Datang: Eight-year-old general

Chapter 259 Coaxing the Three Daughters with Candied Haws

"This..." The cooks were shocked, Li Yi's words made them feel unbelievable, and asked hesitantly, "His Royal Highness, hasn't there been a distinction between superiority and inferiority since ancient times?"

"It's about dignity." Li Yi nodded in agreement, and then changed the subject, "But this respect is not what you understand, it's about status."

"Respect means to respect the old and love the young, respect the elders, and respect those who have made contributions to the country. It is the embodiment of etiquette. Humility refers to our own humility, maintaining a humble attitude, and improving self-cultivation."

"So the difference between respect and humility is to let us know how to respect others, keep humble at all times, and do our own things well."

"It's just that some people have misinterpreted the meaning, making people feel that the distinction between superior and inferior refers to the difference in status."

"And you are no worse than others, even me, the king of Tang, because you can make the world's food, but I can't, I can only make some snacks."

"I can be a general and fight against the enemy, but you can also take the lead and fight bloody battles. Are we the same?"

"So there is no difference between us, we are all equal."

"His Highness Tang Wang said that seems to be the case." The cooks were a little confused. They really couldn't understand the meaning of Li Yi's words, but they just relied on their feelings and seemed to make sense.

But can't figure out why.

Li Yi just smiled and said nothing.

Because if you want to change a person, the deep-rooted thoughts in your mind cannot be accomplished without one or two generations.

The cooks were not trying to persuade Li Yi, so Li Yi started making candied haws.

He first washed the sour lihong with clean water, then picked out the sour lihong with worm eyes, removed the core inside with a bamboo stick, and put five sour lihongs on the stick.

Fortunately, for meat today, the cooks prepared bamboo sticks to shave the meat, and there are still a lot of clean ones left, otherwise Li Yi would have to get bamboo sticks again.

Then, Li Yi, who was not tall enough, moved a small wooden pier, set fire to a clay pot, put sucrose into the pot, and started to boil the sugar juice, stirring it occasionally with a wooden spoon.

Until the sucrose takes on a caramel color, the sugar juice is considered ready.

And the fact that Li Yi became the cook quickly spread throughout the general's mansion.

Those servants, as well as the guards of the general's mansion, all ran to the fire room to watch, when they really saw Li Yi cooking.

They were all startled, and they all whispered,

"Look, that's His Royal Highness Tang Wang. He's really cooking."

"Yeah, I didn't expect His Royal Highness Tang Wang to make such delicate snacks."

"Look, isn't that sour red? It's so sour. Is it edible?"

"Hush, don't die, dare to question His Royal Highness Tang, since His Royal Highness is doing it, you can definitely eat it."

Listening to the discussion outside, Li Yi didn't go to explain to them, but concentrated on wrapping the sugar juice on the skewered sour red.

After doing fifteen in a row, Li Yi stopped this time.

Wait for the icing on top of the sourdough to cool.

"Come and make some, share it with Fajia." Li Yi, who was washing his hands in clean water, said, looking sideways at the cook.

"His Royal Highness, is this delicious?" the chefs asked curiously.

This is not to question Li Yi, but purely out of curiosity.

"If you make it, don't you know?" Li Yi smiled warmly, "I'm here to watch you do it. If you make a mistake, I can give you some pointers."

"Okay." The guys nodded in unison.

His Royal Highness Tang gave them instructions to make snacks, which flattered the chefs, straightened their backs, and concentrated on making them.

Li Yi also watched and pointed.

"You have to clean the core, otherwise when you eat it, you will hurt your teeth if you don't pay attention."

"The fire is too big, you have to cook slowly over medium heat, otherwise the sugar juice will become mushy and bitter, and you won't be able to make sour red sugar coating."

"Pour water on the wooden pier quickly, otherwise the sugar coating that will be poured in a while will stick to the wooden pier."

"Don't shake your hands, but pour sugar on the candied haws steadily."

Just when Li Yi was instructing the cooks to make candied haws, Qing Wu, Yan Ruchu, and Li Yuniang came over after hearing the news.

The three of them heard that Li Yi didn't make plans in the room, how to destroy the Turks, but went into the fire room to make things.

It really surprised the three women, and hurried over.

Seeing Li Yi rolling up his sleeves and ordering the cooks to do strange things, the three girls couldn't help but smile.

At this moment, they felt that Li Yi was like a child now.

Very cute and cute child.

After the cooks finished cooking, Li Yi also put down his sleeves and said, "Okay, you have mastered how to make candied haws, and you can make them yourself if you want to eat them in the future, and you can't eat the freshly made ones. After they are cooled, The sugar coating is crunchy."

"His Royal Highness Tang, you guys understand." The cooks nodded like chickens pecking at rice.

"Then I'll go first." Li Yi picked up fifteen bunches of candied haws that had cooled down, and walked out of the fire room.

"Respectfully send off His Royal Highness the King of Tang." The cooks bowed down.

Li Yi, who stepped out of the fire room, couldn't help shaking his little head.

They still didn't understand what they said.

The servants and guards outside the fire room wanted to bow down when they saw Li Yi coming out, but Li Yi waved his hand to stop him and said, "No need to pray, go to the fire room to get your own candied haws."

As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw the three daughters of Li Yuniang, also standing behind the crowd, looking at him strangely.

Li Yi was taken aback for a moment, and then he stepped forward and said, "It just so happens that you are here, so I won't go looking for you."

As he said, he distributed the candied haws to Li Yuniang and the three daughters, "This is the candied haws I made for you. Try it and see if it tastes good. If you are in a bad mood, tell me."

"Otherwise, it's hard for me to understand what you guys are thinking."

Three bunches of candied haws per person, and Li Yi will take the rest to Xu Zhudianwei.

At this time, they were still in the yellow sand plug, and it happened that Li Yi was also going to make some arrangements.

"Did it for us?" The three girls holding candied haws looked at each other with a touch of emotion in their eyes.

Qing Wu was no longer arrogant, she held the candied haws tightly, her face was blushing.

Yan Ruchu is more popular than Qing Wu, and only she knows what Li Yi said about being in a bad mood.

"Crack."

Li Yi also took out a string of candied haws and took a bite.

Well, it's this smell.

Seeing that the three girls didn't eat, and looked down at him, Li Yi couldn't help touching his face and asked, "Is there any black dust on my face?"

The three girls shook their heads.

"Then why are you staring at me? Eat it quickly and see if it tastes good. If you like it, let the cooks make it for you."

Speaking of which, Li Yi took another bite of candied haws, and walked towards the outside of the general's mansion, "I'll go to Zhang Liao and the others to discuss something."

At this time, the three girls also came back to their senses, and they all picked up the candied haws and took a bite, "It's so sweet and sour..."
