Cheng Chubi's footsteps just crossed the threshold of the tea shop, and he was not happy to hear these words.
"You think I'm stupid, why did your father let us leave first? I wonder if your father is watching us both from the window."
"What if we really can't wait and just go for a walk? Believe it or not, we may not be able to get our salary next year or the year after next?"
"Brother Chu Bi, you are really... well, let's go, I want to go to the Imperial Medical Office to see those acupuncture men."
Li Ke immediately burst into laughter. He raised his head while speaking, and the smile that originally appeared on his face turned stiff.
Cheng Chubi looked very serious when he heard the second half of Li Ke's sentence, and raised his eyelids subconsciously.
Sure enough, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and his wife, dressed in epic equipment, were standing in front of the window, looking at themselves with smiles.
Although he smiled kindly, Cheng Chubi felt that underneath this hypocritical smile, there must be a sinister plot.
He quickly nodded and bowed his head to signal to these two untouchable people, and quickly rushed towards the Imperial Medical Office in a dejected manner, with a hasty pace like a defeated general.
Li Shimin, on the other hand, straightened his long beard with a scheming look and smiled proudly at the strange-looking Empress Changsun next to him.
"Did you see that I said that these two bastards, none of them are sure to cause trouble... It's just as I expected."
Empress Changsun shook her head in confusion. "Husband, has Cheng Sanlang really only received a salary of five copper coins since he became an official?"
Seeing the look from Guanyin Maid, Li Shimin said somewhat unhappily.
"That's not the fault of this kid himself. He makes trouble all the time."
"He and his father are almost modeled after each other. Well, apart from his appearance, his ability to cause trouble is no less than his father's."
"Well, husband, I didn't say anything. I just heard a saying that extraordinary people do extraordinary things. If Cheng Sanlang hadn't done this, I'm afraid he wouldn't have achieved what he has today."
"What Guanyin said makes sense, alas... a good method of making salt, a good thing that benefits the country and the people.
This guy actually thought of buying bitter salt to make snowflake salt just to save money."
"There is also the method of raising castrated pigs. In order to prevent the pigs from causing trouble, they actually gave the pigs...ahem, forget it, let's not talk about this guy anymore."
Empress Changsun Wu nodded gently and rested her forehead on Li Shimin's shoulder.
"What my husband said is true, and I also understand that although my husband calls me a bastard on the left and a brat on the right, in my heart, I actually quite approve of this son."
"The one who knows me is Guanyin, the maid..." Li Shimin raised his hand and patted the back of his wife's hand, and said leisurely.
"This boy is a lucky star given to me by God. However, he is also a troublemaker who makes people have headaches."
"I believe in your Majesty's ability..." Empress Changsun smiled sweetly and said in a low voice.
"Haha, that's natural. Come on, my husband will take you for a walk. We are husband and wife, but we haven't been this comfortable for a long time."
Li Ke, after sneaking into the Imperial Medical Office, strolled around the Acupuncture Department, and then sneaked to the entrance of the Department of Medicine.
After getting the news that his father and mother had really left, this guy couldn't wait to say goodbye to Cheng Chubi.
Cheng Chubi asked this guy where he was going, but Li Ke just smiled and looked around at him.
Needless to say, this crooked His Highness the King of Wu might have wanted to do some very crooked things.
Cheng Chubi could only look at the dandy's example and get on his horse with great pride.
"As a virtuous brother, you must not forget about business." Cheng Chubi couldn't help but remind him.
Li Ke chuckled, patted his thin chest, and said with high spirits.
"Don't worry. I'll leave the matter of the brother from the Chai family to my younger brother. If you have any news, I'll send someone to your house."
Seeing the back of this outstanding royal toolman and socialite fading away, Cheng Chubi ran back with satisfaction.
#####
At noon, Cheng Chubi once again led two loyal servants out of the Imperial Medical Office.
Then he walked around the restaurants and finally gave up his already empty stomach to the grilled lamb chops.
When the barbarian stall owner who claimed to be from Constantinople saw that the Cheng official came to support him again, he quickly threw away the cattail leaf fan in his hand and entertained the guests himself.
Cheng Chubi stepped into the stall and gave direct instructions to the barbarian stall owner.
"Lao Hu, the old rules are, two large pieces of lamb chops, thirty skewers of mutton, more fat, a few heads of garlic, and five kilograms of stuffed grapes."
"Okay, Mr. Cheng, please wait a moment, I will bake it for you myself..."
This foreigner who claimed to be a noble of Constantinople rushed over there and started to operate.
After all, he is the boss, and his talents must be higher than those of his underlings. Cheng Chubi, who has been here many times, can be sure of this.
While sipping the wine and waiting, Cheng Chubi was attracted by a small green plant and couldn't help but walk forward.
He saw a small porcelain vase placed on the small table in front of the low couch where Lao Hu was sitting, with a plant with very small leaves sticking out diagonally from it.
"Rosemary?" Cheng Chubi muttered with some uncertainty, then took the small porcelain bottle in his hand and examined it carefully.
Over there, Lao Hu, who was grilling skewers in full swing, saw Cheng Guanren staring blankly at the small porcelain vase and couldn't help but feel happy.
"What's wrong with Mr. Cheng?"
"Where did you get this?" Cheng Chubi shook the small porcelain bottle towards Lao Hu with a serious expression.
"This thing was picked by a villain outside the city. It is ground pepper, also called mountain pepper..." Lao Hu quickly explained.
"This thing is a kind of spice in the country where the villain lives, but no one seems to use it in the Tang Dynasty. It can also be found in the wild fields outside Chang'an City."
"Ground pepper, mountain pepper?" Cheng Chubi was really confused now. "Okay...you mean it's available outside the city, right?"
"That's right, I just think that this thing is common in my hometown, and I can actually see it here in Chang'an City, so I feel very kind."
Cheng Chubi laughed and looked at this very dishonest old man, and said calmly.
"I'm afraid it's not just because it is a product of your hometown. Cheng knows very well that the aroma of this thing is very rich and special, and it is very suitable for cooking meat products."
After hearing what Cheng Chubi said, Lao Hu quickly delivered the thirty skewers of roasted mutton skewers and quickly raised his hands to Cheng Chubi.
"Official Cheng is wise, and he also asked Official Cheng to give the villain a way out. The villain's roasted meat is different from others because of this."
Cheng Chubi glared at Lao Hu unhappily, poked the rosemary with his finger and said, "What a big deal, can I still steal your job?"
"I'm just curious as to why this gadget appeared in your place."
