For several days in a row, Ran Fang would tell Ben Junli stories every day when he was free, and on the second day, Ben Junli would tell him a story he had rewritten before bringing it back.
After going back and forth like this every day, Ben Junli became more familiar with Ran Fang, and spoke to Ran Fang more casually, but his admiration for Ran Fang also grew stronger.
Especially the moves that Ran Fang said were deeply attracted to Ben Junli. He even dreamed at night that he would become a martial arts hero.
There were also the names of places in the story that he had never heard of before, which also fascinated him.
Today, before Ran Fang started to tell the story, he couldn't help but ask: "Sir, where are Peach Blossom Island and White Camel Mountain?"
"Why haven't I heard of these places in Da Qin?"
"And Hong Qigong's favorite beggar's chicken, hundred-flower chicken, and good soup are all really edible?"
Ran Fang, who was reading a story written by Ben Junli, put down the book in his hand when he heard this and became somewhat interested in his question.
He thought for a moment and said, "Of course those foods are real, I'm afraid the restaurant will make them in the future."
"As for Peach Blossom Island, it should be in Kuaiji County, but it may not be called that name now."
"The White Camel Mountain is far away in the Western Region, and it should not yet belong to the Qin Dynasty."
"Not returned to the Qin Dynasty?" Ben Junli did not react for a moment. He couldn't help but said, "Your Majesty unified the six countries long ago, and now there is still a place that does not belong to the Qin Dynasty?"
"Sir, is this serious?"
Seeing that Ben Junli was quite serious about this matter and seemed to be unconvinced by Ran Fang's suggestion that there were other places besides Da Qin, Ran Fang couldn't help but shake his head.
He sighed: "This world is so big, but there is not only one Great Qin."
"Don't forget that the land of Baiyue has just been recovered by the Qin Dynasty, and the Xiongnu is still eyeing it in the north. Do you think the Qin Dynasty is the only one in the world?"
Hearing this, Ben Junli nodded, thinking that Ran Fang's words were very reasonable.
Because of this, he became even more interested in the Western Regions Ran Fang mentioned.
"Then where is this Western Region?"
"I don't think I've ever heard of it."
Seeing the strong interest in his eyes, Ran Fang thought that if he knew that there were many places in the world, wouldn't he have to tell him about it for several more days?
After thinking about it, he decided to give a rough idea.
"The Western Regions are some countries in the west of the Qin Dynasty. There should be thirty-two small countries in total. Although their areas are not large, they add up to a large area."
"The Western Regions not only have White Camel Mountain, but there are also many delicacies that are not available in Da Qin."
"Not only the Western Regions, but also delicacies from many places, such as corn, tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, etc., can only be found in a place called America."
"In particular, corn and potatoes are very easy to grow. If they can be introduced to Da Qin, then Da Qin's food crisis will be solved."
"You can even keep the endowment, and this food will no longer be a problem that troubles Great Qin."
Ben Junli couldn't help but be attracted by Ran Fang's description, especially the things he had never heard of before. He couldn't help but wonder, are all these things edible?
Or gourmet food?
"Can this be taken seriously?!"
Suddenly, a rough and surprising voice sounded from outside the house, startling both people in the house.
After seeing the person clearly, Ran Fang and Ben Junli stood up at the same time and bowed towards the door.
"See Your Majesty, Mr. Fusu."
"Get up."
Ying Zheng waved his hand casually, walked to the front hall, and sat casually on a chair.
Just now at the door, he heard Ran Fang talking about the affairs of the Western Region countries. He didn't want to disturb their conversation, but he didn't expect to hear Ran Fang talking about food later, so he couldn't help but speak.
Therefore, just after sitting down, he looked directly at Ran Fang and asked: "Are all the things you said just now true?"
"Are corn and potatoes better than wheat and chestnuts?"
"Where is America?"
Fusu, who was following Ying Zheng, had some doubts in his eyes, but he lacked the energy of the past.
He just looked at Ran Fang with a slightly resentful expression, and it was obvious that he had some grudges because of what happened last time.
Seeing the slightly excited look in Ying Zheng's eyes, Ran Fang knew that Ben Junli might be joking about this matter, but Ying Zheng would definitely take him seriously.
At this moment, he was a little confused. What if he told Ying Zheng and Ying Zheng finally asked him to go to America?
With Da Qin's navigation technology, if he could go to America, he might lose his life in the sea, right?
However, if he didn't make it clear, Ying Zheng probably wouldn't let him go so easily.
After thinking about it, Ran Fang said carefully: "Your Majesty, America is in a far away place. It is a place that goes all the way south from Daqin to the very edge. It takes several years of wandering on the sea in a big ship to reach a place."
"Although the output of these things is high, if you want to get them, you will have a narrow escape."
"Given that Da Qin's current ships cannot withstand storms and waves, it is simply impossible to go to America."
Listening to Ran Fang's words, both inside and outside, he advised himself not to think too much. Ying Zheng felt a little disappointed, thinking that it would be easy to get this thing.
But he became more interested in this place. The harder it was to get something, the more he wanted to challenge it.
"It's so..."
"Since you know where America is, you can probably draw it, right?"
Seeing that Ran Fang wanted to persuade, Ying Zheng interrupted him directly, "It's difficult for me to know this, and I won't let anyone find it easily."
"But this matter is indeed worth doing. You can prepare early. Maybe it will be realized one day?"
Since Ying Zheng said so, Ran Fang can no longer refuse.
He could only say in a deep voice: "Here."
"If I want to draw a map of Da Qin's journey to America, I'm afraid it will take a few days."
"When I finish the painting, I will personally deliver it to the palace for His Majesty to take a look at."
Only then did Ying Zheng feel satisfied, with a slight smile on his face.
Then, he continued: "Just now you said that Da Qin's ships cannot withstand wind and waves, so you must know how to make better ships, right?"
"Then you will be responsible for building the ship."
"There's no need to rush this. You can do it slowly."
Ran Fang knew that Ying Zheng would not let it go easily when he heard the news.
Although he said he didn't care, every word he said was that he wanted to go to America and get the things he just said.
At this moment, Ran Fang felt very regretful. He shouldn't have talked so much to Ben Junli on a whim just now, and now he had trapped himself in it.
He also asked himself to build a boat. He knew how to ride a boat, but boat building was really not his strong point.
Even so, he could only bite the bullet and say: "Here."
Ran Fang hoped to change the topic quickly, otherwise he was worried that Ying Zheng would think of something else and leave it to him.
Thinking about it, he asked in a low voice: "Not only is Your Majesty here today, what else do you want to tell me about?"
