Zhizhang Datang

Chapter 182 Not Seeking Fame, Just Seeking Profit (Seeking Subscription, Asking For Reward)

"Stay and have dinner with me before leaving." Li Shimin was planning to let Lin Sen have a taste of the royal banquet, it was a way to show his favor and value.

"Hey, I've been yearning for this imperial banquet for a long time. I didn't expect to have the opportunity to taste it so soon, but I'm so disrespectful." Lin Sen said with a smile.

"Well, I know you'll be happy. Several lovers have said, what's your name, foodie, yes, you're a big foodie!" Li Shimin shook his head, smiled and pointed at Lin Sen twice.

"It is said that being able to eat is a blessing, and Lin Sen is indeed a blessed person." Empress Changsun only interrupted now, and there was an irresistible gentleness in her words, which easily made people feel close.

And pay attention to the time she speaks. It is not difficult to find that she never intervenes when it comes to political affairs. Outsiders have no way of knowing why Li Shimin blows pillows behind her back, but when outsiders are around, she always keeps these things in mind. Silence, this is the so-called propriety, and it is probably one of the advantages of her constant favor.

"The kid really likes the scratching on the mouth. Speaking of which, the acquaintance with Yi Guogong and the others came from this eating, which can be regarded as a different kind of fate."

Lin Sen has always been open about the fact that he is a foodie, and even feels proud of it, so of course he doesn't mind using it to tease himself at this time.

"Of course, I also want to thank His Majesty for the gift of marriage, because the lady of the Cheng family is also a foodie, and we are like-minded in this regard." Lin Sen smiled proudly.

"You really are a blessed boy..." Li Shimin smiled and shook his head.

After actually taking the seat, Lin Sen realized that Li Shimin at this time was really quite simple, and there were not many dishes on the table, but he was similar to other generals, and this one was obviously a master who had no pleasure.

Didn't look at the only green vegetable on the table, is it still made by stir-frying? Li Shimin still eats it like medicine at the end, but he didn't waste any other meat. It can be regarded as bold.

Of course, his actions can still give people a sense of elegance. This can be regarded as the difference between a person of noble origin and a mountain boy like Lin Sen, because Lin Sen's way of eating is definitely a nonsense in the eyes of outsiders. It's nothing to do with elegance at all.

This is the meal-sharing system implemented in the Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, Lin Sen's way of eating is like grabbing things, and people have to fork them out.

It really is that the roasted whole lamb is so delicious, it is worthy of being an imperial chef, and he is a master who is in charge of this dish full-time. Even Lin Sen, who is more confident in his cooking skills, must admit that, When it comes to this dish alone, he is willing to bow down.

Apart from talking about his vision for the Royal Printing House and his clear stance of not seeking fame but only profit, he didn’t talk much about serious matters. With Empress Changsun making adjustments by the side, the whole process seemed relaxed and comfortable. , is also a rare experience.

After drinking and eating, Lin Sen took his leave and left. As for the reward Li Shimin would give, he didn't say anything, and Lin Sen didn't have the nerve to ask. After all, he came to thank Li Shimin as a matchmaker in name, and asked for benefits directly. He looks so philistine.

And the few things he presented can actually increase the benefits for Li Shimin, and they are the kind of big killers that can change the situation of the enemy and ourselves, especially when Lin Sen clearly expresses that he will give up the benefits brought by these things. Fame and willingness to live in seclusion behind the scenes, it is impossible for Li Shimin not to express something to such a boy who wholeheartedly serves the Tang Dynasty and has made many contributions to his emperor. Otherwise, wouldn't it cool the hearts of all the heroes.

After coming out of the palace, Lin Sen hurried to Cheng Yaojin's house, and told his father-in-law all about today's response. What changes will it bring.

After all, the old man has experienced a lot of things, and he is a master with great wisdom, which must be much better than what he can figure out by himself.

"Overall, you coped well. The main reason is that when you faced Jinshang, you really showed your true temperament. This is more important than anything else." Cheng Yaojin stroked his beard and said with a gratified smile. .

"As for your benefits, don't worry, you will definitely be indispensable. You have seen His Majesty's generosity before, and I will remind His Majesty from time to time." Cheng Yaojin smiled very proudly, so shameless to benefit from the emperor The thing is that he can do it.

"With the words of my father-in-law, I feel relieved." Now that the emperor has bestowed a marriage, the relationship is considered settled. Lin Sen is not going to hit the snake with a stick, and he will call his father-in-law first.

"But are you sure that this tea is really an indispensable good for the grassland people?" Cheng Yaojin didn't care about Lin Sen's progress, but asked about it instead.

"People who often eat meat, in fact, lack something in their bodies, and drinking tea is the most convenient way. We also have a variety of vegetables and fruits to eat, which are basically not seen on their tables. Tea will naturally Become an irreplaceable good thing." Lin Sen nodded affirmatively.

"Then this tea business seems to have to be taken care of. If it is really like what you said, it can be used to exchange for large livestock. Whether it is the profit here or the other interests involved, we all have It has to be caught.

It seems that it is necessary to call a group of old brothers to make tea together. "Cheng Yaojin said thoughtfully.

"Well, I will grow some tea trees when I go back, but the fried tea I make will mainly be sold in Chang'an City in the future, just like our shochu, mainly for the rich people in the city.

At that time, if you want to trade a large amount of tea, you still have to go to Shu and the southwest region. It seems that most of the existing tea is produced in these two places.

By the way, we have to pay attention to one thing, we must not let the live tea trees fall into the hands of the grassland peoples. Although at their level, even if there are complete tea trees, they may not be able to grow them alive, but we can still take precautions. Lin Sen thought for a while and gave some suggestions.

"What you said makes sense." Cheng Yaojin nodded in satisfaction.This son-in-law is still thoughtful and considerate. It seems that there is no need to worry about his road going far in the future.

After bidding farewell to the reluctant Cheng Huaiyu, Cheng Yaojin waved his hands like chasing away flies, Lin Sen rode his antelope and ran back in a hurry.

It's time to expand the scale of the tea garden. With Li Shimin's approval, this thing will definitely not have to worry about selling in the future. Let's continue to put the brand of "I think it's good today". It's better to sell this thing as a luxury. Goods, that's not a lot of money.

It's time to make a name for yourself, can this also be part of the betrothal gift to the Cheng family? Just pick the tea leaves that are picked from these old wild tea trees, and you will definitely be able to sell them.

After returning home, Lin Sen devoted himself to the expansion of tea trees with great enthusiasm.It is simple enough for him to plant tea trees, just get some tea tree branches down, bury them in the soil at an appropriate distance, and grow them into big trees.

But before he had time to do this job for a few more days, he was interrupted by Dai Mao, who hadn't seen a shadow recently.

"You said you want me to go with you? Is there something good?" Lin Sen asked with some doubts, and Da Mao nodded his head anxiously.
