Li Shimin laughed dryly and stopped asking questions.
No matter how high and mighty he was, he knew that it was indeed too... too shameless to try to trick others into making money with empty words.
He put the spoon back into the salt shaker, but was reluctant to put down the bag of salt in his hand. He also looked at Xu Mo secretly.
He was young, good-looking, and had an extraordinary demeanor.
Most importantly, he could fight.
He easily knocked down six guards by himself, and now those six are still lying on the ground, unable to stand up.
"My dear, you have talent, why do you want to be a businessman?" Li Shimin was fond of talent. "Now the court also has the method of imperial examinations to recruit scholars. With your talent, why don't you try the imperial examinations?"
Xu Mo asked back: "Why?"
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment: "Serving the country is better than being a businessman?"
"I don't have such big ambitions. I just want to live my own life comfortably." Xu Mo shook his head, stuffed the salt jar back, showing only his buttocks to them, and said nonchalantly, "I worry about it every day, and now I can easily have a big house."
"When I have some money in the future, I will hire some maids to serve me. I can open my mouth to eat and stretch out my hands to wear clothes. Isn't this a good life?"
I was too frivolous in my previous life.
Just for checking plagiarism, I have to think hard and spend a lot of energy.
House... you have to work hard for half a lifetime to afford it.
Although the Tang Dynasty is not as good as the later generations,
the house prices are cheap!
Moreover, the Tang Dynasty is prosperous. Whether I am there or not, it is still the Celestial Empire. There is no need to be a candle, burning myself and fattening the Li Tang royal family.
The most important thing is that I still have a system. If I don't enjoy the good life and become a social animal, I must have two pounds of water in my brain to do such a stupid thing.
Li Shimin was a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect that a young man could say such unambitious words so openly.
"You are still young, you should have a side..." Cheng Yaojin snorted and started to say a few words to help his own majesty.
Xu Mo interrupted directly: "The Tang Dynasty created a prosperous era, with peace and prosperity, allowing ordinary people like us to enjoy a peaceful and beautiful life."
"We should be grateful to the Tang Dynasty and work hard to live a peaceful and beautiful life every day."
"If you abandon a good life, it would be disrespectful to the Tang Dynasty and the officials in the court who worked hard for the world."
At this point, Xu Mo became serious: "You are older than me, but why is your ideological realm so low!" Cheng
Yaojin pursed his lips. This... seems to make sense, but it always feels a little strange.
He is not a good talker, so he simply shut up and continued to concentrate on chewing the spicy strips.
Li Shimin also looked at Xu Mo in surprise.
This angle...is too strange.
He didn't know how to refute for a while.
After struggling for a long time, he also followed Cheng Yaojin, took a bite of the spicy strips, and continued to read with the bag of salt in his pocket.
On the third counter, there were palm-sized but extremely thin papers. Li Shimin picked up one and looked at it several times. There was nothing written on it and he couldn't make out anything. He just snorted and asked directly: "Shopkeeper, is this also food?"
Xu Mo shook his head: "No, this thing is called a facial mask. It is for women to use to maintain their skin."
After saying that, he paused and glanced at Cheng Yaojin, who looked a little strange compared to Li Shimin: "Of course, men can use it too."
"Maintain skin?" Li Shimin was in high spirits. He was not interested in this thing, but thinking of the concubines in the harem and his many daughters, he asked casually, "Is it something like pearl powder?"
Xu Mo nodded: "Yes, but the effect is much better."
He didn't explain too much, because people of that era wouldn't understand.
How much is it?" Li Shimin asked again.
Cheng Yaojin was ready to pay. He only had one wife. The food and refined salt in this shop were unexpectedly good. I think this mask must be very good.
"One hundred coins per piece." Xu Mo replied.
Cheng Yaojin immediately retracted his hand.
Li Shimin also looked at Xu Mo in astonishment. As if it was hot, he quickly stuffed the thing back: "Why is this thing so expensive?"
One hundred coins, used to buy those pearls of poor quality, grind them into pearl powder, is enough for one person to use for more than a month.
This is only enough to buy one!
Xu Mo spread his hands and said confidently: "It's a bit expensive, but the effect is good."
"Want to become whiter? Just use this."
"Do you have acne on your face? Just use this." "
Does your face become rough and you can see the pores? Just use this."
He knew nothing about facial masks. These were all the system's words, and he thought there would be no problem.
Li Shimin hesitated, took a deep look, and planned to go back and discuss this topic with Guanyinbi to see if this thing is worth so much money.
He walked to the last counter.
It was still a transparent package similar to the spicy strips, but he could tell at a glance what was inside, it was a steamed bun!
But... It was different from the steamed buns we usually eat. The color should be yellow.
It was burnt yellow and felt unusually soft.
And it was very small, there was only one in a package.
"How much is this steamed bun?" When it came to the areas he was familiar with, Li Shimin became more confident and spoke with more assurance.
"One penny each." Xu Mo had a blank expression and a serious look.
Li Shimin was stunned. Looking at the small food in his hand, he had already formed his first solid impression of this store.
That is "expensive".
Such a small steamed bun, actually sold for one penny?
"And this is not a steamed bun, you can call it bread." Xu Mo kindly explained, "Although it is similar to steamed buns, the content is completely different."
To be precise, it is a small French bread.
The system sold it to him, and it was also one penny per bag, but... that bag was a big bag, and there were eight such small bags in it.
The profit is even higher than the spicy strips.
Li Shimin didn't say anything, but just looked at Cheng Yaojin silently.
Cheng Yaojin was honest and immediately took out two copper coins.
Li Shimin took one, and he took one too.
With the experience of spicy strips, it was easy to open the package. As soon as a gap was opened, a scent of wheat and a faint aroma like wine came to my nose.
Pinch it and take a bite.
It was extremely soft and fluffy. It was chewed but not chewed.
After chewing for a few times, the aroma of wheat became stronger, and the sweet taste sank into the throat with saliva. The smell of wine added a bit of flavor.
In two bites, the small piece of bread was finished.
Li Shimin was a little unsatisfied. He smacked his lips and looked at Xu Mo. Just as he was about to ask a question, he swallowed his words back.
