Chapter 295 Drinking



Li Xian, Wang Ping'an and Fang Zhao each held a small golden hammer and kept hitting the big lobsters that were as long as their arms, and then they switched to big crabs.

After Li Xian took a sip of rice wine to get rid of the lobster meat in his mouth, he looked at the lobsters on the plate and said, "It seems that they are not as big as those in the South China Sea. Fang Zan, are you trying to fool your uncle?"

Fang Numa rolled his eyes, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and said, "This is a South China Sea lobster, and it's the largest one. There's nothing we can do. The more we catch them, the smaller they become. Now the gentleman is ready to issue a catch limit order."

Wang Pingan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Not really?"

Fang Numa explained: "It's not a comprehensive fishing ban, but it only limits the types and times of fishing. It's mainly for the breeding season of various seafood. Whales and sharks are not included in the fishing ban. After all, their appetites are too big, which means they are competing with us for food. Naturally, the fewer the better."

Wang Ping'an nodded and said, "That's fine. The sea is now our Tang Dynasty's pasture. If we want to use it for a long time, we should make preparations early. If we wait until the seafood production drops significantly before we go back to manage it, it will be a little too late."

Li Xian raised his glass to signal the two of them, and said, "Let's not talk about that, let's drink first. I'm free now, so I have to have a good drink. Let's try the feeling of drinking."

"It's easy to make some samples, but there's still a long way to go if we want to produce in large quantities. The main thing is that your majesty has kept a tight grip on the secret method. If the secret method is spread out and merchants can see that it's profitable, and everyone works together to study it, it should be much faster."

Fang Numa only took a small sip and asked in surprise, "Has Your Highness never had a drink yet?"

Li Xian walked out while saying, "Bring up whatever you have. The Lingnan breakfast portions are small anyway, so it's okay to have more. If you can't finish it, you can give it to the servants."

Fang Zhao yawned loudly and said, "It should be a common saying in our Yuzhou area. I have never heard of it before, but I did hear it mentioned once by the teacher some time ago.

Li Xian shook his head and said, "You don't need to accompany me. Just take care of your own business. We are going to go to Hong Kong today to have a look. But you can send someone to inform Zhang Gou first, so as to avoid any unforeseen circumstances when we arrive there."

Li Xian was just a bit careless. After Fang Zumuo brought up the high-proof sake, Li Xian slipped under the table before finishing two taels.

Hearing the noise, Wang Pingan and Fang Zhao also woke up one after another.

Li Xian turned around and smiled at the two of them: "Haha, being drunk is not as uncomfortable as you say. I feel refreshed now."

"Then I have to get drunk first." Li Xian said, took a big gulp of rice wine, and then shouted: "This is not satisfying, let's try some strong sake."

Fang Numa stood up and said, "I sent someone to inform Junior Brother yesterday. You should be able to find him anytime you go over there. Don't worry. By the way, what do you want for breakfast?"

Fang Zhao wanted to go out and find someone to serve Li Xian, but was stopped by Wang Ping'an, "This matter should not be known to others, lest it get to the ears of His Majesty and your master."

The two of them lifted Li Xian up and laid him down on the sofa. Then, without leaving, Fang Zhao took out a few blankets from under the sofa and went to rest in the room.

"What should we do then?"

After listening to what the two said, Fang Numa thought for a moment and said, "Actually, being a little dizzy is enough. Being drunk is not pleasant. I got drunk once, and I never drank that much again."

Wang Pingan smiled and said first: "I have never drunk freely either."

Speak first, I don't have time to accompany you. The Grand Administrator's Office cannot do without people, so the most I can do is send someone to serve you."

"We just need to carry him to the sofa. And we can prepare some tea."

After breakfast, Fang Zhao prepared a carriage for the two of them. Li Xian saw that it was a sunny day today, so he asked, "Let's arrange an open carriage. It's a good opportunity to see Bao'an City."

Your Highness, you should drink less in the future. It’s okay to talk more, but if you accidentally drink too much and vomit, you will suffer. It’s not good for your health.

Fang Zhao pushed the small steamer towards Li Xian and said, "Hehe, if your highness likes it, you can eat more. We won't have such fresh seafood to eat when we return to Lingqu."

Then the three of them went back to their rooms to wash and change clothes. When they came back after a while, the table was already filled with various breakfasts.

Wang Pingan sat on the sofa and pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "That means you have to drink just the right amount, and you have to be in a good mood. I've seen people become more worried the more they drink, and when they are drunk they talk a lot. There's a saying that goes, 'Drinking and talking brings disaster,' and that's how it came about."

Fang Zhao walked to the door, opened it, and shouted a few times. Immediately, someone came in to clean up the leftovers from last night.

What are your plans for today?

The next day, Li Xian got up first. After stretching his body on the sofa, he got up and opened the window.

Wang Ping'an took a sip.

Li Xian raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why haven't I heard of this before? Where did this saying come from?"

Sitting in the carriage, Li Xian touched the cotton pad under him and sighed: "The cement road in Bao'an City is indeed better than the stone road in Chang'an City. The carriage is not so bumpy. I don't know how long it will take for the gym to fix the springs."

"Hehe, the palace has many rules. I didn't have the chance before because I was young. After the master returned to the court in the past two years, he has been more particular about eating only a little. I have never been drunk. At most, I was a little dizzy."

Li Xian smiled and did not respond. This was a disagreement between his master and his father, and it was not appropriate for Li Xian to say more.

The master is a saint, so he focuses on eternity and all the people in the world. His father is the emperor, and he cares more about the Li Tang dynasty. In Li Xian's view, neither is wrong, they just have different positions.

Bao'an County has not changed much and is still as prosperous as before. It has expanded a hundred feet outside the city. This speed proves that Bao'an County has almost reached a bottleneck and its development has slowed down.

An hour later, the two approached Hong Kong under the escort of the Imperial Guards.

Looking at the rows of brick houses and the busy construction site, Li Xian smiled. "This place is still five miles away from the dock, but the construction has already started. It seems that we should be able to get back half of the 50 million."
