Chapter 22: Beware of Deception!
"Tell me what the problem is!"
"My question is very simple, it is a test of your ability to perceive things."
"You mean, I'm in a hurry!"
Li Chengqian couldn't help but ask.
"Listen, what's the sweetest and most delicious thing in the world?"
If you put it in now, everyone knows that it is candy.
However, candy is scarce in Datang.
Although China is the origin of candy, due to continuous wars and the loss of technology, by the Sui and Tang dynasties, China's sugar industry technology has lagged behind India a lot, and the output is also very small, unable to meet domestic demand.
The sugar produced in India, that is, "stone honey", has been "China's most expensive" since the Three Kingdoms period, and is recognized as a high-end luxury that only the aristocracy can enjoy, and has always been known for its scarce production and high price. During the Jin Dynasty in China, there was a special decree, as long as someone can improve the sugar production technology and increase the production of two liters of stone honey, he can get the heavy reward of ten Hu millet. Although the reward is heavy, the advanced sugar boiling technology of making "stone honey" was still unattainable at that time. Eating sugar once became a big problem in the history of our country.
It wasn't until the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty that Tang Taizong swallowed his saliva in order to eat sugar before he made up his mind: although the domestic sugar technology was backward, he heard that Tianzhu had sugar making technology, so he sent Wang Xuance to India to investigate and find advanced sugar making technology.
When Li Chengqian heard this question, he burst out laughing.
Such an idiotic question, what is there to think about, this is the question of sending points!
He said quite proudly: "Shi Mi is also!" Other than that, there is nothing else. ”
Stone honey is a rare thing, and people around have heard of it, but only about one percent of them have seen it.
People were shocked that this rarity was only in legends, and the number of times it was mentioned was very rare.
Then Li Chengqian looked at people's reactions, and he was even more proud.
"It's a coincidence that I have a small piece of stone honey here."
As soon as the words came out, everyone cheered up directly.
They all want to see what the so-called stone honey looks like.
At the same time, there must be a doubt in people's hearts, that is, these two sisters and brothers must not be ordinary people.
How else could it be possible to have something so valuable?
And still take it with you?
"Look here!"
Li Chengqian took out a small piece of white object, which directly attracted a lot of people's attention.
Some people even swallowed their saliva subconsciously.
This kind of food must be very satisfying to eat!
Li Chengqian, who was concerned by the people, was very proud.
The answer seems to be this.
Li Mingyu was a little unconvinced.
She whispered: "Qian'er, be careful of deception!" His question must not be simple! ”
"Sister, don't worry! What can he deceive? Shi Mi is the answer. ”
Li Chengqian then said directly to Ye Ping: "Shi Mi, right, it's Shi Mi!" You lose, come and lick your shoes! ”
"Is your answer confirmed?"
was frightened to ask, but Li Chengqian hesitated.
Finally, he gritted his teeth.
"That's right! My answer is Shi Mi! In this world, I am afraid there is no more delicious and sweeter existence than this. ”
"What a frog at the bottom of the well! You're wrong! It's not stone honey! ”
Ye Ping's words made everyone unconvinced.
Why not? A very few people said: I have eaten a small piece, and I still can't forget the taste! That's it!
People's cognition is only in their own experience, for new things, they have not been exposed to it, naturally they will not think of it!
Especially Li Chengqian.
He was even more unconvinced.
"Why not? It's precious, and nothing else! ”
"What if I have?"
"I don't believe it! Unless you take it out and look at it. ”
Li Chengqian didn't believe that Ye Ping would be able to come up with something more delicious than Shi Mi.
"Ye Ping, no wonder you said that this question is simple, in fact, what we say, you are wrong, right?"
Li Mingyu thinks so.
If that's the case, it's too treacherous and cunning!
"Talented girl, don't be too smart, I said yes, yes, how can I lie to you? You can even verify it and see if what I'm saying is true. ”
"So, you really have a better taste than stone honey?"
Li Mingyu's eyes lit up, you must know that stone honey alone is priceless. If there is something better than it, if this thing is given to Li Shimin...... So......
She smiled.
But want to come back.
But he questioned it.
"You must be fooling us, aren't you?"
"Look, everyone! Look what is in my hands! ”
Ye Ping didn't want to pretend, he saw that the points on Li Mingyu's head were not collected, and he was very uncomfortable.
So he raised his hand.
Everyone watched two candies appear in his hands, which were the White Rabbit toffee we often eat.
But at that time, how did people know what this thing was?
"What you have in your hand is a better existence than Shi Mi?"
Li Chengqian took a closer look and questioned.
"You can try it. I, Ye Ping, never lie! ”
Everyone was also very curious, and urged Li Chengqian one after another.
"Try it, we're curious too! I want to see how it differs from stone honey. ”
"yes, let's eat, let's eat both."
Although people want to try, they don't dare to do something of great value.
Only Li Chengqian, who has stone honey, can.
Therefore, Li Chengqian suspiciously took a white rabbit toffee.
"Is this sugar?"
I was about to put it in my mouth.
"Wait!"
"What's wrong? Reluctant? ”
The value of toffee was too high, and he thought Ye Ping was stingy. But he was wrong, how many points is a candy? Ye Ping just wants to maximize the benefits!
"It's wrapping paper on the outside, you can't eat it!"
Li Chengqian was a little embarrassed.
Haha.
"I'm also tempting, don't be nervous!"
It's all like this, and you still want to save face.
Ye Ping: ......
This kid is shrewd enough, too!
After finishing, Li Chengqian unpacked the White Rabbit toffee.
At this moment, a little finger thick, white candy was exposed, and a milky smell permeated.
Li Mingyu, who was watching from the side, looked straight in both eyes.
She's close.
"This taste...... It smells so good! ”
That's what she said.
"Eat, you can try it!"
Ye Ping looked at them with a smile.
At this time, Li Chengqian opened his mouth and put a toffee into his mouth.
It's a little hard, but when the saliva touches the surface, it starts to melt and soften.
He began to chew continuously, and as time passed, his expression began to become exciting.
People also found out that something was wrong with him.
What he eats in his mouth seems to be the delicacy of the world, and his expression is satisfied, which is not pretended at all!
Everyone was stunned, and it seemed that Ye Ping was going to win.
