Tang Dynasty: The pot is tied to the duck nest, the little rhinoceros is here!

Zhang Anan excitedly said, "Your Majesty, it is wine, but the taste is a little different from ours, though it's quite delicious."

Hearing this, Li Shimin was completely relieved. He picked up the beer bottle...

I poured a glass of water into it—although it still produced quite a bit of foam.

But Li Shimin already knew that the foam was drinkable.

So he tilted his head back and shoved the wine and foam into his mouth.

The moment Li Shimin took a sip of beer, his expression lit up.

Unlike the wines brewed by the Tang Dynasty, this foamy wine has a longer aftertaste and a refreshing feeling after drinking it, making people feel like they are floating on air.

"Guanyinbi, you should try it too, this wine tastes excellent!"

At Li Shimin's urging, Empress Zhangsun also took a sip of the cup.

After taking a sip, savor it slowly.

"How is it, Guanyinbi? Isn't it delicious?"

Empress Zhangsun nodded slightly: "The taste is indeed quite good. Could this be the celestial wine of Baiyujing?"

"I knew it. I never expected that Brother Sizi, the immortal, would be so generous, gifting our Sizi such a divine brew..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Shimin saw his little darling holding a bottle and pouring beer into her mouth.

Good heavens, Little Sizi has completely forgotten Jiang Fan's instructions.

And with two chubby little hands, he held the beer bottle and chug it straight from the bottle!

The word "generous" perfectly describes the situation.

"Gulp, gulp..."

As he drank, foam appeared at the corners of his mouth.

When Li Shimin saw this, the corner of his mouth twitched.

He quickly gave Empress Zhangsun a wink, signaling her to stop the prince immediately.

Although the wine wasn't strong, Si Zi was too young to drink it like that.

As Li Shimin's capable assistant, Empress Zhangsun naturally understood the situation perfectly.

Reaching out, he snatched the wine bottle from Xiao Sizi's hand: "Sizi, you're too young to drink. Stop!"

Although Xiao Sizi was somewhat unwilling to have his wine bottle taken away, he had at least tasted it, which was much better than just watching his grandparents drink it.

Little Sizi is easily satisfied.

Looking at the bottle again, there was still half left.

Li Shimin, holding a cup, said, "Come, come, Guanyinbi, let's share this wine first, so we don't get caught by the rhinoceros again..."

The rest was left unsaid, as a way of being considerate of the little darling's feelings.

Empress Zhangsun smiled and nodded. The two clinked glasses and shared the remaining half bottle of beer.

Empress Zhangsun held the empty wine bottle in her hand, examining it over and over again.

Then he said to Li Shimin, "Second Prince, look at this wine bottle... it's actually made of glass! Isn't that too extravagant?"

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin noticed the material of the wine bottle.

It really is glass, and it's transparent.

More importantly, what kind of divine skill is required to make glass into such a shape?

In any case, neither the Tang Dynasty nor the Western Regions had craftsmen capable of such work.

At most, they could make a glass cup, which would already be the result of all the skilled craftsmen in the country.

To make a wine bottle this size is probably only possible in dreams—and anything is possible in dreams.

Li Shimin asked Xiao Sizi, "Sizi, this wine bottle...?"

"Is the bottle swollen?"

"Does your brother have many of these wine bottles?"

As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, Xiao Sizi opened the entire box of beer, revealing the remaining five bottles of beer inside.

Upon seeing this, Li Shimin was so astonished that his jaw dropped.

That's outrageous! Such exquisite glassware, used entirely to hold wine, and so much of it at that...

Cola Novels makes reading always a chapter faster than others.

Empress Zhangsun asked, "Sizi, is this kind of wine common in Baiyujing?"

"I don't know, but I've seen people throw away empty beer bottles in the trash!"

"What's a trash can? Is it something used to store this kind of treasure?"

"No, no, it's just throwing it away..." Little Sizi explained in a childish voice for a long time.

After a while, Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun finally understood.

The trash can is just a place to throw away garbage, all of which is unwanted waste.

"puff--"

Li Shimin almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Listen to this, is this even reasonable?

Such a treasure, how could it be thrown away as trash?

Why can't I believe it?

Has Baiyujing really become so extravagantly luxurious that it's inhumane?

Empress Zhangsun was also taken aback by Xiao Sizi's words.

After all, this kind of wine bottle must be quite valuable, perhaps even more expensive than that telephone watch. The Tang Dynasty isn't wealthy; they probably can't afford it.

"Hmph, it really is!" Little Sizi said in a childish voice.

Seeing their daughter like this, Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun believed it to some extent.

Baiyujing truly lives up to its reputation as a celestial abode.

"By the way, did my brother like the things Grandpa and Mom asked you to deliver last time?"

"Guoguo slurps porridge; he eats porridge whenever Xiaosizi brings it."

"That's good!"

Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun exchanged a smile; it seems the immortals really liked the little rhinoceros.

"Aha—"

Little Sizi yawned deeply, then said to Empress Zhangsun, "Mother, I'm going to sleep. I'm sleepy!"

After saying that, she hoarsely climbed onto the carriage with her short legs, and then climbed onto the carriage under the watchful eyes of Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun.

"Sizi, drive carefully!" Emperor Changsun warned.

"It's that island!"

Drop drop-

Xiao Sizi drove away into the darkness, and Li Shimin stared blankly at the beer in the box...

……

Early the next morning, Li Shimin dressed in his court robes and prepared to attend court.

I glanced back at the empty wine bottle left over from yesterday's drinking session, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to take it with me.

During the routine morning court session, civil and military officials would report matters if they had anything to report, and if not, they would stand below, slacking off, waiting to go home and catch up on sleep after the court session.

After the last minister finished reporting on state affairs and returned to the queue,

Li Shimin then cleared his throat and raised his voice, saying, "My dear ministers, does anyone recognize this item?"

After saying this, Li Shimin had Zhang Anan take a beer bottle and walk around in front of the civil and military officials below.

Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong, who were originally slacking off and taking a nap, were instantly wide awake when they saw the beer bottle.

He rubbed his eyes, which were still sleepy, and stared wide-eyed at the wine bottle.

Finally, he blurted out a curse: "Holy crap, this glass is simply exquisite! Your Majesty, where did this come from?"

"Ahem... Zhijie, mind your manners!"

Cheng Yaojin chuckled and grinned, saying, "I got excited, Your Majesty, please forgive me."

However, this glass looks far superior to the crude glass made in the Western Regions; it's hundreds of times better!

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin had a rough idea of ​​what was going on.

"What do you, my ministers, think of its value?"

Li Shimin said this, and then nodded to Zhang Anan.

As Li Shimin's personal attendant, Zhang Anan could understand his intentions with just a glance from Li Shimin.

So Zhang Anan carefully passed the beer bottles around to examine them one by one!

At this moment, looking at the exquisite glass bottle, all the civil and military officials in the court were filled with extreme envy.
