Traveling through Great Qin: Father Qin Shihuang!

"pork?"

Hearing Zhao Che's introduction, Ying Zheng's hand shook slightly.

Pork is the name of people in Chu State before Ying Zheng ruled the world.

Since Chu was destroyed, Yingzheng abolished the original writing and language of the six kingdoms.

Therefore, people nowadays are more accustomed to calling pigs 豕 (shi).

Zhao Che grew up in the state of Qin, logically speaking, he should have had no contact with people from the state of Chu.

But he would subconsciously call a hog a pig, which made Ying Zheng suspicious.

"Could it be the remnants of those six kingdoms?"

Yingzheng subconsciously thought about it, wondering if Zhao Che had been brainwashed by the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, and that's why he was clamoring for rebellion all day long.

"Hurry up, Dad, these meals are already hot, and they will be even more unpalatable when they get cold."

Seeing that Ying Zheng was holding a piece of pork between his hands, Zhao Che didn't move his mouth, so he reminded him aloud.

"Okay, then I'll try Che'er's craft."

Ying Zheng put the chopsticks into his mouth, and when his tongue touched the crispy, salty twice-cooked pork, his eyes lit up immediately.

"This smell..."

Twice-cooked pork is famous for being salty, fragrant and spicy, but the food of the Qin Dynasty is particularly bland.

Yingzheng has lived for so many years, and this is the first time he knows that food can have so many flavors, but he is at a loss for words and doesn't know how to describe it.

After thinking about it a few times, Ying Zheng extended his chopsticks to the next dish.

"What is this?"

Ying Zheng looked at the plate of shredded hot and sour potatoes, which he had never seen before.

"It's potatoes, a grain, and it's very productive."

"How tall is it?"

Ying Zheng asked casually, and conveniently put a chopstick into his mouth.

"The yield per mu is about forty or fifty shi."

Zhao Che can only give a rough figure. After all, although the vitality of potatoes is tenacious, the yield is also related to various factors such as environmental seeds. This is a relatively pertinent figure.

"Pfft, cough, cough!"

As soon as Yingzheng's potato shreds were put into his mouth, he felt a burst of spiciness, which made him a little unbearable for someone who had never tasted spiciness.

Hearing Zhao Che casually mention the news that the yield of potatoes is forty or fifty shi per mu, he was choked up all of a sudden.

"Che'er, what did you say just now that the yield of potatoes is per mu?"

"Forty or fifty stones, is that a lot?"

"is it a lot?"

Seeing Zhao Che's understatement, Meng Yi couldn't help but grit his teeth, wishing to give this kid a stick.

What is the concept of forty or fifty shi per mu, so let's put it this way.

In the place with the most fertile water and soil in Daqin, assuming that the weather is favorable and the harvest is good, the wheat and millet planted will probably yield two stones per mu.

As for this potato, the output has directly increased by more than 20 times, which is simply going to heaven.

"Che'er, tell Weifu that these potatoes may be a staple food?"

Ying Zheng's already excited hands were trembling at this moment, he pinched Zhao Che's shoulder and started to question him.

"Father, calm down. Of course, this potato can be used as a staple food, but you can't eat too much, or you will become malnourished."

"Besides, there are many ways to make these potatoes. In addition to stir-frying, they can also be made into potato cakes, vermicelli, or directly steamed."

"Now Dad knows my confidence. As long as we hold potatoes, we won't be afraid that we won't be able to recruit soldiers and horses. We only need 50... no, [-] people, and we can easily sweep the entire Great Qin."

……

Ying Zheng already believed Zhao Che's words a little. If everything he said was true, he would indeed have the ability to overthrow Daqin.

Besides, now that Ying Zheng also has a target of suspicion, then this matter has to be taken seriously.

"Che'er, although you have weapons and food now, the matter of rebellion is of great importance after all, and it is best not to have such thoughts for the time being."

After Ying Zheng hesitated for a while, he still decided to appease Zhao Che first, and then sent someone to investigate whether it was the remnants of the Six Kingdoms who were behind the scenes.

"Father, of course we need to prepare in advance for rebellion. There is less than a year left before Qin Shihuang's sudden death. Before that, we have to recruit 50 troops and train in advance. Time is tight and the task is heavy.”

Seeing that Ying Zheng was showing some signs of letting go, Zhao Che quickly spoke while the iron was hot.

"Okay, since you have said that, then I will help you. I already have a group of masters under my command, who are people who can be absolutely trusted. I will let them come to you later."

Ying Zheng originally wanted to procrastinate, but after thinking about it, he might as well use the trick.

Since Zhao Che wanted to rebel, then he had his way.

It's just that the people he recruited for Zhao Che were not those with evil intentions, but the elites of Qin Dynasty who were completely loyal to him.

By doing so, firstly, it just blocked Zhao Che's mouth, and secondly, he could take the opportunity to insert his own people.

Now Ying Zheng no longer intends to take Zhao Che back to the palace after being crowned, because he doesn't know how many cards he still has.

And, most importantly, those who secretly spread rumors to persuade Zhao Che to rebel are the ones Ying Zheng wants to kill the most.

"Father, just let it go, don't worry, I'm your own son anyway, can I still cheat you?"

Seeing that Ying Zheng agreed, Zhao Che directly recruited a group of absolutely loyal masters for himself, and his tone of speech became much more relaxed.

And the two people on the side, when they heard this, they could only smile helplessly.

The son wants to overthrow Lao Tzu's world, and he keeps saying that Lao Tzu will die suddenly next year. If this is not cheating, then the world is full of filial sons.

"Okay, eat, eat, and crown you after eating."

Ying Zheng really didn't want to talk about the rebellion anymore, so he quickly changed the subject.

There is one thing to say, Zhao Che's cooking skills are still very good, especially the novel cooking method of stir-frying. It is also the first time for Ying Zheng and Meng Yi to try it.

Ying Zheng also tried the potato cakes and vermicelli made from potatoes.

After eating, Ying Zheng also believed Zhao Che's words, potatoes can really be used as a staple food, and he was very hungry.

As for saying that eating potatoes for a long time has no effect, this is nothing at all.

What kind of hard life did the heads of Guizhou in Daqin live? When they were hungry, they didn't even have to eat grass roots and tree bark.

Being able to eat a full meal is an unattainable dream for most of the heads of Guizhou. As for nutrition, it is not something they consider at all.

"I'm full. The taste of this stir-fried dish is the best I've ever tasted. Even those imperial chefs in Xianyang Palace are far inferior to the food cooked by you, Che'er."

Zhao Che's food was so delicious that Ying Zheng ate too much by accident, and his stomach was so round.
