After the father of the subjugated country secretly read my heart, he became angry.

Duke Dingguo didn't go home that day.

I waited in the imperial kitchen until dark before the thirteen imperial chefs tried their best to make the rice and noodle dishes that the emperor said could be "boiled and eaten hot"...

What dry barley cakes, dry food...

Duke Dingguo tried them one by one, and all of them looked strange.

Not very tasty.

But if you don’t pay attention to it when marching and fighting, it’s okay.

Some of them are just like the dry food they pour themselves. There's nothing special about it, it just tastes better... that's okay.

Ding Guogong tried the 'heat and eat' thing for a whole day. From the beginning, he was very excited, then became expressionless and gradually disappointed.

"Your Majesty, let the imperial kitchen do the work. I will go home first."

Duke Dingguo was tired.

He really believed in the emperor's evil intentions and believed that his ideas would work!

After a whole day of tossing, nothing came of it.

Duke Dingguo decided not to have too many hopes, lest he be too disappointed. He is old and cannot withstand the ups and downs of his emotions.

"Well... Duke Dingguo marched before and wanted to have oil and water in his belly. Take a look at the imperial chef. Where is the oil?"

Xiao Yunzhou is still 'enlightening' the cooks in the imperial dining room.

Duke Dingguo was a little moved. The emperor was still a good person and remembered his words.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late now, so you should rest early." Duke Dingguo was in no hurry.

Xiao Yunzhou is anxious.

How come the people in the imperial kitchen couldn't even think of instant noodles no matter what he said!

The pancakes can be fried and then boiled in boiling water.

Then add salt and powder seasoning packets, lumpy oil packets, dried vegetables and dried meat!

Hey.

Only then did Xiao Yunzhou understand his daughter's previous praise of Liu Runnian.

It’s true that not just anyone can figure it out with just a few clicks.

It really made him anxious.

Liu Concubine stood nearby, looking anxious as the emperor refused to give up until something happened.

Little Gege was tired and was already yawning in Wei Zheng's arms.

She took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, I have an idea. I used to make bacon with my mother at home."

"Bacon can be preserved for a long time after being marinated, baked, and dried. Next year, you can just heat it on rice or put it into pasta. It has both flavor and oil. A small slice can be enough. It’s delicious and a meal.”

Why! This is it!

Xiao Yunzhou's eyes brightened and he looked at Liu Bin.

She is indeed a smart concubine in the whole family!

"Yes, yes, did you hear that? Can you think of anything from how to make bacon?"

"The bacon can be dried and then heated directly for use next year. What about the others... vegetables, hot soup, rice and noodles!"

The manager of the imperial kitchen hissed. He had thought of bacon before, but the emperor wanted to use it for the border march.

One hundred thousand soldiers, each with bacon, how much does that cost?

So the manager of the imperial kitchen simply threw the bacon aside.

But now, Xiao Yunzhou's words directly opened the mind of the manager of the imperial kitchen.

The method of making bacon...extends it to soups, vegetables, noodles and rice?

This opened up a new way of thinking for the manager of the imperial kitchen who cooks exquisite noodles all day long.

"Slave, let's try it now!"

Suddenly the imperial dining room became busy!

With ideas, even the chef in the imperial dining room is not built.

With eighteen martial arts skills, he immediately produced lumps of chicken soup, mutton soup... as well as steamed fried dough pancakes and cake crusts...

It was the coldest month of winter in Beijing, and the chicken fat and lard were frozen hard within a short time of being left outside.

Not long after, the dining room brought out instant mutton soup condensed packets, instant chicken soup ‘instant noodles’, ‘instant rice balls’…

In Wei Zheng's arms, Xiao Chuchu's sleepy eyes were straightened, especially when he saw a dinner plate held by the butler of the kitchen - which contained three stacks of soup buns, bacon pellet buns, and bread buns.

"Your Majesty, except for the dried vegetables, I can't make it today, so I can try everything else."

[Damn, the ancient version of instant noodles...ah, I can't eat the roast duck, but I can drink the soup of instant noodles~]

Xiao Chuchu was happy.

[Every time I smell the smell of instant noodles, I go crazy with cravings. If I don’t eat them for a while, I’ll panic~]

[I don’t know what will happen to the ancient imperial chef’s version of instant noodles. 】

Xiao Chuchu woke up completely with a greedy mouth.

Also sober and feeling no pain in his legs or waist is Ding Guogong!

He watched with his own eyes as the imperial chef added a small seasoning packet and oil packet to the dry flour cake, and then poured it into the boiling water. In a short time, a strong fragrance spread in the imperial garden and rushed into his nose.

Duke Dingguo stared and rushed to the imperial kitchen in an instant.

"Is this hot and ready to eat? How long will it take to eat!?"

"Just boil the water and wash it down?"

Before he heard the imperial chef's answer, he saw the solid soup cubes in the golden bowl gradually melting in the boiling water.

The dry dough inside slowly becomes soft and becomes loose, with distinct roots...

In less than half a cup of tea, it turned into a steaming bowl of chicken noodle soup with bacon bits!

Duke Dingguo took a deep breath, and without Xiao Yunzhou's invitation, he couldn't wait to pick up his chopsticks and took a big mouthful.

With a hiss, Duke Ding's mouth was burned to death.

But soon, the saltiness and mellowness of the chicken soup, and the rich aroma of the bacon bits mixed with the golden hot oil, hit his tongue unreasonably.

It was so delicious that Duke Ding was reluctant to spit it out. He took a deep breath and sucked the hot noodles into his mouth.

In an instant, his eyes straightened.

This noodle... is actually quite strong. It bounces between your teeth when you bite it, and it's extremely smooth.

Mixed with the deliciousness of chicken soup and bacon, it's one bite after another, and you can't stop at all.

This strong fragrance, after standing in the Royal Garden for a whole day, seems more delicious and appropriate, dispelling the cold winter air and fatigue.

"Hiss...the weight of these pancakes and salt packets is not heavy. It is indeed feasible to transport them to the military camp!" Dingguo Gong finished the whole bowl and became even more excited thinking about this.

"I don't need to have chicken soup, but a little salt and these little bacon bits can add some flavor to our big-headed soldier's mouth!"

Duke Dingguo also knew that chicken soup was expensive and could not be made available to everyone.

But the bacon bits in this noodle are cut very small and thin.

When he ate it, he didn't even feel the gap between his teeth. The bacon seemed to be gone, leaving only a salty and meaty taste on the tip of his tongue.

It's not enjoyable, but it's enough for marching and fighting, so don't be picky!

"Your Majesty, I agree that Concubine Liu will be a female official."

Duke Dingguo really felt bad for Liu Bin this time.

Why do people think of bacon?

Make the bacon smaller than the stones on the roadside... It's good, I have an idea and it's feasible!

"Your Majesty, winter clothes are winter clothes in the morning. Now the noodles that are ready to be heated and eaten are another matter."

Duke Dingguo looked at the emperor and said, "When will you promote Concubine Liu? She has already given the army two ideas!"

"..."

The corners of Xiao Yunzhou's eyebrows twitched.

People in the military are so defensive and unreasonable.

The accumulation of military exploits is not just empty talk!

Liu Bin was embarrassed, "I didn't do anything, how can I get the credit?"

This time she just kept her mouth shut and really didn't do anything.

Duke Dingguo waved his hand and said with great pride, "I will make a statement tomorrow. The matter of the female official must be implemented as soon as possible, and a clear path must be established."

"Calculate how many grades, how much salary, and how to get promoted in the future..."

"Your Majesty, do you think so?"

Xiao Yunzhou coughed lightly.

"Oh, of course, Emperor, your contribution this time is not small," Duke Dingguo finally looked at Xiao Yunzhou with admiration.

"I am really pleased, I am grateful to the Emperor on behalf of thousands of soldiers."

Xiao Yunzhou finally had a smile on his face, "How about when the weather clears up in the next few days, Duke Ding and I will go to the barracks on the outskirts of Beijing to express condolences to the sergeants and give them new winter clothes and this warm and ready-to-eat food?"

Duke Dingguo smiled brightly and nodded repeatedly, "If the emperor is interested, I will definitely go."

Even though he knew that the emperor most likely wanted to draw him here to gain military morale through his reputation in the army, Duke Ding was willing to do so this time.

But not long after, Xiao Yunzhou's eyebrows were startled.

Xiao Chuchu unreasonably poked her little finger into the golden bowl in Wei Zheng's hand, then put it into her mouth and licked the taste of the instant noodle soup base.

[Ouch~ It’s this familiar smell. Although it’s not the same, but... I’m alive again, hahahaha. 】

Xiao Chuchu's face was full of joy and she threw herself at Duke Dingguo with all her strength.

Ding Guozheng wants to eat the second bowl of instant noodles.

She wants to eat some instant noodles~

She has no teeth, so she can chew~

But just when her little hands grabbed the hem of Duke Dingguo's clothes, making him dumbfounded, she suddenly paused with big eyes.

[Well, I saw Duke Dingguo’s force! 】

【73 (Intensifying recession)! 】

【Heyday 95! 】

[Emma, ​​she has an old injury on her right knee, old lung disease, and chronic stomach disease. 】

[Ouch, Mr. Dingguo ate too much greasy food today and suffered from the cold in the school yard for a day. He is about to suffer from stomach and knee problems! The force value is about to drop below 60, which is irreversible! 】

Xiao Yunzhou stared.

Liu Bin's breath was stagnant.
