Chapter 2 Potatoes?poison?Fetish?

"Let's raise pigs." Qin Yang said suddenly.

"When the dock matters are settled, we can open a pig farm."

"Pig farm?" Zhang Yunji immediately showed a refusal expression when he heard it.

"My lord, the smell of pork is stinky, this is not a good thing for canning!"

Qin Yang smiled and said, "Pork smells bad? Mr. Zhang, you have never eaten delicious pork!"

No, is there really delicious pork in this world?

Zhang Yunji, who has never wronged himself in the matter of eating, showed suspicion.

It's not that Zhang Yunji doesn't trust Qin Yang, it's the smell of pork that even the common people can't bear!

But for ordinary people, pork is cheap, so even if they find it smelly, they can only tolerate it!

Compared with other meats, at least the smelly pork is also meat!

Stewed out, is also fragrant!

But this is only compared with other foods, compared with other meat, it will be compared to the field!
In this case, people who eat usually twist their noses while eating!

And people who can afford canned meat, do they still care about that little money?

Canned rabbit meat is not too expensive. If you can afford canned rabbit meat, who would buy canned pork just to save money?

This is a downgraded consumption from a delicious thing to a smelly thing!

Seeing that Zhang Yunji didn't believe it, Qin Yang said, "Why, don't you believe it?"

"My lord, since ancient times, pork has been smelly, do you really have a way to make pork not smelly?"

Zhang Yunji asked hesitantly when he saw the king's confident expression.

Although it was hard for him to believe that pork could become delicious, who knew it was Qin Yang who said this!
If it were anyone else, Zhang Yunji would definitely not believe it!
But the person who said this was Qin Yang, Zhang Yunji was really a little bit guilty.

Qin Yang nodded: "I do have a way."

After all, in the future, pork has become a delicacy because of the breeding of barrows!

It even became the most sold meat!

And what this requires is castration technology!
It only needs to be castrated when the piglets are young, as long as the piglets are not dead and raised up, the taste is naturally delicious!
Qin Yang informed Zhang Yunji of this secret in advance, as a reassurance for the other party.

Zhang Yunji was stunned.

"Castration?"

"No, Your Majesty, is this, is this too cruel?"

Zhang Yunji's scalp was a little numb.

He stood up and walked around a few times.

"My lord, I'm afraid the common people may not dare to attack."

Qin Yang disagreed.

This technology was quickly promoted after being passed down.

He didn't know which was the first pig to be castrated, but he knew very well that some people were willing to do this in order to get rich!

Qin Yang directly made a bet: "How about Master Zhang making a bet with me?"

"Then I still choose to believe your Majesty." As a result, Zhang Yunji was not fooled and immediately changed his mind.

After all, he had never lost any bet he had made with the king in the past!
And every time he loses a bet, his workload soars!
The king obviously wants to be lazy and always gambles with the work within a day or two!
After more times, Zhang Yunji is not so easy to deceive.

Qin Yang said with a little disappointment: "Master Zhang, you are not so cute now."

"Really? I am really relieved to be said so by the king." Zhang Yunji replied with the corner of his mouth twitching.

The two joked with each other for a few words, and then went about their own business.

After all, Youzhou is developing rapidly, and as the top management of Youzhou, both of them are very busy.

After Zhang Yunji went back, he learned from his subordinates that the relief food they sent out before caused trouble.

Because a variety of grains were sent together, including some potatoes.

If these potatoes are eaten as relief food, there is absolutely no problem.

But someone happened to withhold these potatoes.

Probably because they want rare goods to live in and ship them to other places.

As a result, the potatoes sprouted midway, but the person who withdrew the potatoes sold the potato sprouts.

As a result, someone vomited and had diarrhea after eating the poisonous potatoes, and things got serious.

Also because someone almost died, this person was still an official, so he handed over the matter as evidence against the promotion of potatoes.

Li Shimin, who was in Chang'an City, had planned to promote potatoes like sweet potatoes after learning about the fetish of potatoes.

Who knew that after receiving the good harvest news from Youzhou on the front foot, they heard about it on the back foot.

Li Shimin sent people down to investigate, and just yesterday, the investigation revealed the whole story.

Because when Youzhou sent food for free, they reminded that potatoes should not be eaten once they germinate. They are poisonous and may kill people.

So after finding out the reason, Youzhou Fang has absolutely no responsibility.

But with it, it gave Youzhou's Tudou a notoriety.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yunji was really furious.

"Master Zhang, Your Majesty invites you to go over."

Zhang Yunji, who just came back from Youzhou Prince's Mansion, went to see Qin Yang again with a full stomach.

Qin Yang obviously also received the news, seeing Zhang Yunji's expression turned ugly.

He persuaded: "Okay, this is the end of the matter, don't be angry."

"My lord, how can this not make people angry? We kindly sent relief food there, and we didn't ask for any benefits, but now there are still people throwing dirty water!"

Zhang Yunji said angrily: "If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have sent the food there!"

"Look at you, are you confused?" Qin Yang poured a cup of tea himself and pushed it to Zhang Yunji.

Zhang Yunji took it and took a few sips.

The fresh tea made Zhang Yunji's tense expression relax.

Qin Yang said: "In a few days, when the wharf is built, a potato banquet will be held directly at the wharf. At that time, everyone can taste our Youzhou potatoes for free. What do you think?"

When Zhang Yunji heard this, he felt that this method was really good.

"Your Majesty has a way. Indeed, they do theirs, and we do ours. Anyone who has really seen potatoes is such a good thing, it is impossible to say that they are poisonous."

"If there are still people who are prejudiced against Tudou, then there is no need to pay attention to it. Such people will not listen to anything they say, and they may even come here to slander Tudou."

"It's good that Mr. Zhang can think so."

As Qin Yang spoke, he took a sip of tea himself.

This tea was brought by Princess Changle from Chang'an.

It is the best tea picked from the tea garden opened by Qin Yang's father.

Not to mention, brewed and drunk, it tastes much better than old old tea.

"What do you think of this tea?" Qin Yang suddenly asked Zhang Yunji.

Zhang Yunji was drinking with his eyes squinted at this time, and when he heard the king's question, he put down the tea bowl.

"The leaves are fresh and tender, the color is very green, the drink is pleasant and refreshing, and the aftertaste is endless. It is simply the ultimate enjoyment."

Zhang Yunji also had the tea sent by Qin Yang, but he still couldn't help but want more.

"Your Majesty, if this tea is widely promoted, the supply may exceed the demand."

"If you have a connection there, I would be willing to buy a few more pounds of tea. I have almost finished the pound of tea you gave me."
