Chapter 17 Procurement
After calling Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin to leave, Li Chengqian stopped wandering and went straight to the destination of the jerky.
Regarding the purpose of this banquet, Li Chengqian was very clear, that is, to take this opportunity to unite the relationship within the royal family, not only to invite parents, but also to call all younger brothers and sisters to attend together, so that Duoduo will not be too unfamiliar with the gathering together. Only with family affection can harmony be maintained to the maximum extent. Although it is a bit difficult to maintain harmony within the royal family, after all, many things cannot be decided by yourself. Some things you are unwilling to do, and the interest groups represented behind will also promote the development of things, but no matter what, emotional matters must be cultivated bit by bit. Who knows what happens in the future?
Not only that, Li Chengqian also planned to ask some friends who could develop into friends to join. Only by uniting and many people around him can he face everything calmly. Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin are the targets that can be developed.
As the prince, it was not easy for Li Chengqian to make friends, at least he had no friends so far. This was too lonely. Even if his father is now the king of a country, no one dared to make friends with him now. However, before he ascended the throne, there were many friends. They were all revolutionary friendships established in the army and were very precious.
Li Chengqian has not been to the army yet. Without this convenience, he can only start from life. It has been good since he cooks food. The power of food has always been huge and cannot be underestimated.
When I arrived at the butcher shop, there happened to be a fat pig that had just been hung up. Li Chengqian immediately bought it. The butcher who was about to deal with it naturally agreed with a smile on his face. As for whether he could afford it, there was no need to ask. Just look at the clothes and accessories worn by these people, you will know that the young man from a wealthy family must be given to the people when he returned to buy pork.
He loaded the whole pig onto the carriage, and then loaded all the pig's trotters processed in the store under the strange gaze of the butcher. Then he picked some pigs and went out.
Looking at the butcher's smile at the last time, Li Chengqian knew that he was wondering how he arranged himself. He must have thought that this guy was too inhumane and even bought anyone to go back to eat for the servants. However, Li Chengqian didn't care. You don't know the deliciousness of these things now. When your restaurant is renovated and the chef is trained, you will know how popular this thing is. At that time, these things are in short supply.
"Your Highness, what are you going to do when you buy a pig?" Cheng Chumo asked curiously.
"Eat, what else can I do? I'm dead after not watching it? Can I dig a hole and bury it if I don't eat it?" Li Chengqian said casually.
"Is the East Palace so nervous in finance? Is there no mutton and chicken? Why do you still have to eat the dirty thing of pig? If the financial situation is really tight, then I still have some money here. It's still okay to invite you to a big meal." Cheng Chumo said.
"What are you saying? Can you still lack food in the East Palace? You don't know how delicious this pork is. When you two follow me back today, I'll try to make a delicious meal for you. Keep it safe and you can eat your tongue." Li Chengqian invited.
"Isn't it appropriate to have dinner in the East Palace at night?" Cheng Chumo said.
At this age, he is still the eldest son of his family, and has been taught by his elders long ago. Don’t take sides too early. The things that follow are not certain. If you can participate in the royal affairs, you can participate in the less, otherwise you may be involved at any time.
At the same time, Yuchi Baolin nodded in agreement. His family also educated him, and didn't care about anything else. Their Yuchi family has already achieved their current achievements. As long as they follow the emperor in the future, they will definitely be correct.
"What's the matter? The older generation often gathers. We can do it, just send someone back and talk. If you don't go today, you will miss the delicious food. I will also tell Your Majesty, and that's it." Li Chengqian said as the leader.
It wasn't that they were asking them to stand on the side, but Li Chengqian felt that living in the palace and without a single friend would be too lonely to live like this. The eldest sons of them would have to inherit the glory of their fathers in the future. They can't make decisions now and are just at the right time to do nothing, so they can make friends.
Then Li Chengqian refused to give them a chance to talk again and said, "Now we will go to the pharmacy and live together. We still need to prepare when we go back."
In today's era, it's right to find seasonings to go to the pharmacy. Cinnamon, tangerine peel, star anise, grass fruit, pepper, and these spices have always been widely used as herbs in traditional Chinese medicine. There are all these things there.
Under the strange eyes of the shopkeeper of the pharmacy, the group filled a lot of spices. They ignored the shopkeeper's attentive advice and these were medicinal materials and could not be used casually. The monarch and ministers used the left hand and the dosage of the paired food. Li Chengqian thought to himself, what do you know? These things are not available in any cooking family in the future. They are always things, and I have never heard of any food that is bad.
In fact, not only the pharmacy shopkeeper was surprised, but even the accompanying staff didn't understand what their prince bought so many medicinal materials for.
Cheng Chumo, who is not very different in age, has become a question-asking machine for everyone.
"Didn't you say you want to cook? Why do you still have to buy medicinal materials? Do you have to use these medicinal materials to cook?"
"Shouldn't you be curious if I can cook?" Li Chengqian said. He thought this question would be raised first, but he didn't expect that no one would ask for it for a long time.
"What? You cooked the food you asked us to have?" Cheng Chumo said in surprise. He always thought it was made by the chef of the East Palace.
"Of course I'll do it, what will those cooks do? I haven't made it before, can you eat what you make?" Li Chengqian said for granted.
He thought so himself, but not the others present.
If they wanted to be a chef in the palace, they would have many years of experience. Even if they made it with their feet, they would be much better than the prince who had been pampered since childhood. At least they would not eat badly, but the prince would not make it. Now they would be a little scared when they looked at these medicinal herbs again.
"Uh, your highness, are you sure you are cooking tonight?" Cheng Chumo asked again without giving up.
"Yes, didn't you say it!"
"Then can I choose not to eat?"
"No, I just agreed."
Hearing this, Cheng Chumo suddenly felt a little overwhelmed. He said it at the time, wasn’t it your own decision? Where did we have the opportunity to refuse?
Cheng Chumo said to Yuchi Baolin who was watching from the side and right, "It seems that we are going to test the drug today, and I hope it's nothing serious."
"It's okay if you don't eat it. There will always be some pastries in the kitchen, which can still hungry you." Yuchi Baolin was not worried at all.
"Yes, we won't eat it then. Can we still stuff it into our mouths?" Cheng Chumo made up his mind to take a look at it at that time and refused to eat it.
Li Chengqian was right next to them, and he heard what they said, but he didn't say anything. He thought to himself that he hoped you could hold it back.
There are many people in the Xicheng City in Chang'an City, and everywhere is bustling. Although it is not as crowded as one after another, it is still full of people. Fortunately, the place is big enough and the road is wide enough, otherwise the carriage is really difficult to walk.
When Li Chengqian and the others went out, they passed by the store selling eggs just now and found that it had been blocked. Qianshan went to inquire about it. It was a person from Linghe Chang'an County, Xishi City. They checked the eggs in the store by Li Chengqian. They found that the problem was indeed serious, so they blocked the store. The owner was also arrested by Chang'an County. In the end, at least it was fined and educated. If the owner didn't care, he might have to be in prison for a few days.
Wei Zheng watched this matter, but he couldn't escape. Li Chengqian didn't have to worry about it.
