Chapter 339 Tribute Rice
Hearing what Qiao Simei said, Li Aiguo's face instantly became a little unnatural, and a trace of embarrassment arose in his heart.
He understood that he did have extremely high demands on life and only ate tribute rice and drank mountain spring water.
After all, he possesses wealth that is unimaginable to ordinary people. This amount of money is so much that he cannot spend it in a lifetime, or even in ten lifetimes.
What's the point of working so hard to make money if you can't enjoy the beauty of life?
However, the tribute rice mentioned by Qiao Simei is actually just a general term, or it can be said that it is Li Aiguo’s unique name for high-quality rice.
In China, there are many types of tribute rice, but the output is extremely rare. Even with Li Aiguo's status, he cannot guarantee that he will only eat one type of tribute rice for every meal.
Therefore, he usually tastes different types to satisfy his pursuit of quality.
This persistence in quality of life is not just for enjoyment, but also a reward for his hard work.
In the process of pursuing wealth, he has put in too much sweat and effort. Now that he has it all, he just wants to feel the beauty of life.
However, Qiao Simei's words made him feel a little embarrassed. After all, they were said in front of outsiders, and there was always a sense of pretense.
However, Li Aiguo really likes tribute rice. After all, it tastes really good and he likes a lot of it.
Wuchang Rice: Wuchang rice, used by the imperial court of the Qing Dynasty, is like a rare flower in the 5,000-year-old rice culture of China. It is a miracle created by the magic of nature and the essence of water and soil. However, this Wuchang rice, which is not available on the market, is more like a precious secret, which makes people full of endless yearning and desire for it.
Xiangshui tribute rice: Xiangshui tribute rice grown in Bohai Town, Ning'an City, Mudanjiang, carries a thousand-year history. Since 705 AD, the Bohai Kingdom has paid tribute to Emperor Zhongzong of Tang Dynasty. This tradition continues to this day, witnessing the vicissitudes of time and people's cherishment of it.
Wannian tribute rice: cultivated from generation to generation and paid tribute year after year, Wannian tribute rice is not only a kind of food, but also a heritage of emotion and accumulation of culture.
Donglan Black Rice: Wild black rice from the high-altitude mountainous area of Donglan County, Guangxi, has become a rare rice variety after long-term selection and breeding by farmers. Every grain of Donglan Black Rice contains the hard work and wisdom of farmers.
Zhuozhou tribute rice: The Zhuozhou tribute rice produced in the eight rice fields used by Emperor Qianlong seems to carry the memory of history and royal dignity.
Zengcheng Silk Rice: Zengcheng Silk Rice is like jasper among rice and is a top-quality rice. Its delicacy and fragrance make people feel the gift of nature and people's pursuit of food.
Yutian Rouge Rice is the best rice, expensive and delicious. However, its production is very small, which makes people feel sorry for its preciousness and deliciousness. Even food lovers like Li Aiguo can hardly taste much of it every year. Every bite of Rouge Rice is like tasting the preciousness of time and the brevity of beauty.
The amount of Yutian Rouge Rice distributed to Li Aiguo every year is only a few dozen kilograms.
After all, this thing is extremely expensive and rare, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is extinct, but the color is really beautiful and it tastes really sweet in the mouth.
Even if Li Aiguo was awesome, he couldn't eat much. After all, he couldn't monopolize all the Rouge Rice.
If that were the case, it would be too ugly. Even if he had the protection of a system, he probably wouldn't survive. After all, he wasn't invulnerable to swords and guns, let alone being able to contend with missiles.
But there are indeed a lot of other tribute rice. If you add them together, a family of ten can afford to eat them every day.
But there are not 10 people in Li Aiguo's family. At most, there are only him and Qin Jingru.
Therefore, the little girl Qiao Simei also enjoyed a great feast and ate a lot of tribute rice, so he knew it very well.
As for spring water, it is very common to Li Aiguo. After all, his Aurora International already produces it.
He only drinks the best, the kind that costs dozens of dollars a bottle, which in this day and age could be worth thousands of dollars.
Moreover, all this water comes from clear springs on the snow-capped mountains. It is so pure that it is free of any pollution and can even be drunk directly.
Even when he is outside, Li Aiguo will never drink boiled water.
For him, the worst choice is ordinary mountain spring water. For some reason, boiled water always has a strange taste in his mouth.
Many people say they can't taste it, but Li Aiguo can keenly detect it. Therefore, Li Aiguo is very particular about eating and drinking.
Qiao Simei knew this very well. After all, as Li Aiguo's secretary, she needed to take good care of his daily life.
Therefore, Li Aiguo's life can be described as extremely luxurious, but he doesn't feel anything, because he is rich.
However, Qiao Simei's words were like a bombshell, causing a slight commotion at the table.
Everyone was surprised. Before Li Aiguo could speak, Brother Qiao couldn't wait to speak first:
"Oh my God! Young man, is what Simei said true? You actually ate Gongmi! Don't you eat anything else? You only drink mountain spring water. Is your salary enough for you? Is there anyone else at home?"
Qiao Zuwang's series of questions came like a string of cannonballs, leaving Li Aiguo overwhelmed.
Qiao Yicheng and Qiao Erqiang also looked at Li Aiguo in surprise, their eyes full of doubt. Then their eyes all focused on Qiao Simei's face, as if asking:
Are you serious? Are you bragging? Gongmi is not something that ordinary people can eat!
Let’s not talk about whether you have money to buy it. Even if you have money, where can you buy it? This thing cannot be bought with money.
Often before they are produced, they have already been reserved in advance by special groups of people. Even the land for planting is taken away and sealed off for safekeeping. How can you possibly buy them?
Qiao Simei realized that she might have said something wrong. She felt flustered and couldn't help but stick out her cute little tongue, then secretly glanced at Li Aiguo.
She found that Li Aiguo's face was just a little embarrassed and not angry, so she patted her already large chest gently and felt relieved.
When Li Aiguo heard what Qiao Zuwang said, he really wanted to explain. He opened his mouth, but didn't know where to start.
If I say more, I'm afraid others will think I'm showing off; if I don't say anything, I'm worried that it will seem impolite.
After all, Qiao Zuwang, as the host, had asked him a question, so it would be inappropriate to ignore him. He felt torn and fell silent for a while.
