Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor
Chapter 9 Military rations
"Your Highness, the Sixth Prince, you have a distinguished status, and this little girl cannot bear it..."
After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Lingxi still decided to refuse.
"It's out of the way!"
"Ms. Xiao, you raise food and wages for the frontline soldiers, and you don't show mercy to women. I am a tall and dignified man, and as the prince of Dakang, it is nothing to cook for a heroine like you who cares about the country and the people!"
"Let's go get some bowls and chopsticks to heat the soup. Remember, the water must be hot, preferably freshly boiled!"
Ning Fan gave instructions to Butler Wang who was standing not far away.
After Xiao Lingxi agreed, the housekeeper immediately went down and ordered people to prepare.
After a long time, everything Ning Fan needed was ready.
"Sixth brother, all fools know that you need a pot to cook noodles. Don't you naively think that you can cook noodles with hot water?"
The fourth prince Ning Xiao couldn't help but sarcastic words when he saw Ning Fan being serious.
The prince clasped his hands behind his back, looking equally impatient.
He originally wanted to find Xiao Lingxi alone today to show his courtesy, but he didn't expect that two terrible things came to him.
Now seeing that Ning Fan's fancy things attracted Xiao Lingxi's attention, her expression became so gloomy that she almost shed tears.
"Your Highness the Sixth Prince, do you mean using such a simple tool for cooking?"
Xiao Lingxi's eyes were slightly disappointed.
After all, how can such a simple tool make delicious meals?
"Miss Xiao, I'm not just treating you to the noodles I ordered today. You will soon understand what they are!"
Ning Fan looked mysterious.
Xiao Lingxi looked even more confused. She didn't know why Ning Fan was cooking in front of her.
Soon, Xiao Lingxi's face showed an even more confused look: "Your Highness, the Sixth Prince, is your cooking related to the war on the front line?"
"Miss Xiao is not only 'like a dragon, as graceful as a mighty dragon' in life, but her wisdom is also outstanding!"
As the saying goes, flattery never wears off, but Xiao Lingxi has a noble status and a beautiful country. She has been immune to hearing praises since she was a child!
But Ning Fan's words were so refreshing that it was hard not to be moved.
Especially as graceful as a swimming dragon, like a startled dragon, these eight words made Xiao Lingxi's heart tremble with fright.
These eight words are the same as the poem Ning Fan wrote yesterday. They are both famous lines through the ages!
"His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince is too generous. Ling Xi cannot bear your praise."
Xiao Lingxi's face turned slightly red, and her eyes were filled with a bit of shyness.
Seeing Ning Fan and Xiao Lingxi fighting fiercely, the prince beside him had already turned black with anger.
Not far away, the fourth prince, who was suffering from the same disease, also clenched his fists, wishing he could break Ning Fan's nose with one punch.
The two of them contributed money and effort and only received a light thank you from Xiao Lingxi. On the other hand, this sixth child made no contribution at all. He only coaxed the beautiful lady into a circle with his sweet words!
Comparing one person to another is really infuriating!
"Ms. Xiao, look at it. This is the noodle, and this is the package. You just need to put the dough and the package into the bowl first, and then pour hot water on it. You only need to wait for a short while. A big bowl The fragrant noodles are ready!”
Ning Fan demonstrated and explained to Xiao Lingxi.
Xiao Lingxi listened carefully, but there was a puzzled expression on her face.
"Hmph, that's nonsense! If what you make is edible, I'll eat all the bark off the tree next to you!"
The fourth prince couldn't help but break the story and said.
"Lao Liu, please be serious. What we are discussing here is the food issue of the frontline soldiers. What are you doing all this for? You are already a grown man, why are you acting like a child?"
The prince's voice was dark and sarcastic.
"I told you, this is no joke! Whether it's true or not, we'll know later, right?"
Ning Fan didn't panic at all when faced with trouble.
"Miss Xiao, watch out, I'll do a trick for you!"
A few minutes later, Ning Fan opened the lid of the bowl as if he was offering a treasure.
call!
A rich and attractive aroma spread instantly.
Xiao Lingxi stood closest and was the first to smell the tangy fragrance, and immediately couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
Immediately I felt unsightly again, and my face immediately turned red.
Smelling the aroma and seeing the tempting noodle soup in the bowl, the prince frowned immediately.
This noodle is somewhat delicious, but with your status as a prince, what has he never eaten before? He was surprised that there were simple delicacies in the world that could be cooked by just boiling water!
"Lao Liu, what on earth is this... um, thing..."
The fourth prince didn't finish his sentence, his mouth became bald and drool dripped from the corner of his mouth.
Swish!
The Xiao family servant standing ten meters away was immediately attracted by the fragrant smell.
Everyone swallowed wildly, their faces full of curiosity.
Xiao Lingxi looked carefully and found that the previously palm-sized noodle had expanded and turned into a small bowl of noodles. The golden color looked very appetizing, and she was shocked.
"Ms. Xiao, I made this bowl of noodles for you. You eat it first."
Ning Fan handed over the chopsticks.
"Your Highness, the Sixth Prince, shouldn't he have become familiar with you in such a short time?"
Xiao Lingxi looked a little shy, but she still scooped some noodles and soup into her bowl with a spoon.
She picked up a small mouthful of noodles with her chopsticks and put it into her mouth, and immediately a look of disbelief appeared on her face.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Lingxi took another sip of soup, and the expression on her face changed from shock to disbelief...
"How about it, Miss Xiao, I didn't lie to you, did I?"
Ning Fan asked confidently.
"The taste is smooth and strong, and the taste is rich, no less than royal delicacies!"
"Your Highness, Sixth Prince, how did you do this? How did you make such a delicious thing using only such simple ingredients?"
Xiao Lingxi put down her bowls and chopsticks, her delicate face full of shock.
In fact, when it comes to food, modern times crush ancient times at 360 degrees without any blind spots. For example, in ancient times, a large amount of ingredients and condiments were used to make soup to enhance the freshness, but now just add a spoonful of MSG.
The royal cuisine was only rich in ingredients, and the techniques and ingredients were completely incomparable with modern times. Therefore, even instant noodles, which are mediocre in modern times, were amazing in ancient times.
"If this instant noodles is really so easy to cook and eat, easy to store and transport, and is quite delicious compared to the unpalatable military rations. Then, if the frontline soldiers each bring a few pieces, wouldn't it save the need to accompany the army? A civilian husband and a cook?"
Xiao Lingxi finally came back to her senses and finally understood what Ning Fan meant.
"As we all know, when the frontline army moves out, the number of civilians is three times that of the army! Not only does it require a lot of manpower and material resources to transport food, but these civilians themselves also consume military food!"
“But if we can solve the problems of storage and ease of consumption, we can greatly save manpower and material resources!”
Ning Fan smiled slightly, hiding his merit and fame.
"what?"
When Xiao Lingxi heard Ning Fan talking about all the benefits, she was so shocked that she almost dropped the bowls and chopsticks in her hands.
A pair of beautiful eyes stared at Ning Fan, as if they were attracted by a magnet and couldn't move away at all.
"impossible!"
The prince finally couldn't bear it any longer, walked over, picked up the bowl and chopsticks, and filled a bowl for himself.
After three or two mouthfuls, his expression was extremely shocked.
The look in Ning Fan's eyes also completely changed!
First he made a shocking poem, then he defeated his fourth brother, and now he made such a convenient and practical delicacy...
How much is this sixth brother hiding?
For the first time, the prince felt that his position was threatened.
There are two ways before him. The first way is to eradicate the roots. He must not let Lao Liu grow up and become his opponent!
The second way is to recruit! Let such a person become your right-hand man!
"I don't believe it, I want to try it too!"
The fourth prince, Ning Xiao, was stunned when he saw his eldest brother eating Lao Liu's noodles. He immediately couldn't help it anymore, wiped his saliva, and took away the remaining half of the bowl.
Hululu!
The fourth prince Ning Xiao simply raised his neck and poured the remaining instant noodles into his belly.
The rough face was suddenly filled with astonishment!
Such a simple cooking method can actually produce a good taste.
Does Ning Fan, a loser, still have such a brain?
"Fourth brother, do you still want to eat the bark?"
Ning Fan seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
