The big man has a living father

Chapter 102 Leisurely Days
Early in the morning, Huo Qubing washed his face with hot water in the courtyard.

Huo Hai walked out of the small courtyard and turned around to see Huo Qubing standing in the snow with his upper body naked. He was emitting heat from his upper body. He was stunned for a moment and said, "Brother, do you really have to wash your face here?"

Huo Qubing turned around and glanced at Huo Hai, a little surprised: "Why are you up so early in the morning? Except for being on duty at the Crown Prince's Palace, I have never seen you get up early."

Huo Hai tightened his clothes, curled up into a ball, and yawned: "I'm working overtime. The prince's birthday is today. He doesn't want to study on his birthday. He came out to play with the princess. I have to accompany him."

Huo Hai yawned: "Aren't you cold?"

Huo Qubing: "At this time of year, soldiers tend to get a lot of acne on their bodies. Military doctors have summarized their experience and found that frequent wiping and washing of the skin can prevent acne."

"The reason why I took off my clothes to wash them is that if the clothes get wet during washing, it will make acne more likely to break out."

Huo Hai was stunned for a moment and felt that Huo Qubing might be talking about bacterial folliculitis.

But it's true that people of this era don't have hormonal drugs and disinfectants, let alone traditional Chinese medicine that can expel internal heat, so it's very difficult to treat folliculitis.

Moreover, in the past winters, people were generally afraid of getting sick and rarely took baths, which made it even more difficult to treat this kind of thing.

What is the military like? Everybody is a sports expert. And later, bacterial folliculitis is most likely to break out in places like gyms.

Huo Hai: "Is this situation in the military very serious?"

Cross-infection is too easy in a military environment.

Huo Qubing thought for a moment and said, "They are not particularly powerful. They are just a small group of people. Maybe one or two out of a hundred."

Huo Hai pinched his chin and began to think.

Huo Hai now has a mission, which is to try every means to prevent Huo Qubing from contracting the disease during the march. After learning about this situation today, he came up with another possibility.

Being infected with bacterial folliculitis is actually equivalent to becoming a bacterial carrier. After getting this thing, skin wounds are difficult to heal. Military training is frequent and it is easy to get injured. If the skin wounds do not heal, infection is also a possibility.

After talking a little more with Huo Qubing, Huo Hai went to the front yard.

When Huo Hai arrived at the front yard, Princess Wei Chang's car was already in the yard.

It is obvious that Liu Ju always gets up early and has no habit of sleeping in, and the same is true for Princess Wei Chang.

Liu Ju saw Huo Hai coming and waved his hand: "Brother Hai."

However, he was holding a bottle of milk in his left hand and a windmill in his right hand, so it was more like he was waving the windmill rather than welcoming Huo Hai.

Huo Hai stepped forward. Although Liu Ju was very enthusiastic, Huo Hai still greeted Princess Wei Chang first: "Good morning, have you eaten?"

Princess Wei Chang spread out her hands, which contained a handful of baked cakes that looked very hard.

Huo Hai picked up one with two fingers and put it into his mouth: "You want to eat this?"

Princess Wei Chang: "What else can we eat?"

Huo Hai tilted his head and then remembered that others only ate two meals a day, but he only ate three meals a day.

Although Princess Wei Chang is rich, she only eats two meals, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. This handful of baked cookies is at most a snack, the same as dried fruit.

Huo Hai rubbed his hands and blew a breath: "Let's go and eat first. There will be no food to eat when we go to the research institute to play for a while today."

"Eat first and then go."

Seeing the Crown Prince and the Princess followed Huo Hai, the guards and maids behind them followed them in.

Huo Hai brought Princess Wei Chang and Liu Ju directly to the kitchen in his own courtyard.

At this time, the cook in the kitchen was cooking wontons.

Huo Hai: "Cook one bowl each for Her Royal Highness the Princess and Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

When the cook heard that the two people in front of him were the prince and the princess, he hurriedly wiped his hands and wanted to greet them. But then he heard Huo Hai say that he wanted to cook wontons, and he didn't know what to do for a moment and was at a loss.

Liu Ju was very curious and looked into the pot.

Princess Wei Chang also looked at the wontons that had just come out of the pot and asked: "Why is this called wontons?"

Huo Hai pointed at the cook and said, "Look, he's making it for you."

At this time, the cook hurriedly bowed and started to make the dumplings.

The cook put a little meat filling on the dough and then bent the dough inward with his hands.

The freshly wrapped wonton was placed on the chopping board. Princess Wei Chang looked at the wonton, then looked at Huo Hai, who was curled up with his hands tucked into his left hand and then his right hand tucked into his left sleeve, and then understood.

This wonton looks just like a person with his hands folded.

The cook worked quickly and wrapped quite a few of them, then threw them into the pot to cook.

While it's cooking here, the chef is preparing the seasonings over there.

Liu Ju looked at the shrimp skin and asked: "What is this little shrimp-like thing?"

Princess Wei touched Liu Ju's head and said, "Call me Xiao Xia."

Liu Ju looked up at Princess Wei Chang and said, "Sister, are the shrimps born from the big shrimps?"

Huo Hai: "It was born by the mother shrimp... It was born by the mother shrimp. This kind of shrimp is only this big. We call this shrimp skin, and this is seaweed."

Princess Wei Chang: "It seems that this meal is a seafood feast, with noodles, meat, cooked vegetables, and seafood. And it is quite convenient to prepare."

Such a simple thing can be understood at a glance.

Huo Hai: "It cooks quickly and doesn't use a lot of firewood, so it's especially suitable for selling in a store."

Princess Wei Chang: "You want to open a wonton shop?"

Huo Hai shook his head.

The cook said, "Your Highness, our Master has created many new dishes of this kind, and taught them all to others for free. Now many restaurants in Chang'an County are selling food invented by the Master."

Princess Wei Chang was a little surprised, because in her opinion, Huo Hai liked to make money more, but he did not harm others when making money, but was very kind to the workers.

But it has not reached the point of giving away your things to others for free.

Huo Hai laughed awkwardly. In fact, Huo Hai just didn't trust the chef's cooking skills.

Huo Hai always believes in one thing, that is, when there are more people doing the same thing, there will always be geniuses among them.

If only the Huo family's chef makes wontons, their quality will always be just that high. But if this thing gets out, within a year, there will definitely be people whose wontons taste good enough to beat the Huo family's chef.

Including other foods, it was because of this reason that Huo Hai spread them.

Food is different from anything else. It is difficult to standardize it and make it delicious at the same time, so Huo Hai did not plan to make money by offering a variety of dishes from the beginning.

However, in the eyes of the chefs, Huo Hai's behavior was to give benefits to thousands of chefs in Chang'an and help these chefs find a way to make a living for free.

In the time it takes to say these two sentences, the wonton is ready.

The cook made the wonton and put it on the chopping board.

Huo Hai picked up a bowl and said, "You have to carry it yourself."

"Your Highness, just let the guards carry it if you want to."

Huo Hai turned around and looked at the cook: "Make some for the princess' maids and guards as well. After they eat, you can go to the laboratory."

As Huo Hai's cook, he is not only Huo Hai's cook, but also the head chef of the institute's canteen. After cooking for Huo Hai, he has to go to the institute's canteen to keep up appearances.

Her Royal Highness tried it and found it was not that hot: "This bowl is better than the ceramic bowl."

Huo Hai chuckled: "Of course, this bowl has been improved a lot and we have a lot of stock. We will promote it all at once before the end of the year. You can also have a copy. I will have someone send it to the princess's mansion when the time comes."

The maid helped Liu Ju get the milk and windmill, and then Liu Ju went to pick up the bowl of dumplings.

It would definitely be hot if you hold it in the summer, but it is so comfortable to hold a bowl of hot milk in the winter!
The three of them came out of the courtyard and placed the wontons on the stone table in the courtyard.

The maid hurriedly took out a mat and placed it on the stone bench.

Huo Hai also got some luck, as he sat on a stone bench with a cushion for the first time.

After sitting down, Princess Wei Chang first pushed down the hat on Liu Ju's head before she started to eat the wontons.

Huo Hai scooped up a spoonful of soup, blew on it, and drank it. Princess Wei Chang and Liu Ju watched and learned from him.

Huo Hai finished drinking: "Ha~!"

Liu Ju learned it more thoroughly: "Ha~~!"

Huo Hai: "It's a pity that we haven't succeeded in synthesizing MSG crystals yet."

Princess Wei Chang tasted the deliciousness of the dried shrimps in the soup and wondered, "What is MSG crystallization?"

"Literally, MSG means the essence of flavor, right?"

Huo Hai: "Our researchers who study bacterial plaque discovered that after fermenting grains with bacterial plaque, the taste becomes extremely delicious. This is called monosodium glutamate."

"However, we have observed that it can crystallize like salt and sugar, and there are many impurities in the incompletely crystallized MSG, so it cannot be eaten until it is completely crystallized."

Huo Hai put down the spoon, picked up the wonton, and blew on it: "Be careful, it's hot."

Princess Wei Chang and Liu Ju also followed suit.

Liu Ju has eaten a lot of dried seafood, but he has never tasted the simple shrimp and seaweed wonton soup. The simple and fresh feeling plus the clear and bright color of the soup added to the feeling in the hearts of children, which made Liu Ju particularly like it.

Before he finished chewing one bite, he scooped up another one with a spoon.

Princess Wei Chang has also recently heard about Zhao Guo's research results and some things. Although the experimental report has not yet been made public, many imperial nobles have already learned that different foods have different effects, and some of them are essential for humans. These foods have been temporarily named nutrients.

Wonton is an extremely simple food that has everything in it. It is obviously a multi-nutrient simple food that was specially invented.

Simply put, as long as you eat wonton every day, your body will not lack any nutrients and will be very healthy. If you eat this thing for a long time, the bodies of the Han people will definitely be able to beat the surrounding Hu people.

But the problem is that not everyone can eat wontons with meat, at least not now.

Huo Hai finished his food in just a few bites, Princess Wei Chang was still drinking her soup slowly, and although Liu Ju had his mouth full of wontons and was chewing hard, his mouth was small after all, so there was still some food left in the bowl.

Huo Hai turned his head and saw that Princess Wei Chang's maids and guards were also eating.

Turning to the other side, I saw Xiang Xugang holding a bowl and preparing to eat.

Huo Hai stared.

Xiang Xu honestly brought the wonton over: "Sir."

Huo Hai nodded with satisfaction: "This boy is teachable, give him a bonus."

Princess Wei Chang: "Bonus?"

Huo Hai chuckled, "When your majesty is happy, he gives rewards to the soldiers. I can't give rewards, but I can reward them, so it's called a bonus."

Soon, Huo Hai finished his second bowl, and Liu Ju had just finished his first bowl, but Liu Ju still wanted to eat more.

Huo Hai: "Don't eat too much, or you'll have a stomachache."

Liu Ju weighed it and nodded: "Okay."

After Princess Wei Chang finished eating the wonton, the three of them walked towards the research institute together.

Two months later, the institute has undergone a major transformation.

It used to be just an ordinary village courtyard, but now a wide road has been built.

There are many cement brick buildings on both sides of the road.

The buildings even had painted walls.

Huo Hai didn't remember the specific details of the materials used to paint the walls, so he did a lot of experiments at the time, using the houses in the research institute.

Many research institutes have large open concrete areas outside.

That's not a parking lot, it's an outdoor testing ground.
