Prince of Tang Dynasty

Li Yu and the others came to a teahouse called the most teahouse, which is one of the most famous teahouses in Dongshi.At this time, the halls on the first and second floors of the teahouse were full of people, and only the boxes were still vacant.

Princess Changle ordered the largest box, which was right next to the window.Through the windows, you can see the bustling streets below.However, if you sit in the box, you cannot hear the storytelling on the stage on the first floor.

The waiter saw that although Li Yu and the others were wearing ordinary clothes, they were made of high-quality silk and satin.Working as a waiter in the most famous tea house in Dongshi, the shop waiter still has a good eye.However, for the waiter, the teahouse receives the most dignitaries every day.It is no exaggeration to say that the most indispensable thing in Dongshi is dignitaries.

Princess Changle was not in a hurry to order tea, but first asked her younger brothers what kind of tea they wanted to drink and what they wanted to put in the tea.Changsun Jing and the others said that any kind of tea is fine, and everything is up to the princess.

Li Yu shook his hands, and said with disgust and resistance: "Sister, I don't drink tea." It wasn't that he didn't drink tea, but that he wasn't used to the way of drinking tea in Tang Dynasty.

The main way of drinking tea in the Tang Dynasty was to cook tea, adding ginger, jujube, orange peel and other things to the tea.For Li Yu who is used to brewing tea, this brewing tea is simply... not so much tea, but tea soup, and the taste is really weird.He would rather drink plain water than tea.

Princess Changle was amused by Li Yu's disgusted face, "Little Yu'er, why do you hate drinking tea?" Drinking tea was a very elegant and noble thing in the Tang Dynasty, whether it was literati or ordinary people, they all loved drinking tea. .

"This is not tea, but tea soup." Drinking tea, you only drink tea, what's the matter with the green onion, garlic and ginger in the tea.

"Tea soup? It's tea soup after all."

"Uh..." Li Yu didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only say dryly, "I don't like drinking this kind of tea."

Chang Sun Chong asked curiously: "His Royal Highness, what kind of tea do you like to drink?"

"I just drink tea, only tea leaves, nothing else." Li Yu said simply, "I just use boiled water to make tea, which is very delicious."

After hearing Li Yu's words, Princess Changle and the others were all at a loss, and asked curiously and doubtfully, "Little Yu'er, what are you talking about? Why have you never heard of it?"

"If you brew tea leaves with boiled water, is this still tea?"

"Of course it's tea, and it tastes very good. It's better than the tea you usually drink." Li Yu thought that it's already March, and the tea leaves will germinate after a while. Can't get it out.

"Really?" Princess Changle questioned, "I've never heard of the brewing you mentioned."

"Sister, there are many things you haven't heard about." Li Yu knew that it was useless to say what he said now, so he didn't bother to waste his time talking, "When the tea leaves sprout next month, I will find someone to make tea and brew the tea at that time Give you a drink."

Sitting next to Li Yu, Li Zhi blindly trusted and supported everything his younger brother did, "Sister, Xiao Yu'er is right."

Princess Jinyang also nodded: "Yes, what Xiao Yu'er said is not wrong."

Princess Changle couldn't help but think of the many strange foods that her little brother made. These things were unheard of and unseen before, but they were very delicious.This time the little brother said that this brewed tea may be good.

"Okay, I'll wait."

Li Yu thought that the new tea making method and tea drinking method he invented would become popular all over the Tang Dynasty. This is a good opportunity to make money, and he must not miss it.Also, the furniture and all kinds of food that he made before became popular in Chang'an City, but he forgot to take advantage of this opportunity to make money.

In the future, he will be a dandy prince, eating, drinking and having fun, but how can he eat, drink and have fun without money.Counting on the little salary of the prince and the rewards from Comrade Lao Li and the others, it is estimated that he cannot eat, drink and play carefree.He has to find a way to make money, so as to ensure his future life as a dude.

The small calculation in Li Yu's heart was crackling, he could open a furniture store and a restaurant first, and then open a tea shop after the tea came into the market.

Princess Changle saw her younger brother suddenly not speaking, frowning as if thinking about something, with a very serious expression, which made her a little curious: "Xiao Yu'er."

Li Yu was estimating in his mind how much money he would need to open a shop, but he didn't hear Princess Changle calling him.

Princess Changle called again: "Little Yu'er?"

Li Yu still didn't respond. It wasn't until Li Zhi touched his arm that he came back to his senses, "Ninth brother, what's wrong?"

Li Zhi reminded: "The elder sister called you."

Li Yu looked up at Princess Changle who was sitting opposite, "Elder Sister, what's wrong?"

"What are you thinking, thinking so seriously that you didn't even hear me call you?"

Li Yuchong smiled at Princess Changle: "I didn't think about anything."

"Really?" Princess Changle had a look of disbelief, "Aren't you planning something again?" Xiao Yu'er is the most mischievous and clever child, and often makes the emperor and the empress helpless.This time he went out to play in the palace, he must be playing some tricks again.

Li Yu's eyes widened when he heard this, his overly pretty little face was full of innocence, and his tone was full of grievances: "Sister, how could you say that about me?"

"Didn't you have any idea?"

Li Yu's small face showed a hurt expression, his hands tightly covered his left chest, and his tone was very sad: "Sister, I didn't expect you to look at me like this, you hurt my heart so much."

Princess Changle was amused by Li Yu's pretentious appearance: "You... are clever..."

At this moment, the shop waiter came over with the tea that had been cooked.In addition to tea, there are also many exquisite and delicious snacks.

Li Yu was eating dim sum, and suddenly a flash of light flashed in his mind, why did he forget to develop the dim sum for future generations?

Dim sum is also a good thing to get rich. After he returned to the palace, he made some dim sum that is not difficult to make in later generations, but very delicious.

At this time, cheers and applause came from the hall on the first floor from time to time.

Changsun Ze couldn't sit still, so he dragged Li Yu out to have a look.

Li Yu was also curious about what book was being read on the first floor, so he told Princess Changle, led Changsun Ze and the others out of the box, and lay on the railing on the third floor to listen to the book.

The storyteller was talking about the Three Kingdoms period, and he spoke with great emotion, with ups and downs and ups and downs in his tone, which made everyone applaud, drink tea, and cheer loudly.

At first Li Yu thought that Mr. Storyteller was talking about "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but after listening to it for a while, he realized that it was not. At this time, he remembered that "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was a novel in the Ming Dynasty, how could it appear in the Tang Dynasty.

Although everyone has heard the story of the Three Kingdoms badly, they still want to hear it.The storyteller in this tea house had a good eloquence, and the stories he told were very attractive. Li Yu stopped being fascinated after listening to it for a while.

The storyteller talked about the book for a while and then left. Next, a father and daughter came to the stage to play the piano and sing.

After Princess Changle and the others finished drinking tea, Li Yu and the others left the teahouse.

Seeing that it was getting late, Princess Changle led a group of younger brothers and sisters back home.

When they returned to Changsun's mansion, Li Yu and the others were caught by Changsun Wuji and took them to the study room, and began to teach them to read, write, and memorize.It was not until Haishi that Li Yu and the others fell asleep.

"Xiao Yu'er, are you asleep?" Li Zhi asked in a low voice.

"It's gone." Li Yu turned to look at Li Zhi who was sleeping next to him, "Ninth Brother, what's wrong?"

Li Zhi turned his body sideways and faced Li Yu: "Little Yu'er, I can't sleep."

"What a coincidence, I can't sleep either." He kept thinking about opening a store to make money, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and he wished he could open the store right away.

"Little Yu'er, what's the matter with you, your mind wandered after you came back from the teahouse?" Li Zhi was a careful kid, he noticed Li Yu's mind wandering when he was in the teahouse.

"I'm thinking about making money."

"Make money?" Li Zhi looked surprised, and a pair of black and white eyes in the dark looked at Li Yu in surprise and doubt, "Xiao Yu'er, why do you want to make money?"

"I'm short of money."

"Lack of money? Didn't Father give you 100 taels of silver?" In Li Zhi's view, 100 taels of silver is a huge sum of money, "100 taels is not enough, then how much silver do you want, but unfortunately I don't have any money ?” Li Zhi hardly used money at ordinary times, and Empress Changsun and Li Shimin didn’t give him any money, so he didn’t have much money.Although he didn't have any silver, he had some gold, which was rewarded to him by Empress Changsun and Li Shimin, as well as Prince Li Chengqian or Changsun Wuji.

"I want a lot of money." Li Yu's eyes shone brightly in the darkness, "Ninth Brother, I want to be the richest prince in the Tang Dynasty."

"Ah? The richest prince?" Li Zhi didn't have any idea about money, so he didn't know how rich Li Yu was talking about the richest. "How much does it cost?"

"I want to be as rich as Shi Chong."

"Little Yu'er, Shi Chong is as rich as a country."

"That's right, I want to be a prince who is incomparably rich." Li Yu raised his hand and patted Li Zhi's shoulder, and said with a smile, "So, I plan to open a shop to make money."

"Xiao Yu'er, what kind of shop do you want to open?"

"Preliminary plans to open furniture stores, restaurants, and tea shops." Li Yu sighed helplessly when he thought that he didn't have much money, "However, I don't have money to open a store now. Auntie borrowed money to open a shop."

"Borrow money? Will father and queen lend you?" Li Zhi pouted and said, "It's a pity that I don't have any money, otherwise I will give it to you." Xiao Yu'er wants to open a shop, so as an older brother, he naturally has to support Xiao Yu'er fish.

"Aniang will lend me, but it's hard for Aye to say." Li Yu thought of asking Comrade Li for a reward and making a fuss before he could succeed, so he curled his lips in disgust, "Aye is so stingy, it may not be true. Will lend me." He first asked A Niang and Aye to borrow, and if the borrowed money was not much, he then borrowed from his brothers, sisters, and uncle.

"Xiao Yu'er, when the time comes, I will help you beg your father and mother together."

"If it doesn't work, I'll sell the things that Aye and Aniang rewarded me for money." No matter what, he wants to open the store to make money.

"Then I will also sell the things that my father and mother rewarded me for money, and then I will open a shop for you."

Li Yu turned over and hugged Li Zhi in his arms, bowed his head and kissed Li Zhi's face fiercely: "Ninth brother, you are really my good brother, I love you to death."

In the darkness, Li Zhi's face was flushed, but his eyes were crooked with a smile.
