The Great Grandson of the Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the slaughter of General Tiance's mans

Chapter 397 Chicken Essence Becomes Soup

Li Chengdao then inspected the other departments of the Smelting Bureau. Under Xu Mo's management, everything was satisfactory, and the profits were increasing, so he returned to the palace satisfied.

He sat down in the royal study and took out the can of chicken essence. People depended on food. This thing would undoubtedly bring a lot of income to the Tang Dynasty.

After thinking about it, I decided to separate the production of chicken essence from the Smelting and Manufacturing Bureau to prevent those who took the profits and became blinded by the money and forgot the main mission of the Smelting and Manufacturing Bureau.

"Somebody come!"

Upon hearing the call, the eunuch Gao Huai quickly bowed and entered.

"His Majesty!"

Li Chengdao pointed to the chicken essence and said: "Tell the imperial chef that this is a new seasoning that I created, and order the imperial chef to use this to prepare a meal for my mother today."

"Yes!"

Gao Huai held the chicken essence in his hands like a treasure and hurried to the imperial dining room. He knew that this room was for the exclusive use of the Queen Mother.

Li Chengdao thought about it for a moment. Although he had many powerful generals around him and many talented people in governing the country, he could not think of a suitable person to specialize in the production of chicken essence.

Those good ministers either don't have anything to do, or they simply don't know how to manage in a factory.

After all, operating chicken essence is just the beginning. In the future, a large number of production and management talents will have to be doubled to transform Datang into a major manufacturing country.

Youshi.

Li Chengdao was reviewing memorials and taking care of everything, when Gao Huai hurried in with a look of panic on his face.

"Your Majesty! Something is seriously wrong with Your Majesty!"

Li Chengdao raised his eyes and said in a deep voice: "You have been with me for so long, how can you be so frightened when something happens?"

"Your Majesty... everything is in chaos..."

"With me sitting here, how can the sky be stepped down?"

"No, no! The harem is in chaos!"

Li Chengdao looked surprised. He managed his wife well and there had never been any palace fights in the harem, so why was it so chaotic?

If the world is in chaos, it's easy to talk about it, but if the harem is in chaos, it's not easy to talk about it, and the consequences will be quite serious.

Li Chengdao put down the memorial and took Gao Huai straight to the harem.

In the Queen Mother's Palace, noises and screams could be heard from afar. Several bewildered chefs and eunuchs stood at the entrance of the palace, constantly stretching out their hands to wipe sweat.

Seeing Li Chengdao coming in a jade chariot, he hurriedly said: "I have met your Majesty, long live your Majesty..."

"Stand up with me, what happened?"

The deacon and eunuch in the imperial kitchen quickly replied: "The chicken essence sent by your majesty was said to be only for the Queen Mother, but the empress came to the kitchen and snatched the chicken essence away. The servants were so frightened that they had to come here to complain!"

When Li Chengdao heard this, he immediately guessed what was going on.

It's just that it's difficult for the imperial chef. How can he supply the Queen Mother without chicken essence in the future?

Li Chengdao entered the palace alone with a dark face.

"See Your Majesty!"

Seeing the emperor arriving, the eunuchs and maids in the palace quickly knelt down to greet him.

The main hall fell silent instantly.

Li Chengdao glanced at the palace. Queen Mother Zheng Guanyin was sitting impatiently, and next to her were several of his beloved concubines who were arguing fiercely.

Girls who are virtuous and virtuous actually rolled up their sleeves and went into battle for trivial matters.

"Your Majesty! I heard that your Majesty created a new seasoning. I went to the imperial kitchen to get it myself, but all the sisters are coming to snatch it. Please let me make the decision!"

When Huyanrena saw Li Chengdao, she quickly complained. She looked aggrieved and felt pity for him, holding the can of chicken essence tightly in her hand.

Just because of this quarrel, Li Chengdao was also confused. These girls really know how to cause trouble.

"Mother! How was today's food?"

Li Chengdao didn't care about Huyanrena at all and asked Zheng Guanyin. “How pitiful is the genius of Jian Chengdao that he has created such a unique seasoning, the taste of which I have never dreamed of!”

"How is the queen's anorexia now?"

"Look, I've finished all the food I served today. If I have this chicken essence in the future, I won't have this anorexia anymore."

Li Chengdao glanced at the leftovers on the table and nodded. It seemed that she had eaten them all.

"Today's dish is extremely delicious. I don't want to eat it all myself, so I called some of your concubines. Unexpectedly..."

Naturally, this is understandable. As soon as the concubines came and tasted the food, they immediately went to the imperial kitchen and even snatched the whole chicken essence.

I'm afraid that even the queen mother won't be able to stop drinking it, and she wants to take it to her palace and taste it slowly.

They are simply a group of foodies.

Huyanrena had grown up in a place like Tubo that didn't pay much attention to food. When she tasted the chicken essence, she couldn't control herself. It was simply a heavenly delicacy. She was so shocked that she went straight to the imperial kitchen.

"His Majesty!"

Concubine Zheng paid tribute and said: "I have been feeling bored this month, so I tasted the dishes prepared by my mother. They are just right for my taste. Please give me some chicken essence."

"His Majesty!"

"His Majesty!"

Seeing Concubine Zheng begging for chicken essence, the others were not willing to be outdone and asked for it one after another.

It's time to quarrel again.

It is difficult for an upright official to deal with household matters, so the queen mother could only advise her when it came to this kind of thing, so she might as well just deal with it.

Li Chengdao said coldly: "This is a special gift for the queen mother. No one is allowed to snatch it. If it is mass-produced in the future, everyone will have a share."

After speaking, he stretched out his hand, took the chicken essence bottle from Huyanrena's hand, and handed it to Gao Huai behind him.

Huyanrena pouted her lips, and naturally she did not dare to disobey His Majesty, so she just muttered angrily.

"Your Majesty, when will this chicken essence be produced in large quantities?"

"We can't wait! After eating this dish today, I can't eat anything else."

"That's right! I won't eat without chicken essence from now on!"

A group of foodies are full of eloquence. If this continues, it will be difficult to deal with the coquettish and angry people.

"Stop arguing!" Li Chengdao's tone was angry, and the concubines covered their mouths and backed away.

When Li Chengdao was really angry, it was extraordinary, and no one dared to contradict him.

"Look at you, how are you still like Huide Tianxia? You have completely lost your past image because of a little chicken essence."

Zheng Guanyin didn't want Li Chengdao to go too far. This was a family matter after all, so he changed the topic and said, "This chicken essence is indeed a good thing, a shocking miracle, but the royal family should also enjoy it with the world. I think you have some ideas too!"

"Exactly! I'm just planning to hold a Thousand Old Man Banquet. I wonder what my mother's idea is?"

Zheng Guanyin smiled and said: "My son has his own opinion. This is a grand event that is rare in a century. I will personally host the event for your majesty! Witness the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and let the world see your majesty's talent. This is a great influence on the court. There are also benefits to cohesion.”

Although Zheng Guanyin is deep in the harem, she also has a clear understanding of the general situation.

This kind of banquet is invited by the royal family and can be called a private banquet. If it is private, Zheng Guanyin is the most powerful person in the Tang Dynasty Palace, so she will naturally host it.

Having been with Li Chengdao for a long time, Zheng Guanyin also knew Li Chengdao's tricks. He wanted to use this banquet to promote chicken essence and earn income for the court.

His Majesty always thinks about the Tang Dynasty. Zheng Guanyin is very happy. There is no such son in the world.

We can't do too much to these concubines. Women, don't they just pay attention to their food?

The palace maid was ordered to find a small bottle and give each person a little bit from the chicken essence jar.

All the concubines expressed their gratitude and flattery, and returned to the palace as if they were treasures.

Only after Changsun Yunlu got the chicken essence, he secretly divided some of it and sent it to Changsun's family. He couldn't bear to eat the rest and only used it to reward meritorious servants.
