Kidnapped by Princess Changle at the beginning

Chen Chu glanced at Li Tai and said, "Prince, have you forgotten that your body has been transformed by running and returned to normal. In time, you will be as strong as a cow. Come, drink!"

Li Chengqian thought for a while, nodded, picked up the wine glass, and drank it down.

"Cough cough..."

"Cough cough cough..."

Li Chengqian was indeed a novice, he choked on a glass of wine.

Seeing this, Li Zhi was not to be outdone, drank a little, and then said: "I can only drink a little..."

But no one cares about him at all.

Chen Chu and Cheng Yaojin took turns to fight, directly getting Li Chengqian and Li Tai drunk.

Of course, Chen Chu's Potato Roast Beef made by several people was full of praise.

One meal lasted two hours.

The night is deep.

Chen Chu asked Cheng Chubi to put the three brothers of the Li family to sleep.

Cheng Yaojin came over, looked at Chen Chu, and said, "Fifth brother, you must know that the king of Yue and the prince are no longer at loggerheads, and many people in the court have started to stand in line. Some support the king of Yue, and some support the prince... How are you today Do you want to reconcile their relationship?"

Chen Chu nodded and said with a smile, "I can't hide anything from my fourth brother."

Cheng Yaojin sighed and said, "Why do you have to go into this muddy water?"

Chen Chu shook his head: "If I hadn't married Lizhi, then everything would have nothing to do with me, but now that I've become a son-in-law, I want to try..."

However, Chen Chu didn't say anything about his plan.

He has a great plan far away.

But you can't tell Cheng Yaojin, otherwise you will definitely be regarded as a lunatic.

……

Early the next morning.

The coal mine workers, after breakfast, took their tools, and went to work one after another.

The quiet coal mine suddenly became lively again.

Li Tai was woken up by the sound of banging and smashing in the distance.

He got up suddenly, only to realize that he was sleeping on a bed with a person lying beside him, it was Prince Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian was still sound asleep.

Li Tai took a look at Li Chengqian, and suddenly said thoughtfully: "Hmph, I used to think that the prince is a weak guy, but I didn't expect that he drank more than me last night..."

He jumped out of bed and walked away.

……

Chapter 267 Another Chief Engineer

A new day begins.

Li Tai continued his life of mining coal.

Li Chengqian and Li Zhi only woke up in the afternoon.

After Li Tai woke up, he smacked his lips and went straight out of the room, looking around for where Chen Chu was.

Seeing Cheng Chubi, he asked, "Do you know where Chen Chu is?"

Cheng Chubi shook his head.

Li Zhi thought to himself, I will find it myself.

So he walked out in a hurry.

……

In a small secluded yard.

Chen Chu and Cheng Yaojin sat opposite each other.

In front of the two of them, there was a small casserole.

The casserole was bubbling and steaming.

Cheng Yaojin stared at the casserole without blinking, and took a sip from time to time, feeling very satisfied.

He asked inexplicably, "Fifth Brother, this is just the leftover potato roast beef from last night, why did you come here to eat it quietly?"

Chen Chu rolled her eyes and said, "That's all I ordered, it's just enough for the two of us to eat, and one more person won't be enough..."

"I see!"

Cheng Yaojin laughed.

With so little beef left, Chen Chu only asked himself to come, but neither the crown prince nor Li Tai was treated so well.

It proves that in Chen Chu's heart, he, his elder brother, is more important.

It heats up quickly.

Chen Chu took out two large earthen bowls, which happened to hold two bowls.

Just then, a short and fat figure walked in.

It was Qi Wang Li Zhi.

Seeing Chen Chu and Cheng Yaojin in the corner, Li Zhi sniffed and said in surprise, "Oh, I didn't expect you to be here..."

Chen Chu and Cheng Yaojin turned their heads at the same time, Chen Chu seemed to have seen a ghost.

He woke up early in the morning with Cheng Yaojin, and purposely found a remote place. It can be said that no one knew about this place.

How did Li Zhi find it?

Chen Chu asked in surprise: "Pheasant slave, you...why are you here?"

Li Zhi said: "I looked for you everywhere, but they all said they didn't know where you were. I suddenly smelled the smell of roasted beef with potatoes, so I searched all the way. You are indeed here."

As he spoke, he looked at the empty casserole, and then looked at Cheng Yaojin's hands.

Cheng Yaojin's bowl of roast beef with potatoes has not touched his chopsticks yet.

Li Zhi just stared at him without blinking.

The meaning couldn't be more obvious.

Cheng Yaojin was in a hurry, he suddenly gave a bah, spat some saliva in it, picked it up, and asked: "Your Highness, do you want to eat?"

Li Zhi looked disgusted and shook his head quickly.

"hey-hey……"

Cheng Yaojin smiled smugly, then buried his head and began to eat.

Li Zhi set his sights on Chen Chu.

Chen Chu looked at Cheng Yaojin.

Hey!

I really can't do this kind of spitting thing, it's too disgusting.

He stood up, handed over the bowl, and said, "Pheasant slave, do you want to eat?"

"miss you!"

"Do you like beef very much, or do you like potatoes?"

Facing Chen Chu's question, Li Zhi looked very serious. He pondered for a while and said, "I like to eat potatoes..."

As a prince, beef is always available.

But potatoes are different.

Yesterday was Li Zhi's first day eating potatoes.

Chen Chu looked at the other party, smiled suddenly, and said, "Since you like potatoes so much, why don't you grow potatoes with me?"

"I...can I grow potatoes?" Li Zhi couldn't believe it.

Chen Chu smiled and said, "I will teach you..."

"Oh, well, then I would like to..."

He said yes, but his eyes were fixed on Chen Chu's bowl without blinking.

Chen Chu handed it over and said, "Eat it, from today onwards, you will stay and grow potatoes!"

"Great!"

Li Zhi took the bowl, bowed his head and started eating.

I don't know if he said too good to eat beef and potatoes or to grow potatoes.

Finish a meal.

Li Chengqian went back alone.

Li Zhi stayed behind.

He was both apprehensive and excited.

Following behind Chen Chu, he kept asking, "Chen Chu, when are we going to plant potatoes?"

Chen Chu turned around and said seriously: "Pheasant slave, you should call me brother-in-law."

Li Zhi tilted his head and thought for a while, then nodded: "Okay, brother-in-law, let's go plant potatoes, I also want to eat beef with potatoes..."

For Chen Chu, growing potatoes was a task.

For Li Er, growing potatoes can solve Datang's food problem.

But for Li Zhi, who is only seven years old, growing potatoes is to eat potatoes.

Chen Chu said: "Pheasant slave, come with me!"

He took Li Zhi into a carriage.

The carriage left the coal mine and traveled west for a certain distance until it came to the foot of a mountain.

This place was the potato base selected by Chen Chu.

But now it looks like a deserted area, with weeds everywhere.

It doesn't look like a field at all.

This land still belongs to the eldest grandson's family, but it is not fertile and has not been planted.

Now, after careful investigation, Chen Chu found that this place is the most suitable for growing potatoes.

Li Zhi looked at a barren hill and was dumbfounded: "This... is this place where potatoes are grown?"

Chen Chu said: "Your Highness, you have a month to lead everyone to dig out this land, and then plant potatoes after the spring of next year."

Li Zhi retreated a little in his heart.

When Chen Chu saw this, how could he not know Li Zhi's psychology, he smiled slightly and said, "Pheasant slave, do you know why we were able to eat roasted beef with potatoes last night?"

"I...I don't know..."

"Because I am a potato grower. Think about it, my father has already ordered that these potatoes are auspicious of the Tang Dynasty, and no one dares to touch them... But, I can eat them, and even if my father knows, he will not eat them." You dare to blame me, do you know why?" Chen Chu asked again.

Li Zhi still shook his head.

Chen Chu said: "Because I eat potatoes not for eating potatoes, but for research, to grasp the nutritional content and taste of potatoes, and then grow better potatoes..."

What?

Li Zhi was a little confused.

He didn't understand what Chen Chu said.

But one thing is clear, that is, Chen Chu can eat potatoes openly.

Li Zhi's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Then... If I come to plant potatoes, can I do research like you?"
