Chapter 159 This is simply turning stone into gold
"Let's go, go find Zian and have a good drink - by the way, the prince sent me a mountain deer today. Go get it and take it with you. The royal chef in my palace can't make the taste of Zian's food.
ah……"
Having said this, he couldn't help but subconsciously support his waist again. Everyone who has used it said that the efficacy of this medicinal diet is good.
After leaving the memorial and putting on his regular clothes, Li Shimin was about to leave.
I saw the old eunuch Chang De poking his head at the door. He hesitated to speak and couldn't help laughing and cursing.
"You old man, if you have anything to say, just say it. What tricks are you playing with me here?"
"Your Majesty is wise and can see thousands of miles away——"
Changde bowed to Li Shimin honestly, with a somewhat flattering look.
"It's the ladies in the harem who want me to remind Your Majesty that when you come back from the palace, don't forget to bring some moisturizer and soap - the ladies have been talking about it for a while..."
Li Shimin:......
Not only those noble concubines, but also my own group of daughters have been talking about it for a long time. It’s really troublesome!
Ever since I got a few boxes of moisturizer back from Zian last time, the harem has exploded. Those concubines and daughters, big and small, come to me to pretend to be pitiful and aggrieved when they have nothing to do, and secretly and openly want to moisturize.
Skin cream.
When will this end?
Li Shimin couldn't help but get a headache when he thought about this problem.
Fortunately, they haven't seen the glazed statue that Zian gave to the queen and Yuzhang, otherwise they don't know how long the fuss will last.
Hey, it is so difficult to be an emperor.
…
"Zian, what kind of martial arts secrets and force techniques does this calligraphy of yours contain?"
Wang Zi'an's set of Tai Chi just now made him realize something. He felt that there was only a layer of window paper missing, but it just couldn't be touched.
At this time, covering his face with some alcohol, Cheng Yaojin seized the opportunity and took out the two pieces of cursive script brought back by his precious son on the spot, spread them out on the table with great care, and asked with squinting eyes.
Wang Zi’an:……
If I tell you that this is Xia Ji Ba's writing, I wonder if you will fall out on the spot?
"Well, this depends on fate and understanding. You can't force it. It's best if you can understand it. It doesn't matter if you don't. At your age, when you have nothing to do, it's good to practice Tai Chi more..."
Before Wang Zi'an could finish his words, he heard Taoist Priest Wang next to Sun Simiao echoing in admiration.
"Yes, what Wang Xiaoyou said is true. Tai Chi's mastery of the coexistence of yin and yang, even if you put aside the method of health preservation, is also a first-class martial arts secret. For veterans like you who have been fighting on the battlefield for many years, it is definitely rare.
benefit……"
Wang Zi'an couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, "Old man, are you serious?"
When Cheng Yaojin heard this, he couldn't help but his spirit was shaken, and a look of excitement flashed in his eyes. At this time, he already knew that the Taoist Wang in front of him was the senior brother of Yao Jian of Wudang Mountain, and a first-class martial artist.
Learn from the masters.
At this time, after hearing what he said, I couldn't help but nodded secretly.
I have decided to start practicing Tai Chi every day.
When Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chuliang, who were waiting on the side, heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other and silently kept these words in their hearts.
It turns out that the Tai Chi taught by my brother-in-law is so powerful, it’s ridiculous that Li Siwen is so ignorant that he even thinks he’s good and bad, so he has to make fun of him when they meet him!
When the wine was almost done, another guest came to visit. Wang Zi'an and Sun Simiao took the opportunity to stand up and say goodbye.
Although Cheng Yaojin really wanted to keep the two miracle doctors, they were determined to leave, and he couldn't force them to stay, so he reluctantly sent them out the door and arranged for a carriage and horse to see them off.
Because Sun Simiao and Wang Daochang were going to Xuandu to visit friends, Wang Zian simply followed them for an extra trip. They had been going back and forth all day long, and they had not yet bought the daily necessities they wanted to buy.
I bought some seasonings such as star anise, pepper, fennel, and some salt, mutton, etc., and then I took the carriage home.
Seeing that it was still early, Wang Zi'an returned home and simply took out his simple equipment for purifying refined salt, preparing to purify the salt he bought.
The table salt in Datang, even the high-end refined salt, was slightly yellow and tasted slightly bitter, which made Wang Zi'an very uncomfortable. Therefore, he later didn't bother to buy refined salt and just bought some coarse salt.
, go home and make arrangements for yourself.
When Li Shimin and Li Junxian arrived, Wang Zi'an had not finished processing the coarse salt.
"Zian, what are you busy with?"
Like a curious baby, Li Shimin walked up, poked here and there, touched here and there, and looked over and over again.
Wang Zi’an:……
Are you a drama queen?
Come here to play me again!
Forget it, since you are willing to play this kind of private interview game, then go ahead and play, it is best to keep playing, I will be happy to hug you easily.
While Wang Zi'an was filtering the salt water, he knocked the copper basin in his hand angrily and stabbed him pointedly.
"You're stupid, but you're still a wealthy businessman smuggling out of the customs—"
Li Shimin:......
What happened to my wealthy businessman? I offended you.
"Are you trying to purify coarse salt?"
Li Junxian smelled the strong smell of salt water in the air, squatted down and twisted the coarse salt in the bag, and asked thoughtfully.
"Well, there are too many salt impurities on the market, which makes it taste bad. I will simply make some and eat it myself..."
Li Shimin and Li Junxian:......
Instead of buying the refined salt on the market, you have to buy coarse salt and prepare it yourself. How free do you have to be!
The two of them couldn't help but secretly complain.
"I thought you were planning something new. You want refined salt. I'll bring you some later. It's all from the palace. It's definitely first-class refined salt -"
Li Shimin waved his hand rather boldly.
Wang Zi'an couldn't help but raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, curling his lips secretly.
"Thanks, I'm afraid I won't be able to get used to it... If you have the time, you might as well help me."
Seeing what Wang Zi'an said, Li Shimin didn't force himself. He squatted down very skillfully and helped Wang Zi'an heat the pot.
The salt purchased was not much to begin with, and with the help of Li Shimin and Li Junxian, the salt was purified in a short time.
"this--"
Looking at the crystal white fine salt in the copper basin, Li Shimin and Li Junxian's eyes widened in disbelief.
This quality is actually three points better than the tribute salt from the palace.
Li Shimin's eyes couldn't help but sparkle, he pinched a little thoughtfully, put it in his mouth and tasted it carefully.
"Good salt! It's better than the refined salt I got from the palace - no wonder you look down on my salt..."
Li Shimin looked at Wang Zi'an with complicated eyes, and then at Wang Zi'an, who looked simple but actually concealed luxury.
No wonder this brat refuses to be an official. With his living standard, even a princely family might not be able to keep up with him.
"You just use this thing to turn these coarse salts into this refined salt..."
Li Junxian couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, this was like turning stone into gold.
