Chang 'an City, Buzheng Square.
The Qin family's residence in Chang 'an was located in the Buzheng Square.
Qin Chuan estimated that the courtyard occupied an area of about 10,000 square meters.
In the future, this should be considered a luxurious mansion.
But in the Great Tang, such a large residence was not considered large.
As far as Qin Chuan knew, Zhangsun Wuji's residence occupied a quarter of the entire Chongren Square.
The inner alleys on both sides of the imperial city were 900 meters wide from east to west and 800 meters long from north to south. They covered an area of 720,000 square meters, a quarter of which was 180,000 square meters.
The residences of the Great Tang's other high officials were not few in number, spanning tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of square meters.
Qin Chuan welcomed a long-lost guest into this residence that he had just moved back to.
Li Shimin.
Because of Qin Chuan's Buddhist Extermination Strategy, the Great Tang Emperor had been busy for several days.
The dispatch of the Ministry of War and the Imperial Army, the imperial prison of the Ministry of Justice and the Supreme Court, the household registration of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the land registration, the storage of the treasures and food of the Si Nong Temple and the Tai Fu Temple, the imperial edict issued to the states, and the successive trials of the reports on the destruction of Buddha submitted by the states
These heavy tasks did not tire him out. He did not have a good rest for several nights.
However, looking at the treasury that was gradually becoming more and more solid, even if he had to work for another ten days or half a month, Li Shiming was willing.
When Happy counted the money, he cursed with a smile.'These bald bastards are really f * cking rich!'
Today, Li Shiming had some free time to visit Qin Chuan's house to see his little friend who had helped him a lot.
"Old Li, why did you come to my house? I haven't seen you in a long time.”
Sitting on the main seat in the main hall, Qin Chuan looked at Li Shiming and asked with a smile.
"Didn't you tell me that you would be moving to the city in a few days on the day the results were released?”
Li Shi Min immediately revealed a smile.
"Didn't the city impose martial law a few days ago to catch the monk? How could I dare to go out? The martial law has been relaxed these two days, so I came out to exercise.”
"This brother, I, just went out and came to your residence. It's almost lunchtime. Let's go, I'll treat today.”
"Why are you going out?"
Qin Chuan waved his hand and laughed,"Old Li, you came at the right time! Let me treat you to a drink today!”
"Brother, let me treat you to a new way of eating that has never been seen in Chang 'an.”
"A new way to eat?"
Li Shimin smiled." Brother Qin, I'm used to eating delicacies. I've even tasted the imperial food in the palace. There's nothing in Chang 'an that I haven't tasted before!"”
As the emperor, he had tasted all kinds of good food and drinks. He didn't believe that Qin Chuan could play any tricks!
Qin Chuan laughed and said," Old Li, you're bragging. Even the current emperor has never eaten this before, let alone you!”
"Today, I'll bring you to have some meat! Someone, serve the hotpot!"
Not long after, a few servants swiftly placed a hotpot table that Qin Chuan had specially made with a hollowed out middle in the hall.
A charcoal stove was placed under the table, and a pot of red soup was served.
Then, large plates and small bowls were placed on the table.
There were scallions, garlic, sesame seeds, Zhu Yu noodles, and soy sauce in the kitchen. Li Shimin was stunned.
He had never seen anyone eat with so many condiments on the table.
"Old Li, why are you standing there? Come and sit.”
Qin Chuan sat down and patted the stool beside him.
Li Shi Min was dumbfounded." Brother Qin, what is this?”
"You haven't eaten hotpot before, right? These are all condiments.”
Qin Chuan took a clean and empty bowl and mixed it with sauce.
Li Shimin followed Granny Liu into the Grand View Garden and imitated Qin Chuan to take an empty bowl and mix sauce for himself.
"Old Li, you don't have any taboos, right?”
Qin Chuan looked at the various meat slices and vegetables on the table and asked.
"I don't have any taboos, but Brother Qin, why is your family eating beef? Killing cattle without permission is illegal!”
Li Shiming looked at the beef slices on the table and swallowed his saliva.
Although the emperor could eat cattle, sheep, and pigs, cattle were important tools for farming and could not be killed. He had not eaten beef for many days.
Qin Chuan shook his head." I'm a good citizen. Who would do something illegal?!"”
"This cow froze to death from the snow a few days ago. The government has also signed a document and made a record. Brother Li, you can eat it without worry.”
After a while, the soup base boiled. As the steam rose, the fragrance of the hotpot base assaulted his nose.
Li Shi Min subconsciously swallowed his saliva.
Seeing Li Shiming like this, Qin Chuan smiled and put some beef slices into the pot.
After waiting for a while, Qin Chuan saw that the beef in the pot had changed color and was cooked. He picked up his chopsticks first and scooped a piece of beef into his bowl.
After being dipped in the sauce that had been mixed beforehand, the texture of the beef, mixed with the juice of various spices and sauces, burst out in his mouth.
Qin Chuan was filled with enjoyment after taking a bite.
Faced with the temptation of the hotpot, Li Shimin also put down his arrogance. He picked up his chopsticks and scooped a piece of beef into the pot. Then, he copied Qin Chuan and dipped it into the sauce and put it into his mouth.
Swallowing it in one gulp, a rich fragrance, spiciness, and numbness immediately bloomed in his mouth.
"How does it taste?" Qin Chuan smiled and glanced over.
"Delicious! It was satisfying! I've never eaten something so fragrant, numb, and spicy!”
Li Shimin was full of praise." It's just too spicy!"”
Looking at Li Shiming's red lips, Qin Chuan snickered," It's okay, it won't be spicy anymore. Come, let's go!"”
"Brother Qin, your life is still so comfortable!”
Li Shimin took another sip of warm white wine and stretched his body comfortably. His body was warm and he didn't feel the cold winter at all.
"Haha, right? It's winter, so it's suitable to eat hotpot!”
Qin Chuan laughed happily as he picked up another piece of beef and ate it to his heart's content.
"Old Li, you eat too. We brothers don't have to be so polite.”
"Alright."
Seeing Qin Chuan's carefree appearance, Li Shi Min laughed in a relaxed manner and began to eat happily.
