Li Shi Min watched Ye Liang Chen leave, then turned to Zhangsun Wuji and said,""How about promoting pork to put an end to the custom of eating cattle?”
There were only two people left in the hall. Zhangsun Wuji immediately became respectful and said in a low voice,"Your Majesty, it's possible. Next time, we'll bring gifts to exchange for this youth's method of removing the stench of pork. However, pork is cheap meat. If you want the world to eat it, this concept won't change in a short period of time.”
"This is not a problem. At the next New Year's Eve banquet, Zhen, the Empress, the Princes, and Princess will take the lead in eating pork to set an example. The world will follow suit.”"I really didn't expect this kid to be so good at governing the country." Li Shimin sighed.”
Zhangsun Wuji was silent.
In fact, he was more curious about Ye Liangchen's appearance than this matter. If not, why did father and son look so alike?
If nothing unexpected happened, this little shop owner would be able to solve the problem that Minister Fang Du couldn't solve.
Gentle and refined, talented in painting and calligraphy, refined, gentle, and observant, who wouldn't like a child? In any case, Chengqian, Qingque, and Li Ke couldn't compare to Ye Liangchen.
Seeing Li Shiming's envious expression, Zhangsun Wuji also understood that Li Shiming really didn't know. The two of them looked similar, so it might really be a coincidence.
"Old Li, Old Chang, the ice cream is here.”
Yap Liangchen walked over with an exquisite wooden box in his hand.
The wooden box was placed on the table, emitting a cold aura.
Li Shi Min and Zhangsun Wu Ji's eyes almost popped out.
It was August and the summer was scorching.
At this moment, ice was a precious item.
Taking out ice cubes from the ice room of the palace required the Empress's approval, which showed how precious it was.
It was not strange for the Tang Imperial Palace to have ice. Every winter, people would send people to hide the ice in a special ice room and take it out in the following summer to reward the ministers and generals as a sign of the emperor's grace.
But you, a small shop, actually have ice. It's really strange.
Yap Liangchen naturally made ice with saltpeter. The ice in the ice cellar could be made into ice drinks to relieve the heat and could also be used as a refrigerator.
"Come, come, come!"
He carefully took out three bowls of snow-white ice cream from the wooden box and handed them to the two of them.
The two of them saw that the ice cream was decorated with bright preserved fruits, like a landscape painting. They clicked their tongues in wonder.
When he placed it in his mouth, it was sour and sweet. It instantly melted, and the milky fragrance filled the air.
"Good! This thing is truly incomparably sweet."
Li Shi Min held the bowl of ice cream and immediately tasted it.
He felt that the royal chefs of the palace could get lost. The food they cooked was not even as good as this young man.
Zhangsun Wuji gulped down the whole bowl of ice cream in a few seconds. At this moment, his stomach was cold.
Yap Liangchen was also sitting there, enjoying the afternoon dessert while saying,""This ice cream is made from mountain spring water, ice, milk, sugar, and cream."
Awesome.
The two of them felt that Yap Liangchen was knowledgeable and mysterious. He had a lot of good things and they would be able to enjoy themselves if they stayed by his side.
Li Shiming was already thinking about which princess to arrange for Yap Liangchen.
Is it Changle, Chengyang, or Si Zi?
"Brother Ye, this ice is very rare. Where did you get it?”Zhangsun Wuji put down the bowl and asked in puzzlement. His family also had ice cubes in their cellar. Due to the limited technology, they had basically turned into water at this moment.
"What's so difficult about making ice cubes?" Yap Liangchen got along well with the two of them and wanted to explain more.
These two guys were very rich and hated aristocratic families for eating cattle. They were righteous and would definitely not covet his ice-making technique.
Yap Liangchen took a basin of water and hid some crushed saltpeter in his sleeve. He said,""Water and ice come from the same source.”
Li Shiming and Zhangsun Wuji looked at each other, staring at the basin of water.
Yap put his fingers into the water and made circles in the basin.
At this moment, the saltpeter in his sleeve silently fell into the water.
A moment later.
The temperature in the basin plummeted, and cold air came out.
After saying that, he reached out to touch the ice. It was indeed bone-chilling, a genuine ice cube.
It was unheard of to create something out of nothing!
Could it be that he had the ability to turn stone into gold and scatter beans into soldiers?
Zhangsun Wuji picked up the piece of ice in the water, and his expression changed drastically. He looked at the young man in white and said respectfully,""Brother Ye, you're an immortal disciple, right?”
"This freezing of water into ice is simply an immortal technique!”
Yap Liangchen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't bother explaining the principle of saltpeter as it would be worthless if he told others about it. He explained,""Elder Chang, Elder Li, this is just a small trick. If I were a disciple of an immortal family, how could I submit to this shabby room?”
"Then where did you learn your painting and culinary skills from?" Li Shimin asked again.”
"Most of them are self-taught," Yap said.”
After saying that.
Li Shi Min and Zhangsun Wu Ji both had expressions that said,"I'd be a fool if I believed you."
Who would believe it!
This Yap Liangchen was extremely mysterious, and he had an extraordinary way of talking. He must have had a fortuitous encounter.
However, they respected Yap Liangchen even more.
After being warmly received, the two of them were embarrassed to eat for free.
Yap Liangchen didn't refuse. He nodded and accepted the gift.
The Tang Dynasty mainly used copper coins, but it was more convenient to use silver belts.
One tael of silver could be exchanged for one thousand dollars. It was a huge sum of money. These two people were really generous.
His performance today could be considered to have subdued these two wealthy middle-aged men, especially his last move of freezing water into ice.
At this moment, his heart was pounding.
Old Li had inadvertently mentioned that he had an unmarried daughter. Even a fool could hear such an obvious hint.
He must have taken a fancy to my handsome appearance and interesting soul, and wants to take me in as his son-in-law!
This Old Li was cold and arrogant. He had an extraordinary way of speaking and came from a wealthy family. It was not impossible for him to call him father-in-law.
He had many inventions, but what he lacked the most now was a strong background.
Without money and background, it was difficult to move in the Great Tang. His dream was to transform the country.
If he married the daughter of the Li family, Old Li would definitely hire the best doctor in the world to treat his asthma.
This white-robed youth was taught by a hermit expert, so he will definitely not be an ordinary person in the future. Otherwise, I would have bound him to the royal family's carriage earlier. After all, I have many princesses.
The only problem was that this kid was too similar to him when he was young!!!
He had indeed caused many disasters when he was young, but he did not remember when he had harmed a woman surnamed Ye. It should not be so coincidental.
Li Shi Min frantically tried to recall, but he couldn't recall a woman surnamed Ye. Finally, he made up his mind to say one word.
F * ck!
Yap Liangchen saw Old Li standing in front of the words he had just written this morning, so he said generously,""Old Li, if you like it, you can take this calligraphy.”
Li Shiming didn't hesitate and immediately asked Zhangsun Wuji to take the words off the wall and roll them into a scroll.
They took the box from Uncle Black and bid farewell to Yap Liangchen.
"Are you sick?"
Li Shimin frowned. He had wind disease and was afraid of heat and humidity. The Guanyin maid had qi disease, which caused the princesses to be sick. Green Sparrow was obese because of illness, and Slave Zhi was often sick.
Fortunately, Crown Prince Chengqian was in good health. This was truly a blessing for the Great Tang!
