Die without hesitation

In fact, the food brought by the attendants was just some common snacks in later generations.

But for the big man who still lacks in food types and methods, they are all novel foods.

Cai Ting gently picked up a piece of pastry with chopsticks and sighed: "Today I finally understand what it means to never tire of fine food and fine food!"

Zhang Yue smiled and put a piece of pastry into his mouth, chewed it slowly and said to Cai Ting:

"Mr. Cai deliberately promoted these foods, what do you think?"

After Cai Ting swallowed the food in his mouth, he frowned: "I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you, Your Majesty. These delicacies are so exquisite, I might start a trend of luxury among the people!"

Zhang Yue laughed when he heard this, picked up a piece of cake and said, "How much does Mr. Cai think such a piece of cake is worth?"

Cai Ting made some calculations in his mind and said: "Should it be 8 to 10 yuan?"

Zhang Yue's smile became even brighter at this time.

Cai Ting thought about it for a moment and then said: "Is it only three to five yuan?"

He trimmed his long beard: "If it only costs three to five dollars, it would be a good thing to promote it..."

Zhang Yue smiled, shook his head and said, "The pastries on our table only cost six five-bead coins in total!"

As soon as Zhang Yue said this, Cai Ting looked surprised: "How can such exquisite food be so cheap?"

Zhang Yue smiled and asked, "Don't you believe Mr. Cai?"

Cai Ting picked up another piece of pastry, stared at it and said, "It's hard to believe that such a delicate and delicious thing only needs six five beads!"

Zhang Yue shook his head and said: "It would be cheaper to do it outside!"

Although Cai Ting believed that what Zhang Yue said was true, she still found it unbelievable.

The two of them were eating and chatting about the food.

After finishing the meal, Cai Ting asked to see how the food was made.

"Your Majesty, can I have a look at how this food is prepared?"

Zhang Yue naturally would not refuse this.

After the two of them finished their official duties, Zhang Yue took Cai Ting to the kitchen.

Cai Ting found that the servants in the kitchen were not surprised to see Zhang Yue coming. Obviously Zhang Yue should come often.

"My servant has seen the Lord, and the Lord has come up with something new to eat today!"

Sun Xing, who was in charge of the kitchen, came over at this time, while others in the kitchen continued to be busy.

"Meet Mr. Cai!"

Sun Xing first paid homage to Zhang Yue and then paid homage to Cai Ting.

Zhang Yue laughed and said, "Sun Xing, are there any chickens in the house?"

Sun Xing smiled and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Ever since we have raised chickens and ducks according to Your Majesty's order, we dare not say anything else, but there will be no shortage of chickens and ducks!"

Zhang Yue said: "That's good. I thought of something to eat today, and Mr. Cai is also here. You can make it..."

Sun Xing said: "Don't worry, Lord, as long as the Lord comes, I will definitely be able to do it!"

Zhang Yue then told about the pancake fruit of later generations.

After hearing this, Sun Xing said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Cai will wait for a moment, and my servant will be fine later!"

Just as Sun Xing was about to go down, Zhang Yue stopped him and said, "Sun Xing finds someone to make today's cake for Mr. Cai again!"

Although Sun Xing was confused, he quickly agreed.

Cai Ting looked at the people busy in the kitchen with interest.

Not long after, Sun Xing came back with a lunch box.

"Mr. Cai, come and try Sun Xing's craftsmanship!"

Zhang Yue called.

Cai Ting agreed and walked over.

Zhang Yue took Cai Ting to the small restaurant next to the kitchen

At this time, Sun Xing had already placed tableware on two of the tables.

A piece of golden food is placed in the middle of the dinner plate, which looks quite appetizing.

"Mr. Cai, come and try it!"

Zhang Yue greeted Cai Ting while walking towards the several cases.

Upon hearing this, Cai Ting also smiled and walked towards another case.

“How does it taste!”

Zhang Yue asked.

Cai Ting nodded, "It is indeed a rare delicacy!"

"That's good, that's good!"

Zhang Yue had a satisfied smile on his face.

Cai Ting was relieved with her chopsticks and said, "Your Majesty, shouldn't you just let me taste this delicacy?"

Zhang Yue laughed when he heard this: "Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from Mr. Cai!"

Zhang Yue also put down the tableware at this time.

"Cai Gong, in addition to promoting these fresh foods, I also intend to promote the raising of chickens and ducks!"

Cai Ting heard the words and said: "I would like to hear the details!"

Zhang Yue said: "Promoting the raising of chickens and ducks can enrich people's dining tables and suppress the locust plague..."

Zhang Yue's words made Cai Ting very excited: "Your Majesty, this chicken and duck can also suppress the locust plague!"

No matter what era it is in, locust plagues have fatal damage to agricultural production.

How could Cai Ting not be excited when he heard that chickens and ducks could suppress the locust plague?

Zhang Yue said with a smile: "Mr. Cai, please rest assured that you are not talking nonsense!"

"The chickens and ducks like to eat locusts the most, especially their larvae!"

Cai Ting was stunned when he heard this, and then asked doubtfully: "The locusts still have larvae!"

Zhang Yue suddenly realized after hearing this. At this time, almost everyone did not know the origin of the locusts.

It is precisely because of this that people regard locust plagues as disasters sent from heaven.

The locust plague was even regarded as a sign of the emperor's immorality.

Zhang Yue then patiently told Cai Ting about locusts and the causes of the locust plague.

Zhang Yue continued his lecture until nightfall.

After Zhang Yue's explanation, Cai Ting finally understood the origin of locusts and the cause of the locust plague.

"After hearing what Junhou said today, it will be much easier to deal with locust plagues in the future!"

When he said this, Cai Ting suddenly thought of the locust plague he encountered when he was a child.

If they had known this knowledge back then, their parents would not have become merchant pariahs just to make a living.

However, he felt relieved in the blink of an eye. If his family had not become a merchant, he would not have met Zhang Yue, and he would not have the fate he has now.

Cai Ting sighed, "The Lord's words can really save countless lives... In the third year of Yuan Ding, there was a great locust in Guandong, and the red land was thousands of miles away..."

Zhang Yue looked ashamed when he heard this. He should have spread this knowledge long ago.

It's a pity that there has been no locust plague in the Western Regions in recent years, so I don't take it seriously.

Now I think about it, if I had spread this knowledge about locusts earlier, how much damage would have been avoided by the big man.

Fortunately, it is not too late to remedy the situation, and spreading the word now will greatly benefit the world.

At this time, Cai Ting bowed solemnly to Zhang Yue.

"You should convey this knowledge to Chang'an!"

Zhang Yue nodded and said: "I should compile this into a policy and send it to Chang'an!"

Cai Ting bowed again and said, "This is the blessing of the world!"

Zhang Yue waved his hand, "I have to work hard for Cai Gong to promote the methods of raising chickens and ducks and preventing locust plagues to the entire Western Region!"

Cai Ting said: "Don't worry, sir, this is Ting's responsibility!"

Next, the two of them discussed various issues related to people's livelihood in detail, and the two of them became more and more enthusiastic as they talked.

The two of them unknowingly talked all night long.

After a night passed, looking at the sun jumping on the horizon, the two of them looked at each other and laughed.

Cai Ting bowed to Zhang Yue and said: "Ting seems to have seen the real prosperous age... Ting is willing to wait for you... and he will not die!"
