Chapter 398
Little Sizi ran to Su Chen, who picked her up and put her on the dining chair for Little Sizi.
A dozen people led by Li Shimin quickly surrounded the restaurant. Anyone who pretended to be polite at this time would be really stupid.
Li Chengqian, Li Tai and two kitchen staff behind them also brought several more portions of hot and sour noodles into the restaurant.
Another staff member followed behind with chili oil and a bottle of vinegar.
Su Chen put a large bowl of hot and sour noodles in front of Little Sizi, "Little Sizi, eat slowly, be careful of the soup splashing into your eyes."
He helped the little girl mix the hot and sour noodles to make the taste more even and to quickly dissipate some of the heat.
Su Chen knew that Little Sizi had no dietary restrictions and would eat anything.
"It smells so good! Thank you, brother-in-law!" Little Sizi showed two rows of neat teeth and clapped her hands to thank him.
When Su Chen was mixing the hot and sour noodles, she smelled the tempting aroma, not to mention that she didn't eat enough at noon.
"Well, eat quickly!"
Su Chen handed the chopsticks to Xiao Sizi. She never needed anyone to feed her, but sometimes she couldn't reach the food and someone helped her pick it up.
"Well? Your Majesty, sit down!"
After Su Chen "served" Xiao Sizi, he straightened his back and found that everyone was looking at him.
"Well, boy, give me a bowl." Li Shimin nodded and said.
"Your Majesty, do it yourself and you will have enough food and clothing." Su Chen didn't even look at Li Shimin.
"Mother, how about trying it quickly? If it's not sour enough, you can add some vinegar!" He picked up a bowl of hot and sour noodles and sent it to Empress Changsun beside him.
"Humph! This is unreasonable!" Li Shimin sat down angrily and took a bowl of hot and sour noodles from the tray.
After seeing Li Shimin sit down, the others quickly found a suitable seat to sit down.
"Slurp~"
"Slurp~!"
"Well, this is a delicacy! It suits my taste very well, chewy and springy!"
Li Shimin slurped two mouthfuls of hot and sour noodles, praising them while chewing.
"Lizhi, here!" Su Chen helped Princess Changle add a spoonful of chili oil and mixed it evenly, then put the hot and sour noodles on the turntable in front of her.
"Well."
Seeing this, Li Shimin said, "Boy, add some chili and vinegar for me."
"Okay!"
"Your Majesty, this is called chili oil fried with vegetable oil, it smells good!" Su Chen brought the chili oil and vinegar to Li Shimin.
"Well, not bad, not bad!"
Seeing that Li Shimin had already started eating, everyone took the hot and sour noodles and started eating quickly without caring about their image.
There was not enough space for so many people on one table, so Su Chen and Li Chengqian and his brothers had to hold their bowls and sit on the extra chairs beside them.
"Slurp~!"
"Slurp~!"
The restaurant occasionally made a slurping sound, which made Su Chen feel very strange.
Have they never eaten noodles before? They should be able to control themselves from making any sound!
"Brother-in-law, this hot and sour noodle is tasty!" Li Chengqian praised generously.
"This one is still a little bit off, the hot and sour noodle with mixed sauce and pig intestines is more tasty!" Su Chen replied to Li Chengqian while slurping the noodles.
Li Chengqian nodded and continued to eat noodles.
He knew that the manor had no pork for sale a few days ago, and a notice was published in the newspaper.
Li Shimin remembered what Su Chen said, the hot and sour noodle with mixed sauce and pig intestines, and he must let Su Chen make it for him to try in the future.
Su Chen doesn't like pasta, but all kinds of noodles are exceptions.
A few days ago, I wanted to study how to make rice noodles in the Tang Dynasty where conditions are not complete.
If sweet potato noodles want to achieve mass production, we need to wait for a few seasons of white sweet potatoes to be planted.
"Gulp~"
"Gulp~"
"Burp~"
Li Shimin took a few gulps of the noodle soup and burped for a long time, and a large bowl of hot and sour noodles went down smoothly.
"How refreshing!"
Li Shimin wiped his mouth, as if he was still a little reluctant. He glanced at Su Chen and saw that the latter had not finished eating yet, so he temporarily suppressed what he wanted to say.
Almost five minutes later, everyone finished eating the hot and sour noodles and put down their bowls and chopsticks.
Only Xiao Sizi was still trying to finish the hot and sour noodles in the bowl. It's no wonder she eats slowly.
Because she sucked them into her mouth one by one and chewed them slowly.
"Mingda, don't eat too much!" Empress Changsun looked at Xiao Sizi and reminded her with a smile.
Xiao Sizi pursed his lips and answered seriously:
"No, Sizi didn't eat enough at noon!"
After that, he continued to 'suck up' the few remaining noodles, carefully picked up the bowl and drank a few sips of soup.
"I'm full!"
Little Sizi put down the bowl and moved to get down from the child's chair.
Princess Changle took her down and said, "Go find a pack of tissues."
"Yes!"
Little Sizi quickly went to the living room to get a pack of tissues, took out two and gave them to Su Chen, and then put the tissues on the table.
She didn't care about the others and came to Su Chen.
"Brother-in-law, the hot and sour noodles are delicious!"
The little girl was only afraid of heat, not spicy or sour, so the hot and sour noodles suited her taste very well."Xiao Si likes it. I'll make hot and sour noodles for you next time!" Su Chen smiled slightly and planned to continue to make some starch with sweet potatoes in a few days.
At present, there are about 800 kilograms of sweet potatoes in the manor warehouse, and most of the others have been sent to school.
I don't want to use the 5,000 kilograms of sweet potato seeds. It's a waste.
"Boy, do you have any leftover hot and sour noodles?"
Li Shimin wanted to take some back to the palace. He would never miss such a good thing.
"Your Majesty, this sweet potato powder needs to extract starch from sweet potatoes. One hundred kilograms of sweet potatoes can only extract six kilograms of starch."
"Five kilograms of starch can make eight kilograms of sweet potato powder, so there is no hot and sour noodles now."
Su Chen explained to Li Shimin.
"Oh? Sweet potatoes consume so much, it is indeed not advisable to eat too much hot and sour noodles."
Li Shimin said after thinking for a moment. He has always regarded sweet potatoes as the staple food that saves the people.
He will not give up the essence for the deliciousness of hot and sour noodles.
"Your Majesty, I was just talking about sweet potatoes. But there is another kind of potato with a very high starch content, which is most suitable for making sweet potato powder. I call it white potato."
Su Chen was a little surprised to see Li Shimin so wise, he was indeed a wise ruler.
"My dear son-in-law, are there any seeds of sweet potatoes in the world?" Li Shimin came to Su Chen excitedly.
Seeing her father's excitement, Xiao Sizi immediately ran to the side to play.
"Yes, I just got 5,000 kilograms of sweet potato seeds some time ago." Su Chen said generously, there is nothing to hide now.
"Hahaha... Good! My dear son-in-law, it is my fortune to have you in the Tang Dynasty, and it is a blessing for the people of the Tang Dynasty!"
"Before, Xuanling was worried that the sweet potato production was too high, which would lead to overcapacity.
I never thought that sweet potatoes could be made into such delicious sweet potato powder. In this way, it can not only consume sweet potatoes reasonably, but also increase the income of the people, which is really killing two birds with one stone."
Li Shimin laughed passionately.
Empress Changsun and several other imperial concubines, as well as Princess Changle, were no longer surprised that Li Shimin called Su Chen his son-in-law.
When he was happy, Su Chen was his good son-in-law, but usually he was just that jerk.
Su Chen suddenly found that the emperor was standing in front of him, and it seemed a bit uncomfortable for him to sit alone.
He slowly stood up and gestured to Li Shimin to go to the living room to chat.
