"Dad...what are you bringing..."

In the evening... Zhao Dezhu used a large cloth bag to pack ten bags of instant noodles, twenty oh-ho cans and five cans of beer that he gave him, and then brought them home and saw his father holding a large cloth bag.

Then the two children immediately surrounded him.

At this time, Zhao Dezhu's mother, who was busy in the kitchen, also hurriedly walked out and smiled: "Zhuzi is back..."

"Oh...!" Seeing his mother, Zhao Dezhu quickly replied happily: "Mom, come and have a look. These are some fresh things that the young master gave me, and they are all eaten. According to what the young master said, these foods are from other countries.

Very delicious, with candy cubes...!"

"Sugar cubes..."

A word of candy made the little three and four feel a little excited.

In ancient times, this sugar was very expensive and could be called a top luxury. Especially in island countries, in their ancient history and even in modern history, various sweet foods belonged to the ranks of luxury goods.

For example, in the Heian era of the island country, some noble women would particularly emphasize how many sugar-fried chestnuts were in their dowry when they were married, and a sweet food became a luxury for the island country nobles to compete with each other.

The ancient Europeans also had no good fortune. For a long time, the only thing they could use as dessert was honey. They did not develop their own sugar making technology and did not form a complete beekeeping technology. Just by collecting wild honey, you can imagine how rare the number of honey in Europe was and how expensive it was at that time.

Therefore, when medieval Europeans wrote their wills, they even wrote out how many buckets of honey were in their wills to prove their wealth.

Although the malt sugar technology was mature at this time in the Tang Dynasty, malt sugar has many disadvantages. It is not sweet with sugar, nor is it dry and easy to store, and it is easy to eat. Malt sugar is actually maltose, which sticks to teeth.

A businessman from India came to Datang. This guy specializes in selling a candy called Shimi. Why is it called Shimi? Because it is very similar to the candies nowadays. It is hard and like a stone, but it is very sweet, but it slowly melts in your mouth.

Before the Tang Dynasty, in the north where sugarcane was not produced, people had to rely on foreign missions and Western Hu merchants who came from afar along the Silk Road.

The "Xiji Stone Honey" they brought was produced in the Western Regions. It is dry cake-shaped due to its superb dehydration. It is not only easy to carry and store, but also has better taste and quality than the crude sugarcane in the south.

According to historical records, Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pi once presented 5 cakes of "Western Stone Honey" to Emperor Sun Quan of Wu with the intention of showing off, and claimed that even the fresh fruits such as longan lychees in the south were not as good as the taste of this Western Stone Honey.

Compared with the southern cane oats that are "strong on the outside and dry on the inside", the cake-shaped Western Region stone honey is of course more like "stone", but it does not always maintain a solid stone cake form.

During the transportation process along the Silk Road, this kind of stone honey is sometimes smashed, and the crushed powder looks like sand and soil, so it is also called "sand sugar", but this choked sugar powder is not the same as the crystalline sand sugar later.

Our Tiankhan Li Shimin likes Shimi very much, but even Li Shimin dared not do whatever he wants when he eats Shimi. It's nothing else. The price is too expensive. After all, he came from the Silk Road, so it's hard not to be expensive.

Later, because the price of stone honey was expensive, Li Shimin also ordered someone to go to India to learn sugar making. However, it took twelve years to learn it, and it was not until Emperor Gaozong of Tang that he had the art of sugar making.

Because of this, the candy cubes in Chang'an are really expensive at this time.

"Dad... Let's take a look at the candy...!"

The mistress and the little 4 looked at Zhao Dezhu excitedly, while Zhao Dezhu looked at his two sons with a doting look and said, "Okay...Okay... Today we not only want to see, but also eat..."

After saying that, his hand reached into the cloth bag, took out three oh-so-greased milk candies from it, and handed them to the mistress, Xiaosi and his mother's hands.

"Wow...!"

When the little three and Xiaosi and Zhao Dezhu's mother tore the paper on the oh-soaked milk candy, the milky white milk candy made the three of them look surprised.

"Eat all... don't worry, as long as we work hard for the young master, the young master will definitely reward him..."

With Zhao Dezhu's encouragement.

Mid-san and Xiao Si couldn't wait to put the milky white milk candy into their mouths. As soon as they licked it... the rich milky aroma and the new sweet taste almost made Mid-san and Xiao Si scream.

"It's delicious...Dad, this milk candy is really delicious, it's the sweetest thing I've ever eaten..." Xiaosan sighed repeatedly.

"The third brother is right, daddy is so awesome." Xiao Si also shouted happily.

However, Zhao Dezhu smiled and shook his head: "Wrong... It's not that my father is powerful, but that my son is kind. Remember, you must use all your loyalty to the young master in the future... Do you understand..."

"I understand...Dad..." Xiaosan and Xiaosi quickly answered.

"Mom...you eat too..." Zhao Dezhu looked at his mother.

However, Zhao Dezhu's mother took out the milk candy and said, "One of us is half...!"

Knowing that my mother was frugal and felt sorry for her, Zhao Dezhu also agreed. Half of the milk candy for each person was still very sweet, which was sweet to Zhao Dezhu and his mother.

After eating the milk candy, Zhao Dezhu smiled and said, "Okay... Now we go to boil water, I want to make a pack of noodles for you to eat..."

"Soak a pack of noodles?"

The little third and Xiaosi and Zhao Dezhu's mother didn't know what Zhao Dezhu meant, but since Zhao Dezhu said, he would do the same. Xiaosi quickly went to boil water.

After a while, the water will be ready.

Zhao Dezhu smiled and took out a big bowl, then took out the lucky instant noodles: "This is the instant noodles rewarded by the young master. It is said to be delicious, and you can eat it as long as you soak it in water."

"There are also things you can eat with water?" The three of them were surprised.

Then the three of them watched Zhao Dezhu's operation carefully, took out the dough cake, put it into a bowl, added two packs of ingredients, and then injected boiling water, which would have been enough to cover the dough cake.

Finally, cover a lid and wait for three minutes.

"Dad...what is three minutes?"

No one understood this for three minutes. Li You said he was bald. When his son asked, Zhao Dezhu was slightly confused: "I don't know either, maybe it's time,

But I don’t know how long it will take. Let’s wait a little longer...!"

About seven or eight minutes later, Zhao Dezhu opened the lid on the bowl and a seductive fragrance floated out of the bowl. Zhao Dezhu mixed it with chopsticks in the bowl.

A bowl of noodles appeared.

"Wow... it has really turned into noodles, and it tastes so fragrant..." said the mistress in surprise.

"Do you want to eat..." Zhao Dezhu laughed: "Let's eat together..."

A bowl of instant noodles shocked Zhao Dezhu's family. Why... Because it was so delicious, there was no MSG in ancient times. I could eat this bowl of instant noodles full of MSG, which really surprised everyone's taste buds.

No one expected that instant noodles would rise to rise in the ancient capital Chang'an from tonight.
