Poor Li Er, when he was young, he was a man who led three thousand Xuanjia troops and dominated the world.
Unexpectedly, in my later years, my boat would capsize in the countryside...
"You two are dressed in extraordinary clothes and don't look like refugees. Tell me, what do you do and why do you come here to make trouble?" Su Chen looked at the two of them and spoke calmly.
Unexpectedly, the two of them heard Su Chen's inquiry and did not reply.
Seeing this scene, Su Chen frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy.
"What's the matter, are you looking down on me?!" Su Chen waved his hand and said to his men: "The origins of these two people are unknown. I think they are either thieves or bandits!"
"Take them out, beat them up, and hand them over to the county magistrate for punishment!"
"yes!"
As soon as these words came out, the villagers immediately geared up and surrounded him again.
"How dare you?!" Li Er's expression changed and he shouted sternly.
After all, the emperor was so angry that he laid down millions of corpses.
When he became angry, he showed his imperial domineering power and instantly shocked the surrounding Zhuang Ding.
"Huh?!" Su Chen's eyes moved slightly, noticing something extraordinary about Li Er.
"Hey, what am I afraid of?!"
While talking, Su Chen put down the chopsticks in his hand, stood up, glanced at Li Er with a half-smile, and said, "Here, come, hit me!"
Hearing this, Li Er was so angry that smoke arose from his orifices.
Changsun Wuji saw that something was not going well and was the first to speak: "My surname is Sun, and this is my friend, surnamed Li. We are businessmen who came to Chang'an from Jiannan Road to do business. We happened to see the great disaster in Chang'an now, and we were thinking
Spend some money to buy some food and clothing to provide relief!"
After saying that, Changsun Wuji looked at Li Er cautiously.
This action seemed imperceptible, but it was still keenly captured by Su Chen.
"This man in blue robe says he is the other party's friend, but it seems that the person named Li is the one who can really make the decision!" Su Chen had a guess in his mind.
But when he heard that the two of them came from Jiannan Road, his heart moved.
Because he happens to have a task to go to Jiannan Road to sign in!
But in today's world of war and chaos, going to Jiannan Road, which is thousands of miles away from Chang'an, will definitely involve considerable risks.
If he could get to know a few locals from Jiannan Road, it would undoubtedly help him avoid a lot of trouble.
"I guess these two people have a lot of background. They are the worst people in Jiannan Road and they are like local overlords."
"If I can establish a good relationship with them, it will save me a lot of trouble!" Su Chen had already thought of a series of plans in his mind.
"Since you are businessmen from Jiannan Road, why are you making trouble in my village?!" Su Chen asked.
"We were just surprised to see the people on your farm spreading refined salt and slaughtering cattle, so we accidentally caused some misunderstandings. It was very offensive, but we hope there will be more." Changsun Wuji said.
"Well, that's it." Su Chen put down the bowl and chopsticks, wiped his mouth and said.
"Since you two are also people who care about the people's sentiments, it can be regarded as acquaintance without fighting. I will not pursue the previous matter."
"Old Xu, you are a guest. Please bring me two more sets of bowls and chopsticks and go to the vegetable shed to pick some vegetables. I want to do my part as a landlord."
"Yes!" the old housekeeper responded and stepped back.
At the same time, the villagers also retreated after untying Li Er and Changsun Wuji.
"Thank you for the hospitality, little friend."
Changsun Wuji edited it slightly, which meant that he and Su Chen had put aside their old grudges.
Although Li Er on the side had not calmed down yet, he took a chair and sat down at the table without any courtesy.
"What is this?" Looking at the hot pot he had never seen before, Li Er couldn't help but feel curious.
"This is a new way of eating that I have developed, called hot pot."
"Put these ingredients into the hot pot base and cook until cooked. Then add them with my secret dipping sauce. It is simply delicious!"
Su Chen immediately demonstrated how to eat it for the two of them, his face full of intoxication.
Li Shimin was dubious, but he still followed Su Chen's eating method, picked up a piece of beef and put it into the pot, then put it in his mouth with dipping sauce.
"Phew! What a delicacy in the world! Beef can be so delicious!"
Li Shimin took a long breath of hot air. The beef after the hot pot was so delicious that he almost bit his tongue!
Seeing Li Shimin's praise, Changsun Wuji picked up a piece of beef and tasted it.
"this!"
The fresh and tender beef, paired with the fragrant butter chili, gave Changsun Wuji's taste buds an unprecedented experience!
"What is the red thing in this pot? It makes my body feel hot, as if there is a fire burning in my chest!"
Changsun Wuji was also a well-informed person, but he had never tasted such a strange delicacy.
"The thing in the pot is called chili pepper, which is a specialty of our village." Su Chen explained patiently.
"The nature of this thing is Yang, and it is a wonderful thing that can repel cold and generate warmth."
As soon as Su Chen said this, Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji were full of curiosity.
They have lived in Guanzhong for many years and have never heard of such a strange thing as chili peppers, let alone seeing them.
"Master, the food is here."
At this time, the old housekeeper opened the door and walked in with plates of vegetables. Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji glanced at it subconsciously.
This sight immediately stunned them!
What did they see?!
They actually saw all kinds of fresh vegetables!
"My little friend, why is it that in such a cold winter, you still have such fresh vegetables on your farm?!" Changsun Wuji picked up a piece of green vegetables and looked at it carefully, his eyes filled with shock!
"This is all thanks to the greenhouse vegetable shed invented by our young master." Before Su Chen could speak, the old housekeeper took the lead in explaining.
"In the entire Tang Dynasty, only our manor can do this!"
The old housekeeper's words were full of pride.
"It's nothing, it's all trivial."
Su Chen waved his hand casually, picked up the wine bottle on the side, poured a glass for Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji each, and continued eating hot pot.
Li Shimin looked dull, picked up the wine glass, and drank a glass of wine to calm down his shock.
As a result, after drinking it, Li Er's eyes widened immediately, he looked at Su Chen and asked: "This wine...could it be that it comes from your house too?!"
After Su Chen drank a glass of fine wine, he nodded and said, "Well, this wine is indeed brewed in my manor."
Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji looked at each other and saw each other's shock.
As two people, they have naturally tasted this fine wine.
However, this kind of wine has always been priceless in Chang'an City. Even Li Er, as the emperor, cannot drink it freely!
They never imagined that this wine, which is more precious than gold in Chang'an City, actually comes from Su Chen's manor!
For a time, Su Chen became extremely mysterious in their eyes.
After Su Chen's warm hospitality, the relationship between the three of them became much closer. Under the influence of wine, Li Shimin asked Su Chen a question.
