Chapter 266 Grapes
While Ying Zheng was dealing with the memorial here, Ying Changsheng strode in from the side.

At this moment, he was holding a plate of fresh fruit in his hand. This fruit was no other fruit, it was called grapes.

Grapes are actually not native to China.

This kind of thing is a specialty of the Dawan Kingdom in the Western Regions.

In fact, in history, Zhang Qian brought this grape over when he was on his mission to the Western Regions.

But at this moment, the Great Qin Empire has already begun to explore the Western Regions.

Moreover, the Silk Road in the Western Regions has also been opened up. Under such circumstances, all kinds of rare and exotic fruits from the Western Regions were also brought to the Great Qin Empire.

And grapes are one of them, after cultivation, the Great Qin Empire at this moment.

A large number of grapes have been planted.

Inside Xianyang Palace.

A lot of grapes have been successfully planted in the Royal Garden, and many grape trellises have been set up. After the grapes are grown.

Naturally, we should eat well.

Right now it is the time of autumn and the grapes have already matured. At this moment, Ying Changsheng brought a large basin of grapes that had been cleaned and sent them to Ying Zheng.

"Father, please taste this grape!"

"Good good!"

Ying Zheng glanced at the grapes that came before him and couldn't help but nodded. Then he picked one off from the grapes, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it, and nodded in satisfaction.

"The taste is mainly good. It seems that there are many good things in the Western Regions. For example, the grapes are delicious!"

Ying Zheng's voice fell.

Ying Changsheng on the side nodded slightly.

Then, he couldn't help but frown and said.

"It's a pity that this grape can't be preserved!"

Well, grapes have one disadvantage, and that disadvantage is nothing else than that they are not easy to preserve.

Grapes are easy to rot. Under such circumstances, this precious fruit cannot be preserved for a long time.

Unlike apples, fruits can be stored for several months without any problem.

Not like oranges.

Resistant to preservation.

Under such circumstances, Ying Changsheng will inevitably express such emotion.

At the same time, Ying Zheng said with a smile.

"Grapes can't be preserved for a long time. Then you kid has never been very capable. How can you solve this problem now?"

"This one……"

After hearing this question.

Ying Changsheng frowned unavoidably, and he thought about it carefully.

Then he said to Yingzheng.

"This matter is really difficult to solve. Erchen thinks about it carefully. If you want to keep it for a long time, you can only use one and a half of this grape, and that is to freeze it with ice!"

Well, the easiest way to preserve grapes is to freeze them.

Freezing, like most fruits, is actually the way to go.

But the problem is that if you freeze it, you need to consume a lot of ice cubes.

After hearing Ying Changsheng's proposal, Ying Zheng couldn't help shaking his head.

"How much ice cubes do you need to consume for refrigeration? Even if you use saltpeter to make ice cubes, the cost will still not be small!"

Ying Zheng's voice fell.

Ying Changsheng on the side seemed to have thought of something, he opened his mouth hastily and said.

"Father and son came up with another solution. This method can't preserve grapes for a long time, but it can make grapes become something else and be preserved for a long time!"

"what is this?"

After hearing Ying Changsheng's answer.

Ying Zheng couldn't help showing a surprised expression.

He hurriedly opened his mouth and asked.

"What can be made? Apart from eating these grapes as fruit, what else is there to do?"

"He can be used to make wine!"

Ying Changsheng said with a smile, at this moment, he thought of that, in later generations of Western countries, very popular wine, that is, the so-called red wine.

In addition, Ying Changsheng thought of another thing, that is.

raisin.

Well, after putting wine and raisins together, it can completely solve the serious problem of too many grapes in the Great Qin Empire.

In this situation.

After thinking of these two things, let alone Ying Changsheng.

It was very exciting, in his opinion.

It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten raisins.Since traveling to the Qin Dynasty.

Ying Changsheng, it has been a long time since he has neither eaten raisins nor drank wine.

Needless to say at this moment, after suddenly thinking of these two things, he still misses them a little. Right now, the grapes planted in the imperial garden are about to rot.

Naturally, Ying Changsheng must be quick to make some raisins and wine.

He opened his mouth and said to Ying Zheng who was at the side.

"Father, my son, I will leave first. This raisin wine, my son, has to make it quickly. After the production is successful, I will send some to my father to taste!!"

After speaking, Ying Changsheng stepped back quickly.

After leaving, Ying Changsheng Palace entered the imperial garden. At this moment, there are especially strong grapes growing on the grape trellis in the imperial garden.

Right now, bunches of purple grapes are shining brightly there, tempting people to taste its deliciousness.

At this moment, after Ying Changsheng walked over, he immediately ordered the eunuchs on the side to pick all the grapes.

Then he ordered people to prepare the container for brewing wine.

At this moment, when the large tanks used for brewing wine are prepared.

Ying Changsheng then ordered the eunuchs on the side to bring the grapes that had been cleaned in advance.

Put it in a jar, seal it, and brew more than a dozen jars of this wine in succession.

Ying Changsheng also has its own uses for the remaining grapes, and she is in the open space at the moment.

Use the red bricks that have just been fired to build houses with spaces one after another.

At this moment, the inside has been set up, a bamboo frame.

The grapes that have been picked right now are cleaned by Ying Changsheng.

A bunch of them are placed on the bamboo poles inside.

It was so big and began to dry slowly, so that bunches of delicious raisins came out.

While Ying Changsheng was doing this.

Shen Lian, who galloped all the way back from Baiyue, finally escorted Zhao Tuo back to Xianyang City.

Right now inside the Xianyang Palace.

Looking at Zhao Tuo who was kneeling on the ground in front of him, dejected, he had already lost the air he had before.

Ying Zheng let out a sneer.

"Look at what you look like now, what qualifications do you have to become a king on your own!"

After finishing speaking, Ying Zheng waved his hand.

Said to Prime Minister Li Si who was on the side.

"According to the current rules of my court, how should I punish this guy!"

"Your Majesty should report that he should be quartered by five horses and his chariot should be torn apart!"

After hearing Ying Zheng's voice, Li Si, the prime minister next to him, opened his mouth and said without thinking.

After hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded and said immediately.

"Then follow what you said and punish him!"

"No!"

Prime Minister Li Si nodded, and then retreated.

Ready to deal with the bastard Zhao Tuo.
