Chapter 413: It's Delicious, It's Delicious!
Through the dialogue between the emperor and Yanan, Gao Li clearly felt the goodwill of both sides to him, and sure enough, there was a mushroom egg at hand, and a peerless master's lady, the deterrent power was enough!
"What else does Lord Gao want to know?" Erruo continued to ask.
"I want to know too much, such as are you really left with countless people, such as why Empress Yanan has no status, such as why do you have to return to this world, such as what do you like to eat, is your language our language, do you have the four seasons there? in short, I am full of curiosity about your world, and I am full of all kinds of ignorance about you. "Gao Li Dao.
"But no matter what I say, you won't believe it. Al Ruo said.
"I don't believe it. "Gao Li Dao.
"Perhaps, one day in the future, you can go to our world and see. Al Ruo said.
"That's great. "Gao Li Dao.
Gao Li was intrigued by these wonderful races, and he was very curious to know what kind of race they were. The biggest problem now is mainly because there is no one on the side of the celestials who can talk normally. The only celestial being, the so-called god in the Shenwei organization, has no way to communicate normally, and he is mysterious every day.
"That's fine. "Now that the passage to our world is controlled by several other princes, if you can help Empress Anan regain power, you can come to our world at any time." ”
"Then forget it. Gao Li waved his hand, "Whether she can regain power or not is her business, I can cheer her on from afar, as for whether she can stand up herself, it depends on her own ability." ”
Al Ruo said, "Since you don't want to care, why did you tell her those stories in the first place?"
Gao Li spread his hands and said, "I told the story, whether I can do it or not, it's hers, right." ”
Er Ruo was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Lord Gao, it's really calculating, with this matter, it has nothing to do with you inside and out." ”
Gao Li stretched out a finger and said, "At present, it has nothing to do with me." ”
Gao Li guessed that this matter must involve the balance of power between the evil mother and several daughters, although Gao Li did not know the specific reason, but now, he could not give any promises.
Al thoughtfully said, "I understand, but I still want you to say a word." Between heaven and man and us, can you, Lord Wang, really be impartial?"
Gao Li said: "For me, you are all aliens, and the war between you has nothing to do with me. As long as it does not affect my core interests, I am naturally impartial. ”
Er Ruo said: "With your words, I am relieved." I really hope that one day, you will be able to visit our world. ”
Gao Li said: "Me too." ”
The so-called high-level exchanges are so unnutritious. The two sides have said a lot of nonsense, but it is basically a matter of principle and general direction. What exactly to do, the following people need to discuss.
In fact, this time, the highlight of Yannan City is not here.
It was the first historic meeting between Prince Yanan and the Emperor.
Since the founding of the Wu State, the relationship with Yanan has been acceptable. But since the last time the Yanan people occupied Yannan City, the relationship between the two sides has cooled down rapidly, and there has been no official contact for fifty years. Especially after the Dugu family occupied Yannan City, the emperor completely closed it and no longer had any contacts.
But now, the emperor is here, and so are the two princes of Yanan. The first official exchange between the two sides in 50 years is about to begin.
In this regard, Gao Li did not have any expectations.
This meeting seems to be a coincidence, but behind it must be full of countless twists and games. Otherwise, it has been a long time since the Heavenly Scar was opened, and it has been so long that the emperor can come to Yannan from Shangjing, which is nearly two thousand miles away, and you Yanan will only come over?
But no matter what deal the two sides reach here, in the final analysis, it must be realized through Yannan City, as the only city leading to Yanan, Yannan's geographical location is too important to be avoided by anything.
However, can the emperor still reach any effective negotiations with Yanan?
No way.
People-to-people exchanges, one is cultural exchanges, the other is economic and trade exchanges. At this time, more than half of the people in Yannan City are Yanan people, some of them do business here, and some simply buy real estate here to settle down. Because of historical reasons, the Yannan people do not reject the Yanan people, and there is a very good cultural foundation here. As for economic and trade exchanges, it is needless to say that Yannan City, as the only entrance for Yanan to enter the Central Plains, has long monopolized the entire Yanan business in the Central Plains.
Therefore, Gao Li did not have any expectations, because everything was under control.
But!
As the landlord here, it is Gao Li's responsibility to hold this meeting well.
The good news is that Yannan's sugarcane has entered the harvest-ready stage.
At such a time period, why is it good news that sugarcane can be harvested?
Sugar, on the other hand, makes people happy, and a pleasant mood will be carried into any negotiation.
Once harvested, the cane is stripped of its leaves and transported to a freshly built processing plant at the edge of the field. Here there are several juicers already ready. At this time, Gao Li was really grateful to the street vendors selling freshly squeezed sugarcane juice in his previous life, without them, Gao Li really wouldn't have been able to figure out the specific structure of this machine.
Two pressure rollers with grooves, a funnel to collect sugarcane juice, plus some strainers. Finally, there is a layer of cotton cloth, which will make up a simple sugar cane juice processing machine. The collected sugar cane juice is brought to the side of the sugar boiling pool, with a roaring fire below. The dried sugarcane is directly burned as fuel, and the stem of boiling beans and burning beans is realized.
After removing the moisture, the harvest is the simplest coarse sugar. In other words, brown sugar in the general sense. Gao Li did not master the process of further purifying brown sugar, because it involved a lot of chemical knowledge, and his chemical reserves were limited. Therefore, we can only use activated carbon to purify brown sugar as much as possible and improve the taste.
The sugar will then be made into two things – Fat House Happy Water, and Chocolate.
But before that, the emperor and his entourage tasted these treasures first.
That night, Gao Li held a banquet to entertain the emperor. Fortunately, there was fresh meat brought from Yanan, which ensured the heartiness of the dishes. However, at this venue, the eyes of the emperor and several ministers around the emperor were focused on two things.
Chocolate and soft drinks.
Chocolate, needless to say, is a top-notch snack that even the richest super-rich in Shangjing may not be able to enjoy casually. The price of ten times the gold makes everyone who eats chocolate experience the joy of tasting gold. But the most important thing is that this thing is in Shangjing, and it is a quota sales product. Because of the low production volume, the Lizhuang flagship store in Beijing can get a very limited quota each month, and in order to meet the demands of these hungry and rich people, all these chocolates are subject to a scheduled auction system. Every month, those who want chocolates have to pay a deposit, then participate in an auction at the flagship store, and by the time they get their hands on them, the price may have doubled. But even so, there are still people in the black market who buy at high prices. Of course, most people don't buy these chocolates to satisfy their appetites, but for more purposes.
For example, according to the laws of the dynasty, the ministers could not afford these expensive snacks, but who of these ministers did not order this thing?
Now, however, these expensive snacks, wrapped in gold leaf in front of the emperor, were piled up on a whole plate! Not only in front of the emperor, but also in front of the ministers, each of them also had four chocolate balls the size of walnuts on their plates. At this moment, the pillars of the country are thinking about how great it would be if they could bring these chocolates back and show them off to their colleagues.
In the restaurant, the air conditioner continuously lowers the indoor temperature through the white sand of the ice exercises, but many ministers have slight beads of sweat on their foreheads, some of them are excited, some are nervous, and the cups on the side are constantly bubbling outward.
Take a sip, a slight medicinal aroma plus a sweet, sour and spicy taste. Swallow it, and then a breath gushes out of your stomach, bringing a refreshing sensation.
Refreshing!
There is such a wonderful thing in this world!
It's delicious!
