Chapter 9: Levelless Flattery
You'an was not embarrassed at all. Instead, he looked at poor Wang Li with a look that said, "You're so squeamish." "Of course they all like it."

Then I finished the sweet portion and added another portion of salty tofu pudding.

"Little Marquis, you are still growing up, so don't be picky about your food~"

Wang Li was already very angry. Before he could refute, his face turned red from holding back, but he heard that she was not done yet.

"But Marquis Wu Cheng and Your Majesty have long passed the age where they don't know how to restrain themselves. Although they cannot indulge their appetites, these things are not harmful to the body, but are beneficial to them. You can do whatever you want."

Wang Li's eyes widened and he couldn't believe that there was such a shameless messenger.

The first sentence stepped on him, and the second sentence immediately praised His Majesty and his great father without any guilt.

Wang Jian was amused by her. He looked at his silly grandson dissatisfied and still couldn't calm down.

"With the words of the divine messenger, I can eat freely. It's rare for me to be at this age, so I won't treat myself harshly when it comes to food."

Ying Zheng also felt that the Divine Envoy was more like a pampered and confident little girl. She was very talkative, but she didn't have any bad intentions.

"The envoy just said this thing is good for the body?"

You'an was helpless. Every time His Majesty the First Emperor focused on key points, he always focused on his character.

"As long as the food is not poisonous, eating it in a certain amount is always good for the body."

Without giving him a chance, for fear that she would reveal the benefits of some tofu, Ying Zheng would give her a meal of tofu. No one's body could bear this.

Wang Li was calmed down by his father's glance, and he followed the whole process, knowing that the food he made was not only delicious.

"Angel, the food you made seems to be much more than what you brewed last night?"

Wang Li's words instantly attracted the attention of everyone present, and Ying Zheng immediately understood what he meant. He arrived late and did not see the previous production process, so naturally he did not know the gap between the raw materials and the finished product.

You An thought that Wang Li was not really brainless and could see things with his eyes. She didn't need any more pretentious reminders. "Well, when making old tofu, one pound of bean curd can produce more than two pounds. If the skill is improved, tender tofu can be produced." Maybe five pounds."

Following her words, even Wang Jian and others' eyes became surprised. They looked at Doufu, who was still pressed down, with soft eyes, gentler than looking at their eldest grandson.

They believe that the divine messenger will not talk nonsense, but seeing is believing, and it does not take long, just a few hours.

"Are they so excited?" Liuhe felt that they were more excited than tasting the beancurd with their own mouths.

You'an didn't stop the spoon that Mr. Shi had picked up for her in her hand, and continued to stuff it into her mouth. She was also getting older.

"Naturally, they are still in the pragmatic stage now."

The deliciousness is just the icing on the cake.

Thinking of Mr. Shi, Youan glanced at the group of people who had reduced their presence since Ying Zheng came over. She thought that the Mo family would take the opportunity to get involved.

But she thought too narrowly. The Mo family is a stubborn person. They have never experienced the dominance of their rival family. Even if they are anxious to show the usefulness of their own theory, they will not use her credit to flatter them.

The little old man was so proud that his wife would crush her bones when she saw him taking the little girl's credit.

Then, You'an finally saw what it means to be pragmatic. Ying Zheng would not keep an eye on him all the time, but he also sent a sergeant to stand straight to the side, staring at the pressed tofu with burning eyes, as if he was scouting the enemy.Wang Li, an idler, followed closely, fearing that someone would steal it, but it was convenient for You'an to bake the roundworms there.

"Aunt Shi's hands are so skillful, I can't make this up." You'an sighed sincerely, people nowadays are so skilled in crafts, they don't have much concept of buying and selling, they all rely on self-sufficiency.

Shi Lao and Mr. Shi were by her side, slapping her from time to time. She didn't feel proud when she heard this, it was just a little bit of life skill that ordinary children would know.

"I can only use my strength. The girl's mind is very clever. She can actually design the rice into what it is now. It is also suitable for pounding rice."

Only a strong man like Shi Lao could think of using a stone mill to remove the shell. Others don't have the strength.

Nowadays, rice pounding in the Qin Dynasty is not the threshing machine of future generations. It is a laborious job to pound rice for several people in the family every day. Using a cylindrical wooden stick to pound the rice will make your hands sore.

You'an had some thoughts running through his mind, his face was expressionless, and he slowly baked the medicinal materials without any fuss about Mr. Shi's arrangements. "Aunt Shi is so kind. I also want to make something for fun. Isn't it too troublesome?" Mr. Shi?"

Mr. Shi:?
It's a bit weird, why don't you tell me directly, isn't I standing here?

"Of course." Shi Lao didn't go around too much and agreed, "If you need anything, girl, just ask. You're welcome."

Mr. Shi received the gesture from his old wife's eyes and resisted inwardly, but he was very sincere on his face and asked, "What do you want to do, young lady?"

You'an squatted down without hesitation, and the old man and the young man began to communicate on the ground again.

What you need to do is very simple, a simple cross-timber structure similar to a seesaw. Step on one end, put a hammer on the other end, and bang it down. It doesn't matter how advanced it is, but it is always easier to step on it than to pound it with your hands.

This is easier to do. When Shi Laozhang saw the new thing, he was so unconvinced that he was dissatisfied. He didn't need to wait for long, so he took out the tools and started working on it.

For a moment, the discordant sound of craftsmanship was heard in the courtyard where the tofu was being formed quietly. Others only glanced at it secretly, maybe a little more frequently. Wang Li did not regard himself as an outsider at all and walked over directly. , eyes looking forward to it.

I made a stone mill yesterday, but now I don't know what kind of useful thing I can make.

"God's envoy..."

You'an had a disgusted look on his face. He didn't know why he was holding back. He said disgustedly: "Speak directly if you have something to say, don't be disgusting."

"..." Wang Li was choked heavily, "God, the food made by the stone mill is really delicious. There has never been such a novel thing in the Qin Dynasty. I want to show off the magic of God to the heads of Guizhou in Chang'an Township. Is it okay?"

You'an stared at him with a half-smile but said nothing, which made his heart sink. Shi Lao beside him was also a little disappointed.

"Wang Li, your words really don't sound like you." Are you still a kid?I have never heard him be so polite before, and I knew I wanted something from him as soon as I heard it.

Wang Li was afraid that he didn't ask for help very much, and even a few more words would give people goosebumps.

"It's not that difficult. You can figure it out after just one look. Do you still need me to teach you?"

Wang Li was stunned for a moment, then he was ecstatic when he realized it. He grinned to the back of his head, "Thank you so much, Envoy. I don't need the Envoy to teach you personally. Envoy, you are really kind-hearted, generous and beautiful..."

You'an tilted her head. This flattery was really poor, and she wasn't very happy to hear it.

Only Shi Lao finally reacted, God's envoy?
She cast her eyes on the well-behaved and smart little girl, making sure she heard correctly. So the messenger was real?
