Li Sheng's interest in food is not something that ordinary people in this era can understand.
After all, he is a young man raised by a big foodie empire in later generations. He is bombarded with all kinds of popular Internet celebrity delicacies every day. The taste...
Li Sheng, who hasn't had milk tea for many years, suddenly got an opportunity recently, so how could he not buy it quickly?
Seeing that everyone was surprised and full of praise, Li Sheng was naturally very proud.
As expected, he is a senior in our foodie country!
Know the goods!
"You guys are really discerning. This thing is called milk tea, and it has been a specialty of Mobei since ancient times!"
"milk tea……"
Li Er was startled when he heard this, "This thing, when I followed your master..."
As soon as he almost said "your grandpa", Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, and Empress Changsun on the side all grabbed their toes nervously.
Fortunately, Li Er reacted quickly and immediately changed his mind, "Back then, I was traveling with my master... a senior and my father to do business, and I had seen this thing before. But I remember at that time..."
Li Er tilted his head, looking thoughtful, "Although this milk tea has a warming effect, it has a lot of milky and salty smell. Today's..."
"Hehe..." Li Sheng smiled, "I have improved this thing. It is different from the ones you drank before."
"This milk tea is not made from ordinary tea leaves, or even fried green tea leaves, but a unique... black tea!"
"And in terms of seasoning, we didn't calculate the need to add salt, but specialized in sweetness and added enough sucrose. With this, the milk tea tastes naturally a hundred times smoother!"
When Li Er and others heard this, they were immediately shocked.
At this moment, Fang Xuanling's eyes suddenly lit up,
"So, what the Young Master said in his previous memorial was to open up border areas for trade and strengthen economic exchanges between Han and Hu... Is this also a part of it?"
Li Sheng waved his hand.
"What, you are thinking too much. How much can this thing cost? But your idea is not wrong. It can be used to hype up luxury goods and harvest the leeks of these wealthy families..."
"Cut leeks? This is..."
Li Er and others were confused again.
Wei Zheng couldn't help but want to squirt.
How much knowledge does this prince have?
The tricks come out one after another, and it’s almost impossible to finish them all...
Every time he felt that he understood Li Sheng and knew that Li Sheng was extremely knowledgeable in a certain field, Li Sheng could come up with something new...
If you really don’t let everyone work anymore, what do you want us ministers to do if you throw a pestle in front of His Majesty?
Don’t let anyone mess with you anymore, you won’t be given the royal food, right?
Too much!
Fang Xuanling immediately realized the huge value of this milk tea...
As the eldest prince, Li Sheng, it is impossible for his ministers not to study it.
Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others all studied Li Sheng's literary, Taoist and military strategies, but Fang Xuanling was different. He directly took a different approach and chose to study Li Sheng's business achievements...
Although in the traditional Confucian spirit, business is not worth promoting, Fang Xuanling's thinking is very open. Since it can be used to cut off the leeks of a wealthy family, it is beneficial to the country and the people, so why not do it.
Moreover……
Recently, he realized something even more, because after starting to study business, Fang Xuanling gradually felt that business itself seemed to have strong value...
This is not a value in terms of profit, but a benefit to the national economy and people's livelihood.
But Fang Xuanling couldn't tell exactly what was good about it, it was just a feeling.
And this incident in front of him confirmed his feeling in disguise.
For example, this milk tea is so sweet after being prepared, it can definitely serve as a major economic engine for the people on the northwest frontier.
But it was also because of this that when Li Sheng said, "How much does this thing cost?", Fang Xuanling felt like he had been hit in the head...
Your Highness, the eldest prince, you are going to heaven...
At this moment, Empress Changsun frowned slightly and suddenly said, "What is sucrose?"
As he spoke, he placed the exquisite lacquer box he was carrying in front of Li Sheng, "This is the candy my aunt brought for you. Good boy, please try it!"
"Candy?"
Li Sheng was startled when he heard this. He seemed to have heard of this term in some popular science information somewhere.
Seeing Li Sheng in a daze, Empress Changsun burst into tears on the spot.
This child has never even eaten candy since he was a child... This is so pitiful!
but……
When Li Sheng took out a piece and put it in his mouth...
After a while, his expression turned a little strange...
"this……"
"Madam, this candy...did you take it by mistake...it seems..."
Li Sheng tasted it for a long time and still couldn't help but frown.
Of course, this was a bit rude, but Lao Li and his gang were considered his own, so Li Sheng didn't try to hide it, and said, "This candy doesn't seem to have any sweet taste."
"No sweetness?"
Queen Changsun was startled and suddenly felt surprised.
Li Er and others were also very surprised, because this candy came from the palace, and it was almost the best candy in the Tang Dynasty.
Surprised, everyone took out a piece.
After a while...
This time, it was Li Er and Queen Changsun's turn to be surprised, "Isn't this candy very delicious and sweet?"
"Child, you are working in Mobei now. The weather is very cold. You can't do it without eating sweets."
Queen Changsun tasted the candy and felt that there was nothing wrong with it.
Subconsciously, I just thought that Li Sheng was a picky eater, and immediately started the mother-in-law's preaching mode...
However, Li Sheng scratched his head and called the maid Danqing over.
"Master?"
"Uh... go get some rock candy from the kitchen!"
"Okay, sir!"
After a while...
The plate was put on the table, and everyone saw a few pieces of snow-white stuff on the plate.
This thing...
Even just looking at the appearance, it is a hundred times better looking than candy.
Li Er and others were amazed, and then Li Sheng smiled and said, "Everyone, try it, madam, this is sucrose!"
"Sucrose...Okay, I'll try it!"
Then...
Empress Changsun took a piece of cane sugar and put it in her mouth.
Immediately afterwards, his expression immediately froze.
Li Er observed the words and expressions, secretly surprised.
Is this "sucrose" so magical??
However, he and brothers Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng now have a very tacit understanding and have already reached a consensus.
As long as you get to Li Sheng's place, you can just eat whatever he tells you to eat. Anyway, it's 100% top-notch food...
But looking at the look on Queen Changsun's face, it seems that this thing is very delicious.
But that caramel is already the best caramel in the palace, can it be even more delicious?
So Li Er and others also took a piece and put it in their mouths...
It doesn't take a while.
Everyone was stunned.
Empress Changsun was stunned.
Li Er, Fang Xuanling and others... all looked horrified.
This thing... is simply insanely sweet.
Even if I search all over the world, I will never find such sweet food!
this……
This thing is obviously top quality!
Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui were astonished at the side. They even remembered the legend of "Five Stones Scattered" during the Jin Dynasty...
