After Yun Jian and Yunzhu left the palace, they went straight to the Wen family. The rewards and cakes they brought from the palace were also left at the Wen family.
"My lord, I'm afraid this is inappropriate," Wen Lan said.
Si Feng Xuanhun said nonchalantly: "There's nothing wrong with it. What belongs to me belongs to whomever I want to give it to."
Jin Yan: "That's all. These foods are specially prepared for you by the Queen Mother. I'm afraid it won't be justified if you don't keep any of them."
Si Fengxuan had no choice but to say: "Bring one box over there, leave the rest, and you can eat slowly."
After saying that, he left directly.
Jin Yan went back and ate some snacks. Mei Huiniang looked at her daughter and said worriedly, "Brother Lan, this..."
"It doesn't matter, just put it away first." Wen Lan said.
Mei Huiniang had no choice but to do so.
The next day, Si Fengxuan came again.
Jin Yan said she wanted to go to the outer city to see if there was anything new. Businessmen from all over the world gathered there, including many from overseas and the Western Regions. What she wanted was likely to exist there.
Si Fengxuan kept talking about what treasures could be found in a place like that, but he was obedient and took Jinyan to the market.
After visiting most of the market, Jin Yan finally found the potatoes and corn brought by Hu Shang. The funny thing is that Hu Shang himself did not know how high the output of these two items was. They just heard about it from a passing caravan. These two things are treasures and can be sold for a good price.
But in terms of asking price, it is not as high as the price of their gold, silver, jade and precious stones.
When Jin Yan told Hu Shang that he wanted everything, the other party's eyes seemed to be seeing some big fool.
Si Fengxuan didn't care what these things were for. Jin Yan wanted to buy them, so he ordered Yun Jian to get the money, but Yun Xiu paid the money first.
Seeing Jin Yan's happy expression, Si Fengxuan was also happy, "Are these two things important?"
Jin Yan raised his eyes and looked at him, "You can make people all over the world no longer hungry. Do you think it's important?"
Si Fengxuan's eyes also widened slightly.
"Let's go and take a look. Maybe there are other gains." Jin Yan said.
She subconsciously grabbed Si Fengxuan's hand.
Si Fengxuan was stunned for a moment and then held Jin Yan's hand in his palm.
"Well, if you want to find something else, tell them the shape and let them look for it separately." Si Fengxuan said.
Jin Yan thought for a moment, "Too many."
Si Fengxuan said: "Don't be anxious, think about it slowly, if you can't find it here, I will send people out to search all over the world, and you can always find what you want."
After wandering for a long time, they found sunflower seeds and peanuts again.
Jin Yan took the melon seeds and was about to put them in her mouth to eat. Si Fengxuan stopped her quickly, feeling a little distressed but also a little funny, "Why do you put everything in your mouth?"
"This is edible," Jin Yan said.
Si Fengxuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I know that if you can't eat it, you won't bother looking for it."
Jin Yan: "..."
Si Fengxuan grabbed her hand, took all the melon seeds in her hand, and asked Yun Jian to put them away.
He wiped Jin Yan's hands and said as he walked: "There will be new Hu merchants here every day. If they need anything in the future, I will tell them to report anything new and send people to keep an eye on it." , you don’t need to come and look for it yourself.”
"knew."
…
Back at the Wen family, Jin Yan had a large cellar dug. She kept a small portion for everyone to taste, and stored the rest in the cellar to be taken out and planted when the weather gets warmer.
In order to prepare the potato feast, all the cooks from the palace came to the Wen family.
After telling everyone what to do, Jin Yan found an iron pot and set it up in the yard.
"What should we do now?" Si Fengxuan asked.
Jin Yan took a small bowl of corn that had been washed and dried.
Si Fengxuan twisted one and put it to his mouth, biting it but not moving, "How else can you eat this hard thing besides grinding it into flour?"
Jin Yan: “Popcorn.”
"Popcorn? Pop it?" Si Fengxuan asked.
Jin Yan: "Yeah."
Seeing that Jin Yan was about to start frying it himself, Si Fengxuan squatted down to light the fire. Yun Jian and others were frightened.
"My lord, let me leave the matter of lighting the fire to my subordinates," Yun Jian said.
Si Fengxuan: "No, you all stand down."
Yun Jian: "But, you..."
"Back off!"
There was a trace of anger on Si Fengxuan's face. Yun Jian and the others did not dare to persuade him any more, so they had to step aside and watch Si Fengxuan "singing like a woman and following her husband".
As the temperature of the iron pot increased, the golden corn slowly bloomed like flower buds, and everyone's attention was attracted.
"Wow, it really exploded!"
"No wonder it's called popcorn. The white part does look like rice."
"I don't know what this tastes like..."
"The lady said you can put sugar in it. It's very sweet and delicious."
After a while, Jin Yan finally stopped.
Si Fengxuan immediately took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from her forehead. Looking at her reddish cheeks, he said distressedly: "If I had known it would take so much time, I would have asked the cook to fry it."
"Fortunately, I feel a sense of accomplishment by making it myself, but it's also my first time making it, so I don't know if it tastes good." Jin Yan said.
Even in the last days, even in the early 1980s, she never really worried about her livelihood.
Let alone making popcorn, she has never even sold popcorn.
Si Fengxuan was not surprised by this. The Jin Yan in his dream was also pampered and did not need to do these things by himself.
He said, "How could it not be delicious?" while picking up a piece of popcorn and eating it.
Si Fengxuan: "Smells fragrant and sweet..."
"It's so sweet, I haven't put any sugar in it yet," Jin Yan said.
"..."
Jin Yan did some final processing before giving the popcorn to everyone to taste. Undoubtedly, it received unanimous praise.
"Don't be too busy praising me now. Wait until the potato feast is ready and then praise me slowly. Now you can think of words of praise." Jin Yan said.
Everyone: "..."
How can that lump of earth be so delicious?
Then, everyone smelled "really good".
After the meal, Jin Yan took out the fried sunflower seeds again. This time no one was worried that they were inedible or poisonous.
"Miss Wen, if there is anything else you can eat, please write it down and I will go look for it tomorrow," Yunzhu said.
Others also expressed their opinions. If they had known that the lump could make so many delicious things, they would have searched for seeds all over the world.
Naturally, Jin Yan would not tell them that he was lucky enough to find these crops. In fact, he had already negotiated terms with the system.
She did not discourage everyone's enthusiasm, but encouraged them to show them to her if they encountered something novel that they had not seen before.
Before leaving, Si Fengxuan secretly held Jin Yan's hand and asked in a low voice, "Yan Yan, how many surprises do you have that I don't know about yet?"
Jin Yan casually took out another cement formula.
I feel almost better, but I keep coughing, my throat is very itchy, and I can't sleep at night because of the cough. I feel more tired now than after the infection, tired and sleepy, and I can't do anything.
