Datang Hotel: The Leisurely Life of a Chef Dad

Li Shimin was extremely calm, as if these things were just like eating and drinking.

Only Li Jing knew that this constraint could only be achieved by being extremely strict from top to bottom.

"This coal is indeed a good thing."

"If you want to call it coal, coal is no longer coal when it comes out. After some processes, it has become coal." Li Shimin was very proud, "Pharmacist, you were very careful in the past few years, and I don't want to say much. I know Hongfu. After you go back, install this stove at home, and don't let Hongfu have any problems in winter."

Li Jing nodded: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Hongfu was ill, and she would frequently flare up in winter. Some people said it was because of the cold, and some said it was because of the reflection of the white snow in winter, and Hongfu's hysteria was complicated. There were many different opinions.

"This glass, you keep it well. If you want to exchange it for some money, do it as soon as possible."

Li Shimin stroked his beard, very calm.

Li Jing's mind was completely in thought, and he finally understood one thing. ✺✲

Your Majesty today cannot become Liu Bang. All the emperors in the world, all the emperors in the past dynasties, will be wary of the ministers who hold military power.

But the problem is that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are most obedient to those ministers who hold military power.

What is he, Li Jing? In front of the King of Qin, Li Jing is just an ordinary person.

Those people back then, from top to bottom, who doesn't know the name of the King of Qin?

God of War? There is only one, that is the current emperor.

If you think about it, you will understand it naturally.

Li Jing immediately asked: "Your Majesty, I don't quite understand one thing, please give me some advice."

Li Shimin waved his hand: "You and I are brothers, why are you so polite."

Li Shimin said this, that is to get close, Li Jing can't take it seriously, what should be done.

"Your Majesty, I heard before that Your Majesty conferred a sixteen-year-old boy named Liu Xuan. Is this person related to this coal?"

Li Jing is a smart man and saw the problem at a glance.

Li Shimin immediately jumped up excitedly, so happy.

After so many years, Li Jing still understands our old Li.

They are all surnamed Li, look at Li Jing, and then look...

Well, let's not talk about it.

"Pharmacist, you really understand me."

"Liu Xuan is indifferent to fame and fortune, and has unparalleled wit. When I was sighing in his Tang Dynasty Restaurant, Liu Xuan didn't even look at me, and just said: What's so difficult about this!"

"I felt like the clouds were cleared and the sun was shining. I don't know why, but I just felt that Liu Xuan would not lie to me."

"After asking carefully, this coal method just appeared. Now the people of Tang Dynasty can use coal to survive the winter, and Liu Xuan has made an indispensable contribution."

Li Jing's heart beat violently, as expected.

If there is no great achievement, how can a commoner become the Marquis of Lantian in Tang Dynasty?

Lantian is different from other places.

Other princes and ministers also have their own fiefs, but the problem is that their fiefs are very far away, unlike Lantian, which is only a dozen miles away and is almost a neighbor of Chang'an.

His Majesty seems to value Liu Xuan very much, and gave him such a good place.

"Your Majesty, you just said that the Datang Restaurant..." Li Jing pondered for a moment, "This Datang Restaurant is the Datang Restaurant that has been making a lot of noise in Chang'an recently?"

Li Shimin nodded: "Yes, pharmacist, you haven't been there yet, right?"

"If you plan to go, you have to line up in advance tomorrow and go there before dawn. There are a lot of people there. Liu Xuan, this kid, is now the Marquis of Lantian, and he still thinks about cooking all day. But you have to say, Liu Xuan's cooking skills are really amazing."

Li Jing noticed that Li Shimin seemed to move his throat a few times while speaking.

Li Jing sighed, the nobles of the Datang Dynasty all have family backgrounds.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing and others have been favored by the emperor. Both the emperor and the current emperor have given them many things.

In addition to the salary and food, it is only in recent years that they have become rich and extravagant. In the past, they were quite tight.

After all, this is Chang'an.

Thinking of this, Li Jing sighed: "This Lantian Marquis has gone from a commoner to a prince. I'm afraid that his family has a lot of food and clothing expenses at one time, and he hasn't adapted to it yet."

"As the Lantian Marquis, he also has to take care of the Tang Dynasty Hotel. It's really hard work."

"Your Majesty, I am willing to give this Flying Eagle Glass to the Lantian Marquis."

Liu Xuan in Li Jing's heart is a young man who has suffered a lot. When the young man first became a prince, the expenses in the Marquis's mansion were extremely exaggerated. The young man was used to a hard life, so naturally he couldn't adapt all of a sudden, and could only deal with it with hard work.

However, in about a year, he changed.

Li Shimin frowned when he heard Li Jing's words: "Pharmacist, you are not sick, right?"

Li Jing was stunned for a moment: "Your Majesty, where does this come from?"

"Pharmacist, you can keep that thing for yourself, or exchange it for money. Liu Xuan is a good money-maker."

Li Shimin stroked his beard: "Do you know how much money an ordinary restaurant can make in a year?"

Although Li Jing has no business experience, he has also seen the world. There are countless restaurants in Chang'an.

According to the description of the servant, the Datang Hotel is nothing more than a small restaurant.

"Your Majesty, can this Datang Hotel make a hundred strings of cash a year?"

A hundred strings of cash is actually the annual salary of a top official in the Datang Dynasty. Of course, it does not include other things, just money.

If the restaurant only has this kind of income, you will starve to death in Chang'an.

"Pharmacist, you are too narrow-minded."

"Don't think that Liu Xuan opened the restaurant and cooked for himself because he has no money."

"He only serves a few hundred coins for each dish. He only entertains a hundred guests every day, and each guest has to spend at least one or two coins for a meal."

Li Jing sucked in a breath of cold air when he heard this, and his eyes widened, and they were even filled with red.

You say this is envy?

Who the hell is not envious!

You earn the money that others earn in a day in a day, the world is unfair.

"But the food in the Datang Restaurant is unique in the world, pharmacist, you have to taste it carefully. Didn't Qin Shubao always get sick before? He went there to eat every day, and now you can see it."

Li Jing was even more surprised. Qin Shubao's anemia before was something that even Dr. Sun said could not be cured.

Eating at the Datang Restaurant will make him better?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

"Your Majesty, this is a little unlikely, isn't it?"

Li Shimin immediately stiffened his neck: "Would I lie to you?"

"Go ask Qin Shubao yourself."

Li Jing was speechless. It's impossible to lie.

Except when the two met for the first time, Your Majesty at that time, at a young age, deceived himself into a path that could not be turned back.
