Fangzheng walked to Emperor Jing's side with a long stride and said, "Your Majesty, I'm rude."

As he spoke, he picked up a handful of shredded potatoes with his chopsticks and stuffed them into his mouth.

While chewing, he said: "This dish is not poisonous, it is just too spicy. This spiciness is different from the spiciness of ordinary dogwood and pepper."

Li Yuanzhao quickly took a bite and said, "Father, no problem! I've eaten at Lao Fang's place before!"

Emperor Jing waved his hand calmly: "I know, no fuss."

Guo Tianyang stood there awkwardly.

Is there any special spicy food or new seasoning? Is there another moth in Taoyuan County?

What you do makes our family look like ignorant idiots.

"Your Majesty, this slave is eating...there seems to be some beef in it."

"Your Majesty! There is indeed beef in these dishes, but this beef died unfortunately during the cannon test in Taoyuan County yesterday. It is just used as an auxiliary ingredient for the new dishes for everyone to taste today." Fang Zhengyi explained quickly.

Emperor Jing nodded, raised his hand and said, "Well, please use your chopsticks. Dear friends, don't be cautious. Can Fang Qing still harm me? Eat."

After saying that, he picked up a piece of potato with his chopsticks, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully.

After tasting it for a while, he exclaimed: "It tastes great! This dish is wonderful. It has a wonderful taste that I have never tasted before."

His Majesty is so well-informed that he gave such a high evaluation?

Now that all doubts were gone, everyone no longer hesitated and picked up their chopsticks to eat.

The banquet still adheres to the luxurious style of Taoyuan County. Every hard dish is filled with thick oil and red sauce, and the technology is not all hard work.

The beef stew with tomatoes is cooked over a high heat, so you can pick it up with chopsticks.

The crispy and rotten beef trembled and spread out between the chopsticks, and the rich gravy dripped down.

The soup and meat are stuffed into the mouth. In addition to the overflowing meat aroma, there is also the fragrance of tomatoes, which whets your appetite.

Li Yuanzhao always shows off his arms without caring about his image.

Emperor Jing didn't even hold it. He was in a good mood today and tried several new dishes. He was very satisfied.

Especially when I taste spicy dishes, I like them even more.

The spiciness is not too strong, but the slightly spicy stimulation will undoubtedly increase the appetite to another level.

Others behaved in a similar way, changing glasses while enjoying their meal.

Occasionally discuss the taste of the dishes.

Someone asked Fang Zhengyi what ingredient this was, and Fang Zhengyi waved his hands and smiled without answering.

I don’t have time to answer now, I’m busy picking up food for my father-in-law-to-be!

After three drinks and five dishes, the atmosphere is still full of warmth.

Everyone present slowed down their eating speed, occasionally taking a bite, with a faint sense of satiety on their faces.

Fang Zheng stood up at the right time and said loudly: "Are you all satisfied with this meal?"

"Satisfied." Many people echoed.

Listening to novel songs, eating novel dishes, and adding the novel weapons from before.

It’s a new experience every day on board, what else is there to be dissatisfied about?

No one would dare to believe this experience if I brag about it!

"Master Fang, many people have asked you just now what we are eating today, should we reveal the secret now?"

"Could this be a specialty of Taoyuan County?"

Fang Zheng laughed: "Okay, since everyone has eaten, I won't hide it."

"There are three ingredients you are eating today that are not available on the market. One of them is potatoes, which are stewed with beef."

"The second one is called tomato and tastes like fruit."

"The third type is called chili pepper. I don't need to explain more, right?"

"These three crops were all obtained from King Wu. No one knew the functions of these crops at the beginning. It was not until they were planted and matured in Taoyuan County that they were understood."

"What I want to talk about today is the first kind, potatoes! This kind of thing was also obtained by King Wu from the west. After being cultivated, it was found that the yield of this kind of thing is more than 1,000 kilograms per mu, which is not weaker than sweet potatoes. Moreover, it is used as a staple food.

It can completely replace the main crop of my landscape!”

Yield per mu is 1,000 kilograms!!?

Emperor Jing's eyes suddenly flashed with two gleams of light. He looked at the potatoes on the table and quickly picked up another chopstick.

The ministers also started to pick up their chopsticks and dig through the leftovers for potatoes.

"Is what Fang Qing said true?" Emperor Jing said in disbelief and poked the potato pieces on the plate twice with his chopsticks.

With this ordinary appearance, it is hard to imagine that it is another super-high-yielding crop after sweet potatoes!

"I don't dare to lie. These potatoes have been carefully cultivated in the greenhouse in Taoyuan County. However, the time is short and the harvest is not much, so I cannot take your Majesty and your colleagues to visit the fields, but there is no problem in having a meal.

." Fang Zheng took out a raw potato from his sleeve and said, "Look, this potato has many characteristics similar to sweet potatoes in terms of appearance and planting method, but the taste is completely different."

“Potatoes can not only be used as a staple food, but they can also be used to make wine!”

In fact, sweet potatoes can also be used to make wine, and the brewed product is the legendary sweet potato roast.

But that thing is so unpalatable that he opened the door for the unpalatable one. It’s so unpalatable!

Therefore, only the people at the lowest level among the people will make some sweet potato roasting when they have a surplus of food.

Even most of these upper-class nobles have never tasted what it tastes like. They only heard that it tastes very unpleasant.

Everyone looked at the potatoes in Fang Zheng's hand and lost their minds for a moment, and the air gradually became still.

Li Yansong stood up tremblingly, his face was red, and the corners of his eyes were moist. He cupped his hands towards Emperor Jing and said: "Your Majesty, my Dajing will have another thousand kilograms of produce per acre. If Master Fang's words are true...then my Dajing will be in the future."

You will be free from the suffering of famine forever! This is an unparalleled achievement. I congratulate Your Majesty!"

"Although the yield of sweet potatoes is high, eating them for a long time can easily cause abdominal discomfort. Potatoes do not have a distinctive taste. In this way, the two complement each other. In the future, won't everyone in Da Jing be able to have three meals a day?

Even four meals? This is a state that even a saint cannot achieve when he governs the world!"

"...."

Emperor Jing's face was rosy.

Pick up the potatoes on the plate and stuff them into your mouth, close your eyes and taste them carefully.

This subtle smell combined with the touching voice in his ears brought Emperor Jing into a trance and a state of ecstasy...

"Sweet potatoes yield a thousand jins per acre! Potatoes yield a thousand jins per acre! Are there so many magical crops in the West? Then what is their population? Isn't it possible that they will no longer have to worry about famine long ago?" Suddenly a discordant voice came.

The monarchs and ministers who were immersed in joy were also suddenly awakened.

Really? People here in Dajing are very happy picking up other people’s leftovers.

So what should the development of local places be like?

Fang Zhengyi was still preparing to explain, but he didn't expect these guys to react so quickly.

I actually added drama to myself!

Fortunately, everything was on track. Fang Zhengyi stood up and said, "That's right! Since everyone is aware of this problem, I will tell you directly!"

"The reason why I want to bring you all here for this meal is to let you know some overseas news to the best of my ability."

"Not only potatoes, there is also a crop overseas called corn, and the yield per mu is also over a thousand catties!"

"I once saw a book on King Wu's ship..."

The ministers were speechless.

What books did you read again? How many things did you read? Can’t you squeeze it all in one go? One by one!

"This book is called Marco Polo's Travels! Marco Polo was an adventurer from an island country who accidentally ended up in the West. He once recorded in the book that the land in the West is flowing with milk and honey, and is full of minerals and treasures, marble palaces, and beautiful women.

Like clouds."
