Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 477
Changsun Wuji was very annoyed by Gao Ming's act of selling out, but he was more helpless.

After getting along for such a long time, Changsun Wuji knows very well that what is hidden under Gao Ming's gentle appearance is a true face that is more fleshy than Cheng Yaojin.

Therefore, in order to avoid too much damage to himself, he had no choice but to back down.

Of course Gao Ming also saw Changsun Wuji's helplessness, but Gao Ming didn't care about it, his mind was all on the brown sugar that was being boiled in the kitchen.

At this moment, he had only one thought, and that was to boil sugar!
Boil a pot of good brown sugar!

After finishing the slaked lime, Gao Ming took the small pot of slaked lime into the kitchen, and then directly scooped a spoonful into the sugarcane juice in the pot.

Seeing this scene, Changsun Wuji widened his eyes again.

"This... can this thing be eaten?"

Seeing Changsun Wuji's surprised face, Gao Ming couldn't help laughing immediately.

"Haha, of course you can eat it, and if you don't add lime, the brown sugar won't come out."

It seemed to be responding to Gao Ming's words. As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, the color of the cane juice in the pot changed, and another layer of foam formed.

Seeing this scene, the maid standing next to Gao Ming quickly waved the spoon in her hand to scoop off all the floating foam. The movements were skillful and fast, and Gao Ming nodded repeatedly.

Gao Ming raised his hand towards the maid when there was no more foam in the pot.

"Okay, this pot of sugar water can be changed to the pot next to it, and boil it again in this pot!"

"Yes!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, the servants and maidservants in the kitchen worked together to pour the cane juice that had skimmed off the froth into the pot next to it, and then poured four barrels of freshly squeezed cane juice into the original pot.

At this time, Gao Ming gave orders to them again.

"This pot is the same as before. Skim off the froth first, then add a spoonful of lime into it. After processing, pour it into this pot. When this pot is full, call me. In addition, the two pots Fire can't be put out, remember?"

"Yes!"

Now that they have all known Gao Ming's identity, they naturally keep in mind what Gao Ming said, and they dare not be careless.

Seeing the seriousness of the two, Gao Ming nodded.

"Well, then I'll leave this place to you, I'll be outside, come out and let me know if there's any situation!"

After finishing speaking, Gao Ming went out, found a chair and sat under the big tree outside the kitchen.

Seeing this scene, the corners of Changsun Wuji's mouth immediately turned up.

"It seems that the prince is very serious about this brown sugar, so I'll wait too!"

Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji immediately sent someone to bring snacks and tea, and then sat next to Gao Ming to accompany him.

Seeing Changsun Wuji sitting down next to him, Gao Ming laughed.

"Uncle, I'm going to sit here until the sun goes down. You'd better go and do your own business instead of wasting time with me!"

"Sit till the sun goes down?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Changsun Wuji immediately looked up at the noon sun, and then showed a puzzled face.

"His Royal Highness, it is still noon, and there are at least three or four hours before the sun sets!"

"I know!"

As soon as Changsun Wuji finished speaking, Gao Ming nodded with a smile.

"It takes almost this long to cook the brown sugar, so you don't have to wait with me!"

Speaking of this, Gao Ming raised his chin towards the servant behind him.

"Shi Shu, you go back to the East Palace now, and tell the Crown Princess that I won't go back until dark, so she doesn't have to worry!"

"Yes!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Shi Shu nodded and left.

Seeing the servant left, Changsun Wuji immediately understood that Gao Ming was not joking, so he immediately bowed to Gao Ming.

"The old minister understands. The old minister still needs to write an excerpt and present it to His Majesty when he comes back. Then I will trouble His Royal Highness here!"

Seeing his polite look, Gao Ming smiled and waved at him.

"Uncle, you're welcome. Lizhi is my younger sister. It's right to do something for her. Besides, no one else in Tang Dynasty knows how to cook sugar except me. If I don't do it, no one will do it. You Go and do your work, leave it to me!"

After finishing speaking, Gao Ming leaned back on the chair and began to close his eyes to rest his mind.

Seeing this scene, Changsun Wuji's eyes flashed with astonishment, he bowed to Gao Ming again, then turned and left.

After Changsun Wuji's footsteps gradually receded, Gao Ming who was closing his eyes and resting his mind suddenly opened his eyes, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Public and private are clearly distinguished, not bad!"

Speaking of this, Gao Ming picked up a piece of snack and put it in his mouth, but turned his eyes to the kitchen next to him, and muttered to himself.

"All that's left is to wait!"

Gao Ming knows very well that making brown sugar is not only a technical job, but also a physical job.

Half an hour later, when the sweaty maid came to tell Gao Ming that the sugar pot was full, he immediately felt grateful for his status as the prince.

"This is the benefit of privilege, otherwise I would be the one sweating profusely at this time!"

While feeling emotional, Gao Ming followed the maid into the kitchen.

After entering the kitchen, Gao Ming found that the sugar pot was indeed full, so he immediately divided half of the sugar cane juice into the side pot, and then picked up a spoon to stir in the pot.

While stirring, he opened his mouth to the maid next to him.

"See if you stir like me, come on, try it!"

"Yes!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, the servant girl standing beside him suddenly stepped forward to take the spoon from Gao Ming's hand with a look of excitement, and then began to stir in the sugar pot.

Gao Ming stood next to her, carefully guiding her how to stir it up, and he nodded his head when she was doing well.

"Yes, that's it. You stir the sugar water in the pot like you are doing now. Both pots need to be stirred like this. When the sugar water inside is no longer tumbling, but is bubbling, you come tell me!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, the maid who was stirring the sugar water nodded quickly.

"The servant girl knows, please rest assured, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Seeing her serious look, Gao Ming also showed a satisfied smile on his face.

"Just know it, and do it well. If you can learn this skill of making sugar, you will not only be rich, but at least you will be able to afford food and clothing!"

As the prince of the Tang Dynasty, Gao Ming's words were quite convincing, so the moment his words fell, the little maid who was cooking sugar immediately put down the spoon in her hand and knelt down towards him.

"My maid, Xiaolu, thank you for your kindness!"

Looking at the grateful little maid, Gao Ming suddenly smiled, and stretched out his hand to help her up.

"If you are grateful, don't say it. If you really want to thank me, just boil these two pots of sugar for me seriously!"

After finishing speaking, Gao Ming picked up the spoon on the stove and handed it to her, and then went out with his hands behind his back.

Seeing the back of Gao Ming leaving, Xiaolu immediately clenched the spoon in her hand, and then nodded heavily.

"Yes, His Royal Highness!"
