Special: 🤣🤣When Li Shande in Chang’an or in Lingnan… | The Litchi Road
Let’s go. [Chang’an] Mr. Zheng! Mr. Zheng. Mr. Zhao. It’s been long. Take care. Mr. Nan! Be careful. Do enjoy life
while in prime you run high. Not to the moon just your empty cup ply. He can actually run that fast. ♪Unharmed by seasons’ change♪ ♪Stay safe and sound♪ Gou, you are here. Madam Wang, morning. Morning. You are here. Gou. Sir. Qilang asked to keep it in your place
for the time being. I was planning to come to him. I have to take a long trip. Xiu might need to stay at her uncle’s house
for a while. [March, 13th year of Tianbao,
Gaozhou, Lingnan] Gou, are you feeling hot? Yes. Why’s it so blasted hot here? We’ll buy a fan another day. Even you bully me now. Even you! Be careful. Mind your step. Take it slow. The plank. Wait, what do you want…? Thank you. What… What do you actually want? No, seriously. You must have some purpose. Are you after money, or…? What are you trying to do? Speak! How’s is taste? Silken. Come on. Another piece of tofu. Here. Let’s eat. Father, you made such a feast. Yes. Let’s celebrate today. [Zhao Xinmin,
Chief Secretary to the Inspector] You’re eating it wrong. Sugarcane isn’t meant
to be eaten straight. You chew it to extract the juice, then spit out the pulp. Are these litchis freshly picked? Just picked. So fresh. But aren’t litchis only ripe in the fourth month? These are an early variety, March Red litchis. How do they taste? Not good. Too sour. We mostly brew them into wine. That’s why they’re cheap. Do these litchis also spoil in three days? But we Dong people have a way to keep them fresh longer. What’s the secret? Just don’t pick them! Can I get a discount? You don’t need to pay. I don’t like owing favors. Thank you for helping me. Then… Just a few will do. Transcribe three copies, each bearing the seal of the Imperial Parks, for the Court of the National Granaries, Ministry of Personnel and the Censorate to be recorded. Aye. Congratulations, Mr. Li. From this moment, Li Shande is the Litchi Envoy designated by His Majesty. Good. Come on. – Congratulations, Mr. Li.
– Congratulations, Mr. Li. Congratulations. – Congratulations.
– Congratulations. Light on the scallions. Mr. Zheng, you are here. The Left Chancellor
doesn’t like scallions. Spin! Enough. Enough. You danced great. Here. I’ll give you a cup of wine. There you go. Thank you, sir. Good. Zhao, what was that last envoy called again? The Coconut Envoy. Right, the Coconut Envoy. He swindled us blind, didn’t he? So this one’s…? I… I’m the Litchi Envoy. Wait. Let me educate you. I really despise people like you. Is swindling so effortless these days? I’m no swindler! You are! I’m no swindler. The bar for scammers isn’t this low. You must strive. Put in effort. My doors are open to all swindlers. But I refuse to be treated like a fool! Come on. Drown him in the river. Take him away. Sir. Wait. Sir, I’m no swindler. What are you doing? What are you doing? Sir! Sir. What are you doing? Mr. He. Let me finish. I’m not finished yet. I’m no swindler. You rascal! Facing death
and still lying through your teeth! You swindler! I’m no swindler! I’m truly here on official business under the imperial edict from Chang’an. What imperial edict
and official business? What fool would conceive such a thing more foolish
than a fool’s wildest dreams? Well, His Majesty. His… No. Hear that? All of you, hear that? How dare you! I’m telling you. Forget drowning. Beat him to death here! No. Wait, wait! Wait. I… Well… Mr. Zhao. Mr. Li. Sorry for being late. I hope I didn’t interrupt you. Not at all. We can’t start without you. Please sit. Mr. Zhao. I’ll sit here. Come sit here. You are from Chang’an. Sit here. My wine. Thank you for changing the seat. I’ll sit here. I’m sitting here. Here. Mr. Zhao. I’ll sit here. You drank so much. Sit down. You’re quite drunk. Let’s start! Aye. Mr. Li. So we meet again. We’re really like a family. As for the purchase errand, feel free to ask me if you have any questions. Do ask me. Okay. It’s good to be a family. It’s good. Skip the formalities. Thank you, Mr. He. Your heroic and extraordinary name
precedes you. After seeing you today, I find it not true. Isn’t it? You’re even more heroic than what I heard about.
