This young man was born extremely handsome, and he was as noble as a jade pearl, and a pair of eyes as bright as a starry night were extremely clear and quiet, which made people can't help but have a sense of comfort, so the older one who didn't have a forehead scarf smiled and said:

"The wife of the childe's family, don't you like this salty taste?"

"Exactly, Uchiko likes sweet food the most, especially Bi Luo, who is filled with cherry fruit, and she is the most popular. There was a family in Chang'an that was very tasty, and she had always taken food from that family before. But now that I have followed my family to Luoyang, there are several Biluo families here, and most of them are salty...... Uchiko has been happy lately, and she has a sweet heart. It's really sad...... Uh, me. ”

The young man hesitated for a moment, but smiled helplessly.

Seeing this, the two were very sympathetic, and while comforting him, they persuaded him that this Luoyang City was very large, and it was impossible to say which of them did a good job......

Even in the end, the young one reached out and tried to pat the young man on the shoulder.

But before his hand could fall, he was grabbed by a large hand like an iron tong—although it didn't hurt, it was held tightly.

So when he looked back in surprise, he saw a middle-aged man with slightly white temples, some hot sweat on his forehead, and red ears:

"Lord...... Uh, but I'm sorry, my son-in-law has just recently received the advice of the great abbot of the White Horse Temple, and it is not appropriate to have contact with people recently, just because he is ......"

When the middle-aged man said this, he couldn't say any more;

How to say?

Could it be that the young master of his family can't be touched, and if he touches it, he will be unlucky?

Wait...... He didn't have the courage to bear the sin of disrespect.

I was embarrassed for a while, and I could only look at the young man helplessly.

But who knew that the young man was so neat, only looking at jokes, and he had no intention of breaking it down for him.

The middle-aged man was even more embarrassed.

In the end, another middle-aged man who seemed to be the leader with a calm and calm demeanor stepped forward, pulled him away with a smile, and said two words of no with a smile, and then it was over.

And when the middle-aged man returned to his seat and sat down, a seven-foot man looked like he wanted to cry bitterly...... Seeing that the few companions next to him were pitiful, ridiculous and self-endangered, they wanted to comfort but couldn't open their mouths anyway, so they had to bow their heads and eat soup cakes desperately.

The young man here smiled and broke down a few words for his family, but he could also get the understanding of the two porters, so he talked about Bi Luo again.

Speaking of which, the young man still wanted to know if Lao Gao could make a cherry Biluo, but he got a categorical denial, saying that this family's Biluo was all salty and inedible.

- Especially the salty taste, which is really strange, it seems to have a different fishy smell.

The young porter's unintentional words before leaving, but the young man pondered for a long time, until the old lady came to remind the soup cake that it was cold, and whether he wanted to mix it with some hot broth, he smiled and said hello.

Then, with the newly added mutton soup and chopped Hu Xiang, he slowly ate all the soup cakes, and even drank the broth, he got up slowly, and came to the old man with a thoughtful look, took out a Tongbao and the old man from his chest, and turned to leave......

"Oops! Child! You've already given it! And...... And it's ......"

The old lady looked at the yellow and clear Tongbao in her hand and her wife who was also stunned, and was stunned for a while, before hurriedly calling the young man.

The young man was stunned, looked back at the Jin Tongbao that was held in the palm of his hand by the old mother's rough big hand, smiled suddenly, and then thought about it, but said:

"It's okay, the old lady stays...... Right after the date...... If I bring Uchiko to eat again. ”

The old lady said in a trembling voice:

But that's it...... This...... This is gold, and now at this price, this one is the eclipse of the son and his wife every day, and they can't finish it...... Moreover, and this Tongbao is golden, and that is the ...... in the palace."

The old lady suddenly stopped, stunned for a moment, and immediately looked at the young man in shock, confusion and panic, and was about to kneel, but was helped up by the young man who hurriedly stepped forward:

"It doesn't matter. The old lady's soup cakes are really delicious. It's just that I can't go out easily, and it's even more difficult for Neiko to go out......

How ...... else"

After the young man thought for a while, he took the gold treasure in the palm of his hand, beckoned backwards, got a short sword inlaid with treasure in the palm of his hand, drew the sword out of the sheath, and engraved a word on the treasure.

Then, he put away his sword, put Jin Tongbao in the palm of Lao Mu Niang's hand, closed her rough palm, and said with a smile:

"When I go back, I will explain to those family members, and once I have seen this Tongbao with words, I can ask you to send soup cakes into the front hall......

It's just that I have to work two old people, and every few days, I come to talk to me and Uchiko about this folk custom, and send two bowls of hot soup cakes inside, I don't know if it's hard? ”

"It's not hard! It's not hard! ”

Although the old couple are illiterate, they also know that the person in front of them, who has been appearing in front of their stall every three or five days to eat a bowl of soup cakes for nearly a month, must not be mortal.

It's rare that such a person doesn't have the arrogance at all, let alone the arrogance of those rich children. - Every time he comes to eat soup cakes, he always eats them cleanly, and there is nothing left......

He really loves the soup cakes at home.

So he responded one after another.

After thanking the young man with a smile, he asked another question that made the old couple a little strange:

"Old lady, your family's salt grains, can I bring some back and try it with Neiko? Your salt grains make a meal that tastes good. But I don't know where this grain of salt comes from? ”

"Nature, Nature!" When the old man heard this, he didn't wait for the old lady to command, and went to fetch a large bag of salt grains for the young man. But the old lady smiled and said:

"Childe really knows the taste. This grain of salt, in fact, was also bought from a shop with Nabi Luo Lao Gao. It's just that the old man thought that the smell of the sea was too heavy when it came, so he refined it again. Who knew that under this refining, there was another flavor. ”

The young man smiled and nodded, and only said one or two grains, took his own silk, picked two finger-sized grains from the whole bag of salt that the old man had brought and wrapped them, wrapped them in his arms, and then thanked himself again and left.

As soon as they left, there were neighbors who had witnessed the whole passing by and looked at the golden treasure with salivating faces......

"Oh my God! This...... This is not the holy ...... today Holy ......"

A moment later, in front of the entire soup cake stall, knelt down and pressed a group of people.

On the Jin Tongbao that was held high by the old couple who wept with joy, the word "governance" that had just been carved out was particularly dazzling, so that all the people who passed by were shocked and knelt down.

……

After dark.

Luoyang Palace.

Hall of Eternal Life.

Mei Niang looked at Li Zhi walking in with a smile, and couldn't help but quip:

"Jiro has returned, but I don't know if the soup cake tastes good? Do you want Mei Niang to cook another bowl to eat with Jiro? ”

Li Zhi was stunned when he heard this, and immediately turned his head to glare at the servant who was wiping cold sweat, and stared at him when he knelt down with his hands, then he turned his face, put on a smile like a spring breeze, strode over and hugged Mei Niang in his arms, and said with a smile:

"The soup cakes are delicious, but I can't bear to work with you. Fortunately, I have already paid for the golden treasure that can be eaten for a lifetime, and when I want to eat it in the future, I can call it. ”

Mei Niang shook her head unhappily and said:

"That's it. Not to mention that those two are old people, labor them, don't say it's Zhilang you, even Mei Niang can't bear it, just say the golden treasure......

I only asked Jiro, you added your own emperor on it, but who dares to take the flowers? ”

Li Zhi really didn't expect this - in fact, since he was a child, he watched the first emperor Taizong always travel in private clothes, and always helped those people when the monarch and the people were happy, and he had long been envious in his heart, so he took the opportunity to move to Luoyang, and went out every now and then to sprinkle a sprinkle of money and those people who seemed to him to be really embarrassed, and he also talked about his father as the standard.

The same is true today, he has long felt that although the old couple has no worries about food and clothing, it is actually hard. And the last time I went to eat soup cakes, I heard that the old couple's only son was going to marry recently, but now the price of real estate in Luoyang City has tripled because of the Holy Visit-If you want to buy real estate, it will take the old couple and a family of three and a half years.

So he had the heart to give them a Jintong Treasure today to make up for it, but he also thought that after all, Jintong Treasure was a thing in the palace, and he was only afraid that it would not be circulated outside-

What's more, he has also heard of it, saying that the mold of this production of Jin Tongbao was printed with the fingerprint of his mother's eldest grandson, the so-called "Yangyue money" of the mother mold to cast money, it is really rare, coupled with the exquisite workmanship, the color is elegant, and it has become a treasure that the nobles of all countries and the famous families in the Tang Dynasty compete to collect. Easily invisible......

After thinking about it, I was worried that the husband was not guilty but sinned because of his guilt, so he simply engraved his name, thinking that no one would dare to take it lightly now...... And there is such a thing, in the future, when he is busy with national politics and it is inconvenient to understand the current situation of the people, he can ask the old couple to come to the palace to meet him in the name of sending soup cakes to discuss the current people's feelings......

But he accidentally forgot that the emperor's words, once engraved, it was like stamping the national seal, and it was turned into a holy relic, which could not be used......

So secretly annoyed.

Mei Niang looked at Li Zhi with a stunned look, shook her head and smiled, but said lightly:

"What's more, with this thing, it will be convenient for Jiro to see them in the future and discuss the situation of the people. It's just that they are afraid that they will have to bear countless rights and wrongs in the future. According to Mei Niang, it's better not to invite them into the palace again. If we want to go, we can change our clothes and go. ”

Li Zhi had no choice but to nod yes, and heard Ryan laugh again:

"The Lord really doesn't have to worry, with this Emperor's Golden Treasure, I'm afraid that their business will be very good in the future, and I can't say that the real estate can be purchased earlier. The Lord does not need to worry. ”

Li Zhi could only nod again, and then in order to sweep away the blockade in his heart, he took out the small bag with salt grains from his chest and said to Mei Niang:

"Look, I've brought some good stuff with you."

"Isn't it a rare pearl jade? But don't ...... The small vault of this Hall of Eternal Life is already overpowered...... This is...... Salt? ”

Mei Niang raised her eyebrows, opened it and saw that it was two grains of salt, she couldn't help but be stunned, looked at Ruian, who was also stunned, and then looked at Li Zhi, who was standing with a smile, and stretched out her hand to take one and tried it in her mouth, but frowned:

"This grain of salt...... The taste is a little strange...... Not to mention the taste of salt that we usually eat, there is also a fishy smell that we have never seen...... It seems to be a private salt mill. ”

Li Zhi thought that Mei Niang didn't know this, and she was originally going to show off with her, but now when she saw that she only tried this salt and non-official salt, she immediately widened her eyes and was about to ask, but she heard Mei Niang frowning and said:

"It's not just a private salt mill...... This fishy smell is clearly sea smell and sea salt.

And although it is very small, it has obviously undergone some refinement, but the slight astringency and bitterness have a sweet aftertaste, which is obviously unique to Goguryeo and is called 'water essence crushed' private sea salt.

Jiro, where did you get this from? This private sea salt is rarer and more expensive than the official salt produced in Goguryeo!

In addition, Quangai Suwen was extremely close to the salt and iron roads, and the production and sale of smuggled salt in Goguryeo was a felony of the nine clans. Therefore, there is no longer any production and sale of this water essence in Goguryeo...... It is the little bit of storage in our palace, which was entered by the Silla Kingdom as a tribute before.

According to the tribute envoys sent by Jin Chunqiu, they were all just a few smugglers who escaped from Goguryeo in other countries, and they were just a little bit hidden.

Where did you get it? ”

"Guess?"

Li Zhi's mood instantly improved again, and he raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Mei Niang thought for a moment and said in amazement:

"Could it be the soup cake stand...... But where did they get it? This price is extremely expensive, where can you get such things from ordinary stalls? ”

Li Zhi still smiled and said:

"Naturally, they have nowhere to go, but the strange thing is ......"

He raised his eyebrows, looked into Mei Niang's eyes, and said slowly:

"One of the Biluo stall owners next to them is a Baekje spy who has just been fished out by the nets laid by Huaiying. And this water spirit fragment is what they bought with this spy before......"

Seeing Mei Niang's suddenly widened eyes and suddenly became bright and sharp, Li Zhi laughed:

"How? Tomorrow, can the lady go with her husband to taste this soup cake with water essence? ”

Dingding looked at Li Zhi for a while, and Mei Niang suddenly laughed:

“…… Husband Yaxing is like this, Mei Niang should obey her fate. ”
