The Empress let Li Lizhi pull her along. After taking two steps, she saw a set of words on the wall behind the counter.
"Looking horizontally at the side of the mountain, there are different heights and distances.”
The words were extremely beautiful.
It was indeed the same handwriting as the words Li Shimin left in her palace.
From Li Shiming, she knew that the owner of the restaurant was just a teenager.
However, the two sentences in front of him clearly showed a calm state of mind that could only be achieved after experiencing the vicissitudes of life.
He had never heard of this before.
Could it be that a mere youth in the restaurant could make such words?
At this moment, Empress Zhangsun couldn't help but look forward to the appearance of the extraordinary person Li Shimin spoke of. "So it's you, Li Gong. Who are these two?”
When Yan Lin heard Xian Shu say that Li Shi Min was coming, he walked out.
Li Gong was a good person and generous.
Yan Lin felt the need to express his goodwill.
However, the two people beside Li Gong surprised Yan Lin.
The Empress was curious about Yan Lin when she heard a calm and warm voice coming from the left.
Raising his head, he saw a young man in plain clothes walking over from the backyard with a smile.
However, when she saw the face of the young man in plain clothes in front of her, the Empress felt her breathing suddenly stop.
"Cough-"
The Empress suddenly coughed violently, and a sickly blush appeared on her fair face.
"Mother!" Li Lizhi was shocked.
"What happened to Madam?" Li Shimin's face tensed up. He took two steps forward and helped Empress Zhangsun to sit down on a bench.
"I'm fine. Maybe I walked a lot just now and was a little out of breath. I'll be fine after a short rest!”Empress Zhangsun coughed twice and her breathing slowly stabilized.
"Young Master Yan is indeed as my husband said.”The Empress said to Yan Lin with a smile.
His eyes were fixed on Yan Lin's face.
Too similar. Why did he look so similar to His Majesty when he was young?
The Empress was secretly shocked.
On the way here, Li Shi Min had also mentioned to her that the shopkeeper of this small restaurant had the demeanor of his youth.
The Empress just smiled and said that Li Shimin liked this Yan Lin very much.
Until he saw Yan Lin in front of him.
Only then did the Empress realize that she was wrong, and ridiculously wrong.
Other than being warm and indifferent, how could Yan Lin be any different from Li Shiming when he was young?
"So it's Madam Li. I'm Yan Lin. Greetings.”The Empress 'sudden cough did not raise any doubts in Yan Lin.
The medical conditions in the Great Tang were not good, and the commoners would more or less suffer from some illnesses.
Even the wife of the Tang Emperor was sick.
On the other hand, Li Gong's wife was staring at him without blinking. What did she mean? Even if he was more beautiful than Pan An, he wouldn't have to stare at him like this.
"So young master is the extraordinary person that father has been talking about. Your age is also the same as mine!”Li Lizhi looked at Yan Lin with a smile.
Yan Lin's gentleness made Li Lizhi want to get close to him, so she took the initiative to talk to him.
The Empress had yet to come back to her senses. Otherwise, she would have lectured him again.
"Little Brother Yan…"
"Li Gong, just call me by my name!”Yan Lin said.
"Alright, Yan Lin, this girl is my daughter. She's very mischievous. When she learned that I was coming, she begged me to come with her. Yan Lin, don't be annoyed!”Li Shi Min said with a smile.
"It's fine, it's fine." Yan Lin smiled and extended his hand, inviting them to sit on the bench at the side.
Li Shimin helped the Empress sit down. Li Lizhi sat on Yan Lin's left side and stared at him with her big eyes.
Yan Lin touched his face and thought to himself that he had washed his face every morning.
Why were these people staring at his face?
A few days ago, it was Zhan Hai. Today, Li Gong's wife and daughter were staring at him like this.
Could it be that he had become more handsome after not looking in the mirror for the past few days?
"Yan Lin, we came here this time to ask you to teach us how to remove the strange smell of pork. Also, my wife wants to learn how to cook sweet and sour ribs.”
"I hope Yan Lin can generously teach me. I have a big gift to thank you!”Li Shi Min slowly explained the reason for his visit.
If there really was a way to solve the strange smell of pork, it would be a great achievement for the Tang Empire.
The people outside Chang 'an City buried countless little pigs every year.
Thinking about it, Li Shiming felt that it was a pity.
They were only one step away from turning trash into treasure.
And this method had to be found from Yan Lin.
After Li Shi Min finished speaking, the Thousand Bull Guards disguised as servants carried the wooden boxes into the restaurant in pairs.
"These are 60 ginsengs, each of them over a hundred years old.”
"This box of Shu brocade is a plain brocade that I specially selected. Yan Lin can make a few more sets of clothes.”
The servants opened the boxes one by one, and Li Shimin took the initiative to introduce them to Yan Lin.
Li Shimin wanted Yan Lin to see his sincerity.
Although these things were extremely valuable, Li Shimin felt that they were still too light compared to the tasteless pork that was related to the Tang Empire.
"If you feel that it's not enough, Yan Lin, what else do you want?”Li Shi Min looked at Yan Lin and said lightly. "That's enough. Li Gong, you're too polite.”Yan Lin waved his hand and said.
There was no place in his study for so many brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones.
It was just a method to remove the taste of pork. If it could make the Great Tang prosperous, Yan Lin would be happy to say it.
However, Li Gong's generosity made Yan Lin suspect his identity.
If Li Gong didn't have an official behind him, he definitely wouldn't have acted so boldly.
However, since he was an official, he could tell him how to remove the taste of the pork.
Seeing that Yan Lin said it was enough, Li Shimin nodded in his heart.
If an ordinary person saw that he was in such a hurry, they would definitely want to rip him off ruthlessly.
For the sake of the Great Tang, Li Shiming would pinch his nose and accept it.
But after that…
This Yan Lin's temperament was not bad. He knew when to advance and retreat. He would definitely have great achievements in the future.
Li Shiming thought to himself and looked at Li Lizhi.
He realized that Li Lizhi was looking at Yan Lin.
"How about this? I don't want Shu brocade. I'm not used to wearing too luxurious clothes.”
"Leave the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone with me. Xian Shu is old, so eating some ginseng to nourish himself should be useful.”
"Leave the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone with me. I can use them to kill time in my spare time. To be honest, it's really a little expensive!”Yan Lin smiled and said to Li Shimin.
Li Shi Min was stunned for a moment before a satisfied expression appeared on his face.
Xian Shu was only an old servant under Yan Lin, yet he was able to make Yan Lin care so much about him.
