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

After finally waking up from his complicated thoughts, Zhang Nuo looked at Qin Er who was half lying on the sofa, curled his lips angrily, mother, at the beginning, he thought that Qin Er was a good person.

It turned out that after eating a few meals, he acted like a rascal, relying on his house every day, so he didn't have the slightest sense of stability when we first met.

Zhang Nuo was not surprised that Qin Er liked the book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

Anyone who is a little older will be fascinated by this book. Although the stories in this book are completely different from those in the history books, the plot is vivid and the characters are vivid. The bigger you are, the more experience you have, the more you can see the splendor inside.

It's not just Qin Er, Mr. Li and Mrs. Li have never left their books recently, and they seem a little careless in everything they do.

No wonder they are obsessed with it, perhaps, there are no readers in this world who have a deeper understanding than the two of them.

What is the story in the book?

It is a story of the rise, prosperity, and decline of power, a story of confrontation between monarchs and ministers, and between countries. How can Li Shimin and his son not be as good as the treasure?

Sometimes Zhang Nuo even thought, this group of people looked like they were holding the book like a treasure, they wouldn't really plan to learn some tricks from it, would they?

That's so funny.

However, I have to say that some people just couldn't help talking about it. Lao Li, who hadn't visited the door for a while, actually walked in with his hands behind his back.

As for Lao Li, Zhang Nuo naturally knew him very well, and there was no need to salute or anything, he just greeted him when he came.

But Zhang Nuo inadvertently discovered that Lao Li didn't come empty-handed today, and there was a long string of carriages behind them, constantly moving things under the carriages.

Hey, Lao Li finally knows how to give gifts. Could it be that this big Chinese New Year is enlightened?

Although Zhang Nuo seems to take Lao Li as a victim on weekdays.But in fact, it's all money for buying and selling, whether it's a winery or a house, one is a partnership and the other is a middleman to make the difference.

In other aspects, Zhang Nuoke has never treated Lao Li badly, whether it is food, clothing, housing, transportation or various fun things, basically he has never left Lao Li behind.

But this guy Lao Li doesn't return many gifts, unlike his father, who is so honest, he just returns a pile of gold if he gives anything, and he gives away gold as a Chinese cabbage, so arrogant.

However, the gift has already arrived at the door, so naturally I have to thank Lao Li.

"Old Li, why are you thinking of giving my brother something nice today? Why didn't you realize that you are so polite?"

Seeing the playful smile on this adopted brother's face, Lao Li felt tired for a while. He is a brother, he really has skills, but people are real dogs!

"On weekdays, Mr. Li sees that the food and clothing of you, the wealthy Zhang, are better than those in the palace. How can you value ordinary things!"

Zhang Nuo glanced at Lao Li, okay, I didn't see it, your Lao Li is also a big hermaphrodite with a strange ambiguity!

"Yo, that means you found something rare today, so you came to show off?"

Zhang Nuo was also joking, after all, there was too much back and forth between him and Lao Li.But he was really curious about what rare objects Lao Li could produce.

After all, even if he doesn't have it, the system can get it out, so it's really hard to surprise him or something.

Li Shimin raised his chin in embarrassment, and shouted outside,

"Come here, get us a jar of the stuff from the first car!"

After finishing speaking, he continued to look at Zhang Nuo with a sullen expression, which made Zhang Nuo baffled, and at the same time became more and more curious. What is this old Li doing?

It's like getting a 80-inch color TV in the 21s and going back to the countryside. It's so embarrassing that your nostrils are soaring.

Not long after, the servants outside brought the things in directly.

When Zhang Nuo took a closer look, it was just a tightly wrapped small jar, much smaller than the usual wine jars, but he didn't know what was in it?

Lao Li didn't need other people to do it, he took the initiative to open the jar, and said proudly,

"Everything is good in the mansion of Zhang Dazhang's family. You live well, dress well, and eat better. You can be regarded as a well-informed person, and here you are no different from a villager in the countryside!"

"However, after many days of observation, I discovered that you obviously like to drink sugar water, but there are no other desserts in the house, and most of the meals are salty. So, I specially brought you some good things!"

As soon as the words were finished, Li Shimin lifted the cork that was wrapped in red cloth on the jar, and a jar of white frosted sugar appeared in front of everyone.

Zhang Nuo didn't even have time to speak just now, and then saw this scene in front of him!

Looking at the jar of frosting sugar, and then at Lao Li with the expression of "I'll send you something nice", Zhang Nuo was speechless.

Who the hell gave you the courage to say that my family doesn't even have sugar?

Just because I like to drink a few bottles of Fat House Happy Water doesn’t mean I like to eat sweets! !

Why don't you prepare sugar at home?

Who the hell is the same as the soil turtles at this time in the Tang Dynasty, no matter what kind of food you cook, you have to pour some sugar juice on it, not to mention sticky, and you won't eat at all.

Doesn't he fry a scallion and mutton?

Li Shimin saw that shopkeeper Xiao Zhang, who usually has a bad fart, stopped talking when he looked at this jar of frosting sugar. He was more and more satisfied with the gift he prepared today, and said with a smile,

"Hahaha, brother, since you like this thing, it's good for my brother to get you some from time to time, but you can't use it too much, this thing is not cheap, I'm not afraid of your jokes, I will give you this car, brother They have been accumulated for a long time!"

That's true, Li Shimin really didn't just get some of these things here casually, he got a whole carriage of these things, and they were all stored in this kind of small jars.

Zhang Nuo couldn't help but cry when he heard this, what is this and what is it, I don't know what to say after talking about it.

"Lao Li, I thank you for your kindness. It's not that I can't afford sugar, but that it's not good to eat too much sugar. I already drink sugar water every day, so I don't need to eat other sugar, otherwise my body will Even if you can hold your teeth, you can't stand it!"

Li Shimin was stunned. Is this the shopkeeper Xiao Zhang he knew?There are still gifts that are delivered to the door?I'm afraid it's not someone pretending to be, right?

You must know that from the first day he met Shopkeeper Xiaozhang, as long as it was valuable, it was as if it had entered the stomach of a Pixiu.

Now it's not just one or two servings, it's a whole carriage of frosting sugar, and this little shopkeeper really refuses?

Chapter 137

Li Shimin is not the kind of person who speaks secretively. Whether it is his hidden emperor status or his own personality, he has never had any scruples in speaking.

So, he couldn't figure it out, so he asked directly,

"Brother, this cart of frosting sugar is worth a hundred taels of gold, why don't you want it?"

"How many?"

Zhang Nuo spoke rashly, his voice changed, and he looked at Lao Li dumbfounded!

Li Shimin didn't know what the shopkeeper Zhang was excited about. Everyone knew that frosting was precious, so why was he so excited?

But how did he know that Zhang Nuo was lamenting that he wanted to start a big money-making industry, but he forgot that the sugar industry was inconspicuous in later generations.

But at this moment, it's a real money-making industry, how could he forget about this!

He was still struggling with what to do in the workshop area before, but now it's over, don't think about it, sugar making is just fine!

Zhang Nuo glanced at Lao Li, seeing his bewildered expression, sighed and explained,

"Old Li, it would be great if you gave me some candy earlier. I forgot that I can still do such a business. Although I don't like eating this very much, if I knew that this thing is so valuable, I could make it and sell it. what!"

Li Shimin almost choked himself to death with a mouthful of saliva, what do these mean?

Frosting can also be made?Isn't this something that can only be produced from sugarcane in the south, and the yield is extremely low?

He is not a rich man who doesn't understand anything. When he deals with government affairs on weekdays, he often admits that he doesn't understand, and then asks courtiers who understand or simply looks through the book to find the answer.

Therefore, he knew very early on that this frosting sugar was squeezed out of southern sugar cane.

And sugar cane can't be grown in the north at all, only in the south.

"Brother, stop talking nonsense. How is this frosting sugar produced in the north? Could it be that you want to bring the sugar cane from the south to the north to grow it? Somebody advises you, that thing can't be grown in the north!"

"If you want to buy and sell sugar, you should think about caramel!"

Zhang Nuo looked at Lao Li disdainfully,

"You know what a fart, who told you that sugar cane can only be used to make frosting sugar? Could it be that if sugar cane doesn't reach the north, there will be no other plants to replace it? You will know how other things can be made into sugar in the spring of next year!"

Li Shimin was taken aback after hearing this, and then said in surprise,

"Could it be that you have other crops on hand that can produce sugar? Can they be grown in the north?"

Zhang Nuo didn't even bother to talk to him. He didn't know if there were any beets at the moment, but he knew that when he was a child, his grandma's house in the northern countryside grew a lot of beets in the fields.

And he knows very well that sugar production depends on sugar beets, and the process is not complicated.

But Zhang Nuo's failure to answer does not mean that Li Shimin is not excited. If this really creates an industry that can produce a large amount of frosting sugar, it will not only be a matter of making money, but the key is that it can be promoted.

Nowadays, people mainly grow food. At most, they can plant half an acre of land in front of and behind their houses and order vegetables to eat at home.

But according to Shopkeeper Xiao Zhang, several kinds of high-yield grains will appear next year. After that, can many lands not be used to grow grains?

Does that mean that this sugar-producing plant can also be grown?

Although Li Shimin didn't know how Zhang Nuo would make sugar, he knew that when frosting sugar was only produced in the south, one mu of sugar cane would not produce much frosting sugar.

This is why frosting sugar is so expensive these days!

And planting this thing that shopkeeper Xiao Zhang has not yet produced, no matter how much you drop it, is better than growing grain and not earning much money all year round!

Thinking of this, he looked at Zhang Nuo with a smile and said,

"Brother, I don't know what kind of species you plan to plant? Can you save some species for next year, so that if everyone helps to grow them, your sugar workshop will have a steady stream of raw materials?"

Zhang Nuo rolled his eyes angrily,

"Forget it, my little seed is probably enough for myself, let's talk about it in a year or two, let me earn two years of money first."

It's not that Zhang Nuo is reluctant, but he's afraid that if Tie Hanhan gets the seeds, he doesn't know how to refine and produce them after planting them. Wouldn't that be harmful.

And when he thought that the production would only start in the fall and winter next year, Zhang Nuo suddenly became dizzy and bored!

Seeing Zhang Nuo's listless look, Li Shimin couldn't laugh or cry when he asked why!

Does this shopkeeper, Zhang, plan to earn all the money in the world so that he can feel at ease?

But Zhang Nuo was depressed for a while, and planned to go into the kitchen to cook. Although he looked down on Lao Li, in fact, as long as Lao Li came, he would cook by himself.

Lao Li may have not seen Zhang Nuo for a long time, but this time he went to the kitchen with him, chatting without saying a word while watching Zhang Nuo cooking.

This was the first time he saw Zhang Nuo cooking up close, and he was very curious about everything, especially the various novelties in the whole kitchen.

Then for some reason, he rummaged around and turned to the side of the stove, and then he saw the pile of salt in the small pot.

Li Shimin didn't seem to believe it, and put a little bit of it in his mouth with his finger. Grinning his teeth from the salt, he looked at Zhang Nuo who was busy there and sighed,

"Brother, your family really doesn't get tired of eating, eating, and eating. You even use the best snow salt casually. I think this snow salt has uniform particles and a white color. I'm afraid it's better than the ones used in the palace."

Zhang Nuo looked at Lao Li angrily and said,

"It's better than the palace, why not break the law if I get some salt and eat it myself?"

Li Shimin was taken aback after hearing this,

"You made this yourself? Can you make salt? Snow salt?"

Zhang Nuo curled his lips in disdain, casually took a dish out of the pot, and replied casually,

"It's so fresh. It's not a big deal to get some salt. Although the salt industry is a government business, I don't sell it. If you eat some yourself, you can still sue the government and arrest me!"

Li Shimin is in a hurry,

"You are so good at sitting, how can you do such a thing, you mean whether you know how to make salt, especially this kind of snow salt? A lot of it!"

Zhang Nuo nodded indifferently, and Li Shimin was overjoyed immediately, but then asked seriously,

"But from coarse salt?"

Zhang Nuo continued to nod his head, Li Shimin was immediately happy,

"Then why don't we do this business! How expensive is this snow salt! How good it is for us to sell this!"

Zhang Nuo looked at Lao Li like he was looking at a fool, and after a while he answered angrily,

"Old Li, if you want to die, you can go directly. I will take care of my sister-in-law for you, and you don't have to worry about my nephew. His grandfather is next door to my house, and someone will help you educate him!"

"What are you thinking, it's broad daylight, I just said that selling salt is a government business, you're thinking about it now, be careful if you have money to earn but not to spend your life!"

Chapter 138 Who is the profiteer

After Zhang Nuo sprayed briefly and directly, he suddenly thought of a possibility, and asked seriously,

"Old Li, you don't intend to use the relationship of the emperor to obtain the documents for salt production and sales from the government, do you? Then this business can still be done!"

"We don't need to buy those other things, we can just sell this kind of snow salt, this thing is expensive and has a lot of profit!"

Li Shimin gave a thumbs up with a smile,

"That's right, so-and-so wants to make and sell salt, but didn't you say that you refined the snow salt yourself from rough salt? If we make snow salt, it's not breaking the law!"

Zhang Nuo squinted his eyes and looked at Lao Li. Seeing this guy's determined face, he couldn't believe it.
