Chapter 135: Good Taste
Chapter 135
After the eunuch passed the message, the two entered the Ganlu Hall and met the eldest grandson queen.
"This is Shi Mi?!"
After the two explained their intentions, Empress Eldest Sun picked up a small piece of pale yellow crystal wrapped in cloth on the table.
"Mother, be careful."
Ge Bao, the eunuch next to him, was shocked.
"It's okay, it's not like I haven't done housework before."
When Li Yuan's father and son were still in Jinyang, because Li Jiancheng was not in Jinyang, everything in Li Yuan's mansion was managed by the eldest grandson Wuji.
Empress Eldest Sun is not the kind of person who doesn't eat minced meat.
Naturally, I know what stone honey looks like.
Stone honey is a foreign product, and Datang has not produced it at this time. In other words, the production process of stone honey at this time in the Tang Dynasty was actually lagging behind Tianzhu, which was known as the Brahmin.
At present, most of the stone honey produced by Datang on the market is not very good.
Because the method of drying in the shade is adopted, the time period is longer, and the second is black and yellow after being produced.
Bad condition!
Compared with the stone honey produced by Datang itself, the Brahmin stone honey is better than the stone honey produced by the Datang Yin dry method because of the steamed sugar method.
However, Brahmanite honey still has a black-brown color.
And Ye Xiaoniang's stone honey is different.
It is pale yellow and tastes better than Brahmanite honey.
There are fewer impurities inside.
Because although the sugar making method given by the system did not make the preparation method of white sugar, it was made by the method of bringing Wang Fatzi back from Tianzhu and the bamboo strip method after the improvement of the craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty.
A layer of straw is strained while the sugar is steamed.
After such improvement, the stone honey produced is naturally better than the Brahmin stone honey that is now popular in the market.
Seeing that Empress Changsun wanted to throw this stone honey directly into her mouth and taste it, Ge Bao said.
"Don't break the rules of the palace, the slave family will try it for the mother!"
All the food in the palace had to go through the Shang Shan Bureau, and it was necessary to be signed by the eunuchs before the food could be handed to these nobles.
In order to trace the source of food and prevent poisoning.
Although this thing came from Ye Xiaoniang, Empress Changsun did not doubt it.
But after all, it is the rules formulated by the harem, and as the head of the harem, it is not easy for the eldest grandson queen to say anything?!
"Then you can taste it first!"
After finishing speaking, Empress Changsun handed the rock candy in her hand to Ge Bao.
Ge Bao opened his mouth wide and put the rock candy in his mouth.
A moment later, Ge Bao's eyes widened.
"How?!"
Empress Eldest Sun asked curiously.
"It's very sweet, and the Brahmin stone honey served in this palace is a little different, it feels ......"
Ge Bao thought for a moment, and then said.
"It feels a lot better."
Hearing this, Empress Eldest Sun fell silent.
There are a lot of pastries in this palace, many pastries need to be added with stone honey, although the eldest grandson queen has never been in business, Ye Xiaoniang proposed to do a little business before, and the eldest grandson queen only thought that Ye Xiaoniang was joking.
When the finished product was placed here, I couldn't help but be surprised.
"Is this really something you guys have come up with?!"
Ye Xiaoniang nodded.
Before, Ye Xiaoniang mentioned that she would give the eldest grandson queen, that is, the inner treasury of the palace.
However, Empress Eldest Sun is a kind person, and now that the things are really in front of her, Empress Eldest Sun hesitates.
Although I don't know how much interest will be involved here, it shouldn't be a small amount of money.
"But after all, the royal family didn't contribute, so it doesn't seem appropriate to sit back and enjoy it, right?!"
The reason why Empress Changsun hesitated was because Empress Changsun was a kind person.
"Queen Mother, I've thought it all through. In the future, the name of our tooth shop will be called Datang Dragon Tooth Chamber of Commerce, this is a semi-official guild, the queen mother, you think, this stone honey is actually very good to sell, as long as it is put on the market, there are suitable distribution channels, it will inevitably market the entire Datang. No! Not only Datang, we can also carry out foreign trade. The nobility of other countries will also inevitably flock to this new stone honey. There are great interests here, so it must be regulated at the beginning, so that other unscrupulous businessmen will not see the interests and act counterfeiting. ”
After hearing Ye Xiaoniang's words, Empress Eldest Sun closed her eyes and thought for a moment.
Suddenly, Empress Eldest Sun thought of a possibility.
"I remember the raw material of this stone honey is sugar cane, right?!"
"That's right! What's wrong?! ”
Ye Xiaoniang was stunned for a moment, and didn't understand why Empress Eldest Sun asked this.
"I want to tell the Holy God about this."
After finishing speaking, Empress Eldest Sun put away the stone honey, and then took Ye Xiaoniang and the others towards another hall next to her.
Ye Xiaoniang has never fought uncertain battles, and there are some problems with the attitude of Empress Changsun.
Taking advantage of this time, Ye Xiaoniang asked towards the system.
[Why is Empress Eldest Sun so excited?! 】
"Have you forgotten what I told you?! War is peace, and in the same way, trade is peace! What is the biggest headache for Datang now?! 】
[Turkic?! Tibetan?! 】
[Nope! It's Feng Ang of Lingnan! 】
[Feng An?! 】
[That's right! According to the previous historical trajectory, Li Shimin would go directly to Feng Ang to write a book, and transfer to bite Jin and others to control the surrounding areas in the southwest such as Luzhou, and the troops would command Lingnan, and then after such pressure, Feng Ang finally had to send protons into Chang'an. But now there's stone honey! 】
[But it's just a commodity?!] What big impact can it have on Lingnan?! 】
Hearing that Ye Xiaoniang still had doubts, the system could only explain patiently.
[Have you ever heard of changing the land and returning to the stream?! 】
[Speaking of Shi Mi, why is it involved in changing the land and returning to the stream?! 】
Ye Xiaoniang was even more confused.
[Similar to the current Guanlong problem, the power of Lingnan is also concentrated in the hands of one family after another, not to mention the Tang Dynasty, even if it is in the Ming Dynasty, Lingnan is also a big problem. The meaning of changing the land and returning to the stream is to change the Tusi power of these families into the official system of the imperial court, but in this way, it will inevitably violate the interests of those families. 】
[Lingnan is the production area of sugarcane, think about it, if Lingnan began to grow sugarcane in a large area, and profited from it, and the sugarcane production method was in the hands of the imperial court. Think about it, if this is the case, it is not only the Tang government that can make a huge amount of money from Lingnan every year. What's more, let the natives in the entire Lingnan who originally relied on hunting begin to settle down, if they can have enough food and clothing, who would want to rebel with Feng An?! In this way, it is conducive to the stability of Datang. 】
[To sum up, this is the policy of changing the land and returning to the stream. 】
[The system side quest is released, and the southern policy is leveled. 】
