"His Royal Highness, does he know this fruit?"
Han Xin and others looked at him in surprise.
They brought it back because they wanted to share it with everyone, and they also wanted His Highness to recognize it. What kind of fruit is this?
Unexpectedly, His Highness the Crown Prince didn’t even look at it, he only knew it by smelling it!
"Yeah! I know a thing or two...!"
Ying Feiyu nodded very humbly, "But I only heard it from Master, I haven't actually eaten it, and I don't know much about it!"
In order not to make these guys suspicious, Xiaoshota moved the legendary master out again!
"Mangoes can be said to be full of treasures. Not only are they juicy and delicious, they can also be made into cans or jams, make wine, and be used as medicine! The flat core you mentioned has the effect of dispelling wind and relieving coughs, and the leaves and bark can be used to make dyes. !Due to its hard wood, it can also be used as furniture!”
"Hey! I didn't expect this fruit to have so many uses!"
Han Xin and others were suddenly shocked.
When they discovered this fruit, they only thought it had a unique taste and didn’t know anything else about it!
After His Highness the Prince said this, they realized the importance of this mango!
No wonder this fruit tree was planted in many places during the Mauryan Dynasty!
“Since this fruit is so good, let’s share some with everyone!”
Ying Zheng was very generous. With a wave of his hand, he called for small bowls and served everyone a small bowl.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
All the ministers shouted in unison, cupped their hands and thanked him.
When Han Xin and others described it before, they didn't feel anything.
After the prince explained this, they suddenly became very interested!
"Yeah! The taste of this fruit is indeed extraordinary, it has a unique aroma!"
The small bowl filled with canned mango was first handed to Ying Zheng.
After taking a sip, I was really shocked. I couldn't help but praise, "This fruit tastes really good, no worse than lychee!"
Since lychees are difficult to preserve, before the railway was built, Ying Zheng could not eat fresh lychees at all.
After Ying Feiyu put down Zhao Tuo's rebellion, he brought back some canned lychees. Only then did Ying Zheng know that fruits that were difficult to preserve could be canned, so he often asked Lingnan to send canned lychees as tribute!
Now that there are trains, it takes four or five days from Lingnan to Xianyang.
Put medium-ripe lychees on a train and ice them, and you can send them to the palace!
"Feiyu, come and have a try too!"
Hearing that Ying Feiyu had never tasted it, Fusu quickly called him over to try it together.
"good!"
Ying Feiyu immediately agreed without even thinking about it.
Not to mention, in the more than nine years since he came to Daqin, the types of fruits he has eaten are really limited!
I’ve never even seen a mango before, I’m so greedy!
Taking the small bowl and looking at the peeled and cored mango inside, Ying Feiyu immediately felt at ease.
After one sip, it still has that familiar taste!
"Yeah! Delicious!"
Apart from nodding, Ying Feiyu really didn't know what to say.
"It's a pity that the journey is far away. Otherwise, we can introduce it to Da Qin and let the people have a taste!"
After Fusu tasted it, he was quite pleasantly surprised, so he thought of planting it.
"Sir, before I left, I actually dug up a few and planted them in the soil, but I don't know if they will survive?"
Wang Li said with a smile.
"Oh? Where?"
Upon hearing this, Fusu immediately put down the remaining half of the bowl and asked with interest.
"Right in the cabin...!"
Wang Li pointed in the direction of the dock, "This kind of tree grew in the Maurya Dynasty, and it's hot there. We in Xianyang have entered winter now, and it's too cold, so we didn't dare to bring it out at all!"
"That's right! Mango trees need sufficient sunlight and temperature, and are not suitable for growing in Xianyang!"
Ying Feiyu nodded firmly.
"Ah? Then didn't I bring it back for nothing?"
Wang Li was slightly disappointed.
"It doesn't matter. The Academy of Agricultural Sciences has a greenhouse, and the temperature inside can be adjusted!"
Fusu seemed very excited and took the people to get it himself.
"So, our Daqin is not suitable for planting mango trees?"
Ying Zheng was a little tempted when he heard that the mango tree was full of treasures.
But if the growing environment is not suitable, then there is really nothing you can do!
"No! Although our climate in Xianyang is not suitable for the growth of mango trees, there is no problem at all in the Lingnan area!"
Lychees and bananas can grow very well in Lingnan, and mangoes are even better.
"That's great. I'll send people to the Maurya Dynasty to dig up saplings and plant them in Lingnan, so that the people in Daqin can taste this delicious fruit, haha!"
Ying Zheng decided immediately.
"In addition to Lingnan, mangoes can also be grown in Nanyang, but transportation is a problem and they can only be canned!"
The climate in Nanyang is warmer than that of Maurya, and it is also very suitable for mango growth!
However, mangoes have high water content and are difficult to preserve. It is impossible to transport fresh ones to various places in Daqin for sale!
"This mango has a unique aroma. Even if it is canned, it tastes good!"
Ying Zheng kept scooping canned mango into his mouth and kept praising him.
"Yeah! It's really good!"
Although the canned mango tastes a little worse, it is better because it is pure and natural. The mango flavor is rich and can be rated about eight points.
If the mango tree is successfully planted and the fresh fruit is picked and eaten directly, the taste will definitely be richer than this!
Ying Zheng finished three bowls of canned mangoes in one go, and he didn't stop until he burped!
The other ministers were too embarrassed to ask for more after finishing what they had in their hands. They could only agree while glancing at the jars containing cans.
The banquet lasted until very late. Ying Zheng and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty drank a lot of wine before returning home in joy!
The second day is about merit-based rewards. According to the size of the military merit, those who deserve the title will be awarded the title and those who deserve the money will be rewarded!
Now, in addition to Han Xin, Peng Yue, Fan Kuai and others who have been following Ying Feiyu have also been granted considerable official positions and been rewarded with houses, gold and silver!
But when Ying Feiyu came to Bieyuan, they were still here, training as usual, with no intention of leaving!
"Can you still stay in this villa like this prince for the rest of your life?"
Ying Feiyu put his hands on his hips and muttered angrily.
It always feels awkward to have guys like them hanging out under my nose, trying to do something.
"His Royal Highness is really right, we plan to stay in this villa for the rest of our lives!"
"That's right! We were all promoted by His Royal Highness, and we will protect His Royal Highness's courtyard for the rest of our lives!"
"right……!"
Several people spoke plausibly
When we originally selected these three thousand flying eagles, it was really just to look after his home and nursing home!
The money earned from doing business is his private property and must not be sent to the palace treasury!
So I put them all in a separate garden and hired people like them to guard them!
But now that there are banks, most of the money earned from various industries is sent to the banks for safekeeping.
What is stored in the Bieyuan are some famous calligraphy and paintings, precious jade articles and the like. How can we have so many people to protect them?
