Chapter 108 Offering Recipes
After Shen Keting and Zhou Ying, Shen Zhaonian also tasted the instant noodles. He picked up the noodles with his chopsticks and slurped them up.
The smooth and chewy noodles are wrapped in the fragrant soup and are soaked in hot water for just the right amount of time.
This allows the special sauce to completely melt and blend into the noodles, but the noodles will not become too soft and lose their elasticity due to absorbing too much soup.
Because Shen Huazheng mixed eggs into the noodles and fried them in oil, the rich egg liquid was locked in by the high temperature.
Chew it carefully, and the rich aroma of sauce and the light aroma of egg will intertwine and linger on the tip of your tongue.
It's like a song played on the taste buds, making people linger.
After finishing the noodles, Shen Zhaonian scooped up a spoonful of noodle soup with a spoon and put it into his mouth.
The finely chopped meat and diced mushrooms go into your mouth along with the soup. If you taste it carefully, you can taste the fresh fragrance of noodles and eggs, the rich aroma of the sauce, the meaty aroma of the minced meat, and the fresh aroma of the mushrooms themselves.
It is rare to have such delicious taste without using any broth.
“It’s delicious,” Shen Zhaonian put down the spoon and looked at Shen Huazheng: “I didn’t expect that even noodles soaked in hot water can be so chewy and elastic.”
Before eating this bowl of noodles, Shen Zhaonian had already tasted the cooked instant noodles.
He originally thought that this bowl of instant noodles made with hot water would taste much worse than the previous bowl of noodles.
I didn’t expect that even instant noodles soaked in hot water would be just as fresh and delicious, but they lacked that unique toughness and smoothness.
Thinking that instant noodles can be eaten raw as a snack, and that there are all kinds of sauces, Shen Zhaonian feels that his daughter is really amazing.
"Zheng'er, do you plan to sell these instant noodles and sauces?"
After the crab feast, there were still a lot of hairy crabs left in the Shen Mansion, and Shen Huazheng used them to make a lot of crab roe sauce.
This time, in order to prepare for Shen Keting's business trip away from Beijing, Shen Huazheng made other sauces.
Such as mushroom sauce, shacha sauce, chili sauce, beef sauce, seafood sauce, etc., which can be eaten with rice or noodles.
She even made some jam to use in desserts.
Shen Huazheng thought for a moment, “Next, when we have time, we should open a shop to sell sauces and instant noodles.”
Now that these sauces have been made, they must not be wasted.
Maybe I can open a sauce shop and turn it into a chain business.
The business opportunities behind instant noodles are endless. Whether you are on the road or just relaxing at home, everyone will like this bowl of delicious food.
Shen Zhaonian looked at Shen Huazheng and pondered for a moment: “Zheng’er, have you ever thought about presenting the recipe of instant noodles to His Majesty?”
"For His Majesty?"
Chen Huazheng found it a little strange. His Majesty would need a recipe for instant noodles? ?
"You haven't realized the importance of this instant noodles," Shen Zhaonian knew from the look on Shen Huazheng's face that she didn't understand what he meant, "The hardships of marching people are sometimes unimaginable. During wars, food shortages are even more common. If the army could have a batch of food like instant noodles, the soldiers' lives would be much better."
"Moreover," Shen Zhaonian continued to explain, "even if you offer the recipe for instant noodles, it will not affect your business. On the contrary, His Majesty will credit you with a merit and become your backer."
Once this achievement is recorded, no matter what business Shen Huazheng does in the future, no one will be able to compete with him.
“So that’s how it is,” Shen Huazheng really didn’t think that much, “Then I will present this recipe to His Majesty.”
"Zheng'er," Shen Zhaonian looked at Shen Huazheng and said sincerely. "You are better than Daddy."
…
"Is this really so magical?"
While the Queen Mother was drinking grape milk tea, she listened to Emperor Jingning talking about the instant noodle recipe presented by Shen Zhaonian.
Emperor Jingning was delighted: "Really? You can cook it, soak it in water, or even eat it raw. I've tried it, and it's not only convenient to eat, but it also tastes great."
Emperor Jingning has tasted both boiled and soaked instant noodles.
It’s really delicious.
But if Emperor Jingning had to choose, he would prefer to eat it raw.
Just now, while reviewing memorials, he ate a packet of instant noodles as a snack.
Oh, Shen Zhaonian said that when eaten raw, it is called crispy noodles.
The instant noodles were really fragrant and crispy, making a "crunching" sound when you bite them. The more you chew, the more fragrant and delicious they become.
After eating it, my mouth is filled with crispy fragrance.
The Queen Mother swallowed the fruit tea in her mouth and said: "Emperor, Zheng'er is really a rare talent in the world. You must reward her well."
If this can be accomplished, Shen Yatou will be a hero of Daliang.
As if she was worried that Emperor Jingning would be stingy, the Queen Mother added, "If it was something else, it would be fine if he gave some rare treasures, silks and satins, and some hard-to-find books. But this matter concerns military rations, and that girl and the Shen family are willing to offer the food recipes for free, so you must treat it with caution."
Emperor Jingning's expression also turned serious, "I understand."
It is a great blessing that Daliang has Chen Huazheng.
This matter was of great importance, so he would certainly not send Shen Huazheng away simply by taking some things.
However, you still need to think carefully about what to give.
Seeing that Emperor Jingning had listened to her words, the empress dowager happily drank the fruit tea with milk cap.
The two continued to happily exchange their food experiences.
"Queen, Your Majesty, please have some cakes."
Aunt Fang placed a plate of square, pleasing-looking pastries on the table and then stepped aside.
"Emperor, please try this chrysanthemum cake. It is a new product from Lianxiangzhai, and I specially asked someone to buy it for me."
Every time Lianxiangzhai released a new product, the Empress Dowager would be the first to ask people to buy it.
This new chrysanthemum cake has a sweet and soft taste. The Empress Dowager likes it very much and would send people outside the palace to buy it from time to time.
"Thank you, mother."
Emperor Jingning picked up a piece and took a bite.
Chrysanthemum cake has a soft, glutinous and dense texture, and is sweet and delicious.
If you taste it carefully, you can also taste a hint of fresh chrysanthemum scent and a light rice aroma.
Delicious indeed.
The Queen Mother also picked up a piece of chrysanthemum cake and started eating it, taking a bite of the cake and sip of fruit tea with milk.
Lianxiangzhai’s chrysanthemum cake is best eaten with fruit tea with milk cap, especially grape milk cap fruit tea.
However, she would not tell Emperor Jingning.
Chrysanthemum cake can be shared, but fruit tea with milk cap cannot be shared.
Emperor Jingning ate one bite after another and finished the whole piece of chrysanthemum cake in one go.
He picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
In a flash, an idea appeared in Emperor Jingning's mind.
He put down the teacup and a smile appeared in his eyes.
He knew what to give the girl.
