Li Chengqian and Li Tai rushed to the imperial kitchen and saw Fang Chen guarding a stove without saying a word, holding a big stick in his hand and stirring continuously.

"Second brother, are you okay?"

"Second brother, don't be angry. If I find a chance next time, I will definitely make Concubine Yin and Li You die!"

Little did they know that Li Shimin was more ruthless than them and had already sacrificed Concubine Yin's mother and son to help Fang Chen stabilize his mood.

After all, Li Shimin was more worried about Fang Chen getting sick (hysteria) next time. If he couldn't control it, he would be jealous of Yingcai.

"I'm fine, I just plan to make some supplements for the queen."

Li Chengqian and Li Tai were slightly surprised. Looking at the thick substance in the pot, it was hard to imagine what kind of supplement this was.

"Second brother, what are you planning to do? Why don't you let the imperial chef help you?"

Fang Chen smiled bitterly and said, "They are all helping me, haven't you noticed?"

Only then did the two of them notice that the entire imperial kitchen was busy, with piles of sugar cane being transported in.

Peel the skin, squeeze the juice, and add it to the pot to cook.

"Second brother, this sugar cane juice is certainly delicious, but what kind of supplement is it?" Li Chengqian asked.

Brown sugar has been invented since ancient times. This is a method of cooking without open fire. It really started to spread and was only established after Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty sent envoys to India.

Fang Chen pointed to the contents of the pot and said: "Brown sugar can moisten the lungs, help the five internal organs, produce body fluids, detoxify, help the spleen, and slow down liver qi! The most important thing is that it is most effective for women, and has the effect of replenishing qi and blood. It will be better early."

I made it for my mother in 2008."

They naturally understood who the mother Fang Chen was talking about.

"Second brother, let me help you!"

"Second brother, and me!"

The three brothers each set up a large pot and boiled the sugar cane juice. When the juice was boiling, it was slowly boiled over medium heat. They stirred for two hours, and the sky entered the early morning hours before it was ready.

Fang Chen ordered people to turn off the heat and let the syrup cool.

"Go and find me some eggs. Bring more. Prince Brother and Qingque also need to eat something."

"Ha~ very good." Li Chengqian yawned, and Li Tai beside him had already fallen asleep.

Fang Chen shoveled the cooked brown sugar out of the pot and set it aside to cool.

He broke off a small piece and put it in his mouth. After thinking about it, he broke off another piece and stuffed it into Li Chengqian's mouth.

Li Chengqian didn't care at all and tasted it carefully, with a satisfied smile on his face. It was sweet and had a bit of a strange smell. After all, this was his first time eating brown sugar.

"Qingque, wake up, it's done."

Li Tai was shaken awake and wiped his saliva, "Are you ready?"

Li Chengqian also broke off a piece for Li Tai, which was a bit big, and threw it all into Li Tai's mouth. Li Tai's face was distorted.

"Brother, what is this? Do you want to poison me?"

Fang Chen hurriedly explained: "It's normal to eat this thing raw. It's best to make soup."

Without vomiting it out, Li Tai finished eating a whole piece and was still a little bit unsatisfied.

"Your Highness, here are the eggs."

Part of the brown sugar is boiled in water, part is used to boil eggs, and with the remaining brown sugar, Fang Chen plans to make some steamed eggs.

Although they are all bland foods, they are a great supplement!

Boiled eggs and steamed eggs are also simple and don't take long.

Fang Chen thanked the imperial chefs for their help. After all, they had been helping all night, and then ordered that it was forbidden to spread this method and that this method should be kept in the palace.

"Yes, the slaves know it. If anyone dares not to listen, the slaves will definitely make him regret it!"

Yang Qi led the chefs to salute, and then asked Fang Chen and others to leave.

There are more than a dozen brown sugar eggs and less steamed eggs, only a few bowls.

Fang Chen shared ten eggs with Li Chengqian and Li Tai. They tasted really good and left an endless aftertaste.

"This brown sugar steamed egg will be sent directly to the Empress, Your Majesty and the Supreme Emperor. If you want to eat it, just heat it up."

"I know this. Your three highnesses should rest for a while."

Returning to the side hall of Kunning Palace, the three of them squeezed into the same bed again, and Li Chengqian and Fang Chen fell asleep quickly.

Li Tai had slept for a while, so he was not very sleepy. He got up and found two brown sugar eggs and ate them in his stomach.

"The food my second brother made is really extraordinary. Alas, I really can't eat it anymore."

Climbing onto the bed, the two of them squeezed together, and soon they were snoring like thunder.

The most tiring ones were Fang Chen and Li Chengqian, who stared at it intently for two hours and stirred it with a stick for two hours.

When the winter sunshine returned, Li Shimin woke up in the morning and was surprised to see the bowl of steamed eggs in his hand.

"You mean, Cheng Qian, Yu'er, and Qing Que spent the whole night together?"

Liu Sancheng bowed his body and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, the three Your Highnesses are exhausted and haven't woken up yet. They are all resting in the side hall of Kunning Palace."

"Why didn't you tell me to wake up last night? It's cold, how can you respect their feelings?"

Liu Sancheng sighed and said: "Your Majesty, this is the intention of His Highness the Second Highness and His Highness the Crown Prince. These Highnesses stayed up late to make this thing mainly for the Queen."

"Oh? What's the significance of this?"

"His Second Highness said, this is brown sugar. After a lot of effort, the entire imperial kitchen was busy all night. All the sugar cane in the treasury was used up, so we could make less than one vat."

Then he talked about the functions of brown sugar again, and mentioned that His Highness did not allow the imperial dining room to be spread outside.

Li Shimin nodded and immediately understood the meaning, "Leave this matter to Guanyin Maid, and the inner treasury can also have some money."

The manufacture of steel, horseshoes and saddles is basically done by the Ministry of Industry, and no one else can intervene. Even if Li Shimin wanted to make some money from these, there was no way.

As for the cooking method that Fang Chen passed down? I haven't considered opening a restaurant for the royal family for the time being. After all, it would damage the royal family's face if it were revealed.

"Does Guanyin Maid know about it?"

"Back to Your Majesty, your Majesty is having a meal at the moment, and has sent the palace maid to the imperial kitchen to record the method of brewing brown sugar."

"It's very good, I'll try it too."

It melts in your mouth, coupled with the taste of eggs and the aroma of brown sugar, it is indescribably satisfying.

Without noticing, the bowl was empty. Li Shimin felt that he still had something to say, "Is there anything more?"

"Yes, but they are boiled eggs."

"What?"

"Your Majesty, your three highnesses ate some eggs before dawn this morning and then went to bed."

He was not satisfied at first, but at this moment, Li Shimin couldn't say anything, and the word "filial piety" took precedence over everything else.

He pursed his lips and sighed: "Bring me their food, I want to eat it!"

"But Your Majesty, there are only two left, and they haven't been heated yet."

"I told you, I want to eat!"

Liu Sancheng had no choice but to send someone to get it, peel it off and swallow it in one gulp. Li Shimin found that it was very different from the steamed egg.

But the taste was okay, but it made me choke after it cooled down. After I put two eggs into my stomach, I felt a little hungry before, but now it completely disappeared.

"Go to court!"
