Eat without talking and sleep without talking.

It just describes the current scene.

Zhu Ningyun and Li Xiao lowered their heads and ate Yuanxiao in silence...

Xu Miaoyun looked at her filial son quietly.

"Gao Xu."

"Here you are, concubine."

"Help mother and concubine fill a bowl too."

Xu Miaoyun heard from her daughter that Li Xiao did have some cooking skills.

But the recipe of Yuanxiao is fixed, no matter how delicious it is, how delicious can it be?

Moreover... Zhu Gaoxu was not very interested in eating, but focused on martial arts and fighting.

In this way, Zhu Gaoxu's reaction was too abnormal. Is it really so delicious?

"Okay, concubine."

Zhu Gaoxu didn't know why, so he filled another bowl and handed it to Princess Yan.

Xu Miaoyun took it, took a sip, and immediately her eyes lit up.

There is indeed a huge difference.

Li Xiao's bowl of glutinous rice balls is so soft and glutinous that it melts in your mouth. The fragrant scent of osmanthus and sesame blooms in your mouth, and finally it is sweet to the heart.

Xu Miaoyun likes sweets and often tastes cakes.

But such sweet Yuanxiao was beyond her scope of cognition.

How could this... be so sweet? This is because the raw materials have changed. What is mixed with it to produce such a sweet taste?

Xu Miaoyun couldn't think of it after thinking for a long time.

He raised his head and glanced at Li Xiao, thinking that this kid was really a strange person.

"Concubine, you are good at your craftsmanship. From now on, Concubine, I will give my children more of the Yuanxiao you make."

Zhu Gaoxu still thought this was the Lantern Festival made by Princess Yan.

Xu Miaoyun was not angry and said with a smile: "This is not done by my mother and concubine, this is done by Li Xiao."

"ah?"

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment, then looked at the other one: "Then this one is..."

"This one was made by my mother-in-law herself."

Xu Miaoyun looked at Zhu Gaoxu with interest.

"Ah this..."

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned. Didn't he just mean to blame his mother and concubine in person?

He rolled his eyes and hurriedly changed his words: "Actually...this one is a bit too sweet and a bit greasy. After careful reflection, the concubine's one is more delicious."

As he said that, he calmly took back the bowl of glutinous rice balls that had been left on the shelf just now...

Lower your head and eat glutinous rice balls....

"Okay, stop pretending."

Xu Miaoyun also didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Li Xiao's dish is indeed more delicious than the one made by my mother and concubine."

After speaking, he looked at Li Xiao: "Li Xiao, where did you learn these cooking skills?"

This time, Xu Miaoyun really believed in Li Xiao's superb cooking skills.

"The princess is overly praised."

Li Xiao hurriedly said modestly: "I figured these out myself."

Xu Miaoyun asked: "Can you tell me where the high level of sweetness in this comes from?"

Li Xiao was slightly startled.

Good guy, I've hit a snag. This question is really hard to answer.

The taste of such a sweet thing comes from white sugar, which is a product of industrialization.

Although white sugar will be very popular in China in the future.

But to be honest, there are still many backward countries in the world that cannot produce white sugar at all.

It is impossible for me to produce sugar in the Ming Dynasty...

Eh, no...it's possible to do it yourself, after all, there is a system!

Since the mother-in-law asked... I can only answer truthfully...

Thinking of this, Li Xiao cupped his hands and said, "Back to Princess, there is sugar in these glutinous rice balls, so they are very sweet."

Xu Miaoyun said: "White sugar powder? But white sugar powder is not so sweet."

"Not powdered sugar."

Li Xiao explained: "It's white sugar. White sugar powder is boiled from brown sugar, and white sugar is another kind of sugar."

Princess Yan became more and more interested: "Where did you get this sugar?"

Li Xiao said: "Back to Princess... This was researched by Li Xiao privately. It is mainly extracted from sugar cane and beet..."

Hearing this, Xu Miaoyun asked in disbelief: "Did you research it yourself?"

"That's not the case."

Zhu Gaoxu laughed and said: "Brother-in-law is really powerful. Not to mention candy, he can also propose..."

He suddenly realized that the 'salt' matter had to be kept secret and quickly shut up.

He changed his mind and said, "Brother-in-law has a wide range of interests and is involved in many things."

Brother-in-law?

Zhu Gaoxu came as soon as he opened his mouth and forgot to change his title.

It made Xu Miaoyun frown slightly, and Zhu Ningyun on the side was even more embarrassed.

With so many people present...Zhu Ningyun couldn't find a crack in the ground to get in.

Gao Xu, Gao Xu, you recognized me too quickly, you haven’t even gotten married yet!

Xu Miaoyun did not pursue the matter, but looked at Li Xiao, even more surprised: "Li Xiao, you have surprised me again, you are like Lu Ban."

"Ashamed, ashamed, just thinking about it."

Li Xiao was also slightly embarrassed.

"Can this white sugar be mass-produced?"

Xu Miaoyun asked in surprise.

If it can be mass-produced, it will be a big business.

Despite Prince Yan's wealth, the annual expenditures are not small. Face-care and daily expenses are all in vain.

She controls the accounts of Prince Yan's Mansion, so naturally she focuses on this aspect.

Zhu Di's future difficulties will depend on the wealth accumulated by Xu Miaoyun over the years.

The system hasn't flashed such a thing yet, so Li Xiao didn't dare to agree.

He hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I'm ashamed. The current research can only be made in small quantities and cannot be mass produced... If there are any results, I will tell the princess as soon as possible."

"Okay, that's great!"

Xu Miaoyun nodded happily, she really got a surprise today.

What the master said is indeed true. Li Xiao is indeed someone who can bring good luck to Prince Yan's palace.

If a method is found to produce large amounts of sugar, Prince Yan's Mansion will be able to make a lot of profits by operating the sugar.

"Cough...cough cough..."

Xu Miaoyun suddenly coughed.

Maybe it was because she was too happy and stretched her trachea, causing her to cough.

"Mother concubine..."

Zhu Ningyun hurried over and patted her mother's back gently to make her feel better.

It took a long time for Xu Miaoyun to stop coughing.

She looked at Li Xiao and sighed: "It's an old problem, it's ridiculous."

It seems that...the opportunity has come to express my gratitude to my mother-in-law...Li Xiao asked with concern: "Princess, I wonder when... your cough started? Can you tell me in detail?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu's eyes widened.

Could it be that my brother-in-law... can still see a doctor?

Outrageous!

If so, my brother-in-law is so versatile and can do everything!

Are there such versatile people in the world?

Zhu Ningyun was worried. While caressing her mother's back, she replied on her mother's behalf:

"Mr. Xiao, my concubine has been having this problem since she came to Peiping from Jinling. Every day when it gets cold, she keeps coughing... I've seen many doctors, but nothing has improved..."

Hearing this, Li Xiao's thoughts began to flow.

Historically, Empress Xu died of illness, and there is no record of the specific illness.

But from now on, it seems that it is because of the change of living environment that the cold air entered the lungs, causing pneumonia and inflammation in the lungs.

Of course, Li Xiao was not sure whether it was pneumonia, as he was not a doctor.

But I have amoxicillin here, and maybe it can be cured after taking it.

Even if it's not pneumonia, there's no harm if it can't be cured...

Simply treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor...

"Princess, you may have some inflammation in your body."

As he spoke, Li Xiao took out a medicine bottle from his body: "This is medicine to treat inflammation. It may make your condition better."

The words fell.

The whole table was astonished.

This Li Xiao... also knows medical skills!
