Li Zhi looked at the pensive Li Xian with satisfaction, but did not say anything to wake him up.

Being an emperor is not that easy. As the saying goes, one move can affect the whole body. As the only supreme person in this country, any action of the emperor will cause a series of reactions.

Because of this, many times, as an emperor, when you want to do something, you must carefully consider all the consequences.

No one can become an emperor right away, let alone Li Xian, a prince who has never accepted the doctrine of emperors.

At this moment, Li Zhi just hopes that his life span will be extended a little longer. At the very least, he must train Li Xian to the level of Li Hong.

On the other side, Li Xian became calmer after constantly encouraging himself.

This guy Xu Yanbo must be dealt with, but there is no need to take his life, as long as he pays the price for his actions.

One cannot feel pity for one's enemies, but it is not easy to kill them all unless the hostility reaches a certain level.

After thinking about it, he felt very happy. Seeing that the emperor was served by several eunuchs, Li Xian also called Li Yun over.

Those in power always have some privileges, such as asking others to grill skewers for them.

Roast mutton, beef, chicken, etc., taste fresh, but because they waste a lot of time, in fact they are not very filling.

Before Li Zhi's patience was almost exhausted, Li Xian estimated that the beggar chicken was almost ready.

He ordered the cook to take out the mud lumps from the fire, smash the soil outside, and then peel off the lotus leaves wrapping the chicken, revealing the chicken inside.

Seeing the steaming chicken, Li Zhi was surprised and said: "This method of cooking is really unheard of."

Li Xian put his portion on the stool and let it dry for a while before replying: "Aye, actually this is a way for beggars to eat chicken. It is mainly simple but does not affect the deliciousness. In fact, originally chicken The hair is not removed, but I felt it was too disturbing to my appetite, so I asked the cook to pluck the hair out."

Hearing that this was a beggar's way of eating chicken, Li Zhi frowned, but then he felt relieved. Looking at Li Xian again, he couldn't help but sigh.

As an emperor, he does not have a special understanding of the world. Everyone said that it was good to be the emperor, and they all said that Li Zhi reaped the benefits of being a fisherman and achieved the supreme position in the world without going through any setbacks.

However, only he knew how boring his life had been over the years. Although the palace walls protect him, the supreme being in the world, why don't they lock him in place?

It's just that no one can share these joys and sorrows with him. Li Xian can't do it, and even the Queen of Heaven can't do it. Such emotions are destined to be kept in his heart by himself and tasted endlessly.

Others only thought that the saint's sigh was a sign of suppressing rejection and eating chicken, but Li Xian knew very well what the reason for his sigh was.

The temperature of the chicken dropped a bit. He tore off two chicken legs, two chicken wings and chicken breasts and put them on a plate. He handed the remaining parts to Li Yong.

Although the parts he got were not good ones, Li Yun was very grateful. He took them with both hands and hid aside to enjoy them secretly. After all, a eunuch is not qualified to eat with saints and princes.

Looking at Li Yun leaving, Li Zhi smiled slightly and said to Li Xian: "I owe a lot to Li Yun. When I was under your command, if I did anything wrong, you should bear with me more."

Li Xian quickly chewed the chicken in his mouth, swallowed it, and replied: "Don't worry, Aye, Li Yun is actually very useful, and everything he does is in line with your wishes."

Li Zhi nodded and said nothing more. He had nothing to say. As early as when he was in the palace, he had a feeling that some of Li Yun's loyalty would be lost to his son.

Seeing the scene of dividing the chicken today, he realized that this might be too big. No one knows the effect of kindness better than myself at the moment.

only....

Looking at the chicken in front of him, Li Zhi didn't want to part with it yet, because at this moment, he always felt like he could finish the whole chicken. How can I say this taste? It’s really good!

Compared with Li Zhi who was obsessed with eating chicken, Li Xian didn't think there was anything delicious about the beggar's chicken. Later generations are accustomed to eating various dishes with extreme taste, but now this chicken, which lacks seasoning, tastes really bland.

The stir-fry culture has not yet emerged! Although the Tang Dynasty also had some famous delicacies, and the taste was not bad, they were far inferior to those dazzling dishes in the future.

Perhaps, a cook who traveled to this era would do well?

As soon as the idea came up, Li Xian felt that he had caught a shining point.

No, what's the future of being a cook? Aren't you still a part-time worker? If you want to make money, you have to change from a part-time worker to a boss and let more people create wealth for yourself.

In this way...

Buying a restaurant is a good choice!

Whether it’s food or drinks, it can create profits. Make the environment more elegant, the dishes more exquisite, the utensils more sophisticated, and it is best to add some gimmicks, so that a plate of shredded radish can be sold for a silver price.

As for the ability to make high-alcohol wine that is necessary for time travellers, let alone it. Get some at this time and store it in a cellar. Ten or twenty years from now, it is not unusual for the price to be higher than gold.

There are many people who are addicted to alcohol in this era. Good wine is combined with gimmicks, and then it is auctioned. Tsk tsk...

The Tang Dynasty was really a good era. Even someone like me, who had never even run a canteen, could quickly think of ways to make money. In addition, there are so many ways to make money.

Thinking of this, Li Xian's mouth watered.

Li Zhi, who was hesitating where to eat next, saw Li Xian's appearance on the other side and couldn't help but ask, "What are you thinking about?"

After his fantasy was interrupted, Li Xian wiped his mouth and put the remaining meat on Li Zhi's plate. He bowed and said: "I suddenly remembered that today's martial arts class was delayed. Continue. If I accompany you, I'm afraid today will be wasted. Aye, please use it slowly, please forgive me for not being able to accompany you."

After saying that, he called Li Xing and asked him to lead him to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He didn't care that he couldn't exercise strenuously after meals, and ran away excitedly.

When there is a lot of money to be made, who cares about those pieces of chicken or whether there will be a stomachache?

Seeing Li Xian leave quickly, Li Zhi frowned. He really couldn't guess what could make him so anxious.

Taking a look at the chicken on the plate that was almost eaten by him, Li Zhi thought of Li Hong for some reason.

With a heartbroken sigh, he looked to the side of the fat cook and asked, "Can you make this kind of chicken?"

The fat cook quickly replied: "Report to the sage, the villain has learned."

"Then make two more. One will be sent to Mingyi Hall, and the other will be sent to the prince's spiritual throne."
