After entering Chang'an nearly two months later, Li Shan quickly felt the difference. The slightly depressing atmosphere dissipated, and the great achievements of Qin King Li Shimin were sung everywhere.
Today's Tang Dynasty is not the Tang Dynasty that dominates the world. The imperial soldiers have not yet set foot on the vast grasslands, allowing the Turkic nobles to guard the Daming Palace with guns, and the subjects do not have a superior mentality.
Liu Heitai, who was backed by the Turks, swept through Hebei and repeatedly defeated the Tang army, which obviously put a lot of pressure on Chang'an City.
Under this circumstance, Qin King Li Shimin, who defeated Liu Heita in the first battle, received widespread support. This was the result of the long-term division and turmoil in the world since the end of the Han Dynasty.
"The leader accepted the command and resigned, and the ministers and generals attacked the rebellious ministers. Xian sang "The Music of Breaking the Formation" to appreciate the people of peace."
"Dalang, listen!" Zhu Ba pointed at a place curiously.
The rough singing voice could be heard faintly among the people, and Li Shan whispered: "The king of Qin is having fun breaking the formation."
Li Shan thought in his heart that in a sense, it was inevitable for Li Shimin to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.
Compared with Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, who had many military exploits, was better able to defend the country's subjects from intrusion. For the people, this was better than anything else.
I went to Dongshi for a walk. Far away from the plaque of Qiong Yao in Dongshan, Li Shan saw a rough and arrogant man holding a wine glass and raising his head to drink. What poured out was soy milk!
The young scholar on the other side was holding an oil paper bag and chewing fried dough sticks, his mouth full of oil.
Li Shan shuddered and stepped aside. He heard Wang Renbiao once say that it was called ghee. He didn't know which plant it was refined from, but no matter what kind of oil it was, it was reused.
It’s been tempered many times.
In my previous life, I would have been adamant about reporting it, but now, well, as long as I don't eat the dead, that's fine.
I had heard that Dongshan Qiongyao was selling well in Dongshi, but Li Shan didn't expect it to be so popular. He had to wait in line for a while... There was no way, the catering industry in the Tang Dynasty was not comparable to that of the 21st century, let alone the Song Dynasty.
There's no comparison.
He stretched his neck and looked at the oil pan. The black oil was boiling. Li Shan clicked his tongue twice and said, "A bowl of Gewürztraminer."
The waiter was stunned for a moment and said, "Sir, a bowl of Gewürztraminer is one penny, and a fried dough stick is also one penny..."
“No fried dough sticks, just Gewürztraminer.”
Everyone around looked at Li Shan in surprise, what a fool.
Li Shan murmured in his heart, in this era, do you call guests guest officers?
In fact, "Keguan" was first used as an honorific title for foreign officials in the Han Dynasty, and it gradually evolved into "Keguan".
Li Shan took the Gewurztraminer and added some sauce and side dishes. He found a seat and sat down. He looked around and was quite satisfied. Most of the people drank Gewurztraminer, and they were all salty.
Zhu Ba held the Gewürztraminer in one hand and the fried dough sticks in the other as he squeezed over. He said regretfully, "I should have brought two pieces of candy from Seventeen."
Li Shan was too lazy to pay attention to this guy. He also knew in his heart that the more wealthy the family, the more they liked sweets. People in the middle and lower classes didn't like sweets but couldn't afford them, because sugar was still a luxury item in the Tang Dynasty.
The candy was bought for him by Mrs. Zhu.
He vaguely remembered that sugar cane juice production started to develop in the Tang Dynasty, and it seemed that it was introduced from India. Li Shan thought about it, Xuanzang hadn't set out yet, should he ask him to help?
The next moment, Li Shan threw away this idea, introduced the sugar production method, and raised so many sweeteners to create trouble for himself?
Leaving behind two copper coins, Li Shan took Zhu Ba away, walked around the East Market from the other end, and went to the West Market. Unexpectedly, he saw the plaque of "Dongshan Qiong Yao" as soon as he entered.
"Two bowls of Gewürztraminer." Li Shan asked Zhu Ba, who couldn't help but ask carefully.
After a while, two bowls of Gewürztraminer were served. Li Shan tasted them and realized that they were wrong. They probably weren't brought from Dongshan Temple.
Li Shan called the waiter and asked with a smile: "I only heard that there is Gewurztraminer in the East Market, but I didn't expect that it is also available in the West Market. Is it from the same owner?"
The waiter smiled apologetically but refused to speak. Li Shan didn't ask any further questions and pulled Zhu Ba away.
"Dalang, did the Li family steal the secret recipe?"
Li Shan said nonchalantly: "Maybe, you were lazy when you bought plaster last time and asked the soybeans from the Li family to buy it for you."
Zhu Ba slapped his head in annoyance, "Go and settle the score with them!"
"Nothing." Li Shan tugged on this fool's arm and said, "Follow me."
Zhu Ba followed Li Shan in a muffled voice until he reached the door of Wang Renbiao's house before he suddenly realized, "Yes, we should settle the score with him!"
"Shut up!"
Li Shan did not believe that it was Wang Renbiao who was causing trouble. There was no need to do so. Although Li Fu was Wang Renbiao's father-in-law, he had to obey his son-in-law's wishes in everything, so there was no need to cause trouble.
Most likely, the secret was leaked.
Using gypsum to make tofu is a bit of a fantasy in this era, but it is easy to break at once and it is difficult to keep it secret.
Li Shan didn't care about this. If it was really Wang Renbiao and Li Fu who were causing trouble, it can only be said that they were short-sighted. For time travellers, there are too many similar businesses... and Li Shan would also write it down in a small notebook.
Previous transaction.
Besides, in the past two months, Li Shan has made a lot of money from this business, and the villagers of Zhujiagou have also benefited a lot. The rate of return on the first pot of gold is already high enough.
But if it is really Wang Renbiao who is causing trouble, Li Shan has no hope for today's trip... He wants to find out information about the Chang'an Order.
"No one?"
Li Shan muttered, and there was no sound on the door for a while.
At this time, a timid female voice came from inside, "Who is outside?"
"Mrs. Sister-in-law, Li Shan of Dongshan Temple, isn't Brother Wang at home?"
Hearing the sound of the door bolt hitting the ground, Mrs. Li opened the door a moment later and saluted, "Uncle Li, your husband happened to be out."
Since Li Shan donated 50 guan of money, Wang Renbiao and his wife went to Zhujiagou several times. The two families were well-connected, and Li called Li Shan uncle, which was how women in the Tang Dynasty called their husband's brother.
"Sorry to disturb my wife, I'll see you later in the afternoon..."
"Ugh, vomit..."
Before Li Shan finished speaking, Li, who was holding them with one hand, suddenly bent over and vomited, and his body was shaky.
"Mrs. sister-in-law?"
Li barely stood up, but felt dizzy. In a hurry, her legs gave out and she fell down.
"Mrs. Sister-in-law?" Li Shan's damn sense of responsibility buried deep in his heart broke out again, and he took two steps forward to support Li without hesitation, "Zhu Ba, go get the doctor!"
Li Shan is an orthopedic surgeon and works a shift in the emergency department. There are no effective measures to deal with Li who is vomiting and fainting... Is it possible that he can still get an electrocardiogram in Tang Dynasty?
It’s only right to call a doctor immediately!
Looking around, he saw that passers-by were already looking over. Li Shan thought for a moment and helped Mr. Li through the door.
I was still thinking of finding a place to put Li's house before going back to close the door... It was no longer needed, and a loud shout sounded behind Li Shan.
"What a thief!"
Li Shan half-turned around and looked back in astonishment. A young man in a green shirt was furious, choked, pulled out a sword from his waist and pointed it at him.
"Thief, let go of my sister-in-law!"
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding."
"Thief, look at the knife!" The young man in green shirt seemed to have a hot temper. He picked up the knife and slashed at Li Shan's left arm.
"Twelfth brother, wait a minute." The young man in red who followed him through the door shouted, closed the door and then said, "Be careful of hurting the Wang family's sister-in-law."
The young man in red was polite and polite, "Who are you? Why are you here? If there is any misunderstanding, please let go of the women and discuss it in detail."
The words sounded pleasant, but Li Shan saw the young man in green shirt taking two steps forward silently, his saber raised slightly.
Well, Mrs. Li was completely weak and unconscious, and she only relied on Li Shan's arms to keep her from falling... This gesture was inevitably a bit abrupt, and I really can't blame Li Shan. Who asked him to take a shift in the emergency room.
At this moment, the door suddenly opened. Wang Renbiao watched in astonishment as the two friends drew swords on the other friend, who hugged his beloved wife tightly and looked innocent.
"Brother Wang, this is really a misunderstanding."
