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

Chapter 639 We Are Tang People, Really

The inability to eat Buddha's jump over the wall immediately did not make these two give up.

Gotta have a bite of the specials, right?

It can be listed as a special dish by Tongfu Restaurant's main restaurant, but it makes them very itchy.

Liu Jingxian nodded affirmatively: "This dish only takes half a day. If you order it now, you can eat it in the evening."

After speaking, Liu Jing paused for a moment: "However, I have to remind you two of one thing."

"This bun is not a drawer of a hundred sticks, but a drawer of a hundred sticks."

"As for the size..."

Liu Jingxian stretched out his hand, clenched it into a fist, and showed it to the two of them with the tiger's mouth facing up: "It's about the size of my fist, and it's about the size of a normal bun."

The kings of Baekje and Silla fell silent.

The size of a normal bun?
But... they don't know how big a normal bun is, and they have never eaten such a thing.Silla and Baekje, the two impoverished places, cannot come up with so many new tricks.

"It's expensive." The King of Baekje thought about it, and said slowly, "Then give me eight."

Although he had never eaten steamed stuffed buns, after coming to Datang, he ate a lot of pancakes. He estimated his appetite, and carefully ordered as much as he could finish.

The king of Silla was kind, and said the same thing: "Give me eight too."

"However... Since you can only eat steamed buns at night, you should order some other dishes at noon."

"As for the drinks..."

"Is there any Yu Jingqiu here? If so, give me a catty."

The King of Baekje was reminded, and hurriedly shouted: "Give me a catty too."

Then I ordered some side dishes and two bowls of rice.

While talking to Liu Jingxian, they took out banknotes from their pockets.

What they used was the banknotes produced by the gambling houses in Jiu'er's hands, and it was Li Shimin who asked the two of them to do so.

No matter how small the two countries, Baekje and Silla, are extremely poor, the wealth of a country is also an astonishing figure.

Both of their kings sold their country for a good sum.

And not only their own country, but also some treasures such as gold and silver, pearls and agates, were also sold to Datang. Now they have a net worth of millions of Tang coins.

Datang was very satisfied with their attitude, he didn't need to divide any power or title, and he didn't wrong the two people in terms of money.

They are also very satisfied that they can still get so much money.

To say...the only problem is that Datang can't give them so much money at one time, and they can get it out, but it will inevitably hurt their muscles and bones.

So in the imperial court, some people thought about it, isn't there Duke Zhengyang?

Wouldn't it be nice to have Yin Xuan print a few more banknotes?
Li Shimin was a little hesitant, always felt that this was like giving this large sum of money to Yin Xuan, but he had no other choice, so he agreed.

Li Shimin euphemistically told Yin Xuan about this matter, and Yin Xuan also responded very simply.

The two kings were worried about how to submit a certificate to Yin Xuan, and how to get in touch with Zhengyang Gong. When they heard Datang's proposal, they agreed happily.

Money is money anyway.

Most of them were exchanged for banknotes, and only [-] to [-] copper coins were left at home.It's not that they are so relieved of Datang.

It's just... They were imprisoned a lot in Datang, and they had so much money, but they were not allowed to do business and trade, and it was useless to keep so much cash.

It's better to exchange Zhengyang Gong's favor.

The one who was most satisfied with this matter was Yin Xuan, and for a moment he couldn't figure out how much he had earned.Bullying these people who don't understand financial concepts... is really embarrassing.

Liu Jing counted the money first, then suddenly he was taken aback, looking at the two people: "You two guests, it seems that you have given too much money."

"I gave an extra thousand strings."

The King of Baekje and the King of Silla looked at each other with some doubts, and one of them said, "This...pre-ordered dishes, don't you need to pay in advance?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, ready to receive the excessive one thousand bills.

Liu Jingxian was a little surprised: "You two guests, you also want Buddha Jumping over the Wall?"

The two of them nodded quite naturally: "It's natural."

Liu Jing took the banknotes back first: "In this case, the two guests are just right."

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief and began to wait patiently for their dishes to be served.

There were customers squinting at them from the side, and they were secretly surprised that this move...was not a general generosity, even the little old men in the restaurant who claimed to be petty officials but couldn't see where they came from were not as generous as them.

A scholar at the next table couldn't hold back and asked, "You two... aren't from Tang Dynasty?"

These words made the two kings tremble in their hearts.

During this time, they have heard too many such words.And often when they hear this sentence, they will be kicked out by others.

"Yes, yes, we are from the Tang Dynasty." The king of Silla hurriedly opened his mouth to defend himself.

As he spoke, he paused for a moment, and his voice became weak: "That's right... the two of us have just entered Tang nationality, not yet one month old."

The scholar waved his hand, slightly dissatisfied: "What kind of Tang people are you?"

"It's amazing to be considered a Tang native, and it's still much worse than a Tang native." Another scholar also shook his head, and his tone was also somewhat dissatisfied.

The two kings became even more flustered.

But... the customers of Tongfu Restaurant are all literate and educated, so they won't be so radical.

"How did you get into the Tang nationality?" A person asked curiously, "I remember that it is still difficult to get into the Tang nationality?"

The requirements for becoming a Tang nationality are getting higher and higher.

If you are a literati, if you want to be admitted to the Tang Dynasty, you can take the imperial examination-if you can leave your name on any list of the imperial examination, you can get the Tang nationality.

If the procedures are troublesome, the country cannot issue a certificate, cannot go through the procedures, and will not take the imperial examination.

If you can publish an academic paper in a magazine, and then check your character, you can also get Tang nationality.

If it's a warrior...

That's more troublesome than a literati. You have to have a good record before you can become a Tang citizen and become a Tang native.

Over the years, very few people have been able to meet this requirement, and many people are unwilling to give up—especially magazines, which have become the only pursuit of those foreigners who want to become a member of the Tang Dynasty.

But... Few Tang people can publish academic papers in magazines, let alone those foreigners who are not in the Tongfu Academy.

There is no imperial examination this year, these magazines, these scholars are all following them, and there are no academic papers by foreigners.

As for the warriors...

The Tang Dynasty went to war with Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje, but I haven't heard of any famous generals in that place.
