Since Sun Xiangfu and Yu Xiu'er brought back some Mengxue classics when they returned to Yufu, Sun Deshou and Sun Lili and the twenty children from Xingfu Village ended their happy childhood.

The eldest sister-in-law is very fierce, it hurts to smoke people with a ruler, ten words a day, she can't read and write, even the eldest brother can't protect herself, and those four-word and four-word scriptures, you have to shake your head and read for two hours every day, it's really a kind of rush that is worse than death.

Sun Xiangfu is very busy, the second snow in Chang'an came, even the Wei River is frozen, the Turkic captives who are busy on the construction site will freeze to death several times a day, but at this time due to the single and scarce food, the fish sales of the two shops of the Fisheries Division are extremely hot, and the scale fish are sold to forty Wen a catty, which is comparable to mutton, but even at this price, it will take tens of thousands of catties a day to meet the market, even if the Fisheries Division has more reserves, in the absence of a source, it can not afford the supply of this market, so the sub-ice fishing method will also be introduced, Sun Xiangfu personally instructed and spent two days teaching the fishermen of the Fisheries Division.

On this day, in a conservatory of Sun Xiangfu's house, a bowl of white and tender tofu flowers was brought out by Nie Sanniang.

"The village chief, ma'am, is done. White as snow, soft as fat, and without an unpleasant beany smell. ”

Sun Xiangfu took the white porcelain bowl, took a spoon, scooped a spoonful into his mouth and tasted it carefully.

"Well, this tastes good, if only some honey frosting or sauerkraut foam was added to it."

In fact, Sun Xiangfu wants to say that this is the taste, in the rural hometown of later generations, every time in the middle of winter, each family will beat tofu, and at this time, Sun Xiangfu will stay aside and wait to eat tofu flowers, and he is very familiar with the entire production process of tofu.

I remember going home one year after graduate school, my grandfather put too much gypsum when he beat tofu, and the tofu was hard to swallow, Sun Xiangfu also specially asked his grandmother about the proportion of gypsum when beating tofu, and now, Nie Sanniang and the servants in the house make tofu completely according to his requirements, naturally there will be no mistakes.

"Lady, have a bowl."

After that, Sun Xiangfu handed Yu Xiuer a bowl of tofu flowers with honey, and sure enough, after taking a bite, Yu Xiuer fell in love with this food.

In fact, tofu existed in the Han Dynasty, and it was invented by Liu An, the king of Huainan, but it was difficult to eat at first, and no one made it. And now Sun Xiangfu has asked people to make it, which is the best production method accumulated through thousands of years of technology, and of course it is delicious.

Tang people like sweet, Sun Xiangfu is not, add a little sauerkraut foam tofu is also delicious, eat two bowls in a row, Sun Xiangfu said, "Wrap these bean curd with silk cloth, press and dehydrate, and it will become tofu." Then press with a heavy object, you can make a dried tofu, add some egg whites appropriately, you can make the dried bean curd more tender, and the bean dregs are also treasures, you can add some lard and green onion dogwood in the iron pot to stir-fry, it is a good dish, it can also be kneaded into a ball to dry, cut into slices and then put on the hot pot, it is also delicious. ”

Soybeans are treasures, known as plant meat, and the yield is greater than millet and rice, high yield without hurting the land, even in this period with the newly opened wasteland planting, the yield per mu has reached more than three stones, Sun Xiangfu is confident that the soybean planted after the spring next year, the yield per mu will be more than four stones, which is more than twice the yield of other crops with a yield of about two stones per mu during this period.

"This tofu flower, the husband should immediately send some to the Yigong Mansion, or the imperial dining room."

"Oh, it's nothing to give it to the Yigong Mansion, send it to the palace, what do you think you can get for your husband?"

As soon as Sun Xiangfu thought of the appearance of the iron rooster of the eldest grandson queen, he was depressed, the fishery department is now about to develop, she actually sent a prisoner to herself, and shared her own benefits in vain, and now, in addition to the salaries of those scribes and servants, Sun Xiangfu can get only one percent of the money.

"There is a wonderful thing in the world, if you don't present the monarch as soon as possible, I'm afraid the monarch won't like it."

Look at the ideological consciousness of the ancient people, after listening to Yu Xiuer's words, Sun Xiangfu knew why he was not rewarded for his merits, it turned out that Li Shimin had a stalk in his heart, so he didn't say much at the moment, and sent someone to put a few big food boxes with bean curd, and cut some of the beaten tofu pieces, and went to the palace.

Sun Xiangfu has a straight access to the imperial dining room through the palace card, after a while, he saw Luo Khotan, in Luo Khotan here asked for a small charcoal stove to heat the tofu flower that was about to cool down, put it in a porcelain bowl, add honey, let him taste a bowl first, after getting Luo Tian's praise, the two of them carried the warmed food box, hurried to the Lizheng Palace.

Li Shimin's life is very comfortable now, he has never been so eager for snow, once it snows, the Turks' actions will become sluggish, Wei Chigong will have good news, now, Jieli is about to go to Yumen Pass, and his 150,000 army, there are only more than 100,000 left, a million cattle and sheep, and they were robbed half by Yu Chigong and Zhang Gongjin, just waiting for Cheng Yanjin to give him a hard blow at the end, and then let his remnants return to the grassland, so Li Shimin spent every day in the same size of the good news.

"Your Majesty, Niangniang, there is the head of the imperial dining room Luo and the grandson of the fishery department asking to see you." The king of the chamberlain has to preach with the pass.

"Hehe, the two of them came together, didn't they have a delicious meal to offer? Hurry up and bring it in! Li Shimin loved to practice calligraphy when he was in the winter, and when he heard this, he looked at the eldest grandson queen who was grinding ink for him and smiled.

This is the first time that Sun Xiangfu has taken the initiative to offer something to the emperor, and in the eyes of these two people, this girl married a daughter-in-law, which is indeed enlightened.

"No."

Wang Deyong retreated, and after a while, Luo Tian and Sun Xiangfu were brought into the palace.

"Your Majesty, Sun Xiamu has developed a delicacy today, called tofu flower, and Weichen is about to offer a meal to His Majesty."

"Bring it in."

Luo Khotan was responsible for serving Li Shimin's meals on weekdays, and when he got permission, he opened the food box in front of the desk, which contained a pot of steaming tofu flowers and several porcelain bowls, some of which contained sugar, some porcelain bowls contained sauerkraut foam, as well as salt and honey. He knew that Li Shimin and his wife had an appetite and liked sweetness, so he filled two bowls, added honey and a little sugar, put a spoon, and put the bowls in front of them.

"The queen eats with me."

"Your Majesty, please." Empress Eldest Sun also picked up a bowl of Dao.

Seeing that the tofu flowers were as white as snow, soft as paste, and there was a faint fragrance, Li Shimin suddenly felt that his appetite was greatly boosted, of course, he was originally a foodie, and both of them were foodies, because of the three views of the two of them, which led to the beauty of plump in this period.

"Well, it's delicious, it's made from soybeans?" Li Shimin tasted a small bite at first, and then ate two large spoonfuls before he said.

"Your Majesty, exactly." Rodan replied.

"Let him speak!" Li Shimin glanced at Sun Xiangfudao, who had been robbed and shrunk behind after entering the Lizheng Palace.

"Your Majesty, this thing is made of soybeans, in addition, there are tofu, tofu skin, dried beans, and bean dregs, all of which are delicacies, and later on, Mr. Luo will cook it for His Majesty to taste." Sun Xiangfu knew that he couldn't hide, so he stepped forward and arched his hand.

"I know soybeans, people are prone to flatulence, mostly horse feed, many of your delicacies are made of soybeans, will people eat too much will have flatulence discomfort symptoms?" Li Shimin raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, these bean products and delicacies that Weichen painstakingly developed have solved this problem very well, so I dare to taste them with Your Majesty." Sun Xiangfu replied honestly, but no matter how you look at it, there is a slight smug look on his face, this time, you should give me something to reward!

"Hmph, you kid, you'll only tinker with these things all day long, I ask you, when will you send someone to make a fire in my palace and install a warm pot!"

"Uh, ah! This, Shu Weichen didn't think about it carefully, he didn't expect that the palace would also need it, and after he went back, he would definitely arrange it immediately. ”

Since Sun Xiangfu's wedding, more than a dozen Pankang teams led by his apprentices Wang Fu, Wang Gui, Ma Lin, and Zhang Quan have not stopped working.

Qin Qiong, Dugumou, Wei Chi Mansion, Cheng Mansion, Pei Mansion, and Changsun Chong Mansion all set up a fire kang, and these families are all big and big, and they haven't been busy for several days, but the news has reached Li Shimin first, there are good things, the courtiers enjoy them first, and then it is the emperor's turn, which is called how Li Shimin can bear it.

Therefore, in the past few days, Li Shimin is just looking to see if Sun Xiangfu will take the initiative to make a kang for himself, if this person really has no king and no father in his heart, then even if he is not sentenced to death, he will be refrigerated for the rest of his life, and sending a prisoner to the Fisheries Department is a warning.

But who knew that as soon as he made a delicacy like tofu flower today, he dedicated it to himself for the first time, and he finally had a little conscience, and the matter of Pan Kang may really be his lack of thought!

What Li Shimin didn't know was that if Sun Xiangfu hadn't married Yu Xiu'er, a virtuous helper, he would have gone farther and farther on the road of death.

"Okay, I will forgive you this time, your tofu flower is very delicious, tell the imperial dining room how to make it, just retreat!"

Yes, I came to the palace with good intentions to offer food, and I actually got the words 'forgive you for your innocence', this Lizheng Palace is really not a good place, this palace is not a good place, Sun Xiangfu thought so, but he didn't dare not pour out the little thing in his stomach, otherwise, the emperor's image of himself would not change, in fact, his image in Li Shimin's heart has long been terrible, at most he is a courtier.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a matter that must be reminded to His Majesty."

"Wake up? You kid dare to say it, and tell it. ”

Eating other people's things, he is not soft at all, and he picks his nose and eyes at others, is this really good?

Sun Xiangfu really wanted to hold back the words in his stomach at this time, but the words had already come out, so he couldn't say it.

"Actually, Weichen thinks that tofu is related to politics, Your Majesty, think about it, the yield per mu of millet, rice, and wheat is only more than two stones, and soybeans, at least more than three stones, if it is sown in fertile land, it can even reach more than four stones, and the growth cycle is short, and in warm places, two seasons can be planted a year, and now, soybean food is edible······"

Hearing this, Li Shimin's eyes suddenly burst into a gleam, and he waved his hand and said, "Wang Deyong, quickly pass on the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui into the palace." ”

After that, Li Shimin pointed to Sun Xiangfu again, "Don't leave the palace, you kid, go to the imperial dining room, and make a few bean delicacies you said, and I will use dinner to entertain the minister." ”
