Signing in Datang: Li Shimin was shocked by the start

Chapter 34 Of course soft rice is the most delicious
Changsun Wuji and the others were stunned when they heard the words. What kind of problem is this? It's simply too ridiculous.

They thought this question was a bit strange, but Suning's answer was even stranger.

The Tubo envoy squeezed out a smile and said, "Although it's a bit far-fetched, it's still reasonable, and your answer is correct."

"Is that the correct answer?"

"No, what's the problem with this!"

When everyone heard that Suning's answer was correct, they all went crazy.

It feels like these questions are not normal.

Su Ning said: "Stop talking nonsense, let's talk about the third question directly, I can't wait."

"Okay, the third question, if you answer it correctly, the old man will stop pestering you."

The Tubo envoy said: "The third question is very simple. What kind of food is the most delicious for men?"

What kind of weird question is it that civil and military officials peek at each other.

Li Shimin was also in a daze. He felt that the question raised by the Tubo envoy was somewhat confusing. What kind of rice is the most delicious? Of course, delicious rice is the most delicious.

But what gave him a headache was that he couldn't answer such a low-level question.

"Why, this majestic Tang can't answer?"

The Tubo envoy glanced at the crowd and asked with a smile.

Su Ning rubbed his forehead, showing helplessness.

Seeing this, the Tubo envoy said with a smile, "Why, can't the great poets of the Tang Dynasty also answer?"

Su Ning said: "It's not that I can't answer it, but I feel that the three questions you asked are too naive, even a doll in crotch pants can know it!"

"childish?"

The Tubo envoy raised his eyebrows.

Su Ning said: "The old saying is good, young people don't know the fragrance of soft rice, so they mistakenly plant their youth. If you ask me what is the most fragrant, of course it is the most fragrant soft rice!"

puff!
puff!
Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui burst out laughing when they heard the words, each of them burst into laughter.

"What kind of problem is that?"

"That's right, it's too substandard!"

But apart from military generals, all of them are civil servants with outstanding talents.

And these questions raised by the Tubo envoys are not very linked to talent and learning, are they just brain teasers!
It is precisely because of this that it stumps all civil servants.

"Hmph, amazing, really amazing."

The Tubo envoy couldn't help but give Suning a thumbs up to express his admiration.

The King of Tubo originally thought that the civil and military ministers of the Tang Dynasty were all very talented.

That's why I found this seemingly simple question to test these people.

And if Suning does not show up today, it can be said that no one can answer these three questions.

"Since I have already answered your three questions, then you Tibetans..."

The Tubo envoy said: "Although our Tubo country is full of talents, we are naturally defeated, but we are still defeated by the Tang Dynasty! This time we are convinced to lose!"

Li Shimin smiled and said: "A gentleman's words are hard to follow. Since you are willing to admit defeat, you must keep your promise!"

"Okay, if that's the case, then I'll take my leave."

When the Tubo envoy left angrily, the entire court of the Tang Dynasty was completely boiled.

"Suning, you are really good at defeating the Tibetan envoys who came to challenge you. You are really awesome. If you want any reward, you can tell me!"

Your Majesty, I really need to ask the Emperor for something.

"What's the matter? Tell me slowly! I'll listen to you!"

During the trip to Longxi, although the emperor had sent ministers to go there, there were still many victims, and the ministers had a way to alleviate their hunger.

"Can you tell me?"

"I have some super rice seeds here. I have sent people to plant them. Your Majesty, these are not ordinary seeds. These are super rice seeds!"

"Is this amazing?"

"Your Majesty, please wait patiently. When the rice harvest is bumper, I will definitely show your Majesty the power of editing rice!"

"Where?"

Su Ning shook his head: "Your Majesty, don't ask too many questions. I have already ordered people to plant them. If there is a bumper harvest, it will surely alleviate the danger of the refugees in Longxi!"

"Weichen will leave first!"

"Suning, Suning...you..."

Hai didn't wait for Li Shimin to finish speaking, and Suning retreated.

Suning went to the field to check the rice planting status as soon as possible.

When he came to the field, he found that the planted rice had grown seedlings.

"It looks like it can be planted after a while."

Sweet potatoes, corn and potatoes, under the arrangement of Suning, have been planted by ordinary people.

Now he let the local people grow rice.

Suning believes that it will not be long before Datang will no longer worry about food.

Seeing that there was no problem with the rice planting, Suning returned to the mansion.

When he came outside the mansion, he saw a beautiful woman with a charming figure, charming figure and light clothes, walking back and forth outside the mansion.

I saw that she was holding a wooden box containing meals in her hand, and she seemed to be waiting for someone, and it looked pretty good!

Su Ning took a closer look, only to find that it was Fang Tingting.

"Miss Fang, why are you here?"

"Su Ning, you're back."

Seeing Suning, Fang Tingting showed joy.

Su Ning said: "I just came back from Chang'an, by the way, you haven't told me yet, what are you doing here?"

Fang Tingting smiled and said: "Did you forget that I told you last time that we have time to learn cooking together?"

While speaking, she handed the wooden box in her hand to Suning, and said with a smile, "Come on, how about some of the dishes I made?"

"Okay, let's go in first."

At that moment, Su Ning took Fang Tingting and walked towards the mansion.

"By the way, you come to my place, does your father know?"

Fang Tingting said: "Of course I know, my father also said that he will come to see you in two days."

After the two came to the hall, Suning opened the lunch box.

I saw three dishes inside, fried beans, fried cucumbers and fried cabbage.

Because Datang didn't have an iron pot yet, the color of Fang Tingting's fried dishes was not very good.

"Those are my three best dishes."

Su Ning picked up the chopsticks, picked up a slice of cucumber and put it in his mouth.

According to Datang's current situation, Fang Tingting's cucumber dishes are already acceptable.

But here in Suning, this cucumber can only be said to be barely edible.

After all, a lot of spices are missing.

"How is it, is it hard to eat?"

Seeing Suning's dull expression, Fang Tingting asked.

Su Ning said: "It's not delicious, but it lacks some seasonings, the taste is much worse, and the salty taste seems to be a little lighter. As the saying goes, one salty three points!"

Fang Tingting smiled and said, "Isn't this the case with salt?"

In addition to eating sea salt at the seaside in Datang, places like Chang'an also eat mineral salt and well salt.

Due to the backward technology of these two kinds of salt, the refined salt is not very pure and has a bitter taste in it.

Suning said: "A good dish not only depends on the technique, but also depends on the seasoning used. Come with me to the kitchen."

In fact, Suning had exchanged the check-in points for a lot of good things, so he naturally got a lot of condiments, and Datang was absolutely unique at that time.

After bringing Fang Tingting to the kitchen, Suning found some cucumbers and said, "Now I'll make braised cucumbers for you to eat."

As he spoke, he began to operate under Fang Tingting's gaze.

Fang Tingting's face was still very calm at first.

But when she saw Suning using some strange iron tools and throwing various seasonings into the pot, her beautiful eyes widened.

It was the first time she had seen this strange way of cooking.

After a while, the braised cucumbers came out of the pot, and a strong fragrance came.

"smell good!"

Fang Tingting said in surprise.

Suning said: "The cucumbers you fried are considered very good in Datang, but they lack seasonings and some unique hype techniques, so the taste is much worse."

While speaking, Suning picked up a pair of chopsticks and handed them to her.

"Try it now, how about my fried cucumber?"

Fang Tingting couldn't hold it anymore.

Taking the chopsticks from Suning, he took a piece of cucumber and put it in his mouth.

The next moment, she widened her eyes.

"Smells so good, Su Ning, you are amazing."

"By the way, why is there no bitter taste, I think I can take another bite!"

Suning took out the salt he used and said, "Because the salt I use is different from the one you use."

Fang Tingting wiped a little out with her hand, observed it in front of her eyes, and asked in surprise, "Why is this salt so fine?"

Suning said: "In fact, Datang can also refine fine salt. Before, it was because I had fine salt, so I was too lazy to bother."

"If you need, I can refine some for you."

"Okay!"

Fang Tingting was naturally very happy.

Su Ning said: "Then go find some well salt and mine salt."

With Suning's help, Fang Tingting quickly obtained a bag of fine salt.

"The fine salt should be enough for you for a while, come to me when you don't have any."

"Ah."

After Fang Tingting returned to Chang'an with fine salt, she began to cook vegetables with the fine salt Suning gave her.

At this time, she found that the dishes fried with fine salt were particularly delicious.

"Wanting, what's going on today, why does Dad feel that your cooking has suddenly improved a lot."

While eating, Fang Tingting looked at Fang Tingting with doubts.

Fang Tingting smiled and said, "Father, have you even tasted it?"

Fang Tingting smiled and said, "Father eats your cooking every day, how could he not be able to eat it?"

Fang Tingting said: "A few days ago I went to find Suning, he refined some fine salt for me, and asked me to put some in when cooking, the taste will be better."

"Fine salt?"

Fang Tingting raised her eyebrows.

Fang Tingting said: "Wait a minute, I'll go to the kitchen and get some for you."

Soon, Fang Tingting brought a spoonful of fine salt from the kitchen and put it in front of Fang Tingting.

When Fang Tingting saw the fine salt, she wiped a little with her hands and put it in front of her eyes for observation.

The next moment, he stood up abruptly. "Father, what's the matter with you?"

Fang Tingting asked with a puzzled look on her face.

Fang Tingting said with a smile: "Su Ning is really able to hide his clumsiness. He can refine such fine salt, but he didn't tell me and His Majesty."

"Maybe he feels you don't need it!"

"No, very much."

Fang Tingting looked at the fine salt in her hand and said, "With such good fine salt, who would eat coarse salt?"

Coarse salt tastes bitter and astringent, who would want to eat it.

"God, I will go to him now and ask him to tell me how to refine fine salt. As long as he can tell me, I will kneel down and call him grandpa!"

If this matter is done, Fang Tingting feels that it is another great achievement.

"Father, wait for me, I'll go with you, why is such a small matter so motivating?"

"Small things? Tingting, you really don't know the profit behind the salt!"
