Chapter 61:
The husband and wife chatted all night, and Su Li retold the wrong story because of the lack of focus.
When the next morning arrived, Changle pressed Su Li in front of the bronze mirror and tied his hair with her own hands. This was something she had wanted to do for a long time.
Ever since Su Li clumsily braided her hair, Changle had been thinking that when she woke up, she would personally tie his hair every day. Changle was clever and skillful. Even though she had not braided hair in over four months, she knew exactly how to do it.Ñøv€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.
Ill get you dressed! Changle gently tied Su Lis waist and picked up the outer garment with a blushing face.
Su Li could not resist Changles insistence and could only open his hands, letting her take care of his dressing. The sky was bright and clear when the two finished getting ready.
The young couple had spent the night chatting away, losing track of time with their familiar yet new conversations.
Su Li was in great physical condition and looked energetic even without sleep. Princess Changle had just woken up and had eaten a Bodhi fruit, making her body full of energy.
The couple took their time with everything, chatting and procrastinating, causing them to waste quite a bit of time. Even the sun in the sky had risen, indicating that a considerable amount of time had passed.
Even the governor of the Princess Mansion, who was waiting outside to deliver food to Su Li, was beginning to feel puzzled. After spending so much time together, the female officer understood Su Lis routine.
Every day, he would wake up early, wash Princess Changles face, braid her hair, and then instruct the maids to prepare liquid food. After personally feeding Princess Changle, Su Li would have his own breakfast. This routine took a lot of time, and Su Li would almost always wake up early in the morning, even before dawn, as if he had an endless supply of energy.
Surprisingly, the sky was bright today, and there was no movement. However, the female officer didnt rush him. After all, she saw Su Lis hard work, and getting extra sleep was not a bad idea.
But after waiting for a while, it was almost an hour Su Li still hadnt shown any sign of getting up.
The grated liquid food prepared for Princess Changle was cold and then reheated. The female officer felt strange and came to the door cautiously but heard no movement in the room. The female officer gently knocked on the door.
Prince the meal prepared for the princess is ready! The female officer called out, understanding that Su Li might need more rest.
The female officer didnt mind if Su Li slept in, and she wouldnt even mind if he slept for a whole day. After all, he had worked hard for so long. Taking a break was completely understandable.
However, the key was that Princess Changle needed to eat. So after waiting for over an hour, the female officer couldnt wait any longer and decided to call out for Su Li.
Then prepare another portion Su Lis voice came from inside the room.
Huh? The female officer was shocked.
Is there something wrong with the recipe? The female officer instinctively asked, wondering if there was an issue with the food preparation. Since Princess Changle was in a coma, she could only eat liquid food, and the daily recipes were specially crafted for her.
Lets eat first! Changle held Su Lis hand.
Ill go prepare the meal! The female officer didnt question Princess Changles decision.
Su Li shook his head, though.
Ill do it!
All this time, Su Lis system warehouse was filled with various ingredients, all sorts of seasonings
Before, he had been focused on accumulating points, and with Princess Changle being unconscious, he didnt have the time to satisfy his appetite. Now that the husband and wife had finally met, Su Li was finally in the mood to treat his taste buds.
Ancient delicacies, royal chefs, modern technology, and hard work were the black technologies of the culinary world.
Most importantly, the seasonings provided by the system were guaranteed to be safe!
Now he finally had the time to calm down and fully satisfy his appetite.
Su Lis cooking skills were not unfamiliar. He was a bit negligent in his previous life as a modern person. However, in this lifetime, as a peasant working in the fields all day, mastering cooking skills became necessary.
Unfortunately, during this era, there were no frying pans, making it inconvenient to cook many dishes. In the early Tang Dynasty, iron and steel smelting hadnt reached the level of widespread wok usage.
Creating a wok required steel beyond the smelting capabilities of the early Tang Dynasty, and it was usually reserved for crafting fine armor. From small details of daily life, the true productivity and national strength of an era could often be reflected.
Historical records showed that before the invasion of the Eight-Power Allied Forces, diplomats from Zhu Xia went abroad, which led to reflections upon their return.
Despite lacking etiquette and refinement, the foreign invaders used knives and forks for meals, indicating the advantages of steel.
During the Han Dynasty, ironware gradually replaced bronze tools. Only towards the end of the Tang Dynasty did iron and steel smelting reach a level capable of mass-producing iron pans.
By the time of the Song Dynasty, cooking with iron pots had become prominent. Ultimately, Su Li made a few side dishes and simmered pork rib soup. Princess Changle helped light the fire and admired Su Lis cooking skills. Then, Su Li took out a variety of unconventional ingredients.
As the saying goes, My spoonful of evaporated milk is better in color and taste than the rib soup youve slaved over all day.
MSG was an absolute game-changer in ancient times. People familiar with the history of Zhu Xia cuisine knew that in the absence of MSG, the broth was typically used to enhance the flavor of food. (ED Note: MSG stands for Monosodium Glutamate. MSG is a flavor enhancer added to food. It makes dishes taste better. Some people might have mild reactions, but overall its considered safe to eat.)
Additionally, dried shrimp and sea intestines were ground into powder, while mushrooms were used as natural flavor enhancers. Ignoring the health concerns of MSG, a person skilled in cooking, when given MSG, could instantly become a master in ancient times.
