Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

"Now, how dare we drink this wine again?"

"We are leaving, Mr. Li, goodbye!"

Seeing them like this, Li Qiu hastily returned the gift, "Everyone, take care!"

"You must return safely!"

After walking out of this street corner, these soldiers completely disappeared from Li Qiu's sight.

Everyone couldn't help but sighed at the same time.

"Oh, what a fine wine! But I can't drink it."

"Even if he died on the battlefield over there this time, if he could shoot Sirius with a single mouthful, he would still be able to rest in peace."

"Who said no?!"

"I'm afraid you don't know. When I was talking to Mr. Li just now, I smelled the aroma of the wine, and the saliva in my mouth flowed straight down."

"In the end, I didn't dare to speak at all, for fear of being seen by Mr. Li, I would make a joke of it."

His words also attracted the echo of several people around him, "Don't worry, brother, you are not alone."

"Hey, I'm afraid I won't be able to drink it again in my life!"

There were also people who cursed heavily, "It's all the fault of that shitty King of Shu."

"On the one hand, he said that he wanted to invite everyone to drink, but on the other hand, he didn't pay any money, forcing Mr. Li to offer him the wine for free."

"Mr. Li refused, so he smashed other people's shops, and even killed Mr. Li."

"How can you say there are such brazen people in the world?"

"that is!"

"It must not have been easy for Mr. Li to brew up the ability to shoot Sirius."

"This wine is given to so many people to drink every day, at least one jar is worth it."

"There are quite a lot of Yuzi Tongpao for the children to eat."

"And those who help neighbors on weekdays?"

"You said how little profit can he make in such a small shop?"

"You are a majestic king of Shu, you are really shameless!"

Not only these soldiers, but also the common people in the city refused to take another sip of the wine that Li Qiu gave them.

However, as usual, they came to the door of the small shop, had a few words with Li Qiu, and chatted a little about homework.

At the same time, you can smell the aroma of wine and vegetables.

And in the daily discussions of these common people, it has become a daily necessity to scold the king of Shu, Li Ke.

That Mr. Li is such a good person, you are so unreasonable, bullying others, taking advantage of the common people.

If you smash up someone's shop, you will kill someone else.

Looking back at his face at that time, it was really disgusting.

More importantly, he harmed the people in the entire Chang'an city without shooting Sirius to drink.

This kind of resentment will accumulate over time, how big is it?

The more delicious the shooting of Sirius is, the stronger this resentment will be.

How could Li Ke, who was confined in the mansion, not know these strong repercussions from the people and the military?

Ever since, he was so angry that his eyes were tearing apart, and he jumped into a rage.

But in a short period of time, he couldn't do anything, so he could only feel depressed.

Chapter 21 Overwhelming country and city, such a beautiful girl

In this way, more than ten days passed, everything was safe and sound, and Li Qiu's life gradually returned to normal and peaceful.

As a result, he became interested and launched several new dishes in his small restaurant.

Mapo tofu, fish-flavored shredded pork, spicy chicken, Maoxuewang.

Undoubtedly, without Wei Zheng, Wang Gui, Wei Ting, and Feng Li became the first group of diners.

After tasting these four dishes, the three of them were naturally full of praise.

Numb, crispy and spicy, this dish that absolutely stimulates the senses, the feeling it brings to them can only be described as shocking.

At the same time, they really don't understand how this kid Li Qiu has come up with so many crooked ways and come up with so many unusual dishes.

On the other hand, Wang Gui, sweating profusely, bared his teeth and drank cold water, while criticizing and teaching Li Qiu with a stern and pedantic face.

It is said that he obviously has the talent to govern the country, but he puts all his energy and talent on making money and being a cook.

It's simply reckless, outrageous, unreasonable!

Seeing him nagging non-stop, Feng Li at the side glanced at him with a mouthful.

"I said Master Wang, you are the one scolding Li Qiu at the moment, but you are also the one who likes these dishes the most."

"There are not a few pieces of this spicy chicken left. If you don't eat it, I'll put it in my bowl..."

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Gui immediately shut up and grabbed a few more chopsticks into his bowl.

"Who says I won't eat?"

"On the contrary, these dishes are too yang. General Feng, you are a martial arts practitioner, and you are already very angry. You should eat less, so as not to get a fever."

……

In addition to entertaining them, Li Qiu also made a large pot of Mapo Tofu and placed it at the door of the shop.

There was also plenty of rice and a whole bunch of small dishes.

Neighbors and people in the city are invited to taste it for free.

After the last incident with the King of Shu, these simple people naturally declined Li Qiu's sincere invitation in every possible way.

On the other hand, the children nearby were eager to try it, drooling at the smell of Mapo Tofu.

Li Qiu also smiled and greeted them to come and have a taste.

Afterwards, there was a picture of a group of children sweating profusely while exhaling, shouting that it was delicious and wanting to eat it.

Regarding their little wishes, Li Qiu naturally did not hesitate, and continued to serve them a plate of rice, two small pieces of tofu and soup.

Of course, seeing them like this, they are usually pulled away by their parents before they continue to ask for it.

Before leaving, he did not forget to salute Li Qiu respectfully and politely.

His eyes were full of reluctance.

Driven by this group of children, some adults simply let go and came forward to taste the perfect match of rice and mapo tofu.

When the spicy and delicious refreshing feeling enters the mouth, the shock it brings to everyone is unbelievable.

In this way, Li Qiu's small shop became famous in Beijing again because of the mapo tofu.

Even some people around Chang'an City, after hearing about it, would not hesitate to travel a long way to come here just to taste such a small dish of rice and two mouthfuls of mapo tofu.

Nowadays, no one is willing to drink the Sirius wine for free, so Li Qiu makes such a pot of mapo tofu every day and puts it outside the door for people to taste.

There is only one pot every day, and if you run out of food, you will have to wait until tomorrow.

As the reputation of Li Qiu's shop grew, especially after the introduction of these new dishes, more and more royal relatives and nobles came here to eat every day.

As for Li Qiu's small shop, it stands to reason that the interior space is quite spacious.

However, since the King of Shu incident, Li Qiu took the opportunity to modify it.

Turn such a huge area into only four and a half small halls.

Anyway, the food and drinks in his store are so expensive, the audience is still limited.

After that, Li Qiu used the business model of rare goods and living, and he always had to reserve tables in advance for meals.

In the Tang Dynasty in 625 AD, how could this relatively simple world stand up to this kind of marketing method that is very effective in later generations?

Therefore, driven by everyone's novelty-seeking psychology, Li Qiu's small shop's reputation reached a high value.

A table during this meal time has already been booked a few days later.

And the level of guests who came to eat has also been rising all the way.

On this day, Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Duke Ying came to the store with his daughter.

This is the highest level of guests who have really come to dine since Li Qiu's small shop opened, except for Changsun Wuji and Shu King Li Ke.

Naturally, Li Qiu wanted a good reception.

"The boy has met Ying Guogong."

"Grandpa Guo came here, it really makes the small shop flourish."

"I don't know what the Duke would like to eat?"

The warrior Xun looked at Li Qiu carefully, and nodded involuntarily.

"I also always hear Mr. Wang Guiwang mentioning you and your shop, so I came here to have a look out of curiosity."

"You are indeed handsome, you are full of intelligence."

"Since you've already come here, let's have a portion of all the good dishes you have here, as well as the Sky Wolf."

"Don't worry, I am a reasonable person, and I will pay for meals!"

The last sentence of the warrior Xun was clearly mocking the Shu king Li Ke in a disguised form.

People like the samurai Xun are all close to the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan.

Since Li Shimin ascended the throne, he has also been invisible.

The vast majority have also been removed from important positions.

The minister of the Ministry of Industry, like Samurai Yu, is quite special. First, this position is relatively remote and marginal.

Second, he was born as a samurai lumber merchant and specialized in business. It was difficult to find a suitable replacement for him for a while, so he temporarily kept this position.

People like Li Ke who are rebellious, keen to use tactics, and scheming, probably don't show enough respect to the samurai Xun on weekdays.

This is how the samurai Xun satirized Li Ke today.

Moreover, in the Tang Dynasty, people still advocated various virtues such as benevolence, justice and integrity.

Even if there is no previous festival, I am afraid that many people feel ashamed of Li Ke's actions.

Such a sentence from the warrior Xun came so suddenly and unexpectedly that Li Qiu couldn't help being amused.

Then he saluted with a smile, turned and left to give instructions to the kitchen.

During the whole process, Li Qiu really secretly took a hard look at the girl next to the warrior Xun.

This girl is really beautiful!

Cardamom Nianhua, about thirteen or fourteen years old, with bright teeth and light teeth, bright eyes like lakes, icy skin and jade skin, and breath like orchids.

The hands are slender, the shoulders are shaved, and the waist is plain.

Jingzhu does not move and condenses the eyebrows, and the lead is gone to see the innocence.

It can be said that it is as bright as spring flowers and as bright as the autumn moon.

No matter in the previous life or in this life, this is definitely the most impressive and beautiful girl Li Qiu has ever seen.

Until this time, he finally understood why in ancient times, a girl in her prime would be described as an all-powerful girl!

Chapter 22 Whose family has a young girl who grows up, a generation of empress Wu Zetian

When peeking at this girl, Li Qiu was naturally cautious.

But he still had a vague feeling that his concealed and excellent behavior still couldn't escape the girl's abnormally agile eyes full of aura.

Of course, it stands to reason that on this occasion, no matter how beautiful the girl is, Li Qiu wouldn't be so eager to sneak a peek at her.

There are more important reasons behind this.
