Emperor of the Tang Dynasty

So Yuan Tiangang is selling iron by smashing the pot, and he also wants to follow Li You!

Chapter 33 Open the door to a new world

To be honest, Yuan Tiangang's sudden enthusiasm scared Li You a bit.

It is not unusual to enshrine this kind of thing, just like Master Duan brought by Li Chengqian before, but to be honest, its status is still far inferior to that of a fourth-rank official.

So what is Yuan Tiangang's picture?

Seeing that Li You was still thinking, Yuan Tiangang was anxious.

"If Your Highness still thinks this condition is not good," Yuan Tiangang gritted his teeth, "Then any property and income after the poor road, as long as His Highness speaks... No, no, His Highness does not need to speak, it is also His Highness! Although His Highness may not look down on it. , but it is also a little bit of the poor way!"

After all, money is something outside the body. In Yuan Tiangang's heart, compared with the opportunities he can get, it is not worth mentioning at all.

"No need, no need," Li You had no choice but to wave his hand and said, "No need to resign as an official, you can come to the Chu Palace as an offering."

Yuan Tiangang was immediately overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Highness! Pindao will go to the mansion to find you tomorrow!"

Li You twitched his horns and left with Xiao Zhu.

As soon as he walked to the Chu Palace, Li You received a new system prompt: "Congratulations to the master for having received Yuan Tiangang's respect! Hereby, a 2-star lottery will be awarded!"

Li You: "..."

"I haven't done anything yet, why did I suddenly revere?!"

……

Early the next morning, Li You asked someone to get a lot of crock pots, ready to start refining alkali.

Among those materials that Li You brought yesterday, the chemical name of Glauber's salt is sodium sulfate decahydrate, while soda ash is trona, which is hydrated sodium bicarbonate. The main component of lime is calcium oxide, of which Glauber's salt can be used to make soda ash and sulfuric acid. Soda ash can also be made from soda ash.

Even if Li You emptied Yuan Tiangang's alchemy room, he didn't get a lot of materials, but fortunately, these only needed to be added to the flour to be useful, and the amount required by itself was not large.

After the alkali stone, Glauber's salt, and lime were all ready, Li You quickly found out the specific steps from his memories based on his unforgettable memories, and successfully refined and synthesized some caustic soda.

Because caustic soda is best synthesized, and Li You's meticulousness can ensure that even the most detailed parts will never go wrong, so the quality is very good.These caustic soda can be very useful. For example, if Li You needs to make soap or paper in the future, he will need caustic soda!

After having caustic soda, soda ash, sulfuric acid, and the last baking soda, Li You successfully completed the manufacture.This baking soda is exactly the food additive that Li You needs. With this, it can be said that you are done!

At this time, Yuan Tiangang also came. He looked at the earthen pot in front of Li You curiously: "Is this the delicious food that Your Highness wants to make?"

"This can't be eaten directly," Li You shook his head and said, "but I'm going to add the baking soda in it to the flour, and the steamed buns and steamed buns will taste much better."

"baking soda?"

Yuan Tiangang had a bewildered look on his face. He thought he was a scholar of heaven and man, but he had never heard of it.

Li You shook his head and stopped explaining. In his opinion, there is no need to explain these chemical knowledge to the ancients, and if no one understands it, the secret of the formula can be better guaranteed.

However, Li You's expression still made Yuan Tiangang feel deeply hurt. It felt like he was being despised because of his ignorance!

"His Royal Highness is really mysterious and unpredictable. In the refining process, he actually has knowledge that the poor people don't know!" Yuan Tiangang could only be secretly shocked.

As for Li You's statement that adding it to the flour can make it delicious, Yuan Tiangang is dubious.

Because common sense told him that the medicinal pills made from these materials were all unpalatable, and the only way to add it to the flour was to make it more unpalatable.

But since this was said by Li You, in Yuan Tiangang's eyes, he automatically added the aura of "what a sage says can't be wrong". After all, how could someone with such an invincible fate say the wrong thing and do the wrong thing? ?

Therefore, the two different concepts kept colliding in Yuan Tiangang's mind, making Yuan Tiangang extremely tangled.

When Yuan Tiangang was tangled, Li You had already picked up the flour and water prepared in advance, mixed them and started stirring.

"His Royal Highness!" Xiao Zhu and the rest of the servants were shocked when they saw this, "You shouldn't do it yourself, let us do it!"

"Go away, this king is happy."

Li You was very annoyed when he heard these matters of etiquette, and it was just at this time that he could also be a part-time slut, and immediately scared people to dare not say anything more.

After gao decided everything, Li You added honey to it to ensure that it would be sweet and delicious.

"Your Highness, is this done?" Yuan Tiangang asked.

Li You shook his head and said, "I have to wait an hour or so, because I need to make a face."

Yuan Tiangang was a little surprised: "Your Highness, where did you learn these things? Why do you seem to be quite proficient in cooking?"

In Yuan Tiangang's view, this is simply incredible, because someone with a noble status like a prince should have never been exposed to this kind of thing since he was a child.

"Just look at it and you'll learn." Of course, Li You casually perfunctory.

In Li You's expectation and Yuan Tiangang's curiosity, an hour passed quickly. Li You made up the temporarily set up stove and steamer and put them in one by one.

This scene made the servants of the Chu Palace tremble. If they were seen by others, would they be punished for the crime of not discouraging the Chu King?

"It's all optimistic," Li You was still talking, "I'll have you all to do it in the future, remember the steps and time."

This time, people were greatly relieved. It didn't take long for Li You's new-style Datang steamed buns to be freshly released!

"Master Yuan, try it."

Li You was the first to invite Yuan Tiangang, Yuan Tiangang looked at these white and fat steamed buns in surprise, looking very gratifying.

"It's not huang-colored? And it looks fluffy and soft, and it looks very clean. This excellent appearance is really unprecedented."

Yuan Tiangang was amazed again and again, carefully picked up a steamed bun, and took a bite in it.
