Cheng Chumo was right. Not only the Cheng family received preserved eggs from Li Zexuan, but also the Qin family, Niu family, Yuchi family, Li Jing family, Li Xiaogong family, Fang Xuanling family, Changsun Wuji family, Wei Zheng family, etc. The important officials of the imperial court who had some dealings with Li Zexuan received hundreds of preserved eggs today, as well as a recipe for making preserved eggs.
Some of these people were sent by Li Zexuan himself, and some were sent by his guards. It was pity for Pang Feiji and his team of Wuhou. They were originally public officials who maintained the security of Chang'an City, but now they have become Li Zexuan's helpers. Delivery food.
Although he has given away so many preserved egg recipes, Li Zexuan is not worried at all that others will learn how to make preserved eggs, which will lead to the loss of customers in Zuixianlou, because the most authentic and authentic method will always be in the hands of Zuixianlou.
This is just like crayfish and hairy crabs in previous lives. You can find out how to make them just by searching online, but why are so many people willing to eat them in restaurants? Dishes don’t mean you can cook them deliciously just because you know how to cook them.
Therefore, he is not only not afraid of others learning from it, but encourages others to learn it. Only when everyone can make it and taste the deliciousness of preserved eggs, can his mission of promoting preserved eggs be completely completed!
At the same time, the palace, the great His Majesty Li Er, also received preserved eggs from Li Zexuan. Of course, it was definitely not collected by Li Er personally, but forwarded through Li Chengqian.
"Well, this preserved egg tofu is a good dish. It tastes cool and tender at the same time. I'll tell the royal chef in the dining room to keep this dish every day for noon for a month!"
Li Er, who was overwhelmed by the worries he had had in the morning, ate the cold and refreshing preserved egg tofu at noon, and immediately felt refreshed. He praised, then turned to give instructions to the palace maid next to him.
"Yes, Your Majesty~!"
The little palace maid bowed in response and slowly retreated.
Queen Changsun on the side covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Your Majesty's appetite has not been very good since the beginning of autumn. I didn't expect that this preserved egg tofu would suit your Majesty's wishes. It seems that I should be grateful to Marquis Yong'an!"
Li Er laughed and said: "Guanyin Maid, this is not the credit of that boy, but your craftsmanship! I heard that you went to the dining room to prepare it an hour ago. Thank you for your hard work!"
Empress Changsun shook her head and said happily: "As long as your majesty can eat well, everything I do will be worthwhile! The country and country of the Tang Dynasty cannot be separated from your majesty!"
Li Er put down his chopsticks and patted Changsun's green little hand. They had been together for more than ten years, how could they not know each other's thoughts? After a moment of silence, Li Er said:
"Actually, my poor appetite a while ago was not because the food didn't suit my taste. This year's severe drought caused a reduction in the output of the people's fields. In order to reduce the burden on the people, I forcibly reduced the burden. Later, the tax collection situation submitted by the state governments was compiled by the Ministry of Civil Affairs. , I found that it was not as good as 70% last year. In addition, last year because of the Turkic troops coming to the city, Chang'an's treasury was completely empty. I am worried that if there is another natural disaster in the Tang Dynasty, the treasury will be unsustainable!
Haha, but fortunately, the fleet led by Xiao Gong came back at this time, not only bringing back a huge amount of food, but also a huge amount of wealth. The financial tension of the imperial court was greatly relieved, and it was only The commercial tax collected from private caravans this time amounted to 400,000 yuan! Maid Guanyin, you haven't seen that old man Xiao Yu laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth for a quarter of an hour after seeing the statistical results! How can I not be happy! "
At the end of the story, Li Er's mood became high, and a long-lost, relaxed smile appeared on his face. Queen Changsun looked at the man in front of her with a somewhat complicated mood. She sighed and said:
"Your Majesty is devoted to the country and the people, and is happy and sad for the world. This is the blessing of the people of the Tang Dynasty. However, I hope that your Majesty will take more care of your health! Your Majesty is not only your Majesty to the people of the world, but also my body and the inheritance. Your Majesty Qian, Qingque and Changle!”
Li Er understood what Empress Changsun meant. He smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Maid Guanyin, I understand!"
Empress Changsun smiled, took out her small hand from Li Er's big hand, then used a small spoon to dig out a spoonful of preserved egg tofu for Li Er, and said: "Your Majesty, eat it quickly! This preserved egg tofu will be stale after a while!" "
Li Er was naturally enjoying the service of the beauty with peace of mind, and then Queen Changsun continued: "I heard that this preserved egg was a new trick invented by the Marquis of Yong'an to help his farmers solve the backlog of eggs! This child There are so many ideas, and I don’t know how many things he has in his mind! But in this way, his farmer can make a lot of money, while other farmers are still worried about how to sell eggs!"
Li Er had never heard of this. He frowned and asked, "What? Are the eggs in Chang'an City worthless now?"
Empress Changsun had a hint of sadness in her eyes and replied:
"Your Majesty does not know that since the imperial court issued the decree to reduce the burden of chicken raising this year, basically every household in Chang'an City and Zhuangzi near Chang'an City has raised at least seventy or eighty chickens, not to mention other states and counties. Now, More than four months have passed, and the chickens raised by the common people have already begun to lay eggs. These eggs cannot be stored for a long time and will go bad in less than ten days. In order to sell the eggs as soon as possible, the farmers are trying their best to lower the prices. ! As a result, the price of eggs has been falling again and again, until now it is even difficult to sell!"
Li Er was silent for a while, and then said: "This is indeed a problem, but now that Li Zexuan has thought of this method of preserved eggs, it depends on whether he is willing to teach the secret of making preserved eggs. If he is not willing, he can only let him Expanding the production scale of preserved eggs will surely alleviate a lot of the current situation! When the weather gets cooler, the production of eggs will also decrease, and then the price of eggs will stabilize!"
What he said does make sense. Let Li Zexuan turn the eggs into preserved eggs. Firstly, it can expand the market, and secondly, it can extend the storage time. Autumn is already here. In late autumn, or after winter, due to the drop in temperature and light, chickens will The egg production rate will drop significantly until the egg production finally stops.
"Hey! But this guy is really nice to his banker!"
Finally, Li Er added another sentence.
By the way, this time, Li Er had no intention of making Li Zexuan's secret recipe for preserved eggs. The main reason was that this trip to sea trade suddenly "fatted" the court. Old Li is now a rich man, earning money from making preserved eggs. Li Er still looks down upon the small amount of money!
