale is too large to manage and the worry about not enough grain.

Otherwise, with the temperament of her emperor's husband, I'm afraid that with a wave of her hand, there will be millions of acres of fertile land.

But this is next year, and if it is true that the yield per mu can be as low as [-] shi as the shopkeeper said next year, then needless to say, her emperor husband will definitely plant this thing all over the mountains and plains!

A good meal became a bit anticlimactic because of Li Shimin's sudden departure, but everyone didn't care, and continued to eat this rare delicacy leisurely instead.

After drinking and eating, Hongyu played mahjong with the three members of the Li family whose mahjong skills were improving by leaps and bounds. Zhang Nuo took Hongdou and Xiaomei to choose a room and told them how to use the various facilities inside.

Zhang Erniang, Liu Sanniang, Xingben, Gouzi, Lao Fang and Sun Laodao all followed and learned.

Anyway, in Zhang Nuo's opinion, Lao Li and the others are going to live in their own house, so his house will be vacant, and these servants will naturally be able to live in it.

After all, this huge house is comfortable to live in, but it is not easy to clean it!

The master bedroom on the second floor was given to the old grandson, all the female family members lived in the guest bedroom on the second floor, and Xingben and Gouzi lived on the first floor.

After spending more than half an hour inside and out, and finally letting these people know how to use and maintain all kinds of things, Zhang Nuo collapsed on the sofa like a puddle of mud, lying so comfortably!

Chapter 122 Li Shimin is depressed

Li Shimin is not joking, he is really riding a horse and galloping all the way to Chang'an himself!

The guards who had been hiding outside Zhang's mansion before did not need to cover up their figures at this time, and followed Li Shimin to gallop along the official road.

Li Shimin was also anxious at this time, not just because he wanted to get an imperial decree to allocate land to Zhang Nuo to justify his name.

What worries him the most is that he feels that he won't be able to hide his identity for a long time.

The celestial grains will have to go to the ground in the spring of next year, and when the celestial grains mature in a few months, shopkeeper Xiao Zhang must be knighted.

And the title is sure to go to court, so when we meet at that time, wouldn't it be all revealed?

Furthermore, as shopkeeper Zhang's tossing became louder and louder, his so-called status as a royal family could not stand it anymore.

The shopkeeper Xiao Zhang was originally extremely intelligent, and even a star king from the sky descended to earth, so he might find that he, the royal family, is a bit too capable after a few visits.

But it's impossible not to do these things. Could it be that he can only grow [-] mu of fairy grain that could have been planted with [-] mu?

If you know that if you add [-] mu of immortal grain, then you will be able to grow millions of mu of grain in the coming year. Who can afford it?

What's more, he also thought that he would have to attack Korea in the coming year, even though shopkeeper Xiao Zhang said he was going to Korea to rob, as long as he got Jingguan back.

But Li Shimin had a strong premonition at this time that there must be more than this small movement of the little shopkeeper, and maybe a big incident will come out.

How will it end then?

This is not a matter of tens of thousands of acres of land. This is a major military matter. Could it be possible that his "imperial relative" can be involved in military affairs?

When Li Shimin thought about it for a while, he felt his whole brain explode!

Seeing that the Tonghua Gate was in front of him, Li Shimin quickly called the knight beside him and said,

"Arrange someone to notify Auxiliary Machine, Zhijie, Shubao, and Jingde to discuss matters in Liangyi Hall!"

The knight next to him immediately arranged for four fast horses to separate from the team, this is to notify several adults at the same time.

They don't need to ask anything else, let alone worry about where the person is, as long as His Majesty orders, they will definitely find him immediately.

Li Shimin returned to the palace with a group of guards, immediately changed into his dragon robe, and then raised his hand to tell Zhong Wu in Li Yuan Palace to come over quickly.

Zhongwu has no surname. He escaped from the palace during the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty. He was met by Li Yuan, and then he followed Li Yuan to serve him. It can be said that Zhongwu almost accompanied Li Yuan from the beginning of the army to the enthronement to his abdication. process.

It can be said that if Li Yuan is looking for someone he can trust the most in this palace, it must be Zhong Wu.
