In fact, Changsun Wuji's real purpose was to ask for the fireworks formula.
He is different from Cheng Yaojin. He comes from a noble family and his family has been in business for generations.
When he saw the fireworks, he knew that this thing could definitely make money, and it could also make a lot of money.
In fact, even if he didn't ask Li Chengqian, he could find a top-notch craftsman to figure out the production method in a few days.
But Li Chengqian was his nephew after all, and he didn't want to steal his nephew's things.
If this nephew ascends to the throne in the future, he is afraid that he will be in trouble.
Rather than doing this, it would be better to do business with him and treat him as his uncle's helper to his poor nephew.
"Since uncle has spoken, there is no problem."
Li Chengqian didn't even hesitate and nodded directly.
After all, the reason why he studied this thing in the first place was to make money, but he never implemented it because of his young age and Li Shimin's disapproval.
Now that Changsun Wuji is helping him stand out, he really wants it.
But Li Chengqian also secretly admired his cheap uncle.
Cheng Yaojin only wanted to take advantage, but after seeing the fireworks, he could think of doing business.
The number one Lao Yin in the Tang Dynasty...
Um……
Smart man, he really deserves his reputation...
"When I get back, I will record the recipe for fireworks and send them to my uncle's house."
"In that case, I'll leave first."
…
After sending away several old gangsters, Li Chengqian felt very helpless.
Being robbed one after another, my young mind suffered huge trauma and was in urgent need of a delicious meal to replenish it.
By chance, Li Chongyi came to the door.
Li Chongyi sneakily walked up to Li Chengqian with two jars of wine in his arms and said, "Don't tell me, cousin, that I'm fooling you. These two jars of wine are the best in my old man's wine library. He is usually reluctant to drink them." .”
After saying that, he added: "Just the fish you cooked for me last time, and another one. We won't get home until we get drunk today."
Although the Tang Dynasty was powerful, its cooking skills were really backward.
Therefore, while Li Chengqian disliked the lack of entertainment projects in this era, he also particularly disliked the food of this era.
So, after he became an independent man, he trained a young eunuch by himself and made meals for him every day.
After Li Chongyi ate it by chance, he set his sights on Li Chengqian.
"Damn it, are you here to get some food again?"
Li Chengqian looked helpless.
Although the food at home is delicious, I don’t come here every two days to enjoy it.
Didn't he know that Li Shimin was an extremely thrifty emperor?
The pocket money of a prince like himself is not even as good as that of a prince of a feudal lord, okay?
But there is something that makes Li Chengqian happy. Unlike those old gangsters, Li Chongyi at least knows how to bring something for himself.
In desperation, Li Chengqian could only choose to accept it.
Then he ordered the kitchen to go down and cook.
"Brother, we are here to see you!"
Just as Li Chengqian and Li Chongyi were chatting in the side room and waiting for the meal to be served, several small figures came into view.
These people are none other than Han Wang Li Ke, Wei Wang Li Tai, and Changle Princess Li Lizhi.
After calling "big brother", several people jumped into the yard.
Li Lizhi didn't even look like a princess at all, and pounced directly on Li Chengqian.
This guy has been favored by Li Shimin since he was a child, and he is definitely the most favored among Taizong's children.
Li Chengqian was also single because he had no sisters in his previous life, so he liked this little sister very much.
So when this guy was in front of Li Chengqian, he simply let himself go.
Li Chengqian rubbed Li Lizhi's head, put her on the ground, then looked at the crowd and said, "Why are you here coming to me if you don't stay in the palace?"
"Of course I'm here to see big brother."
"Why, aren't you welcome, brother?"
Li Lizhi's expression was filled with resentment, and she said with a sweet voice: "Father is the most partial. My eldest brother can have such a big courtyard outside, but we can only live in the palace."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian felt dumbfounded.
Wouldn't it be nice to live in the palace?
There are countless people in the world who want to live there but have not had the chance.
Li Chengqian shook his head helplessly. Just when he was about to speak, Li Lizhi suddenly said: "Ah, what does this smell like? Why does it smell so good?"
"That's right, I'm drooling."
The chubby little Li Tai also echoed: "Brother, what delicious food are you doing?"
Okay, here comes another group of freeloaders.
Li Chengqian said helplessly: "Okay, don't ask, just stay and eat for a while. I just finished eating, so I can take some back to my father, the emperor and my mother when I go back."
"Thank you, brother!"
Although these people present are all princes and princesses who have been crowned kings and princesses, the food they eat on weekdays are not all delicacies from the mountains and seas.
Of course, all this mainly stems from their superior Lao Tzu, who determined to be a sage, wise and benevolent king on the first day he ascended the throne, so he lived frugally with his wife and children.
There is evidence in history that these princes in the early Tang Dynasty were the poorest among the princes in all dynasties.
It's no wonder that Li Lizhi said that Comrade Li Er was partial, mainly because the lives of these people were really not as comfortable as Li Chengqian's living outside the palace.
At this time, Xiao Chuzi came over and reported: "Your Highness, the banquet has been prepared. Should it be placed in the main hall or here?"
"The main hall, where else can it be more spacious?"
After saying that, Li Chengqian also stood up and walked toward the main hall with his younger brothers, sisters, and Li Chongyi, who had been hungry and thirsty for a long time.
When we arrived at the adult hall, the round table had been set and the food had been served.
"What kind of fish is this? Why is it so fragrant..."
Looking at the large bowl of fish placed in the middle of the big table, the children of Li Tai, Li Ke and Li Lizhi were so greedy that they drooled out.
"How's it going? Does it smell good?"
"This dish is called catfish stewed with eggplant. Only the cooks here in Gaoming can make it, not even the royal chef in the palace."
Li Chongyi looked like he had seen the world before, which was really funny.
Moreover, Li Chongyi didn't regard himself as an outsider. After sitting down, he started to feast.
Li Chengqian glanced at the little guys around him: "If you don't do anything, this guy will eat the fish."
After hearing this, several people took action without delay.
Stewed with fresh catfish and eggplant, the fish and eggplant are mixed together to make the catfish fat but not greasy, the eggplant is fresh and fragrant, and the meat and vegetables complement each other.
The eggplant has the aroma of catfish, and the catfish has the taste of eggplant.
It can be served with wine or food.
People in later generations will eat all kinds of delicacies from all over the world, and they will not be able to resist this dish, let alone in an era where cooking skills are extremely backward.
After eating a few chopsticks, Li Chongyi suddenly felt satisfied. He opened the wine jar and asked Xiao Chuzi to take the wine cup for him. While pouring the wine, he said: "This is a good wine collected by my old man. It is rich and mellow, and it is not overpowering. Who of you are going to drink it today?" We are not allowed to leave either, we will not return until we are drunk."
"You won't come home until you're drunk..."
After hearing Li Chongyi's words, the muscles on Li Chengqian's face trembled twice: "Well, cousin..."
"What's wrong?"
"That is, what do you think will happen if my father finds out that you took the four of us to drink?"
