Daqin: I was overheard by Zulong

Chapter 16 Winning Liman

"Madam wants Liman to ask Brother Yi to go to the morning court? No problem, it's on Liman!"

Ying Liman, who was only ten years old, was the youngest daughter of Ying Zheng. At this time, she was nodding her head at Mrs. Qiongzhi solemnly.

Ying Liman, like Zhao Yi, was raised in the Huangzhuang outside the city, and Zhao Yi was one of the few people who valued him in the Zhuangzi.

Zhao Yi has the physique of a spoiled girl, and he and Ying Liman have similar interests, as they are both people who like to eat.

As a time traveler, Zhao Yi is too lazy to use his brain to worry about national affairs, but he is 120% persistent when it comes to eating, especially with Ying Liman in front of him. No matter what his sister wants to eat, he will do it.

"Little princess, I'm counting on you!" Mrs. Qiongzhi was relieved when Liman agreed.

"You're welcome, Madam. Liman will go find Brother Yi right now." After saying goodbye to Mrs. Qiongzhi, Ying Liman ran happily towards Zhao Yi's residence.

As a result, as soon as he ran out the door, he bumped into Ying Zheng who was walking around in the village.

"My little princess, where are you going?" Ying Zheng smiled suddenly when he saw his little daughter.

Ying Zheng actually paid more attention to the children raised outside the palace.

Therefore, when Liman saw Ying Zheng, she jumped into Ying Zheng's arms with a shout of joy.

"Father, you haven't come to see Liman for a long time, can you go and play with brother Yi with me?"

"Zhao Yi?" Ying Zheng frowned, and immediately understood, "Madam Qiongzhi asked you to go?"

Ying Liman nodded without defense, "Well, Madam said she couldn't persuade brother Yi to go to court, so let me go and ask him to go to court."

Ying Zheng laughed dumbly when he heard this and said, "Mrs. Qiongzhi can't even scream, but you, a little girl, can do it?"

"Father looks down on people!" Ying Liman protested delicately: "Brother Yi listens to Liman in everything, he is willing to do whatever Liman asks him to do, and he is willing to cook for Liman whatever Liman wants to eat."

Seeing that his youngest daughter was speaking seriously, Ying Zheng suddenly became interested.

Ying Liman, on the other hand, told Ying Zheng her past with Zhao Yi carefully, "Father, you don't even know that brother Yi's cooking is delicious, and he can also farm!"

"Some of the things Brother Yi grows are beautiful and some are ugly, but the dishes they make are all delicious!"

"Compared with brother Yi, the royal chef in the palace is far behind..."

"Is it better than the royal chefs in the palace?" Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "What delicious food do you have? Tell me about it, father!"

"There are French fries, chicken chops, yes, and claypot rice, all of which are delicious..." Ying Liman looked excited, but Ying Zheng was fooled.

French fries, what are those?Chicken chop?Claypot rice?What is that?Can you really eat it?

Just hearing the name, Ying Zheng was stunned. Seeing his father's surprised expression, Ying Liman was stunned, and hurriedly introduced him.

"Father, french fries are food fried in potato oil. They are crispy and soft. With brother Yi's dipping sauce, they are simply delicious!"

"Chicken steak is made from chicken, but it uses part of the chicken body. It's also delicious."

"There's also claypot rice. Uh, Liman can't tell how it's made. Father and I will go to see it together."

Ying Zheng was told by Ying Liman that he was hungry, so he simply picked up his daughter and walked briskly to Zhao Yi's residence.

At this time, Zhao Yi was still lying on the crib he had built under the grape vines, enjoying the cool breeze in the evening.

"My lord, Princess Liman is here!" The butler rushed to report at this time.

Before that, in front of Zhao Yi, the name of princess would not be added, but now that Zhao Yi's identity has changed, naturally he can no longer avoid it.

Ying Liman is smart and cute. She has been very clingy to Zhao Yi since she was a child. She almost grew up with Zhao Yi, so Zhao Yi dotes on this younger sister very much.

"Hurry up and prepare the ingredients. I'll go and greet you personally." Zhao Yi jumped off the shaker, and the housekeeper followed the instructions and went to make arrangements.

Not long after, Zhao Yi saw Ying Zheng walking in with Ying Liman in his arms, and his smile froze instantly.

[Why is this guy here?Does it come from questioning sin in your mind?He has the nerve! 】

[I didn't bother him, but he came to the door by himself, is it interesting?He is obviously the emperor, so he must be doing business on his own! 】

[He still lied to me to find a relationship to make up for my title, to make up for the lack of supplies, and to make me become a chariot general for no reason. What is he trying to do? 】

【Now he still dares to hold Liman to me, what on earth is he thinking? 】

Ying Zheng hadn't heard Zhao Yi slander him for many days, and when he heard it suddenly, he felt kind.

Even if they were all scolding him, Ying Zheng already felt pleasing to his ears, and directly ignored Zhao Yi's resentful eyes, and put Ying Liman on the ground.

"Brother Yi, I came to you to prepare delicious food. Father doesn't know what French fries are or what claypot rice is. Tell him quickly!" Ying Liman didn't have any scheming and directly informed Zhao Yi of her intention. .

"That's it." Zhao Yi fondly touched Ying Liman's head, "I will bring my father here in the future and let me know in advance so that I can prepare."

Zhao Yi said it politely, but in his heart he was almost furious.

[I knew something was wrong. Isn't he the emperor? He is so leisurely and doesn't need to review memorials? 】

[I heard that this guy reviews more than 100 catties of memorials every day. For his hard work, he can make French fries for him. 】

[But even if you kill him, you can’t tell him that French fries are made of potatoes, and you can’t let him know about Gansu sweet potatoes. If you want him to know that these two things can produce thousands of catties per mu, he will definitely follow me. Let's do idle fish! 】

[I still want to find a chance to let him fuck me with my Shizhong and the General Cheqi, but I don't have the time to spend with him! 】

Ying Zheng was quite happy at first, but he didn't expect that his son cared about him, knew that he was working hard, and was willing to cook for him.

But hearing the back, Ying Zheng's expression changed instantly.

What is a potato, what is a sweet potato, and it can produce more than a thousand catties per mu. Is there really such a crop in this world?
Ying Zheng became excited instantly. If what Zhao Yi said was true, many problems would be solved.

Now that there is a severe drought in Shu, Daqin's granary is almost dead, and the court's relief is limited. Yingzheng knows that there will be a food shortage sooner or later.

But Daqin now has 30 troops in the north who need to eat, and the victims of the disaster also need to eat. If the food shortage problem is not resolved, Yingzheng will surely have trouble sleeping and eating.

But Zhao Yi actually said here that he has grain crops that can produce thousands of catties per mu. How can Ying Zheng not be shocked or surprised by this?So Ying Zheng's eyes turned green when he looked at Zhao Yi.

"Yi'er, can you take my father to see if there are any potatoes that can be used to make French fries?"

Hearing Ying Zheng's words, Zhao Yi's eyes suddenly darkened. He was really afraid of what would happen. If he had known better, he shouldn't have told Ying Liman that French fries are made of potatoes.

But how did he know that Ying Liman never told Ying Zheng.
