Chapter 123: Sweet sugar water, fascinating

"Everyone, everyone is an acquaintance, the younger brother has poor hospitality, I hope you will forgive me, the younger brother will go to cook first" Wang Xuan looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and the others, because of their interruption, Wang Xuan also lost interest in continuing to chat with Qin Qiong, and after confessing to them, he walked towards the kitchen.

Looking at the back of Wang Xuan leaving, I don't know what others think, the eldest grandson Wuji did have a monstrous wave in his heart, since Li Shimin became the emperor, his sister Yougui became the queen, and he and his uncle were both extremely human ministers, he had already had the idea of taking the entire eldest grandson family to become a new family that replaced the five surnames and seven families.

But today, Wang Xuan's words made the eldest grandson Wuji, who knew a lot of things, sober up in an instant like a slap in the face, he thought a lot, he even thought of the strong man hundreds of years ago, the strong man at that time, there were not a few relatives in charge, but no family could have a good death, and there were many capable people among them, but what history left them was the result of relatives interfering in politics and the family being ruined.

He asked himself, was this what he wanted? Obviously this is not the result he wanted.

At this moment, he didn't have much interest in making the family a family, just like Wang Xuan said, when the world does the world's things, leaving himself a good name for future generations to praise, it is more reliable than the ethereal family continuation that can't be seen.

It's just that this person's position and his desire for power will really keep him to his original intention now? No one knows, and perhaps the only time that can give this answer is that time.

And there are not a few people who think the same way as the eldest grandson Wuji at this time, which is originally related to the fact that they are now all ministers of the humerus under Li Shimin.

But the difference with them, at this time outside Huang Yu and them, it is another scene, this with the color and fragrance of the food was served, many people couldn't help swallowing their saliva, although the people present, each of them is a minister of the court, but except for those from a family, others do not have the strength to often go to the royal restaurant to eat, even if they go, they will not have the luxury of ordering such a large table of dishes, after all, the price of the dishes inside is not cheap.

So as soon as this dozen tables of dishes came up, they were still stunned.

In particular, some people also asked the people of Anguo Mansion who served the dishes, and their housekeepers were also like this? When they learned that it was the same, they all sighed at Wang Xuan's wealth.

But what really shocked them was that the servant left them with a large basin of steaming brown sugar water.

At first, they didn't care, but with the introduction of the next person, they said that the brown sugar water was their master, and it was specially boiled for the birth of his young lady, and Huang Yu and others scooped a bowl and planned to taste it.

But after tasting it, no delicacies in front of you can compare to the beauty of this bowl of brown sugar water comparable to honey.

After all, in the Tang Dynasty, the sweet food that people could get on weekdays was only honey, which could only be obtained by luck, and caramel, which required a lot of grain to make, that is, maltose.

But because caramel is not easy to make, and it is too wasteful of food, the price is very expensive, so even if it is a rich family, it is not possible to continue to eat it, only the top wealthy families, then they can eat it often.

And the sweetness of caramel is not very sweet, and honey is not the same sweetness at all, so honey will have a tael of gold and a tael of honey in ancient times.

Now for these people, there is a sweet brown sugar water that tastes like honey, and they must be quite happy.

So after a while, the brown sugar water on their table was gone, which made the people around them stunned, and they wondered, is this brown sugar water really that sweet?

But before the people around him could ask, the subordinates of An Guobo's Mansion appeared again, carrying a big iron kettle and filling the basin of Huang Yu's table with brown sugar water.

"Little brother, can you add this brown sugar water?" Huang Yu looked at the man and asked with an incredulous expression.

"Back to my lord, my lord has instructed, everyone who comes is a guest, all the things on the table, only the guests have eaten, no waste, no takeaway, you can add, your lord, please use it slowly" After the man said very politely, he stepped aside.

Hearing this subordinate's explanation, everyone present was not calm, and many people who were familiar with Huang Yu and them, or who knew each other, came to them to ask for a bowl of brown sugar water.

And then there was no then, people who had tasted brown sugar water, it didn't matter if they were familiar with each other or not, as long as they knew each other, they pulled aside and started to share the table, and even in the end, the big guys also started to share the table, in order to taste the taste of brown sugar water as soon as possible.

And because of this, many people who used to be just nodding acquaintances sat down to eat together.

However, compared with those low-grade officials, I think a big guy like Wei Zheng has seen a lot from this bowl of brown sugar water.

The children of the same lively family are thinking about how to control this brown sugar water in their own families.

But no matter what kind of mind they have, they have been conquered by this bowl of brown sugar water, or by the sweetness that people have loved since ancient times.

At this time, on the other side of the flowing water seat, the people of Yongyangfang were also conquered by the brown sugar water, and even a large number of people from nearby squares came to see the excitement, and even heard the praise of the people of Yongyangfang, a few people who were familiar with Liu Ji stepped forward to ask for some, and then more people wanted it, and even offered to buy it.

At this time, Liu Ji was shocked, and he didn't know what to do, so he could only go to Wang Xuan in the end.

"Dad, are you saying that the people in other shops want to buy brown sugar water? It makes me think about it! Now there are only a few pieces of brown sugar at home, not enough for it, there are still a lot of white sugar, dad, you see if this will work, let's entertain them with white sugar water, but to explain, there is only one bowl per person, and it will be gone after drinking" Wang Xuan heard the words of his cheap father-in-law, and thought about it, this new batch of sugarcane is about to be harvested, if it is fast, it will be sent next month, as long as it is left for his family to eat, it is not impossible to take out the others, so he said to his cheap father-in-law.

"Xuanzi, will this be too much, this is not a few hundred people, there may be tens of thousands! When Liu Ji heard Wang Xuan's words, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

"Dad, it's okay, isn't that happy today? I have a daughter here, which means that the reserves at home are not high now, otherwise I will be all Chang'an today, and I will distribute eggs and brown sugar water in Chang'an" Wang Xuan heard Liu Ji's worries, and said to him with a smile and a very arrogant smile.

"Okay, if you're happy, then I'll go out and talk to those people" Liu Ji also nodded and said with a smile when he saw Wang Xuan like this.

"Then it's hard for you, this sugar is there, you ask Li Fu, he knows that there, there is still a shortage of manpower, there are so many princes in the lobby, let them arrange, or wait for Li Lao Er to come, let him arrange, I still have something in the kitchen, I'll go and get busy first" After speaking, Wang Xuan ran back to the kitchen.
