Lin Chen chuckled as he took the silver from Li Er's hands." It's easy to discuss with money.”
The impact of the storm would definitely worsen. Now that the price of grain had skyrocketed, a bucket of rice had increased by many times. With some money on hand, Lin Chen felt at ease. It was better to be prepared.
Li Er laughed dryly and thought to himself, This family is all money-grubber.”
The torrential rain continued for six to eight hours.
It was impossible to go out in this weather. The group of people chatted in the living room.
Gradually, Lin Chen and Li Er and the others became familiar with each other.
Li Er claimed to be a businessman and his name was Old Huang. Fang Xuanling was his butler, Old Fang. Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong were his guards, called Fatty and Old Hei.
Lin Chen didn't doubt it too much. They were just strangers anyway, so why take it seriously?
However, during their conversation, Lin Chen realized that Li Er and Fang Xuanling had an extraordinary way of talking. Even if they weren't businessmen, they were at least landowners.
As they chatted, it was time for dinner. Lin Chen didn't prepare much. He still had the hotpot for lunch. He would heat it up and prepare some mutton and vegetables. Then, he would just simmer them.
Li Er felt that the hotpot was very fresh and asked in puzzlement,"What is this? Is it a local snack?"
Without waiting for Lin Chen's reply, Lin Zihao spoke first," This is called hotpot. It's really delicious. Old bumpkin, you don't know anything."”
Li Er was very embarrassed. He was an emperor, but he was mocked by a five-year-old child. It was really embarrassing.
However, he had no choice but to embarrass himself. He had really never seen hotpot before.
Lin Chen smiled faintly. He did not laugh at Li Er. After all, hotpot had not been invented in the Great Tang.
"Old Huang, don't worry about what it is. Come and try it. It tastes pretty good.”Lin Chen smiled and invited everyone to sit down. The group of people gathered together and prepared to eat hotpot.
Li Er and the others did not move their chopsticks. They looked straight at Lin Chen's family of four. It was not that they were not hungry, but they did not know how to eat.
If he ate the wrong food, he would be laughed at by the three divine children again.
Lin Chen also understood what Li Er meant. He didn't say much and picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks. He dipped it in sesame sauce and started eating in big mouthfuls.
"Heh, it's delicious."
The three divine children also picked up their chopsticks and began to eat in big mouthfuls. It was called fragrant.
Li Er understood what was going on. He imitated Lin Chen and picked up the meat, dipped it in sesame sauce, and took a bite.
The mutton entered his mouth and he chewed twice. Li Er's eyes instantly widened.
"Delicious! It's so delicious!"
"I've never eaten mutton with such a taste before. It's delicious!”
Li Er felt that the mutton seemed to come alive in his mouth. It was fresh, tender, and extremely refreshing.
He felt that all his years of imperial food had been for nothing.
All the imperial dishes added together were not as delicious as this mouthful of mutton.
Was it really that delicious?
Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, and Fang Xuanling were all puzzled.
The three of them also picked up the mutton and tasted it.
Without exception, the three of them were also conquered by the hotpot.
Following that, the eight of them began a " battle ", constantly snatching the meat in the pot.
A plate of meat was gone in a few chopsticks. He was so slow that he couldn't eat it at all.
The weakest one here was Lin Zihao.
Often, before Lin Zihao could even lift his chopsticks, the meat in the pot would be gone.
After a few consecutive times, Lin Zihao could not take it anymore. He glared at Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong beside him and berated,"Hey, can you guys slow down!"
"You picked up so much with your chopsticks. Did you consider my feelings?”
"Can't you leave some for me?"
Cheng Yaojin chuckled." I'm sorry. This hotpot is too delicious. I can't help it."”
"Divine child, you eat hotpot every day.”
"It's our first time. Let's eat more.”
"No way!" Lin Zihao said angrily," You're quite a big man, how can you be so shameless? You're snatching food from a child."”
"Give it to me!" Lin Zihao picked up his chopsticks and directly added meat to Cheng Yaojin's plate.
Cheng Yaojin protected him." You child, why did you put your chopsticks into someone else's plate?"”
"Do you have any manners?"
"I don't care. I'm hungry!" Lin Zihao glared and started fighting with Cheng Yaojin.
The two of them made a scene, causing everyone to laugh.
Lin Chen poured a cup of wine and took a big gulp before speaking in a clear voice.
"The wise are happy with the picturesque mountains, and the benevolent are happy with the boundless water.”
"From a leisurely cup of wine to an ordinary cup of tea.”
Li Er and Fang Xuanling's eyes lit up when they heard that.
Good poem, good poem!
This mentality, this realm was simply too amazing.
An expert, an absolute expert. If he wasn't an expert, how could he have such a mentality and realm?
Li Er sighed and cupped his fists." Mr. Lin's words are like a piece of paper. Your heart is as calm as water and as calm as a mountain. I'm impressed. I'm impressed."”
Lin Chen smiled faintly." What's there to admire? I was just casually saying.”
"Old Huang, you have to learn to adjust your mentality. Look at you, the word worry is written on your face.”
Li Er blushed." Yes, yes. I'm untalented and unlearned. I'm not at Mr. Lin's level."”
"What's there to worry about? You don't have to worry about food or drink. Isn't it good to live happily?”
"As the saying goes, there is nothing in the world.”Lin Chen said softly.
Li Er was shocked again. Then, he shook his head with a bitter smile." I'm afraid it's that mediocre person."”
As he spoke, Li Er stood up and walked to the window. Looking at the pouring rain, he said sadly,"The torrential rain has been pouring for days and has already caused a famine.”
"If this continues, the world will definitely be in chaos.”
Lin Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Er."You really are mediocre."
"Even the emperor is worried about a famine. What is a merchant like you worried about?”
Fang Xuanling smiled." Mister Lin, you might not know this, but my master's business is very big. It's spread across almost the entire Great Tang and has dealings with the Imperial Court.”
"Now that there's a famine, it has a huge impact on my master's business.”
"Oh, I see." Lin Chen nodded and didn't say anything else.
Fang Xuanling was very embarrassed. He had wanted to guide Lin Chen to tell him his thoughts on the famine. Perhaps there would be a solution.
However, Lin Chen didn't say anything, which made him a little flustered.
Li Er also frowned. This person's mouth was really tight.
No, I still have to think of a way.
After pondering for a moment, Li Er said leisurely,""I really don't know how long this storm will last. His Majesty has already issued an edict of self-sin, begging for forgiveness from the heavens.”
"But it's still useless. Sigh, I really don't know what other methods His Majesty has to deal with it.”
"Self-Condemning Decree? Haha." Lin Chen snorted as he drank his wine.
Li Eryi was stunned and turned to look at Lin Chen. What did he mean? You seem to be very disdainful of my edict?
"Mister Lin, what do you mean? What do you do about the emperor's edict of sin?”
"Me?" Lin Chen chuckled." I'll sit and watch. I'll watch while drinking wine and eating hotpot.”
"Why not? It's just a joke, right?"
Fang Xuanling almost fell off his chair when he heard that.
He glared at Lin Chen, his eyes filled with fear.
Master, you really dare to say it!
