I have already established my power and prestige, so how did Li Shimin come back to life?

She bowed slightly and said politely, "Dear guests, we have no seats available now. You need to queue up."

"Take this sign first, and I'll let you know when it's your turn."

As she spoke, the girl handed a wooden queuing sign to Li Shimin.

Then she arranged them at a small table and chairs outside Songhe Tower.

The tables and chairs are neatly arranged and the surrounding environment is very clean.

The girl turned back to the store and took out some cakes, sweet potatoes and corn and placed them in front of them.

"Dear guests, these are our free snacks. Please spend some time here. If you need anything, please call me directly!"

The girl's clear voice was as sweet as a lark. After she finished speaking, she turned around and left like a light butterfly to help with the work.

Li Shimin and the other three looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock. As the most knowledgeable people in the Tang Dynasty, what rare treasures and delicacies had they not seen?

But when they came to Xianyang today, they found themselves like frogs in a well. What they saw and heard was completely beyond their imagination.

They didn't even pay a penny, and the store gave them so much free food.

You know, food is the lifeblood of the people! Every grain of food is hard-earned and is full of the hard work and sweat of the people.

Li Shimin was silent for a moment, a complicated look flashing in his eyes, and then he shouted to the three old brothers who were still in shock: "Don't just stand there, it's free, come and try it!"

His voice broke the brief silence between the four of them.

The warm service of Songhelou is very satisfying, and the snacks they serve are even more generous.

Look at those four men. The pot of cakes they brought had ten pieces in it. The cakes were as white as the first snow in winter, and sprinkled with some yellow osmanthus flowers.

The osmanthus flowers are like stars inlaid on the pastries. Just smelling them gives people a sweet feeling, as if you are in a garden full of blooming osmanthus flowers.

The pastries are piled high and each one exudes an alluring aroma.

The sweet roasted sweet potatoes and corn are also four portions each. The skin of the sweet potatoes is roasted until slightly charred and has some small cracks, as if showing people its sweet heart.

The corn is golden yellow, and each grain is plump and round, like a crystal clear pearl.

Li Shimin picked up a piece of cake, placed it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, his eyes full of curiosity and anticipation.

Then, he slowly put the pastry into his mouth. The moment he bit it, a sticky and sweet feeling instantly spread in his mouth.

The sweet taste spread quickly throughout his body like an electric current. Li Shimin felt as if he had been electrocuted, and his eyes lit up instantly.

He quickly put the whole piece of cake into his mouth and chewed it. The sweet taste lingered in his mouth for a long time.

Li Shimin thought to himself, "This must be fine grain. It's so sweet, so I guess a lot of sugar is added. Even if this kind of thing is sold in Chang'an, it definitely won't be cheap! Ordinary people definitely can't afford it!"

After Li Shimin finished eating a piece, he found that several of his old friends had also finished the cakes in their hands.

He looked at the remaining pastries on the plate, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he quickly reached out and took two pieces in his hand.

Seeing this, Cheng Yaojin was not willing to be outdone, so he followed closely and took two pieces as well.

Looking at the two pieces left on the plate, Li Ji and Yuchi Jingde looked at Cheng Yaojin and Li Shimin with resentment, and could only helplessly give each of them one of the remaining two pieces.

After Cheng Yaojin finished the cake in his hand, he licked his fingers with satisfaction, looking like a greedy child.
