Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and the others looked at Li Shiming speechlessly.
Can't you be more promising, Your Majesty!
The Emperor of the Great Tang was the ruler of the world and had the wealth of the four seas.
He had been given a luxurious life and delicious food. What good things had he not eaten?
Was it really necessary for a cake to be used to relieve the victims?
"You guys try it too."
Li Shiming felt the gazes of Zhangsun Wuji and the others and was a little unhappy. He had to let them experience the charm of this cake!
Hence…
Li Shiming tore off one-third of the remaining cake and kept two-thirds for himself. The rest was given to Zhangsun Wuji.
He let Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Yuchi Gong, Cheng Yaojin, Li Jing, and Li Ji share the food.
……
He was really speechless.
His Majesty had really had enough.
Was it that delicious?
Zhangsun Wuji and the others didn't know whether to laugh or cry. They felt that the Emperor had eaten too many delicacies and was just looking for something new.
People like him were different. They still understood the people's livelihood.
He definitely wouldn't be like His Majesty, who had never seen the world. Hmph!
Zhangsun Wuji took the cake and divided it into six portions. One portion was not enough to fill the gaps between their teeth. Then, the six of them threw it into their mouths.
" Huh?!"
Instantly, the eyes of the six people lit up and they started chewing with all their might.
"How fragrant!"
It was sweet and delicious, and the soft texture was really memorable.
"There's actually such delicious food in the human world. I, Old Cheng, have really lived for decades in vain. Those pastries I ate before are nothing!”
"It's really too delicious. The fragrance on my teeth and cheeks is lingering, and the aftertaste is sweet.”
"This old man has been in charge of the Ministry of Revenue for so many years, but I didn't know that our Great Tang had such delicious food!”
Fang Xuanling's sudden words made Li Shiming, Zhangsun Wuji, and the others stop chewing.
That's right, what was this delicious thing made of?
Among the five grains, there was nothing that tasted the same as this. It definitely wasn't.
"Let's go and ask this youth called Li Xian.”
Li Shi Min said with a smile.
"Zhen also wants to meet this young master of the Li family.”
……
In the living room, the servants served fragrant tea to Li Shimin and the others.
"Esteemed guests, please wait a moment. My young master will be done soon.”
Butler Li Zhong said with a smile.
"This old servant still has some work to do, so I won't accompany you any longer.”
After Li Zhong left, Li Shi Min nodded with satisfaction and smiled.
"Humble, polite, and sincere. It seems that the Li family's upbringing is not bad.”
"No wonder he took the initiative to help the victims.”
Zhangsun Wuji reminded.
"Your Majesty, don't forget that Li Xian is not providing relief to the victims for free. He wants the victims to work for him.”
"Although I don't know what exactly it is, it's definitely not simple to pay so much food. Your Majesty, be careful that there's a conspiracy.”
At a glance, there were two to three thousand disaster victims outside.
If one person had one jin of grain a day, that would be 3,000 jin. In ten days to half a month, that would be 30,000 to 40,000 jin.
This was under the premise of not increasing the number of people.
With so much food thrown in, how could the work of the disaster victims be simple?
Zhangsun Wuji did not believe it.
"Heh, sinister Zhangsun, you old man, you just like to think of people in a bad light. Maybe they just want to help the victims.”
Yuchi Gong looked at Zhangsun Wuji unwillingly and sneered.
"You can't think that everyone is evil just because you're a person who doesn't get up early without benefits.”
Zhangsun Wuji was instantly enraged.
"You!"
However, before he could say anything, he saw Li Shiming's unhappy gaze.
In an instant, Zhangsun Wuji and Yuchi Gong fell silent.
"We'll know when we meet him.”
Li Shi Min didn't want to say more, but he was still leaning towards Yuchi Gong's words.
When he was outside, he sized up Li Xian from afar. In Li Shiming's impression, Li Xian was not the kind of person who would play tricks, but more like a pure and innocent youth.
It was just that she was spoiled and spoke rather crudely.
"Sorry to keep you waiting. May I know why you're looking for me?”
Just as he thought of this, Li Xian changed into casual clothes and entered. He crossed his hands and bowed to everyone.
Err…
Li Shiming instantly felt his face hurt.
Just now, she was still looking down on Li Xian for being vulgar.
In the end, when he appeared, he was polite, humble, and polite. He was completely a good child with a good upbringing.
It was a completely different person from when he was shouting at the disaster victims outside.
What was going on?
"Are you really the young master of the Li family who was outside just now?”
Without waiting for Li Shiming to speak, Cheng Yaojin scratched his head curiously.
"You were clearly talking like a profligate young master before, but now you're so polite. I really thought that you were two different people.”
When Li Xian heard this, he immediately smiled.
"You may not know."
"Among the refugees, their character is uneven. In order to ensure that the cakes can be distributed to everyone smoothly, we naturally have to be a little fierce to intimidate them.”
"The guests don't look like bad people, so I'll naturally treat them with courtesy.”
Li Shi Min and the others finally understood, especially Li Shi Min, who nodded in satisfaction, looking at Li Xian with admiration.
He was good at receiving people and things, and knew how to speak.
With this ability, an official in the Chamberlain of Dependencies would be able to take charge of the Great Tang's diplomatic affairs.
Talent!
"Brother Li Xian, we came this time to ask for advice on a matter.”
Li Shi Min asked.
"What kind of food is your cake made of? Why haven't we eaten it before?”
Li Xian smiled.
"So it's because of this."
"Of course you haven't eaten it. I bought it from a Hu merchant in the Western Regions. It's called corn.”
"It can be eaten raw, boiled, or pressed into dough to make pancakes.”
"It tastes sweet and delicious!"
“……”
Li Xian's words were very vivid. In addition, the few of them had already eaten the pancakes, so they instantly became greedy and could not help but drool.
"Good Li Xian, stop talking. Quickly bring the corn over and let us have a taste.”
Cheng Yao's golden mouth was not polite and directly requested.
Although Li Shi Min and the others didn't say anything, it was obvious that they also wanted to eat.
"No problem."
Li Xian said with a smile.
"One boiled corn per person, two pancakes, a bowl of noodles, and pickles for free.”
"Would you like to pay together or separately?”
Li Shi Min was stunned and blurted out.
"You still want money?"
Li Xian immediately rolled his eyes.
"Why not? My family's corn is all grown in the field. Manpower is used to serve it and fertilizer is used to take care of it. Which one of them doesn't have capital invested?”
"It's our first time meeting and we're not familiar with each other. We can't just give it away for free, right?”
"Gentlemen…"
"In this world, there's no such thing as a free dinner!”
