"Shopkeeper, can I have another serving?”Li Shiming finished the last bowl of savory tofu to his heart's content!
He even licked the bowl clean without any regard for his image. If the historian or Wei Zheng saw this, they would probably scold him.
Of course, he might end up eating and drinking like Li Shiming!
With such a delicacy, just the smell alone was enough to make one unable to stop. How could they care about etiquette!
Although he had heard about the rules from Yang Xuan, Li Shiming still couldn't help but want to eat another serving!
As the emperor, although he usually did not put on airs, he still did not want to miss the special treatment that should be given, let alone such delicious food!
"I'm sorry, but everyone in this shop gets a serving every day!”Yang Xuan flatly refused.
Wang De was shocked when he heard Yang Xuan's rejection. How could he dare to reject Tian Zi? He slammed the table and said angrily,"How dare you, do you know?"
As he spoke, he was about to reveal Li Shiming's identity. It was a great favor for him to have Tian Zi eat here, but he didn't expect Yang Xuan to refuse!
"Alright." Li Shi Min frowned and waved his hand to interrupt him before he could reveal his identity.
Although he loved the food here, he still had his bottom line. He would not bully others!
If even the emperor started to bully others, and the person he was bullying was a strange person, perhaps someone with a master's background, the reputation of the sage that he, Li Shiming, had painstakingly built up among the people would be ruined!
One had to know that during the incident at the Black Tortoise Sect, the various wealthy families among the people had all voiced their grievances!
In addition, Yang Xuan's culinary skills and calligraphy skills were top-notch in the world. Li Shiming naturally wanted to subdue such a strange person!
Yang Xuan frowned when he heard Wang De's angry voice. He said calmly,"If you cause trouble, the shop will block you forever!”
Wang De's angry voice just now had exposed his croaky voice. Yang Xuan had a guess that this old butler should be a eunuch, and the old master he followed must also be from the palace!
A man, judging by his age, was definitely not a prince. He was most likely Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, who was said to have created the Zhenguan reign!
Although Li Shiming was famous throughout the ages, he had to abide by Yang Xuan's rules in the Vermillion Bird Immortal Restaurant!
Li Shi Min stood up and walked to the counter, saying to Yang Xuan,""Shopkeeper, since you don't want another set, can you ask for a copy of the ink treasure?”
After saying that, he stared at Yang Xuan. Although he loved delicious food, he did not forget the words at the door. The calligraphy was definitely at the peak!
If those four words were written by the shopkeeper in front of him, he would definitely understand the meaning behind his words!
"This shop only provides vegetables, no calligraphy!”Yang Xuan knew what he meant. Li Shiming had received an elite education since he was a child, so he naturally had the ability to see things!
Li Shi Min was a mighty lord in the eyes of others, but so what? What did that have to do with him?
"Eh!" Li Shi Min was speechless, no matter how good his temper was!
Although Wang De did not say his name just now, he should be able to guess that he was from the palace from his croaky voice, right?
A commoner, even if he was an extraordinary person, wasn't this too arrogant? Li Shi Min couldn't help but be furious at how he treated him!
"Yang Xuan, don't refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit!”Wang De narrowed his eyes and coldly said.
Now that His Majesty had been rejected twice and was still an emperor, he could no longer control the anger in his heart!
If it wasn't for Li Shi Min not giving the order, he would have already caught this daring person!
So what if he had superb cooking skills? So what if he had calligraphy that had reached the peak of perfection? In his eyes, the Emperor was his heaven!
He would kill whoever dared to defy the heavens!
"Oh? Is that so? Then let me have a taste of what punishment is!”Yang Xuan said calmly.
Looking at Wang De was like looking at a dead man!
A threat? Heh, threats were useful these days, so why did he need a knife?
"You…" Wang De was so angry that he wanted to say something more. The inner strength in his body surged, and his hands formed claws, as if he would capture and kill this detestable person in front of him at any moment!
Seeing Yang Xuan's gaze, Wang De's heart couldn't help but tremble. This kind of gaze was like a hunter staring at his prey!
"What are you guys doing?"
At this moment, Wu Meiniang had just served the dishes to the customers. When she returned to the counter and saw the tense scene, she grabbed the tray tightly and stood beside Yang Xuan. Her eyebrows stood up as she said!
It was as if she would smash her plate at anyone who dared to move. No matter who it was, they could not bully her manager!
He was like a leopard protecting its cubs!
Wang De looked at Wu Meiniang in disdain. With his hidden force, he was confident that he could subdue both Wu Meiniang and the ordinary Yang Xuan in one move!
"Alright, shopkeeper, help us calculate how much it is!”Li Shi Min squinted his eyes at Yang Xuan and thought to himself, This man is not simple!
Then, he looked at Wu Meiniang, who was protecting her child, and said gently,"Miss, what's your name? How about you follow me? I'll pay you ten times the salary he gave you!”
He hadn't seen such a heroic girl in a long time. He didn't want to take her in. It was just the desire of an emperor to control. He wanted to collect all the beautiful, delicious, and fun things in the world!
Just like how he treated Yang Xuan, if it wasn't for the fact that Yang Xuan was somewhat talented and mysterious, he wouldn't have paid too much attention.
I asked you to be an imperial chef, but you don't want to cook?
Kill!
I told you to write, but you didn't?
Kill!
Li Shi Min's hands had been stained with the blood of countless people, from nobles to peddlers, all for the sake of creating a peaceful world!
Only after all these years did he restrain his temper a little!
"You're so rude. Do you think you're so great just because you have money? Let alone ten times, even if it was a hundred times or a thousand times, I wouldn't follow!”Wu Meiniang angrily refused.
After saying that, he glanced at Yang Xuan, afraid that he would mind.
When Wang De saw that a waiter dared to treat the Emperor with such an attitude, he was so angry that his body trembled. When did so many people who did not know etiquette appear in this day and age?
If he dared to offend even the emperor, wasn't he afraid that the army would arrive and wipe out his entire family?
"A total of 1,800 wen, pay up!”Yang Xuan said lightly.
Seeing Wu Mei Niang's attitude towards Li Shi Min, he couldn't help but feel amused. Who would have thought that in his previous life, she was only a talent in Li Shi Min's palace!
But now, she could talk back to Li Shiming. Of course, this was because Wu Meiniang didn't know Li Shiming's identity.
Otherwise, how could Wu Meiniang have the guts to contradict the current emperor!
However, Yang Xuan did not know that there was another reason. It was because of him. For Yang Xuan, Wu Meiniang could do things that she usually did not dare to do!
