In the eighteenth year of Zhenguan, Li Jue, who transmigrated and became the son of the废太子 (cancelled crown prince) Li Chengqian, secretly returned to the longed-for Chang'an from Qianzho...
"The only problem is that my family can't afford that much money. Otherwise, I would definitely rent a window here and sell our family's traditional soup noodles!"
"This...this..."
Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this; he never imagined that it could be done this way!
If what this guy said is true, then Li Jue's grandson not only didn't spend a single penny of his own money building this food city, but actually made tens of thousands of strings of cash!
However, what shocked Li Shimin even more was not this. After all, the food court had not yet opened. Once it opened, this grandson could still earn half of the profits from these merchants every month!
Compared to this, the tens of thousands of strings of cash from before are actually small change!
Could this grandson really be Tao Zhugong reincarnated, born to be a businessman?
Li Shimin ultimately couldn't resist the temptation of hundreds of delicacies, and ordered Zhang Anan to exchange for a bunch of bamboo tokens, happily ordering food in the food court.
In no time, the food he ordered filled two long tables!
The waiters nearby were stunned by the sight, thinking to themselves, "This is a distinguished guest!"
"Sir, our rice wine is also quite good. Would you like to try some?"
"Give me a pot!"
"My esteemed guest, our humble shop's pickled duck is also quite good. Would you like to try one?"
"Give me one!"
"My lord, we..."
At the waiter's insistence on recommending dishes, Li Shimin ordered another table full of food and then invited all his guards to sit down and eat and drink.
"Don't be shy, just like we were on the battlefield back then!"
"promise!"
Li Shimin ate his meal for half an hour before finally wiping his lips with satisfaction and leaving.
He just asked a question casually when he got to the door.
"Ananda, how much did it cost for the dozen or so of us to eat and drink?"
Li Shimin was not concerned about how much a meal cost. He asked the question simply to assess the price level of this food court and see if the common people of the Tang Dynasty could afford it.
"Your Majesty, it cost less than three strings of cash in total..."
"What?"
"I just ordered quite a lot of meat dishes and drinks, enough for three large tables, and it only cost this little?"
"Your Majesty, didn't we already get a 20% discount...?"
"Isn't it only a few hundred coins more?"
"My lord, an ordinary person's meal costs at most 10 or 20 coins, but for ten of us, it cost more than 3 strings of cash!"
"this……"
Li Shimin smiled awkwardly upon hearing this.
"That's quite a lot!"
"But this grandson's price is reasonable enough; the people of our Great Tang can afford it, hahaha!"
