Chapter 108 Prince Yu’s experimental spirit
After sending Gao Gong away, Zhu Zaijing practiced "Xiantian Kung" leisurely for a while, sweeping away the fatigue accumulated from long hours of class after an intense afternoon. But Kong, then went to the back house in high spirits.
"How is it?"
After arriving in the secret courtyard of the back house, Zhu Zaijing asked Meng Chong who was conducting careful experiments inside.
Zhu Zaijing had great expectations for this green tea drink. Seeing the footsteps of summer getting closer and closer, Zhu Zaijing couldn't help but become anxious.
You must know that if this green tea drink can be launched before the hot midsummer, it will definitely open up the situation instantly.
Because green tea itself has the effect of relieving heat and quenching thirst, Zhu Zaijing couldn't help but asked again impatiently.
After hearing Zhu Zaijing's question, Meng Chong also wiped the sweat from his forehead nervously.
"Wait a moment, Your Majesty, I have just made a few more batches, and they are still cooking. You can check the situation in a while."
Zhu Zaijing hummed, and then followed suit. Wearing a shoe cover and a mask and walking over, Zhu Zaijing smelled the overflowing fragrance of tea and asked: "What ingredients were put in this time?"
Meng Chong replied: "According to the prince's instructions, the servant found some spices and honey to mix in it. It's just that the proportions are different, so we have to wait for the final result to know."
Zhu Zaijing was satisfied. Nodding, the smell this time smelled different from the previous test. Maybe it might be successful this time.
Then Zhu Zaijing came out again. After all, the temperature inside was still relatively high. Although Zhu Zaijing's current physical fitness could withstand some heat.
But Zhu Zaijing still didn't like the sweaty feeling, so he walked around inside and went outside, leaving the venue completely to Meng Chong.
After nearly a year of training, although Meng Chong did not practice "Xiantian Kung" with Zhu Zaijing, he also lost a lot of weight and was not as chubby as before.
It can be seen that appropriate labor can really lose weight.
It is a pity that Zhu Zaijing is a "lazy man". Apart from being able to move his mouth, his actual practical ability is almost zero.
So Meng Chong is the only one who has the hard work.
Looking at Meng Chong painstakingly recording each test process, Zhu Zaijing couldn't help but sigh at Meng Chong's professionalism.
As expected of a chef, he has a professional attitude when doing food-related things.
So in order to repay Meng Chong's efforts, Zhu Zaijing couldn't help but think that when his material life was rich enough in the future, he would hold a tailor-made cooking competition for Meng Chong, so that he could become a "God of Cooking" celebrity for the ages!
Of course, these are just thoughts now. After all, Zhu Zaijing has no actual power now, so the benefits he can give Meng Chong, apart from caring, are endless pie.
After a while, the green tea in each test pot finally stopped heating, and the water, tea powder, sugar, etc., as well as the spices and honey in the new mix were completely mixed into one. Meng Chong was finally able to relax.
At this time, Zhu Zaijing also thoughtfully helped open a bunch of ice cubes used to cool down green tea. Meng Chong saw his prince personally helping, and he was moved to tears, "Your Majesty, please rest, slave. Just one person."
Zhu Zaijing said politely: "It's faster for two people. Hurry up and pour the green tea into the marker cup, and then put it in the ice cream to cool down."
< br>
Meng Chong hummed in excitement, and moved his hands and feet a little faster.
Soon Meng Chong poured several portions of the green tea from the test into correspondingly marked cups, and then put them into the ice pan.
After these processes were completed, Zhu Zaijing also greeted: "Come out and get some air, it's so hot inside. It's hard for you."
Meng Chong said movedly: "I am a cook. Not afraid of heat."
Zhu Zaijing said with a smile: "Why is the cook not afraid of heat? I am not a fool. I still know the difference between hot and cold. Come out and get some air."
< br>
Meng Chong was deeply moved by Zhu Zaijing's concern. It is important to know that it is rare for a master to care about his slaves.
Once it appears, it means that the master really regards the slave as his intimate person.
So one can imagine how moved Meng Chong was. Meng Chong came out obediently and took off his mask, shoe covers, gloves, and overalls. Feeling the cool air outside, he felt refreshed.
Zhu Zaijing said again: "You go and wash up first, and then go to the small kitchen to prepare tonight's dinner for me. I will just watch here. .”
Meng Chong hummed again in emotion, and then left here according to Zhu Zaijing's instructions.
Zhu Zaijing stood alone in this small courtyard looking at the ice mirror with the lid closed, and could not help but think about another important issue.
The sealing process and sanitary conditions in the Ming Dynasty seem to be a bit poor. After these green teas are made, without a good sealing process and sanitary conditions, it seems difficult to guarantee the shelf life.
It would be great if we could make a preservative.
But how to make preservatives?
Although preservatives are not a good thing and can even be harmful to health.
But Zhu Zaijing does not feel any guilt about making preservatives.
But the more unfortunate problem is that Zhu Zaijing does not know how to make preservatives.
After thinking for a while, Zhu Zaijing couldn't help but think of Li Shizhen. Now it seems that the only scientific researcher Zhu Zaijing can think of is Li Shizhen.
For this only scientific research talent, Zhu Zaijing naturally loves and protects him like a treasure, but it is not good to always have someone to boss him around.
Therefore, Zhu Zaijing also has to think about another more profound issue, which is the cultivation and reserve of talents.
Otherwise, if Li Shizhen is exhausted, where can Zhu Zaijing find a second imperial physician who can be trusted to protect him?
Therefore, Zhu Zaijing must also face up to this problem, and the money that should be spent cannot be saved.
After all, Zhu Zaijing’s financial situation is now many times better than this time last year.
This money cannot be taken with you or taken away with you. If you don't use it to its maximum efficiency and just sit empty in the palace's warehouses and accounts, that would be a sin.
So it's time to launch some new cash-burning projects.
It’s time to spend some money on talent training.
Thinking of this, Zhu Zaijing's sense of urgency suddenly rose, and at this time, Meng Chong also came back.
Meng Chong said to Zhu Zaijing: "The prince's dinner is ready."
Zhu Zaijing continued to think and nodded: "Tomorrow, you will find Dr. Li. I will The king has something important to do.”
When Meng Chong heard that his prince was looking for Li Shizhen again, he was not nervous at all.
Because Zhu Zaijing visited Li Shizhen very frequently during this year, when he heard that his prince wanted to see Dr. Li to the palace, he would not think that the prince was ill.
Meng Chong asked: "Is it the morning or the afternoon?"
Zhu Zaijing thought again, "In the morning."
After saying this, Zhu Zaijing Zai Jing started to take action and asked Meng Chong to open the ice mirror and take out the cold green tea test sample to taste.
