My hotel is full of emperors throughout history.
Chapter 6: Strong liquor is good, but one should not overindulge.
Chen Mo looked at the two silent people and pointed to the instant noodles on the table, urging them to hurry up.
"Eat quickly! Otherwise the instant noodles will get soggy and won't taste good."
Chen Mo's words immediately brought the two of them back to reality.
Li Shimin took a deep breath, picked up the instant noodles, and lifted the lid.
Instantly, an even richer aroma wafted over.
The deep-fried noodles, slightly stretched by the hot water, are soaked in the orange-red, oily broth, making them look incredibly appetizing.
Li Shimin wasn't worried at all. He picked up a plastic fork, picked up a few noodles, and put them in his mouth.
"Hiss~!"
He gasped as soon as he took a bite.
"His Majesty……"
Fang Xuanling hurriedly spoke, but Li Shimin raised his hand to stop him.
He picked up the Coke, took a big gulp, and then sighed.
"Wonderful! Wonderful! Although it looks simple, the taste is truly intense! Excellent! Absolutely wonderful!"
After saying this, Li Shimin reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
The flavor is rich and complex, spicy and numbing, salty and savory, and has a certain "magical" flavor that he can't quite identify but is irresistible.
For an ancient emperor accustomed to the refined, natural flavors and relatively restrained seasonings of imperial cuisine.
The taste of this spicy instant noodles is absolutely explosive.
Seeing Li Shimin's reaction, Fang Xuanling also looked at his own bucket of purple instant noodles, opened it, picked up a few strands, and put them in his mouth.
"Hmm!"
Almost at the same moment, Fang Xuanling, the usually composed strategist, also let out a brief exclamation.
His reaction differed from Li Shimin's.
The tangy broth instantly awakened his taste buds; the sourness was just right, at least that's what Fang Xuanling thought.
"Your Majesty, this thing...this thing has such a distinct and unique flavor!"
Fang Xuanling disregarded etiquette, blowing on the soup with some urgency while taking another big bite, savoring the sensation of the sour and spicy broth spreading in his mouth.
"The noodles are smooth and silky, the broth is sour, spicy, and savory—this sourness is especially refreshing and appetizing! What kind of soup is this that it can be so portable, ready to eat with just a splash of hot water?"
After saying that, Fang Xuanling picked up the cola and took a sip.
Cool!!!
This idea came to Fang Xuanling's mind.
He looked at the instant noodles in his hand and asked again.
"I wonder how much this item would sell for in the modern world?"
"It's about five or six yuan. If you buy a lot, the price might go down."
"???"
Fang Xuanling was stunned.
This bucket of instant noodles only costs five or six yuan?
Let alone the bread, just the oil, salt, and various spices it contains would cost an unknown amount of money!
Plus the outer packaging!
But it only sells for five or six yuan?
If you took this bowl to the Tang Dynasty, the spices alone would be incredibly expensive!
Fang Xuanling was deeply moved.
Li Shimin took a sip of the spicy noodle soup, still wanting more.
The complex flavors of scalding hot, spicy, and salty made him breathe a long sigh of relief.
He also heard Chen Mo's words and pondered for a moment before replying.
"If the army had this, the soldiers would be greatly encouraged to have a bowl of hot soup noodles when they were cooking their meals."
"And then, combined with the cola from before..."
A glint of light flashed in Li Shimin's eyes.
Having served in the military, he naturally knew what the two people in front of him represented.
If you give the soldiers a bowl of instant noodles and some cola before the battle starts!
At that time... what terrifying fighting power will those soldiers unleash...?
Li Shimin pondered this in his heart, took another sip of hot soup, and looked at the noodle bucket as if something was missing.
Then he looked at Chen Mo.
"Does Manager Chen have any wine here?"
"liquor?"
Chen Mo pondered for a moment.
"I'll go down and check; I think there are still a few bottles left."
After saying that, Chen Mo went downstairs and came back a short while later with two 125ml red bottles.
"Alright, this will do! At least it's alcohol."
Chen Mo muttered to himself.
He doesn't drink alcohol, but he does drink strong liquor, so he bought a lot and stored it in his room.
As a result, he found that he had nowhere to vent his frustrations after drinking, so he simply stopped drinking altogether.
So it's been kept until now, and it just so happens to have a use.
Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling curiously picked up the bottle and examined it.
The bottle is exquisitely crafted, completely transparent, and you can vaguely see the amber-colored liquid inside.
A red paper label with words and pictures was attached to the bottle.
"This wine... is actually served in such a crystal-clear glass bottle? How extravagant!"
Fang Xuanling couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.
In his eyes, this bottle alone was worth a fortune.
Li Shimin, however, was more concerned with the contents. He shook the bottle, a hint of dissatisfaction appearing on his face.
"Isn't this too little wine?"
Chen Mo chuckled.
"This liquor is called Jinjiu, and its slogan is 'Jinjiu is good, but don't overindulge!'"
"The alcohol content isn't high, but it's a medicinal wine, so drinking it might have some health benefits."
As he spoke, he helped the two of them unscrew the metal bottle caps.
As soon as the bottle cap was opened, a unique aroma, a blend of the fragrance of herbs and the scent of alcohol, wafted out.
With a hint of anticipation, Li Shimin picked up the small bottle and carefully took a sip.
The initial taste is sweet and smooth, with a distinct herbal flavor and a subtle, almost imperceptible bitterness, followed by the warm sensation of alcohol.
The taste was quite peculiar, unlike any other wine he had ever tasted, lacking some of its sharpness.
"Hmm...this wine has a rather peculiar taste."
Li Shimin savored the moment, raising an eyebrow slightly.
"Sweet with a hint of bitterness, rich in medicinal aroma, and the alcohol doesn't seem very strong."
As he spoke, he tilted his head back and took another big gulp, feeling the warm medicinal wine slide down his throat.
Fang Xuanling also took a bite, savored it carefully, and then commented.
"It has a mellow taste and a medicinal aroma, suggesting it might be a tonic wine?"
Fang Xuanling frowned.
"But the sweetness... seems a bit too strong."
Chen Mo smiled but didn't elaborate on the subtleties.
"Then I'll go downstairs first. If you need anything, just call me or come find me."
Li Shimin nodded.
He wiped the sweat from his cheeks and asked.
"I wonder if the shop has hot water so I can take a shower."
Chen Mo stopped and led Li Shimin to the bathroom.
He walked to the sink and turned on the tap.
Looking at the clear water flowing from the tap, Li Shimin was slightly taken aback, then turned his head to look at the toilet next to him.
"Since there's something that comes out of the water, what is it for?"
Li Shimin pointed to the toilet and asked in confusion.
"This is for using the toilet."
Chen Mo walked to the toilet, demonstrated it, and then pressed the button.
As soon as the button was pressed, water gushed out of the toilet, forming a vortex that swept down.
Li Shimin: ...
Li Shimin: ? ? ?
Almost instantly, Li Shimin's face turned green.
Luckily, he didn't use that to wash his hands, otherwise he would have really made a fool of himself.
The problem is, who would have thought that this thing was actually used for toileting!
In his Great Tang Dynasty, let alone ordinary people, even he couldn't afford such luxury!
"And if I want to take a shower..."
Chen Mo opened the inner door and pointed to the shower head above.
"Pull this open, there are colors underneath. Twist it towards the red side to get hot water, and towards the blue side to get cold water. As for what temperature you want, you'll have to adjust it yourself."
After saying that, Chen Mo demonstrated it in front of Li Shimin.
Li Shimin was stunned when he saw the steaming hot water coming out of the showerhead.
"Don't you guys need to heat water for showering?"
"No need!"
Chen Mo pointed to the ceiling.
"The water is heated in advance by solar energy."
"Solar energy?"
Li Shimin heard another new word.
"It's about collecting the sun's energy and then converting it into heat energy."
"..."
Li Shimin remained silent for a while.
Although he didn't know what energy was, he could roughly understand what Chen Mo meant, and couldn't help but sigh.
"I never imagined that you people from the future could not only control electricity, but also control the sun!"
"It's alright! Once controlled nuclear fusion technology is developed, that's when we can truly control the sun."
Chen Mo complained.
"We're just making use of the scraps of the sun."
Li Shimin nodded, and Chen Mo, seeing that it was about time, spoke up.
"Then I'll go downstairs first. If you need anything, you can come down and find me, or you can ring the bell to call me."
"I should be here as long as it's not midnight."
