Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 457 Ice Cream (2)

They naturally don't know what ice cream is, after all, it will take hundreds of years for this ice cream to appear.

The current Tang Dynasty will never exist, let alone seen it, or even heard of it.

It is said that ice cream originated in the Yuan Dynasty of China.

During the Yuan Dynasty, a shrewd food store businessman had a whim, and he added some honey, milk and pearl powder to the ice. As a result, he made the earliest ice cream in the world.

Later, in the 13th century, the method of making ice cream was brought back to Italy by the world-famous Italian explorer Marco Polo.

From then on, ice cream was introduced into Europe, in the 15th century, it was introduced into the French royal family from Italy, in the 16th century it was introduced into England, and in the 17th century it was introduced into the American continent.

Finally, with the widespread application of electricity and refrigeration, the production process of ice cream was accelerated, which reduced the cost, thus greatly reducing the price.

Since then, ice cream has become a popular summer food, no longer a delicacy that only the upper class can eat.

Naturally, Li Chengqian would not tell them, nor could he explain them.

"I said, you do it, understand?" Li Chengqian said.

"Understood!" The cooks said in unison.

"Okay, first of all, you first break the eggs in a bowl, but you must separate the egg whites from the yolks, just beat four eggs." Li Chengqian first told them the first step.

For the matter of beating eggs, these cooks have beaten them hundreds of times to separate the yolk from the egg white. For them, it is simply a piece of cake, not worth mentioning.

After breaking the eggs and separating the yolks and whites, they waited for Li Chengqian's next instruction.

"Next, pour the sugar into the egg yolk, don't pour too much, just a small teaspoon, and then stir well, stop if I tell you to stop, let's start now!" Li Chengqian said.

Li Chengqian wanted to tell them that it is enough to stir in one direction for 5 minutes, but the ancient time is different from the modern one.

One hour in modern times was half an hour in ancient times.

In modern times, time is divided into 24 hours, and in ancient times, time is divided into twelve hours.

Tell them 5 minutes, they don't know how long it is, so he, the emperor, has to grasp the time.

Let's start with Li Chengqian's words!The imperial chefs immediately poured a spoonful of sugar into the egg yolk, picked up their chopsticks and started stirring. They would not stop until Li Chengqian called to stop.

Under the stirring of the royal chefs, the chopsticks collided with each other, producing a crisp sound, which resounded in this quiet hall.

Li Chengqian silently counted the time in his heart, and after 5 minutes, he would let them stop.

"Go and boil the milk, you guys will use it later." While calculating the time in his mind, Li Chengqian asked someone to boil the milk.

After the egg yolk and sugar are stirred, the boiled milk will come in handy.

The maid hurriedly took down the milk and boiled it according to Li Chengqian's instructions.

"Okay! Stop!" As soon as the time was up, Li Chengqian immediately shouted to stop, and the chef stopped what he was doing, and then waited for the milk to boil and serve.

After a few more minutes, the milk was boiled and brought up and placed on the table.

Looking at the steaming milk, Li Chengqian said: "Go get a small stove, put it on the table, and get a small pot."

Someone immediately went to do it, and brought the small stove and small pot and put them on the table.

"Now, pour the boiled milk into the custard that has been stirred. Use low heat and keep the temperature at 70 degrees. Don't boil it, and keep stirring." Li Chengqian continued to instruct the next step.

The imperial cook hurriedly poured the milk into the custard, the maid stepped forward and poured charcoal into the small stove, lit the charcoal fire, put the small pot on it, the imperial chef poured the custard with milk into the pot, and continued to stir according to Li Chengqian's instructions .

"Okay! Take out the pot and put it in the ice cream." When the stirring was almost done, Li Chengqian ordered again.

The imperial chefs hurriedly stopped stirring, wrapped the handle of the pot with a cloth, poured the contents into a bowl, and removed the stove and pot.

Put the ice cream in the ice cream to freeze, and Li Chengqian asked them to take it out from time to time and keep stirring until it was done.

Finally, the ice cream was finally finished. Li Chengqian took a sip and tasted pretty good. It would be even better if some fruits could be added in it.

"When you go back, follow the method I taught you to make, and make a few more points for the queen and the others. You can also put some fruits, pearls, etc. in it, and it can be changed into different flavors." Li Chengqian ate ice cream , while saying.

"I understand! I will go back and make different flavors and send them to your majesty, empress, and noble concubines." Shangshi Fengyu hurriedly saluted.

"Well! Go!" Li Chengqian said.

Shangshi Fengyu took the royal chefs to bow and leave, and immediately went back to the work of making ice cream.

"Order someone to send the ice mirror to them. How can I make ice cream without ice? In the future, I will allow them to take ice as I like when I make ice cream." Li Chengqian said.

Ice is a very precious thing in this era, especially in summer. The ice stored in the palace is limited after all. The supply of ice to the harem is limited on weekdays. Whoever uses how many ice cubes has a certain amount, and cannot exceed too much.

Even the queen is limited in supply and cannot be used openly, except for the emperor, of course.

"Your maidservant understands! I'll give you an order now." Wang Quan responded, calling for someone to send Bingjian to Shangshi Bureau.

Since then, in terms of using ice cubes, there has been an additional food preference.

……

In Cuiwei Palace, Li Chengqian lived a comfortable life for a few days without caring about government affairs. Anyway, the crown prince was in charge of the state in Chang'an, and the crown prince was able to deal with ordinary trivial matters, unless it was something so big that he had to be the emperor. It cannot be solved.

Today, the Liaodong Peninsula has been completely incorporated into the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Anyone who is likely to resist the Tang Dynasty and has prestige in the Liaodong Peninsula has been invited into Chang'an, where they can be taken care of and live a life of luxury.

The Liaodong Peninsula is peaceful now, and under the superior policies of the Tang Dynasty, the residents of the Liaodong Peninsula are completely convinced by the Tang Dynasty.

In the northwest, Tuyuhun has recovered the whole territory, and Tubo has retreated. Within a hundred years, there is no strength to take a step out of Tubo.

The Silk Road in the Western Regions was opened again, and those forces that resisted the Tang Dynasty were also wiped out under the encirclement and suppression of the Tang army.

After the six edicts in the south retreated from Tubo, the Tang army took the opportunity to attack and destroy the other five edicts except the Mengshe edict, and established a state capital there. The imperial court appointed Han officials as governors for a three-year term.

Datang has entered an era of cessation of war and recuperation.

Apart from playing, Li Chengqian is now committed to economic development and world trade.

In July of the same year, a large number of large ships launched into the sea, opened the Maritime Silk Road, and sold Datang's products overseas.
