When King Yong heard this, he nodded:

"You have a point." Envoys inevitably brought with them a lot of their own goods and merchants with them every time they went to another country, and it was not uncommon for them to trade with the envoys, even in countries that did not trade with foreign countries.

If it is said that Bilian Kingdom wants to use the unwarranted treasure tree to deceive the ministers, and take the opportunity to make more money with that instrument, although it is not polite and bold, it is not impossible.

"In this way, when the emperor comes up, let him decide." Yongwang Road.

Shu Jin nodded when he heard this, and at this time, the door of the palace opened, and King Yong and Shu Jin looked back, because there was no eunuch shouting and saluting, so both of them knew that it would be the emperor who came. Shu Jin looked at it, and the people who came still knew each other. It turned out to be the eldest prince Qi Lian.

"I've seen Oh Yong Wangye!" Qi Lian first saluted King Yong, and then turned to Shu Jin.

"Lord Xiangtang, meet again."

Qi Lian has a good impression of Shu Jin, how to say that Shu Jin is also the one who saved him twice. Moreover, at yesterday's dinner, Shu Jin's performance was amazing, he admired it very much, Shu Jin was not very old, and Qi Lian didn't have any playmates in the palace, so he naturally wanted to get close.

"Hello Great Prince." Shu Jin returned the salute.

"I heard that King Yong brought the Lord of Xiangtang into the palace, so I came to take a look. The good cooking skills that the lord of Xiangtang showed last night really made me envious, my father made you a doctor of the Guozijian, but unfortunately, the prince is not allowed to enter the Guozijian to study, otherwise, I will definitely go to learn cooking from you! ”

Qi Lian said with a smile. When Shu Jin heard this, he said a few polite words to him. Then, Qi Lian noticed that the treasure tree offered by the Bilian Kingdom last night had been opened, and he was a little surprised, so he took a closer look, and asked why he opened it while watching.

Shu Jin explained, and when Qi Lian heard it, he frowned and said:

"This Bilian Kingdom is really rampant, and it even took two kinds of fruit-eating trees to pretend to be some peerless treasures! What else do you say is like the friendship between the two countries! It's too much! ”

said. He raised his hand and touched the pepper, then turned back and asked:

"Lord Xiangtang, is this really edible?"

"Yes. Both of these things can be eaten. ”

got Shu Jin's affirmative answer, and Qi Lian picked a chili pepper and came down. Take it in your hand and look at it.

"Such a bright color, it really looks like a fruit ......," he said, putting the red pepper into his mouth and taking a bite. It's also that he ate too without warning, and Shu Jin didn't have time to stop it.

"The eldest prince waits, you can't eat it!"

Pity. It's too late.

Yong Lao and Shu Jin saw that Qi Lian's white and tender face turned red instantly. I saw that he didn't estimate the prince's demeanor at all, and spit out the contents of his mouth.

"Ahem! It's spicy! Ahem! Qi Lian was choked with spicy tears, "Water!" Water! ”

Seeing this, the eunuch on duty hurriedly went to pour water. Fortunately, the water for drinking in the palace is maintained at a temperature that is not hot and not cold, and it can be eaten upside down. Qi Lian was spicy and poured several glasses of water before he recovered.

"Hah! What is this! How can this thing be eaten! Qi Lian frowned and looked at Shu Jin with a pair of eyes that were so hot that they were red.

Shu Jin smiled in his heart, and said in his heart that whoever asked you to ask would eat without asking. However, he didn't say anything on his face, just said:

"Who said you can't eat it. This stuff can be dried in the sun and used as a seasoning when cooking. If you are a spicy person, you can eat it directly. ”

As he spoke, Shu Jin went to pick a tomato and handed it to him.

"You try this, it's okay to eat this empty stutter, the taste is not so strong."

Qi Lian took it in disbelief, this time he didn't dare to try rashly, but carefully bit a little.

"This one is not spicy, don't worry." Shu Jin said with a smile.

Qi Lian's face was a little red, and he didn't know that he had just been spicy. It's still embarrassing. But I finally opened my mouth and bit down, this time it was really not spicy, and it was sweet and sour.

"Yes. This one tastes so much better. ”

As soon as Qi Lian's voice fell, the eunuch sang outside:

"The emperor has arrived!"

As soon as the voice fell, a few people had just put on a posture to salute, and Qi Yan had already walked in two steps.

"Excuse me."

Qi Yan said and walked in, glanced at the pepper trees and tomato seedlings that had been unpacked and put aside, and saw Qi Lian again. Qi Lian was still holding a bitten tomato in his hand.

"The emperor is here."

"Father." Qi Lian was a little afraid of Qi Yan. At the moment, with a tomato in his hand, I don't know what to do. Qi Yan obviously saw it, so he waved his hand and said, "It's okay, you can eat." ”

Qi Yan said, his eyes signaled to the chief eunuch who came with him.

The eunuch had followed the emperor for many years, and he knew what he meant with a glance, so he walked over neatly, picked a red tomato from the tomato stalks, washed it, and handed it to the emperor.

So many people have eaten it, Qi Yan naturally has nothing to worry about, and he also opened his mouth to eat one. When Qi Lian saw it, he followed suit. During this time, several people did not speak. After Qi Yan finished eating, he wiped his hands and mouth with a handkerchief before turning to Shu Jin.

"What the Lord of Xiangtang said, I already know, it seems that this envoy of the Bilian Kingdom really dared to play this trick and fool me to play the monarch and minister, such a crime must not be spared. However, if according to the county lord, both of these things can be used for food, then is there a way to leave the seeds and plant them in our country at that time? ”

When Shu Jin heard this, he replied that there was no problem. These two things are dried and the seeds inside can be used for planting.

As for how to punish this Bilian countryman, the emperor still needs to discuss with his ministers, and this naturally has nothing to do with Shu Jin. However, Shu Jin entered the palace with King Yong today, and there happened to be a new ingredient such as tomatoes, so the emperor naturally left the two of them to eat in the palace, and Shu Jin was assigned to use this new ingredient - tomatoes and peppers to make two dishes.

Since last night when her cooking skills were revealed, Shu Jin knew that there would be a day when she would go to the imperial dining room to cook for the emperor, but anyway, now that her status is high enough and her backing is hard enough, no one in the imperial dining room dares to embarrass her. And the new ingredients are really easy to make, tomatoes, the most nutritious way to eat is tomato scrambled eggs. Chaotian pepper was too spicy, and Shu Jin was afraid that the emperor's spleen and stomach were delicate, so the amount used in cooking was very small, so he grinded a few dishes and made lunch for the emperor.

The emperor rewarded the queen and the concubines of the palace, and King Yong, Qi Lian and Shu Jin were directly left to eat with the emperor.

Looking at Qi Lian, who was sitting there in a sincere panic, Shu Jin felt a strange feeling in his heart.

I think the emperor's son rarely eats with his father, right? Just look at the nervous look he has. The emperor's three sons and three daughters, thinking that they rarely had the opportunity to eat with the emperor, they didn't expect that they could eat at the same table with the emperor after entering the palace several times.

It's really, amazingly.

"Speaking of which, the Lord of Xiangtang County still has a credit, and I have never had time to be rewarded. I went to Uncle Zai Huang and brought back a new food, called corn, which you also discovered and learned to grow, right? (To be continued.) )
