Chapter 562: Red Cloth
"Someone, bring it!"
At this time, Guan Lux walked into the hall with a plate.
His appearance directly attracted everyone's attention.
Everyone looked at the plate covered with a red cloth and guessed what was in the plate.
Some people say that this is a book, just like Li Chengqian did before, he wrote all the plans into the book.
And some people say that this is actually Li Chengqian's trickery.
Someone sneered directly, because of the things on this plate, how could it be possible to solve the riots in a region?
No one would have thought about what it was.
"What is this? Reveal it quickly! ”
Li Shimin couldn't help it anymore, and his curiosity made him very eager to see what was in it.
Empress Eldest Sun knew, but she didn't say it.
"Yes! Your Majesty! ”
Guan Lux directly uncovered the red cloth, and on the plate, a pile of white substances was piled up, which was crystal clear and shiny.
People are starting to speculate again. Some people even think that this pile of things is a treasure or something, because it looks too tempting. It's like a small piece of glass.
"This thing looks amazing, what is it?"
Li Shimin asked for the second time.
Li Chengqian said slowly: "This is white sugar!" Come, hand the sugar to Your Majesty! ”
The sugar has also been handed to Li Shimin.
"Sugar? Is it sugar? But I remember that sugar is not like this, how can there be such a beautiful sugar in this world!? ”
Xiao Yu said.
Li Chengqian said directly: "If you haven't seen it, it doesn't mean that you haven't!" ”
"Your Majesty, the concubine thinks you can give it a try."
"Guanyin, have you tried this white sugar? How does it taste? ”
Empress Eldest Sun nodded and said, "Yes, the taste of this sugar is very delicate, not much worse than honey at all. It's a lot of it, and it's not as expensive as some things. It's gone before I can taste it. I ate it yesterday, and I still have an aftertaste. ”
Empress Eldest Sun said this, which made Liu Hongji's face look very ugly.
The meaning is that he sent too little honey yesterday. I haven't even tasted it yet, which is really embarrassing.
But that was the most he could come up with.
No more, he couldn't take it out. One is that it is expensive, and the other is that it is very rare in winter, and money cannot buy it.
The words of Empress Eldest Sun made Li Shimin's heart itch unbearably when he heard it.
He shouted, "Hurry up and give me something to eat." I want to taste it and see if that tastes like this! ”
Li Shimin waved his hand, and someone brought the plate to him.
"Your Majesty, don't eat indiscriminately! The dragon body is safe! ”
A group of old-fashioned ministers said directly.
Li Shimin's face was gloomy.
"The queen ate it yesterday, there must be no problem, what are you still worried about? No one is allowed to speak again! No one is allowed to stop me! ”
As soon as his words came out, the ministers did not dare to speak again.
He picked up some sugar and threw it directly into his mouth. Completely ignoring the minister's presence, he just grabbed it with his hands.
The white sugar melted directly from his mouth, so that he couldn't help but admire, "This sugar is so sweet, there is no bitter taste when it is finished, and the stone honey from Tianzhu can't be compared at all!" Good stuff, really good stuff! ”
After a few more bites, it felt like an addiction.
His mouth was full of sugar particles, and he said as he ate it: "It tastes much cooler than honey!" ”
In this way, it can be said that I am very satisfied with white sugar. It even exudes intoxication
The ministers couldn't stop swallowing their saliva, but they couldn't eat it.
Then Li Shimin said: "Zongzi dipped in sugar and eaten together, it must be delicious." ”
Empress Changsun also said: "The taste of tofu brain with sugar must be tempting. ”
"I think so, too! Rong Zhen eat some more! ”
Li Shimin ate it directly.
Xiao Yu said: "What does white sugar have to do with Lingnan? I can't see it! ”
"Your Majesty, let's let the ministers send troops!"
Liu Hongji also said.
The views of these two people represent the views of some people, but not all.
When Li Shimin heard it, it seemed to be the case, what does this food have to do with Lingnan?
"Gao Ming, this white sugar doesn't seem to have anything to do with Lingnan!"
Li Shimin asked.
Li Chengqian said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, the key lies in this white sugar, do you ever know what the white sugar is made of?" ”
Li Chengqian's question made everyone at a loss.
Xiao Yu said coldly:
"How do we know what these things are made of!"
Others also said they didn't know.
Li Chengqian ignored it
Li Shimin is even more so.
"Guanyin, you went to the East Palace yesterday, do you know?"
"The concubine doesn't know!"
Empress Eldest Sun said truthfully.
And Li Chengqian didn't want to hide it, so he said directly: "Actually, this is made of gray sugar!" ”
Grey sugar? As soon as these words came out, they directly met with everyone's backlash, and no one wanted to believe that gray sugar could make white sugar like snow.
Because these are two things. It's hard to imagine, it's not true.
They didn't eat it, but judging from Li Shimin's performance, the sugar tasted quite good.
even has to win the honey brought by Liu Hongji.
What do you say Liu Hongji is talking about?
finally stammered Li Shimin and the eldest grandson.
This is good, a white sugar will directly compare him to him.
This is embarrassing, my honey is useless in front of white sugar.
In this way, he doesn't want to believe anything.
So he came out and said, "Is white sugar really made from gray sugar?" Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, don't lie to us, it's not fun. ”
"Kui Guogong, do you think it is necessary for this king to lie to you? Is there any benefit in lying to you? Not at all, okay? As for the process, this king will show you when the time comes. ”
Only then did the crowd ease up a little.
As for Li Shimin, he has long been convinced of this matter.
He muttered, "I didn't expect gray sugar to be able to make such delicious white sugar. ”
"But what does this sugar have to do with Lingnan? I want to know, too. ”
Now it seems to be bypassed.
Li Chengqian stepped forward directly and said, "Your Majesty, where did the gray sugar come from?" ”
"As far as I know, it's for the sugar cane!"
Li Shimin said.
"Your Majesty is wise! Sure enough, it was right. ”
Sugarcane comes out of gray sugar, presumably many people don't know it, but after today, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military people know it.
But Li Chengqian talked about sugarcane again, what is going on?
What does it have to do with sugarcane? Everyone was completely confused.
At the same time, he couldn't wait to open Li Chengqian's mouth and let him tell all of them, what the reason was.
He spit it out little by little, which is really depressing.
