"Your Majesty, this snack is wrapped in white sugar.
It was refined by my nephew through dozens of strict processes…"
Du He didn't know why, but when he saw this pretentious Second Emperor Li, he wanted to be mischievous.
However, he didn't expect that Second Emperor Li and the three little fellows beside him didn't look surprised at all.
Uh…they wouldn't believe it so easily, right?
Du He muttered to himself and gave a seat to Li Shi Min.
Seeing that Chang Le and the other two rascals were eating happily, Second Emperor Li, who had been curious for a long time, stopped pretending at this moment.
He raised his hand and pulled the plate in front of him, making the two boys angry but not daring to say anything.
"Eh, this thing is really sweet. Rascal, this is called white sugar, right?”
After all, Li Shiming was an adult. After tasting a few desserts, he focused on the white sugar.
Du He nodded." That's right, Your Majesty. That's the name."”
"Good stuff, crystal clear, even better than frosting. I want ten catties!”
"What?"
Du He was stunned.
Was there anyone who was so bold as to ask for something from others?
Li Shi Min's eyes widened,"Why? I gave you two high-grade paintings last time.
You're not even willing to give me ten catties of white sugar?”
"You were the one who lost the bet to me, okay? How shameless!"
Du He looked at the other party strangely and muttered softly.
"What are you mumbling about?"
Li Shi Min pretended to be angry.
" It's nothing, Your Majesty. I'm just saying that it's difficult to make this thing without that much white sugar…"
Du He began to reason with him.
After all, it was very difficult and complicated to boil the brown sugar and then filter it into crystals.
He thought to himself.
"Then how many more do you have?”
Li Shi Min waved his hand impatiently and asked.
Du He counted on her fingers and said,"Excluding the two catties promised to Chang Le, Gao Ming and Qing Que's four catties."
Also, the few high dukes who came today each had one catty. In the end, there would be one or two catties left!”
"One or two catties?"
Li Shi Min frowned, then looked at Li Chengqian and Li Tai, his eyes shining.
"In that case, you don't have to give Gao Ming and Green Sparrow's four catties. Give them all to me. A total of five catties!”
Err…
Li Chengqian and Li Tai, who had been unable to interrupt, looked at each other.
She felt so wronged that she almost cried.
As for Du He, she had a deeper understanding of Li Er's unscrupulous character.
"Fortunately, this Young Master didn't say that the white sugar was easy to make, nor did he say that he still had 40 catties in stock.
Otherwise, wouldn't this old fellow ask for a hundred catties?”
Du He muttered in his heart, but his expression did not change at all. He nodded his head in pain.
Li Shiming finally revealed a satisfied smile.
"I finally got something back from this brat. How can my two paintings be so easy to get?
Looking at this brat's pained appearance, I think what he said just now is true. I'm very comforted!”
Of course, if he knew that Du He had taken out five catties of 'difficult to make' white sugar.
If the cost was only six or seven catties of brown sugar, Second Emperor Li would probably not be as happy as he was now.
An old fox and a little fox, each with their own ulterior motives.
However, due to the lack of information, the old fox Li Er was temporarily at a disadvantage.
However, Li Er, who was kept in the dark, felt that he had taken advantage of him and did not stay here for long.
He slowly walked back to Du Ruhui and the others.
Because Old Du had said something else, everyone started to cook out of curiosity.
At this moment, the tables had already been brought in from the side courtyard one after another, and soon, a table was set up.
The exquisite style, the unique art of plate presentation, and the special fragrance of stir-fried vegetables.
It instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Originally, they were just a little curious after hearing Old Du talk about it.
However, after seeing the real stir-fried vegetables, he realized that Old Du was being too modest.
"It's not just delicious. Even I have never eaten such delicious food.”
Li Shi Min's chopsticks moved quickly. After a long while, he finally had the time to praise.
"Your Majesty is right. However, there is one thing wrong with this stir-fried dish.”
Cheng Yaojin looked at the empty plates on the table and complained unhappily.
Hearing his words, several big-bellied men around him nodded repeatedly.
In fact, it was not their fault. In the past, the food they ate was served in large pots.
However, if this stir-fried dish wanted to be delicious, it had to be a small pot dish.
In comparison, the portion of stir-fried vegetables naturally seemed a little small.
While everyone was still struggling, Zhangsun Wuji suddenly said,"
"Your Majesty, since you like this stir-fried dish, why don't you let Du He tell you how to make it?
In this way, the imperial kitchen would be able to make stir-fried dishes, and they would naturally be able to eat them often.”
Hearing this, Li Shi Min was tempted.
Du He, who was sitting not far away from the neighboring table, naturally heard Zhangsun Wuji's words.
In an instant, he felt that Zhangsun Wuji was up to no good, but he understood after thinking about it.
"You want to take advantage of me? No way!"
Du He gave a strange smile, stood up, and said to Li Shiming:
"Your Majesty, this cooking method is a method that I thought of after thinking hard.
If His Majesty and the uncles want it, I can offer it immediately.
However, if Duke Zhao wants to know how to cook so much, could it be that…you have a restaurant in your house?”
Zhangsun Wuji's expression changed.
Yes, his family had opened several restaurants in Chang 'an and they were quite famous.
Just now, he had noticed the business opportunity of this dish, so he said those words to Li Shiming.
He did not expect that his little thoughts would be seen through by Du He on the spot and said it in front of everyone.
"What a cunning old man. You're actually scheming against a little kid. Aren't you ashamed?”
The others only had a strange expression, but Cheng Yaojin directly shouted for justice.
Li Shiming also looked at his brother-in-law with displeasure.
Just as Zhangsun Wuji was about to be caught in a dilemma, Du He coughed lightly.
He narrowed his eyes and said with a smile,"Of course, it's not impossible for Duke Zhao to use this method…"
The others didn't think much of it.
Li Shi Min saw Du He's narrowed eyes and suddenly shivered.
He thought to himself, Looking at this rascal's sneaky face, he's definitely up to no good again!”
