Datang Hotel: The Leisurely Life of a Chef Dad

In the inner room, Li Shimin looked at Wei Zheng with a somewhat unhappy face.

"Old Wei, what's wrong with you? I remember that longevity lock was the gift I gave to Wei Shuyu when he was born. How did it end up with you?"

Wei Zheng looked at Li Shimin with a smile and was not in a hurry. It was a taboo to sell the things given by the emperor.

But who is Wei Zheng? A contestant of the Hall of Fame of the Tang Dynasty Court Debate Competition, a legendary contestant who could make Li Shimin's mouth crooked, had already prepared the answer.

"Your Majesty, how can I keep the gift you gave me when you were the King of Qin?"

"At that time, I hadn't followed you yet."

"Wei Zheng knows that he is in the wrong. Today, he took out the longevity lock and threw it away. This is to draw a clear line with the past. Wei Zheng was loved by you, but he didn't know how to promote him. He was clearly protected by you, but after you ascended the throne, he repeatedly offended the emperor..."

"It's really wrong."

"Your Majesty, I exchanged the longevity lock and many other things your Majesty gave me for money and spent them. This is to tell your Majesty that I am different from the past!"

Li Shimin looked at Wei Zheng and listened to what Wei Zheng said, and he remembered the bad idea that Wei Zheng gave Li Jiancheng at that time.

After returning from the war, Li Shimin went to the Hongmen Banquet excitedly. After returning, he vomited a basin of blood and almost couldn't breathe.

Li Shimin knew that it was Wei Zheng who came up with this matter, but Li Shimin didn't blame Wei Zheng.

It's not that Li Shimin didn't hate Wei Zheng. The main reason was that when he ascended the throne, he was not legitimate in the eyes of the world. The existence of Wei Zheng, a censor, just showed the benevolence of me, Li Shimin.

Li Shimin sighed: "Do you mean you sold all the things I gave you?"

Wei Zheng nodded.

There was no way. If he didn't sell them, his money would not be enough to eat at the Tang Dynasty Restaurant every two days.

A meal starts at least one guan of money. The consumption here is really terrible.

If I, Wei Zheng, eat too much of the bland soup, I will be at the end of the road.

Your Majesty, you don't understand. I, Wei Zheng, know in my heart that people can't fall into the same pit twice, and can't set foot on the old path!

"Well, Wei Zheng, I won't mention the past."

"Your child is also ten years old, right?"

Wei Zheng nodded: "Eleven years old."

"When the child is fourteen or fifteen years old, I will promise you a marriage."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

At this time, the door opened.

Da Zhuang's head came in, holding a huge basin in his hand, which was full of boiled fish.

Wei Zheng was stunned, his nose twitching, like a hound that smelled something tempting.

"What is this dish?"

"Boiled fish, uncle..." Da Zhuang's silly voice always makes people laugh.

"What about this one?"

"Tomato scrambled eggs..."

"I see!" Wei Zheng stroked his beard, "Master, please go first!"

Da Zhuang's silly voice sounded: "Originally, a plate is not so big, the young master asked me to eat with you, so I added one more. Look at the mapo tofu in this plate, doesn't it look like a small mountain."

Da Zhuang was asking for credit from Li Shimin, and Li Shimin looked at Da Zhuang with a smile, and the more he looked, the happier he became.

Whether it was Yaya or Da Zhuang, they seemed to be natural existences. In their eyes, there was no status, no emperor and people, only real and vivid people.

"Where's Yaya?"

"Yaya, get the Roujiamo..."

At this time, in the main hall, Liu Renyuan and Xue Rengui both looked resentful.

"My Lord, Dazhuang took a portion from me, and there's not enough for the two of us."

"Look at Xue Rengui, is he eating? One mouthful of rice, can he taste it?"

Liu Renyuan was anxious, mainly because he hadn't moved much, and the food was almost gone.

Xue Rengui glanced at Liu Renyuan, and silently put a chopstick of egg in Liu Renyuan's rice: "Eat, Lao Liu, it's so delicious, my Lord's cooking is unparalleled in the world!"

Liu Renyuan rolled his eyes. The Lord's cooking is unparalleled in the world. Who in Chang'an doesn't know this? Do you need me to tell you?

No, go slower! Leave some for me!

"Don't touch my Roujiamo!" Liu Renyuan was anxious.

In the room, Da Zhuang was eating in silence. Li Shimin and Wei Zheng watched Da Zhuang eating. Suddenly, they felt that as long as Da Zhuang ate, no matter how hard it was to swallow, it would taste delicious.

It looked delicious!

"Brother Da Zhuang, the Roujiamo is here!"

Liu Xuan brought Yaya, who was holding a big basket excitedly.

When he saw the neatly arranged cakes in the basket and the meat looming in the middle of the cakes, Li Shimin couldn't hold it back for a moment.

"Old Wei, listen to me, pay the money, pay more!"

"If you miss this village, there will be no such store."

"I think you don't want your wife to not have Roujiamo, right?"

Under Li Shimin's "persuasion", Wei Zheng reluctantly took out a small piece of gold and put it on the table.

Liu Xuan frowned and looked at the two of them without saying a word.

You want to eat Roujiamo with this little money?

Yaya placed the roujiamo in front of Dazhuang, and each of them took one and took a bite.

Crack...

The sesame cake was made with a special technique, with a crispy outer skin and soft and tender inside. When you bite it, the crispy outer skin with a little bit of brown fragrance falls off instantly.

Da Zhuang reached out his hand, caught the crumbs, tilted his head back, poured them into his mouth, and chewed them with the meat in his mouth, not wanting to waste any of them.

The juice flowed along the cracks of the golden cake, as if it would overflow at any time, and it seemed to be absorbed by the cake.

Li Shimin trembled all over, and his index finger moved.

"Second brother, I'll do it!"

Li Shimin immediately took out a gold ingot.

Liu Xuan took a look at the two of them and put away the gold: "What's going on, what's the situation?"

"You are one of us, why do you still pay?"

Wei Zheng was stunned. No, Liu Xuan, you mean you can eat without paying?

"Brother, you don't want money today?"

Liu Xuan sighed: "Hey, forget it, I'll give you a discount next time, but forget it this time. Money collected and water poured out, how can it be returned the same way, right?"

Li Shimin and Wei Zheng looked at each other, and the monarch and the minister seemed to have reached a consensus, and then each of them picked up a meat bun.

Crunch...

Mmmmm...

Slurp...

For a while, the sounds of biting sesame cakes, sucking juice, chewing, smacking lips, and Wei Zheng's taste buds being amazed by the green peppers and garlic inside were heard.

Liu Xuan smiled and touched Yaya's head: "Yaya, look at the way they eat, what do they look like?"

Yaya had a roujiamo in her mouth that she hadn't swallowed yet, and thought for a while: "Aye, they look like the dogs in our family before."
