Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty

Li Shimin stared blankly at the few leaves of cabbage on the dining table in front of him.

Then he pointed at the table and asked Wang De:

"Are you sure this is how the palace cabbage is eaten?"

"Back to Your Majesty, I personally went to the flavor restaurant and learned it in their kitchen."

Wang De nodded and replied. He also felt it was a bit outrageous. Can this thing be considered delicious? His Majesty also said personally that the Flavor Pavilion has a delicious dish and the supply exceeds the demand. What the hell is this?

Li Shimin was also confused. Today was the Xiaochao meeting. After chatting with the ministers, Cheng Yaojin started bragging mode.

He said that yesterday he specially invited Qin Qiong, Duke of Yi State, and Yu Chi Jingde, Duke of E State, to visit the flavor restaurant in the West Market.

I ordered a newly developed dish they had called palace cabbage. The whole process was described by Cheng Yaojin as high-end and classy.

He also said that it was very delicious when he ate it, with a crisp and sweet taste and a fragrant fragrance. He said that his mouth was full of foam, and people in the sky and the earth were blown away.

He also said that only by eating this dish can he show what it means to be a nobleman and what it means to be superior to others.

Li Shimin knew what kind of character this guy was, so he didn't pay much attention to it. However, this guy would look at him with his bull's-eye from time to time.

The provocative look in his eyes made Li Shimin unbearable. You are the only one who has the nerve to say you are noble, you are a shameless thing.

You still dare to look down on me, do you know that the flavor restaurant belongs to my daughter?

So Li Shimin asked Wang De to take the imperial chef to the flavor restaurant in person, and taste the delicacies Cheng Yaojin mentioned while preparing dinner.

He also specially summoned the queen and several beloved concubines, intending to show off.

But when he saw the delicious food, Li Shimin fell into deep self-doubt. What is this? Is this the delicacy that guy Cheng Yaojin was talking about?

His first reaction was that the imperial chef was fooling him.

At this moment, the queen and several concubines also came over.

"Erlang, I heard that Shen'er has developed another dish. Chang'an City's supply exceeds demand. Because of the scarcity of ingredients, there are only ten people a day.

Is this dish available today? "Empress Changsun came to the table with a smile.

Li Shimin is extremely embarrassed now. He feels that this is the most embarrassing time since he became emperor.

"Queen, this is the new dish developed by His Highness Prince Ji. After hearing about it, the old slave went to the flavor shop to learn it.

I want to give it to Your Majesty and the Queen to taste, but maybe I didn’t learn it well.

I have disappointed Your Majesty and the Queen. It is the old slave who deserves to die. Please forgive me. "

Wang De bowed and asked for forgiveness.

"Well, forget it, it's not your fault." Li Shimin's face softened a lot and he hummed.

Then, after Li Shimin sat down with his concubines, Wang De personally picked up a woid leaf, put some sauce on it and handed it to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin took a bite, it was cool and refreshing, and when he savored the taste, it was also cool and refreshing.

Several concubines also tasted it. It was cool and refreshing, nothing else.

"Wang De, I heard that this was developed by Shen'er. I wonder how much a dish costs at the flavor shop?" Queen Changsun asked curiously after taking a few bites.

To be honest, she has never eaten raw water cabbage. It was indeed fresh, but she couldn't say it was as delicious as the rumors.

"Back to the Empress, I asked their shopkeeper that there are only seven or eight leaves in a dish called Shiba Guan, not even the heart."

Wang De thought this was too deceptive. His Majesty had never eaten such luxurious food.

"Eighteen strings?"

"So expensive?"

Not to mention the queen's surprise, even Li Shimin was extremely surprised. Isn't this a rip-off? This is not a prawn.

Now it's Concubine Wei's turn to be embarrassed. Her son is really worrying. Isn’t this deceiving the people?

Forget it if he was just messing around, he would also bring trouble to his sister.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, Shen'er has started acting up again." Concubine Wei quickly stood up to apologize.

"Sister, there is no need to be nervous. Erlang didn't blame Shen'er." Empress Changsun pulled Concubine Wei beside her to sit down.

"Wang De, I heard that the supply of this dish exceeds the demand. Is there any forced buying or selling?" Li Shimin asked calmly.

He also felt that Li Shen would not forcefully buy and sell for the sake of Shiba Guan, and there were so many people trying to catch him.

"Your Majesty, not only were there no forced sales, many people even wanted to force them to buy them because there were only ten cabbages a day.

I heard from the shopkeeper that the queue is now half a month away, and many nobles and even royal relatives want to have some connections to eat in advance.

And those who ate it were full of praise, and no one said it was not delicious. "

Wang De answered truthfully. This was what Wang De was most puzzled about. He even doubted whether these people had been drugged.

Li Shimin frowned and was puzzled.

"Is there any difference in their rice cookers?" This is what he doubted.

"By the way, they said that this wok was grown by King Ji himself. King Ji ate it every day. They also said that eating it regularly can enhance physical fitness and prolong life. Women who eat it can also benefit from beauty."

"How dare he say that he, Prince Ji, has ever farmed before? He is so lazy that he has to be fed just to eat. It is nonsense that he can grow weeds."

The people who know you best are often your biggest fans, and Li Shimin is Li Shen’s biggest fan.

"Hahaha." After Li Shimin said, not only the queen laughed, but also several concubines covered their mouths and laughed.

Prince Ji, the little prince, has been very quirky since he was a child, and they have seen him since childhood. Every time Prince Ji comes to the palace to give gifts, they all have a share.

While they envied Concubine Wei for having a good son, they also knew a little about Li Shen, who was naughty and lazy.

When they were children, their favorite thing to do in Daji Hall was to sleep. After leaving the palace, they also heard that Li Shen repeatedly refused to go to court because of not getting up early.

They really don't believe that he grows vegetables himself and grows so much.

"Erlang, I have to say that Shen'er is really a genius among merchants, and his ability to make money is unparalleled." Empress Changsun praised with a smile.

"Hmph, they are all hereditary and heretical, and cannot reach the level of elegance. If you have this skill, you might as well join the court and do more things for the court."

Li Shimin snorted, unwilling to acknowledge the queen's words.

"Erlang, Shen'er can sell these ordinary things to those nobles at a high price. Not everyone has this ability.

Scamming can only deceive one or two people, so how can these people all rush to be fooled?

Even princes like Lu Guogong and Yi Guogong are willing to spend money to buy it, which shows that Shen'er's methods are clever.

Besides, Shen'er has always advocated making money from rich people. As long as it doesn't harm the common people, it doesn't hurt to make some money from nobles. "

Empress Changsun defended Li Shen, saying that this son was already quite good. Although he caused a lot of trouble for His Majesty, his contribution was greater than any other prince.

It's not that you don't get into trouble, it's good to manage your fiefdom honestly.
