Roasted Sweet Potato Is Not as Sweet as You
Soon, Zhou Ru returned to the pavilion.
Li Shiming and Li Jiage also saw the thing in Zhou Ru's hand.
They were two things that he had never seen before.
One was dark red, and the other was yellow.
Some of them were round and some were long.
"Husband, what is this?" Li Jiage couldn't help but ask.”
Li Shi Min was also curious.
Zhou Ru lit the charcoal, then picked up the red thing and placed it around the charcoal fire to roast it.
As he was cooking, he said," This is called a sweet potato. After you take the medicine, take a bite of it immediately. You won't feel bitter at all. Instead, it's very sweet."”
"Really?"
Li Jiage's gluttonous eyes were already sparkling with stars.
She looked at her husband and felt that he was the best and most powerful husband in the world.
My husband is so powerful.
She knew how to cook, how to treat illnesses, how to design, and how to deduce so many major events that even her father was shocked.
I'm so lucky. What good thing did I do in my previous life to be able to marry my husband in this life?
I like my husband so much.
The little wife looked at Zhou Ru with sparkling eyes, completely forgetting that her most respected father was still beside her.
As Zhou Ru peeled the potatoes, he listened to his wife's praise in her heart. He had never felt that life was so interesting.
Of course, it would be great if Li Shiming didn't talk to him.
What was a sweet potato? Why have I never heard of it?
However, this kid's cooking skills were not bad. If he said it was delicious, it would definitely be delicious. No, I can't think about it anymore. If I think about it again, I'll drool.
While listening to the father and daughter's heartfelt words, Zhou Ru put the peeled potatoes into the water to enjoy.
Then, he picked up the knife and cut the potato into pieces."This is called a potato. I accidentally bought both potatoes and sweet potatoes from a merchant from the Western Regions. I didn't buy much at that time, but later I cultivated some myself.”
"A merchant from the Western Regions?"
Li Shi Min suddenly realized that this was food from the Western Regions. No wonder he had never seen it before.
He did not doubt Zhou Ru's words. After all, Zhou Ru did not need to lie about this.
Zhou Ru heard Li Shiming's words and shook his head with a smile. It seemed that the appearance of potatoes and sweet potatoes was not a big problem.
After cutting the potatoes, he ordered someone to bring over the cut chicken.
Then, Zhou Ru put the iron pot down and poured the oil that he had just secretly taken out into it.
"What is this?"
"Didn't you just throw the chicken and potatoes into the pot?" Li Shiming asked curiously.”
In this era of the Great Tang, there was no such thing as cooking.
When they cooked, they would throw them directly into the pot and cook them randomly, so they were very curious about Zhou Ru's cooking method.
Zhou Ru was too lazy to say more,"This is the oil I squeezed out myself."”
When the oil heated up, he quickly threw in all kinds of spices.
The spices were mixed with the hot oil, and the fragrance immediately spread out.
Li Shiming and Li Jiage had never seen such dishes before, and they both looked over eagerly.
Zhou Ru saw that it was about time, so he threw the chicken in.
After stir-frying for a while, the fragrance of the chicken came out directly. Li Shimin couldn't help but gulp. Li Jiage also had a greedy look on his face.
"It smells so good."
Li Jiage sniffed.
Zhou Ru smiled and put the potatoes into the pot. He stir-fried them for a while, then added water and salt and covered them.
The fragrance was quickly blocked by the lid of the pot.
Li Shimin and Li Jiage finally retracted their gazes.
However, the two of them knew that this dish would definitely be especially delicious.
Just smelling it now was already so fragrant. How fragrant would it be when he ate it later!
At this moment, a sweet smell suddenly spread over.
Li Shimin quickly followed the smell.
He suddenly realized that the smell came from the sweet potato.
At this moment, the skin of the sweet potatoes had already been turned black. Some of the sweet potatoes had cracked on the outside, revealing the yellow sweet potatoes inside.
The sweet smell came from there.
Gulp!
Li Shi Min gulped.
"My good son-in-law, why is this sweet potato so fragrant just by roasting it?”
Good heavens, even the way he addressed her had changed.
Zhou Ru looked at Li Jiage's gluttonous expression and said with a smile,""Sweet potatoes are the best when steamed or roasted. There's no need to add any seasoning. They're natural and delicious.”
He pinched Li Jiage's little nose and said with a smile,""Little gluttonous cat, you can eat it in a while.”
Li Jiage blushed and smiled shyly.
Li Shiming also looked away, feeling embarrassed. He felt that his dignity as an elder was about to be lost.
At this moment, the medicine was finally ready.
Zhou Ru blew on the medicine and tested the temperature."Wifey, be good. After drinking, I'll let you be the first to eat sweet potatoes.”
Li Jiage looked at the bitter medicinal soup, then at the sweet sweet potato. Finally, he raised his head, as if he was going to die a righteous death,""Let's go all out!"
As he spoke, he took a big gulp. He stopped breathing and drank it all.
After drinking it, Li Jiage's beautiful brows furrowed bitterly. She opened her mouth and took a deep breath.
However, at this moment, a sweet and soft taste suddenly came from the tip of her tongue.
Li Jiage subconsciously took a bite and chewed. His eyes suddenly lit up.
Sweet and soft.
All the bitterness was instantly replaced by the sweetness of the sweet potato.
His wife's brows quickly relaxed.
"How is it? I didn't lie to you, did I?"
Zhou Ru said with a smile.
It was only then that Li Jiage realized that Zhou Ru was feeding him sweet potatoes.
Was this the sweet potato that her husband was talking about?
It was really sweet and delicious.
Li Jiage revealed a sweet smile." It's delicious. My husband didn't lie to me. My husband will eat it too."”
Zhou Ru also took a bite of the sweet potato. It was indeed delicious, but compared to the little wife in front of him, it was not as sweet as the little wife.
"Ding! The husband and wife shared a roasted sweet potato. This sweet love was rewarded with a Zhuge Repeating Crossbow blueprint!”
Li Shi Min watched his son-in-law and daughter eat the sweet potatoes, his mouth dry from swallowing.
"That…"
Just as he was about to speak, a eunuch came to report,""Your Majesty, Minister Gao of the Ministry of Revenue requests an audience.”
Li Shimin frowned. Gao Shilian had to come at this time of all times.
Wasn't this delaying him from freeloading?
However, Gao Shilian was Empress Zhangsun's elder and also her elder, so it was not good to not meet him.
Secondly, Gao Shilian had come in such a hurry probably because the investigation he had asked the Ministry of Revenue to do had come to a conclusion.
In other words, Zhou Ru's deduction might have a result now.
Therefore, he could only suppress his greed and say,"Let him in."
Not long after, the Minister of Revenue, Gao Shilian, entered the pavilion.
As soon as they entered the pavilion, they were attracted by the sweet potato smell before they could report to Li Shiming.
"What smells so good?"
