Shop of All Worlds: The First Customer Princess Jinyang

Chapter 141: Searching
"Thank you, Immortal!"

Everyone bowed to Ye Jiangnan to express their gratitude.

Ye Jiangnan waved his hand and shouted to Ying Yinman who was still practicing over there:
"Yangzi, come over for some barbecue!"

Upon hearing this, Ying Yinman opened her eyes.

"it is good!"

Ying Yinman ran over.

After looking around the crowd and not seeing her father, Ying Yinman asked Ye Jiangnan:
"Master, isn't my father here?"

Before Ye Jiangnan could answer, Li Shimin smiled and said:

"Hey, Brother Zheng is not here."

"It seems that he is not blessed with good food!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said curiously:

"Well, it's strange."

"Why didn't Zheng Ge come today?"

Li Shimin spread his hands, indicating that he didn't know.

"Cough cough!"

Suddenly, a cough sounded behind them.

Everyone looked back and saw Qin Shi Huang standing behind them.

"Hey, Zheng-ge!"

Li Shimin shouted.

Qin Shi Huang came over, and Zhu Yuanzhang said to Zhu Biao:

"Biao'er, this is your Uncle Zhao."

Zhu Biao bowed as usual and shouted:

"My nephew has met Uncle Zhao."

Qin Shi Huang smiled, patted Zhu Biao on the shoulder, and said:

"Not bad!"

Ying Yinman went over and hugged Qin Shi Huang's thigh, saying:

"Father."

"Why are you so late today?"

"Yang Zi thought you wouldn't come!"

Qin Shi Huang held Ying Yin Man in his arms and said:
"Father was delayed by something."

"Otherwise, I would have come a long time ago."

Li Shimin asked curiously:

"Oh? Brother Zheng, what delayed you?"

Qin Shi Huang looked at Li Shimin, and then said calmly:
"It's nothing, just killed a few people."

Li Shimin: "..."

After hearing Qin Shihuang say that he had killed several people, everyone tactfully stopped asking further questions.

Fortunately, Huang Rong and Yu Shu grilled a lot of barbecue.

Otherwise, there really wouldn’t be enough food for so many people.

"Everyone, take your time. We are also roasting a suckling pig and a lamb."

Huang Rong said with a smile.

"Thank you Miss Huang, you've worked so hard!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Miss Huang, thank you for your hard work!"

Li Shimin said.

Huang Rong wiped the sweat from her forehead and said:
"It's not hard, don't just thank me!"

"Sister Yu Shu, it's also very hard."

"If it weren't for her help, I really wouldn't be able to handle it alone."

Seeing that everyone wanted to thank her, Yu Shu quickly waved her hand and said:
"You don't have to do this, I just helped a little bit."

After everyone had eaten for a while, Huang Rong brought up a whole roasted lamb and a roasted suckling pig.

"Xiao Neng-jun, I want to drink too!"

Little Sizi suddenly ran from Li Shimin's side to Ye Jiangnan's front.

She held high in her hand her own pink cup.

"What do you want to drink?"

Ye Jiangnan asked.

There were several different drinks on the table, and I didn't know what the little guy wanted to drink.

"that!"

Little Sizi stretched out his chubby fingers and pointed at the beer in front of Ye Jiangnan.

"You wanna drink this!?"

Ye Jiangnan asked in confusion.

"Yeah! I want to drink!"

Little Sizi raised his cup with a look of anticipation.

Ye Jiangnan picked up Xiao Sizi, put him in his arms, and asked:

"Why do you want to drink this?"

“This doesn’t taste good.”

Little Sizi pouted with an expression that said "you lied to me" on his face.

"If it doesn't taste good, then why would you drink it?"

"Forehead……"

Ye Jiangnan didn't know how to explain to Xiao Sizi for a moment.

He himself doesn't really like drinking beer.

But what’s the fun of eating barbecue without beer?

So, Ye Jiangnan took out a can of beer and drank it.

Ye Jiangnan drank very slowly. After finishing a can of beer, more than half of it was still left.

"Little Neng-jun, just let me have a taste!"

Little Sizi didn't agree with Ye Jiangnan, so she started to act like a spoiled child.

"Little Nianjun, just let me have a sip!"

"Please, please~"

The soft and sticky voice made Ye Jiangnan a little overwhelmed.

After thinking about it, Ye Jiangnan finally agreed.

"Okay, then you can only drink a little!"

Ye Jiangnan said.

Xiao Sizi is practicing now, and Ye Jiangnan checked her health this morning.

Now Xiao Sizi's body really lives up to his name.

As strong as a rhino!
Drinking a little bit of beer can help dissolve the alcohol in the body with the internal energy.

It had no effect on Xiao Sizi.

Ye Jiangnan didn't want Xiao Sizi to drink because he didn't want Xiao Sizi to develop a habit.

How can a three-year-old child drink alcohol every day?
"it is good!"

Little Sizi was very happy that there was something “delicious”.

She wanted to drink simply because she saw Ye Jiangnan seemed very happy while drinking.

That's why he ran away from Li Shimin and came to Ye Jiangnan.

Li Shimin and his men all drank white wine, and no one drank beer.

They are not used to drinking it.

Ye Jiangnan poured a little beer into Xiao Sizi's cup.

Little Sizi stared at it without blinking.

After Ye Jiangnan fell a little, Xiao Sizi pouted and said:

"Little Neng-kun, give me some more!"

Ye Jiangnan glanced at her, then poured some more beer into the glass.

"More."

Ye Jiangnan poured a little more.

"More."

Ye Jiangnan poured a little more.

"Again……"

Ye Jiangnan stopped pouring the wine and stared at Xiao Sizi.

"Forehead……"

Little Sizi met Ye Jiangnan's gaze.

"Hehe... Xiao Neng-jun, there's no need to fall, there's no need to fall."

Little Sizi said with a silly smile.

She is very smart!

From the look in Xiao Nengjun's eyes, she knew that if she said anything more, the little bit in the cup would be gone.

Seeing Ye Jiangnan staring at him, Xiao Sizi raised his cup and said loudly:

"Uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters, Sizi has done it, you can do whatever you want!"

Everyone was amused by her cute appearance.

They all raised their glasses.

"Where did you learn that?"

Ye Jiangnan asked speechlessly.

"Isn't that what the brother just did?"

Xiao Sizi pointed at Zhu Biao over there and said.

Ye Jiangnan: “…”

After Xiao Sizi finished speaking, he picked up the cup and poured the wine into his mouth.

As soon as it entered his mouth, the little Sizi sprayed out to the side.

"puff--"

"Bah, bah, bah -"

"taste not good!"

“It’s so bitter!”

Little Sizi's cute face wrinkled.

“It’s so hard to drink!!!”

Little Sizi stuck out his tongue and said bitterly.

Ye Jiangnan handed her a glass of water and said unhappily:
"I warned you, but you didn't listen."

Little Sizi took the water, took a sip, and then spit it out.

Then he took another sip and spit it out.

When the taste of beer was no longer in his mouth, Xiao Sizi finally felt relieved.

“I thought it was delicious!”

Little Sizi pouted and sighed.

Ye Jiangnan ignored her and put her down.

"You! Go wash your face and hands."

"Know it!"

The little Sizi ran away.

When Xiao Sizi came back again, she ran and sat next to Ying Yinman.

The two little guys were mumbling something and laughing from time to time.

Seeing that everyone had almost finished eating, Ye Jiangnan wiped his mouth and said:

"Let's talk about today's events one by one."

When everyone heard that Ye Jiangnan had something to say, they put down their chopsticks.

"No need to do that, let's eat and chat at the same time."

Ye Jiangnan said.

"We originally said yesterday that we would talk about punctuation after you all got together."

"As a result, the Tang King mentioned the locust plague today."

"Then let me first tell you about the locust plague?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he suddenly remembered that Li Shimin had called him today.

He suddenly realized and said:
"So this is ah!"

"Old Li, you want to ask me about the locust plague!"

Li Shimin nodded awkwardly.

"I really have no other choice."

"This year we have drought, frost and now locusts."

“It’s been very difficult for the people this year.”

"If I don't handle it properly, I don't know how many people will starve to death."

"Hey……"

Li Shimin sighed.

With a disaster happening once a year alone, people already have a hard time living.

As a result, this year, three disasters hit at once.

What can the people say about this?
How do ordinary people view themselves?

"Old Li, you..."

Qin Shihuang looked at Li Shimin without finishing his words.

It’s not that he didn’t want to finish. If he did, Li Shimin would definitely be angry with him.

"Brother Zheng, I know what you mean."

Li Shimin sighed.

"You mean, I have bad luck, right?" Qin Shihuang nodded.

This is really bad luck.

If you are lucky, you will definitely not encounter such a thing.

“I don’t know if it’s just bad luck.”

"In short, in short, I have to handle this matter well."

Li Shimin said.

"I just don't know if you, Immortal, Brother Zheng, and Lao Zhu, can help me think of a solution."

Zhu Yuanzhang and Qin Shihuang looked at Ye Jiangnan and said in unison:

"Speak, Immortal."

Ye Jiangnan said:

"Tell me what you think first."

Qin Shi Huang spread his hands and said:
"Immortal, I have never encountered such a situation, so I can't give Lao Li any advice."

"The only thing I can suggest is to let Lao Li open his warehouse to provide relief."

"Calm the people first, otherwise they will not have enough food to eat and will definitely rebel!"

Everyone nodded slightly.

This statement really did not speak.

The common people couldn’t even get enough food to eat, so how could he just sit there and watch the princes and nobles eat?

Zhu Yuanzhang said:

"We think the same as Brother Zheng."

"However, what you need to do now is to deal with the locusts first."

"If left untreated, these bugs will harm more crops."

Li Shimin asked:
"How to deal with it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said:

"Eat!"

Li Shimin, Zhangsun Wuji and others looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in confusion.

"eat?!"

Zhang Sun Wuji stood up and said:
"Ming Wang, that is the locust god, how can you eat it!"

"Won't I be punished by God if I eat it?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said nothing and just looked at Changsun Wuji quietly.

Chang Sun Wuji wanted to continue speaking, but suddenly he reacted, looked at Ye Jiangnan, and said:
"My god, I didn't mean to offend you."

"It's just that Ming Wang just mentioned eating locusts... ahem, eating those bugs, I got excited all of a sudden."

Ye Jiangnan took a sip of beer and said:
"You sit down first."

"What Lao Zhu said is actually quite right."

"The Tang king in history also did the same thing."

When Li Shimin heard this, he stood there in a daze.

"Immortal, I have thought about this before."

"But if it is really implemented, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the people to accept it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Jiangnan said:

“So what if it’s hard to accept?”

"Could it be that they really don't want the crops this year?"

Li Shimin was silent.

This is true.

Compared to the "Locust God", this illusory existence.

People believe more in things they can see and touch.

"It's not just for people to eat. You can collect some chickens and ducks and put them in the land."

"They can help catch locusts and stop them from eating crops."

After saying that, Ye Jiangnan paused and looked at Xiao Sizi and Ying Yinman who were whispering over there.

"Also..."

"Take Sizi and Yangzi with you as well."

Xiao Sizi and Ying Yinman, whose names were suddenly called, raised their heads.

The two little guys blinked their big eyes, looking confused.

"Xiao Neng-jun, what do you want me to do?"

"Master, what's wrong?"

The two little guys asked one after another.

Li Shimin glanced at Xiao Sizi and Ying Yinman, and asked in confusion:

"Immortal, are you telling the truth?"

"Can Sizi and Yangzi kill the locusts?"

Little Sizi: “???”

Ying Yinman: “???”

Xiao Sizi asked doubtfully:

"What about locust removal?"

“What are locusts?”

"Is it delicious?"

Ye Jiangnan nodded to Xiao Sizi and snapped his fingers, and a handful of roasted locusts appeared on the table.

“It’s delicious.”

"Sizi, try it."

Ye Jiangnan gave one string each to Xiao Sizi and Ying Yinman.

"You guys should try it too."

Ye Jiangnan asked Li Shimin and the others to take it themselves.

"Immortal, this is... a locust?"

Li Shimin didn't dare to move.

I dare not eat it if I hold it in my hand.

The same was true for Changsun Wuji and others.

On the contrary, Zhu Yuanzhang and Qin Shihuang had no scruples.

I took a bunch and ate it directly.

"Yeah! Good times!"

The little Sizi was not afraid either and had already put one in his mouth.

"Mmm! Senior Sister, this is delicious!"

Ying Yinman nodded.

Huang Rong and her family ate slowly and listened to them talking.

Li Shimin had a strange expression on his face and didn't dare to eat.

"If you don't eat it yourself, how dare the people eat it?"

Qin Shihuang, who was beside Li Shimin, said to Li Shimin speechlessly.

"Only if you, the emperor, eat it, will your people dare to eat it."

"If you don't dare to eat it, they will just think you are fooling them."

Li Shimin looked at the roasted and fragrant locusts and finally put them into his mouth and ate them.

He thought it would be unpalatable, but he didn't expect it to taste very different.

When Changsun Wuji and the other three saw that Li Shimin had eaten it, they also tasted it.

"Um!!!"

"good to eat!"

"It tastes better than the beef from my old Cheng family!"

After eating one, Cheng Yaojin said loudly.

He finished one string quickly, and Cheng Yaojin immediately took another one to eat.

All of a sudden, Cheng Yaojin ate five or six skewers.

Seeing that they were enjoying their meal, Ye Jiangnan continued:

"In addition to grilling it, you can also deep-fry it or stir-fry it with other vegetables."

"As for how to make the food, you can ask Xiao Huang Rong for details."

When Huang Rong heard Ye Jiangnan mention her, she said to Li Shimin:
"King Tang, I won't charge you any money for helping the people."

Li Shimin: "..."

"Thank you Miss Huang!"

Ye Jiangnan said again:
"Sizi and Yangzi learned magic from me. If they encounter a large number of locusts flying in the air, they can use their true qi to kill them."

"When you go back later, take Sizi and Yangzi with you."

Li Shimin nodded repeatedly.

"Yes!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said:

"Then Immortal, can I go with Lao Li to take a look?"

Qin Shi Huang also said:

"Immortal, I want to go too."

Huang Rong said:
"And me! Immortal, I want to go too!"

Zhu Yuanzhang and Qin Shihuang wanted to go there to see how serious the damage caused by locusts was.

It's also a good opportunity to learn so that if you encounter such a situation in the future, you will have a solution.

Huang Rong wanted to go, mainly to see the Tang Dynasty.

See what the differences are between the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, and see if there is anything interesting.

"You can go if you want."

"Don't ask me."

"In fact, you should ask King Tang if he would take you to see it."

Ye Jiangnan said.

He is not a prison warden, why would he ask himself where he is going?

It seems as if we are restricting their personal freedom.

Li Shimin rubbed his hands, looked at Qin Shihuang and Zhu Yuanzhang and said with a smile:
"Brother Zheng, Lao Zhu, you can come."

"That's right, I can't raise so many chickens and ducks at once."

“Take a look…”

Upon hearing this, Qin Shihuang and Zhu Yuanzhang rolled their eyes at Li Shimin.

Can’t raise that many chickens and ducks?

It's obviously you who are being stingy and trying to get something out of us!

"I can only offer a thousand chickens and a thousand ducks at most, no more!"

Qin Shi Huang said unhappily.

Anyway, it's all for the common people, so giving it to Li Shimin doesn't matter.

These chickens and ducks are not worth much, so just give them away.

"Thank you, Zheng-ge!"

"Thank you, Zheng-ge!"

Li Shimin said happily.

Then, Li Shimin looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.

"I'm the same as Zheng, is that okay?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said speechlessly.

"Okay, okay! Sure, sure!"

Li Shimin responded.

Seeing that they had discussed it, Ye Jiangnan said:

"Go get ready."

"The sooner we finish it, the less damage we will suffer to the crops."

Everyone responded in unison:
"Yes!"

-

soon.

Everyone left Ye Jiangnan.

The entire Wanjie Store became empty in an instant.

Xiao Sizi and Ying Yinman followed Li Shimin back.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Qin Shihuang went back to prepare chickens and ducks.

Ye Jiangnan and Yu Shu were the only ones left in the store.

"Yu Shu, let's change our clothes and go over to take a look, shall we?"

"By the way, let's take a tour of the Tang Dynasty."

Ye Jiangnan said to Yu Shu.

"Okay!"

Yu Shu smiled happily.

In fact, she wanted to go with him at first.

But Ye Jiangnan didn't say he wanted to go, so she didn't mention it.

"Sir, should we take some silver with us?"

Yu Shu was halfway there when she suddenly asked Ye Jiangnan.

"Need not."

"King Tang won't let us spend money."

Ye Jiangnan said with a smile.

Yu Shu also laughed and said jokingly:
"Sir, that's not necessarily true."

"King Tang is such a stingy person, maybe he will ask us to pay for it ourselves?"
