Opening a Tavern in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 62: How to make cement and instant noodles to build city walls and houses

After everyone left, the emperor asked curiously, "How is this cement made? I see the cement flooring on the ground of this house; it's smooth and solid, truly amazing, but I don't know how it's made."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyu nodded hurriedly and said, "Your Majesty, please wait a moment. I will ask Yuyu to think it through carefully and write a detailed plan to present to Your Majesty."

As he spoke, he quickly pulled Yuyu over and whispered, "Yuyu, go to the space and ask the system how cement is made. Also, ask about the recipe for instant noodles. Don't delay. Go quickly and come back quickly. Don't tell anyone."

Yu Yu nodded obediently, walked away quickly and quietly, found an empty corner, and went into the space to ask the system about the method of making cement and instant noodles.

Yuyu's big eyes sparkled with excitement, and she called out anxiously in her mind, "System, system, I need a method for making cement, and instant noodles. Write me a blueprint quickly."

The mysterious system was silent for a moment, and then the [ancient version of cement production drawings and instant noodle drawings] appeared in Yu Yu's hands.

When Yu Yu stepped out of the space, the sunlight shone on her and she trotted all the way to the emperor.

The flying hair and the blueprints: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Her voice was as clear as a silver bell: "Here are the cement blueprints and the blueprints for making instant noodles."

Li Shimin put down the pear and took the blueprint: "Is this how to make cement and instant noodles?"

Yuyu scratched his head. "Your Majesty, that's right. This cement, according to the instructions on the blueprint, is made by carefully firing limestone, clay and other materials in the right proportions. You will get a magical substance. After adding water and stirring, it can be molded into various shapes and is extremely strong."

Xiaoyu looked at the back mountain and said, "Your Majesty, there are also these instant noodles. Make the noodles according to the drawings, add special spices and dried vegetables, and soak them in hot water when eating. It is fragrant, delicious, and filling."

The emperor smiled and nodded, seeming to understand. "That sounds wonderful. If it's true as you say, it's truly a national treasure."

Li Hao brought a stone and sat on it. "Your Majesty, please arrange for someone to conduct a test according to the blueprint immediately. If successful, it will surely benefit our dynasty."

Xiaoyu squatted down and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, with cement, our buildings can last for thousands of years, and instant noodles can also quickly solve the problem of food during marches, wars, or famines."

Yuyu petted the calico cat, and the calico cat curled its tail and said, "Your Majesty, this is a great benefit to the Tang Dynasty."

The emperor stood with his hands on his arm and said: "I will go back and take a look. Okay, follow me for a walk."

Upon hearing this, Yuyu quickly responded with a smile, "Your Majesty has given the order, and I will certainly obey. It is a great pleasure to be able to accompany Your Majesty for a walk."

Xiaoyu bowed and said, "Your Majesty, it is truly an honor to be by your side."

Li Hao clasped his fists and bowed respectfully, "Your Majesty, I will follow your lead and await your orders."

The emperor saw Cheng Chumo and others and nodded slightly.

Yuyu's eyes lit up, and she pointed to a place not far away and said, "Your Majesty, look over there, there's a koi pond with koi playing in the water."

The emperor smiled and said, "It seems the scenery here is quite nice. Let's go and take a look."

Li Hao said, "This koi pond will surely bring good luck to your majesty."

Seeing this, Cheng Chumo and others hurried forward to salute.

Cheng Chumo smiled and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I thought I'd come to the back mountain to digest my food and enjoy the scenery. I didn't expect Your Majesty to come too."

Qin Huaidao also saluted: "Yes, Your Majesty, the scenery of the back mountain is pleasant, especially the koi pond. The koi are lively and lively, which makes people happy. I strolled over here unconsciously."

Wei Shuyu bowed gracefully and said, "Your Majesty, the breeze is gentle here, and the koi fish are swimming. It is truly a wonderful place to relax and take a stroll. I, your humble servant, was also attracted here."

Fang Yizhi clasped his fists respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, we were just discussing the wonders of this koi when Your Majesty arrived. What a coincidence."

The emperor looked at the koi thoughtfully and said, "This cement would be great for building a city wall."

Yuyu's eyes lit up. "Your Majesty is wise! This cement wall is perfect. With a solid wall, it will be difficult for foreign enemies to break through, and it will ensure the peace of the people of the Tang Dynasty."

Xiaoyu nodded repeatedly, "Yes, and using cement might make construction faster, so we can build a city wall around Datang sooner."

Li Hao swept the leaves off the ground with his feet. "Your Majesty, if we use a lot of cement to build the city wall, we can make it thicker, greatly improve its defense capabilities, and build more fortifications on the wall."

Cheng Chumo clasped his fists excitedly and said, "Your Majesty, with this magical object, we will surely be able to build an iron wall of defense that will deter the enemy. May God bless our dynasty!"

Qin Huaidao gestured and said, "Your Majesty, using cement to build the city wall is not only strong, but it may also reduce the number of repairs in the future, saving manpower and material resources."

Wei Shuyu lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty is absolutely right. Using cement in city wall construction will surely make it as solid as a rock. This is a good strategy for enriching the country and strengthening the military."

Fang Yizhi took a bite of his apple and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that we should quickly arrange for the craftsmen to produce cement according to the blueprint and use it in the construction of the city wall. This will surely ensure the eternal stability of our dynasty."

The emperor nodded and said: "The city wall needs to be built and reinforced. The Western Regions have just withdrawn..."

Xiaoyu bowed and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, gentlemen, lunch is ready so you can enjoy it in time if you are tired from strolling around. Your Majesty and the gentlemen, please enjoy the beautiful scenery of the back mountain."

The emperor nodded and said: "Go ahead, I'll take a look around first."

Xiaoyu said as she walked: "We have to prepare lunch well today, as it is the first meal in the new house."

Yuyu smiled and nodded: "Yes, then we have to make all our specialties. Instant noodles can show everyone this new and novel food."

Li Hao touched his chin and said, "Although instant noodles are delicious, His Majesty and his family may not be used to them. Let's prepare some more traditional dishes and use instant noodles as a garnish."

Xiaoyu nodded: "Yeah, that makes sense. The kitchen has enough ingredients, so we need to cook it more carefully so that everyone can eat to their satisfaction."

Xiaoyu washed the pot and poured water, then turned around and said, "Yuyu, while the emperor and the ministers haven't returned yet, go to the space and get eight bottles of Moutai, those drinks, and some beer as well."

Yu Yu's eyes lit up and he nodded quickly, saying, "Okay, I'll get it from the space right away." After that, he quietly found a corner where no one noticed him, and flashed into the space.

Soon, Yuyu emerged from the space with a smile on her face. She carefully held eight bottles of Moutai, and also carried several bags of drinks and some beer in her hands: "Okay, okay, Mom, I can't carry it anymore!"
