The God-Level Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty

The three of them walked all morning and finally arrived at the village at noon.

Xiao Lizhi was so hungry that he was hungry.

It won't move even if it's lying on the donkey.

"Brother Zhao, you came so quickly. When I went to look for you yesterday, they all said you were busy, so..." When the village chief saw Zhao Chen, he was also surprised.

Zhao Chen is no longer the little kid who used to play in the mud with the children in the village.

Today, Zhao Chen is a popular figure in front of the Emperor of Tang Dynasty.

I am naturally very busy on weekdays.

Even if you're not busy, you can't spare any time to come here.

The village chief is actually a little worried.

Thinking that Zhao Chen was now making all the changes in Chang'an City, he was naturally too lazy to come over and deal with these idiots.

In no mood……

When he saw Zhao Chen again, the village chief was very happy. He took Zhao Chen's hand and walked to his home.

"Hey, do you want to go in?" Wu Jue shouted when he saw Xiao Li Zhi lying motionless on the donkey.

Xiao Li Zhi raised his head, looked at Wu Jue pitifully, and muttered, "Sister Xiao Wu, I'm so hungry that I can't get up. Why don't you help me?"

"Then you keep lying down!" Wu Jue glanced at Xiao Li Zhi, turned around and followed him into the village chief's house.

"Hey——" Xiao Li Zhi stretched out his hand.

…

All the houses in the village have been renovated.

Many dilapidated houses were simply demolished and rebuilt.

Over the past year, the village has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The cement road runs through the entrance of every household in the village.

In the fields, there are also ditches specially built with cement to make it easier to irrigate the fields next year.

"Old lady, don't lie down and sleep. Get up and cook quickly without even looking at who's coming!" The village chief pulled Zhao Chen into the house and shouted to the back room.

There was a movement in the back room, and a slightly older woman came out.

The moment she saw Zhao Chen, the woman's face instantly overflowed with joy.

color.

"Brother Zhao, you didn't even tell me in advance that you were coming. I'm not prepared for anything!"

"Sit down quickly, sit down quickly."

"Drink water, drink water!"

"Old man, when you came back from the city yesterday, you bought some snacks and quickly took them out for Brother Zhao and the others to fill their bellies. It's already noon, so they must be hungry."

"Yes, yes, I almost forgot. You drink water first, and I'll get it right away."

"Old lady, hurry up and cook. By the way, Lao Lin next door sent you a grass carp today, so hurry up and cook."

"I know, and you still say it like an old guy like you!"

The village chief and his wife were busy, and one of them went to work in the kitchen.

The village chief took out a large bag of snacks from the room, which were all eaten on the streets of Chang'an City.

Zhao Chen doesn't eat often, but Wu Jue eats a lot.

Although he was usually very strict with her, Zhao Chen never treated her badly when it came to food and clothing.

She often asked Li Ruoshuang to take her to the streets to make clothes and eat whatever she wanted.

"This flower cake is Xilaifu's signature product, so expensive."

"Sister Ruoshuang takes me to eat every time she goes out!" Wu Jue took a piece of flower cake and handed it to Zhao Chen.

"Here, you can try it too!"

Zhao Chen doesn't like eating these things.

"Village chief, please stop working..."

"No, no, you've finally come back, but I can't let you have nothing to eat."

"Brother Zhao, please sit down for a moment. I'll go to Lao Zhang's house at the entrance of the village. He bought some beef in Wannian County yesterday. It's good stuff. I'll go find him." The village chief said to Zhao Chen, and then he disappeared. Gone.

"Well, it's delicious." Xiao Li Zhi was lying on the table, his hands never stopped, and he kept stuffing flower cakes into his mouth.

this

Speech was slurred.

"Gu Gu Gu Gu——" After a gulp of warm tea, he poured it into his mouth.

"Why are you acting like a starving ghost?" Wu Jue was very dissatisfied with Xiao Li Zhi's performance.

No matter how you say it, this guy is a majestic king.

What delicious pastries have you not tried?

Eating a flower cake is like a hungry ghost reincarnated, for fear that others will steal it from him.

As for that!

"Hiccup--" Xiao Li Zhi hiccupped for a long time.

He casually wiped the crumbs from the corner of his mouth.

Leaning on the pillar behind the stool, he rubbed his bloated belly.

"It's so delicious. I've never eaten anything so delicious!" Xiao Li Zhi looked at Wu Jue with a smile.

That was definitely a roll of the eyes.

"Hey, sir, the people in this village must be very rich. Looking at the appearance of this house, it can be compared to those shops in Chang'an City."

"The houses of some people in Chang'an City are far inferior to those here."

"And when we came from the village entrance just now, every house looked like this."

"I heard from my father that the people of the Tang Dynasty were actually not rich, so why here..." Xiao Li Zhi had enough to eat and drink, so he naturally focused his attention on this house.

Xiao Li Zhi has been with the emperor since he was a child.

This is naturally relatively clear about Datang's situation.

The emperor once said that although the lives of the people of the Tang Dynasty were not in dire straits.

But you have to be careful about your meals every day.

On weekdays, I don’t even dare to eat meat, let alone high-end snacks like flower cakes.

But among the people here, some can even afford beef.

In the Tang Dynasty, the slaughter of cattle was prohibited.

Although there are still people slaughtering them privately, the price is not known to be high.

How rich do the people in this village have to be to afford black market beef?

"Then don't even look at whose hometown this is."

"The peppers I saw drying on the street on the road were all made by Zhao Chen."

"Those peppers are exclusive to the noble officials and wealthy businessmen of Chang'an City. They send people over every month to buy them at high prices."

"To be blunt, the monthly income of the people in the village is more than your pocket money!" Wu Jue took over from the side.

Xiao Li Zhi didn't believe it.

He is the King of Jin and the favorite child of the emperor and queen.

This monthly pocket money is enough for twice a month.

The people in the village earn more than him in a month?

How is this possible!

"What Miss Xiao Wu said is not entirely correct. The dried chili peppers can earn me three guans a month, and the vegetables in the fields are also what many people are vying for."

"Master Zhang from the Ministry of Husbandry, Master Li from the Ministry of Punishment, Master Duan from the Ministry of Works, Master Wang from the Ministry of Rites..."

"And those princes, the food they eat on weekdays are all from our place."

"Every morning, they send their own butlers to do the shopping, which is quite profitable."

"But all this is thanks to our brother Zhao. If it weren't for him, we would still be looking for wild vegetables in the fields to eat!" The village chief walked in with two kilograms of beef and introduced the situation in the village to several people.

Because of Zhao Chen, no one dared to take any chances in their village.

Otherwise, how can ordinary people like them do business with the adults in power?

I know this is where Zhao Chen grew up.

The merchants who come here to buy vegetables or chili peppers, the housekeepers of noble families, and the personal entourage of high officials.

Which one is not accompanying them with a smiling face.

An uncle and aunt shouted at each mouthful!

That look was more cordial than calling them uncle or aunt.

"Sir, you are so powerful!" Xiao Li Zhi seemed to have just met Zhao Chen.
