Back to Datang Jianzuo City

Chapter 98 Size and Weight (Storm Five...continued)
A court meeting lasted a whole morning!Ding Yi, who was screaming from hunger, was called to Lizheng Hall by Li Er again!

Fang Du, Changsun Wuji and the other three are always so favored.At the moment, the three of them were chatting about the border affairs, and it was said that the Turks couldn't help it!

Ding Yi is about to faint from hunger, Li Er is not kind!
Staring like a hungry wolf, he looked around for food, but there was only snacks placed in front of Li Er in the Lizheng Hall.Ding Yi hesitated, not sure if Li Er would hit him if he went straight to get some snacks!
Chen Hong walked over with ghostly steps without making a sound.

"What happened, Marquis Shiping?"

This dead eunuch! "Eunuch Chen, are you hungry!!?"

Chen Hong didn't know how to answer, he wasn't hungry at first, but now he asked... hungry!Just being with Li Er on weekdays, there are rules for everything, and he never cared about it!

"Eunuch Chen, why don't you and I go to eat some food together, you can't let His Majesty deal with political affairs on an empty stomach!"

Chen Hong originally wanted to order someone to do it, but when Ding Yi said that, he wanted to laugh!This Shi Pinghou really doesn't understand the rules!
Turning around and looking at Li Er, Chen Hong's affirmative look made Chen Hong feel at ease.

"Master Hou! Let's go!"

Following Chen Hong to Shangshiyuan, the eunuch in charge of Shangshiyuan rushed up to say hello.Chen Hong was expressionless and not enthusiastic!

Turning around with another smile on his face, he asked Ding Yi, "Master Hou, I don't know what you want to do?"

Ding Yi didn't talk nonsense, he just directed the imperial chef to prepare the ingredients, and Ding Yi even saw the spinach!

Spinach was introduced to China from Nepal as a tribute when Li Shimin was in power!

Half an hour later, Ding Yi and Chen Hong returned to the Lizheng Hall with a few court ladies.Seeing the food being brought up, Li Er said: "Keming, auxiliary machine, Xuanling. Let's go, eat first. I haven't eaten for half a day, but now my chest is sticking to my back! Haha..."

The three of them also followed Li Er, haha, and did their own thing.Fang Xuanling said: "The Marquis of Shi Ping made these meals?" It is a rare thing for a Marquis to cook in person!

"No, no, the kid only knows how to do it, and he was blinded when he started!" How could he swallow the credit of others!

"Hmph! I don't do business all day long, and I am addicted to the way of cooking and businessmen!" Li Er snorted coldly and said dissatisfied.

Look for trouble, Li Er!It's really for you... "Your Majesty, this statement is wrong! The people regard food as the first priority, and food is the first priority! How can you do things if you are not full!"

Changsun Wuji and the others did not expect Ding Yi to directly refute Li Er, and looked at them in surprise.Li Er said: "So, I'm going to cook too?"

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about!" With your understanding...the few people in the palace held back their laughter, this kid really dares to say anything!

Li Er sternly said: "Then don't talk about eating enough to do things! You are a Marquis, you are capable, and you don't want to pass on your knowledge! But you run around and mess around, what a shame!"

scare!For a long time, you want me to be a teacher again and teach knowledge, probably because I have thought about that chemistry again!
"Your Majesty! You are the emperor, but you can't treat me so wrongly! When did I mess around?"

Li Er got angry when he heard it, and said in a deep voice: "Do you need me to say more? Hmm?"

"Your Majesty, please clarify!" Ding Yi was not convinced!Du Ruhui looked at the situation and was busy making a rescue.These two people are going to compete today!
"Your Majesty, Marquis Shiping is still young, so it's understandable to be playful! Ding Yi, Your Majesty has high hopes for you, but you should be more prudent in your actions in the future!"

Facts have proved that good people are not so easy to be!Li Er became angry when he heard Ding Yi's words, what happened today?Are you going to confront me?

"Hmph! Poetry fair, auction, cake, buying fresh fruit, what did you say you did!" Li Er counted Ding Yi's crimes one by one, and let him realize what he had done!

Is this turning heads and denying people?What are you going to do! "Your Majesty, what I hold is the Poetry and Music Festival, for the purpose of spreading my Tang culture! It is also an outlet for those who idle around all day! So that they will no longer be domineering and bullying the people all day long! Auction It is the minister who prepared money for the construction of the city. The cake is a good thing, because the minister found something. The purpose of buying wild fruits is to make wine. Now the Tang Dynasty is short of food. If the fruit can be used to make wine, how much food can be saved! The minister does all this It's all for Datang!" Don't hesitate, even if you put various names on it, you must look righteous!
Several people listened to Ding Yi's nonsense, and they still felt that there was some truth!Finding something to do for those idlers is exactly what keeps those people from having the time to make trouble.And using fruit to make wine is a way, but I don't know if it can replace grain wine!

Ding Yi continued to make a fuss: "Besides, didn't the auction add 20 to the palace!" Okay!This said, Li Er's face felt a little feverish.Du Ruhui and the others were taken aback. This Ding Yi gave 20 yuan to the palace because of an auction!Is it 20 copper coins or 20 guan!But how can this kind of thing be said!
Li Er was a little embarrassed, and stopped Ding Yi from continuing, saying: "Let's not talk about that! Why do you still want to build a city? What did you find?"

Du Ruhui and the others also knew about Ding Yi's plan to build the city.I just didn't think that His Majesty didn't approve, this kid is still wicked!
Now that you have said it, don't hide it anymore: "Your Majesty, I have discovered a good thing that can ferment flour! Hmm... one catty of flour can make two catties of it!"

What?One catty of flour makes two catties!Can you talk more, Li Er shouted: "Arabian Nights, nonsense!"

"Your Majesty, what I'm talking about is not weight! It's size!" Can I say it's because it swells?

"Marquis Shi Ping, how can one catty of flour be made into two catties?" Fang Xuanling was a little curious about Ding Yi's words. What is the difference between the size and weight of one catty of flour?
"It's a bit difficult to explain. How about asking someone to bring that thing?" Ding Yi didn't want to say that he mixed the soda powder into the noodles and heated it to decompose into sodium carbonate, carbon dioxide and water. The carbon dioxide and water vapor overflowed. It can cause the food to be more fluffy, and sodium carbonate remains in the food.Then explain sodium carbonate and carbon dioxide to them!seeing is believing!

Li Er approved it, and asked people to go to Ding's mansion to get the thing that changed from one catty to two catties.Ding Yi deliberately told the little eunuch to ask Hua Niang for some alkaline noodles after he got the baking soda!Just steam the steamed buns and show it to Li Er!
After thinking about it, Li Ersi felt that there was something he didn't say please, so he said to Ding Yi who was about to eat: "Ding Yi, why do you still want to build a city!"

It doesn't matter about building the city now, the food is delivered to the mouth, how can we let them slip away!

"Your Majesty! I'm hungry! Why don't we finish eating!"
