The high-end positioning of the West Market and the East Market is different.

It is a mixed bag, including businessmen from various countries.

The goods here are both good and bad, and they are more suitable for people of different classes.

Li Zhi bought a walking stick full of jewels and jade here, and prepared to give it to his grandfather Li Yuan.

In addition, he bought two pieces of jadeite from a merchant in the country of Pyu, and prepared to ask the craftsmen of the Shaofu Supervisor to help make two pendants.

This is what he prepared for Li Lizhen and the little princess of Chengyang.

Li Li is quiet by nature and doesn't go out of the palace much, so Li Zhi has arranged her congratulatory gift since last year.

Chengyang is also two years old this year, so Li Zhi also plans to help him buy one.

It's a pity that he couldn't find a gift for himself and Li Su here.

So he could only send the jade to the Shaofu Supervisor first, and then returned to the palace with some disappointment.

This year is a little too busy, so Li Zhi almost forgot his father's birthday.

At this time, I thought that the preparation of the birthday gift seemed a little tight.

Li Zhi returned to the palace and sat in the study and thought about it for a long time, until he had dinner, and he was a little unsavory.

Liu An, who was waiting on the side, saw that Li Zhi hadn't eaten much, so he asked with concern: "Your Highness has lost your appetite, but you are not very satisfied with the dishes?" ”

Li Zhi glanced at a pot of mutton and a few stews on the table, and couldn't help but complain: "It's stews every day, and it's really a bit boring to eat." ”

After saying this, he unconsciously remembered the scene when he cooked every day in the early days of his business.

Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he slapped his thighs violently.

This action startled Liu An beside him.

He was just about to open his mouth to ask Li Zhi what the situation was.

I heard Li Zhi say excitedly: "This king knows what kind of gift to give to his father." ”

What Li Zhi thought of was not high-end goods, but stir-fried vegetables.

Today, Datang's steel production has increased significantly.

As more and more steel began to be supplied to the people, Datang has initially met the conditions for the implementation of iron pot stir-frying.

In addition, at this time, there are many varieties of vegetables in Datang, and all kinds of seasonings are also available, so I can completely promote the stir-fried vegetables.

And in the process, he can also open a few restaurants to seize a wave of dividends.

As soon as this idea came out, Li Zhi was a little impatient.

Therefore, he ran to the general prison early the next morning and asked people to make a few iron pots for himself.

This thing looks inconspicuous, but it's quite a hassle to make.

One of the most important steps is molding.

This kind of thing can't be fast, so Li Zhi can only wait honestly and patiently.

During this time, he personally went to the resettlement site to see off the victims who were preparing to leave.

By the way, I also gave them some food to eat on the way.

Grain and everything had been prepared in advance, so the evacuation of the victims was quick.

In less than two days, the entire settlement became somewhat empty.

The remaining more than 2,000 people were gathered by Li Zhi in the same square area.

The remaining houses are ready to be sold.

The houses here are not far from Chang'an City, and they are well built and beautifully built, with complete facilities.

The main thing is that the price is much cheaper than that of Chang'an City.

In order to attract buyers, Li Zhi is also preparing to develop a fang market here.

In this way, residents will be able to buy daily necessities nearby.

As a result of his arrangements, the settlement, which had just begun to become deserted, was soon lively again.

A new round of construction has begun here.

After a round of intense busyness, Li Zhi's customized iron pot was also made.

Li Zhi and Li Su came to the imperial dining room with the iron pot.

There are still two days left before Li Shimin's birthday, and Li Zhi will arrange for people to build several stoves for stir-frying.

On the day of his birthday, all the princes came to the Lizheng Hall early and offered their own gifts.

Only Li Zhi and the two have never shown up.

The absence of both made everyone else wonder a little.

Empress Eldest Sun and Concubine Yang Shu, who had just been promoted, had been secretly anxious all the time.

The two of them had been secretly observing Li Shimin's face, for fear that he would be furious because of this.

Li Chengqian and Li Tai just thought that Li Zhi and Li Su had something to delay at first, so they didn't care much.

However, as the time got closer and closer to noon, and it was even time for dinner, neither of them showed up.

At this time, Li Chengqian and Li Tai couldn't sit still.

Li Chengqian spoke first: "What happened to the sixth and ninth brothers?" Why haven't you come to congratulate your father on his birthday until now? Could it be that you have forgotten? ”

Li Tai also said on the side: "The two of them often get together to study some strange things, and they must be so obsessed with it at this time that they even missed their father's birthday." ”

When Li Lizhen heard the two of them say this, she immediately stood up and retorted: "The sixth brother and the ninth brother will not forget their father's birthday, they must have been delayed because of important things." ”

Li Chengqian flicked his sleeves and said, "What's so important?" Can the two of them even miss the birthday banquet? ”

Li Tai spoke: "In my opinion, the two of them must have had a great time, so they forgot the time." ”

Li Lizhen still wanted to refute, but she usually didn't like to argue with others, so she had something in her heart but couldn't say it.

could only say with an anxious face: "It must not be the case, the two of them must have encountered a big event." ”

Zhang Ananda was also more and more anxious the more he waited, and he originally thought that Li Zhi and the others were delayed.

But now it was time for dinner, but the two of them were nowhere to be seen.

This made his heart become a little unconfident.

It stands to reason that Li Zhi will definitely not forget such an important matter, not to mention that he reminded him a few days ago.

But now, they haven't seen the two of them for a long time.

So he cautiously said to Li Shimin: "Xu is really delayed, why don't you go and see it in person?" ”

Li Shimin's heart has also been wondering.

At this moment, after listening to Zhang Ananda's words, he nodded and said, "It's okay to go and see, if there is really something, I will tell them not to worry." ”

After Li Shimin finished saying this, the princes who were waiting to watch the excitement next to him all showed a wry smile.

If this happened to them, it would definitely be a thunderous rage.

Now that Li Zhi is here, his father has thought about it for them.

The faces of Li Chengqian and Li Tai also became a little ugly.

They didn't expect their father to be so tolerant of Li Zhi and the others.

Zhang Ayan understood Li Shimin's words, and immediately walked out quickly.

But as soon as he reached the door, he stopped in his tracks with a look of astonishment.
