I opened a mall in ancient times

Chapter 60 The First Day of Store Opening

Babak finally came to Chabuchara with his goods.

Most of the goods in their convoy have been sold in the countries along the way to the west, and the goods from Luo Chaochao's store are even better than what he imagined. It is estimated that before Chabuchalacha, he would go back home and continue to buy things in Luo Chaochao's shop.

Naturally, many dangers have been encountered along the way, and many rogues and horse bandits have been encountered. There are many people in their caravans, and there are really not many people who dare to attack them, and those who dare to attack them are also large-scale horse bandits. At this time, he has been silent in the caravan and is particularly shy, so the super timid pine branch comes in handy.

In fact, everyone in the caravan didn't like Song Zhi very much. After all, Song Zhi has always shown a timid and fearful image since walking with their caravan. He usually doesn't speak loudly, but when he encounters horse thieves But Songzhi stood up.

Fighting against two hundred horse thieves with his small body, he actually overthrew them all!

Songzhi became famous in the first battle.

Thanks to the pine branches, the group of them arrived at Chabuchara safely. Except for the necessary consumption, the supplies carried by their caravan were almost intact.

Originally, Song Zhi and their caravan discussed that they would separate after they arrived in Chapchara, but now that it was really time to check, the people in Babak's caravan were still a little bit reluctant.

After all, Songzhi was really powerful. After he showed his strength, what they usually thought was timid and fearful became a master. Thinking of the dangers they might encounter after returning, the Babak caravan did not want to be separated from Songzhi.

But at this moment, Song Zhi, who looked easy to talk, firmly rejected the choice of continuing to walk with the Babak caravan.

"My boss told us to separate." Songzhi smiled shyly, "Thanks to Brother Babak along the way, I learned a lot."

This is all polite.

"We will stay here for a while, that is, if you need it, you can come to the inn to find us."

"Okay, if anyone needs help, I will definitely come to Big Brother."

Originally, Luo Chaochao felt that Babak was not trustworthy and did not give him the horn, but now that Song Zhi was here, Luo Chaoti gave him the horn and asked him to take things to find Musa.

Now that the two parted ways in the center of the city, Songzhi looked at the most magnificent palace in the main city, but it was completely different from the style of the Sheng Kingdom, drove a carriage full of supplies, and then took out the token Luo Chaoxi gave him and went to the palace. The guard at the gate of the palace raised the horn in his hand.

"I am a subordinate of a friend of His Royal Highness Musa, and I came here this time to deliver something."

Musa, who had already ascended the throne, heard that someone from outside was looking for him. He didn't want to pay attention to it. As the lord of a country, wouldn't he be degraded if he saw people casually?But when he heard that the messenger was holding an ox horn, and his owner was a man named Luo Chao Chao, he couldn't sit still.

Not long after he came back, Luo Chaoxi sent someone to look for him, did something go wrong and he needed his help?

Musa didn't even care about asking his subordinates to bring people in for him, so he walked out and met Song Zhi on the way.

Songzhi held the horn in his hand, and the servants in the palace dragged a cart with boxes on it.

Musa recognized at a glance that the Horn was given to Luo Chaochao by himself.

"You are Luo's subordinate, come with me."

Song Zhi was flattered, but followed.

"You mean, Luo Te asked you to come here to deliver things?" Musa sat on the throne and asked Song Zhi in surprise, "He is really kind, he is indeed my best friend, bring the things here quickly, let me see My friend brought me something."

The space of pine branches can be kept fresh and refrigerated, so Luo Chaochao stuffed Musa with a lot of food, which was full, except for those that Musa liked to eat, there were also some ingredients that were not available in Luochao Chao’s store at all, and some Musa also had never seen such a strange gadget.He was also very happy when he saw the cosmetics sent by Songzhi: "My sisters liked this so much that they were still yelling at me to buy some new ones, otherwise we would send a caravan to Kangzhou City to buy things gone."

"The boss must welcome you very much." Songzhi couldn't handle such a very enthusiastic person, but he also introduced the tasks to Musa one by one according to the tasks that Luo Chaoxie gave him. When everything was done, Songzhi felt embarrassed. Said, "In addition to these, my boss has assigned me other tasks. I don't know if it's convenient for you."

"Are you in the spice business? In fact, I have already prepared for this, but I don't know when you will come over and it hasn't started yet." Musa said, "When are you leaving? I want them to prepare something for Luo as soon as possible." A specialty of Chabuchara."

"My boss asked me to ask if there are any of these plants in Chabuchara." Songzhi took out the book that Luo Chaochao gave him before leaving, which recorded the plants that Songzhi asked to find.

Some were found on the road, but some were not, so Matsue asked Musa with little hope.

These are fruits, vegetables and other crops that grow in the tropics. Musa looked through and patted his chest: "The names are different, but they look very similar... There should be quite a few." Musa called the palace The farmer, the farmer also looked at the illustration book, and immediately said: "Some of them do exist."

"Then you just wait for the good news." Musa patted Songzhi on the shoulder, "By the way, remember to tell Luo when you go, I will go to Sheng Kingdom to give money to Sheng on behalf of Chabuchala in about four months. The emperor of the country is celebrating his birthday, and he will pass by Kangzhou City, hoping to meet him once."

Kangzhou City is actually quite far from the capital city, but this time the Yin family was thinking about something, so they speeded up deliberately, sacrificing comfort and hurrying back.

Mr. Yin practiced martial arts better. Mrs. Yin and Ms. Yin's bones were almost shaken during the journey, and they fell asleep when they got home. When they got up early the next morning, Mr. Yin had already brought his things to court.

The things used by those women were kept, because these were the tasks to be given to Mrs. Yin and the others.

"Master, I'm too anxious." Mrs. Yin, the mother and daughter, couldn't help complaining.

If he hadn't left so quickly, the two of them could rest for a few more days, but the master went first, so they could only go to the harem at this time.

Otherwise, it will be troublesome. If there is something that they want in kind but they don't bring it, there will be problems instead.

The two of them dressed up completely, and habitually used the things they bought from Luo Chao Chao to do their full makeup.

After they finished dressing up, when they came out to see the other servants in the mansion, they suddenly realized that the outfits of the two of them and the maids under them were incompatible with the current capital.

I used to look at the outfits I was used to, but now I am not used to it no matter how I look at it. I feel that the fake white makeup in the past is not natural enough, and it is not waterproof enough, and the lipstick shades are not as diverse as they are now.

For example, Mrs. Yin prefers red bean paste or brighter red, while Ms. Yin prefers pinker and tenderer colors.

Ms. Yin wore strawberry red glass lip glaze when she went out today. This watery pouty lip works very well on Ms. Yin's face. The eye shadow is delicate and natural, and the eyeliner and mascara make the eyes look big and bright .

It is a kind of beauty and delicacy that is completely different from the current noble ladies in the capital.

As Mrs. Yin is a little older, naturally she can't dress up in a delicate and pretty way like her own daughter, and her makeup and hairstyle are all more stable and dignified.

Although Luo Chaoxi and the others were pursuing a natural makeup effect at that time, the ancients habitually chose a liquid foundation with a shade of white. Fortunately, they remembered to wipe their necks, and it was not particularly fake, and it was very natural.

So in the eyes of others, Mrs. Yin and Ms. Yin's whiteness is very natural, as if there is no makeup on. The color on the eyelids is very bright, even like a dye, with a little shimmer in the middle , All of a sudden let the eyes become divine.

The other female family members in Yin's mansion felt agitated when they saw the strange but exceptionally good-looking makeup of Madam and Miss.

There are only three mistresses in the Yin Mansion.

Mrs. Yin, Mrs. Yin, and Miss Yin.

Mrs. Yin needs to stay at home when Mr. Yin goes out, and she is too old to travel around, so she has been staying in Yin's mansion for the past three months, and she doesn't know where Mrs. Yin and Ms. From what I saw and heard, I suddenly saw the two female family members dressed like this, so I asked directly.

"These are the cosmetics we brought back." Before leaving the house in the morning, Miss Yin and Mrs. Yin went to the old lady Yin to say the morning ceremony, "Wang Po can also use it, mother can let her try it for you."

"Xiuxiu, come over here." The old lady Yin asked Miss Yin to come over, held Miss Yin's face in her hands, and sized her up. Only when she got so close could she see that the layer on Miss Yin's face was no different from her skin color. Makeup powder that doesn't come out.

It's very natural, and she touched it carefully, and it won't fall off!

"What kind of makeup powder is this, why have I never seen it before?"

"It was brought back from Kangzhou City. We brought back a lot, enough for a long time." Miss Yin said with a smile, "We also brought back perfume. There is a bottle of scent that you must like. It was among the gifts yesterday. Woolen cloth."

The old lady Yin went to bed early yesterday. Although she took the gift, she still hasn't opened it yet. Naturally, she doesn't know what the two brought back.

On the contrary, Mrs. Yin remembered something, and said with a smile: "That Boss Luo doesn't look like a commoner in the frontier at all, but he looks like a son in the capital, and guess what? Boss Luo is a bit like Luo Shuhe from the Luo family. Especially after smiling."

Mrs. Yin originally said this as a joke, but after hearing this, Mrs. Yin's face changed a little.

Although it was only for a moment, Mrs. Yin still caught the flash of surprise on the old lady Yin's face.

"It looks like it. There are so many people in the world, so it's not surprising that there are one or two who look similar." The old lady Yin said, "It's getting late, so don't let the queen mother and queen wait, it's against the rules. "

The two thought about it, and then they said goodbye and left.

As a result, when they walked halfway, they happened to meet Luo's carriage.

The Luo family has always been low-key, and the family is not well-off, so the carriages they travel in are very simple one-horse carriages.

Miss Yin opened the curtain and took a look, only to find that the carriage passed them in a hurry and was heading out of the city.

Strange, what is this for?

------------------------------

Naturally, an official from the former court like Lord Yin couldn't wait until dawn before looking for someone. He put on his court uniform at five o'clock in the morning and was ready to go out, and went to wait outside the gate of the imperial city with other officials.

In the previous dynasty, the morning court was once every five days, but the new emperor was diligent, and changed it from three times a month to once every five days. Yesterday, Master Yin did not go directly to the palace, but chose to go to the morning court early the next morning. This reason.

Giving in front of everyone is of course better than sneaking.

Master Yin also has his own selfish intentions.

There are no clocks now, and these courtiers don’t know what time it is. Anyway, they came before the cock crows. Master Yin is used to idleness in Kangzhou City, and now he is not used to suddenly getting up early. Noisily carrying things, I was almost late for the first morning morning when I came back.

When he arrived, most of the ministers had already arrived. From the first-rank officials to the seventh-rank officials, they stood together according to the rank of officials, making a noise together, and suddenly saw the frame of Mr. Yin, and couldn't believe it for a while. s eyes.

Isn't the Yin family's son-in-law sent to the south?Master Yin also went to Kangzhou City, so who is coming here now?Why is the boy behind the carriage still driving the carriage? What is there on it?

The ministers were quite surprised, and for a while they couldn't figure out what the Yin family was going to do.

It can't be the old lady of the Yin family, can it?

That shouldn't be the time to come.

It wasn't until Master Yin got off the carriage rack, patted his sleeves and straightened his court clothes, that he greeted the other people outside the imperial city gate with a smile.

"Morning, my lords."

"Master Yin? Why did you come back from Kangzhou City so quickly?" Everyone still doubted their eyes when they saw Master Yin.

It's only been three months since I went out, Master Yin wouldn't just stay in Kangzhou City for a few days and then come back?One must know that the single journey from Beijing to Kangzhou City takes a month. What is Master Yin trying to do? Why did he come back so soon?

Has the emperor's task been done?

"I'll be back when I'm done." Master Yin said, he called the eunuchs who were waiting outside the door to give some instructions, and saw that the eunuchs removed all the things from the rear frame and carried them in.

"This is……"

"This is a good thing I saw when I went to the northwest, and this time I brought it back specially for His Majesty to have a look." Lord Yin made a fool of himself: "Everyone will see it in the morning court."

"Something is still mysterious."

Some have a good relationship with Mr. Yin, and naturally some have a bad relationship with Mr. Yin, but they just refuse to show it clearly. Mr. Yin is in a good mood now, and he doesn't care what other people are doing, so he stops at his previous position in line , ready to wait for the court.

The imperial palace was still the palace of the previous dynasty. There was a war before. Although it has been repaired as much as possible, if you look closely, you can still see a lot of traces of war.

The courtiers lined up to enter through the gate according to the size of their official positions, and stood in line according to their rank in Zichen Hall until the end of the fourth rank, while the rest of the officials waited outside.

Only officials of the fifth rank and above can enter the Zichen Palace, while courtiers of the fifth rank and below can only stand outside in the sun and wait for the emperor to chat with the high officials, and have no right to participate in the meeting.

Generally speaking, everyone doesn't like meetings very much, especially those who wake up early in the morning to hold meetings.

Master Yin was originally a high-ranking official from the first rank, and he was standing in the second row. At this moment, this person who should not be here is very conspicuous in the line. Unfortunately, the Zichen Palace is an important place, so there is no way to whisper, so he can only stand there and wait. I'll talk about it when it's over.

Or will you know as soon as the court starts?

Not long after everyone stood in line, the new emperor finally appeared, sitting on the dragon chair in the center, all the ministers saluted and bowed, and then got up to take their seats, the emperor spoke.

"Yin Aiqing, why did you come back so early?"

"The minister lived up to his entrustment and completed your order." Master Yin stood up and replied with a salute, "The trade route with Beidi in the Western Regions has been preliminarily finalized, and the person in charge has also been confirmed in Kangzhou City. Got some baby."

"What baby?" The emperor sounded less interested.

The new emperor is actually very young, but his imposing manner is strong and he is not angry, making people afraid to look directly at the other party, thus ignoring the fact that the other party has just turned 20 years old.

Young people at this age should be the most curious, but unfortunately the emperor was not interested at all when he heard the baby, thinking it was gold, silver, jewelry or an antique musical instrument, but he didn't take off his face, he just said lazily , "Since it was brought by Yin Aiqing, let's take it and have a look."

"Didn't Master Yin never care about fame, wealth and money? Why are you suddenly trying to curry favor with His Majesty today?" Immediately, there was a noisy discussion in the hall, whether it was a good relationship with Master Yin or not, they all began to wonder at this moment.

Master Yin's image in the court has always been unmoved by foreign objects, he never accepts bribes, and the clothes he wears are very ordinary materials. When others visit his house, they will feel that the Yin residence is very shabby.

"Master Yin has always been clean, so the things he brought out must be different from ordinary people, right?" Someone said in a strange way, "Master Yin usually wears clothes and trousers, but I never thought that the money would be used to buy rare things?"

This is satirizing Master Yin's usual frugality as a show.

Master Yin followed the voice and almost couldn't help rolling his eyes.

Well, it's the ones who usually don't like themselves.

What's the fuss about?

Their Yin family doesn't have much money, and they don't like to take bribes from others. The monthly money is only so little, and at most they can't afford luxury goods, but he said it's gold, silver and jewelry. ?

The things I brought back are not comparable to gold, silver and jewelry!

In the past, some people thought that Mr. Yin and the others were very contrived, making them look like snobbish eyes. Now seeing Mr. Yin himself "willing to degenerate", he immediately climbed up the pole and began to get angry.

"That's right, the treasure I took out is beyond your comparison." Master Yin is not used to them.

For the emperor, these brought by him are treasures, which are completely different from their gold, silver and jewelry.

This is something that can improve the living conditions of the entire Sheng Kingdom!

"Then I want to see what kind of treasure you brought back, don't stain your eyes with gold, silver, jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings."

The emperor yawned, but he didn't stop these people from fighting back and forth.

He likes to watch these people fight back and forth, so that a stable regime can be maintained, and the three parties stand together to stabilize people's hearts. If they all get together to find trouble for him, then there is a real problem.

But the emperor sent a message, and the little eunuch immediately went to get it.The little eunuch who had been prepared before came in from the side door, and the little eunuch outside who was holding several trays came up with things, there were eight trays in total.

At the end, there is a long strip covered with red silk cloth, and the front is like clothes... There are also a lot of things that look like vegetables, but they don't look like them. These things are like It seemed to be dug out of the soil, only the yellow stick looked more like food, as for the red bump and the khaki bump, it was so ugly that I didn't want to look directly at it.

Those people who were at odds with Mr. Yin immediately laughed: "Sure enough, it is Mr. Yin who is noble. If you give something to His Majesty, you will send these unworthy ones."

These things don't look worth much, and even if they are washed, they don't look very pleasant. Those yellow things that look like particles growing on the stick look better. As for those fluffy cloths?

It's almost like wool felt, it's rough and hard at first glance, it's bound to make people's skin painful, if it's a little dirty, it's likely that there will be lice.

"This is the treasure that the old minister brought to His Majesty." Master Yin chuckled and ignored them at all.

Don't look at these things that don't look very good, but the effect will definitely shock the jaws of all of them, just don't get angry when the time comes.

Everyone thought that the emperor would be angry when he saw these things, but unexpectedly the emperor's interest rose instead.

He thought it was some precious item of gold, silver and jewelry, but he didn't expect it to be so dusty that it looked worthless.

But Master Yin said that this is a treasure, so it must have its uniqueness.

He said, how could Mr. Yin, who has always been pragmatic, go so far as to give him gold, silver and jewelry?

It is impossible to send gold, silver and jewelry in front of so many ministers, there must be something that will help him.

"What are these? Yin Aiqing, please introduce me quickly." The emperor sat up straight and asked curiously, "These things are not gray."

"These things do come out of the soil, Rong Chen will introduce them to His Majesty."

"This is actually a crop called corn. The climate in the north is harsh, the winter is extremely cold, but the sunshine is abundant. This crop is very suitable for living in the north. In addition to this fruit, its stems and leaves can be burned after drying. Firewood for heating, harvest once a year in spring in the north, and plant twice a year in the south, and the yield per mu is about four shi."

"Four stones???" The household department in charge of agriculture couldn't believe it when they heard this number, "How could there be four stones, even the top-quality fields with the highest yield in the south only have three stones per mu!"

Now a stone is about 120 catties, that is to say, one mu of corn can produce about 350 to [-] catties, and now the best fields in the south can only produce about [-] catties per mu.

And this output is completely unthinkable in modern times.

These seeds are all improved seeds that Luo Chaochao brought from modern times. Of course, to achieve so much requires fertilization and careful care, careful care will naturally not be less, as long as they are planted in a reasonable way according to the future. The problem is Retting.

More on this later.

"And this corn can be squeezed for oil." Master Yin said again, "The residue after the oil is squeezed can still be eaten, but it's just for filling the stomach."

"Oil extraction?!"

When it comes to extracting oil, everyone will not be troubled. The oil nowadays is almost all meat oil, not to mention the high price and the small amount of oil produced. It is something only rich people can afford.

Hubu Shangshu was about to pass out, he couldn't believe it, he didn't even care about his image, and rushed in front of Master Yin, "What you said is true?"

"of course it's true."

Master Yin said, "I've seen people doing this in the Northwest, but the scale is very small and few people know about it."

This is a beautiful misunderstanding.

Luo Chaoxi couldn't convince Mr. Yin in a short time, so the employee he found had a dream, and he took Mr. Yin for a stroll and saw the future scene with his own eyes.

Potatoes and sweet potatoes Luo Chaochao can be used as a disguise for Master Yin, but corn is not so good.

However, Luo Chaochao is just trying to find an excuse for the other party to persuade the other party, and how to implement it depends on the person himself.

"Hey, how do you plant this?"

"I have put the method into a book." Master Yin took out a booklet from his arms, which recorded in detail several crops from the beginning of seedling cultivation to the selection of land, and then to the precautions in the middle and all the precautions when harvesting. "Zhou Shangshu, you retreat one after another, I haven't finished talking yet."

The emperor waved his hand, and the Hubu Shangshu had no choice but to retreat to his original position, but his eyes were so fiery, he quickly saw a hole in Master Yin.

Master Yin handed over the cooked corn again, some were cooked with the stalks in the middle, and some were peeled off one by one.

What the emperor eats is naturally a bowl of peeled corn kernels.

The sticky corn with its own sweet smell is fragrant, and the emperor couldn't help scooping up several spoonfuls of corn kernels to get his mouth full, and then he coughed, "My dear friends, please try it too."

So the ministers in the main hall took a piece of corn, like hamsters, and began to eat corn here.

The corn has a bit of sweetness, plus the abundant juice after cooking, the ministers who haven't eaten in the morning eat it all within a few minutes

The taste is quite good. After eating such a small piece, not only is it not satisfying, but it makes you even more hungry.

It is delicious and has a high yield. It is indeed a good thing.

Master Yin picked up another potato that was bigger than his fist. This potato had been washed with water before it was delivered, exposing the yellowed skin. It was no different from a clod when thrown into the soil.

In addition to the raw potatoes, he also brought potatoes that had been steamed in the kitchen in advance. They were placed on two plates for comparison. There was also a small plate of very fine salt on the loser plate. , Grab a small piece of potato, dip it in a little salt, and it will be a very delicious meal.

Although salt is very expensive now, for ordinary people, just warm potatoes that can fill their stomachs are enough to enjoy, and no one will mind if they are dry, but the emperor has eaten good things, and steamed potatoes are fine. The taste needs to be adjusted with salt.

"This is a potato. As the name suggests, it grows in the soil. This is the fruit after ripening. It can grow up to the size of two fists. The most important thing is that potatoes are very easy to feed, and the yield is very high. The yield per mu is about Ten stones, and it only takes two months to mature, it can even be planted in the severe winter, and it can be stored in a cool and ventilated place for one and a half months to two months."

As soon as he said this, the whole court was in an uproar.

Especially the household department in charge of agriculture, after hearing the output, he forgot that he had been kicked back just now, and rushed over to grab Mr. Yin's arm: "Master Yin, is what you said true? This thing Is it really ten stones per mu?!"

That's [-] catties!

They thought the corn was outrageous enough, but they didn't expect the potato to more than double in size!

"Of course it's true!" Master Yin is so sure because Luo Chaochao led him to find a wild potato field. Naturally, he can't conclude that this thing can grow a lot just from Luo Chaochao's words, but the wild potato field is only so small. Small pieces, but hundreds of catties of potatoes were produced, and it tasted very full.

Apart from being tasteless, this potato is good everywhere.

"This is a plant that grows in the wild. The roots that grow underground can be eaten. It was discovered by accident in the Northwest. There is also this, called sweet potato, that also grows in the ground. Its roots are eaten, but this sweet potato tastes better. Good, and it has a sweet taste. Although the yield is not as high as that of potatoes, it tastes great and is very filling. Even the leaves of sweet potatoes can be eaten. This is planted in May and June every year, and can be harvested around October. And the yield per mu of sweet potatoes is higher, about fifteen shi per mu."

Hubu Shangshu almost fainted when he heard this output, he couldn't believe what Master Yin said was true.

He can understand every word. Why is it like listening to a scripture when they are combined together?

Are they dreaming or is Master Yin crazy?

They suspected that Master Yin was crazy, otherwise how dare he say such output?

"Master Yin, don't be crazy, we can barely believe four stones, but these ten stones, fifteen stones... Could it be that he was frightened crazy after going to Kangzhou City?"

"Cao Shuoran, don't you think I'm good?" Even the good-tempered Master Yin was a little angry after being pushed down all the time.

Cao Shuoran is a doctor of imperial history. Although his official position is not as high as that of Lord Yin, his official position is quite special, so he really dares to hate him.

"It's not that I'm troubling you, but you don't think about the output you said, is it reasonable?"

"Whether it is reasonable or not, I have seen it with my own eyes. On the contrary, you deny it without seeing it with your own eyes. You also say that I am out of my mind, and I also say that you are out of my mind."

The two elderly people who combined were over a hundred years old just started cursing at each other in the hall, completely devoid of their usual demeanor.The two groups headed by the two of them started to quarrel again.

The emperor clutched his forehead with a headache.

"Okay! Quiet!"

The ministers below knelt down and shouted for mercy.

The emperor pointed to Master Yin: "Bring me that potato and let me taste it."

In fact, he also had some doubts about what Master Yin said. After all, the output was a little exaggerated, and it was hard not to suspect that this was bragging.

The two eunuchs walked up with potatoes and sweet potatoes, and Master Yin reminded him from below, "The left side is raw, and the right side is cooked potatoes. You can eat them with a little salt, and sweet potatoes can be eaten directly."

The cooked food was very easy to distinguish. The emperor stretched out his hand, and the eunuch beside him wiped his hands. Then he picked up a piece of potato, dipped it in a little salt and put it in his mouth.

The type of potatoes that Luo Chaochao brought were noodle potatoes, which melted in the mouth after being boiled, and were delicious even when they were cold.

When Master Yin asked the eunuchs to take these things away, he deliberately asked the eunuchs to reheat them. Although it was a little cold after staying outside for a while, the taste was still quite good.

The emperor carefully felt the taste of potatoes in his mouth.This kind of taste is a bit strange, a bit like soft and glutinous glutinous rice, but the taste is a little rusty, and it will have a little salty taste when it is touched with a little salt.

The emperor naturally ate delicious food, and the taste couldn't surprise him, but he also knew how powerful the yield, the taste, and the characteristics of being able to grow in cold weather were, and he also understood that this kind of crop was already regarded as a good food for ordinary people. It is rare and delicious. It is soft in the mouth and can be chewed effortlessly, making it easy for young children and elderly people to eat it.

The emperor subconsciously nodded and praised: "Not bad."

Then he put it on the sweet potato on the other side.

The baked sweet potato looked dirty with black dust on it.Master Yin said before that when heating sweet potatoes, it is best to throw them into the stove and roast them rather than steam them.

Although the steamed taste is good, it is still much inferior to the roasted sweet potatoes that are baked with oil.

Roasted sweet potatoes are actually the best when they are the hottest when they are just baked. Unfortunately, it is a bit cold now, and the taste is not as good as when it was just baked, but this kind of roasted sweet potatoes still surprised the emperor a little.

In the past, the emperor would definitely not be able to eat this kind of roasted black food, but Master Yin said that it was a good thing, so he peeled off the charred black skin on the outside with chopsticks.The orange-red sweet potato flesh inside was exposed.

This taste...

The sweet smell of roasted sweet potatoes flowed into the emperor's nostrils along the air, and the emperor picked up a small piece of sweet potato meat with chopsticks and put it in his mouth. The dense sweet taste with a little heat captured the emperor at this moment heart of.

He couldn't help picking up his chopsticks again.

He picked up another chopstick.

The emperor almost couldn't hold back and ate the whole sweet potato in front of all the ministers.He reluctantly put down the chopsticks after picking up a few pieces, took the handkerchief and wiped his mouth and hands.

"Sure enough, it's a treasure." The emperor said, "Everyone who loves you should also have a taste."

With so many people in the court, it is naturally impossible for everyone to taste it. Only the few officials in front can have a bite. They have the same perception of potatoes as the emperor, but they all have the same preference for sweet potatoes.

In fact, it is also understandable. After all, sugar is still a luxury at this time, and sweet potatoes are more pleasing than tasteless potatoes.

Even those who were originally against Master Yin and liked to choke with him couldn't help but shut their mouths when they tasted potatoes and sweet potatoes.

The taste is good, not to mention the yield is good, especially that potato is also very suitable for planting in cold weather.

They can't say no at all.

"The corn potatoes and sweet potatoes are very suitable for roasting and eating. They are easy to carry during the march. The sweet potatoes can be dried into sweet potatoes, which can be stored for a long time without spoiling."

Master Yin continued to add, "Having these three things, are we still worried that the people of our Sheng Kingdom will not have enough to eat? Isn't this a treasure?"
