Everyone ate so happily that they no longer looked like the people at the top of the empire.
Wang Jian patted his belly and felt extremely comfortable.
"If I can eat such a delicious meal in my life, even if I have to die immediately, I won't have any regrets in my heart."
Ying Zheng pointed at his nose and cursed with a smile: "What are you talking about, you old man?"
"Now the method of castrating pigs is not a top secret. Can't you just ask Chen Ke to give you a recipe for these dishes later?" "
After saying that, he also asked Chen Ke curiously: "Chen Ke, how do you make this food so delicious?"
"Is it just the pork?"
Chen Ke didn't dare to take credit and said calmly: "Your Majesty, when making these dishes, castrated pork is one thing."
"The method used is "fried" is another aspect. "
"Sauteing is different from boiling and steaming. Stir-frying uses oil and can bring out the aroma in the food to the maximum extent."
“And the most important thing is the seasoning that goes into it.”
Chen Ke talked about several condiments without changing his expression, and the names of these condiments even made Wang Jian feel a little scared.
"No wonder this dish is so delicious. It turns out you used spices worth thousands of dollars?"
Wang Jian smacked his lips, feeling a little surprised.
"If it were me, I wouldn't be willing to use it."
Although Ying Zheng was also surprised, he didn't feel anything.
The left and right are just spices. He is the emperor, how can he still feel that these things cannot be used?
But I still think Chen Ke is extravagant.
"Originally, when I looked at your life, I thought you were too frugal."
Ying Zheng said with emotion: "Who would have thought that today's meal would let me know."
"It's not that you are frugal, but that you are extravagant in another aspect."
"You don't focus on living, traveling, or wearing clothes. You guys only focus on the desires of your mouth and tongue."
Chen Ke chuckled and cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, what is the meaning of life?"
"It's just eating and drinking."
"As for living, the house given by His Majesty is luxurious enough. As for wearing it, the clothes on my body are also carefully sewn."
“I can wear it and it’s very comfortable.”
"Why do you have to wear gold and silver?"
Chen Ke looked at Ying Zheng and said, "Besides, I think these "spice" are probably a kind of seasoning in themselves. "
"It's just that we haven't found another use for them."
Chen Ke's voice was filled with yearning: "Your Majesty, if we could find the seeds of these spices and grow them ourselves, wouldn't they be so expensive?"
"By then, will these things become "seasonings" for ordinary people? "
After listening to Chen Ke's words, Ying Zheng also had some thoughts.
This makes sense.
If the seeds of these spices can really be obtained from the Western Regions and planted in the vast land of the Central Plains, will these spices become popular?
He pondered for a moment: "Will the popularization of these condiments be good for the people?"
Chen Ke nodded: "Your Majesty, the only benefit is probably that it allows the people to live a better life without having to eat tasteless food."
In fact, Chen Ke also feels that popularizing seasonings at this time is not a good thing.
Because the people still can't have enough to eat, eating well is not the first thing they think about.
He changed his mind.
"But if these things can be grown, the nobles will buy them for the sake of their mouths - if His Majesty orders it."
"In this way, people will have one more way to obtain money."
"What's more, the cultivation of these things does not require fertile land, nor does it require large tracts of land."
"It can be planted in the mountains, at the doorstep, or even in the courtyard of your home."
Ying Zheng nodded: "In that case, one day I will send one person as an envoy to the Western Regions to find the seeds of these things."
This is nothing more than a trivial matter.
After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he looked at the food in front of him and suddenly felt emotional.
"Although there is three-crop rice now, it cannot be promoted nationwide."
“Is there any satiating food in this world that can be promoted nationwide?”
Wang Jian, Li Si, and Feng Quji, who had been silent at the banquet, were all silent. Is there really such food?
Only Chen Ke remained indifferent.
He looked at Ying Zheng and said: "Your Majesty, the world is so big. There will always be new food seeds in the Western Regions, and even beyond the Western Regions, the land beyond the ocean, where the descendants of the Shang Dynasty live."
"The climate in the north and south of our Qin Dynasty is different. There is rice, millet, and grass. How about another world separated by countless oceans?"
Chen Ke's voice was gentle, as if comforting.
"After Xu Fu comes back, Xu Fu can continue to set off to find the land of the descendants of the Shang Dynasty."
"I hope that at that time, I can bring good news to Great Qin."
At this time, Feng Quji and his son looked at each other.
Feng Jie stood up, with a little determination in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, I would like to send an envoy to the Western Regions for Your Majesty to explore and see if there are food seeds in the Western Regions that are different from those of Great Qin."
"I hope your Majesty will approve it."
Feng Quji, who was sitting there, looked at his son and couldn't help but feel a burst of pride in his heart.
They had already completed what the emperor had asked them to do.
Today the emperor asked them to come, which means that the core level of Da Qin has reopened to them.
But for Feng Quji and his son, this period of time has actually made them reflect on their past.
Suddenly, they discovered something.
Wang Jian led thousands of troops to conquer six countries, and even destroyed several countries, which is well-known in history.
Li Si had policies such as writing the same text and running cars on the same track, which can be remembered in history.
Meng Tian guarded northern Xinjiang, and his name will remain in history.
Are they father and son?
Today was the opportunity, so Feng Jie no longer hesitated and stepped forward.
Ying Zheng looked at Feng Jie standing there, and then at Feng Quji's expression. He immediately stood up, clapped his hands and laughed.
"Hahahahahahaha, okay!"
"Our Great Qin has all the virtuous ministers, how can it not prosper?"
Everyone praised and said: "Your Majesty, for ten thousand years, the Great Qin, the Great Qin——"
...........
In the village.
The temperature in summer is very hot, but in the blink of an eye, the temperature changes sweep across.
A chill came from nowhere.
The sudden change in temperature made Xiang Liang's already uncomfortable body even more uncomfortable.
Now I have been lingering on the hospital bed for three or four days.
"Cough...cough...cough."
Xiang Liang couldn't help coughing, with a dazed look on his face.
He looked at Xiang Ji beside the bed: "Yu'er, what time is it now?"
Xiang Ji looked at his uncle on the sickbed and suddenly felt a mixture of emotions in his heart.
He whispered: "Uncle, it's already time."
Xiang Liang looked at Xiang Ji and chuckled: "Is it time?"
He looked at the sun outside the window: "Forget it, help me out and let me shine in the sun."
