The temple secretary was just beginning to feel doubtful when he heard Zhao Xin slowly say again, "However, since Prime Minister Cui is unwilling to wait for death, I will grant his wish.
Speaking of which, it’s time for us to start doing something big.”
Liu Muzhi and others around the emperor were actually laughing, as if they didn't doubt the emperor's words at all.
Mr. Liu Muzhi simply asked casually, "It seems that Your Majesty has already devised a strategy to target the aristocratic families?"
The emperor picked up the wooden basin containing crushed sweet potatoes and poured all the remaining residue into the grinding hole.
After a while, the crushed sweet potatoes turned into a white paste mixed with puree and flowed into the large wooden basin under the stone mill.
Zhao Xin did not answer Liu Muzhi's question, but ordered the palace servants to bring clean coarse gauze, and ordered people to build a wooden frame and a cross-shaped crossbar.
Then he ordered people to use iron chains to hang the iron buckle at the center of the cross-shaped cross frame and hang it directly on the crossbeam of the wooden frame.
Then tie the four corners of the wide gauze to the four corners of the cross truss.
At this point, everyone understood what the emperor was going to do, and they all started to pour the white pulp and the puree in the wooden basin into the gauze bag.
And there is also a wooden basin underneath.
Afterwards, the emperor ordered people to hold the four corners of the cross truss and shake the gauze bag.
The next moment, the white liquid in the cloth bag immediately flowed out.
Everyone couldn't help but show a look of joy when they saw this, vaguely knowing that they had finally achieved results.
The temple secretary even asked smartly, "Your Majesty, should we boil it in a big pot next?"
"Why boil it? This isn't soy milk!"
Zhao Xin rolled his eyes at him. "If you don't understand, don't pretend to understand."
"hey-hey……"
The temple secretary laughed awkwardly and didn't care. What was there to care about being scolded by the emperor?
What he cared about more was how the emperor could understand all this?
And what is soy milk?
By the way, I seem to have heard that some people in the south grind soybeans into cakes called tofu. It is said that the taste is fishy and coarse, even worse than bean rice, and only untouchables would eat it.
Is that what Your Majesty is talking about? No, how could the emperor know about that kind of food for the untouchables?
Si Cheng subconsciously rejected this idea, but he didn't know that he had accidentally missed an opportunity to improve the development process of tofu making technology.
Instead, he carefully memorized every step the emperor was taking and felt that he had mastered an advanced technology.
If used well, it may bring great benefits.
So after laughing, he opened his eyes wide and looked very attentively.
Of course, Li Yunqing also carefully remembered every detail.
He even squatted down to carefully observe the white pulp in the basin and the remaining residue in the cloth bag.
Zhao Xin ignored the temple secretary and explained to Li Yunqing, "This is the starch in the sweet potato. After a little sedimentation and drying, it can be turned into a fine powder with a fine texture.
Once this powder is made, all the drawbacks of sweet potatoes can be overcome, and there are many ways to eat them. "
When Li Yunqing, Liu Muzhi and others heard this, their eyes lit up.
Although they had believed that the emperor would not just talk, the feeling was different when the real thing was right in front of them.
Li Yunqing couldn't help but lift one side of the wooden basin slightly, and he saw that a powdery layer had begun to settle in the basin. The texture was so fine and snow-white that it did not seem like something from this world.
At least Li Yunqing had never seen any food that could compare to it.
Even finely ground wheat flour that goes through many processes cannot compare to it.
At this point, Li Yunqing is full of confidence in the prospects of sweet potatoes.
Liu Muzhi and others couldn't help but have their eyes shining and murmur.
"Treasure, it is indeed a treasure..."
"Of course it's a treasure."
Zhao Xin smiled faintly, then pointed at the starchy layers and said, "Gentlemen, do you think the noble families would be tempted by this?"
When Liu Muzhi and others heard this, their expressions froze.
In fact, they probably had already guessed that Zhao Xin was going to use sweet potatoes to negotiate with the aristocratic families, but they had previously thought that this was to exchange for the support of the aristocratic families.
But now it seems that the emperor wants more.
Otherwise the emperor would not have gone to so much trouble.
Looking at the sediment layers again, he couldn't help but sigh slightly: "What a pity."
Zhao Xin raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and smiled softly, "A pity? Not necessarily."
"That's right. No matter how good this thing is, it's not as important as the lives of the people."
Liu Muzhi nodded slightly.
Yu Qian, Kou Zhunren and others also nodded.
Zhao Xin smiled again when he heard this. It was obvious that Liu Muzhi and others had misunderstood what he meant.
But he didn't continue. He had a plan, but there was no need to say more for the time being.
He immediately smiled and said, "It's a little early to say that now. We still have to try it to know if it's really as good as we think."
When Zhao Xin said this, he couldn't help but feel excited. The first delicacy he had personally prepared in this world was finally going to be released.
He immediately turned around and asked the eunuch next to him, "Have the kitchen utensils that I asked Tianxiaju to send arrived?"
An eunuch quickly stepped forward and replied, "Your Majesty, it has been delivered. Sanniang and Cook Ding are waiting outside."
"Oh, Sanniang is here too. What a treat!"
When Zhao Xin heard that Qiao Sanniang had also arrived, he couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Since they're here, let them in."
Not only Qiao Sanniang came, but also Li Cunxiao.
"Your Majesty, Her Majesty the Queen!"
When the two entered the back garden and saw so many people, even the queen was there, they were stunned.
