Xidu is not only the commercial capital of the Southern Wilderness, but also the famous food capital, countless mouth-watering delicacies were born in the Xiguo and widely spread throughout the Southern Wilderness.

The simplest one is that the cookware has changed.

In the past, people used tripods, kettles, and pottery to cook things, but with the birth of the Xiguo iron pot, the cooking method of the entire Southern Wilderness has undergone great changes, because the dishes from the iron pot taste very good, and more and more people use the iron pot to fry and cook.

Because there are countless kinds of food born in Xiguo, no matter where you come from, you can find your favorite food when you arrive in Xidu, and the food of Xiguo is constantly innovating, many businessmen every time they arrive in Xidu, in addition to making accidents, the most enjoyable thing is to find food that has not been eaten in the streets and alleys.

Every time you find something delicious to eat, you are full of happiness.

Gongsun Wu asked about the refreshing fragrance several times, the stomach cravings had already attacked, and when he heard the children's "puzzles" on the side, he learned that this mouth-watering fragrance was a kind of food called "sweet potato", and he immediately became interested and immediately ordered the children to serve it.

Emperor Ziqi and Jiang Wuxuan didn't say much, but their faces showed a look of anticipation, eager to try.

Sometimes people's happiness is very simple, whether it is a common person or a noble child, it is enough to have a delicious meal!

The children of the restaurant teahouse are the best at observing words and feelings, a pair of eyes are very vicious, and at a glance they can see that the three sons of the private room are extraordinary, and they are first-class nobles, so they are extremely warmly entertained, and everything is served as quickly as possible.

After a while, Xiao'er came to the table of Emperor Ziqi and Jiang Wuxuan with a tray.

"Come on, fragrant roasted sweet potato! Xiao'er shouted, and served three roasted sweet potatoes wrapped in yellow paper in front of Emperor Ziqi and the others.

At first glance, the sweet potatoes are burnt yellow, and their appearance is not good, Emperor Ziqi, Jiang Wuxuan, and Gongsun Wu couldn't help frowning slightly, a little disappointed, they had eaten a lot of Xiguo food before, most of them were full of color, flavor, and flavor, and now this roasted sweet potato product is a little different.

"Ladies and gentlemen, wrap it in yellow paper and gently peel off the blackened and yellowish skin on the outside to eat. The shopkeeper smiled quite flatteringly, full of confidence, and didn't worry about his own baked sweet potatoes at all.

However, the three of them didn't say much, and each got started, ready to taste it.

According to the guidance of the shopkeeper, the three of them gently peeled off the charred black skin, and soon the orange-yellow sweet potato flesh was revealed, and a wisp of heat rose up, and then a refreshing sweetness filled the entire private room.

That's the scent!

Emperor Ziqi, Jiang Wuxu, and Gongsun Wu's frowning brows suddenly relaxed, not to mention anything else, just this fragrance, the taste of this sweet potato will not be bad.

"Not bad, not bad!"

Emperor Ziqi, Gongsun Wu, and Jiang Wuxuan tasted a bite, it was sweet and delicious, and the lips and teeth were fragrant, and when they ate it hot, the taste was really excellent, and the three of them praised it again and again.

"It's good if the three sons like it!" The shopkeeper looked calm and calm, as if he had already guessed the reaction of the three of them, and he was not surprised at all.

After feasting on his mouth, the emperor became interested and asked, "Xiao'er, how much is this sweet potato?"

"Qi Qi, this son, this sweet potato is six Xi Guo coins!" replied the shopkeeper.

Emperor Ziqi and the three of them were secretly stunned when they heard this, six Xiguo coins were just a small amount of money for them, but if they ate food alone, the price was not low, six Xiguo coins were enough to buy dozens of catties of rice, and ordinary people couldn't afford to eat it at all.

Xu was worried that the guests would question the price being too expensive, so Xiao'er hurriedly explained: "This sweet potato is sweet and delicious, tastes very good, and is very hungry, and can be eaten as a staple food, and it is a good food!"

Emperor Ziqi, Jiang Wuxuan, and Gongsun Wu heard that sweet potatoes could be used as staple food, and their eyes suddenly lit up.

Sweet potatoes are undeniably delicious, and they can also prove that if they can be used as a staple food, it is definitely a great joy.

Emperor Ziqi bowed slightly, and asked again: "Is this roasted sweet potato expensive in your restaurant or is it so expensive outside?"

Generally speaking, the food in high-end restaurants is high-priced, and many things that are very cheap outside are doubled when they arrive at high-end restaurants.

Emperor Ziqi was familiar with this, so he asked deliberately.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "This son, our restaurant doesn't make any money, the price of this sweet potato is already expensive, we will make a hard money, you go outside to buy it, it is also at this price, and the quality of the sweet potatoes outside is not as good as our sweet potatoes!"

The shopkeeper sighed as he spoke, and added: "Things are vaguely expensive, the production of sweet potatoes is scarce, and the taste is so small that the supply exceeds the demand at all, this price will naturally rise, but we are not stealing customers!"

When Di Ziqi and Jiang Wuxuan heard this, they shook their heads helplessly, they believed that the shopkeeper would not dare to lie to them, and for a while, the little excitement in Fang Cai's heart disappeared.

Production is scarce and expensive, and these two items alone have extinguished the idea of sweet potatoes as a staple food.

"Although this sweet potato is good, it can't become a staple food after all, it's a pity. ”

Jiang Wuxuan shook his head and smiled bitterly, with a pity, this sweet potato is indeed good, but unfortunately the yield is scarce, and it is not suitable as a staple food at all.

Emperor Ziqi and Gongsun Wu nodded in agreement.

They heard from the shopkeeper that the yield of sweet potatoes was scarce, and they subconsciously thought that the yield of sweet potatoes was low, far inferior to rice, and if it could not become a new food, just as a delicious food, then his role would be much smaller, and he would not be able to arouse the interest of the three imperial sons who had all the opportunities.

After tasting the sweet potato, Emperor Ziqi, Gongsun Wu, and Jiang Wuxuan quickly took their attention away from this delicacy and devoted themselves to business.

"We are still quite tight on food now, although the land of the Southern Barbarians is full of sunshine, rice grows very fast, and crops are cropped twice a year, but there are many hilly highlands in the Southern Wilderness, and there are very few fertile plains, and it is probably unrealistic for us to be self-sufficient in the short term, and we still need to purchase from Xiguo in a big way!"

Last year, I ordered people to open up wasteland and reclaim land, and after working hard for most of the year, I only reclaimed 10,000 acres of land, many of which were low-grade fields, and the yield was extremely reluctant, and this grain was not enough to eat at all. ”

"Brother Wuxu, don't worry, I heard that the Xiguo pawnshop can mortgage and lend, and your family background is also solid, it's a big deal to borrow some money, and those who become big things are not informal, where can a little gold silk compare to expanding the territory and laying a big fief!"

"What the emperor said is that the attack of the snake demon has the [Relief Pill], the threat of the snake demon to us has been reduced a lot, and we have a foothold in the land of the Southern Barbarians, and the most lacking thing at the moment is undoubtedly sufficient food, it is said that the countries of the Southern Barbarians intend to fight a protracted war with us, and food is indispensable!"

"Alas, grain, where there is inexhaustible food, it would be good!"

For a while, the three of Emperor Ziqi had sad faces, the wind was sluggish and cold, and they looked distressed as if they were about to rush to the execution ground, waiting for Yao Yun to slaughter them.
