After breakfast in the morning, he went to the study, and when he saw that his secretaries were not very good-looking, he said, "You are so listless, are you very tired lately?"

"Young master, you have been paying little attention to our sisters lately, is it that we have done something bad to annoy the young master." Lan Lan said coquettishly.

"Lan'er, what are you thinking about all day long, you can't do your own work." Yuan Shan said angrily.

"Young master, this is someone who is jealous again, what a sour taste." Gen Si said suddenly.

"Hmph, I don't know who called the young master's name last night when he went to bed, and he was ashamed." Lan Lan retorted.

"I don't have it, don't talk nonsense." Qin Si said with a blushing face.

"Cut, hard-mouthed guy......" Lan Lan didn't pay attention to Qinsi like a victor.

"Ahem, well, don't make a fuss, prepare who will go to the shops in the city with me today." Wonsun asked.

"The chess hall is still inseparable from people for the time being." Jean said.

"The young master taught Xiyin to play and sing the guitar is still in contact." Yune said.

"Oh, that's Lan Lan and Qimeng didn't make arrangements, then you guys, go pack up and leave early." Yuan Shan said.

"Okay young master." Lan Lan said.

Yuan Shan and the others came to the shop in Hepingfang, but there was still no business, so they had nothing to do, so they started playing poker.

"Three with one, Shunzi, Wang Bang...... Won, haha. Yuan Shan shouted.

"Young Master doesn't play anymore, you win every time, Lan'er should prepare lunch." Lan Lan said.

"It's noon so soon, time flies." Yuan Shan said.

Soon a copper hot pot came up, and today Yuan Shan brought a lot of ingredients from Zhuangzi, and the mutton was frozen and sliced.

Bursts of fragrance wafted from the shop.

"Third child, this shop seems to be a restaurant." Passers-by said.

"The second brother just returned to Hepingfang and didn't know that the shop was selling bricks, stones and gravel, not a restaurant." Passerby said.

"Oh, why did Xiang want to go in for a meal just now, but I didn't expect it to be a restaurant, it's a pity." The second passer-by said.

"What the second brother said is that I watched it at the door yesterday for a long time......"

There are not many pedestrians on the streets of Hepingfang, and the open doors and windows of the building materials store are really nothing special except for the tables, chairs and benches in the house from the outside.

"The old man and the building materials store have arrived." Yun Feng said after parking the carriage.

"Well, go in and have a look." Li Shimin got out of the carriage and said.

"Are you sure this is a building materials store, why is there a smell of meat in it?" Li Shimin asked suddenly.

"Maybe it's eating." Yun Feng said.

Yuan Shangang waited for the hot pot to boil water, and put some soup base, yesterday it was clear soup, today it was added with base, and before he started eating, he heard the family shouting: "Young master, there are guests."

Yuan Shan put down the things in his hand and turned his head to look at it and said: "It turned out to be His Royal Highness King Qin, it was better to come early than to come coincidentally, just in time for lunch, if you don't dislike me, then let's have a hot pot together."

Li Shimin had already smelled the fragrance, but he readily agreed: "Haha, okay."

Yuanshan prepared for the people in the store to eat together, and now that the guests came, Ding Yahuan also consciously began to get busy.

Yun Feng became more serious today, and immediately went to the door to guard.

"Yuan Shan, is this what you said about hot pot, this hot pot is very peculiar, but this antique soup, you call it hot pot is also very appropriate." Li Shimin said.

Yuan Shan thought about it for a while, it seems that there was a hot pot in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the pot at that time was the "copper tripod" jar also called "bucket", and later it was handed down according to the sound of its cooking "Gu Dong", anyway, it is mainly shabu shabu, but Yuan Shan's this is a genuine copper hot pot, the taste is naturally much better, and the open hot pot structure is also more convenient to use.

"His Royal Highness King Qin is still knowledgeable, but I am a new type of hot pot, I promise to eat it once and want to think about it next time, and I have also researched a variety of different flavors of hot pot bases, such as three fresh pots, spicy pots, nourishing pots, etc., if you eat hot pot in winter, the hot one is definitely the best product of the winter." Yuan Shan said hard.

Yuan Shan put the mutton into the hot pot and said confidently: "His Royal Highness King Qin will try how it tastes." ”

Li Shimin also picked up the chopsticks and ate them, and after taking a bite, he was completely like Li Chengqian yesterday, all chatting about mutton rolls.

"This pot of mutton is so fresh, it's really delicious with this soup, what are these vegetables." Li Shimin asked again.

"These are lettuce, I said to plant at home, I also stumbled upon these in the mountains, so I left the seeds, such a fresh vegetable yield is amazing, most suitable for spring planting and the yield is very high, the taste is better than wild vegetables I don't know how much, now the farmers in Wulizhuang are also planting in the yard, to solve a lot of vegetable problems." Yuan Shan said.

Li Shimin ate this lettuce yesterday and still has a unique flavor with hot pot seasoning, and today he tasted a new taste after trying the boiled lettuce.

"There are still such vegetable seeds, and this king also wants to take some back to plant." Li Shimin said.

"This year, Wulizhuang has basically been planted, and there are a lot of seeds, why not send some to King Qin, I will send someone home to get it, but the season has passed, and I can only plant it in the spring of next year." Yuan Shan said.

"Try other vegetables, it's delicious, and this chrysanthemum is also very good." Yuan Shan recommended again.

Li Shimin ate almost enough, and suddenly said: "Your cement is quite useful, it is a good material for building a city, but the price is more expensive." ”

Buying cement has to bargain, is this the style of King Qin, Yuan Shan thought in his heart that he would not be so naïve, so he automatically made up for it.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin, cement has a lot of uses, it is a good material to build a city, and mixing sand and bricks can increase the speed of construction, the price, to be honest, the production cost of cement is extremely high." Yuan Shan said very frankly.

"I heard Qian'er say that you have some opinions on the construction of the Great Wall, so it is better to hear it." Li Shimin said.

Yuan Shanxin said that this is the real question after saying so much, but he didn't know what to say, so he said casually: "It's just idle talk, it's not a big deal, the Great Wall can't surround the border of the entire Tang Dynasty in a strong way, even if it can be built, the labor, material and mental resources spent are not something that can be done in a short time, and the tyranny of Qin Shi Huang is probably full of complaints, and if the people lose their hearts over time, the world will be chaotic, if His Royal Highness King Qin can really take care of my business, If you want to get rich and build roads first, the road conditions are good, and the goods can be delivered to the people so that they can provide real benefits, and to a certain extent, it can also speed up the transportation of materials. ”

"You have a good idea, but the cost of building a road is also very high." Li Shimin hesitated, after all, his rights are still very limited now, so there are a lot of things to consider, but he thinks the idea of building a road is very good.

"His Royal Highness King Qin, in fact, it is very convenient to build a cement road, after tamping the road surface, put a certain height of wooden planks on both sides, and then pour cement and sand and gravel concrete paving with wooden sticks to lie flat, maintenance of a month This road can be used, compared to the stone road is much more trouble-free." Yuan Shan said, he could feel that King Qin was already a little moved, so let's talk about business first.

"For example, there is a distance of about 100 kilometers from Chang'an to Puzhou, and if you build a cement road, a cement road that is 12 feet wide (4 meters) and 6 inches (20 centimeters) high will cost about 120,000 yuan." Yuan Shan said.

"Poof!" Li Shimin squirted out a mouthful of hot pot soup.
