After rebirth I became the tyrant's little white lotus

Chapter 253 Sweet Potatoes Potatoes Tomatoes

On the third day of summer, Master Guo Shi came back from Yanzhou City, and the roads on both sides of the streets of the imperial city lined up to welcome him.

Bai Miao was sitting on the carriage, although he never opened the curtain to look, but just relying on the enthusiastic voice outside, he knew what kind of excitement was on both sides of the street at this time.

Although the Yanzhou plague was thousands of miles ago, because of the existence of "Dayin Ten Daily", the people in the imperial city can know the real-time situation all the time. Such side participation has made them pay more attention to it than ever. I am also sincerely happy about the healing.Just like the people in Yanzhou, the people in the imperial city not only welcome the Grand Master to return to the palace, but also have unlimited belief and expectations for the Grand Master.

After this incident, a stone monument was also built at the gate of Yanzhou City, with the names of tens of thousands of people, large and small, engraved on it, all of whom made contributions in the face of this epidemic, some were ordinary people, some were big merchants , and others are officials and aristocrats... The existence of the stele allows their names to be passed down forever, and at the same time encourages more people to participate in this kind of voluntary activity.

After returning to the palace, Emperor Wu naturally removed Yu Renyu's name and regained his status as Emperor Dayin, but Bai Miao played with the human skin mask on his face for a long time .

But while Bai Miao was looking forward to Rong Su's marriage, there was one thing that attracted his full attention - Chu Ran and Zhao Yi'an came back!

What does Chu Ran and Zhao Yi'an's return mean?

It means that the fleet sent by Dayin has also returned!

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Bai Miao ran all the way to the Wuji Hall in a long gown, his complexion was still pale and his lips were pale, but his face was flushed with excitement, "Your Majesty, He, they are back!"

"Who are they back?" Emperor Wu was puzzled, but he didn't know, who could make Bai Miao so excited.

The news of Chu Ran and Zhao Yi'an's return was the first to notify Bai Miao, so at this moment Emperor Wu was still a little puzzled about what happened.

"Yes, it's Chu Ran and Zhao Yi'an!" Bai Miao, who came trotting all the way, lay down on the table and took a sip of water, then pulled Emperor Wu's sleeve and wanted to go to the pier in the suburbs, "Your Majesty, let's go and see! Their fleet has arrived!"

"No hurry, no hurry, take your time." Emperor Wu couldn't laugh or cry.

"I can't wait! Your Majesty, take me to have a look first!" Bai Miao grabbed Emperor Wu's sleeve and twisted it, and said coquettishly, "I beg you!"

Now, Emperor Wu readily agreed, "Okay."

In order to satisfy Bai Miao's little wish, Emperor Wu directly drove Qinggong, hugged him in his arms, and flew to the pier with a kind of guard, and at the moment a group of people who had just disembarked were unloading.

From a long distance, Bai Miao saw Chu Ran and Zhao Yi'an who got off the two boats at the same time.

"Mr. Chu! Zhao Yi'an!" Bai Miao waved his hands with excitement on his face. He was very much looking forward to the surprises these two would bring when they came back from the sea.

"Little Highness!"

Chu Ran and Zhao Yi'an walked up to Bai Miao one after the other.

Bai Miao looked at the two of them, her bare skin was basically darker than before, "You look pretty good! It's just a little tanned."

Chu Ran looked deeply at Bai Miao, and he naturally noticed Emperor Wu standing quietly not far from Bai Miao, because his gaze dared to be too presumptuous.From October last year to March now, for five full months, he and the fleet went out to sea, went to a strange sea area, saw a strange continent, and met a group of strange people. He had never seen Bai Miao's face before, nor heard the other party's voice, but seeing each other now, he found that the former boy had turned into a young man.

Five months is not long, but it seems that it will not be short. Chu Ran looked at Bai Miao, but his mind was complicated for a while.

He asked the suspicion in his heart, "Little Highness, have you grown up?"

Zhao Yi'an also looked at Bai Miao with a puzzled expression on his face, but he clearly remembered that before he went out to sea, Bai Miao was still a young man, why has he grown into a young man after half a year?

"It's a long story, but I'm just horrified," Bai Miao smiled lightly, "After all, I'm a master of the country. If I'm successful in my skills, I will naturally change. I can't always look like a boy, right?"

Chu Ran was taken aback for a moment, but only echoed: "That's fine..."

"Tell me about you, what did you find out this time when you went out to sea?" Bai Miao looked forward to it, wishing to directly stuff the memories of what the two of them had seen and heard into his own mind.

Zhao Yi'an beckoned, and a young man with wheat-colored skin came out behind him. He said with a naive smile, "I've seen Mr. Guoshi, my subordinate Qin Zhuang. Mr. Zhao is inconvenient to speak, so I will do it for you."

"Okay, no problem!" Bai Miao clapped her hands and said, "I'm tired all the way, why don't we go to the National Teacher's Mansion first, and then we can talk slowly?"

At this moment Emperor Wu also spoke, "Let's go to the National Teacher's Mansion."

"Join Your Majesty." Several people saluted together.

"Get up."

Emperor Wu didn't pay much attention to others, he took Bai Miao's hand and took a step ahead, but Bai Miao still tilted his body and waved to the people behind, "See you later!"

After waiting for half an hour, several people sat in the garden of the National Teacher's Mansion again.

There is a round table in the octagonal pavilion with five seats on it, from left to right are Bai Miao, Rong Su, Zhao Yi'an, Qin Zhuang and Chu Ran.As for Emperor Wu, he was correcting the memorials in Bai Miao's room in the National Teacher's Mansion. He was abducted by Bai Miao coquettishly while he was working in the palace. Now that he has been delivered, he naturally has to continue working.

At the same time, on the other side of the octagonal pavilion, there are several wooden boxes, which seem to be things brought back from the trip to the sea.

After everyone was done, Bai Miao couldn't help but speak first while the servants were pouring tea and serving snacks: "Did the trip to sea go well this time?"

"It's not bad," Chu Ran said first: "We led the fleet all the way north, and after sailing for more than 40 days, we arrived at a new land. It was colder there, and there were many foreigners living there, all of whom were white-skinned. People with blond hair and blue eyes or brown hair and green eyes, with profound facial features, are very different from Dayin people, and they are taller and have curly hair."

"Are they easy to get along with?" Rong Su asked.After listening to Chu Ran's narration, Rong Su could probably guess that there must be Caucasians over there.

"It was inconvenient to communicate at the beginning, but it was okay after the two got used to each other. We exchanged silk, pottery and bamboo paper with them, and gradually reached a more friendly relationship. And there are still a few clever people in the fleet. Yue has learned [-]% to [-]% of the words of foreigners, and can barely communicate." After a pause, Chu Ran directed his servants to carry the box over there, opened it sideways, and took out one red and one purple-red fruit from it , put it on the table, "These two things are exchanged with them, and they are said to be usable. Most foreigners use these things to cook soup."

Bai Miao's eyes lit up, he and Rong Su each took one.

Rong Su looked at the bright red fruit in his hand, the skin was so thin that he could see the bright red juice inside, "Yo, these tomatoes look really good!"

"Tomato? The name is a bit weird to listen to, but it's also catchy to read." Chu Ran was a little surprised.

And Bai Miao squeezed the brown soiled guy in his hand and murmured in a low voice: "With this thing, increasing food production is not a problem."

"Does this thing have a name?" Qin Zhuang was curious.

"Let's call it sweet potato." Bai Miao was stunned, and when he finished speaking, he raised his eyes and stared at the tomato in Rong Su's hand, "I really want to eat beef brisket with tomatoes!"

"Ah! I want to too!" Rong Su couldn't help drooling when he saw the tomato.

Although Dayin has rich ingredients and cooking methods, due to the lack of certain seasonings, the food is mostly salty and sweet, followed by spicy, and even less sour.As far as Bai Miao and Rong Su have been in Dayin for so many years, the only naturally sour meals they have eaten, except for candied haws and cucumbers with vinegar, are lacking in variety. After all, there is a natural difference between the sourness made by vinegar and the sourness of tomatoes ah!

"I'll ask the imperial chef to do some research when I get back." Bai Miao swallowed quietly, coughed lightly, and said seriously, "Then Zhao Yi'an, Qin Zhuang, how are you two?"

Qin Zhuang clasped his fists and said: "My subordinates and Mr. Zhao followed the fleet all the way to the south, during which time we arrived at an island. The people on it, uh... are rather special. They are tall and wild, and they dress very boldly. They live by hunting. Lord; they are dark in complexion, strong and combative, and exist in the form of tribes. They were very hostile to our arrival at first, but after we took out the objects that could be exchanged, they became very friendly again, It can be said that their nature is very simple and natural.”

"Then did you get anything from there?"

"some."

Qin Zhuang nodded, and at the same time Zhao Yi'an dragged out a box from his side, and took out the brown block inside.

Qin Zhuang said: "I don't know what this thing is called. Anyway, the people on that island will eat it, and they will feel fuller. We exchanged a few boxes."

"This is potatoes," Bai Miao squinted. Potatoes and sweet potatoes are crops with relatively large production volume. With them, if there is a famine in Dayin in the future, this thing may be a life-saving existence.

"Potato goulash is also good." Rong Su was greedy, and she asked the most critical question: "Are there any seeds?"

Although they can grow seeds by themselves if they have crops, the soil and water in Dayin are different from that of the New World. If they have seeds, it will be much more convenient for them, and they don't have to take more detours.

"some."

Several people nodded in unison. They are all intelligent people. Although they are not good at farming, they also know the importance of seeds.

"It's great, we got sweet potatoes, potatoes, and tomatoes during our trip to the sea. It's a good harvest!" Bai Miao couldn't wait to let the royal chef in the palace study the delicious ones.

He looked at the few who came back from the sea, raised his glass and bowed deeply: "Thank you everyone."

Dayin's first trip to sea was successfully completed!
