"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Tang has such brave soldiers, why worry about the four borders are unstable?”All the ministers congratulated him.
Li Shi Min laughed and said," This is indeed a blessing for the Great Tang.”
The banquet had basically come to an end. Hence, everyone chatted and chatted. After they got to know each other better, they could only go back to their own homes and find their own mothers. Cheng Chumo also left.
The next day, the imperial edict arrived. After Cheng Chumo finished the six ceremonies, he could marry Princess Changle.
As for what Cheng Chumo was doing? He was currently making equipment for distilled liquor. That's right, it was the first choice for those who had transmigrated to ancient times to make a fortune. In addition, everyone in the Lu Public House liked to drink. Not to mention his father, Cheng Yaojin, even his younger brothers were all Liquor worms.
Duke Lu Manor had its own wine workshop and restaurant. Cheng Chumo only needed to build the equipment to distill the liquor. Of course, packaging was very important. He divided the wine into three grades. The one with the highest alcohol content, which was close to 60 degrees, was called Hero's Tear, and its price was also the highest. The second grade was about 40 degrees Celsius, which was called agarate, and the price was slightly lower. Finally, the water that was around 30 degrees was called spring water, and it was the cheapest.
Cheng Chumo had been evaporating at home for several days and finally accumulated more than ten thousand catties of fine wine. Of course, these few days, the entire High Duke Lu Manor was filled with the fragrance of wine. The few Liquor worms were drunk every day. Especially his younger brothers. It was their first time drinking alcohol, and they drank so much that Cheng Chumo almost thought they were poisoned. After that, he didn't dare to let them drink too much.
On this day, Cheng Chumo ordered the servants to bring the wine to his own restaurant to sell. After opening the jar, the entire East City was filled with the fragrance of wine. The restaurant was full of customers the entire day, and business was booming. In just one day, he had sold out all the wine he had made in a week. After all, East City was filled with rich people who didn't care about the price of wine.
So Cheng Chumo asked the craftsmen at home to make two more sets of tools for evaporating. The three machines were running at full speed, barely keeping up with the restaurant's sales. Every day, there would be a large number of horse carriages pulling carts of copper coins, constantly delivering them to the Duke Lu Residence. Cheng Chumo's mother, Cui Shi Tian Tian, smiled and narrowed her eyes. She praised him for giving birth to a good son who knew how to take care of the family. She even used him as a role model to teach his younger brothers a lesson. Therefore, Cheng Chuliang and Cheng Chusi had been having a hard time these past few days and had come to complain to him. Cheng Chumo couldn't do anything about it. Who asked him to be so outstanding?
Cheng Chuliang expressed that he hadn't realized that his big brother was so shameless before. In the end, he still extorted a sum of money from his big brother and let it go. As long as they had money to spend, who would care about being scolded by their mother?
Not to mention the two brothers, they had gone around with the silver. Even Li Shiming in the palace was very jealous when he heard about the news of the Cheng family restaurant. Although they had won this battle and wiped out the Turks, they had obtained many spoils of war. However, in the early years of Zhenguan, the palace was indeed poor. Empress Zhangsun's phoenix robe was mended again and again. Since this son-in-law was so good at earning money, it should not be a problem to take some from him.
So Li Shimin sent someone to summon Cheng Chumo to the palace. He chuckled and said," My dear son-in-law, look. Most of the palaces have been in disrepair for a long time. My empress and your mother-in-law are still wearing mended clothes. Why don't you show some respect?"
"Emperor, that restaurant of mine is just a small business to support my family. How about this, I'll give you 20%. I don't need you to give me anything. I just need you to write me the words 'The World's Best Wine.'”Cheng Chumo said.
"What a good idea you have, kid. You want to use this one as a live advertisement. However, this one wants 30%.”Li Shi Min demanded an exorbitant price.
"Alright, Your Majesty. Whatever you say.”Cheng Chumo pretended to be helpless. In fact, Cheng Chumo could give the emperor 40% but he would give as little as he could. With Li Shiming's personal plaque, he could expand his business to the entire Great Tang without anyone making things difficult for him. Actually, he was still at an advantage. Cheng Chumo planned to increase production and enter the national market.
"Alright, go to the back of the Political Hall to see Empress Zhangsun and Princess Changle. After all, you're already engaged.”Li Shi Min said and had someone lead him to the Hall of Political Affairs.
When he arrived at the Hall of Political Affairs, Cheng Chumo finally saw Empress Zhangsun for the first time. As expected of Empress Zhangsun, the mother of the world. Even though the clothes she wore were a little tattered, she was still so graceful and luxurious. There were two girls beside Empress Zhangsun. The older one was his fiancée, Princess Changle. As for the younger one, if he guessed correctly, it should be Princess Jin Yang, Li Mingda. This was also a person with a bitter life. It was said that he only lived for ten years. Li Shiming's genes were really bad, and few of the daughters in the family lived long lives.
"This humble subject Cheng Chumo greets the Empress and the two princesses.”Cheng Chumo bowed.
"So you are Cheng Chumo. You are indeed a talented and mighty man. Lizhi marrying you is not an insult to her.”Empress Zhangsun said.
"Mother, what are you saying?" Princess Chang Le pouted. She rolled her eyes at Cheng Chumo.
At this moment, Li Mingda, a three-year-old loli, walked over and said to Cheng Chumo. "Are you Sister Changle's brother-in-law?”
How could Cheng Chumo answer? He was also very desperate and could only say. "Not yet, but soon.”
Princess Changle was saying to Empress Zhangsun,"Mother, your son thought of something that I haven't done yet. Your son will take his leave first."”After saying that, she blushed and left in a hurry.
Empress Zhangsun looked at Cheng Chumo, who was still like a pillar, and said. "Hurry up and chase after him. He's like a block of wood.”
Chen Chumo scratched his head and laughed.”After saying that, he chased after her.
"Princess Chang Le, wait for me." Cheng Chumo shouted as he chased.
Although Princess Chang Le didn't turn around, she slowed down. Cheng Chumo also caught up with Princess Chang Le. "Cheng Chumo, why are you looking for me?”Princess Chang Le asked.
"Nothing much. I just wanted to chat with my wife.”Cheng Chumo said with a smile.
"Who's your wife? Shameless, I haven't married you yet.”Princess Changle said softly.
"Hehe, soon, soon."
Cheng Chumo was mesmerized by Princess Changle's eye-roll. He just stood there and looked at her blankly without saying a word.
"Idiot, what are you looking at?" Princess Chang Le waved her hand.
"I'm looking at my wife. My wife is so beautiful.”Cheng Chumo said blankly.
"You fool, I'm ignoring you.”With that, Princess Chang Le turned around and ran away.
Chen Chumo also knew that he couldn't chase after her anymore. He knew that going too far was as bad as falling short. Anyway, there was still a long way to go. In the future, he could come back to the palace to see Princess Chang Le.
Princess Chang Le returned to her bedroom, her face still red. "How can this fool talk like that? Aiya, so embarrassing, so embarrassing. He didn't notice it before, but now that he looked at it, Cheng Chumo was also very heroic. He was so embarrassed that he couldn't let his imagination run wild.”
