Zhang Feng was very depressed.
He couldn't stay in the tavern any longer.
He didn't know where Old Madam Wang was cramping up. She came to him every two or three days and asked for his birth characters. She even said that next month would be an auspicious day.
However, Zhang Feng rejected her.
Today, he encountered such a thing again. How could Zhang Feng not be driven crazy?
He decided to go all the way. He closed the door and left. That way, he would have some peace and quiet.
The two of them sat in Li Shimin's sedan and slowly returned to the tavern.
As usual, Zhang Feng made a bowl of century egg porridge for Li Shimin.
This time, Li Shimin was stunned.
Looking at the century egg in the bowl, he asked curiously, "Brother Zhang Feng, this is …"
"Century egg!"
"Old Madam Wang always comes to me. Last month, she gave me a basket of duck eggs. I can't finish them all by myself, so I made them into century eggs for her. "
"What's a century egg?"
"Also, duck eggs, aren't they all very expensive now? This … "
Li Shimin was in a bad mood.
Looking at the black and translucent century egg, he asked.
Ordinary people would definitely not be willing to eat this egg. Moreover, as far as he knew, a duck egg or an egg could be sold for at least ten copper coins.
However, food was only six copper coins now.
Moreover, it was in such a serious situation.
"Sigh!"
Zhang Feng sighed heavily.
"Brother, there's something you don't know! Old Madam Wang would definitely not be willing to take out these eggs, let alone thirty of them. My boyfriend, who hasn't seen her for the New Year, secretly gave them to her and asked her to bring them! "
Zhang Feng was a little speechless.
Li Shimin suddenly understood.
Everything made sense now.
However, there was another problem.
That was the egg. What was it?
Although he had never doubted Zhang Feng's culinary skills, looking at the shiny black thing in the spoon, he really lost his appetite.
However, under Zhang Feng's instigation, he took out a whole century egg from the kitchen and ate it with relish in front of Li Shimin. He even drank a mouthful of wine.
This time, Li Shimin's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
He subconsciously took a bite of the century egg in his spoon, but in the next moment, he couldn't help but frown deeply.
This egg didn't have any strange taste, and it was very chewy.
This …
"Brother, this egg …"
"Don't ask, I won't tell you even if you ask!"
Zhang Feng directly interrupted Li Shimin.
"This is a treasure. This is something I'm preparing to present to the emperor when I enter the imperial court. Since you're here today, I'll let you have some. Let's make it clear first! You mustn't tell anyone about this, especially Chen Tieniu, Chong Buggy, Li Gan, and the others! "
Li Shimin pursed his lips.
He looked at Zhang Feng with a look of disdain.
However, Zhang Feng didn't even bother to look at him.
After a while, when Li Shimin carefully tasted a big bowl of bone-strengthening powder porridge, Zhang Feng mysteriously rubbed the door with his mouth and said, "Lao Li, see, I was right!"
"What was right?"
Li Shimin was dumbfounded.
"What else? This locust!"
"See what I told you? I told you to hurry up, but you didn't listen. Now, everything I guessed, the emperor also guessed. See if I guessed correctly, brother?"
What could Li Shimin say?
He gave him a thumbs up.
"You're awesome!"
"Sigh! It's a pity that this deal is over. I originally wanted to make a lot of money with you, and even let you get in touch with some high-ranking officials. Now, it seems that everything has been guessed correctly by the wise emperor. By the way, how's the bone-strengthening powder factory? "
"Well, we'll do it again."
Li Shimin touched his nose and pretended to be drinking.
What could he say?
He was sitting next to him now.
He was indeed a little unscrupulous in this matter.
But there was no other way, right?
Zhang Feng and his brother hadn't been confirmed yet, and he couldn't directly say when they would go to the imperial court.
Li Shimin couldn't help but ask, "Brother Zhang Feng, I heard Lord Zhangsun, the minister of the Ministry of Justice, say that there's a vacancy in the Ministry of Justice. You …"
"Old Sun told me about this before, but that bastard is unscrupulous! You should've said it when we were talking about it. He even took Lao Tzu's pot away! "
Zhang Feng was speechless.
"If I don't go to the Ministry of Justice, not only will I offend people, but I'll also be remembered."
"Let's not talk about this now. By the way, Lao Li, looking at you today, did something happen?"
Zhang Feng wanted to ask Li Shimin directly for the loss of the tricycle, but when he thought of Li Shimin's appearance, he couldn't bear to say it now.
It would've been better if Zhang Feng didn't say it, but once he said it, Li Shimin's face immediately turned red.
"Brother! You don't know! As your brother, I'm suffering! "
When Zhang Feng heard this, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"What kind of trouble did you encounter this time? I remember that you should've made a fortune by now, right? What else is there to worry about? "
"What can't be solved with a hundred catties of bone-strengthening powder? Don't tell me that the bone-strengthening powder in the palace wasn't made by you! "
"Do you know that the price of that stuff is now a hundred copper coins per catty? I'll only ask for this amount of money when the time comes! "
As he spoke, Zhang Feng stretched out his palm.
Li Shimin's eyes widened when he saw this.
