Qingzhu was also embarrassed. She reached out her hand to try to persuade him, but eventually withdrew it.
...
In the study, Qin Yu showed no mercy to Yu Zhu today. Yu Zhu on the bed had been tortured to the point of being limp and unable to even get out of bed and walk.
Qin Yu was also refreshed and secretly surprised.
Yu Zhu seemed to have improved her skills, making him increasingly unable to stop.
However, seeing Yuzhu lying limply on the bed, Qin Yu felt secretly pleased.
Who told her to keep coming over to spy on us? She deserves it now.
Qin Yu pushed open the door and went out. Upon seeing this, Qingzhu hurriedly reported, "Your Majesty, Ziyan just came by. It seems that the Empress wanted to give you something, but she has left now."
"Oh, didn't she say what it was?"
"No, this servant is not quite sure." Qingzhu blushed and shook her head.
"Yes, I understand."
Qin Yu nodded, not taking it to heart.
Anyway, the military rations are almost ready, and he was just testing the spies, which is also an important matter!
Although we explored a bit too deep!
...
On the other side, Zhao Lan was secretly looking at a map at her desk in her palace, her brows furrowed in worry.
The supply line is too long, and it has to pass through mountains and valleys, so the losses will definitely be greater.
Just as I was worrying about this, Ziyan returned.
"Why are you back so soon? Did you hand over the military rations register to the Emperor?"
Zi Yan shook her head, placed the grain ration book on the table, and sighed softly.
Zhao Lan asked, puzzled and confused, "Why did you bring the military ration book back? Shouldn't it have already been given to the tyrant?"
Zi Yan shook her head bitterly and told Zhao Lan what she had just seen and heard.
After saying that, she couldn't help but complain, "This tyrant is really too much."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Lan was speechless and felt even more contempt for Qin Yu.
Seeing his confident promises, she almost thought he really had a good idea, but it turned out to be just a passing fad, and he went back to his debauched ways in the blink of an eye.
But that's fine, I'll make him honor the bet when the time comes.
Just as Zhao Lan was about to dismiss Zi Yan, a sinister laugh rang out from outside the door.
"Is the Empress here? I have brought with me new military rations!"
Qin Yu stepped into the study and saw Zhao Lan there. He immediately grinned and raised an eyebrow.
"My beloved consort, I have come to keep my appointment."
Zhao Lan frowned and asked, "Your Majesty, have you prepared the military rations?"
Qin Yu waved his hand, signaling An Fu to bring in the instant noodle box.
"This is the new type of military rations that I have developed. It is simple to make and can be eaten directly with just water."
After staring at the food box for a while, Zhao Lan was speechless. She rolled her eyes at him and sighed helplessly.
This was the first time she had ever heard of cooking noodles in cold water.
Military rations are a matter of life and death for tens of thousands of soldiers, yet this foolish emperor treats them so lightly.
What disgusted her most was that Qin Yu had been slacking off for several days, and in the end, he actually used this thing to appease her!
Zhao Lan's expression grew colder and colder. Finally, she let out a cold snort and said, "Your Majesty, according to the agreement, you lost the bet. Your Majesty must grant me one request. I want you to issue a decree..."
Before he could finish speaking, Qin Yu suddenly interrupted him.
"When did I ever lose?"
Qin Yu raised an eyebrow and said calmly.
Zhao Lan frowned slightly. "What does Your Majesty mean? Are you perhaps trying to renege on your debt?"
Qin Yu laughed and said, "My beloved consort, you are overthinking it. I always keep my word! This is the new type of military ration, called instant noodles. I'll show you how. Ziyan, get some cold water."
After getting the cold water, Qin Yu gave a live demonstration.
Zhao Lan ignored Qin Yu, treating him as if he were just fooling around, and frowned as she looked at the military map and battle plan.
But just as she was engrossed in watching, a fragrant aroma suddenly wafted over.
Not only Zhao Lan smelled it, but Zi Yan couldn't help but sniff it again.
"Where is this fragrance coming from? It smells so good!"
"Yes, just the smell makes my mouth water."
Zhao Lan and Zi Yan searched around and were shocked to find that the taste was Qin Yu's instant noodles.
Before I knew it, the cold water had started to boil, the noodles were cooked, and the dried vegetables and meat had soaked up the water and stretched out. What a steaming bowl of meat soup noodles!
Qin Yu raised an eyebrow, chuckled, and said, "This is instant noodles. It's simple, convenient, and delicious. You should all try some!"
Zi Yan glanced at Zhao Lan, then gritted her teeth and said, "This servant will try first."
Zi Yan took her chopsticks and stepped forward. After hesitating for a moment, she took a small bite.
The instant noodles burst into her mouth with a rich and unique aroma, instantly brightening her eyes.
She had never eaten such amazing noodles before; they were absolutely delicious.
She picked up several strands of noodles and put them in her mouth. A rich aroma immediately spread between her lips and teeth. It was so delicious!
Zhao Lan asked curiously, "How is it? Is it delicious?"
She couldn't believe it! Could this tyrant possibly be a magician?
This thing appears out of thin air, and it boils on its own when you soak it in water. It has a rich aroma. If you can even eat it, then it's really quite magical!
"Your Majesty, please try some!"
Zi Yan felt she couldn't describe it in words; it was just too delicious, too delicious!
Zhao Lan didn't stand on ceremony, took out a new pair of chopsticks, and started tasting.
The moment the noodles touched her lips, Zhao Lan's beautiful eyes widened in shock.
Zhao Lan is quite worldly-wise and has enjoyed a life of luxury since childhood. It's not that this instant noodle is particularly delicious, but it's certainly better than the noodles you get at any random restaurant!
Moreover, this noodle is extremely chewy, and its aroma is something that other noodles simply don't have!
Therefore, Zhao Lan did not believe it at this moment, and did not believe that Qin Yu did it on the spot.
"Your Majesty, did you really make these noodles on the spot?"
Zhao Lan asked in surprise, her eyes flashing with suspicion.
Qin Yu raised an eyebrow and said smugly, "Of course, instant noodles, as the name suggests, are convenient! The secret to how quickly they can boil and cook lies in this heating pack."
As he spoke, Qin Yu took out a heating pack and showed it to the two women, who looked puzzled.
Qin Yu smiled slightly and asked An Fu to pour some water onto the heating pack.
Soon, the heating pack that came into contact with the water began to boil, and gurgling steam immediately rose up.
This scene was like a magic trick, leaving Zhao Lan and the other person astonished.
Qin Yu continued to explain, "With this heating pack at the bottom, steam can be supplied to the top for heating. In other words, hot water is not needed. Each soldier only needs to be equipped with one of these metal boxes, and they can have hot instant noodles anytime, anywhere!"
"This...this is too amazing!"
Zhao Lan was shocked upon hearing this and asked in disbelief.
Having been through many battles, she immediately realized just how convenient instant noodles would be if used as military rations!
This invention was truly a revolutionary product for military operations!
