Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 449
"Why are you scolding people?"

"I just want to scold you. Do you think this is still your bandit den? Everything belongs to you?"

"It's mine, whoever gets it first, I got it first."

There was a noise, Li Shimin dared to have a sip of tea and chocolate, but he was interrupted, which made Li Shimin frown slightly, because Li Shimin likes to eat sweet things very much.

Before the Tang Dynasty, our sugar was maltose. The ancients discovered unexpectedly that when the germinated millet was boiled and eaten, the soup was also sweet.Therefore, they germinated the millet intentionally, drained the soup after cooking, and then boiled the soup. From then on, caramel was born.

At that time, the main food crops in the Yellow River Basin were barley and wheat. Therefore, this sugar is also called maltose, which is the most important sugar in the north. The sorghum maltose in Shandong is the main representative of this sugar production method.

Sugar people are the classics of maltose, but in the Tang Dynasty, a group of Indian envoys, or businessmen, came and they got a stone honey. This stone honey is milk added to the boiled cane pulp. This can make The sugar becomes whiter, and rice flour is added to make it firmer, and the finished product is called stone honey at that time.

After these Indian guys presented this kind of stone honey, Li Shimin was astonished after taking a bite, but the stone honey is not as white as the sugar we eat now, it is still yellow, but the color is better than malt sugar Be shallow.

A piece of stone honey is very big, like a big moon cake, which needs to be crushed before eating, but this kind of stone honey was indeed a very good sugar in the Tang Dynasty at that time, and it was definitely among the best. The sugar envoys went to study, and finally the sugar envoys lived up to expectations, and the stone honey they made was even better than that of India.

However, now Li Shimin has no feelings for Shi Mi, and Li Shimin has fallen in love with chocolates for a long time now. Every day when commemorating memorials, there will be chocolates on Li Shimin's table, almost all of which are sent by Li You. You know, these Even Li You couldn't bear to eat the chocolate, so he specially supplied it to Li Shimin, Li Mingda and some nobles in the palace.

Fortunately, now Li You's shopping mall sells chocolates, so Li You can eat a few pieces now, and put some extravagantly on display today, Li Shimin was overjoyed when he saw chocolates.

Although there are still in Li Shimin's palace, but Li Shimin also knows that there is a quantity of chocolates, and if you eat one piece, you will lose one piece. Li You gave most of the chocolates to himself.

Li Shimin is not willing to eat more, and saves to eat every day. When he came to Dunhuafang today, he saw Li You took out all the chocolates from the bottom of the box. When he saw the chocolates, Li Shimin's eyes widened, and he quickly signaled to Yang Qu for a moment.

Yang Qu was worthy of being Li Shimin's confidant, so he quickly tried a piece. Seeing Yang Qu nodding, Li Shimin was going to eat something special, after all, other people's food is always better than his own.

Unexpectedly, there was a noisy sound outside, and it was obvious that two people had quarreled.

"What's wrong?" Li Shimin asked.

Changsun Wuji laughed: "It was Du Junchuo and Zheng Rentai who quarreled over chocolate."

"Let the two of them come over." Li Shimin was speechless.

Soon, two old men, Du Junchuo and Zheng Rentai, came over. How should I put it, if they are now, they can be considered middle-aged at most, because they are both around 50 years old.

However, in ancient times when people in their 50s were rare, the age of [-] is really considered an old man, and the grandchildren are all in a basket.

"You two lovers, what are you arguing about?" Li Shimin was very polite to them.

Even though these two people may not be familiar with their names like Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin, but the status of Du Junchuo and Zheng Rentai is unshakable, and they belong to Li Shimin's confidant ministers.

These two are both vanguard officers of the Xuanwu Sect.

Among them, Zheng Rentai followed Li Shimin when he was 16 years old. Do you say that he is close or not.

Zheng Rentai quickly bowed: "Your Majesty, I don't want to quarrel with him. I just want to bring some chocolates home to my grandson, but who knows, before I sit down, all the chocolates on the table are taken away by this old fellow." .”

After finishing speaking, Zheng Rentai pointed angrily at Du Junchuo.

"That's because you are slow." Du Junchuo said triumphantly: "You don't understand the reason why you have quick hands, but you don't have slow hands. I advise you to read more books."

"Hey old thief Du, you are really recruiting. It is obviously for all of us. Why do you have it all by yourself? You can't buy this chocolate at all. Last time you called my little grandson and brought chocolate to coax my little granddaughter .

Later, my little grandson also liked it. After a lot of trouble, His Royal Highness Qi Wang took out some to share today, and you, an old thief, came to grab it again. "

"That's my grandson's ability. Your granddaughter must belong to my grandson." Du Junchuo was very proud.

"Ah bah. My granddaughter is full of poems and books. How can that bastard of yours be worthy of my granddaughter? I advise you to give up early." Zheng Rentai was upset.

Listening to the scolding battle between the two, Li You and all the ministers were secretly having fun, but from these words, you should also be able to hear that the relationship between the two is actually good.

That night, in front of the Xuanwu Gate, Li Shimin led a group of people to prepare to rebel. At this time, you must know that no one knows your future fate. Success is fine, but if you fail, you will die if you fail.

If you know, you can feel at ease, but you don't know, Du Junchuo and Zheng Rentai are pioneers, they are people who rush forward recklessly, and the relationship between the two is actually very good.

It is also because of a good relationship that we can have all kinds of disgust above.

At this time, Li Shimin was also laughed at by the two of them. Looking at the chocolate in front of him, Li Shimin had no choice but to say to Zheng Rentai: "Rentai, I still have some here. If I don't like to eat this, you can take it with you." Go back and feed it to your little grandson, today is a good day, don't quarrel."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zheng Rentai was overjoyed. After Li Shimin finished speaking, he was not polite at all, and directly took away the chocolates and small plates on Li Shimin's table.

Originally, Li Shimin wanted to take a piece, but just as his hand touched the chocolate, Zheng Rentai took the plate away. Li Shimin could only subconsciously lick his fingers, and looked at Zheng Rentai and Du Junchuo with some helplessness. leave,

Li Shimin looked at Li Zhi. Li Zhi was also a bastard. After meeting his father's eyes, he wrapped the chocolate in front of him into his mouth and chewed desperately.

Li Shimin frowned, and then looked at Changsun Wuji and the others. At this time, everyone present was also very understanding, and immediately divided up all the snacks on the table, leaving no chance for Li Shimin.

Li Shimin had no choice but to pinch a lychee and put it in his mouth.

Looking at all this, Li You actually had some chocolates in his place, but Li You couldn't take them out anymore, the chocolates had to be marketed by hunger, and if they were too much, they would not be precious.

So looking at Li Shimin, Li You was helpless.

Fortunately, at this time, his son Li Mingda came. After seeing Li Shimin, Li Mingda immediately yelled in aggrieved way: "Father..."

"Oh..." Li Shimin immediately opened his arms and smiled: "My little son is here."

Li Mingda then threw himself into his father's arms, and when he rushed in from the outside, he didn't even look at Li You from the beginning to the end, because the little guy was still angry.

For some reason, he felt that his daughter was angry with Li You, but Li Shimin was quite happy in his heart.

Men are like this. In fact, men also like to be jealous. Jealousy is not a woman's patent. In the past, Li Mingda only pestered Li Shimin, but one day when Li You appeared suddenly, Li Shimin was no longer Li Mingda's only one. Even as the emperor, Li Shimin was jealous, of course, only a little bit.

Now Li Shimin saw his precious daughter angry with his son, and felt happy for a moment, and saw that his son was much more pleasing to the eye. Looking at the little daughter who was thrown into his arms, Li Shimin helped Li You for the first time and said: "Si, you can't blame your fifth brother this time, your fifth brother is also doing it for your own good, you said you didn't study well, you couldn't do the questions, and you coaxed others to go out to watch a big show.

Even my father would be worried, and I was called your fifth brother, so next time you have to study hard, and you can't go out to play privately, even if you are in Dunhuafang, you must be accompanied by your guards.

It's the big tall guy who is obedient... "

The tall one in Li Shimin's mouth is Yansan. Li Shimin once tested Yansan, and it was useless to use money or beautiful women. Later, he knew that Yansan was not smart enough, so he started to use Yansan's favorite food and fun toys. Unfortunately, these were not available. No, Yan San will only protect Li Mingda desperately, no one can do it, even if Changsun Wuji makes rash moves, Yan San will hack and kill Li Mingda without hesitation.

This is very good, Li Shimin likes it very much, because in this way, no one will have the opportunity to hurt his little daughter.

"Third Brother...?" Li Mingda said with an 'hmm': "He is very obedient, but he is also afraid of Fifth Brother, as long as Fifth Brother says a word, he will betray me immediately, so how can I bring with him.?"

After speaking, Li Mingda took another look, and Li You, who was sitting in the lower seat of Li Shimin, said: "There is also the emperor, it's not that Sizi doesn't want to study hard, you must know that Sizi used to like Master Kong and Master Yin very much. "

"Indeed..." Li Shimin nodded: "My son-in-law has always been proficient in all kinds of poetry and songs. He studies very well."

"That's right." Li Mingda was absurd: "But Fifth Brother asked us to learn arithmetic, and Fifth Brother's arithmetic is really too difficult, even a god can't learn it."

"Oh King Qi's arithmetic is difficult?" Cen Wenwen laughed on the side: "The old minister wants to see and see, I wonder if Her Royal Highness can tell the old minister."

"Yes, yes." As soon as Cen Wenwen finished speaking, the other people present also booed, and they all thought that they must know the answer.

"Master Cen and everyone want to know?" Li Mingda chuckled: "Then masters, you should be careful."
