"Does it smell good?"
"Does it smell good?"
"Does it smell good?"
“......”
This sentence seemed to have a magical nature, echoing in Li Shiming and Cheng Yaojin's ears.
The greatest problem in the expedition against the Turks was the supply of rations.
An army of a hundred thousand consumed a huge amount of food every day.
The two of them knew better than anyone else the principle of grain and fodder moving first before the troops moved.
Once there was a problem with food at the rear, even an army of a million would find it difficult to move forward!
Potato was small and easy to transport.
It was delicious, but it was also very hungry.
The way to eat it was even simpler.
This was the best food for the army!
Cheng Yaojin slapped down excitedly.
Bang!
The table almost fell apart, and it shook a few times before it stabilized.
"Smells so good, Shopkeeper Lin, it smells so good!”
Cheng Yaojin couldn't even speak properly, and his tongue was tied.
"Can you sell this potato to me? Name a price, I, Old Cheng, will not bargain!”
Lin Fan didn't understand why he was so excited.
Although potatoes were precious now, once they were popularized, they would be worthless. By then, they would be everywhere and there would be no business opportunities at all.
He just wanted to come up with a new dish.
Moreover, it was unrealistic to want to spread it throughout the country. If they didn't plant good crops and only planted potatoes, they would probably be beaten to death by the farmers.
"No need for money. For Old Li's sake, I'll give you one.”
Li Shi Min was stunned.
He immediately thought that his identity had been exposed.
However, judging from his reaction, it didn't seem like it.
Such a divine item was given away just like that. It was free.
This Lin Fan was indeed not an ordinary person.
I really didn't expect my reputation to be so big.
Li Shi Min didn't say anything, but he was feeling very happy.
It was really rare for him to be forthright and righteous.
Cheng Yaojin was even more excited." Really?”
Lin Fan shrugged," Why would I lie to you? If you like it, take it."”
Cheng Yaojin raised the wine jar high and said boldly,"Shopkeeper Lin, I, Old Cheng, am convinced. This wine is a toast to you. If you need my help in the future, just let me know!”
With that, he raised his head.
"Gulp."
"Gulp."
The strong liquor dripped down from the corner of his mouth and soaked his sleeves.
After a while, Cheng Yaojin finished the entire jar of high-alcohol white wine.
He even deliberately pointed the mouth of the jar downward and gestured.
Not a drop was left.
This boorish man was also a sentimental person.
Vicious.
Too ruthless.
After drinking a jar of wine, Cheng Yaojin felt a little dizzy, and his feet were a little unsteady as if he was stepping on cotton.
She stumbled a few steps before she found a stool.
"Alright... Wine, really good wine…Ah!"
Cheng Yaojin's face, which was not pale to begin with, was now blackish-red.
Obviously, he was too arrogant.
The three of them chatted happily.
In the blink of an eye, the sky gradually darkened.
Li Shiming felt that he hadn't had enough fun yet, but in order to save the trouble of returning to the palace.
He could only say," It's getting late. We should go back. Don't delay Brother Lin's closing time."”
Lin Fan dug out a potato full of sprouts from the backyard, wrapped it in a towel, and handed it to Cheng Yaojin.
"Go back and dig a hole and bury it. If you have time, water it and apply fertilizer. If you don't have time, don't worry about it.”
Cheng Yaojin took it and nodded like a millet pecking at rice.
She carefully stuffed it into her arms and smiled so widely that she couldn't close her mouth.
"Thank you, Shopkeeper Lin. I'll come to your place for a drink another day!”
Lin Fan waved his hand dismissively.
"Old Cheng, if you like it, I'll send a few jars to your residence later.”
Cheng Yaojin was about to speak when he suddenly remembered the three rules.
He licked his lips and said,"No need to trouble yourself. I'll come over personally when I have time."”
Lin Fan nodded," That's good too.”
After a simple farewell, Lin Fan locked the doors and windows and started to pack up.
"Old Li's friends are really generous.”
"Unfortunately…They're all sick."
......
On the street.
The breeze at night woke Cheng Yaojin up a lot.
Li Shi Min smiled all the way with his hands behind his back, looking around leisurely.
"What do you think of this kid?”
Cheng Yaojin gave him a thumbs up." A rare genius, a rare talent!"”
Although Cheng Yaojin was rough and did not care about trifles, it did not mean that he was stupid.
In the early years, he had gone on expeditions everywhere and had seen a lot of people.
But this was the first time he had seen someone like Lin Fan.
He knows astronomy and geography.
No matter what they were talking about, Shopkeeper Lin would have to chat with them, as if there was nothing he didn't know.
The most shocking thing was that he was right.
He was so convinced that he couldn't even refute him.
Cheng Yaojin finally understood the meaning behind Zhangsun Wuji's words. How was His Majesty craving for wine!
This was clearly because he loved talent.
The drunkard's intention was not the wine!
"Your Majesty, why not recruit Shopkeeper Lin to become an official?”Cheng Yaojin asked in confusion.
Li Shi Min let out a long sigh.
On the way back, he told Cheng Yaojin what had happened.
However, he left out the story of the wife.
After hearing this, Cheng Yaojin felt that he had completely sobered up.
What kind of monster was this?
He was capable of both literature and martial arts, and he knew the government.
He stayed in the tavern but knew about the world.
He couldn't help but sigh.
"That's how you give birth to a child!"
Li Shi Min was also a little melancholic.
? Since Lin Fan didn't want to become an official, he couldn't force him.
It was not the right time yet.
When Lin Fan became his son-in-law.
He couldn't do whatever he wanted.
A smile appeared on his face.
Li Shimin was getting impatient, he hated that Changle was not born a few months earlier.
However, Cheng Yaojin naturally did not know about these words.
......
After safely escorting Li Shiming back to the palace, Cheng Yaojin walked alone on the way back to the mansion.
The more Lin Fan thought about it, the more he liked it.
How could other people's sons be so outstanding? They both had a head, two arms, and two legs, but why was the difference so huge!
When he thought of his prodigal son, Cheng Yaojin became even angrier.
She was so angry that she gritted her teeth and stomped her feet.
He quickly returned to the residence.
Cheng Yaojin rushed into the backyard angrily and pulled Cheng Chumo out of bed.
Cheng Chumo kneeled on the ground, sticking his butt out.
He even yawned.
He was dumbfounded. Who did he offend in the middle of the night?
The rattan in Cheng Yaojin's hand made a cracking sound.
"I'll beat you to death today!”
Pa!
Pa!
Pa!
What followed was a series of shrieks and howls.
......
In the Imperial Palace.
In the palace of Empress Zhangsun.
Li Shi Min said excitedly.
"Guanyin maid, I have something important to tell you!”
