Chapter 984 I would like to appoint you as the weapons inspector... (please subscribe and vote)
Well, as a junior Cheng Chubi, there is no need to harm these elders too much, after all, his own father is here too.
Li Ji shook his head repeatedly in disbelief.
"How on earth does this kid have such a big brain? When he said that, I felt like my scalp was numb."
Cheng Yaojin, his biological father, looked at his Sanlang with a loving look on his face and said happily.
"This kid's mind is full of weird things, but otherwise, he wouldn't be able to come up with these good things."
"I have to admit that these ideas of your Saburo are indeed refreshing. If this matter is not left to him but to others."
"I'm really worried that those officials who stick to the rules too much may not understand your Saburo's thoughts at all."
After Li Shimin pondered for a long time, he finally made a decision.
"Cheng Sanlang, since you made this gunpowder, I have to entrust you with an important task."
"I ask for your Majesty's instructions." Cheng Chubi quickly bowed respectfully and sat upright with his chest raised and his abdomen drawn in.
"I remember that there are only two workshops under the Ordnance Supervision, one is the Nufang Department and the other is the Jiafang Department. The Ordnance Supervision has one prison and one chief."
"There is no Young Supervisor yet. I would like to appoint you as the Young Superintendent of the Ordnance Supervision. I also want to set up another department in the Ordnance Supervision, which is the Gunpowder Department."
"Just try out the grenades and landmines you mentioned and make samples first, and wait for me to personally test them and pass them."
"If you do it well, I will reward you greatly. If you do it badly, I will remove your weapons supervisor and leave it to others."
Hearing this, Cheng Chubi couldn't help but feel overjoyed, and quickly pushed up the Jinshan Jade Pillar to salute the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. I will definitely be able to achieve results and will definitely live up to your Majesty's high expectations."
Li Shimin walked up to Cheng Chubi and helped the proud and beaming Cheng Sanlang up.
His expression seemed so serious and serious.
"But, I have already fined you your salary for next year and the year before last. Of course, the salary of the Military Superintendent is also included."
#####
Hearing this, there was another mute sound in the hall, and even his own father, Cheng Yaojin, was so happy that he fell down.
Cheng Sanlang had a dark look on his face, could this be his biological father?
When Li Shimin saw Cheng Chubi's face, which was as black as the color of a pot, he finally felt a little relieved and at ease in his heart.
If you let your boy mess with my square bamboo, if I don't retaliate against you, how can I think clearly?
However, Li Shimin, who was kind to others, patted Cheng Chubi on the shoulder and spoke sincerely.
"As long as your nephew can make great achievements, the reward I will give you must be solid. It will definitely be far above your three salaries. Do you understand?"
What else could Cheng Chubi say? No matter what, although I can’t get a salary, there are rewards at least?
But when he heard the word solid, Cheng Chubi thought of the cars parked in front of his house some time ago.
There are also those messy New Year gifts. This time, if His Majesty, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who has no moral ethics, comes with such rewards again, what can he do?
Sleep and roll on piles of rice, or mix all the millet with arsenic and become the largest wholesaler of rat medicine in the Tang Dynasty?
Or soak in a sucrose pool and drink saline as a drink?
Thinking of this, Cheng Chubi touched his nose and carefully made his suggestion.
"Uncle, can the reward this time be some money instead of rice?"
"Look at you kid, you said you were so hungry that you almost drank the northwest wind. You are still not happy that I am thinking about you?"
Cheng Chubi, with a dark look on his face, could only say dejectedly that it was his fault, but fortunately, after Li Shimin felt relieved, he could not continue to embarrass this junior again.
When Cheng Yaojin saw that the business was done, he patted his son's shoulder lovingly.
"Your Majesty, the wild boar that my third son hunted today, our old Cheng family just took this opportunity to hold a family banquet.
I wonder if Your Majesty has any free time, Lao Cheng respectfully respects Your Majesty..."
Although Li Shimin was a little moved, he thought that he had to discuss with his ministers as soon as possible and set up a gunpowder department. He was very busy with these things.
In addition, wild boars are more fishy than ordinary domestic pigs. Are they really edible?
For safety reasons, Li Shimin smiled helplessly and waved his hand.
"That's all, you can just go today, I have other important matters.
But tomorrow is a holiday. If the wild boar meat tastes good, let your Sanlang come over tomorrow to deliver snacks to Jin Yang and the Supreme Emperor.
Bring some here by the way so that I can have a taste."
After hearing this, everyone saluted and greeted His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Jing was not willing to go, but the problem was that the people around him were joking and pulling.
Li Jing had no choice but to sneak into the large group attending the Cheng family banquet.
Naturally, General Chai also wanted to join in the fun. After all, Cheng Sanlang's cooking skills had long been spread among the elite circles of the Tang Dynasty.
No matter what ingredient it is, in the hands of a boy like Cheng Sanlang, it can turn decay into something magical.
Cheng Chubi and Li Ke huddled at the back, and Li Ke looked at this group of elders with a troubled expression who had never practiced martial ethics and took pleasure in bullying their juniors at the wine table.
Should we go or not? Wild boar meat was something Li Ke had been curious about since he was a child. He tasted it and almost made the well-dressed and well-fed prince vomit.
However, after hearing Brother Chu Bi's chest-beating assurance, coupled with Brother Chu Bi's excellent cooking skills, he really couldn't put down the delicious food in his mouth.
"Brother Xian, what's that expression on your face? Hurry up and get out of the palace. Let's go first. Don't stay with these elders. It's too stressful."
"Oh, I understand, little brother, that's all. Just for a bite of food, even if I have to lie down at your house for a night, it's worth it."

Cheng Chubi and Li Ke took the lead. After returning to the mansion, they greeted a group of friends who were arriving one after another, and then rushed to the kitchen.
At this moment, the wild boar meat has completed the preliminary processing, and when you put it under your nose to smell it, you can no longer smell any fishy smell.
Cheng Chubi began to heat the oil in the pot, add the ingredients, poured the pork in and stir-fried it, added water, then picked up half a bottle of the hotel's essence and poured it all in.
The other large pot on the stove was cooked in the same manner. At this time, the first large pot had begun to boil.
The wild boar's internal organs were also marinated directly after being processed, but the pig's large intestine was left to be processed and marinated before being put into the pot.
One big pot is for stewing, and the other one is for drying.
The stew continued to simmer and bubble, and the wild boar in the pot next to it had been simmering for a period of time.
Because this is a big wild boar, it must be braised long enough until Cheng Chubi confirms that the chopsticks can pierce the thick wild boar skin.
Then fish out all the wild boar meat, pour the oil again, and prepare various spices...
