Li Xuan prepared a sweet potato feast for the emperor and company while he ate hotpot.
In fact, the five of them had tasted the hotpot just now, but all of them were so spicy that their tongues stuck out. None of them were willing to take a second bite!
However, Li Xuan gave them a taste of hotpot base!
Originally, both parties were happily eating with relish!
However, Princess Chang Le's sympathy broke this harmonious scene.
After a few mouthfuls of mutton, she couldn't stop.
As she sipped, she scooped out the vegetables from the red soup and ate to her heart's content.
"So spicy! Delicious…!"
Princess Chang Le fanned herself with her hands and continued to fish!
Although she had never eaten spicy food before, her adaptability was very strong.
This 'spicy and happy' feeling made her unable to stop!
"Imperial Father, come and try it. The vegetables in the pot are delicious!”
Princess Chang Le fanned her mouth as she called out to Li Er.
Li Er, who was already half-full from eating, walked over with Wei Zheng and Zhangsun Wuji.
The three of them only tasted two mouthfuls of mutton and could not move their feet!
The dregs in the pot were unpalatable, but the dishes cooked were delicious!
The sweet potato just now paled in comparison to this!
Soon, Cheng Yaojin ran over when he saw them eating with relish.
"I didn't expect antique soup to taste like this!”
Wei Zheng, who was sweating profusely from eating, could not help but sigh.
Antique soup had existed since ancient times, but it was not presentable at all. The high-ranking officials and nobles did not even care about it.
However, after adding the spiciness, the more he ate, the more fragrant it became. The more he ate, the more addicted he became!
"Li Fuma, how did you make this hotpot? Can you come to my residence one day and teach the chefs in my residence?”
Cheng Yaojin said in a muffled voice as he boiled a piece of mutton.
He didn't care if Li Ergao was unhappy. He directly changed his name from a little kid to Fu Ma.
Li Xuan's heart stirred as he instinctively smelled a business opportunity!
"It's useless to teach him. Chang 'an City doesn't have the raw materials to make hotpot!”
Li Xuan pretended to shake his head nonchalantly.
At the same time, he was secretly calculating in his heart how he could make use of the chili peppers to earn another sum of money!
This was the current Duke of the country. He had plenty of money. It would be a waste not to slaughter him!
"What materials do you need? If you tell me, I'll get the servants to buy it!”
Old Cheng still didn't know that there was a trap in front of him. He covered his head and walked forward.
"Chili, do you have any?"
"Chili…?"
Cheng Yaojin scratched his head with a blank expression. He had obviously never heard of such a thing.
"What does it look like? Perhaps I'll only know what it is after I see it!”
"Over there…!"
Li Xuan pointed at the skewers of dried chili hanging on the wall.
Cheng Yaojin looked over but didn't recognize him. Not only him, Li Er and the others also didn't recognize him.
"Since you have it here, then I don't need to buy it, haha…!”
Cheng Yaojin said shamelessly.
"I brought this from overseas. There are very few of them, and I don't have much left. I reckon it'll be gone after a few meals…! Why don't you wait until next year?"
Li Xuan naturally didn't give him a chance to take advantage of him and pushed it to next year.
He believed that with this old man's personality, he would not wait until next year. He would most likely buy it at a high price.
"Oh right, my wife hasn't been eating well recently, and she doesn't have a good appetite. These foreign chilies might have the effect of curing illnesses. Young Master Li, can you part with them and sell them all to me…? Oh right, the price is negotiable!"
Hearing that there weren't many of these things left, Zhangsun Wuji raised his eyelids and hurriedly said.
He did not want to wait another year for such delicious food.
"Don't you dare fight with me, you old thing. I was the one who saw the chili first…!”
Cheng Yaojin was instantly displeased. He looked at Li Xuan and said," Li Fuma, don't believe his nonsense. That tigress of his is fair and fat. How can she have a bad appetite? How about this? Sell the chili to me, Old Cheng. The price is negotiable!”
"Sigh, this…?"
Li Xuan pretended to look troubled as he wondered if he should sell it by catty or by piece.
Other than the chilies that he had dried in the yard, he still had a lot of them in the field. He should be able to earn a lot.
"So what if you like it? Trading was about fair competition and the highest bidder would get it!”
Zhangsun Wuji retorted without hesitation.
"Nephew, just name a price. I, Old Cheng, want it all!”
Cheng Yaojin couldn't be bothered to waste his breath on Zhangsun Wuji. He directly asked Li Xuan about the price. He even changed the way he addressed him to get closer!
"These are rare items, each one precious…!”
Seeing the two of them fight until their faces turned red, Li Xuan decided to sell them by the number!
