Chapter 384
"Haha, if your majesty wants to see it, just blow up two later. Zhang Long, go to the mine and drill a few holes. After lunch, we will go to blow up the mountain!"
Su Chen agreed generously. He was very good at selling out his teammates.
Li Shimin was unhappy now. He glared at Li Tai fiercely and said angrily:
"Fatty, what did you say to me just now?"
"Huh?"
Li Shimin used to call Li Tai a fat man in the palace privately, but that was a long time ago.
Li Tai was not feeling well. He looked at Su Chen with gritted teeth.
Li Chengqian and his brother shouted: 'Flipping with the wind, a flatterer! '
They swore to stay away from Su Chen in the future.
"Uh~ Father, I didn't finish my words just now. Because sugar is hard to come by, I can only put two." Li Tai quickly explained.
"Humph!" Li Shimin snorted coldly and let Li Tai go without caring about it.
"Do you have any more sugar? Bring it to me for a look."
"Father, please wait!" Li Tai hurried to the study to get the sugar.
Not long after, Li Tai returned to the living room with a glass bottle and a stick of dynamite in his hand.
Su Chen's mouth twitched slightly when he saw this, thinking that Li Tai would not worry about accidentally lighting the dynamite.
However, the dynamite fuse is very long, and the misfire can be remedied in time.
"Father, this is the sugar, and this is the newly made dynamite, please be careful." Li Tai carefully handed the two things to Li Shimin.
"Oh! The dynamite has become like this now?" Li Shimin looked at the dynamite wrapped in a paper tube as thick as sugarcane.
"Yes, father, this is convenient for blasting mountains." Li Tai explained.
Li Shimin nodded, put down the dynamite and held the glass bottle in front of him.
"Huh? White sugar, like fine salt, is extracted from sugar cane? Are you kidding me?" Li Shimin knew that sugar cane could be used to make caramel, which is brown sugar.
How could such white particles be made?
"Father, this is what that kid taught me to extract. It is indeed extracted from sugar cane, but the output is relatively small."
Li Tai still hated Su Chen for betraying him!
Li Shimin thought it was nothing to hear Li Tai call Su Chen like this, but Empress Changsun on the side was a little unhappy.
"Qingque! How can you be so rude? Su Chen is your future sister..." Empress Changsun stopped talking before she finished.
"Mother, in fact, I am a few months older than Su Chen." Li Tai whispered in defense.
Empress Changsun warned seriously: "Even so, you can't call me that, do you know?"
Su Chen looked at Li Tai proudly, but Su Chen didn't care at all.
He even called Li Tai fat!
"Yes, yes, I remember it." Li Tai bowed respectfully and answered humbly.
Then Li Tai looked at Li Shimin and said, "Father, you can open the bottle and pour out some sugar to taste it.
It's very sweet, and you can also drink it with water."
Wang Xi quickly brought two cups of boiled water and placed them in front of the seats of Li Shimin and Empress Changsun.
"Okay, I'll try it." Li Shimin untied the paper seal on the bottle, poured some out and put it in his palm, and put it directly into his mouth.
"Well, it's really sweet. Wonderful! Sugarcane can actually produce sugar. Guanyin, you try drinking it with water?"
Empress Changsun smiled and nodded, "Okay, Your Majesty."
Li Shimin nodded and praised, and suddenly found that Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling were looking at him.
"Xuanling, Fuji, you can try it too."
The two prime ministers hurriedly stepped forward with their hands and caught the little bit of sugar poured by Li Shimin.
Not too little, he tilted his head back and poured it into his mouth.
"Mm, very sweet! Just like eating sand in the mouth." The two nodded in approval.
Su Chen looked at the time, it was already past eleven o'clock.
"Your Majesty, mother, are you going to eat at the manor today, or go to the school cafeteria?"
Li Shimin glanced at Empress Changsun and said, "We won't go to the cafeteria today, we can have lunch at the manor."
Su Chen nodded, stood up and said:
"Your Majesty, you sit down for a while, I have something to do." Then he turned and walked out of the living room.
Wang Xi hurriedly left to the kitchen to give instructions and prepare more good dishes.
Li Shimin was very curious and looked at Li Tai with an inquiring look.
Li Tai looked at Su Chen who was leaving and smiled contemptuously, saying, "Father, Su Chen has to go back and forth to school to pick up Li Zhi every day, don't you think it's funny?"
"Hahaha..." Li Tai laughed out loud after he said that, because Li Tai had laughed at Su Chen a lot for this matter.
Su Chen, who had just walked a short distance, heard Li Tai's laughter from outside.
He cursed inwardly: "Fatty!"
The distance between the school and the manor was so short that they could just arrange two people to pick him up, but Su Chen picked him up every day.
Su Chen was not willing to pick him up every day. At the beginning, he volunteered to do it once or twice.
But later, it was Princess Changle's request.
These days, Li TaiAfter not going to school, Princess Changle was the only one who went back and forth between school and the manor every noon.
Even if Princess Changle had lunch at school, she would go back to the manor for a nap or knit woolen gloves.
Changsun Yao and Fang Jingyi would only return to the manor after school in the afternoon.
The strange thing was that only Li Tai laughed in the living room, and the others looked at him with contempt.
Empress Changsun looked at Li Tai as if he was a fool, shaking her head and sighing.
This scene made Li Tai very embarrassed.
…
Eleven twenty.
"Why, they don't go back to the manor for lunch?"
Su Chen was waiting for Princess Changle to come out at the school gate. She had come out before. Su Chen asked her to go back and call Changsun Yao and Fang Jingyi. Their father happened to be here today, so they could reunite.
Not only did they not come out, but Li Zhi and Li Shen did not come out either.
There was nothing else, just because they all thought it was uncomfortable to eat at the same table with Li Shimin, and Changsun Yao was better, just to accompany Fang Jingyi.
"They are not going back, let's go!"
Princess Changle grabbed Su Chen's hand and quickly took him away from the school gate.
"Su Chen, the school teachers got their salaries today, but the three of us didn't!" Princess Changle said angrily.
Su Chen stopped and said in surprise: "How is it possible? I told Wang Xi last month, didn't you get your salaries last month?"
Princess Changle shook her head, "This time it's not the manor that pays the salary, and they said that the Ministry of Finance will be responsible for paying the school teachers' salaries in the future."
"Ministry of Finance?" Su Chen understood, it turned out that the emperor had a guilty conscience.
"It's okay, it's just a small amount of money! I'll go back and argue with His Majesty and ask him why he didn't pay you." Su Chen comforted him kindly.
"Do you dare?" Princess Changle asked with a malicious smile.
Su Chen smiled slightly and said confidently: "Haha, just wait and see!"
In fact, the wages of the three of them had already gone into some people's pockets before they left the palace.
Su Chen was a little confused as to why Wang Xi didn't tell him about this.
It's not Wang Xi's fault, because Su Chen told Wang Xi to pay the wages of school teachers and manor servants on the fifth day of every month.
