Cheng Yaojin bent down and reached out to touch Li Shimin's philtrum with one hand.
He planned to give the emperor first aid before the Jinwu Guards sent Li Shimin to the imperial physician.
By the way, he looked up at Xu Mo.
The Jinwu Guards were all brave and well-selected good men. He had confidence in them, but this glance made his hand tremble and he almost touched Li Shimin's mouth.
Just by bending down and raising his head.
All six Jinwu Guards in the room were lying on the ground.
He happened to see Xu Mo knock down the last man, and just picked up the man's head and threw it to the ground, and then stepped on it, and the strong man had no ability to resist at all.
Cheng Yaojin's face suddenly became frightened.
It was an easy fight.
But the content contained in it is too complicated.
It's like an adult beating a child - this means that Xu Mo is far superior to this group of Jinwu Guards in terms of strength, speed and reaction ability.
He doesn't look very strong, how can he have such great energy?
Cheng Yaojin swallowed his saliva, grasped the knife at his waist, and was about to unsheathe.
Xu Mo raised his eyebrows and scolded, "You come here to make trouble just after I opened my business, right?"
Cheng Yaojin sneered: "Making trouble? It's not you, little thief, who attacked my majesty..."
Li Shimin coughed a few times, wiped his tears and sobbed, and said: "I... I'm really fine!"
"I just opened my mouth and I can't get used to this food."
Cheng Yaojin was stunned and turned to look at Li Shimin.
Li Shimin sniffed his nose and made a sound similar to sighing, raised his hand to touch his tears and snot: "This is a misunderstanding! The store owner was frightened."
"Cheng, apologize to the store owner quickly."
Cheng Yaojin put his knife back into the sheath: "I apologize to the store owner here."
He apologized, but his eyes were not looking at Xu Mo, but at Li Shimin, full of concern. His Majesty did not look like he was fine.
"Shopkeeper, what kind of food is this?" Li Shimin was still crying. He did not want to damage his image like this, but he could not control it.
Not only was he crying, but he was also sweating.
"Spicy strips." Xu Mo was concise.
Li Shimin shook his head and rubbed his cheeks, trying to use this method to dissipate the burning sensation, even if it was just a little bit: "I'm asking how it is made specifically and why it tastes so weird."
It was just weird.
But it was not unpalatable. It could even be said that it was a very superior existence among the food Li Shimin had eaten.
Fragrant, fresh, and slightly salty, after savoring it, you can still feel a hint of sweetness. Of course, the most unexpected thing for him was the feeling of it raging in his mouth like a flame.
Feeling that the spiciness had subsided a little, Li Shimin took another bite.
It was really addictive.
"It's just some pastries, with some spices." Xu Mo was not stingy in expressing his enthusiasm for potential big customers.
Li Shimin pressed on: "What kind of spices are they? Although I'm not rich, I've eaten a lot of spices, but none of them tasted like this."
Xu Mo shook his head: "This is a secret recipe, so I can't go on."
Li Shimin took a breath and nodded to show his understanding.
This is the guy who eats for others.
He turned his head and looked at the remaining three counters, his eyes full of expectations - he entered this small shop just to see what the lives of ordinary people are like.
But now...
he has found a treasure.
A spicy strip is a delicious food he has never eaten before. Will the remaining things also bring him a different kind of surprise ?
He glanced at Cheng Yaojin and held the spicy strip forward.Cheng Yaojin also subconsciously raised his hand, ready to take it and hold it for His Majesty.Li Shimin made a feint and stretched his hand back.Forget it, Cheng Yaojin is a greedy person, and good things can't be given to him - although this bag is only three cents, he only ate two.
Cheng Yaojin was stunned for a moment, and his hand grasped in the air.He stared at Li Shimin for a long time, pursed his lips, took out three more copper coins from his purse, handed them to Xu Mo, and also grabbed a bag of spicy strips. He wanted to see what was so good about this thing that made his own Majesty look so uncomfortable, but still loved it.Cheng Yaojin carefully began to try to eat.
Li Shimin picked up something on the counter next to the spicy strips, a white packaging bag with the word "salt" written on it in the same thin gold font.He weighed it in his palm and it weighed only about one pound.
"Shopkeeper, you still sell salt here?" Li Shimin turned it over and over, and felt that it felt very good. "How much is it?"
"This bag of salt weighs one pound, and it costs five hundred coins to buy it." Xu Mo replied expressionlessly, "You can also buy it with equivalent cloth and grain. If you buy more, gems, gold and silver can also be exchanged as currency."
Li Shimin was shocked, his hands trembled, and he almost dropped the thing in his hand: "How much?"He was the emperor, and he thought the price was outrageous.The prices in the Tang Dynasty were not high.Although a bag of spicy strips sold for three coins, but... a lot of spices were used in it, and the value of spices has always been high in the Tang Dynasty.But salt...During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, private salt was not banned, and the salt trade was extremely free in the Tang Dynasty, which also led to the low price of salt. A pack of salt only cost ten coins.If it is split into two, one coin can buy more than one catty of salt.The salt here only weighs one catty, but it costs five hundred coins to buy it?
is it Made of gold?
The look he gave Xu Mo became increasingly dangerous. Was he the one being black-hearted?
Cheng Yaojin burst into tears and glared at Xu Mo fiercely, but his expression was intimidating.
"I'll show you a sample." Xu Mo was too lazy to talk nonsense with them. He walked to the counter, bent over and took out a salt shaker. "Take a look for yourself."Li Shimin leaned over and looked into the salt shaker, slightly startled. It was so white...like snow.The salt he ate himself was not of this quality.Subconsciously, he stretched out his hand and wanted to grab a handful to take a closer look.
Pah -
Xu Mo slapped his hand on the back of his palm, and Cheng Yaojin shuddered
"Why are you moving your hands? I'm going to take this salt home to use. Use a spoon."As Xu Mo spoke, he handed over a small wooden spoon with his other hand.Li Shimin was not angry either. He smiled shamelessly, took the spoon, and scooped out a spoonful. Each particle was extremely small, and the layer below was also the same snow-white color.He looked at Xu Mo, stretched out his index finger, dipped a little on the spoon, and put it into his mouth.Salty!It was so salty.But there was no bitterness, it was very pure.This pound of salt was probably equivalent to five or six pounds of coarse salt.
"No wonder the store charges so high a price, how is this salt extracted?" Li Shimin smacked his lips and sighed.Xu Mo looked at Li Shimin as if he were a fool, but did not speak.
