"Humph, alien people don't know what is good or bad!"
After the banquet was over, Li Yuanji said angrily: "Just show off with a broken bead!"
"Second brother, if you return the telescope to me, I will show him what an immortal weapon is!"
"Then what? If he asks for it, can you give him the telescope?"
Li Yuanji was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.
Li Shimin didn't take this matter seriously at first, but the next day, news spread in Chang'an City that the Miaoman prince had presented a treasure, and his majesty promised to give him a generous gift in return.
This was Li Caichen's wishful thinking. If Li Shimin really brought out the treasure, he would not be at a loss. After all, although the dragonfly eye glass beads were exquisite, they were actually made of sand.
And if Tang Palace just gives something out casually, haha, wouldn’t it be a joke? Could the Tang Dynasty, which claimed to be the orthodoxy of the Central Plains, not even be able to give a decent gift in return?
In fact, many envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty did this kind of thing in history. They could just pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty and get rewards from the Tang Dynasty.
I just didn't expect that such a scene would also be staged in the Tang Dynasty in this different time and space.
This matter spread like wildfire, even Tang Ping from Shanghe Village knew about it.
You want to ask him how he knew?
"Do you think this is irritating or not?" Li Yuanji stretched out his bowl: "Xiao Luo, give me another bowl!"
Tang Ping looked at General Li San speechlessly, who didn't regard him as an outsider at all: "Didn't Xiaoluo teach your cook?"
"Thank you!" Li Yuanji took the bowl from Xiaoluo: "But you didn't teach them how to make this... Oh, yes, spicy hotpot!"
After saying that, he put a thin slice of potato into his mouth: "It feels similar to hot pot, but it tastes better than hot pot!"
"Um...General Li San, you came here today just to tell me about this matter, right?"
So many potatoes were moved that day, some of which were not suitable for breeding, so Tang Ping kept them. Today I just asked Du Laosan to cut them into thin slices and make a spicy soup with some other vegetables, so General Li San came.
"I'm just asking, do you have any treasures here?" Li Yuanji didn't blush at all. Back then, he often went to his second sister's house to collect good things.
Although the second sister is no longer here, the feeling of coming to my nephew's place is still the same.
"You mean you want something that looks cool but is actually useless?"
This is what Tang Ping understood from what he just said.
"Yes, yes!" Although he didn't quite understand what cool meant, he knew it was useless and that's what he wanted.
Tang Ping thought for a while and said to Li Bai: "Xiao Bai, give one of your glass marbles to General Li San."
"No!" Li Bai, who was still happily eating Malatang, directly covered his pocket: "Second Master, how can you get back the things you gave away!"
During the past two days, when Li Bai and several children in the village were taking a break from class, Tang Ping saw that they had nothing to do, so he looked through the glass marbles he had shot when he was a child, and gave a few to each of them.
After teaching them the rules, these kids had a great time playing marbles with Li Bai after class every day.
Doesn’t this thing just meet Li Yuanji’s criteria of looking cool but useless?
When Li Yuanji heard that there was such a thing, his eyes lit up and he stopped eating Malatang. He put the bowl aside and said to Li Bai: "Xiao Bai, come here, show me!"
Li Bai looked at him: "Just take a look?"
"Just take a look!"
Li Bai then took one out of his pocket and placed it in his palm.
It happens to be noon, and the weather is good today. The sun shines brightly on the glass beads.
Looking more closely, there is actually a rainbow sealed inside the round glass bead.
Li Yuanji thought in his heart that he had come to the right place today. As soon as he stretched out his hand, Li Bai retracted his hand.
"Didn't you say you just want to look at it?"
"Hey hey hey!" After all, Li Bai was Tang Ping's apprentice and he was his grandfather. He looked a little embarrassed when he snatched something from a grandchild like this.
"Didn't I see clearly? I'm old and my eyesight is bad!"
Li Bai was not so easily fooled. Anyway, no matter what Li Yuanji said, he just clenched his fists and refused to let go.
"How about I exchange this jade pendant with you?" Li Yuanji took off a jade pendant from his waist and asked.
"don't want!"
"Then how about I find a foal to trade with you? It will definitely be one of the best in a million."
"No, I have a bicycle!"
Anyway, Li Bai doesn't have enough oil and salt.
Finally, Tang Ping spoke: "Xiao Bai, don't you have several? Give one to General Li first, and I will give you a few more next time!"
"real?"
"Second Master, can I still lie to you?" Tang Ping couldn't laugh or cry. He didn't expect that he could treat Li Bai like a child when he came to the Tang Dynasty. It was amazing when he thought about it.
"Okay! I...I want five next time!"
"Okay, I'll give you ten!"
After the terms were negotiated, Li Bai brought his pocket to his eyes, turned a blind eye and took out the one he thought was the worst, and then reluctantly handed it to Li Yuanji.
When I got it in my hand, it was different from what I saw in Li Bai's hand just now.
After playing with it for a while, Li Yuanji carefully put it into his pocket, then picked up the bowl and wiped away the remaining Malatang in the bowl.
Wiping his mouth, Li Yuanji patted Tang Ping on the shoulder: "I'll send this back first. Tell me what you want!"
"You're welcome, General Li San!" No matter how thick-skinned Tang Ping was, he would still be embarrassed if he had to pay back some rewards for the glass marbles given to the children.
"Hahaha, okay, I'll leave first!"
"General Li, your jade pendant!" Tang Ping looked at the jade pendant he had just slapped on the table.
"Sent to you!"
Back in the palace, Li Yuanji proudly took out the glass beads and placed them in front of Li Shimin's eyes.
"Second brother, look, this thing is pretty good!"
"Where have you been to Tang Ping again?" Li Shimin pinched the glass bead from Li Yuanji's hand.
There is a rainbow sealed in the extremely round glass bead. No matter how you look at it, it cannot be compared to the dragonfly eye glass bead Miao Man gave.
"Is this thing very valuable?" Li Shimin hesitated. After all, he got it from his nephew. If it was too precious and was given to the Miao people, he would not be willing to part with it.
"Oh, we are the only ones who think it's valuable!" Li Yuanji took a mouthful of tea and drank it all in one gulp. He came back galloping on horseback.
"At Tang Ping's place, it was just for his young apprentice and the village kids to play with." As he spoke, Li Yuanji put the glass beads in the crook of his index finger, pressed it with the nail of his thumb and said, "They are just playing on the ground like this. Who can If your ball hits the opponent's ball, you win!"
Li Shimin wanted to hold it in, but in the end he couldn't.
"Hahahahaha, okay, okay, the Miao people donated glass beads as treasures, and we will give them a child's stuff in return."
