What is it like to compete with famous generals who are famous throughout the ages?
Thank you for the invitation. The person is in the coffin and has just been buried.
Of course, no normal person would agree to compete with Li Ji.
Li Qinzai is also a normal person. When Li Ji was about to take Ma Shu, he immediately gave in.
There is no shame in giving in in front of your grandfather, that’s how you know the current affairs.
Li Ji pointed at him unhappily and then at the door.
Grandfather and grandson were connected. Li Qinzai immediately understood what Li Ji meant and said hurriedly: "My grandson immediately reminded my mother that we will not receive ladies from powerful families from today on. If you want to buy the beauty ointment, you can go to the Li family store in Chang'an West City." Li Ji snorted, stood up and was about to leave, but saw Butler Wu running over in a hurry, saying that there was an angel from the palace outside the door.
Li Ji's expression became tense and he hurriedly opened the door. Li Ji led his children in the mansion and stood respectfully in the front yard, waiting for the angel.
A eunuch walked into the door with a smile on his face. There was no yellow silk imperial edict or anything like that in his hand. When the eunuch entered, he first saluted Li Ji, and then said with a smile: "I dare to ask, old man, who is the fifth member of your family?"
Young Master?"
Li Ji was stunned. Li Cui behind him quietly pushed Li Qinzai. Li Qinzai staggered forward and looked at the eunuch with a confused expression.
The eunuch hurriedly bowed his head and said with a smile: "Young Master is really powerful. The beauty cream he created is famous all over Chang'an. Even the Taiji Palace has heard about it. The queen also likes it very much. She asked her servants to go out to the palace to buy it. But who knows?
Knowing that Zhuyan Cream was in short supply, the waiter waited all morning in the West Market and there was no queue..."
As he spoke, the eunuch bowed to Li Jichang again and said: "Before I leave the palace, the queen told my slave to apologize to my husband first. It is said to be a powerful thing, and it makes no sense to spread it. What the queen means is, can you please invite me to your palace?"
Wu Shaolang provides Gong Wei with a batch of facial cream every month?"
Before Li Qinzai could say anything, Li Ji beside him said hurriedly: "I have agreed on behalf of my useless grandson. Please rest assured, Queen. I immediately ordered my family to prepare the facial cream and send it to Tai Chi Palace in the afternoon."
The eunuch bowed again, but said nothing. He just looked at Li Qinzai with a smile.
Li Qinzai was distracted.
Isn’t today’s queen the future Wu Zetian? Unexpectedly, Wu Zetian also wears a facial mask she made herself.
So here comes the question, if Wu Zetian with a gray-black face was suddenly seen by Emperor Li Zhi in the middle of the night, and frightened the already cowardly emperor to death, would Li Qinzai be considered an assassin?
My thoughts drift further and further away, and my thoughts drift further and further away.
Seeing Li Qinzai looking like he was out of his mind, Li Jiji was so angry that he raised his foot and kicked his butt.
"Speak, you evildoer!" Li Ji said angrily.
Li Qinzai finally came to his senses, thought for a moment, and said, "If the palace wants it, can it be considered a tribute?"
The eunuch smiled and said: "Fifth Young Master has asked well. Things sent to the palace for the emperor and queen to enjoy are naturally considered tributes. However, since they are tributes, they must be different from those sold outside. Otherwise, how can the majesty of the Tian family be highlighted?
?Wu Shaolang, look..."
Li Qinzai understands.
The royal family needs to save face. They cannot rush to buy like those prodigal wives, and the facial cream supplied to the palace must be different from what is on the market. Otherwise, how can the royal dignity be highlighted?
As for how it is different, it depends on the Fifth Young Master who invented the facial cream.
"No problem. Tomorrow at the latest, the Li family can send the royal facial cream to Tai Chi Palace." Li Qinzai agreed without hesitation.
The eunuch left with satisfaction.
After the eunuch left, Li Cui asked worriedly: "Qin Zai, if it is exclusively for the royal family, does the secret recipe of the Zhuyan Cream need to be changed?"
Li Qinzai smiled and said: "No need, just change the packaging."
"Packaging?"
"The bottle containing the facial cream is an ordinary fired porcelain bottle. Let's replace it with a more luxurious one. Put a gold rim on the porcelain bottle, engrave a royal seal or something, and it will become a special tribute. It's too simple." Mrs. Li Cui still frowned and said, "Wouldn't the secret recipe be changed? If the servants bothered to ask, I'm afraid it would be difficult. After all, the things used by the royal family must be different from those outside."
Li Qinzai said nonchalantly: "Then double the amount of pearl powder in the secret recipe. Pearl powder will help whiten the skin. The queen will definitely like it. And after adding more pearl powder, the color of the beauty cream will be different from the outside. At a glance
You can see the difference."
Li Cui is very serious about this matter. After all, it is for the royal family. If there is a slight mistake, the whole Li family will be in big trouble.
Li Qinzai didn't care much. He knew that the so-called secret recipe of the beauty cream was actually meaningless. If you add more or less of the pearl powder, ginseng powder, etc. in it, you can mess around with the ratios, but it won't have much effect on the skin.
Impact.
If he wasn't afraid of getting into trouble, Li Qinzai even wanted to mix some sweat medicine into the facial cream. Empress Wu would apply it on her face every night and she would immediately pass out.
While maintaining the skin, it can also fully improve Empress Wu's sleep quality.
If you keep using it, maybe people will become stupid, which will save Li Zhi and the future of Datang Sheji a lot of trouble. How great.
…………
The next morning, Li Qinzai got into the kitchen in the backyard as soon as he woke up.
Li Qinzai allowed entertainment and technology to be backward in this era, but he never allowed food to also be backward.
As a promising young man who is determined to be a waste, Li Qinzai will definitely not wrong himself in the field of food.
What Junk wants in his whole life is nothing more than "food and sex". This shows how important "eating" is to Junk.
A real man stands between heaven and earth. If he cannot feast happily, how is he any different from an animal?
Huh? Such arrogant words, but something feels wrong...
It's late summer and the weather is still hot and dry.
The autumn tiger in Guanzhong is very poisonous. Although it has already entered autumn, the world is still like a big steamer, and everyone lives like a medium-rare steamed bun.
In such hot weather, barbecue and cold beer must be arranged.
Ice beer cannot be arranged at the moment, so you can use iced grape wine instead.
Barbecuing is not difficult.
Li Qinzai was busy in the kitchen all morning, and with the help of the cook, he finally threaded the pieces of mutton on bamboo skewers.
Sprinkle with fine salt and a little wine, marinate for an hour, and then bake it at sunset.
Barbecue and fine wine are standard. If you want to top it off, you still need a friend to sit with and brag about.
In terms of ranking order, my friend is just a little bit higher than the mutton skewers.
After finishing working in the kitchen, Butler Wu came to report that Xue Ne was here.
Xue Ne seemed very lethargic today. Li Qinzai looked at him curiously and found that he had a few bruises on his face.
"Being beaten?" Li Qinzai frowned.
It has not been long since I came to this strange world, and Xue Ne is the only friend that Li Qinzai recognizes.
If Xue Ne is bullied, Li Qinzai must help him stand up.
"I was beaten." Xue Na sighed sadly.
Li Qinzai was furious: "Let's go and help you get revenge!"
"Brother Jingchu, I can't afford to offend this guy, and you can't afford to offend him either..." Xue Ne said with a sad face.
Li Qinzai sneered: "I even dare to sell the white jade Pegasus given by the late emperor, who else can't afford to offend me?"
After finishing speaking, Li Qinzai was stunned. The argument seemed a bit strange. Is the sale of the white jade Pegasus considered a scandal or a great achievement worth showing off?
Xue Ne sighed sadly: "Because the person who beat me is my father... Brother Jingchu, do you still want to help me avenge you?"
Li Qinzai calmed down instantly: "Oh, then it's okay."
"That's it?"
"Also, drinking more hot water can help injuries heal."
Xue Rengui personally beat his son, but Li Qinzai really couldn't afford to offend him. He was a famous general. He had three eclipses of the sun and was as strong as an ox. He was idle even when he was idle. It was natural to beat his son.
"Why did your father beat you?" Li Qinzai couldn't help but ask.
Xue Ne became increasingly sad: "Do you remember the last time I stole my father's waist knife from the warehouse?"
Li Qinzai was surprised: "Given by the Heavenly Family?"
"That's not true, but it's not a small thing. It was given to me by my grandfather when my father was in the army. Later, when my father became prominent, the sword was kept in the warehouse until he was chosen by me to sell it...
”
Xue Ne's lips trembled and she said sadly: "My Xue family's heirloom is gone. I shouldn't be alive. Why didn't my father beat me to death..."
