Datang Hotel: The Leisurely Life of a Chef Dad

Today's Chang'an is extremely lively. Li Shimin still doesn't know what stinky tofu tastes like, and he is so excited that he feels like he has discovered a new world.

Ever since Liu Xuan started preparing to write the story of Journey to the West, Li Shimin had been looking forward to this day.

The price of colored glaze is getting lower and lower. In Chang'an, the current lowest price of colored glaze has reached the lowest price. It is similar to the wholesale price of colored glaze before. A hundred cents of colored glaze can be sold for only one dollar. There are still people who are not happy with this. If we are willing to buy it , one hundred coppers is enough, why do you sell it for the same amount of money?

Li Shimin felt refreshed after attending the court meeting today.

"Guanyin Maid, I ask you, if this glass is blessed with Buddhism, how much do you think is appropriate to sell it for?"

Empress Changsun covered her mouth and smiled: "Your Majesty, who are you planning to trick?"

Li Shimin blushed and glanced at Empress Changsun. Then his serious expression was instantly replaced by a playful smile: "Hey, Maid Guanyin, you still understand me."

Empress Changsun sighed helplessly. Li Shimin and her old couple basically guessed the next word when they said one word.

To put it harshly, if you stick your butt up, you will know what to fart.

This is where the tacit understanding between husband and wife lies.

"Your Majesty, isn't this matter of Buddhist blessings a bit too mystical?"

Anyone can imagine that something as illusory as Buddhism is nothing more than a means for politicians to balance power. Whether the so-called Buddhism exists or not is another matter.

In the eyes of Queen Changsun, anything that is not actually touched is nothingness.

This is a true pragmatist.

Li Shimin smiled. He also understood the thoughts of Empress Changsun. If this kind of thing is done well, it will be a huge profit and a good reputation. If it is not done well, it will be a big trouble. She will become the authority of a wealthy noble family. It has been seven years, but the struggle between the imperial power and the wealthy noble families still exists.

Although these small things are few, they add up to a lot.

"What if, I mean what if, this is really the case?"

"Your Majesty, you mean that Buddhism is true?"

Li Shimin shook his head: "Whether Buddhism is true or not is not important, but Master Xuanzang is true, and it is also true that Master Xuanzang went to the West to seek scriptures. So the blessings of Buddhism cannot be false."

It is most difficult to tell the difference between true and false, and between false and true.

Queen Changsun wanted to say something, but she hesitated.

A hint of cold air blew in the wind and came in through the gap in the window of Ganlu Hall. Queen Changsun shivered.

"Your Majesty, it's getting cold."

Li Shimin nodded: "Yes, the weather is getting cold. This winter seems to be more uncomfortable than in previous years."

"Fortunately, I met Liu Xuan in advance. Otherwise, I don't know how many people would have died in the Tang Dynasty this winter."

Queen Changsun nodded. At this moment, there seemed to be a smell floating in the air.

Empress Changsun subconsciously looked at Li Shimin's feet, and then frowned.

"Your Majesty, it's time to wash your feet. It smells like pickled soybean paste..."

Li Shimin was teased by Empress Changsun like this, and he didn't get angry at all. He looked at his feet in a decent manner. Isn't it true that he was wearing boots?

It doesn’t taste good either?

Suddenly, Li Shimin also smelled something coming from the air.

"Mr. Guanyin, this smell doesn't seem to be mine."

"Is that my concubine's?" Queen Changsun blushed.

Li Shimin's face showed a trace of the evil smile he only had when he was young, and he pulled Empress Changsun into his arms: "It's not impossible to have her, I like it."

Empress Changsun blushed even more: "Your Majesty, in broad daylight..."

Suddenly, a loud voice sounded outside the door: "Father, Emperor, Mother, and I have bought some delicious food and are here to pay my respects!"

When this sound came, Li Shimin and Queen Changsun were immediately embarrassed.

Husband and wife have been together for a long time, and many things have no boundaries of embarrassment at all, but as long as they are bumped into by children at certain moments, it will inevitably be awkward for a long time.

Li Shimin's heart suddenly felt prickly. Looking at Empress Changsun's ripe apple-like face, she couldn't even pick it off.

"What's going on with this kid!"

Hearing the resentment in Li Shimin's mouth, Empress Changsun rarely exuded the shyness of a girl: "Your Majesty, this is Chengqian's wish. Don't be angry."

Queen Changsun's comfort was still useful. After all, when Wei Zheng was so angry that Li Shimin wanted to headbutt the weather-beaten pillar of Ganlu Hall, Queen Changsun held her down.

At this time, Li Shimin only felt that Li Chengqian came at the wrong time. Can such a child manage the country of Datang well?

When Li Chengqian came in, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun felt a gust of wind coming over them. This gust of wind was so enchanting that Li Shimin almost retched.

I haven't smelled this kind of smell in the palace for so many years.

Queen Changsun frowned slightly.

Li Chengqian was very excited, his face was still glowing at this moment, his legs and feet were obviously very agile and he had learned how to run.

"Father and Queen, I bought delicious food from the Western Market, specially dedicated to my father and Queen."

Empress Changsun smiled and asked: "Chengqian, what did you buy? This smell..."

Li Shimin interrupted Empress Changsun's words: "Chengqian, delicious snacks can be eccentric, but not evil."

Empress Changsun glanced at Li Shimin with resentment and sighed. Your Majesty is good at everything, but he always likes to interrupt.

"Father, mother, this thing smells bad but tastes delicious!"

Li Shimin was so angry that he suppressed his unhappiness: "Okay, open it and have a look."

When Li Chenggan opened the food box, he did not forget to praise it.

"This stinky tofu is the best snack in the world. I only know the taste after I have tasted it. I think this kind of delicious food cannot be tasted alone. I must bring it back for father and mother to taste together. It is better to share happiness with others than to enjoy it alone."

Li Shimin's face turned green. It's fine if you suffer by yourself, but you bring it back for others to eat with you?

"Chenggan, are you sure this thing is tofu, not something else?"

Li Chenggan has been exercising more these days, his legs and feet are better, and those minor problems before seem to have disappeared. His temperament has also improved, and he is confident.

"Father, this thing is called stinky tofu, it is made of tofu. I have tried it, and it does taste a little bad, but after eating it, it is delicious. This slightly stinky smell also adds a different flavor to the fragrance."

Empress Changsun looked unconvinced, how could there be such a thing in the world?

"How much did you bring back?"

"I brought five."

Leftovers must not be brought over, but stinky tofu is allowed.
