Chapter 413 Delicious, so delicious!
Through the dialogue between the emperor and Yanan, Gao Li clearly felt the performance of both sides showing goodwill to him. Sure enough, there was a mushroom egg and a peerless master's wife, and the deterrence was enough!
"What else does Prince Gao want to know?" Alruo continued to ask.
"I want to know too much, for example, are there really countless people left? For example, why does Queen Yanan have no status? For example, why do you have to return to this world? For example, what do you like to eat? Is your language our language? Is there all year round? In short, I am full of curiosity about your world, and I am full of all kinds of disagreements about you." Gao Li said.
"But in fact, no matter what I say, you won't believe it." Elruo said.
"Don't believe it." Gao Li said.
"Maybe, one day in the future, you can go to our world to see it," said Aljo.
"That's great." Gao Li said.
Gao Li was very interested in these wonderful races. He wanted to know what kind of races the heavenly beings and evil spirits were. The biggest problem now is mainly because there is no one who can talk normally on the heavenly beings. The only heavenly beings, the so-called god in the Shenwei organization, could not communicate normally, and it was mysterious every day.
"That's good," said Aljo. "Now the passage to our world is controlled by several other princes. If you can help Queen Yanan regain power, you can come to our world at any time."
"Then forget it." Gao Li waved his hand, "Whether she can regain power is her business. I can cheer her from afar. As for whether she can stand up, it depends on her own ability."
Elruo said: "Since you don't plan to care, why did you tell her those stories?"
Gao Li spread his hands and said, "I told the story. Can it be done? It's hers, right?"
Elruo was stunned at first, then smiled and said, "Prince Gao, it's really a good plan. If you do this, it's okay to have nothing to do with you inside and outside."
Gao Li stretched out a finger and said, "At present, it has nothing to do with me."
Gao Li guessed that this matter must have involved the balance of power between the evil mother and several daughters. Although Gao Li didn't know the specific reason, he could not make any promises now.
Al Ruoru thought about it and said, "I understand, but I still want a correct word from the prince. Between the gods and people, can you really be impartial?"
Gao Li said: "To me, you are all aliens, and the war between you has nothing to do with me. As long as it does not affect my core interests, I will naturally be impartial."
Elruo said: "I feel relieved if you have your words from Prince. I sincerely hope that one day in the future, you can go to our world to see it."
Gao Li said: "So too."
The so-called high-level communication is like this without nutrition. Both sides have said a lot of nonsense, but it is basically a matter of principled general direction. What to do needs to be discussed below.
In fact, this time, the highlight of Yannan City is not here.
It is the first historic meeting between Prince Yanan and the emperor.
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the relationship with Yanan has been good. However, since the last time the Yanan people occupied Yanan City, the relationship between the two sides has cooled rapidly and has not had any official exchanges for fifty years. Especially after the Dugu family occupied Yanan City, the emperor completely closed the place and no longer had any exchanges.
But now, the emperor is here, and Yanan's two princes are here. The first official exchange between the two sides in fifty years is about to begin.
Gao Li had no expectation for this.
This scene seemed like a coincidental meeting, but it must be full of countless disputes and games behind it. Otherwise, it had been a long time since Tianhen opened, and the emperor could come from Shangjing, which was nearly two thousand miles away to Yannan. You Yanan people came here? Is it okay?
But no matter what transaction the two parties reach here, it will ultimately be achieved through Yannan City. As the only city leading to Yannan, Yannan's geographical location is too important, so important that nothing can be avoided.
But, can the emperor reach any effective negotiations with Yanan?
It's impossible.
The civil exchanges are cultural exchanges and economic trade exchanges. Yannan City has done a very good job in this regard. At this time, more than 25% of the people in Yannan City were Yannan people. Some of them do business here, and some simply buy real estate here to settle down. Due to historical reasons, the Yannan people are not opposed to the Yannan people, and there is a very good cultural foundation here. As for economic and trade exchanges, let alone, Yannan City, as the only entrance for Yannan to enter the Central Plains, has long monopolized the entire Yannan business of the Central Plains.
Therefore, Gao Li didn't expect anything because everything was under control.
but!
As the landlord here, it is Gao Li's responsibility to hold this talk well.
The good news is that Yannan’s sugarcane has entered the stage of harvesting.
At such a time period, why is sugarcane harvested? Because a large amount of cheap sugar will enter the food processing stage in Yannancheng.
And sugar will make people happy, and a pleasant mood will be brought into any negotiation.
After these sugarcane are harvested, the leaves will be peeled off and transported to the newly built processing plant by the field. Several juicers are ready here. At this time, Gao Li was really grateful to the vendors selling freshly squeezed sugarcane juice on the street in his previous life. Without them, Gao Li might not have been able to figure out the specific structure of this machine.
Two press rollers with grooves, a funnel for collecting sugarcane juice, plus some filters. Finally, there is a layer of cotton cloth, and these things will form a simple sugarcane juice processing machine. The collected sugarcane juice is sent to the sugar boiling pool on the spot, and there is a raging fire below. The dried sugarcane will be burned as fuel, realizing the stem of boiling beans and burning bean pods.
After removing the moisture, the simplest coarse sugar is harvested. In other words, it is brown sugar in the general sense. Gao Li did not master the process of further purification of brown sugar, because it involves a lot of chemical knowledge and his chemical reserves are limited. Therefore, he can only use activated carbon as much as possible to purify the brown sugar and improve the taste.
Then, these sugars will be made into two things, as well as chocolate.
But before that, the emperor and his party tasted these treasures first.
That night, Gao Li held a banquet to entertain the emperor. Fortunately, the fresh meat brought from Yanan ensured the richness of the dishes. However, in this venue, the emperor and the ministers around the emperor focused on two things.
Chocolate and soda.
There is no need to say much about chocolate. Even the richest wealthy rich in Shangjing may not be able to enjoy the top snacks. The price of ten times gold allows everyone who eats chocolate to experience the joy of tasting gold. But the most important thing is that this thing is in Shangjing, which is a quota-sale product. Because the output is very low, the quota that the Lizhuang flagship store in Shangjing can get is very limited every month. In order to meet the requirements of these thirsty rich people, all of these chocolates are implemented in a scheduled auction system. People who want chocolates every month must pay a deposit, and then participate in the auction in the flagship store. Finally, when they get it, the price may have multiples. But even so, there are still people in the black market to buy it at a high price. Of course, most people who buy these chocolates are not actually to satisfy their appetites, but have more uses.
For example, according to the laws of the current dynasty, the ministers' salaries could not afford these expensive snacks at all, but who did not order this thing?
However, now, these expensive snacks were wrapped in gold foil in front of the emperor and piled up a whole plate! Not only in front of the emperor, but also in front of the ministers in front of each person, there were four chocolate balls the size of walnuts in their plate. At this moment, these pillars of the country were thinking about how great it would be if they could bring these chocolates back and show off to their colleagues.
In the restaurant, the air conditioner continuously lowered the indoor temperature through the white sand of the ice technique, but many ministers had slight sweat beads on their foreheads. Some of them were excited and some were nervous, and the cups beside them were soda with bubbles constantly flying outwards.
Take a sip and a slight medicinal aroma plus a sweet and sour taste. Swallow it, and then a breath will flow out of your stomach, bringing a refreshing feeling.
Refreshing!
There is such a wonderful thing in this world!
