In the Mo Family's Food City, there was a hubbub of voices and an endless stream of people. It was simply like a temple fair. This was a feast for delicacies.
"Is this the solution you mentioned to solve the problem of farmers suffering from cheap meat?"
In the food city, Li Shimin was like an ordinary diner. He brought Li Zhi and Li Mingda to sit at the table for people to rest and enjoy the delicacies. He picked up a piece of fried chicken and tasted it.
He didn't really like the taste of fried chicken. Instead, he liked the fruit-scented roasted duck very much. He picked up a thin piece of water bun, picked up the sliced duck meat, added shredded scallion, dipped it in the prepared sweet sauce, and ate it in big bites.
"Old Master Li, do you know how many chickens and ducks have been used in the Mo Family's Food City since its opening four days?"
There were people everywhere. Meton didn't dare to address Li Shimin as the Emperor. Instead, he called him Old Master Li.
"Three thousand chickens and two thousand ducks. Today, more than two thousand live chickens and one thousand ducks were prepared to be supplied to the food city at any time …" Meton didn't let Li Shimin guess and directly gave the answer.
"So much!" Li Shimin exclaimed. However, looking at the crowd around and the scene of Li Zhi and Princess Jinyang eating, he couldn't help but believe Meton's words.
"The increase in the number of chickens and ducks will inevitably lead to a decline in the price of meat. In order to stabilize the interests of farmers, we can only solve the problem by increasing the demand. With these delicacies researched by the Mo Family, I'm afraid the price of chickens and ducks in the capital will not fall in a short time, "Meton said confidently.
"This is only the price of meat! Old Master Li, please take a look at these two eggs! " Meton handed the two eggs to Li Shimin. One was a duck egg, and the other was a century egg covered with sawdust.
Li Shimin picked up the duck egg, cracked the eggshell, and split the duck egg into two. After tasting it, he exclaimed in surprise, "It's salty."
Not only was it salty, but it also tasted good. Li Shimin ate a salted duck egg, still not satisfied.
Meton nodded and reached out to break the sawdust and lime shell on the shell of the century egg. He gently peeled it open, revealing the crystal clear egg inside.
"This is salted duck egg, made with salt and plant ash. This is century egg, made with quicklime and sawdust." Meton ordered a plate of cold century egg from a stall and let Li Shimin taste it.
"Delicious!"
The moment the cool and chewy century egg entered his mouth, Li Shimin's eyes lit up and he nodded in praise.
"Being delicious is only one aspect of salted duck eggs and century eggs. More importantly, they can preserve chicken eggs and duck eggs for more than half a year. It won't cause an overstock of chicken and duck eggs that can't be sold. It can also raise the price and increase the farmer's income. "Morton pointed at the salted duck eggs and century eggs on the table.
"Great!" Li Shimin's face lit up with joy.
He did not expect Meton to solve his problem so perfectly. This way, the farmer could breed a large number of chickens and ducks. The roosters and drakes could be sold directly, while the hens and ducks could be left to wait for orders. If they could sell fresh eggs, they could sell them. If they couldn't sell them, they could make salted duck eggs and century eggs. It wouldn't be a waste at all. In the long run, as long as the farmer wasn't lazy, they would become richer and richer.
"The Mo Family won't keep these two production methods for themselves, right?" Li Shimin warned.
Meton shook his head and said, "Don't worry, Master Li. The next issue of Mo Magazine will publish the production methods of these two delicacies."
Li Shimin nodded his head in relief. Meton might seem unconstrained, but when it came to matters that benefited the country and the people, he had a clear understanding of the importance.
It could be imagined that when the farmer had no worries, there would be a wave of breeding boom. At that time, the day when every family in the Tang dynasty could eat meat would not be far away.
Li Shimin was in a good mood after solving a troublesome problem. He took Li Zhi and Princess Jinyang to have a good stroll in the gourmet city.
Wide belt noodles, boiling hot noodles, all kinds of classic stir-fried dishes! They were all specially made into small portions by Mo Jiazi, so that they could taste all kinds of different delicacies with only a few coins.
Even so, along the way, Li Shimin was also very satisfied. Li Zhi and Princess Jin Yang's small bellies were also pretty much full.
"Slave Zhi and Cui Zi, wait! There's even more delicious food waiting to be served today. "Modun couldn't help but remind Li Zhi and Jin Yang Princess when he saw that they still hadn't had enough.
"Meton, is it really more delicious?" Princess Jinyang held the fried chicken leg and said reluctantly. She had a special affection for fried chicken and could not think of any delicacy more delicious than fried chicken.
"Cui Zi, don't worry. I promise it's more delicious than fried chicken leg!" Meton said with a smile.
"Oh!" Princess Jinyang looked expectant, and Li Zhi hurriedly put down the fried chicken steak in his hand, waiting for the delicacy mentioned by Meton.
At this time, a sweet and strange fragrance suddenly drifted in the air. People who smelled it could not help but take a breath of it infatuatedly.
"It smells so good!" Princess Jinyang said in a childish voice.
Li Zhi's face was also intoxicated. He couldn't help but walk towards the source of the fragrance.
"What's this?" Li Shimin took a deep breath. He could not help but want to taste this fragrance.
"This is the new delicacy of the Mo family, cake!" Meton smelled the familiar smell and said reluctantly.
"Cake? Eggs again? "Li Shimin raised his eyebrows. As the name suggested, cake must have something to do with eggs.
"Yes, the secret of cake is in eggs." Meton nodded.
Creak!
The six closed shops opened at the same time. A large plate of yellow pastries emitted a strange fragrance. Cake, a dessert that was popular in later generations and captivated thousands of children and girls, appeared for the first time in the Tang dynasty.
"Wow!"
The whole gourmet city was in an uproar. People flocked to the six shops in an instant. The power of cake was the same in any era. It was an irresistible temptation.
"It's delicious!" Princess Jinyang took the first bite and was immediately conquered by the fragrant and sweet delicacy.
"In the future, I want to eat it every day!" Li Zhi could not stop eating. He finished one of the pastries in a few bites.
"I didn't expect that eggs and noodles could be made into a delicacy." Li Shimin sighed. He could not help but try one! The smooth texture made him, who had a strong will, unable to help but indulge in it.
"Father! What should I do if I can't eat anymore? " After eating five pieces of crispy cake in a row, Jin Yang Princess stroked her round belly and looked at the cake pitifully.
"Aunt, you can take these cakes back and eat them when you're hungry!" Li Shimin said dotingly.
"Yes!" Princess Jinyang nodded heavily. "Aunt wants to learn how to make cakes so that Father and Mother can eat them every day!"
"Good! Our Aunt is the most filial. Do you want to eat it? "Li Shimin could not help but tease.
"I'll just eat a little!" Princess Jinyang could not help but reveal her thoughts.
"Hahaha!"
Li Shimin and Meton could not help but laugh.
"Don't worry, Aunt. The secret cake recipe and tools will be sent to your residence soon!" Meton quickly said before Li Shimin could say anything.
"Yes! Meton, you're so nice. I won't let Ninth Brother call you Demon King anymore! "Princess Jinyang said softly.
Meton's face darkened and he looked at Li Zhi helplessly.
"I won't call you Demon King anymore since there's cake to eat!" Li Zhi could not resist the temptation of delicious food and quickly said.
"Thank you so much, Aunt," Meton said with a smile.
After sending off Li Shimin and the others, Meton looked at the sea of people in the Mo Family's gourmet city and could not help but smile. This time, the Mo Family's gourmet city became famous.
Not only did it become famous, but the cakes also became popular in Chang 'an City and directly pushed the Mo Family's gourmet city to the top of the gourmet world. Li Zhi and Princess Jinyang were not the only two children who liked cakes. Everyone in the gourmet city was fascinated after tasting it, especially after the first batch of people tasted and brought back many cakes, which immediately ignited the taste buds of countless people.
