"The world is delicious!"
Princess Changle raised her spoon and took an elegant bite. She immediately got out of control and deeply loved this delicious food.
Ice cream is one of the favorite foods for children and women in later generations. Of course, it is no exception in the era of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Chengqian also tasted one, and could not help but sigh deeply. The cool and delicious food is indeed the best weapon for summing up summer heat. No wonder Merton looked at himself with that look. The history of ice in the palace has been long-standing in winter, and it has been eating ice directly, compared with the ice cream in front of him, which is woodlouse.
"Ice cream!"
The two tasted the delicious food and thought that Merton would give the food a name. They couldn't help nodding. The good name was like delicious.
Of course, Merton didn't forget to give himself one. After tasting it, the familiar feeling immediately came to his heart. Although it is slightly inferior to the ice cream of later generations, it is a surprise to eat such delicious food.
"I want to eat!"
Li Zhi is the most greedy. He has already finished the sweet cone in his hand. He looks at Li Chengqian eagerly.
When Chengqian thought of Merton's warning, he couldn't help looking at Merton. Merton thought about it and nodded: "another one at most. I'm afraid his stomach can't bear any more."
Li Chengqian nodded slightly and said, "give nine younger brothers a small share!"
Zhou Yuchu immediately gave Li Zhi another ice cream according to Merton's method, but the weight was halved. Rao was so, which still made Li Zhi smile.
Princess Changle reluctantly ate her ice cream and sighed: "Lord Mo is worthy of being the God of wealth of Chang'an city. With this ability to turn stone into gold, how can Mohism not be rich."
The news that Mojia village pays taxes directly has naturally spread all over the palace, and Princess Changle has naturally heard of it. It is only today that she is convinced by Merton's ability to turn stone into gold.
Ice, honey and fruit are common in the imperial palace. Who would have thought that they could become such delicious food in the hands of mojiazi.
"I want to give consideration to the food and clothing of 5000 people. I can only be covered with copper. I also envy your Highness's life without worrying about money and food." Merton said with envy on his face.
"Do you think the princes and princesses don't worry about money? They usually spend money in their own palace and give rewards to their servants. Each palace has so much salary every month. How can they spend enough?" Princess Changle said with a bitter smile.
In fact, Princess Changle can't say something. It's usually good. Especially when she meets the elders in the Imperial Palace, who doesn't need to prepare birthday gifts? Supreme Emperor Li Yuan, father, mother, and many imperial concubines need to save their expenses in the palace every time to prepare decent birthday gifts. Who doesn't want to prepare generous gifts and honor their parents and elders.
Li Chengqian is also embarrassed. As a prince, he usually needs more money, but he has no other income. Coupled with his prominent status, people stare at him all the time. If he is not short of money, no one believes it.
Of course, Li Zhi and Princess Jinyang don't have such worries at present. As long as they offer a word and copy a filial piety Sutra, it's enough. They don't pay much and get a lot of rewards.
"Uh, uh!"
Merton couldn't help but be shocked. He didn't expect that as a prince, the princess would be embarrassed. Of course, this is only relative.
Suddenly Merton had an idea, pointed to the ice cream in his hand and said, "Your Highness, do you think the ice cream is delicious?"
Princess Changle was surprised and said, "that's nature, not just delicious. This is the best thing to relieve summer heat in summer."
Li Chengqian nodded in agreement. I'm afraid from now on, ice cream will be called the most popular food in the palace in summer. As for the insipid ice, no one will eat it anymore.
"If this ice cream is sold in Chang'an City, will it be popular?" Merton continued.
Princess Changle nodded and said, "it's natural. This delicious food will be as popular in Chang'an City as a cake."
Merton pointed out: "ice cream is a delicacy offered by Weichen to his four Highnesses. Naturally, this formula belongs to his four Highnesses."
"You mean to let us use this to open a shop in Chang'an city to make money?" Princess Changle said with exquisite mind.
"Yes! Princess, you can imagine that once this ice cream appears in Chang'an City, it will naturally be all the rage, and your highness will not have to worry about spending it in the palace any more.
Princess Changle's eyes lit up when she heard the speech. She was no longer a little girl who had been in the deep palace for a long time. After several months of experience in medical school, she had already seen the outside world and naturally knew the importance of money.
"No, as a royal family, how can we compete for profits with the people!" Li Chengqian suddenly shook his head.
Princess Changle's face suddenly darkened. The royal family enjoyed the worship of all the people. Naturally, she also had to abide by the rules. I'm afraid competing for profits with the people would attract the opposition of the Manchu Dynasty. At that time, she could not get rid of her relationship as a princess.
"Competing for profits with the people?" Merton asked, "do people have ice cream? Competing for profits with who!"
Li Chengqian immediately concluded that the saltpeter ice making was initiated by Merton, and so was the ice cream. This is something that the people have never had, and no one has made a profit from it. How can we compete for profits with the people.
Princess Changle suddenly became cheerful and jumped with joy. In this way, the biggest obstacle has been eliminated. As for whether the princess can do business, it is not an obstacle. It is enough to find someone to take charge. As far as Changle knows, many of her aunts have their own industries and do so.
"Li Zhi and I won't be involved in this matter. Let's leave it to you and Jinyang!" Li Chengqian said to Princess Changle. The system of the Tang Dynasty is more tolerant to the princess, but it is very strict to the prince. In this way, Li Chengqian knows that he can't touch it, and his position as a prince is more sensitive, so it's better to avoid suspicion.
"Thank you, brother!" Changle was moved.
For this sister, Li Chengqian really loves her. Otherwise, she would not risk offending Li Shimin to expose the harm of next of kin marriage for the happiness of Princess Changle.
Among the two princesses, Princess Jinyang is relatively young and ignorant. Naturally, Princess Changle is the main princess. Moreover, Li Shimin owes something to Changle because of her close relatives before. It will not hurt if this matter is exposed in the future.
This kind of thing can only be done first and then. If it is exposed in advance, it will not work. Li Zhi and Jinyang can't bear the secret when they are young. Changle also turned his eyes and thought of a way to support them away.
"It's very delicious and relieves the summer heat. If we give them to our father, emperor and mother, have a taste!"
"Good!" Li Zhi and Jinyang immediately responded.
If a child has anything good, he can't wait to offer treasure to his parents. Naturally, they are no exception.
Soon, the imperial chefs have prepared two ice creams. Li Zhi is responsible for giving them to empress Chang sun and Jinyang is responsible for giving them to Li Shimin. After the division of labor is completed, they happily lead the eunuch to leave.
After Li Zhi and Jinyang left, Merton continued to discuss various matters of ice cream. Of course, Li Chengqian would give his full support to his sister's first career. Merton put forward all kinds of ice products in future generations one by one. Their eyes became brighter and brighter and shouted that there was great potential for them.
