"I'm lucky enough to have seen it... I've seen it! Hehe!"
Fan Kuai's shock reminded Xiao Zhengtai.
He is just a baby under six years old, and he cannot act too knowledgeable. It is better to restrain himself a little!
Low profile!
Low profile!
"The young master is so awesome. We have never heard of this thing, but the young master actually knows its name!"
Fan Kuai raised his hand in admiration.
"Have you forgotten? Our young master is the apprentice of a god, what don't you know?"
Wang Li immediately flattered him, and then said with a smile: "That... young master, we have never seen this thing, can you...? Let us try it too?"
"Get out! Get out! Get on your horse and get out...!"
Before Ying Feiyu could say anything, Fan Kuai immediately pointed at his nose and scolded him, "Who just laughed at my ugly fruit? Are you embarrassed to ask for it now? Why are you so thick-skinned?"
"Look at you, you are tall and thick, but your mind is smaller than that needle nose? Haven't we never seen this before? Isn't it, young master?"
Yingchi smiled and raised his chin towards Xiaozhengtai. Regardless of the situation, he quickly grabbed a handful from Fan Kuai's arms when he wasn't paying attention.
"Haha! Let me tell you, you are so unreliable, you even hide your secrets!"
Seeing that he still had some in his arms, Yingchi, Wang Li and others immediately burst into laughter.
"You... you...!"
Fan Kuai was very angry, "Don't accuse me falsely. I just showed it to the young master first and didn't say that was all. If the young master likes it, I will definitely take it out. There are many on the trees in the city. Now I can climb a tree and pick them all!"
Xiao Zhengtai had no intention to care about these things, and all his attention was focused on the few lychees in his hand. He couldn't help but muttered, "Looking back at Chang'an, there are piles of embroidery, and thousands of doors are opening on the top of the mountain. Riding on the red dust concubine, she laughed, and she couldn't help but mumble. People know it’s Lychee coming!”
"What?"
The few people didn't hear what was said clearly, they only heard the word "lychee" and asked suspiciously.
"Nothing, just try it. This fruit is very delicious!"
"okay!"
A few people were not polite, imitating the little shot and peeling off the peel, immediately revealing the crystal clear flesh, tender and smooth, and fragrant in the mouth. Several people couldn't help but squinted their eyes and enjoyed the sweetness of the lychee!
"Little Master, how does it taste?"
Fan Kuai looked forward to it.
"Well, not bad, this is the best lychee I have ever eaten!"
Xiaozheng Taihao praised generously.
This is also his true words!
In order to facilitate transportation, the lychees of later generations were picked and sold before they were ripe. The lychees were not sweet enough at all, and some were even a little sour. The taste was definitely not as good as naturally mature lychees!
Moreover, now there is no catalyst from pesticides and chemical fertilizers, so the taste is more natural!
After receiving Xiao Zhengtai's affirmation, Fan Kuai turned his attention to Wang Li and others, rolled his eyes, and asked angrily, "Where are you? Do you still think my fruits are poisonous?"
"Hey, misunderstanding, it's all misunderstanding. This is the most delicious fruit I have ever eaten!"
"Yes, yes, I have never tasted such delicious fruit. I really want to take it back to Xianyang for my grandpa and dad to try!"
"It's fragrant and sweet. It would be great if I could eat such delicious food in the future!"
The three of them were full of praise after tasting it.
"I'm afraid it's impossible to bring him back to Xianyang!"
However, Koshota shook his head.
"Why?"
"Lychees have too much moisture and are very difficult to transport. Considering the weather in Lingnan, they will go bad within two days of picking them, let alone transporting them back to Xianyang!"
They were all cavalry when they came, and it took more than ten days.
When we return, we have to take the surrendered soldiers with us. The army is dragging its feet and it will definitely take a few more days. By the time we get to Xianyang, the lychees are rotten into water!
"Oh! That's such a pity. Grandpa and dad may have never eaten such delicious fruit, and Wan'er, she likes sweet things the most, and she can't eat it now!"
Wang Li shook his head in disappointment.
Master? Wan'er?
Wan'er would definitely be happy if she brought lychee back!
And my mother, she has been living in Yunyang before, and she must have never eaten sweet lychees!
Thinking of this, Xiao Zhengtai's eyes suddenly lit up, and she seemed to have thought of something. She smiled and said: "Fan Kuai, you take people to pick lychees for me. The more the better!"
"Wang Li, you take people to find sugar cane. The more the better. I have a way to bring lychees to Xianyang City!"
"sugar cane?"
Wang Li didn't know why. He had never heard of this new word, okay?
Where to find it?
"Ask the local people, they will tell you!"
Like lychees, there is still a lot of sugar cane growing in Lingnan, but people in this era did not know how to use sugar cane to make sucrose.
"yes!"
Wang Li accepted the order and turned around to do it.
"Little Master, didn't you just say that you couldn't bring this delicious fruit back to Xianyang? Why did you suddenly find a way?"
Fan Kuai blinked his eyes as big as copper bells and asked.
"Hehe, I'll keep it secret for the time being. When you get everything ready, you will naturally know!"
Little Shota smiled mysteriously, showing her small white teeth, which was very cute.
Although lychees cannot be stored for a long time, canned lychees can!
Sugarcane has been introduced since the time of King Zhou Xuan of the Zhou Dynasty and grew in the Lingnan area, but it has not been widely planted and used!
Harvest the sugar cane and boil it into sugar, then boil the boiled sugar and the picked lychees into canned lychees. You can definitely keep them in Xianyang for your mother and Wan'er to taste!
"Okay, I'll do it now!"
Fan Kuai happily agreed and led his men out of the palace.
Lychee is a rare delicacy for them, but for the locals, it is nothing rare!
Every household has several lychee trees, and there are even lychee trees everywhere on the streets and on the mountains!
After Fan Kuai led his people to pick the items on the street that no one wanted, he went to people's homes to buy them!
When the people learned that it was the young master who wanted it, they refused to take any money at all, and even enthusiastically helped climb the tree to pick lychees!
In their eyes, these lychees are worthless, and it is their honor to see the young master!
Fan Kuai and Wang Li moved quickly. At noon the next day, lychees and sugar cane were piled up in the palace!
The soldiers looked at the piles of fruits and were very curious!
"Is it possible that the young master wants to start a fruit business?"
"You big-headed idiot, I heard that this fruit is difficult to preserve and cannot be transported over long distances!"
"Yes, there are so many of them locally, and no one would spend money to buy them. How could they be selling fruits?"
"Then why did the young master pick so many fruits?"
"You guys are so ill-informed. I heard that the young master wants to use the bamboo poles over there to preserve these lychees, saying that they can be taken to Xianyang City!"
"bamboo……?"
The attention of the soldiers turned to the neat piles of sugar cane on the side.
This thing has one section at a time. At first glance, it looks almost like a bamboo pole!
