The First Emperor was not a man who was content with the status quo, as can be seen from the various methods he used after he unified the world.
He never stopped for a moment, even if the road ahead was unknown and no one had ever traveled before.
No matter how difficult it is!
"Great Jiuzhou!" the First Emperor murmured slightly!
Zhao Si gave too little information. Is Great Kyushu really the future direction of Great Qin?
The First Emperor didn't know either, but that didn't stop him from sending people to truly explore and collect information about the Great Kyushu!
This time it’s not about seeking immortality! He will arrange more professional manpower!
To observe the climate, population, mineral deposits, and collect the national conditions of various countries, he needs to have a clearer understanding of the Great Kyushu before he can analyze whether the steps of the Great Qin should be blocked by the world!
Or!
If you can’t do it now, you may not be able to do it in the future!
Da Qin's pace cannot stop, and Da Qin also needs a direction.
To be precise, the moment he learned about Dajiuzhou and saw the world map, the First Emperor naturally wanted to take it as his own and bring it under the rule of Daqin!
But the First Emperor was not a madman, and he would not sail the battleship Da Qin into the unknown sea just because of a few words.
One lifetime is not enough, what about thousands of lifetimes?
Just as he fought for six generations, he also took it for granted that his descendants should have their own general aspirations and ambitions, and he would also give his descendants a direction and make some trivial preparations.
Da Qin may not be able to set sail now, but Da Qin will eventually set sail.
The moment they learned about the vast world, the battleship Da Qin should be ready to set sail.
Twenty sea ships are not enough, so two hundred!
Two thousand ships, twenty thousand ships!
Today and future generations will one day conquer the Great Kyushu!
After all, after Shang Yang's reform, the Qin State had not produced a faint king worthy of special mention for several consecutive generations. Even Ying Dang, who died holding a tripod, still had indelible achievements.
As the initiator of the past and the only emperor to have unified the world so far, the First Emperor naturally believed that his descendants should also be outstanding enough.
"Fusu..." The First Emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, with a somewhat complicated look in his eyes.
In fact, the descendants of the First Emperor are really outstanding, for example, Prince Fusu!
He is brave and well-received! Whether it is handling government affairs in the court or managing local affairs in Longxi, they are all outstanding!
It was so good that even if his political ideas were different from those of the First Emperor, he still had countless supporters.
Although this group of supporters is a mixed bag, Fusu's personality charm is also evident.
While he was thinking, Zhao Gao's voice sounded outside the door.
"Your Majesty, it's time to eat."
The First Emperor gathered his thoughts and prepared to eat.
As for meals, the common cooking methods are still roasting and boiling.
But because of the new chili cumin, the taste is very different from before.
The craftsmanship of the imperial chefs in the palace is worthy of recognition. They lack materials and tools, but they do not lack the ability to control the heat and the taste of the ingredients.
After getting the chili pepper and cumin, the royal chef in the palace figured out how to use them in a short time. With his superb cooking skills, the food he produced was much better than that produced by Zhao Si and Wang Li.
The First Emperor took a bite of the mutton with his chopsticks. The mutton smell was very light, the spiciness was moderate, and the meat was extremely tender.
Compared with the previous hot pot cooked meat, it is a little lighter, but the texture and taste are even better.
The same goes for the roasted squab on the side. It is charred on the outside and tender on the inside. It has a rich aroma, is garnished with cumin, and has a light layer of honey seasoning. Paired with the superb cooking skills of the imperial chef, it can be said that the combination of food and spices is brought to the extreme.
Spices are indeed a good thing, just the smell of them makes people want to eat, not to mention that the memory of the delicious food at Lantian before was still lingering in the mind of the First Emperor.
Although the First Emperor's taste was not heavy, when he tasted chili and cumin for the first time, he felt that the food in the past was rather bland and tasteless.
I took a small taste and it tasted good, a bit lighter than the hot pot I had last time.
This was more in line with the taste of the First Emperor, who never emphasized salt.
The first few bites were quite pleasant to eat, but after a few bites, they felt quite boring, and the First Emperor frowned slightly.
In comparison, I felt that the previous hot pot was more spicy and more fragrant. For a moment, it conflicted with the light taste of the First Emperor.
It doesn’t make sense…
The First Emperor took a few more bites. It was indeed not as straightforward as the strong stimulation of the taste buds, but it also had a different flavor. The feeling fed back by the stomach was indeed intuitive.
I can’t eat any more!
I can’t eat anymore!
The First Emperor's lack of appetite was like this before, and he couldn't eat after two bites.
Things that I thought were delicious in the past also seemed bland and tasteless.
After all, the current ingredients use chili pepper and cumin, so it doesn't taste the same, but you can clearly feel that you really can't eat too much.
Maybe... the stronger the taste will make it more appetizing?
The First Emperor did not blame the imperial chef for making the food too bland. His taste had always been bland, and he did not specifically tell the cook to cook more.
However, as he got older and knew that his body was too weak, the First Emperor had no choice but to order Zhao Gao to go down and make another portion, just like Zhao Si's hotpot recipe. Zhao Gao went with him that day. Although he didn't serve it, Zhao Si Zhao Gao remembered clearly how to do it.
As a close official of the First Emperor and the official of the CRRC of the Great Qin Dynasty, Zhao Gao was always very effective in handling such matters. He remembered every detail, and he knew all the little habits and hobbies of the First Emperor.
Zhao Gao perfectly relayed every step. Because there was no copper pot and the first emperor was waiting to eat, he chose to use a copper tripod instead.
After waiting for a long time, the bottom of the pot was finally freshly baked, and slices of beef, sheep, deer and game meat were taken away, as well as fresh seasonal vegetables and fruits. There were also various kinds of mushrooms in the pot, some dried and some fresh. Picked fresh.
The bottom of the pot is cooked very well, at least better than the one made by Zhao Si. The main reason is that the bottom ingredients in the palace are obviously richer and there are more choices.
Familiar appearance, familiar soup base, familiar way of shabu-shabu and eating.
The First Emperor smelled the aroma of the boiling soup base.
Right, this is the taste!
It does whet your appetite just by smelling it, he thought to himself.
"It seems that this spice is mainly about stimulation. If it is too little, it will not be enough to whet your appetite!"
Place the meat in the cauldron and let it boil for a while!
The First Emperor fished out the meat at the right time. He had previously disliked Zhao Si for cooking the meat too old.
The First Emperor's timing was very accurate. The meat was just cooked, but not overcooked. It was basically stuck when it was just cooked!
Putting it in his mouth, the First Emperor frowned deeply!
The taste was right, but not entirely right. The Emperor was certain that it even tasted better than the last time.
Delicious, still delicious!
I just feel like something is missing and I feel uncomfortable eating.
(The character Fusu is not that simple, nor was he brainwashed by Confucianism. I will write about it later. Quick access to monthly recommended tickets.)
