In this way, it is only a matter of time before the stir-fry practice is leaked.

Therefore, not long after the opening of Fumanlou, many restaurants also began to sell stir-fried vegetables.

It's just that the taste of their stir-fried dishes is not as delicious as Fumanlou.

Not only because Fumanlou has Qin Tian's secret recipe, but also because the condiments and seasonings used in Fumanlou when stir-frying are all blended recorded in the secret recipe.

There are countless condiments like MSG, they can learn how to make them, but they can't steal the secret recipes of those spices.

However, some people really want to eat it, so the seasoning of the stir-fry has also become a major source of income for Fu Manlou.

As the popularity of stir-fry becomes higher and higher, many ordinary people also want to try it themselves.

As a result, the people's demand for iron pots has risen, and the price of various iron tools has also increased.

If there is demand, there will be a market, and Li Shimin also encourages invention and creation, so in just a few years, Datang's steel production has grown by leaps and bounds.

In fact, there is not much progress in technology, but there are more factories and places to smelt steel, so the price of iron will naturally be cheaper.

The more people who invest in the smelting industry, the lower the difficulty of making a breakthrough in smelting technology, and the greater the possibility of a breakthrough.

However, these have nothing to do with Qin Tian, he has been very interested in his neighbors recently.

Of course, this is not because his new neighbor is a widow with a little loli, but because this little loli is not only beautiful, but also very intelligent.

The most important thing is that this little girl's surname is Wu.

This reminded Qin Tian of a certain famous figure, but Qin Tian couldn't be sure if this person was the empress he thought he was.

The reason is also very simple, Qin Tian did not know the name of the empress.

To be precise, most of the women in history are actually unable to leave their own names, and most of them can only leave one surname, such as Li, Zhang, Wang, and the like.

Only a very small number of women, who have great merit and happen to be lucky enough, can leave their names in the history books.

Wu Cao also had a similar experience of his own.

Looking through all the history books, you can't find the slightest record of Wu Cao's early name from any historical records.

Wu Zetian's Zetian was given the title of Zetian Great Sage Emperor by her son after she abdicated in the first year of Shenlong.

And Wu Zetian was left behind when he was dying: "Go to the emperor".

Of course, it is still unknown whether this so-called Emperor Go was released by her herself.

In short, after that, she called "the Great Holy Empress".

So after that, she had the title of Queen of Heaven, and later generations also called her by Wu Zetian's name.

And before that, Wu Zetian had also personally changed his name, named Wu Cao, which means the sun and the moon are in the sky, and the light is heaven and earth!

I have to say that if she dares to give herself this name, Wu Zetian is really crazy, and she is indeed crazy capital.

By the way, after her death, many of Wu Cao's self-created characters, including Wu Cao's characters, were abolished.

It's just that there are still people in later generations who are commensurate with Wu Cao, so Wu Cao's character is retained.

As for the name further aback, no one knows.

No one knows what Wu Zetian's name was before she became the emperor and before she ascended the throne, and no one cared about her name.

There are so many women in the history books, how many can leave their own names?

Wu Cao is no exception.

So thousands of years have passed, even if Qin Tian is from the next generation, he actually doesn't know what Wu Cao's real name is.

Not sure is uncertain, Qin Tian still has a good impression of this little girl named Wu Mei.

The little girl is smart enough, sensible enough, very well-behaved, and never does anything annoying to people.

Qin Tian and Wu Mei's family met because of Wu Mei's serious illness.

In fact, it's just a little cold and cold, but the child's physique is relatively poor, the resistance is relatively weak, and he can't get timely medical treatment, so he almost died.

Fortunately, they were Qin Tian's neighbors, Qin Tian made a timely move, and Wu Mei was able to leave a life.

Since then, Wu Mei has often visited her home, and Wu Zetian's mother, Yang, often gives the Qin Tian family some food and other things.

After the two families gradually became acquainted, Wu Cao often came to Mu Chun and Ling Xia to play together.

Wu Mei especially likes to drink Mu Chun and sit and read together.

The books Mu Chun read were all books that were difficult to see in the world, some of them were written down by Qin Tian in her spare time, and some of them were copied by herself.

In short, there are many contents in the book that have caused a great shock to Wu Mei's young heart.

The time with Mu Chun also made Wu Mei learn a lot, and her three views, which were not very reliable, were reshaped by an invisible twist at this time.

Qin Tian didn't care, in his opinion, a little girl couldn't do anything after she read a book.

He just really liked the little girl's attitude towards learning.

After slowly getting to know each other, Qin Tian also knew why Wu Mei came to settle in Chang'an City with her mother Yang.

It's easy to say.

Wu Mei's father was actually a businessman, engaged in timber trading, and his family was well-off.

In the last years of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, when Li Yuan was in Hedong, he stayed in the martial arts many times, and the two got acquainted.

Later, after Li Yuan raised an army against the Sui in Taiyuan, the Wu family was Wu Mei's father at that time, and he funded money, food, and clothing.

In the Tang Dynasty, Wu Mei's father became an official as a "Yuan Cong Meritorious Hero" to the Ministry of Industry and the Governor of Jingzhou, and was named the Duke of Yingguo.

This status is not high, and he has completely bought the identity of a high-ranking nobleman, and he completely belongs to the high-ranking nobles.

It's a pity that the family fell into the middle of the road, and Wu Mei's father fell ill and died.

After that, Wu Mei's two younger brothers began to think crookedly, at first they just wanted to occupy the family property, and later they even wanted to occupy Wu Mei's mother, Yang, together.

Yang had no choice but to leave the house with Wu Mei, as for the other children, they were left to be taken care of by other people, every time they said this, Yang cried bitterly, sad for their misfortune.

There's no way around it.

Even if there is a slight chance of surviving, the Yang family will not take Wu Mei to join his relatives alone.

Now it's better, and when I met Qin Tian, a kind person, the life of the two of them suddenly got a lot better.

For Qin Tian, this was just a gesture, but he didn't expect the Yang family to have other thoughts.

Although the Yang family is a widow and has a child, after all, his background is not low, and in Yang's opinion, Qin Tian is just a doctor in a small medical hall, and he is naturally worthy of him!

The Yang family doesn't ask for any status for themselves, they just want to be a concubine for Qin Tian and raise Wu Mei safely.

Raising Wu Mei and finding a good family for her to marry, Yang felt that he would be satisfied with this life.

So Yang found a matchmaker to speak for him.

When Qin Tian learned the news, he was stunned.

He never thought that I would treat you as a good neighbor, and you would want to fall in love with me?

Qin Tian couldn't laugh or cry a little.

But I have to say that in this era, no, no matter what era it is placed in, a widow with a drag oil bottle will not have a good life.

In this case, it is normal for Yang to want to find a support for himself.

Understanding is understanding, but this does not mean that Qin Tian will agree.

What are you kidding, he doesn't need a wife, let alone a concubine!

It's no problem to take care of this couple, it's just a gesture, so they don't ask each other to give anything!

When Li Shimin learned the news, he was so happy that he couldn't straighten his waist.

However, this also led to another question for Li Shimin: "Brother Qin, is it true that you have never been married?" ”

After all, after so many years, Li Shimin has never seen Qin Tian's wife.

Qin Tian nodded: "Don't ask why, if you ask again, I'll kick you out!" ”

Li Shimin nodded suddenly, swearing that he would never say it!

"But since these two women have nowhere to go, I have some ways in the palace, so it is better to send them to the palace, so that life can be better."

Qin Tian glanced at Li Shimin helplessly: "I really don't know if you are kind or really stupid." ”

"That palace is something that ordinary women can enter? I'm afraid that not long after entering, this girl will die! ”

"It's not that serious......" Li Shimin said with some uncertainty.

"Not that serious?" Qin Tian snorted disdainfully: "You go back and let people inquire in private, it's not a good life for ordinary women to go to the palace, it's to endure hardship!" ”

"Of course, the kind of person who can't even eat enough to eat, going to the palace is indeed a good way out."

Qin Tian glanced at Li Shimin: "How many people do you think there are like Datang?" ”

Li Shimin asked with some uncertainty: "There shouldn't be many saints who are so holy today, right?" ”

Qin Tian didn't care: "You just stayed in the palace for too long, and you don't know about the people's suffering!" ”

"The life of the people in Chang'an City is indeed good, but you go to that remote place to see, no, you don't need any remote place, you just need to walk a few hundred miles outside, and you can see the people with yellow faces and thin muscles!"

"How is that possible!"

Li Shimin obviously didn't want to believe what Qin Tian said.

Qin Tian sneered: "What does this Tang Dynasty have to do with ordinary people?" ”

"Should you not have enough to eat or not have enough to eat, the excesses and miscellaneous taxes are enough to force some ordinary people to death in a disaster year."

Qin Tian sighed: "You should be grateful for the sweet potato, corn and potato, otherwise the current population of Datang will be at least forty percent less!" ”

At this time, according to rough statistics, the population of Datang was approaching the 10,000 mark.

If it weren't for sweet potatoes and corn, I'm afraid that 60 million would be a lot now.

Li Shimin frowned, of course he knew what the staple food of the people was now, and he didn't dare to imagine how those people would live if there were no sweet potatoes and corn.

"Although sweet potatoes and potatoes can be eaten, they don't support people!"

Qin Tian sighed helplessly.

He didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing that he had brought these crops to the world in advance.

The advantage is that more people can eat enough and can feed more people, but the disadvantage is that many people have yellow muscles and cannot effectively supplement protein.

"If you have the opportunity, try to go out and see it yourself, don't be confined to this small Chang'an City, thinking that the whole world is like Chang'an City!"

Li Shimin left worriedly.

It's just that neither of them knew it, but the Yang family noticed the scene where Li Shimin and Qin Tian were talking happily.

In the early years, when Li Yuan lived in the martial arts, the Yang family had met Li Yuan.

Later, the martial arts family made a fortune, and the Yang family was even fortunate to meet Li Yuan's family, which naturally included Li Shimin.

Of course, Li Shimin will definitely not remember this woman who he may not have noticed.

But the Yang family knew Li Shimin's identity.

Seeing that the two were so familiar with each other, the Yang family never dared to say anything about taking concubines from now on.

A person like her is not qualified to be a concubine, but I'm afraid that being a maid is not qualified!

Although he didn't know why such a character would only live in this small house, the Yang family keenly seized the opportunity and tried to make his daughter have a good relationship with Qin Tian.

Maybe the opportunity for their family's development will be in the hands of their daughter.

Qin Tian noticed the one hundred and eighty-degree change in Yang's attitude, but he only thought that the other party was because of his refusal, and he didn't care too much.

However, the relationship between the two little guys and Wu Mei has always been good, and they often play together.

No matter how smart Wu Mei is, she is just a child, and she doesn't understand the stakes at all.

However, Li Shimin once mentioned the matter of entering the palace with the Yang family.

Regarding this matter, the Yang family is a widow, so it is naturally not suitable to enter the palace, but her daughter Wu Mei has this intention.

refers to the age of fourteen, Wu Mei will be brought into the palace by Li Shimin, and she will not worry about eating and drinking.

With Li Shimin's assurance, Yang was relieved and no longer worried.

That can be today's promise, how can it be fake!

In the following years, as Wu Mei grew up, her attitude towards Qin Tian became more and more subtle.

The relationship between Mu Chun and Lingxia and Wu Mei is not as good as it was when she was a child.

It's strange to anyone who hasn't changed in more than ten years, let alone your neighbor.

After all, Qin Tian and Li Shimin have known each other for more than seventy or eighty years, and ten years ago, Mu Chun and Lingxia were like children, and after ten years, the two of them have not even changed at all!

Qin Tian has not changed, and it can be said that he has a good appearance, but his two apprentices are not only not tall, but even their appearance is very eye-catching when they were young.

Knowing that these people are extraordinary, Wu Mei will not be so free and easy when she gets along with them, and she will be a little more utilitarian.

And this is the most disliked thing for several people.

But this situation is unavoidable, and in the end, the distance between the two sides can only become farther and farther apart.

This situation lasted until Wu Mei was brought into the palace by Li Shimin.

And over the years, Li Shimin has also noticed the extraordinaryness of Qin Tian and his disciples, and the relationship between the two sides has gradually become a little weird.

Many times Li Shimin came and sat for a long time, but he couldn't speak for a long time.

Since then, Li Shimin has come less and less, and the exchanges between the two sides have gradually approached none.
