Great Zhou Empress

In front of Zhao Wutong, the pirate leader, Kouhai hooligan, gourmet lover, and pseudo-virtuous woman, are two different plates of yellow croaker.

One dish is braised in soy sauce. Ginger, garlic, chili and soy sauce blend together to create a graceful sauce aroma. When you put it down with chopsticks, the white and tender fish meat is mixed with dark sauce. Every bite is enjoyable.

One plate is grilled fish. The seasoning Xue Zhijing used is nothing special, because most of the seasonings, including pepper, come from Nanyang or Tianzhu countries, only cumin comes from the Western Regions, the Nanyang seasoning, Zhao Wutong and others who went to Nanyang But familiar with it.The difference is the cooking heat, time and seasoning.

Zhao Wutong has a lot of expressions, her facial muscles are especially mobilized, and all kinds of reactions are very precise.

When we met at the beginning of the year, she pretended to be that good woman and tricked Xue Zhijing into saying that she was a businessman from Leizhou and was forced to deliver food to pirates. Xue Zhijing, who is so perceptive, didn't notice anything.

In the end, Zhao Wutong tore off the mask of a good woman in almost a second, and turned into a black-bellied and joking pirate leader.

Lively like two people.

How many times Xue Zhijing thinks back, he feels that it is a pity that Zhao Wutong did not become an actor.

It must be easy to play a multiple personality.

So, from Zhao Wutong's expression, Xue Zhijing could tell that Zhao Wutong was satisfied with the two fish dishes she made, as for the surprise?Yes or no?

Zhao Wutong licked his lips, glanced at Xue Zhijing, and smiled, "What? Are you looking forward to being my Mrs. Yazhai?"

"Is it delicious?" Xue Zhijing ignored her question about Mrs. Yazhai, and only focused on asking the most core question.

Zhao Wutong said slowly, "Well~ it's okay to be reluctant~"

Xue Zhijing finally let out a long sigh of relief, not because she was worried about becoming her Mrs. Yazhai. She had said this countless times two years ago. There is no such thing as being sold to the Liao Kingdom.

She just didn't want to waste time with Zhao Wutong, it's been a long time, what happened to the civil strife in Dacheng, did the Liao Kingdom send troops, is the Queen Mother okay?

All these questions worried Xue Zhijing, making her wish she could fly back to Bianjing immediately.

"It's worse than the braised pork I ate in Jiankang City, but your skills are more than enough for an ordinary chef." It's a pity that Zhao Wutong said slowly again Such words.

Xue Zhijing was not sure whether Zhao Wutong wanted to let her go or not.

"So, you stay in my fleet and cook for me." When Zhao Wutong talked about it, her eyes narrowed with a smile, making one wonder if she felt that Xue Zhijing was not doing well. She stayed because she actually liked Xue Zhijing's craftsmanship in her heart so she was deliberately asked to stay.

Xue Zhijing: "..."

But it was obvious that Xue Zhijing was almost pissed off by her.

She was really afraid of being trapped by Zhao Wutong. Swimming back to the land was just talking. She almost drowned the last time she tried. Who would try again.

Suddenly, Xue Zhijing had an idea, and said to Zhao Wutong, "Boss Zhao, if I exchange a message for my freedom, is it feasible?"

"What news?" Zhao Wutong asked lazily.

"A piece of good news that can not only make your fleet earn a lot of money, but also allow you to taste food that you have never tasted before~" Xue Zhijing made a judgment, and Zhao Wutong would definitely be hooked.

Although he doesn't know much, Xue Zhijing still knows a little about Zhao Wutong and her pirate team. All they do is to survive and make money, so they can smuggle, trade, and collect from the passing fleet. Protection money, or do some robbery work.

At the same time, Xue Zhijing was even more impressed by Zhao Wutong's delicious food today. In the news she wanted to say, the food was real. It just depended on whether Zhao Wutong would take it or not. If you don't believe me, you can't talk to her.

"From the East China Sea to the east, go [-] miles, there is a continent that few people have ever visited~" Xue Zhijing said slowly, she can be regarded as capable of telling stories, her voice is elongated, and her expression is relaxed, creating a kind of eloquence. Daolai atmosphere.

Zhao Wutong snorted, "Twenty thousand miles? Do you think Kunpeng spreads its wings and flies over in one fly, and twenty thousand miles to the west will reach the kingdoms of Dashi. Do you know how far it is? It takes a year to sail. ~"

"It is a land that is richer than the countries of Tianzhu and Dashi, and there are many exotic plants growing there." Although Zhao Wutong teased him, Xue Zhijing didn't take it seriously, and still maintained his own rhythm of speaking, slowly Said.

Xue Zhijing was talking about America.

There are only some Indians who passed through East Asia 1 years ago. The vast sea has separated the two worlds for 1 years.

Therefore, that piece of land is enough to be called "foreign land".

Zhao Wutong shook his head, "To the east, at most it will be over in the country of Wa. Outside the country of Wa, there are high winds and rough waves, and no one has ever set foot in it."

"It's just that you don't know, Boss Zhao. I once saw a travelogue in Dacheng's palace. It told the story of an adventurer who traveled [-] miles to reach that distant land. He said It is Penglai Island."

Xue Zhijing gave full play to her ability to speak nonsense with her eyes open, her eyes sparkled and her tone was full of bewitching.

But she is not completely lying, after all, that continent is real, she just made up a travelogue in Dacheng's palace.

Otherwise, how would she explain that she knew the news.

"Penglaizhou~" Zhao Wutong seemed to be attracted by Xue Zhijing's words, she smacked this word, as if imagining the appearance of this world in her mind.

"There are a lot of gold, silver, copper and iron ore over there, and there are also some plants and spices that Dacheng does not have. In addition, there are some particularly delicious ingredients over there, such as a root crop called sweet potato. When you peel it off, the inside is crispy. It is a fruit that can be eaten raw, and it has a very delicious method. The sugar is boiled into a slurry, and the fried sweet potato pieces are wrapped in the syrup, and they will be shredded as soon as they are pulled.

As Zhijing Xue spoke, he seemed to be remembering, and his facial expressions carried a wonderful feeling.After all, it was all a matter of the previous life. It was just the most common home-cooked dish in the previous life. In this era, it is actually a delicacy that is hard to get.

Zhao Wutong took a deep breath, his throat rolling with Xue Zhijing's words.

Xue Zhijing actually doesn't know how fanatical Zhao Wutong's love for food is, but just making use of what she saw is enough to lure Zhao Wutong into the bait.

"In addition, there is a crop called potatoes. If you cut it into slices and roast it, and sprinkle some of the seasonings I baked for you, the taste will make you want to swallow your tongue. Also There is an even more amazing crop called corn. The corn is crystal clear, and each grain looks like human teeth. It is sweet and delicious. If it is ground into powder and then made into dough cakes, it is so sweet that it makes people feel like they are sitting in the sun. Like a dream."

Zhao Wutong's saliva is already drooling in a big bowl, but she is not a master who is easy to be fooled by others. Drooling belongs to drooling, and judging the true and false belongs to judging the true and false.

"How do I know that you didn't lie to me? You fooled me at will. How can I believe you are [-] miles away?"

Xue Zhijing sat upright with a serious expression on his face.

"I know it's really hard for you to believe it, but you should believe that I am a sixth-rank female official in the court of the Dacheng Dynasty. The palace houses all the precious items of the entire Central Plains dynasty from the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors to the present. I am helping the empress dowager to manage the classics And the clerk of the book, books are for me to read at will, and I will not lie to you."

To ordinary people, the imperial palace is as mysterious as the Heavenly Palace. If people who don't know a single word say that the imperial palace contains the fire of the gods, they will probably believe it.

Therefore, Zhao Wutong was dubious when he told Xue Zhijing that she had seen the travel book.

"Then since someone has already been to that place, why don't the sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn you mentioned appear in the Central Plains now?"

"Hey~ The person who wrote the travel notes said in the preface that he was going to the country of Wa by boat, but he lost his way, encountered wind and waves, and was blown to the east. As a last resort, he had to go all the way east, and then he arrived That place. He had already taken sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn to the boat, but encountered storms and waves on the way back. He was rescued in the country of Wa, and returned to Dacheng on a boat going to do business in the country of Wa, so all that was left was Travel notes. But there are pictures of those crops in his travel notes, I can draw them for you, my memory is pretty good."

Xue Zhijing talked about this point, the logic was so strict, Zhao Wutong believed most of it.

After Xue Zhijing drew the general appearance of potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn, Zhao Wutong basically believed Xue Zhijing's words.

"However, why did you tell me such precious information, just in exchange for your freedom?"

"Boss Zhao, you've got the right idea," Xue Zhijing said, "Actually, I really hope that you can go to Penglaizhou to obtain these crops, because these crops don't pick the land, and they can be grown even in barren mountainous areas. And it is extremely high-yield. Dacheng has suffered many disasters today, if there are some high-yield crops, we can feed more people, which is a good thing that benefits the country and the people."

Zhao Wutong was a little embarrassed by Xue Zhijing's highly moral words.

Come on, she is a court lady who benefits the country and the people, and she is a pirate leader who smuggles and robs.

Inexplicably felt that the other party's image was tall, and he became inexplicably wretched.

After this time, even if Xue Zhijing became friends with Zhao Wutong, Zhao Wutong still invited her to drink together, and let her get off the boat together when they arrived in Dengzhou.

"Let me tell you, you must follow me to Jiankang next time. Let's go find that female chef. I really like her. Although she is cold and cruel, well, her craftsmanship is really amazing. "

Xue Zhijing drank Zhao Wutong's wine and felt the wonderful taste. This was also a benefit for them to go to sea, and they could get all kinds of ocean-going goods.

As for the female chef, just listen.
