The two of them traveled through the Tang Dynasty to open a supermarket, and the little Sizi was sup

Chapter 261 Eating hot pot buffet at Lizheng Hall!

"Your Majesty, if it's about demolishing that side, I can do it myself." Cheng Yaojin pointed, eager to open it and experience it.

Li Shimin understood Cheng Yaojin's idea, "Alright, go and learn from Qingque Sanlang!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Cheng Yaojin hurried over.

Cheng Chumo happened to be on the excavator, slowly moving it around.

Upon seeing Cheng Yaojin, Cheng Chumo stopped, his face full of excitement. "Grandpa, I can drive it now! This is really interesting!"

"Get down here!" Cheng Yaojin pointed.

Cheng Chumo dared not disobey his grandfather, so he obediently stopped the excavator and reluctantly got off.

Cheng Yaojin walked up to Li Tai and Li Ke, "Your Highness, please teach this old minister. If you need help with demolishing houses over there in the future..."

"Uncle, this is very simple." Li Ke led Cheng Yaojin onto the excavator and began to explain.

Qin Qiong, Yuchi Jingde, and the others also followed Li Shimin's example.

Li Tai then taught the others how to operate bulldozers; using the two together doubled their efficiency.

This is the site chosen by Li Shimin to build the imperial palace; it is very spacious.

The three little princesses and their dog happened to be playing here.

Xiao Ran and Li Lizhi were also taking a leisurely stroll. Xiao Ran wasn't very interested in the excavators and bulldozers; he just wanted to experience them briefly and didn't want to play with them.

But the people of the Tang Dynasty rarely had this feeling.

These things were unimaginable to the people of the Tang Dynasty.

"Brother!" Princess Yuzhang ran over. "We don't think we've bought enough oil for the excavator. This shouldn't last long, right?"

"Hmm, we'll go back and buy two barrels later." We'll probably have to go find a place that sells excavators; these days, if you want to buy oil, they'll ask you what you're doing there.

Those who sell excavators should all have connections.

During their casual conversation, Xiao Ran noticed that all the second-generation rich kids had been kicked out.

The excavator carried Li Shimin, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Jingde, and others.

Cheng Chumo, Qin Huaiyu, Yuchi Baolin, Hou Yulin, and the others could only watch helplessly from below, daring not to speak out against their anger.

Xiao Ran could also see that these second-generation elites were genuinely afraid of the first generation.

Cheng Chumo was afraid of Cheng Yaojin, but Cheng Yaojin was truly willing to leave. The concept of "spare the rod and spoil the child" is deeply ingrained in people's minds.

On the other side, Xiao Ruoying was chatting happily with Empress Zhangsun.

More and more people are gathering here; they are all high-ranking officials and their children from the imperial court.

Hearing that everyone else was there, they naturally wanted to join in the fun.

With Emperor Li Shimin as their emperor, and all sorts of strange and unusual vehicles, they all wanted to make their presence felt in front of him, and also take a look at the excavator.

Xiao Ran took out his phone to take pictures from time to time. A group of top nobles and bigwigs from the Zhenguan era were vying to operate the excavator.

"They've all learned quite quickly; they can almost all open them now." Li Shimin returned to Empress Zhangsun's side. "This is indeed not difficult."

Xiao Ran and Li Lizhi followed.

"Xiao Ran! You heard what I said before, isn't this about fighting a war?"

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten the video we watched before? The tanks in it were also tracked."

Li Shimin suddenly realized, "I knew it looked familiar. There's no rush. The focus for the next two years should be on grain and universities. Once the people of the Tang Dynasty are well-fed and the national treasury is full, these restless neighboring states should also quiet down."

Xiao Ran understood Li Shimin's meaning: "Weapons are not an option in principle, as they are very difficult to obtain, but if we have enough money, we can still find a way."

We'll import directly from Pakistan.

The quality might be a little lacking, after all, it's handmade in a small factory, but it's enough for Datang.

That thing is all you need to crush your opponents.

"Buy some in the beginning, and it would be best to learn how to do it later. It's better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish, isn't it?" Li Shimin was thinking far ahead.

“Your Majesty, that’s true, but there are many things that the Tang Dynasty doesn’t have, aren’t there? Let’s not even talk about the others.” Xiao Ran pointed to the excavator, “Even if you could build this thing, you couldn’t build it in the Tang Dynasty, could you? You can’t cook without rice.”

"That's true. I heard from Sixth Sister that buying semi-finished products is also an option, so try to learn how to make them yourself."

"Okay!" Excavators can easily damage roads, so flatbed trailers are used for long-distance transport.

Fortunately, the roads in Chang'an were wide enough.

Having learned enough, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, and the others quickly demolished Taipingfang to pieces using excavators.

Li Shimin gave Cheng Yaojin and his men quite a few of the excavators that Xiao Ran had sent.

Since the excavator couldn't be driven, Li Tai and Li Ke took several second-generation rich kids to learn how to drive.

Flatbed trailers can also be used to transport goods, which comes in handy.

With the help of these vehicles, the progress has been accelerated and the construction period has been shortened.

Suddenly, there were many more drivers in the Tang Dynasty.

The incident in Taipingfang attracted a lot of onlookers.

Excavators working is something people enjoy seeing, not just in the Tang Dynasty, but also in modern times.

Li Chengqian and many of the princes liked to go to Taipingfang to watch excavators and bulldozers at work when they had nothing to do.

Fortunately, the Imperial Guard was maintaining order, and no one dared to interfere with the excavator's work.

Xiao Ran also brought over the oil.

“Brother, we haven’t had hot pot in ages. Let’s have hot pot tonight! We won’t go out; we’ll buy some food and eat at home,” Princess Yuzhang suggested.

"Hehe~ Yes, yes, yes~" the little princess agreed, "Seven again~"

"Let's eat at the Lizheng Hall, and bring His Majesty and Auntie along," Xiao Ran said.

"Sister Ruoying and I will go prepare the ingredients," Princess Yuzhang said, pulling Xiao Ruoying along.

"Prepare more, Grandpa has a big appetite," Li Tai called out.

"Qingque, I'm almost embarrassed to say that to you!" Li Ke laughed as well.

The Rissei-den Hall now has electricity, but it's not enough. It's fine for electric lights, but if there are more electric stoves or similar appliances, the electricity won't be enough.

I might as well just pull the power strip over from somewhere else.

This time, Li Chengqian was also invited, and he brought Li Zhi with him.

Xiao Ruoying and Princess Yuzhang both chose the small pot.

It feels a bit like a rotating hot pot restaurant.

There are many kinds of side dishes prepared; you can choose them yourself later.

Although it is set in the Tang Dynasty imperial palace, it feels like being in modern times.

There were many desks and tables inside the Lizheng Hall.

A small pot of cooking oil sits on the table.

Xiao Ran and Xiao Ruoying had red broth, while the others had broth made with a few mushrooms or tomatoes instead of bone broth.

The three little princesses are all tomato-shaped.

The young princess should stand next to Xiao Ran.

Li Shimin glanced at the bottom of the pot in front of him and smiled, "This is the first time I've seen this way of eating."

The shelves on the other side were filled with all kinds of vegetables and meats.

"Grandpa, let's have a buffet. Just pretend this isn't the palace and you're not the emperor. Go get whatever you want over there," Princess Yuzhang said with a smile.

"Good, good, good," Li Shimin understood that this was to let him experience something different.

"Empress, let's go take a look and pick out some things." Li Shimin pulled Empress Zhangsun to her feet.

On the table in front of me, there was only the broth and dipping sauce; there were no other ingredients.

The suggestion came from Xiao Ruoying, and the initial goal was to ensure that the three little princesses could have a great time while eating.

“Grandpa, this beef is good!” Li Lizhi pointed.

"okay!"
