The next morning.
Zhuang Zhou got up, washed up, and then went out for breakfast.
Then I drove to pick up Qian Duoduo. Today is Saturday, so fortunately this guy could help me.
But as soon as they met, Qian Duoduo pursed his lips and sighed:
"Boss Zhuang, you need to change your car!"
"What's wrong?"
"If you're driving for yourself, it's fine, but if you want to do business, it's not very impressive."
Zhuang Zhou really didn't understand much of this and asked Qian Duoduo to get in the car.
I listened to Qian Duoduo say a lot:
"When a man goes out to do business, a nice car, to put it bluntly, is his face."
"If you want others to do business with you, you have to let them see your strength."
“…”
So, Qian Duoduo discussed the direct relationship between "doing business" and "good cars".
Hearing this, Zhuang Zhou nodded in agreement repeatedly.
When doing business, Chinese people pay attention to circles and connections.
Everyone is gathering with luxury cars, and if you drive a shabby little car, it will inevitably be difficult to fit in.
Therefore, many CEOs will try to find ways to get loans to buy a nice car to show off even in the early stages of starting a business.
After all, this is how society works.
Zhuang Zhou also felt that what Qian Duoduo said made sense.
I agreed immediately and decided to pick up a nice car after I finished my work today.
And at this time.
Chang'an City, inside Taiji Palace.
After the morning court session, Li Er called several trusted ministers together to discuss matters.
At the court meeting today, Li Er had already mentioned that the pigs needed to be castrated.
Then he also mentioned what Zhuang Zhou said, that pigs must be castrated so that they can grow meat.
Moreover, the smell of a slaughtered pig is less.
Wait until Li Er has said it one by one.
The ministers in the hall had already looked extremely shocked.
When did Your Majesty understand this?
Then.
Li Er mentioned sweet potatoes again, saying that this thing could prevent the people of the Tang Dynasty from going hungry again.
The court officials were immediately in an uproar.
So after the grand court meeting ended, Li Er called several loyal ministers to discuss matters.
A set of exquisite glass cups undoubtedly attracted the attention of the ministers present.
Zhangsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, and Gao Shilian all looked at each other, their eyes revealing a peerless treasure.
Li Er felt more and more proud, and then asked someone to make tea and fill a cup for each minister.
At this time Fang Xuanling spoke first and asked:
"Your Majesty! This tea has always been brewed, but I've never seen it brewed like this."
After Fang Xuanling finished speaking, the others nodded in agreement.
These people also drink tea on weekdays.
But it’s just some cinnamon, aniseed, onion, ginger, garlic and the like boiled in water, and then the water is poured out and drunk.
If you have the conditions at home, you can also add some pepper.
It can be said that it is completely different from what later generations called drinking tea.
Li Er did not answer, but smiled and said:
"Don't be impatient, Xuanling. Try it first."
Fang Xuanling was skeptical and picked up the exquisite glass cup to examine it carefully.
I have to say, this glass cup is really exquisite.
It's just that the tea in this cup looks a little weird.
But immediately afterwards, Fang Xuanling brought it to his nose and sniffed it gently.
Um?
A rich fragrance lingers.
Very comfortable!
Then I took another sip of the tea, and it tasted really wonderful.
"Your Majesty, what is the name of this tea?"
Fang Xuanling couldn't help but ask.
Li Er smiled and said, "This tea is called Jin Jun Mei."
"Where is it produced?"
"I don't know that either."
Seeing this, the other ministers also raised their glasses and took a sip.
Everyone's face showed joy.
“What a great tea!”
"Yes, it tastes sweet and mellow, with a long-lasting aroma."
"Mm, it's really good tea!"
Li Er was very happy to hear the ministers' endless praises.
On weekdays, he often gathered everyone together to discuss state affairs.
But most of the time, it's just dry chatting without any drinks to accompany it.
Now that they have this tea, everyone's mood seems to have suddenly become much higher.
Only then did Li Er pick up the teacup and take a sip.
Although he had drunk this kind of tea before, he couldn't help but feel that it tasted mellow when he drank it again.
"May I ask, Your Majesty, where did you get this tea?"
Changsun Wuji couldn't help but ask.
Li Er felt that there was nothing that could not be said.
But when I thought about the fact that Zhuang Zhou had attracted so many girls, I felt secretly unhappy.
But Li Er didn't intend to hide the information about Zhuangji Grocery Store.
He spoke directly:
"This was obtained by me from a store called Zhuangji Grocery Store in the West Market of Chang'an."
"Zhuang's Grocery Store?"
Several ministers were stunned.
They looked at each other, as if neither of them had heard of this store.
Li Er then remembered that he seemed not to have told them about this shop yet.
So he told the story about sweet potatoes again.
Of course, Li Er also did not forget the pig-raising idea that Zhuang Zhou told him.
If the pigs can be castrated, the mutton smell can be removed and the growth of the pigs can be promoted.
Wait until the sweet potatoes are grown.
It can not only be eaten by humans, but also used to feed pigs.
By then, all the people of the Tang Dynasty will be able to eat meat.
So Li Er also expressed this meaning.
"Your Majesty, we believe that if these sweet potatoes are really as good as Zhuang Zhou said, then they can solve the problem of food shortage."
