1383 Each has his own mind

 How to relieve worries? Only Du Kang! Why celebrate? Only Du Kang!

Tang Jian and Xiao Han, who were thousands of miles away but had the chance to meet each other, after exchanging greetings for a while, they simultaneously proposed to have a meal at a mutton restaurant not far away.

Since it was not yet dinner time, the two people, surrounded by guards, came to the restaurant. In addition to tables, chairs and benches, the waiter and the shopkeeper were left lying on the gray-red counter and falling asleep.

"Waiter! We have a guest!"

Xiaodong was the first to run into the restaurant. When he saw that no one was waiting for him, he frowned and shouted loudly, which almost made the two people on the counter hug each other and jump up...

"who!"

Covering his little heart that was beating wildly, the waiter looked out the door with wide eyes.

As a result, when he saw clearly that a large group of people wearing armors were pouring into the store, his face turned pale with fear. He thought that someone had been offended or something had been done, so he quickly looked at the shopkeeper next to him.

The shopkeeper next to him also saw the situation in the store at this time, and was also very frightened. However, he was the shopkeeper after all, and he could not rely on others like the waiter, so he had to bite the bullet and bowed repeatedly: "You guys are coming to the shop, is it?

What's the matter? I'm related to Captain Sun in the city, and we had a drink together yesterday. If you need anything, just ask, we're all one family!"

What the shopkeeper said was absolutely beautiful. Not only did he lower his attitude, but he also pointed out his relationship with the troops stationed in the city. It was absolutely watertight.

However, the shopkeeper's painstaking words were of no use in front of this group of people.

Xiaodong ignored him at all, but quickly wiped a table and chairs in the center of the store with his sleeves, and then attentively helped Xiao Han and Tang Jian sit down and poured water.

After everything was done, I turned around and saw the shopkeeper and the waiter standing there stupidly motionless. I suddenly felt angry. I took out a gold leaf from my arms and threw it away with my hand!

"What are you two doing so stupidly? Hurry up and serve the food! Serve the wine, are you worried that we won't pay or something!"

Along with Xiaodong's angry shout, a golden leaf drew an arc in the air and flew to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper looked at the golden light, subconsciously caught it, then put it in his mouth and bit it gently. When he took it out again, several big teeth marks appeared on it.

"Gold? Really!"

Staring blankly at the tooth marks on the gold leaves, the store manager and the waiter swallowed together and looked at each other. After a moment, two flattering greetings sounded almost at the same time!

"This distinguished guest! Invite me quickly! What do you want to eat? The mutton soup here is the best in the city! You will definitely be satisfied!"

It must be said that the power of money is powerful!

Especially in this war-torn border town, gold! That’s hard currency!

Compared with copper coins, which are bulky and not recognized by the Turks, whether they are trading with caravans, doing business on the grasslands, or fleeing as a family, this kind of golden gadget is everyone's favorite.

So, when Xiaodong throws away gold, why does the shopkeeper care whether these people are soldiers or bandits? They are more attentive than serving their own father!

Seeing his transformation from a silly goose to a waiter and shopkeeper who were even more flattering than a brothel madam, Tang Jian knocked on the table with interest and asked Xiao Han: "You Xiao family members are so eclectic in everything they do?"

Xiao Han rolled his eyes and smiled awkwardly: "Hey, isn't this simple compared to the time-consuming and laborious explanation?"

"Haha, it's true!" Tang Jian laughed and gave Xiao Han a thumbs up.

The hot mutton soup was quickly served on the table.

The somewhat dull waiter finally looked at him this time and knew who was the most noble among these people. He didn't stupidly pay Xiaodong first, but carefully gave the first portion of mutton soup to Xiao Han and Tang Jian.

.

Shuofang is located in the northwest. The mountains and rivers here are not good for all kinds of food, but grazing is excellent.

Even if the sheep raised here are just cleaned and thrown into the pot without any seasoning, the stewed soup will be as milky white as milk!

If you add a handful of finely chopped green onions, coriander, and finally a little salt, the aroma will be absolutely intoxicating!

"Hey, that's right! Brother Tang, why are you here?"

Gently stirring the broth in the bowl, Xiao Han took a sip of the aroma of meat intoxicatedly. Suddenly he remembered something, put down his chopsticks, raised his head and asked Tang Jian.

Tang Jian was still smiling. He also glanced at Xiao Han and said meaningfully: "Aren't you here too?"

"I?"

Xiao Han chuckled, pretending not to understand what Tang Jian was saying, and said, "I was sent by your Majesty to deliver food and grass here!"

When Tang Jian heard Xiao Han's shameless self-defense, his face instantly darkened! He thought to himself: Are you here to deliver food and grass? How can you say such a thing?!

Look at these people following you, Ren Qing, needless to say! There are also those familiar faces who are tall and tall and often appear in the palace!

Good guy, if you just came to deliver food, would the emperor need to send such a large formation to protect him?

"Hey, as expected, the one closest to His Majesty is still you!"

Sighing, Tang Jian looked at Xiao Han with a hint of resentment in his eyes.

In fact, both he and Xiao Han knew: This battle against the Turks will be the most important battle after Li Shimin ascends to the throne!

If this battle can be won and Li Shimin's original shame on the Weihe River is washed away, then everyone involved will receive unparalleled glory and benefits!

Therefore, those generals rushed to go to war even if they broke their heads! But Tang Jian also stayed in Shuofang despite the danger!

But neither those generals nor Tang Jian could compare to Xiao Han!

Others were working desperately to fight for this opportunity, but he had been arranged by His Majesty early, sent Ouchi guards to protect him, and was sent to Shuofang to be gilded.

Sure enough, comparing people to each other has to be done to death, and comparing goods to goods has to be thrown away! If Xiao Han hadn't been a few years younger than Li Shimin, Tang Jian would have maliciously speculated that he was Li Shimin's illegitimate son.

There is no way to go on talking about this topic. After all, one of them is a crow and the other is a black pig. No one needs to laugh at the other.

He lowered his head and took a few sips of the mutton soup. When the atmosphere gradually became dull, Tang Jian broke the silence and brought the topic out.

"Xiao Hou, do you know that your Turkic caravan will be back tomorrow?"

"I know." Xiao Han stuffed a piece of mutton into his mouth and answered a little slurred.

What a joke, he set the date for the caravan to return to Datang, how could he not know?

Originally, according to the plan, the caravan would be delayed in the grassland for half a month, but Xiao Han was afraid that the news of Chang'an's dispatch of troops would spread to the grassland, so he asked the falcon to bring the order to come back immediately. Counting the days, it should be tomorrow

, the caravan will arrive at Shuofang.
