The next morning, Li Qin suddenly woke up from his sleep.
This dream was extremely long and thrilling.
He couldn't remember the exact details of the dream.
He vaguely remembered that a young man with a long sword stabbed at him, but he could not move no matter what.
He could only watch as the cold light approached.
Without any sleepiness, Li Qin simply got up and buried his head in preparing the materials needed to brew the wine.
The sky was slightly bright, but the rooster had yet to crow.
Li Qin and his two assistants came over.
"Young Master Li, why are you up so early?”
Li Qin put his work aside and said with a smile,"I had a nightmare yesterday and couldn't sleep.”
"In addition, we still owe so many jars of wine, so we want to hurry up.”
As he spoke, Li Qin pointed to the jar that had been prepared long ago and said,"I've already prepared the song for the wine.”
"Let's hurry up and hand over the wine.”
"Then I won't have to worry about preparing the restaurant.”
"Young Master Li is going to open a restaurant?" Chen Yi asked in surprise.”
"Have you chosen the address?"
Li Qin nodded and said," I've already rented a store. After the wine is brewed, the two of you can go to my restaurant to work."”
"I'll take care of your food and accommodation. I'll give you five hundred copper coins a month.”
"Although it's a bit less than this group of workers, if the restaurant gets bigger, the wages can still be increased.”
At that time, the salary of a worker in the Great Tang was only three hundred wen a month.
Li Qin knew very well that if he wanted the wolf to run, he had to first let the wolf eat its fill, which was why he offered such a high salary.
The two waiters happily agreed.
He was a straightforward man. With higher wages, he would be more motivated.
It was inevitable to chat when doing work.
Li Qin did not put on airs. As he spoke, the atmosphere became warmer.
For some reason, it was related to getting married and having children.
"Young Master Li, I don't see you getting married." Wang Liu chuckled.”
"You're still young. Can you hold it in?”
"Do you think Young Master Li is like you?" Liu Yi laughed and scolded.”
"You're always thinking about that thing between men and women.”
"Besides, with Young Master Li's conditions, why would he worry about not being able to find a wife?”
Wang Liu was stunned for a moment before she smiled and said,"That's true."”
"Young Master Li, I say, you've reached the age of marriage, why haven't you married yet?”
"If you ask me, the girl you saw yesterday was quite suitable.”
"This is the first time I've seen such a good-looking person who treats Young Master Li so well.”
"You don't know, but that girl was so anxious yesterday that her eyes were red. She missed you so much.”
Li Qin scratched his head awkwardly and did not take their words seriously.
He and Fang Yaoyi had only known each other for a short time, if he wanted to make her cry, then these two must have added fuel to the fire.
Coughing lightly, Li Qin poured the liquid into the jar and said,"That…there's no hurry.”
"I have to focus on my career now."
Seeing Li Qin's awkward expression, the two waiters stopped teasing him.
He turned to talk about the strange things that were circulating in Chang 'an.
It was said that a chivalrous man who specialized in killing corrupt officials had recently arrived in Chang 'an.
The knight was eight feet tall, had a beard, and held two mountain axes.
He raised his axe and swung it down, killing the corrupt officials.
If not a thousand, there were at least eight hundred.
Li Qin smiled. The market liked to spread these rare things as if they were gods.
It was possible that a small matter like a sesame seed would be changed beyond recognition after being embellished.
However, he did not intend to retort. After all, in the Tang Empire, where entertainment was scarce, these were the things that people loved to talk about.
After arranging the rest of the work, Li Qin went out to buy the materials needed for movable type printing. He also took a look at the structure of the restaurant and planned how to decorate it.
On the way to Xi City.
Li Qin felt his heart palpitate for no reason.
He could vaguely feel a pair of cold and murderous eyes coming from the crowd.
Li Qin came to Xi City uneasily and purchased the materials he needed.
When he returned home, he saw that Old Li and his wife had been waiting for a long time.
Du Ruhui had reported Li Qin's words to Li Shimin word for word.
How important was movable type printing to the Great Tang?
Li Shi Min was extremely excited and rushed over immediately.
Empress Zhangsun naturally came over because she was worried about Li Qin.
Without waiting for Li Shimin to speak, Empress Zhangsun said worriedly,""Child, did the county magistrate torture you yesterday?”
"Let YiNiang take a look. Are you hurt anywhere?”
Actually, Li Shimin had told her last night, but he asked a few more questions out of worry.
Seeing Aunt Sun's worried look, Li Qin quickly replied,""Yesterday, Lord Du arrived in time and was not injured.”
"I've made Concubine Sun worry."
"It's good that you're fine." Li Shimin smiled.”
"By the way, I heard that you recently invented a rubbing method called movable type printing?”
Li Qin nodded without thinking, but then he was a little puzzled.
How did Old Li know?
Lord Du was drunk last night and should have gone to court early this morning. How could he have the chance to tell Old Li?
Besides, no matter how good their relationship was, they shouldn't tell a businessman like Old Li about such a big matter.
"Old Li, how did you know?”Li Qin asked suspiciously.
Li Shi Min instantly reacted, gulping and quickly said,"Hey, it's all because Old Du was drunk yesterday.
We just happened to meet."
"He bragged to me about some method that has been passed down through the ages.”
"You said it after I provoked you.”
Li Qin's face twitched slightly. This Lord Du was too unreliable.
Seeing that Li Qin still had some doubts, Li Shimin quickly said,"Where is your movable type printing technique? Quickly take it out and let me and your Aunt Sun broaden our horizons.”
Li Qin didn't think too much about it and smiled.”
"I just came up with an idea for movable type printing.”
"I just bought the materials today and haven't had the time to make it.”
Hearing this, Li Shi Min couldn't help but reveal a trace of disappointment.
Seeing Old Li like this, Li Qin turned around and found a small porcelain bottle from a large pile of packages.
"Old Li, Aunt Sun, let me show you something new.”
Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun asked curiously,""Oh? What is this?"
He dipped the tip of his pen into the porcelain bottle.
Empress Zhangsun frowned slightly. Ink?
No, if it was ink, why would Ba 'er say it was a rare thing?
Li Qin took a deep breath. He held a pen in one hand and placed the other behind his back.
"A bamboo cane and straw sandals are lighter than a horse, who's afraid? A raincoat and a misty rain, let me live my life."
He finished writing.
Li Shi Min's eyes narrowed.
These two lines were so heroic!
No matter how the wind blows and rain blows, I will laugh proudly at my life.
Such breadth of mind and literary talent, even Fang and Du could not reach it.
However, wasn't this word a little ugly?
No, it was not a little, it was completely unsightly.
It was completely unworthy of this long and short sentence!
Snow was falling outside the window.
Li Shi Min's heart was burning as he stared at Li Qin and asked,"Is there a follow-up to these two lines?”
Li Qin didn't hide anything and waved his hand.
Su Shi's "Set the Storm: Don't Listen to the Sound of the Forest and the Leaves" jumped on the paper.
Li Shi Min and Empress Zhangsun were shocked.
Both of them had literary attainments, so they could see the deep meaning of this long and short sentence.
What shocked the two of them the most was that these words were really too ugly!
Li Qin ignored their complicated gazes and smiled."Old Li, this thing is called cuttlefish juice.”
"This cuttlefish juice looks no different from ordinary ink, but after writing it on paper, it will disappear in about half a day.”
Li Shi Min chuckled. This kid was really weird.
However, Empress Zhangsun's eyes were filled with pride.
Look, this is the eldest son of the Great Tang, my son!
It's my pride!
However, it was this excellence that made Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun's hearts ache even more.
If this child was born in the palace, he would definitely be even more outstanding.
Li Shi Min looked at the words and fell into deep thought.
After returning to the palace, he had to send someone over to teach Li Qin how to practice calligraphy. Otherwise, if such calligraphy was taken out, wouldn't it be a joke?
Old Li and his wife chatted with Li Qin for a while more before bidding farewell and leaving.
Before he left, Li Shiming took a jar of Thousand Gold Drunk and the porcelain bottle.
Li Qin sent the two out. Just as he was about to leave, he saw a youth standing on the opposite side of the road.
His face was covered and his face couldn't be seen clearly. However, his eyes seemed to be in a dream.
He was indifferent to the point of being emotionless.
The cold light from his dream appeared before his eyes again.
A strong sense of danger quietly enveloped Li Qin's heart.
In his previous life, Li Qin did not believe in dreams.
However, he did not think that the divination techniques passed down from thousands of years of Chinese history were useless.
"Who exactly are you?"
There was an endless stream of pedestrians on the street.
The youth had long disappeared.
