Chapter 159 Show off
After several versions of experiments, Su Mu chose a suitable jar, a jar made of bamboo tube. The craftsmanship was very good, the jar fit very tightly, and there was a small clip between the lid and the jar. Even if it was inverted, the lid would not loosen and would not leak at all.
A lot of lotus root powder has been produced during this period. The retired emperor Sumu sent a lot of tubes. After receiving them, the retired emperor went to the capital immediately. No one knew what he went to do. Now that there is a reserve of lotus root powder, it can be sold.
After the emperor got the lotus root powder, he couldn't wait to show it off.
"Father, why are you back?" The emperor stood up to greet the retired emperor.
"I can't come back, right? I brought some good stuff this time."
"Father, what is this item?" The emperor wondered what could have made the retired emperor come back in such a hurry.
The emperor ordered someone to bring bowls and spoons and boil a pot of boiling water.
"Wait for the water to come, father will treat you to a bowl of thick porridge!" the emperor said mysteriously.
The emperor was still wondering at this moment, how could one make a bowl of porridge by boiling only a bowl of water without any rice?
"Your Majesty, the water is here."
The emperor stood up and wanted to get it himself.
"This is absolutely not possible. I will do it myself." The young eunuch was terrified.
"It's okay, let the water go and let you go down." The emperor waved his hand.
Seeing that he had nothing to do, the young eunuch apologized and left.
"Wait a few breaths and I'll serve you a bowl of thick porridge." The emperor entered the inner room carrying a kettle. Seeing that the emperor wanted to follow him, he refused directly, "Don't come over! Wait."
How can I show off if he follows me?
The emperor reluctantly agreed and had to play with his father.
The emperor was very excited. He put down the bowl and brewed it according to the familiar process. He then added a lot of small ingredients into it, and a bowl of very, very thick lotus root powder porridge appeared.
"Come and see, this is the porridge your father made for you." The emperor came out with a beaming face.
The emperor was so surprised when he saw the thick porridge in his father's hand that his eyes widened! "How come it's so fast!"
"Hahahahahahahaha." The emperor laughed happily at the expression.
The emperor stretched his head to look behind him. Could it be that his father had been replaced? Otherwise, how could a bowl of porridge appear so quickly without even a grain of rice to bring in?
"Don't look at it! I didn't change it. I wouldn't do such a thing."
"Father, what is the reason for this?"
The emperor did not answer his question before asking, "How does it taste first?"
The emperor took a sip of the lotus root porridge with a spoon and savored it carefully. "It tastes mellow, thick, sweet and slightly sour, and there are a lot of ingredients. It tastes top-notch."
"Father, how do you cook a bowl of porridge so quickly?" The emperor's doubts grew even thicker.
"Come, I'll make you another bowl!"
The emperor was so excited that he wanted to show it to him again, so he dissolved a spoonful of lotus root powder in a spoonful of cold water, poured in boiling hot water, stirred it, and added his favorite condiments.
The emperor was surprised the moment the hot water was poured in. He watched as the small ingredients were added and within a few breaths the same porridge was made.
"This is amazing!" the emperor praised repeatedly.
"Really? This is newly made by Miss Su, it's really good." The emperor was proud of it.
"Did Xiangjun do this too?" Although he had been in the palace and rarely went out, he was very well-informed. "Miss Su is really creative."
"Girl Su is so amazing!" The retired emperor kept chattering to the emperor about how happy and leisurely his life was in Qingshan Village.
The emperor has been listening to his father's words with a smile. His father is very happy now, and he thought it was right that he did not stop his father from living in Qingshan.
Listening to the life my father described, I was moved. When I abdicate, could I take the queen with me to live there?
"Father, can she supply this lotus root powder in large quantities?"
"Do you want to provide it to the soldiers?"
The emperor said calmly, "Father, you really understand me. This lotus root porridge is easy to eat and tastes good. It can also be a snack for them."
"I'll go back and ask the little girl. The production volume is not very high. Even if it is provided, there may not be too much." The emperor reminded.
"Father, I know my limits."
"These cans were left for me by the little girl. I'll share a few between you two. Don't forget to give some to the Queen to try!" The retired emperor gave the emperor a few boxes with a reluctant look on his face.
The emperor smiled helplessly, "Father, I won't be reluctant."
"Are you pointing at me? I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to go look for someone else."
"You should take care of yourself, don't stay up too late reviewing memorials, and be careful about what you eat. You're not as healthy as I am now."
The emperor felt warm in his heart as he listened quietly to his father's caring words. He was really lucky to have such family warmth in this position.
The retired emperor gave some more instructions and left, ready to show off to Ji Hongwen and Ji Shiyan again, but they didn't know yet that the little girl had made this food.
The same thing happened repeatedly in the Prince's Mansion and Prince Chen's Mansion, and the Emperor was in a very high mood all day.
At this time, Su Mu was also in the shop in the capital.
"These are lotus root powder. We will have new food in the food store in a few days. I will give you two boxes. You can try it." Su Mu taught the waiters how to eat it.
Several guys love it very much. This simple way of eating is great.
"how?"
"My dear, this is very good!" the waiter praised.
Su Mu smiled when he heard this name, "You guys know it too?"
"That's right! Our shopkeeper has now become a village master. We are so happy. From now on, I will work under the village master. Others will envy us."
"Why are you still talking nonsense?" Su Mu joked.
"We are speaking from the bottom of our hearts. We are not trying to deceive the Lord of the Village." The clerk looked sincere. Now that the shopkeeper is the Lord of the Village, they have to do their work better.
"There's still a lot of candy here, you can move it into the shop and sell it together."
A lot of beet sugar has been stored during this period, and it is a good time to release it now. If you like sweet food, you can add some sugar to the lotus root powder.
"We actually have candy for sale in our shop! This is a rare commodity."
"We have the priceless pepper in our shop, so what's the use of having some extra sugar?"
Su Mu just listened to several people praising the shop one after another.
"Put the goods in the warehouse first, and promote the new things in the store in the next two days."
“Yeah.”
Su Mu explained a few more things and then left for the vegetable shop.
"Miss!" Du Erniang came out to greet her happily. "I haven't congratulated you on being named a county lady yet!"
"These are some small items made for you, please take a look and see if they suit your taste."
Su Mu opened the box, which contained some small consumable items such as handkerchiefs. They were very delicate and you could tell at a glance that they were carefully embroidered.
