Chapter 4 Saltpeter Ice Making (Part I) Back in the dormitory, Xiaofuzi has returned.
But Li Zhen didn't have time to talk to him for the time being, because he was being taught a lesson by Concubine Yan, and Li Zhen never knew that such a beauty would have an eloquence comparable to that of Tang Seng.
This ideological education has been going on for more than an hour, and Li Zhen has only broken free from Concubine Yan's clutches, Concubine Yan has been away for a quarter of an hour, but Li Zhen still feels that her ears are buzzing, until Xiaofuzi comes over.
"Your Highness, the kitchen utensils have been found, what else do you command?"
Xiaofuzi is eleven years old this year, and he has entered the palace since he was a child.
Lee Jung was assigned to him as soon as he was born.
"Help me build the stove."
Li Zhen felt that she was a fool, and there were obviously many subordinates around her who didn't know how to use it, but fortunately, it wasn't too late.
Xiaofuzi and they worked, sitting on the chair and watching, Li Zhen felt that the Tang Dynasty was still very good.
The stove is temporarily unusable, and it will take two days for the mud to dry before it can be used.
"Xiaofuzi, which of you can cook?"
Li Zhen is too young now, he needs a helper as his own special cook, and as a prince, it is not like to do it himself, so he just took advantage of this time to cultivate one first.
A group of little eunuchs looked at each other, and one of them came out: "Your Highness Qiqi, a small pillar, I have learned a little cooking." ” Li Zhen looked at the little pillar, although she was young, she could already see the figure of the cook: "Yes, I will teach you in two days, and you can cook for me." ” Xiaozhu hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, Your Highness." ” There are no secrets in the palace, today Li Zhen instructed the imperial kitchen to cook for the emperor to eat, the emperor is very satisfied, the news has been spread, and now everyone in the palace knows that His Royal Highness Li Zhen has obtained the inheritance of immortals and learned countless kinds of delicacies.
This is still because Li Shimin blocked the news, otherwise I am afraid that it would have spread to the outside world now.
Two days later, the stove was already usable, and the small pillar made a dish of loach taro under Li Zhen's guidance, Li Zhen ate it with 'tears in her eyes', it was not easy, and she didn't know how she survived these two days.
After eating the loach taro, Li Zhen asked Xiaozhuzi to make a sweet and sour carp and sent it to Concubine Yan, who liked it very much.
From then on, Xiaozhu made two dishes for each meal, one for himself and one for Concubine Yan......
Well, Li Da foodie seems to have forgotten someone.
Therefore, Li Zhen's good days did not last a few days, and with a paper order, Xiaozhu was transferred to the Shangshi Bureau.
This order was like a thunderbolt from the sky, beating Li Zhen blindly, this is definitely Li Shimin's means, ruthless enough.
However, Li Zhen was not afraid, and secretly warned Xiaozhu that it was okay to cook the dishes he taught him for others, but he had to exchange his own life, and he didn't have to do it himself, and the old man would not let him go.
These words frightened Xiao Zhuzi's face pale, and he swore in front of Li Zhen that he would never leak the recipe, nor would he cook according to the recipe.
That being said, Xiao Zhuzi has been with Li Zhen for so many days, and he has learned not only recipes, but also several cooking techniques and the characteristics of several ingredients, which alone can make him improve his cooking skills, at least it is definitely enough to gain a firm foothold in the Shangshi Bureau.
After Xiao Zhuzi left, Li Zhen hurriedly picked a replacement.
This time, Li Zhen wisely no longer chose eunuchs, but asked Concubine Yan for a palace maid who could cook.
"You, I really don't know what's going on with your father and son, say that you are enemies, you are not like enemies, if you want to say that you are father and son, how can there be father and son who do this to each other?
You're tearing each other down.
"Today, Li Zhen accompanied Concubine Yan to dinner, and when she talked about what happened a few days ago, Concubine Yan couldn't cry or laugh.
Li Zhen snorted angrily: "It's really my father who is too bullying, didn't he forget him when he delivered the meal, as for transferring my cook?"
” Concubine Yan smiled: "But you can't threaten that cook, if your father wants to taste any new dishes, he will come to me." ” "Wouldn't that be better?
The mother concubine can accompany her father more.
As soon as Li Zhen finished speaking, she received a slap on the head.
Concubine Yan was annoyed and said angrily: "Stinky boy, where did you get so many fancy intestines?"
Did you learn it from the old immortals?
” Li Zhen climbed along the pole: "Yes, I have thought of a lot of recipes these days, and I will give my mother a chance to try them." ” "Why is it still a recipe?
You wouldn't want to think of anything else?
” "My child has recently discovered that only the things I need are easy to remember, and the more I need them, the easier it is to remember."
Li Zhen is full of nonsense.
"And that said?"
Concubine Yan nodded: "But it makes sense." ” "And what do you need now?"
Li Zhen was not good when she heard this voice, she sneaked in and eavesdropped on other people's conversations, is it fun?
You are the emperor, father, let Wei Zheng catch you, aren't you afraid that he will spit on you?
"I've seen the emperor (father)."
Although full of resentment, there should be no less etiquette.
Li Shimin waved his hand to get them up, then stared at Li Zhen and said, "Tell me, what do you need now?"

” "I need ice right now."
Li Zhen said her needs very honestly, it was hot and she could already fry eggs on the stones.
"I also need ice, but there aren't many ice cubes stored in winter, and the day to give ice hasn't come yet, so you can bear with it."
Saying that, Li Shimin twisted Li Zhen's face with all his might.
Li Zhen finally broke free, and she didn't know when she learned the problem, so she always liked to screw people's faces: "If the child can provide enough ice, what kind of reward will the father give?"
” "What kind of reward do you want?"
"Thunder, rain and dew are all Jun'en."
Li Zhencai didn't say it, he didn't know the value of ice in this era, and his tone was like this, so it was better to take the initiative to let Li Shimin make a price.
"How about making you king?"
Li Shimin tempted.
Concubine Yan said worriedly: "The emperor ......" wants to circle but doesn't dare to do it all.
But Li Zhen looked at Li Shimin with idiot-like eyes.
Li Shimin was looked down upon: "What are you looking at me like this?"
” Li Zhen said quietly: "I will be crowned king sooner or later, I'm not in a hurry." ” "Hahahaha......"
Li Shimin looked at Li Zhen, a three-year-old child posed like this, how did he feel happy, he couldn't help laughing, and even Concubine Yan on the side couldn't help laughing.
"Let's be serious and get down to business."
Who would have thought, as soon as Li Zhen said this, Li Shimin and Concubine Yan laughed even more, and even the palace maids and eunuchs serving on the side were covering their mouths and snickering.
"Do you want ice?"
Li Shimin immediately stopped smiling, and his eyes widened: "You really have a way?"
” "Yes, there is a delicacy called shaved ice in the food encyclopedia, which mentions the method of making ice."
Li Zhen is very proud, I put the ice-making method on the "Food Encyclopedia", I think you dare to underestimate the chef's skills?
"Really?
What's the solution?
Li Shimin immediately asked, he really needs ice now, Chang'an is so hot, and the south is even more provoking, yesterday's Jiannan Dao also mentioned that someone has died of heat, Li Shimin is also anxious in his heart, if Li Zhen really has a way, it will really help him a lot.
Guan Yang stretched out his palm, Li Shimin knew what it meant, and stuffed the fan in his hand to Li Zhen: "Enough, right?"
” Li Zhen still stretched out his hand: "If my father only needs the method of making shaved ice, this fan is enough, but the method of making ice is more than this price." ” "And what do you want?"
"Father, look at it."
"In this way, when you become king, I will give you a larger fief?"
Li Shimin promised.
"How much?"
Li Shimin stretched out a finger, Li Zhen shook his head in disappointment, Li Shimin thought for a while, and added a finger painfully, it seemed that he had reached his bottom line.
Li Zhen also knew what was going on, and it seemed that she shouldn't be able to squeeze out much, so she nodded quickly: "Okay, although it's a little less, but for the sake of your father's face, I should help you."
Don't change it, right?
” "......"
Li Shimin almost vomited blood, this is already a lot, right?
"Don't change.
Let's high-five.
Barely swallowing a breath, the father and son struck three times with two palms, one large and one small, and the oath was completed.
Rubbing the numb palms, it was definitely deliberate, Li Zhen turned her head and said to Xiao Fuzi: "Go find some saltpeter, and bring a basin of water by the way." ” Xiao Fuzi answered and ran to the Imperial Medical Department, he knew that saltpeter was a kind of medicinal material, and the Imperial Medical Department would definitely have it.
Turning his head, he hurriedly pleaded guilty: "This is the old man's order, don't blame me." ” said that he sat on Li Shimin's lap - if you don't be coquettish and cute at this time, when will you stay?
Li Shimin said: "My father knows that it is the meaning of the old immortals, and my father also understands that the Tao cannot be passed on lightly.
Don't worry, my father doesn't blame you. ” "Thank you, Father."
"Is saltpeter used to make ice?"
Li Zhen tugged at Li Shimin's beard and said coquettishly: "Hmm." ” Although she was disgusted in her heart, Li Zhen could only endure it, and when she looked at Li Shimin again, she seemed to enjoy it.
Unable to stand his expression, he slammed his hand, and several beards were pulled off.

"Whew!"
Li Shimin screamed bitterly.
"The emperor atoned for his sins."
Concubine Yan hurriedly pleaded guilty.
"It's okay, it's okay."
Looking at Li Shimin's painful appearance, Li Zhen felt a lot more comfortable.
