The little princess' mind was read, and the court and harem were eating melons

Wang Xuan said that she is not an iron man and cannot do every business she comes into.

However, if Li Qingyi simply wanted to help others and did not seek any profit, she would still have a way to bring a cost-effective and cheap burn ointment to the market.

Li Qingyi: [As for the income, I don’t need the money. ]

Wang Xuan smiled and said, "Well, if we only look at it from a personal perspective, there is indeed no shortage of teachers."

After all, Li Qingyi's food and drink are now paid for by her parents, and she hardly spends any money on her own. She doesn't have any extravagant hobbies, and she also has a share from Wang Xuan, so she has the money if she really needs to spend money.

Li Qingyi was rarely stopped, and said: [The national treasury should be better now, right? ]

Wang Xuan: [The honeycomb briquettes business is already picking up, but in order to do better business, I will have to increase the funds I spend on cement to speed up the progress. The other thing is asphalt...]

Li Qingyi: [Asphalt?]

Wang Xuan: [I only know the surface of this, so I am not very clear about many things, but I remember that in my previous life when I was a child, all I saw were asphalt roads, and later they were gradually replaced by cement roads.]

Wang Xuan: [In this case, does it mean that asphalt is easier to work with than cement? ]

Li Qingyi: [What you said makes sense. ]

As for Li Qingyi himself... I'm sorry, Li Qingyi doesn't understand either.

The system couldn't help but: [Why don't you ask me? ]

Wang Xuan: [Are you talking about the cement formula? You only have the fourth-level cement formula, what's the point of asking? The only task I can see to obtain the fourth-level formula is that I roughly calculated that it would require the teacher to spend at least 5000 merits, which is impossible to complete in a short period of time.]

System: [No, I mean asphalt.]

Wang Xuan: [Do you have an asphalt formula?]

System: [Yes, but asphalt is actually more expensive and requires maintenance. In some ways, it is not as cost-effective as cement. ]

Wang Xuan started a discussion with the system directly. After listening for a while, Li Qingyi's attention was diverted by Fang Xin.

"Your Highness, regarding the bakery and oven you mentioned earlier, I asked the kitchen to arrange for someone to try them out. They made some delicious food today. Do you want to try it?"

After Li Qingyi made the oven, he tried it himself once. The finished product was edible, but it had nothing to do with bread.

Li Qingyi, a giant in theory and a dwarf in action.

This cannot be blamed on her, as she had never made bread herself in her previous life, and her cooking skills were just average. All she could say was that the food she cooked was edible, but there was no way to tell how delicious it was.

Well, at least I’m not a master of dark cuisine, that’s pretty good, right?

Hearing Fang Xin's words, Li Qingyi immediately became excited and quickly asked someone to bring the things up.

Before people get close, the familiar fragrance has already drifted in, and in this familiarity, there is a sense of strangeness.

The freshly baked bread has a strong aroma, is soft and sweet, and is made into an exquisite appearance under the hands of the imperial chef. There is also a delicate lotus pattern on the round bread, which shows the maker's care.

As soon as she smelled the food, Li Qingyi's mouth began to water unconsciously. When she saw the palm-sized breads brought up by the palace servants, her appetite, which had not originally felt hungry, suddenly reached its peak.

Li Qingyi subconsciously reached out to take it, but when his eyes touched the chopsticks on the tray, he paused slightly and blinked: "Hmm?"

Fang Xin: "What's wrong, little prince?"

Li Qingyi: "Nothing, I just want to say, this kind of food, eat it with your hands..."

As he spoke, Li Qingyi looked at the steaming bread and hesitated: "It shouldn't be hot, right?"

The imperial chef, Eunuch Chen, who followed over, bowed and replied, "Your Highness, this has cooled down for a while. It's not hot to the touch on the surface, but the inside is hotter than the outside, and it's not easy to dissipate heat. If you want to eat it, I recommend that you cut the bread with a knife before eating it."

In this way, the heat inside can be dissipated quickly, and the food will not get cold after a while in the summer like in the winter, and the bread will still be soft.

Eunuch Chen paused and continued, "I have tried it before. This bread is just as you said. It is softer when it is warm, and it tastes good when it is cold."

Fang Xin glanced at the respectful Eunuch Chen, then turned to Li Qingyi: "Young Prince, do you want to cut it open?"

Li Qingyi: "...Cut it out."

Li Qingyi: I didn't expect that I, who didn't live a very refined life in my previous life, would have to be so particular about eating a small piece of bread in this life.

Li Qingyi now has almost forgotten what the bread she ate in her previous life tasted like. Since Eunuch Chen and others presented the bread to her, they must have tasted it beforehand. If the taste was unsatisfactory, they would not have presented it to Li Qingyi.

However, even so, the first person to eat the bread was not Li Qingyi, but Fang Xin.

After Fang Xin took a sip, she let Li Qingyi taste it after a while.

Li Qingyi: "..."

Although she knew that this was for her own good, Li Qingyi still felt a little uncomfortable.

However, this is also the rule in the palace. Li Qingyi was not used to it but didn't say anything. He took a bite of the soft bread and squinted his eyes.

good to eat!

Li Qingyi felt inexplicably moved.

It’s not that she likes bread so much, nor that Eunuch Chen’s cooking skills are so good that she will cry after taking a bite, but... it tastes like home.

It's a taste that wasn't here before.

That's why it seems special.

Li Qingyi narrowed his eyes, feeling the delicious taste spreading in his mouth, without saying a word.

Afterwards, she quietly enjoyed two small pieces of bread before stopping and looking at Eunuch Chen.

Because she hadn't spoken, although Eunuch Chen tried to remain calm at this time, judging from his tense body, he was a little nervous.

Li Qingyi thought about it for a moment and understood the reason. He smiled and said, "It's delicious. Thank you for your hard work."

Although Li Qingyi did not say any compliments, just this one sentence was enough to make Eunuch Chen relax.

Eunuch Chen smiled and said, "As long as I don't disappoint the young prince, I'm glad."

Li Qingyi shook his head: "It's already very good, the taste is very good, you have only tried it for more than a day, it's already very good to be able to achieve this level."

When she orally dictated the method to the people in the small kitchen, she thought that it would be great if she could make the most ordinary bread, after all, she had never seen anyone else make it before.

As a result, in just one day, Li Qingyi didn't say much, but Eunuch Chen and his men had already worked out the pattern, which was something Li Qingyi himself couldn't do.

But it’s not very strange. Although there is no bread here, there are a lot of pasta and baked buns. It’s just a slight change of direction. I think it’s not difficult for professionals like them.

Li Qingyi looked at Fang Xin, who naturally took out the purse she had prepared earlier and handed it to Eunuch Chen: "There are other rewards in the small kitchen, this is yours alone."
