"Haha, this is just a casual revelation from the official. In fact, it is far from the skills of those palace maid chefs. If the foreign master eats the dumplings made by the official, it will really make the official look bad. !”
Mr. Feng's polite flattery was, of course, a habit he had developed over the years in officialdom, and it was also a word of humility he got from the book.
"What's wrong with showing off one's face? Could it be that by eating that cook's dumplings, I'm trying to make them look good?"
Yang Shiqi immediately rolled up his sleeves and grabbed a ball of dough from the chopping board.
"It's all made by people. As long as it's edible and delicious, it doesn't matter who he is!"
Yang Shiqi kneaded the dough and found that the weather outside was too cold and the dough had become a little hard due to the cold, but this did not prevent it from being kneaded into dough to make dumplings.
"Come and eat your dumplings, and you can also try my cooking skills. I learned a skill from someone else all night last night, so I can use it today!"
Yang Shiqi made dumplings next to Mr. Feng. This scene made the people in the room look at each other in a daze.
Rather than just coming to make dumplings and join in the fun, they come here to meet other officials, talk about cooperation with them, and catch up on old times.
Of course, the main purpose is to be able to chat with the emperor. Maybe they will make the emperor happy and they will be promoted along the way.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Feng, who was currently in a rage, and Mr. Yang, the most powerful man, were both sitting outside the house together. This put them in trouble.
Go out now. It will be easy for people to see that you did it deliberately. If you don't go out now, you will waste this opportunity to get close to Mr. Yang and Mr. Feng. This is a missed opportunity.
If I had known that they would be like those two inconspicuous little officials, they would just go out to say hello, and then bump into the chief assistant, Mr. Yang.
"Oh, if I had known I would have gone out too!"
"Actually, I also noticed that the person making dumplings outside was Mr. Feng, but when I saw that all the adults didn't go, I also sat in the house!"
"But what I never expected is that the relationship between Mr. Feng and Mr. Yang can be so good!"
Naturally, these include some officials whose status is no less than that of Mr. Feng. For them, the relationship with Mr. Feng is indeed important and dispensable, but they can't stand it. Another Mr. Yang comes later. This is Yang Shiqi, who once supervised the country. ah!
And as we all know, Master Yang and Master Su have an excellent relationship, and they can even be inseparable from His Majesty!
When they saw the two petty officials sitting next to Mr. Feng outside, they felt so envious and jealous that they wanted to take their place from now on!
And these two officials were filled with joy, and they could even chat with Mr. Yang from time to time!
This is something you can’t buy no matter how much money you spend!
Although he didn't get anything substantial, if Mr. Yang sees their names when he gets promoted in the future, he might go out of his way to get some!
At this moment, Su Wu's figure also appeared in the courtyard of the imperial dining room, and he naturally sat next to Yang Shiqi.
Although Su Wu does not have any high-ranking position, he has been following His Majesty since he was still a prince.
In terms of the degree of trust His Majesty has in him, he is no less than Yang Shiqi!
"Sir Feng, I heard that His Majesty has given the Ministry of Industry a new task. Can you tell me?"
"Well, it's just that His Majesty came up with a new machine called a steam engine, and then His Majesty gave the whole matter to Zhang Qixin!"
"Tell me, why didn't you see that boy today? It turns out he was busy!"
When Su Wu arrived, the two petty officials beside them were surprised and happy.
Master Su and Master Yang are here. If your Majesty comes, will you have to sit here too?
If Yang Shiqi's arrival was more surprising than frightening in their hearts, but when Su Wu also came here, they were already far more frightened than surprised!
Because the two of them come together, that is the completion of His Majesty's summoning technique!
They don't have the courage to face the current emperor directly!
After all, the two of them are only in the seventh rank now. Think about the seventh-rank county magistrates in those places. Anyone who sees the emperor will be scared to death. Even the seventh-rank magistrates who have no stains on their bodies and have not committed any crimes. , they were all scared to death.
At this moment, both of them had the idea of leaving their legs and leaving here quickly.
That is Your Majesty, the current Emperor, the most noble and noble person in the world!
This is not something that these two little little shrimps and crabs will be able to talk to!
Moreover, when these two people get together, they open and close their mouths to discuss important national and world affairs, His Majesty's schedule and mood, as well as the policies and plans he wants to implement in the future.
This is not something that these two little seventh-grade officials can get involved in. They may not even be able to manage the place clearly now, let alone such a major event involving the country.
"By the way, Su Wu, didn't His Majesty ask you to go to the back mountain yesterday? Why did I see that His Majesty looked very bad when he came back!"
No, as soon as Yang Shiqi spoke, Mr. Feng on the side immediately turned all his attention to the dumplings in front of him, trying his best to listen as little as possible to the conversation between the two of them.
If a scandal about His Majesty breaks out from their mouths, and then His Majesty learns about it, they will have to live with their heads high.
"What else could it be? The potatoes planted in the back hill must have gone bad!"
Potatoes? Is there something wrong with such a high-yielding grain?
"What went wrong? Is it related to next year's planting and production?"
Yang Shiqi's face became serious. Potatoes and sweet potatoes are the top priority for next year. If something goes wrong, half of the food industry will collapse!
"It is designated that we will not be able to plant it next year. According to His Majesty, if you want to recover, you will have to wait at least three to five years!"
Three to five years?
This is great!
The situation is so serious!
Su Wu then told Yang Shiqi everything that happened in the back mountain.
"how so?"
Yang Shiqi is very concerned about potato cultivation. Even the old farmers who grow potatoes are carefully selected by him!
But now, how could it become like this?
Damn it, if I had known this, no matter how busy I was, I would have gone to the back mountain to take a look, and I couldn't just listen to the old farmer's words.
"This matter is my fault. It is all my responsibility. Your Majesty is not at fault. It is me who failed to fulfill my duty of supervision!" (End of Chapter)
