"How can a thousand jin be enough? I'll give you another thousand catties!"
Seeing how innocent Princess Changle was, Li Xuan added another 500 kilograms!
Two thousand catties of sweet potatoes to marry a princess, it was a huge profit!
"Alright, alright…!"
Princess Chang Le clapped her little hands and cheered excitedly.
Roasted sweet potatoes were too delicious. She really wanted to eat this kind of thing every day!
"Sigh, why did I give birth to such a foodie!”
Li Er sighed in his heart. She had already become this kid's prey, but his daughter was still foolishly happy!
Once he accepted the betrothal gift, it would be difficult for him to go back on his word in the future!
"This brat, what good means!"
Zhangsun Wuji gnashed his teeth in hatred when he saw that he had tricked the princess with just 2,000 pounds of sweet potatoes.
He had been thinking of ways to matchmake his son and the princess's marriage, but he did not expect this kid to appear halfway.
With just a few words, he had arranged a marriage with the princess!
Were the villagers nowadays so shrewd?
"Lord Zhangsun, our bet…?”
Just as he was gritting his teeth, Li Xuan looked at him with a smile.
"Tell me, what do you want?"
Zhangsun Wuji's face was cold, and he did not bother to say anything.
"My request is very simple. Just give me the 12 hectares of land outside Chang 'an City!”
Li Xuan demanded an exorbitant price without any courtesy!
According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, fields were divided into official fields and permanent fields.
As a form of salary, each rank of official had their own land.
However, if he resigned or passed away, the land would be taken back by the country.
Yongye Field was private property and could be bought and sold freely.
Li Xuan didn't know how many permanent fields Zhangsun Wuji had, but he knew how many official fields he had.
According to the laws of the Tang Empire, a first-grade official could get 12 hectares, while a second-grade official could get 10 hectares…
"As long as His Majesty agrees, I'll give it to you…!”
Zhangsun Wuji's old face twitched as he said with a pained expression.
His intestines were about to turn green with regret. If he had known that he would lose so much blood, he would not have made this bet.
Now, his daughter-in-law was gone, and the 12 hectares of land was gone!
He might even become the laughing stock of those old fellows!
At that time, where would he put his old face?
"Father-in-law, do you have any objections?”
Li Xuan looked at Li Er and shouted smoothly!
Those who didn't know better would think that the two of them were sons-in-law!
"Yes!"
Li Er resisted the urge to slap him and nodded.
Serves this old fellow right for throwing away 12 hectares of fertile land. If this old fellow didn't question it, he wouldn't have made the bet.
If he didn't bet, he wouldn't have lost his daughter!
"Fortunately, I didn't gamble!"
Seeing Zhangsun Wuji's pained expression, Cheng Yaojin secretly rejoiced.
In the past, he loved to bet with others. Just now, he had missed the opportunity because he had eaten the sweet potatoes.
Otherwise, he would lose all his land!
Zhangsun Wuji was a relative of the royal family and often received rewards. He was an outsider and did not know how to do business. His entire family's income depended on the 1,000 mu of land.
"Pick two thousand catties of sweet potatoes and wash them clean. Send them to the palace tomorrow!”
"Also, hurry back and steam a pot of sweet potatoes to entertain our distinguished guests at noon!”
"Oh right, prepare the hotpot for me…!”
After obtaining the 12 hectares of fertile land, Li Xuan hurriedly instructed his servants.
After being delayed for nearly an hour, he was starving!
"Sweet potatoes for lunch. That's great!”
Princess Changle was overjoyed when she heard that there would be sweet potatoes for lunch.
He had only eaten one just now, and it was not satisfying at all!
……
"Mmm, it's delicious! Another one…!"
In the Li family's courtyard, Cheng Yaojin picked up a sweet potato and took a bite without peeling it.
This was already the fifth one he had eaten!
Seeing that there was not much left in the pot, Li Er and Wei Zheng also increased their chewing speed.
As for Princess Changle, who was chewing slowly, she grabbed two and ran towards Li Xuan.
There was no other way. With her speed, there would probably be nothing left in the pot before she finished the first one!
"Do you want to eat one too?"
Princess Changle handed a sweet potato to Li Xuan.
"No, the delicacies should be reserved for the most distinguished guests. I'll just eat hotpot!”
Li Xuan waved his hand and continued cooking the mutton.
"Leave the delicious ones for us and the unpalatable ones for yourself. You're really a good person!”
Princess Chang Le couldn't bear to see him sucking on the spiciness.
She had tasted it just now. This so-called hotpot was so spicy that her tongue hurt. It was very disgusting!
However, he had left it for her and the delicious sweet potatoes for them!
She had never seen such a down-to-earth person!
"Buddha said, if I don't enter hell, who will? If my pain can bring joy to everyone, I will be proud despite my pain!”
Li Xuan said righteously.
Then, he quickly boiled the mutton and ate happily!
In the original world, sweet potatoes in the countryside were actually used to feed pigs!
Unexpectedly, in this world, it had become a delicacy for the emperor.
"I'll help you eat some!"
Princess Chang Le saw that he was sweating profusely from the spiciness and felt a little sorry for him. She put down the sweet potato and picked up the chopsticks to scoop it up.
"Don't, don't…! I can bear this kind of hardship myself!"
"So hot, so spicy, hiss…!"
"You're a princess, how can you suffer like this?”
"Hiss, hiss…It's so spicy…!”
"I can't afford to hurt you. Come, continue eating your sweet potatoes…!”
"Hiss…! Although it was spicy, it was still quite delicious…!”
……
The flowers and evaluation tickets had not been touched for a long time. Who would move them?
