Chapter Twenty-Nine: True Fragrance

"Dad, do you think 10,000 is too little?"

"It's a lot, if it's more, I'm afraid that Old Man Wei Chi will be suspicious!"

"Yes, Dad, I didn't expect you to have the potential to be an actor, the acting just now was so realistic, even I almost believed it!"

"Lao Tzu really wants to kill you!"

……

In the courtyard, Cheng Biting Jin and his son muttered quietly, and Cheng Chuliang also pretended to scream from time to time.

"Boy, do you really have the confidence to bet on Baolin?"

"Dad, just put your heart in your stomach, with the skills that Master taught me, it's absolutely no problem, let Wu Guogong bleed today!"

Cheng Yanjin was still not at ease, "Do you know a sentence, nine out of ten bets are lost!" ”

"Dad, I still know a sentence, I don't know that the result is gambling, and the predictable result is called investment, and you don't know our family's food, the imperial chefs come to our house to learn from the teacher, how can we lose!"

After the father and son made a plan, in the blink of an eye, Cheng Yanjin chased Cheng Chuliang back to the hall, and scolded while chasing his mouth: "Loser, stop for Lao Tzu!" ”

Cheng Chuliang ran where there were many people, and used the grandfathers of the country as meat shields, if it weren't for Hou Junji's fast dodge, the feather duster in Lao Cheng's hand would almost hit him on the top of his head.

Hou Junji's face was ugly, Lao Cheng, you have to make it clear that Lao Tzu came to your house to drink, not to be beaten!

"Lao Cheng, it is necessary for me to say a few words to you, children are taught, not beaten, can you not be so violent!"

Cheng Biting Jin gasped, he didn't pay attention to Hou Junji, just stared at Cheng Chuliang.

With the human shield, Cheng Chuliang didn't run anymore, and argued for himself: "Uncle Yu here, not only will the gambling game not be canceled, but the kid will have to gamble with Uncle Wei Chi again, betting that my family's food is better than the one in the palace, a bet of 10,000 yuan, Uncle Wei Chi, do you want to bet with the kid?" ”

Wei Chi Jingde loves money very much, otherwise after the Xuanwumen Change, when Li Shimin gave him all of Li Yuanji's property, he didn't even have the least false concessions he should have, and accepted them directly!

Moreover, in the whole world, who can cook a meal that is as delicious as the imperial chef!

100% win, and another 10,000 yuan to take, the fool will not agree.

Seeing that Cheng Biting Jin was about to rush over and beat Cheng Chuliang again, Yu Chi Jingde made a decisive move and protected Cheng Chuliang with his tiger's back.

"Lao Cheng, isn't it just a bet, as for it, didn't you brag about your food just now, why, don't you dare to bet!"

Cheng bit the gold and didn't fight in one place, "You are not serious, why are you more serious with a child, and you are not afraid of being laughed at when you spread it!" ”

Yu Chi Jingde grabbed the feather duster in Jin's hand and put it back in its place.

"Lao Tzu is the kind of person who is afraid of people's jokes, Lao Cheng, how can you be like a nerd, always live in the evaluation of others, this person, you have to be yourself, do whatever you want, don't care what they say!"

Awesome, you can say such things, and you deserve to be the thickest skinned person in Chang'an City.

"Jingde, you must know that the stinky boy has no capital, that's 10,000!"

"He doesn't, but you do!"

Yu Chi Jingde blocked Cheng Biting Jin and had nothing to say.

You're eyeing my family's money!

"Jingde, do you really want to bet with that stinky boy?"

"Don't ink, hurry up and let your cook cook, my stomach is growling with hunger!"

Under the joint witness of several grandfathers, another sand sculpture gamble was born.

Zhang Gongjin whispered to Li Tao: "This child is really hopeless, do you think Lao Cheng's family business will be ruined by this kid?" ”

Li Tao remained silent, like a mud bodhisattva, and after flicking his fingers, he said quietly: "I have always had a question in my heart, why did Butcher Zheng's pork stall business suddenly improve? Who in Chang'an City will buy so much pork? ”

Zhang Gongjin frowned, and also fell into deep thought, almost no one in Chang'an City eats pork, what secret is hidden behind this?

But what does this have to do with Cheng Chuliang, now we are talking about Cheng Chuliang, not pork.

Li Tao whispered again: "Lao Cheng is a good person, he knows that he will lose, why did he agree?" It's amazing. ”

With Li Tao's reminder, Zhang Gongjin thought about it, and then had a bold guess.

Just as he was about to continue discussing with Li Tao, a majestic voice entered everyone's ears.

"Dare to bet 10,000 yuan with Wu Guogong, I think this kid has a bit of courage!"

Everyone hurriedly looked at the door, and a heroic and majestic figure appeared in front of them.

These bigwigs in the army no longer saw the calmness they had when they talked and laughed before, and one by one they hurried up to meet them like mice and cats, scrambling to kneel on the ground.

"The ministers knock on Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Li Shimin was dressed in civilian clothes and walked in with Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Li Ke swaggeringly, and the temperament of Wang Ba was fully revealed.

His sharp eyes swept over, and even Cheng Zhiliang's hair, who had stayed in modern civilized society for half his life, stood up.

I had only seen it in TV series before, but now that I see the living emperor, I understand what is really empty-eyed and cold.

Getting along with cold people will make you disgusted, but the emperor's coldness is born arrogant in the world, not only do you not dare to dislike it, but you also have a kind of fear in your heart.

Li Shimin's eyes stared at Cheng Chuliang.

"Cheng Chuliang!"

"The minister is here!" He almost said what he was doing, but fortunately he reacted quickly and corrected it in time.

"I'm getting more and more curious about you!"

Cheng Chuliang learned the plot he saw in the TV series and said, "The minister is afraid." ”

I'm really scared, the evil feudal society, if you say something wrong, you will lose your head.

"Yesterday in the court, when Tang Lun impeached you, I knew that he would definitely lose, and I also reminded him, but he was too clever and intellectual, but it was better to let these people take a heel, they were too self-righteous."

Li Shimin glanced at Wei Chi Jingde, his eyes were full of sympathy.

"Jingde, today, you will definitely lose!"

Wei Chi Jingde expressed dissatisfaction, "Your Majesty, this meal hasn't come up yet, why did the minister lose?" ”

Hou Junji and they are also full of question marks, Your Majesty is deliberately protecting Cheng Chuliang?

Seeing that they were all at a loss, Li Shimin shook his head.

What is the most terrible, ignorance is the most terrible!

These brave generals who are so powerful and brave will be played by a child.

But when he thought about it, this seemed unfair to them, it wasn't that they were ignorant, but that Cheng Chuliang was too demonic, how much did Xu Zhicai teach him?

"Cheng Qing's family, today I went out of the palace, and I walked and walked, and I arrived at your door, so come in and take a look, I didn't expect it to be so lively, I haven't drunk wine with a few Qing family for a long time, and it's noon, I'll eat with everyone, how about it?"

You are the boss, you have the final say, you can eat wherever you want, you need to ask us?

A few bigwigs who are usually awesome and coaxing, in Li Shimin, they are like frosted eggplants, and they are submissive.

Cheng Chuliang secretly despised Li Shimin, obviously he was here to eat, and he said it so high-soundingly, he didn't expect the emperor to even want dough for a meal.

The emperor is also a human being, it is rare to be idle, and Cheng Biting Jin is with them, and they began to recall the past and the eventful years, all kinds of bragging, thinking about how Lao Tzu was back then.

If Cheng Chuliang bragged in front of them, he would definitely be beaten to death, but if it was Li Shimin, they listened to it with relish and looked very well-behaved.

Cheng Chuliang couldn't help but sigh, this is the difference in status.

While talking, the maidservants brought in one meal after another, and when Li Chengqian's brother and his wife saw it, their eyes shone with golden light, and they were flushed.

It's great, and I can eat the delicious food of the Su Guo Gong's house, so I must drink less and talk less and eat more vegetables today.

The thoughtful Li Tao noticed Li Chengqian's expression, at this moment, he seemed to understand something, and then came to a terrible conclusion, could it be that the Cheng family's food is really better than what is made in the imperial dining room, and His Majesty is also here to eat?

Wei Chi Jingde glanced at the meat on the table, it was very ordinary!

"Your Majesty, the minister is fortunate to have eaten the imperial meal, it is really an endless aftertaste, the second son of the Cheng family does not know the height of the sky, and he dares to compare with the imperial dining room, the minister did not beat him, it is already very face-saving!"

If these words had been placed before, Li Shimin would definitely be happy when he heard it, but now, the more he listens to it, the more he feels that this is a great irony.

Li Shimin didn't smile, "Then you can taste the food of Lao Cheng's family!" ”

Wei Chi Jingde picked up a piece of ribs, "This doesn't look like mutton......"

"It's pork!"

As soon as Cheng Chuliang finished speaking, Wei Chi Jingde hurriedly dropped his chopsticks as if he had been shocked, "You stinky boy, what the people don't eat, you actually let the old man eat, play the old man like this, the old man has to beat you!" ”

Li Shimin said: "Jingde, you take a bite first!" ”

But Wei Chi Jingde hesitated, crying with a sad face, where would anyone eat pork.

He wanted to say that a soldier can be killed and not humiliated, and I won't eat it if I am killed, to show his determination not to eat pork, but Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Li Ke couldn't wait and were eager to try, "General Wei Chi, if you don't eat, we will eat!" ”

The reaction of the three princes made Wei Chi Jingde a little confused, can pork really be eaten?

After a painful struggle, he took a bite and chewed slowly......

"It smells so good!"
