What else can Yao Yun say? You shouldn’t take a spoon and take a small bite to evaluate the taste of tofu noodle. What the hell is it if you swallow it in one bite?
When Bailihuang heard this, he immediately shook his head nonchalantly: "So this is what the young master said. I practice martial arts, and this little burn is nothing. Even if I swallow a big fireball, it won't hurt!"
Of course Yao Yun understands that Bailihuang is not afraid of being burned. If Bailihuang was in the fourth-grade feudal realm in his previous life, even a missile might not be able to kill him. What he just said is just an excuse.
"General Baili, how does it taste?" Yao Yun will be very curious about what it feels like to eat this way of "Zhu Bajie eating raw fruit".
There was a slight embarrassment on Bailihuang's handsome and handsome face, and he said sheepishly: "Young Master, I ate in a hurry just now, and I haven't tasted it yet."
Indeed it is!
Yao Yun didn't realize it was a bit funny, and then ordered him to give his tofu flowers to Baili Huang: "I often taste it on weekdays, and I'm a little tired of it. Why don't I just let General Baili eat this bowl? There's a spoon on the side."
, you can taste it slowly, this bowl of tofu is sweet tofu, you can try it."
"Thank you, Master!" Bailihuang immediately understood that the way he had eaten before was too rude and barbaric, and his face immediately turned red. However, he didn't care and picked up the spoon on the side to taste it.
"Hmm~ It's so tender, refreshing and not greasy, and there's a hint of sweetness in it. Hey, this sweetness doesn't seem to be honey." Although Bailihuang is not particular about food, his status has risen after he became successful in cultivation, and he can enjoy all kinds of delicacies.
He has tasted it a lot, but this was the first time he tasted this kind of sweetness.
"This is cane sugar. There are many wild sugar canes in the south, which have a sweet taste. Gu Mingren chose its improved varieties and cultivated them. Fortunately, God paid off and finally cultivated sugar cane with extremely sweet taste. Later, Gu Mingren used sugar cane to make sucrose.
It’s the sugar in your hands and brains!”
Yao Yun pointed at the sweet tofu nao in Bailihuang's hand, and then said:
“The sugarcane cultivated through selective cultivation has an incomparably sweet taste, and people like it very much. After being processed into sucrose, its sweetness is no worse than honey, and it does not have the greasy taste of honey. The most important thing is that sugarcane can be grown on a large scale.
Its price is much lower than honey, so ordinary people can also eat sweet sucrose."
Sweetness is the taste that can best bring happiness and satisfaction to people. This has been true from ancient times to the present.
Although Bailihuang didn't care about eating, he still had the memory of sweetness deep in his memory. It was a peaceful and peaceful night. The stubborn uncle of the tribe dug out a beehive and brought back honey. That night, the whole
The children in the tribe were all excited. He was lucky enough to take a sip of honey, and the sweet taste left him with endless aftertaste.
The tribe got a lot of honey, but only the children in the tribe tasted it, and the other adults didn't touch it. When he grew up and became sensible, Bailihuang gradually understood that sweetness is rare for ordinary people, not for the tribe.
Adults don't like to eat it, but honey is very valuable, so the clan needs to exchange honey for money.
Those who are covered with silkworms are not sericulture farmers, that’s what they say!
Bailihuang didn't understand what Yao Yun said about sugarcane cultivation, but he was very moved by the young master's words that ordinary people could also eat sugar. It was as if something plucked the strings in his heart, making it difficult for him to calm down.
"Young Master, are you saying that ordinary people can also eat sugar in the future? Now the people of Xi Kingdom eat this kind of sucrose?" Bailihuang has experienced the poor days of starvation and precarious life, so ordinary people can also eat it.
He was quite excited about such delicious sucrose.
"It is indeed sold in Xidu, but the current price is a bit high, and only some people with a lot of money can enjoy it." Yao Yun told the truth, without any exaggeration.
"That's it!" Bailihuang was a little disappointed when he heard this, but soon he said with emotion: "Young Master, this is already very good. If it were placed in other countries, it would not be easy for ordinary people to taste the sweetness.
!”
Bailihuang was speaking from the bottom of his heart. Over the years, he had visited all the Thirteen Kingdoms of the Xi clan and also traveled to other countries. He still had a strong say in these matters.
When Yao Yun heard Bailihuang's words, he immediately smiled, calmly and confidently:
"Sugar cane has just been cultivated and has not been widely cultivated. There is not much sucrose produced, so the price remains high. This year, a cane sugar factory has been opened in Xidu, and will soon be opened in Xidu, Licheng, and Guan
Cane sugar will be planted on a large scale in the fertile land of Lingcheng and even the tidal flats further away. When the time comes, the sucrose will soon be available and the people of Xidu will be able to afford it."
A glimmer of light flashed in Bailihuang's eyes, and his face lit up with joy: "This is a great thing."
Yao Yun nodded: "Yes, a small amount of sucrose can not only bring sweetness to the people, but also bring a lot of income to the people to improve their lives."
Bailihuang used to be in charge of a party. At this time, he also heard some knowledge, and his eyes became brighter and brighter. However, he was not in a hurry to speak, but humbly asked the young master for advice. At this time, he also understood that in terms of cultivation, he might be better than the young master.
He is high, but when it comes to governing the country and bringing peace to the people, he is far behind.
Yao Yun saw Bailihuang's serious face and asked for advice as if he were a disciple. He immediately felt very proud and spoke eloquently:
"Common people can work in cane sugar factories to earn wages after busy farming to supplement their families; in addition, the factory will purchase the cane sugar from farmers at market prices, and farmers can also get a lot of extra income, and the cane sugar factory will process the cane sugar produced.
Merchants from all over the world sell it to various parts of the Xia Dynasty. The merchants can earn a lot of profits from it, so the merchants are eager for sucrose. Although the sale of sucrose has just started, its broad prospects are quite gratifying..."
"With the planting of sugar cane and the local merchants of the Xi Kingdom continuing to open up external trade routes, in the future, not only the people of the Xi Kingdom, but also people from all over the Xia Dynasty will be able to taste the delicious taste of cane sugar."
After hearing this, Bailihuang's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he was completely immersed in it, constantly discussing the details with Yao Yun.
Yao Yun then talked about other topics based on food, performing "Xi Guo on the Tip of the Tongue".
During this process, Yao Yun and Baili Huang got very close to each other, and they felt like they had known each other for a long time.
Finally, the two of them talked about how Yao Yun had left hundreds of miles of desolation in the hall.
Bailihuang was also a very thoughtful person, and he immediately guessed what was going on. After a long conversation, he just felt that he had found a true friend. He immediately asked without any scruples: "Young Master, I don't know what you have ordered me to do today."
?”
Yao Yun smiled and said without beating around the bush: "Baili, it's like this. Back then, my father led the elite troops of the Xi Kingdom to the expedition but failed to return. After he took over the Xi Kingdom alone, although the Xi Kingdom developed well, there was a lack of long-term experience in the country.
The general on the battlefield is training troops. Although Gu's retainer Cang Man has outstanding talent, it is a pity that he lacks experience. Gu heard that Baili is good at fighting and training troops well, so Gu wants to ask Baili to help Xiguo train troops..."
