Royal Gold Magistrate

Fangzheng walked to Emperor Jing's side in a big stride: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry."

As he spoke, he picked up a chopsticks of shredded potatoes and stuffed them into his mouth.

While chewing, he said: "This dish is not poisonous, but too spicy. This kind of spiciness is different from the spiciness of common dogwood and pepper."

Li Yuanzhao took a quick bite and said, "Father, no problem! I have eaten at Lao Fang's place before!"

Emperor Jing waved his hand calmly: "Understood, what a fuss."

Guo Tianyang stood there in embarrassment.

Any special spicy, new seasoning?Another moth appeared in Taoyuan County?

If you do this, it makes our family look like an ignorant idiot.

"Your Majesty, this servant is eating... there seems to be beef in it."

"Your Majesty! There is indeed beef in these dishes, but this beef was unfortunately killed in Taoyuan County's cannon test yesterday, and it happens to be used as an auxiliary ingredient for new dishes for everyone to taste today." Fang Zhengyi hurriedly explained.

Emperor Jing nodded, raised his hand and said: "Well, let's move your chopsticks, you don't have to be cautious. Can Fang Qing still harm me? Eat."

After all, he picked up a piece of potato with his chopsticks and chewed it carefully in his mouth.

After tasting for a while, he exclaimed: "It tastes good! This dish is wonderful, and it has a wonderful taste that I have never tasted before."

His Majesty is well-informed and knowledgeable to give such a high evaluation?

Now that all doubts were gone, everyone stopped hesitating and started eating with chopsticks.

The dining table still inherits the extravagant style of Taoyuan County. Every hard dish is made of thick oil and red sauce, and the technology is not all hard work.

The stewed beef with tomatoes is full of heat and can be picked up with chopsticks.

The crispy beef trembled between the chopsticks, and the rich gravy dripped down.

Even the soup with meat stuffed in the mouth, in addition to the overflowing meaty fragrance, there is also the fragrance of tomato, which makes people appetite.

Li Yuanzhao has always disregarded his image, flaunting his shoulders.

Emperor Jing didn't even carry it, he was in a good mood today and even tried a few new dishes, and he was very satisfied.

Especially when I taste spicy dishes, I like it even more.

The spiciness is not too strong, but the slightly spicy stimulation undoubtedly raises the appetite to another level.

Others behaved similarly, changing cups while feasting.

Occasionally discuss the taste of the dishes.

Someone asked Fang Zhengyi what ingredients this was, but Fang Zhengyi waved his hands and smiled without answering.

I don't have time to answer now, I'm too busy serving food for my father-in-law!

After three tours of wine and five flavors of dishes, the atmosphere is still full of enthusiasm.

Everyone present slowed down their meal speed, occasionally took a bite, with a faint sense of fullness on their faces.

Fang Zhengyi stood up at the right time and said loudly: "Are you all satisfied with this meal?"

"Satisfied." Many people echoed.

Listening to novel songs, eating novel dishes, plus the previous novel weapons.

It's a new boat experience all day long, what's not to like?

This experience, no one dares to believe it when you go out to brag!

"Master Fang, just now many people asked you what we ate today, should we reveal the secret now?"

"Could it be that this is a specialty of Taoyuan County?"

Fangzheng laughed: "Okay, since everyone has finished eating, then I won't hide it."

"There are three kinds of ingredients that you eat today that you can't see on the market. One of them is potatoes, which are stewed with beef."

"The second is called tomato and tastes like fruit."

"The third one is called pepper, so I don't need to explain more?"

"These three crops were all obtained from King Wu. At the beginning, no one knew the function of these crops. It was not until Taoyuan County planted a mature crop that they learned about it."

"Today I'm going to talk about the first kind, potatoes! This thing was also obtained by King Wu from the West. After being cultivated by people, he found that the yield per mu is more than a thousand catties, which is not weaker than sweet potatoes. And it is the staple food. It can completely replace the main crop of my scene!"

Yiqianjin per mu! ! ?

Emperor Jing's eyes suddenly flashed two bright lights, looked at the potatoes on the table, and quickly picked up another chopstick.

The ministers also picked up their chopsticks and rummaged through the leftovers for potatoes.

"What Fang Qing said is true?" Emperor Jing couldn't believe it, and poked the potato cubes on the plate twice with his chopsticks.

This ordinary appearance, it is hard to imagine that it is another super high-yielding crop after sweet potatoes!

"Your Majesty dare not say anything false. These potatoes have been carefully cultivated in a greenhouse in Taoyuan County. It's just that the time is short and the harvest is not much, so I can't take His Majesty and your colleagues to visit the field, but there is no problem in eating a meal." Together, Fangzheng took out a raw potato from his sleeve: "Look, this potato has many characteristics similar to sweet potatoes in terms of appearance and planting method, but the taste is completely different."

"Potatoes can be used not only as a staple food but also to make wine!"

In fact, sweet potatoes can also be used to make wine, and what is brewed is the legendary sweet potato burn.

But that thing is really bad, damn it, open the door for the bad, it's so bad!

Therefore, only the people at the bottom of the society will make some sweet potato burns when there is a surplus of food.

Even the vast majority of these upper-class nobles have never tasted what it is like, only heard that it is very bad.

Everyone looked at the potato in Fangzheng's hand, lost their minds for a while, and the air gradually became still.

Li Yansong stood up tremblingly, his face was flushed, and the corners of his eyes were a little moist. He cupped his hands towards Emperor Jing and said, "Your Majesty, my Dajing will produce a thousand catties per mu. If Master Fang's words are true...then my Dajing You will never suffer from famine! This is an inexhaustible achievement, the old minister congratulates Your Majesty!"

"Although the yield of sweet potatoes is high, long-term eating can cause stomach discomfort. Potatoes do not have a distinct taste. According to this, the two complement each other. Will everyone in Dajing be able to eat three meals a day in the future? Even four meals? This is a realm that even a sage can't do!"

"..."

Emperor Jing's complexion was ruddy.

Pick up the potatoes on the plate and stuff them into the mouth, close your eyes and savor carefully.

This subtle taste combined with the touching voice in the ear brought Emperor Jing into a state of ecstasy...

"Sweet potatoes yield a thousand catties per mu! Potatoes yield a thousand catties per mu! Could it be that there are so many miraculous crops in the West? Then how many people do they have? Don't they have no worries about famine since early?" Suddenly a discordant voice came.

The monarchs and ministers immersed in joy were also suddenly awakened.

yes?On Dajing's side, he was happy to pick up other people's leftovers.

So what should the development of the local place look like?

Fang Zhengyi was about to explain, but he didn't expect these guys to react so quickly.

I actually added a play to myself!

But fortunately everything is on the right track, Fangzheng stood up together and said: "Not bad! Since everyone is aware of this problem, I'll just say it straight!"

"The reason why I brought you to this meal is to let everyone know some overseas news within my ability."

"Not just potatoes, there is also a crop called corn overseas, and the yield per mu is also over a thousand catties!"

"I once saw a book on King Wu's ship..."

The officials were speechless.

What book did you read again?How much did you see?Can't you squeeze it all at once?piece by piece!

"This book is called Marco Polo's Travels! Marco Polo is an adventurer from an island country who was accidentally exiled to the West. He once recorded in the book that the land of the West is full of milk and honey, full of minerals and treasures, marble palaces, beauties Like a cloud."
