Now that the delicious food is served, coupled with some delicious Erguotou, the atmosphere will become lively after a few laps.
Taking advantage of Wang Zi'an's joy, Li Shimin pretended to have a drink with Wang Zi'an casually.
"Zian, the price of food is so high now, won't there be any problems?"
"Where are you from now? I haven't started to work hard here yet - see, those big boxes in the back, I'm going to throw them out, I'm sure I can drive up the price of food. Don't worry, follow me, I'll make sure you make money
The basin is full of—"
Wang Zi'an patted Li Shimin's shoulder and gave him a "I'm here, you can rest assured" look.
Li Shimin:......
I'm so worried, I'm not worried at all!
Food prices are now going through the roof!
Tang Jian and Wei Zheng, who were enjoying their meal, couldn't help but tremble with their hands. They raised their heads in disbelief and looked at Wang Zi'an as if they were monsters.
"What! You said that the price of food in Chang'an is your fault?"
The prince drank a glass of wine happily and waved his hand modestly.
"It's an exaggeration, it's an exaggeration. To be precise, I haven't exerted much force yet——"
You haven't exerted your strength yet!
If you work hard, the Tang Dynasty will still be in dire straits, and the people will be in dire straits!
You are bringing disaster to the country and the people!
Tang Jian immediately became angry, his face darkened, he slammed his chopsticks, and was about to overturn the table and start a fight. Li Shimin quickly kicked him from under the table and glared.
"Old Tang!"
Tang Jian glanced at his emperor in surprise, didn't you hear what this kid did?
If you don't take care of it, you will be the king of subjugation!
"Why are you so excited? Sit tight and listen! I have a mouthful of meat to eat, and I don't need your soup to drink-"
Tang Jian:......
Your Majesty, are you so into this?
But seeing Li Shimin winking at him, he reluctantly sat down again.
"Zian, this is no joke. Do you know that now in Chang'an City, a bucket of grain has increased to nearly 30 yuan - once it gets out of control, it will be a disaster -"
Wei Zheng really couldn't eat anymore. He put down his chopsticks and looked at Wang Zi'an anxiously.
"Thirty cents?!"
Wang Zi'an was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out.
What's going on? I haven't even exerted my strength here yet. Are you already so excited?
It’s hard for me to get rich even if I don’t want to!
Wang Zi'an thought for a moment, tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and turned to look at Li Shimin.
"Old Li, you are talking about the price of millet, right? What is the situation of wheat now? How much does it cost per bushel?"
In the Tang Dynasty, it was different from now. There was no fine processing at that time. The wheat husks were simply removed by stone grinding or hammering, and then boiled in a pot. It was rough and difficult to swallow. Only extremely poor people could do it.
During times of famine, they mainly eat millet and sorghum.
Li Shimin glanced at Tang Jian. Tang Jian felt suffocated, but he had to answer honestly.
"The price of wheat has not increased, it is still less than two cents per bucket. What, is it possible that you still want to raise the price of wheat?"
Tang Jian glared at Wang Zi'an angrily. This young man looked like a dog, and he could eat people without spitting out their bones.
"No frying, no frying——"
Wang Zi'an rubbed his hands excitedly.
"Old Li, you deserve to be lucky. You are going to make a fortune with me - By the way, Old Tang, are you interested? I will help you make a fortune too -"
People have to be grateful and give some support to these big guys who allow them to use their skills.
Missed me again!
Wei Zheng's face turned dark.
Fortunately, he keeps a straight face every day, and you can't tell whether he is dark or not.
Seeing Wang Zi'an's excited expression, the three of them looked at each other and looked at Wang Zi'an with some confusion.
"Zian, how do you say this?"
Li Shimin's heart moved and he looked at Wang Zi'an expectantly.
Wang Zi'an was in a good mood and leaned back on his chair comfortably.
"Go, Lao Li, go to the big pot in the kitchen and get those white pasta-"
Li Shimin:......
This stinky boy, you are very smooth in instigating me!
Li Shimin stood up immediately and soon brought a basket of pasta over with a surprised look on his face.
Wei Zheng and Tang Jian immediately looked over.
What the hell is this?!
It's white and round, and when you reach out and touch it, it's a little soft.
"Come on, have a taste -"
Wang Zi'an proudly showed off the fruits of his labor.
Although I haven't finished the custom-made stone mill yet, I am very strong. I can pound out flour with a stone mortar for pounding rice. This is fermented from flour that I have carefully cultivated for several days, and the effect is still good.
good.
The three people picked it up doubtfully and took a bite.
Well, it is soft and delicious, the more you chew it, the more fragrant it becomes, and the aftertaste is a little sweet, it is edible and delicious!
"What kind of food is this and what is it made of?"
Tang Jian looked at the young man in front of him in surprise and uncertainty, and couldn't help but ask.
Li Shimin and Wei Zheng also looked at Wang Zi'an with puzzled faces. Although they had some guesses in their hearts, they still couldn't believe it and eagerly wanted to get a definite answer from Wang Zi'an.
"Steamed buns, wheat-"
Li Shimin, Wei Zheng, and Tang Jian suddenly took a breath of cold air and were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths.
"Young man, are you sure you are not joking?"
Tang Jian's beard trembled with excitement.
There is not much food in the warehouses of the Tang Dynasty, but there is wheat. If this thing can make such delicious pasta, then most of this year's famine will be over!
Tang Jian wants to cry!
In the past few years, he has demolished the east wall and repaired the west wall, working hard and diligently. His hair and beard have turned more than half gray from worry, but he still cannot make ends meet.
Just come and have a meal, the problem is solved?
He could hardly believe his ears.
Li Shimin and Wei Zheng couldn't help but feel ecstatic!
You just know, you know, this brat can always bring unexpected surprises to people!
"Come on, let's team up and let's have a big fight!"
Wang Zi'an pointed to several large, full boxes inside.
"Leave three boxes of these, and throw the rest in. Let your caravan start buying wheat quietly from today on, open your mouth, and collect as much as you can - price is not an issue!"
Li Shimin and Tang Jian couldn't help but look at each other, and their eyes lit up!
"Zian, is this grinding tool easy to make?"
After all, Tang Jian was an old minister who had been in charge of the Ministry of Civil Affairs for many years. Although his heart was shaking with excitement, he still held firm.
"It's very simple and the cost is not high. I will give you the drawings later - By the way, Lao Li, the situation has changed now. You have to speed up the progress, otherwise you will be late -"
Li Shimin nodded excitedly.
passionate!
There is an exciting feeling of being about to charge into battle.
Long time no see, my battlefield.
However, this time, he was not a marshal, but even after following Wang Zi'an, the excitement still made him tremble.
