He saw that among the people watching, there were indeed a few half-year-old children.
They were all looking at the iron pot, sweating like crazy...
Li Shimin stepped forward to take a look——
What he saw boiling in the iron pot was the same as the locusts he had just swallowed alive!
The only difference is that, over repeated frying in rapeseed oil, the locusts in the pot are golden and translucent.
But with that splayed figure, Li Er really had some psychological shadow.
For a moment, he hesitated.
"Father, my son has already tried it. The fried locusts are really delicious!"
Li Chengqian shouted,
"If you don't believe it, I'll eat one on the spot and show it to you!"
As he spoke, he wiped the saliva from his mouth and stepped forward quickly.
"Brother, I've heard everything you're thinking!"
Li Tai said hurriedly,
"My brother just ate a whole meal and he's still hungry! Let him eat first!"
"Let me go!"
The two brothers had a disagreement and got into a fight over a locust!
This made the onlookers, both the common people and the ministers, feel a little surprised.
This harmful thing smells quite fragrant...could it really be that delicious?
"Ahem, stop making trouble, let me try it!"
The more Li Shimin smelled it, the more fragrant it became. At this moment, his hunger had overcome everything!
He waved his hand to stop the two children, looked up at Xu Fenglei, and said with some embarrassment,
"Listen clearly, try to get it for me."
Just now he was scolded without explanation and even had the stall demolished.
Now he stepped forward to request,
This made his old face a little confused.
"oh?"
Xu Fenglei twitched his chin and said in surprise,
"Your Majesty, do you want to eat?"
"Aren't you going to expose Chen's stall?"
Li Shimin: "..."
"Hurry up!" he glared.
This kid is still yin and yang!
Do you still want me to subdue your boy in front of all the people?
"Excuse me."
Xu Fenglei took a board from behind and stood it in front of him with a clang.
I saw a few big words written on the board:
Fried locusts, salmon each.
Don't be deceived, please refuse any counteroffer!
"Your Majesty, a foreigner comes to buy one for three cents!"
He smiled and said,
"Please pay first!"
Li Shimin: "???"
"Do I have to pay too?" he said, somewhat dumbfounded.
"Of course you have to pay! We are open for business, don't we have to worry about costs?"
Xu Fenglei raised his fingers seriously and said,
"Look, I'll do the math for you!"
"Does this iron pot cost money? Does this firewood cost money?"
"The biggest issue is still the rapeseed oil. Do you know how much a pot full of rapeseed oil costs?"
"We are not doing charity, we have to earn back this!"
"Anyone who wants to eat has to pay! Even if you are the emperor, there is no exception. Of course, except for a few helpers in our family, they have contributed and can eat as much as they want."
When they heard this, the eyes of the little kids suddenly lit up.
Unlimited tasting? Great!
"you!"
Li Shimin pointed at Xu Fenglei and was furious.
This guy has made an incredible amount of money by opening Fenglei Bank, but he still cares about these three melons and two dates?
This is deliberately embarrassing yourself!
But think about it, that board was obviously prepared long ago and was not aimed at him...
"...Okay, okay, I've convinced you."
Li Shimin pointed to the ministers beside him and said helplessly,
"Who has money on him? Give me three coins and I will return it to him when I return to the palace!"
A majestic emperor, how can you bring money with you when you go out?
Therefore, his pockets were cleaner than his face at the moment and he couldn't even take out three pennies.
"Your Majesty, I have a piece of silver in my hand."
Hou Junji hurriedly offered the silver as if offering treasures, and said with a smile,
"Please use it as you please without giving it back."
Li Shimin snorted softly, thinking to himself, am I the kind of person who takes advantage of you?
Ignoring Hou Junji, he handed the silver to Xu Fenglei and said:
"One ingot of silver is enough to buy you thousands of locusts!"
"take it."
However, Xu Fenglei fiddled with the locusts in the oil pan and shook his head.
"I'm sorry, I can't find it." He said with a smile, "It's a small business and I can't afford such a big sum of money."
Li Shimin: "@#￥%...&*@!!!"
"Then I owe you three cents first, okay? I'll give it to you when I get back to the palace!"
He glared.
"Your Majesty, I don't owe credit for this small business..."
Xu Fenglei smiled, still looking like he wanted to be beaten.
Who told you to scold me just now?
As disgusting as it is for you, you won’t beat me up in public anyway.
By the way, I also set an example for merchants all over the world - it is not easy to run a small business, and even if the emperor comes, no credit is allowed!
Who dares to borrow money and who dares to default on it? Is he bigger than the emperor?
"Xu, Feng, Lei!"
Li Shimin's eyes were about to burst into flames as he spoke word by word.
"Your Majesty, I have copper coins here. I have..."
Fang Xuanling stepped forward quickly, took out three Kaiyuan Tongbao with body temperature from his arms, handed them to Xu Fenglei's hand, and said,
"Young Master, Young Master..."
"Stop making trouble and get your Majesty a locust quickly!"
Xu Fenglei laughed and nodded decisively.
The emperor can tease, but there must be a limit. That's about it now. It would be rude to continue making trouble.
Swish.
He quickly took out a bamboo stick, pierced it into the locust's body, leaned against the iron pan to drain the oil from it, and then placed it on the wooden board.
"Do you want spicy food?"
Xu Fenglei immersed himself in spreading salt and asked casually.
"Huh? Uh..."
Li Shimin was slightly startled, and two words popped out of his mouth:
"Don't eat."
"It's good. Eating too much spicy food can easily lead to hemorrhoids. And there are no chili peppers at the moment, only dogwood." Xu Fenglei smiled, sprinkled a thin layer of spices on the locusts, raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, please use it. !”
Li Shimin took the oily, golden locust and was speechless for a moment.
Just now, he swallowed this thing alive and experienced the most painful minute in his life. He never wanted to experience that disgusting taste again in his life!
But now, he stepped forward eagerly to taste the locust again.
Even if the fragrance hits your nose, even if your index finger moves.
He still had the slightest hesitation.
Under the gaze of everyone, Li Shimin slowly moved the bamboo stick, opened his mouth slightly, and then took a tentative bite.
Bang!
There was a crisp sound. At this moment, countless people secreted saliva and swallowed saliva.
It seems that this sound is fragrant!
And Li Shimin's eyes also stopped at this moment.
He felt that his taste buds were cheering and his teeth were jumping for joy!
A fresh and salty aroma exploded in the mouth, washing away all the bad feelings just now!
After taking this bite, Li Er couldn't help but close his eyes, and then he immediately took the second and third bite as if he was in a hurry! The fourth bite!
Bang!
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
The crisp sound surrounds your ears!
