I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

Facing Li Shimin's question, Cheng Yaojin nodded heartily and said softly, "That's right, it's here."

As he said that, he paused for a moment, and then took another look at Tongfu Restaurant, only then did he realize why Li Shimin had such an attitude.

"Your Majesty, don't look at this place as mediocre, or a bit down-and-out, but the craftsmanship inside, my old Cheng, guarantees with my head that it is absolutely unique in the world."

Li Shimin glanced at him: "If you promise to be useful, you don't know how many times you will lose your head."

Cheng Yaojin chuckled.

Li Shimin waved his hand: "Okay, then go and have a look."

The three of them got out of the car and entered the restaurant.

Cheng Yaojin led Li Shimin and Li Lizhi to choose a table and sat down, and then greeted Yin Xuan: "Shopkeeper, here is a piece of gold inlaid jade and a piece of golden silk meat."

As he spoke, he counted out fifty Wen from his purse.

Li Shimin squinted at Yin Xuan who was walking slowly, and was startled. Is this the waiter of this restaurant?Sure enough, this restaurant is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

Only a mistress is so graceful and personable, with a refined temperament.

Li Lizhi couldn't help but look a few more times.Good-looking people, no matter men or women, who wouldn't want to take a few more glances?
Cheng Yaojin put down the copper, and then asked again: "I wonder if the shop has any new dishes today?"

Yin Xuan smiled and looked at the people at the table.

It's Cheng Yaojin, the real wronged man, bah, no, the real rich man.

While secretly looking at the man and woman who came with Cheng Yaojin, he said softly: "There are really no new dishes, but I have brewed the best wine in the world, which is called fine wine."

drinks?

Or the best drink in the world?
Both Li Shimin and Cheng Yaojin's ears twitched. Among the soldiers, there was one who didn't drink alcohol.

"Then bring us two pots!" Cheng Yaojin was very bold, holding his purse tightly, waiting for Yin Xuan to report a number, and he would count out the corresponding copper coins.

Yin Xuan laughed and shook his head: "I don't sell my drinks by jug, but by taels, one tael is always the same price."

This price scared Cheng Yaojin so much that his hands trembled and his purse almost slipped and fell off.

How precious is this wine?
"One or two?" Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and asked with his eyes narrowed.

Yin Xuan nodded.

"You are not a restaurant, why are you in the business of selling wine again?" Li Shimin asked pretending not to care, "You must know that the imperial court does not allow private brewing."

Yin Xuan's eyes sharpened.

Military generals are not so politically sensitive. This person came with Cheng Yaojin, and he is probably a civil servant with a military post?There are not many people like Datang.

Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Yuchi Jingde... It is even said that it may be Li Shimin.

Yin Xuan waved his hand and said softly: "Of course my family is also a brewery household, but there is no wine flag. The restaurant was previously run by my mother, and it is not easy for her to manage the restaurant, let alone wine making."

"I got this jug of wine by accident. I'm still figuring out how to produce it stably, so I won't hang the wine flag for now, and I'll talk about it when I can produce it stably in the future."

Li Shimin asked again: "Ke Ping. I heard that if the wine tax is not paid enough, the wine shop will be taken away."

Yin Xuan shook his head indifferently: "My father sacrificed for the Tang Dynasty, leaving only my family of orphans and widows to make ends meet. Thinking of my mother's pity, she kept it for my family."

Knowing the reason of the matter, Li Shimin didn't ask any further questions, and didn't take it seriously.

Datang did not simply rule the country by law. "Secretism between relatives and relatives" is also an important part of society, and there are even clear regulations on this in the Tang law.

Who would have trouble with a widow?Especially the widow's husband, who sacrificed his life for the Tang Dynasty.

See Li Shimin no longer ask.

Cheng Yaojin gritted his teeth: "Then give me two first, and each of them will give half a catty."

In the Tang Dynasty, a catty was 16 taels, which is the sixteen guan money paid out.

Yin Xuan shook his head again, and said with a smile: "One person is limited to one or two per day."

"A tael?" Cheng Yaojin raised his voice, "It's a fish, what can you taste in a tael?"

Yin Xuan said: "My wine is not the kind of wine you usually drink. You have never drank it. It will be enough to let you get used to it."

"If you drink too much and make a slip of the tongue after drinking, that's not a good thing."

Cheng Yaojin smacked his lips, glanced at Li Shimin, and seeing Li Shimin nodded, he said: "One tael is one tael, then please give me two, one tael for each."

As he spoke, he touched his purse, naturally he didn't have so many coins.

"Can I owe you first?" Cheng Yaojin asked with some embarrassment.

Yin Xuan shook his head and politely refused: "No."

Cheng Yaojin took out another gold leaf: "Then replace it with gold?"

Yin Xuan looked at Cheng Yaojin as if he was mentally disabled: "Can the gold be spent? Can you spend one for me?"

Cheng Yaojin wanted to say that this kind of gold leaf was very popular in the brothel, but Li Lizhi was next to him, so he couldn't say such nonsense.

When he was young, he naively thought that Datang was like a TV show, spending money, but as he grew up, he also knew that the properties of gold, silver and precious metals have never changed.

Especially in Datang, the amount of silver produced in a year is extremely rare.

Among princes and nobles, some gold and silver may be used as currency transactions, but among ordinary people, who would use this thing?Or who would have this thing?
To have a silver hairpin can be regarded as a wealthy family.

Cheng Yaojin sighed: "Then trouble the shopkeeper to serve us the food first, and I'll ask someone to bring back the copper coins."

Yin Xuan nodded, turned and went into the kitchen.

Li Shimin smiled: "This restaurant is really interesting, there are such rules, it's rare for you to be embarrassed."

Cheng Yaojin smiled embarrassingly: "Bi Erlang, I thought it would be good to prepare more coins, but I didn't think it would be enough, you wait, I'll go out and send someone to withdraw the money."

Li Shimin nodded, and after Cheng Yaojin went out, he suddenly realized something.

wait!

Was that young man just now a "shopkeeper" and not a "little two"?
Did he just go to the kitchen?

In other words, the worldly master Cheng Yaojin was talking about was not someone else, but this handsome young man?
This... surprised him.

Aren't all high-level people in the world supposed to have the image of a white-haired, child-like, well-educated person, how could he be such a young and good-looking man?
Wait for Cheng Yaojin to come in again.

Li Shimin couldn't wait to ask: "The extraterrestrial expert you mentioned is the young man just now?"
