In the palace.
Li Shimin finished dealing with government affairs.
It was rare for him to eat a bowl of sour vinegar noodle soup.
But when the noodle soup was served, Li Shimin couldn't help but twitch his nose slightly and ask, "Xiao Guizi."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
"Isn't this side missing something?"
How could Xiao Guizi not know what was missing?
But it was related to the Crown Prince's reputation, so he didn't know what to say for a while. But Li Shimin didn't care so much. He slapped the table and said, "Tell me, what's wrong with Imperial Chef Zhou?"
"Your Majesty, it's not the fault of the imperial kitchen. It's because the vinegar is gone …"
Li Shimin was confused. .
"Isn't the vinegar delivered to the palace every day? Why is it gone? What do the people in the Imperial Household Department do? Send an edict. The salary of the people in the Imperial Household Department will be deducted for one month! "
Xiao Guizi was in charge of the Imperial Household Department. How could he bear such grievances at this time?
He hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, it's not the Imperial Household Department's fault. There's no more vinegar in the whole of Chang 'an."
"Huh?"
Li Shimin was so angry that he laughed. .
This was the first time he heard that the vinegar could be used.
"Tell me, and I'll pardon you!"
Xiao Guizi heard and told Li Shimin everything that happened in Chang 'an City today. After that, Li Shimin was completely confused.
He couldn't wrap his head around it.
"You mean, the Crown Prince and the others suddenly appeared and then crazily bought vinegar in Chang 'an City?"
Xiao Guizi was already dripping with cold sweat. But at this time, the Emperor was asking, so how could he dare not to say it?
He hurriedly said, "Yes, it's true."
Li Shimin fiddled with the vinegar noodle soup without vinegar and laughed angrily. "This is the funniest joke I've heard this year. How big is Chang 'an City? Can they buy all the vinegar in Chang' an City with just a few people? Are they going to open a vinegar factory? "
Li Shimin was so angry that he laughed.
But after laughing for a while, he suddenly realized something and hurriedly asked, "Let me ask you, did the Crown Prince say that he was going to Chang 'an University to do an experiment this morning?"
"Your Majesty, that is indeed the case."
This time, Li Shimin finally understood.
However, he was also a little worried.
He knew better than anyone what Chang 'an University was doing.
That's to do phosphate fertilizer experiments!
Furthermore, this phosphate fertilizer was poisonous. Even the strong and healthy Niu Jinda had been poisoned by it. This Crown Prince …
Was he poisoned as well?
He suddenly remembered that when Zhang Feng treated Niu Jinda and the others, the thing he used the most was this vinegar!
Could it be …
The Crown Prince and the others were poisoned?
This time, Li Shimin could no longer sit still.
But when he thought about it, it didn't make sense.
This shouldn't be the case if he was the first to discover it, right?
And how much vinegar would there be in the whole of Chang 'an?
A hundred jars?
A thousand jars?
What did they want the vinegar for?
Li Shimin waved his hand and asked, "Tell me, why do they want so much vinegar?"
Little Guizi felt a little wronged.
This afternoon, according to the usual practice, people from the Imperial Household Department went to the gate of the Imperial City to deal with those who planned to send ingredients to the Imperial Palace. However, vinegar was the only thing missing. After asking, they found out that when these people saw Li Chengqian and the others snatching the vinegar, they directly snatched all the vinegar in Chang 'an City!
Even the vinegar in their cars was snatched by the Crown Prince and the others.
If it were anyone else, Little Guizi could have sent them to prison with an order. However, this was done by the Crown Prince and the heir of the Duke. How could they dare?
In the end, they had no choice but to send out people to search Chang 'an City. However, after searching the entire Chang' an City, they couldn't find a single drop of vinegar!
However, it was almost time for the Emperor to eat. Little Guizi could only order some people to continue searching while some people hurried back to the palace with ingredients.
After Little Guizi explained the matter to Li Shimin, Li Shimin's face stiffened.
He couldn't say whether this matter was right or wrong.
You're wrong, right? That's because Li Chengqian and the others were in the wrong first. You're right, right? Without vinegar, how are they going to do business?
However, what interested Li Shimin the most was Zhang Feng's experiment.
He waved his hand and said, "Send a message to the Crown Prince and ask about his situation!"
In the end, Li Shimin could only do so. After all, although he was interested in the experiment, the Autumn Planting Worship Ceremony was about to be held. How could he have time to watch it?
He could only suppress this matter in his heart.
After all, the matter of the phosphate fertilizer was very important. Wasn't it just poison?
Zhang Feng even knew the Blood Transfusion Technique. How could this small matter be difficult for Zhang Feng?
While Li Shimin was eating vinegar-free noodles with a clear conscience, on the other side, Li Chengqian and the others were miserable.
They were in a tragic situation.
At this time, the few of them directly occupied the vinegar factory in Chang 'an City. With a huge vinegar jar behind them, each of them drank a mouthful of vinegar weakly.
Sometimes, when they burped, the vinegar could even be sprayed far away.
"Brother Qian, how much more do we want to drink?" Cheng Chumo asked, breaking down.
Li Chengqian burped as he looked down at the vinegar jar beside him with difficulty and said, "We have to drink at least one more jar! Otherwise, we'll lose our lives here! "
"…"
