"Your Majesty, please!" Chen Xu stretched out his hand to lift the straw curtain.

With a warm heat blowing in the face, you can see a lush and crisp green scenery, not only melons and fruits and vegetables, but also colorful flowers such as the rose moon season, among the fruits and vegetables that creeping and climbing, you can also see round melons and fruits and colorful flowers, which looks extremely pleasing to the eye.

"It's really a magical greenhouse, it's really an eye-opener!"

Standing at the entrance of the greenhouse, looking at the strange scenery of the fragrance of melons and fruits, Qin Shi Huang couldn't help but marvel after being slightly stunned for a long time.

"It's really an eye-opener, and the minister thought it was all a lie." Feng Quji's eyes widened.

Meng Yi's face was also dull, and his eyes were scanning back and forth in the greenhouse like a searchlight.

"Apricot meets the emperor!"

"Yu Ji meets the emperor's uncle!"

Xing'er and Yu Ji, who were still shouting, saw Qin Shi Huang and quickly shut up when they saw Qin Shi Huang, and cautiously greeted him and saluted.

"Who is my way, it turned out to be the two girls of the young master's family, no courtesy, you go to play by yourself, don't be afraid!" Qin Shi Huang waved his hand kindly, and he didn't care about Yu Ji's messy title.

"Let's go out, don't disturb the emperor and brother to watch the melons and vegetables!" Xing'er pulled Yu Ji and prepared to leave.

"Uncle Emperor, why didn't Ziying come with you!" Yu Ji looked at Qin Shi Huang with wide eyes.

"Ziying is studying at home, and he will come to teach the young master in a few days, and you will be able to meet him then!" The emperor said with a smile.

"Oh, you go back and tell him that I'll treat him to cantaloupe next time I come!" Yu Ji turned around and jumped and followed Xing'er.

"In the blink of an eye, two children have grown up!" Qin Shi Huang looked at the backs of Xing'er and Yu Ji and sighed with emotion.

"What Your Majesty said is that it has been five years since the minister arrived in Xianyang, time flies in a blink of an eye, and when they first came, Xing'er and Yu Ji were only a few years old!" Chen Xu also nodded with emotion.

"I heard that Xing'er has been married?" Feng Qujian asked suddenly.

"Yes, my father and his neighbor Niu Dashi's father have made a family relationship since they were young, and they will marry Xing'er when they are a few years older!" Chen Xu was stunned for a moment and said.

"Niu Dashi? Could it be that it is the Qinghe Town Lidian who takes care of the food for Aiqing? The Emperor frowned slightly.

"Yes, Dashi and I grew up together since childhood, and we are like brothers, and this family affair set by my father is now a household name in Qinghe Town!" Chen Xu spoke quietly.

"Anyway, I originally wanted Xing'er to marry my youngest son Hu Hai, but since my father-in-law has already made arrangements, I won't have another branch!" Qin Shi Huang shook his head with a little regret, but quickly changed his words and said, "Has Yu Ji ever promised to marry someone?" ”

"Well, this isn't there yet, Yu Ji is only ten years old this year!" Chen Xu was still nervous about what happened to Hu Hai just now, but the emperor instantly changed his words and made him breathe a sigh of relief.

"I want to make a family affair, I don't know what Aiqing wants?" Qin Shi Huang's face relaxed slightly.

"Your Majesty speaks, and the ministers will naturally comply!" Chen Xu gave up his hand a little helplessly.

"Child ......"

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Ziying is the eldest grandson of the emperor, Yu Ji is not a blood relative of the Marquis of Qinghe, I am afraid that her identity does not match, please don't let Your Majesty promise family affairs in such a hurry!" As soon as Qin Shi Huang's words came out, Meng Yi interrupted the emperor's words without hesitation.

"Your Majesty, Lord Meng's words are reasonable, although the Marquis of Qinghe treats Yu Ji as if he was his own, he is indeed from a humble background, and he is not a good relationship with His Royal Highness Ziying, please think twice!" Feng Qujian also hurriedly surrendered his hand.

Chen Xu didn't speak, if Ziying can become the emperor in the future, it is naturally a good thing to take Yu Ji, and Ziying comes to class on weekdays and Yu Ji and the two get along very well, some childhood sweethearts, but in this era of paying attention to the right door and paying attention to blood, the two do not have much chance to be together, even if the emperor opens his mouth Chen Xu agrees, I am afraid that there will be huge resistance in the royal family, this is not a matter of rights, but a matter of identity.

"Alas, it's okay, the child is still young, let's talk about it in a few years!" Before the words could be spoken, they were blocked by the two Shangqing, and the emperor instantly lost interest in discussing this matter, so he waved his hand and walked to a verdant vegetable field in front of him and squatted down, pointed and asked, "Aiqing, what kind of vegetables is this?" ”

"Your Majesty, this is called coriander, and the minister also calls it coriander, warm in nature, pungent in taste, it is a spice crop in the Western Regions, it can be used as medicine and can also be cooked, it has the effect of enhancing the stomach and spleen, eliminating food and regulating qi, it is a very good vegetable, but the taste is strong and peculiar, I am afraid it is not in line with the taste of the people of my Central Plains!" Chen Xu followed and walked to Qin Shi Huang's side, squatted down and explained.

This piece of coriander was planted very early, but it is really not loved by the family, Chen Xu has made two cold salads, cut them into sections after cleaning, add garlic and salt and sesame oil to eat them simply and coldly, but the strong taste makes Xing'er and Yu Ji cover their noses and shout that it is too smelly at first sight, even the various delicious water that has always liked Chen Xu's production will never be touched again after eating it once, Ying Shiyan and Meng Wan can't avoid it and completely become the leaders of the anti-coriander alliance in the Hou Mansion, Even the housekeepers and servants who were usually eager for Chen Xu's food had eaten a bite under Chen Xu's compulsion, and many people felt poisoned directly, especially several kitchen workers and cooks, who escaped from the kitchen every time they saw Chen Xu pull out the coriander and turn around, because Chen Xu had to force them to eat a few bites and taste it every time they were ready, and the strange taste was almost like killing them.

Therefore, only Chen Xu got some cold rice in the entire Hou Mansion every few days, and then when eating, the family was as far away as if they had seen poisonous insects, watching Chen Xu eat in front of him happily praising the deliciousness, but the family was no longer fooled.

So the coriander in this half of the land is getting older and older, and now it is smoking, flowering, and the old ones are almost chewing, but they only eat a small piece of thin lala.

However, about coriander, there is a very fragrant legend among the folk in later generations.

Legend has it that when King Wu fell, Zhao Gongming went out of the mountain to assist King Xu, and also brought his three sisters with high mana, that is, the three fairies of Yunxiao, Bixiao and Qiongxiao on Sanxian Island, after Zhao Gongming was killed by Lu Press, Sanxiao wanted to avenge his brother Zhao Gongming, so he laid down the Jiuqu Yellow River Array, and used the mixed yuan golden bucket to successively win the Jinzha, Muzha, Nezha and Twelve Golden Immortals of Jiang Ziya's camp, and directly beat Jiang Ziya almost kneeling to beg for mercy, and then Yang Jian broke into the battle, because the opponent was not the measuring ruler of the Bixiao Fairy, Therefore, it was shameless to release Erha...... Well, it's the Howling Dog, but the Roaring Dog seems to smell the sea, and rushes up and bites the crotch of the Bixiao Fairy, and Bixiao loses his face in shame and anger...... Holding the lower body and retreating, Qiongxiao Fairy came to help, and cut the Roaring Sky Dog into two with a click of the golden Jiao scissors, Yang Jian was also collected by Yunxiao with a mixed yuan gold bucket, the three fairies hated the shameless fairy beast of the Roaring Sky Dog, so they took the Roaring Sky Dog back to make a dog meat hot pot, and the remaining hairy claws and claws were dug and buried indiscriminately, and then a strange taste plant grew in the buried place, this plant was called coriander because of its strong taste.

However, according to Chen Xu's view, this must be just a folk legend, because coriander came from Europe, if the coriander was recorded in China during the Shang and Zhou dynasties, it can only be said that the Jiuqu Yellow River Array must be placed in Europe, and the strange book of the Classic of Mountains and Seas coincides, because some people in later generations believe that the Xia Dynasty is actually ancient Egypt, and the Chinese civilization originated in Africa, and it also proves that Buzhou Mountain is the highest Kilimanjaro Mountain in Africa, and the earth cracked after Buzhou Mountain was knocked down, and the East African Rift Valley was formed in later generations......

Fortunately, the coriander is changed by the hair of the Roaring Sky Dog, not the hair of the Blue Sky Fairy.

Chen Xu was a little lucky.

"It's a delicious food to strengthen the stomach and eliminate appetite, and I'll bring some back to the palace later, Concubine Zheng doesn't eat well on weekdays and has a bad appetite, maybe eating some can be appetizing!" Qin Shi Huang stood up and turned around and squatted in front of a green onion next to him, looking at the giant onion that had also begun to sprout and bloom.

The reason why I say giant onion is because it is an onion.

Chen Xu didn't know when he first planted it, but later it grew bigger and bigger, each one had the thickness of a thumb, and the roots began to swell, and Chen Xu recognized it later.

Onions, like coriander, are also spicy vegetables, and because they are not yet ripe, they are not yet ripe, and Chen Xu has never dug them out and eaten them, mainly because of the taste of onions, and Chen Xu doesn't like them very much.

After reading the onion, Qin Shi Huang walked in front of a melon field again, looked at the large green leaves mixed with grapefruit-sized fruits with articles, squatted down and touched this and touched which one in surprise asked: "Aiqing, what kind of courgette is this?" ”

"Your Majesty, this is called watermelon, it is not ripe at the moment, and it will take more than half a month to eat, this kind of melon is delicious and juicy, and it is a good thing to cool off in midsummer!"

"Well, okay, when it's ripe, Aiqing must leave a few for me and Feng Xiangmengqing to taste!"

"Your Majesty, rest assured!" Chen Xu nodded hurriedly.

"What kind of fruit is this?" After a few feet of walking, Qin Shi Huang squatted down to look at another green-skinned fruit that looked like a melon but was much larger.

"Your Majesty, this is called cantaloupe, a courgette produced in the oasis of the Western Regions, it tastes like honey when ripe, and it is also an extremely rare melon fruit!"

"Okay, I'll leave it for me to taste later."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"What kind of fruit and vegetable is this?" Not far away, next to a vine-like plant, the Emperor stopped to observe.

"Your Majesty, this should be a grape, but it hasn't grown yet, and the minister can't be sure yet!"

"Grapes? Could it be the grapes that make the beauty of grapes? Feng Qujian asked beside him.

"No, although the grapes of the Western Regions and the mountain grapes of the Central Plains belong to the same kind, they are very different, the grapes of the Western Regions are full and huge, the juice is sweet, it is an extremely delicious fruit, if it is used to make wine, it is much better than the quality of mountain grapes!" Chen Xu explained.

"Well, I really can't imagine that there are so many delicious fruits and vegetables in the Western Regions that have never been seen in the Central Plains, if it weren't for Aiqing's knowledge of the geography of the world, I am afraid that these fruits and vegetables would not be able to taste in my life, Aiqing really deserves to be my Daqin's food, and knows all about the world's deliciousness!" Qin Shi Huang stood up with emotion and said.

"Qinghe Hou, where are the cucumbers I ate today?" Meng Yi couldn't help but speak.

"Just in front, on top of that row of pylons are cucumbers!" Chen Xu pointed to a row of shelves not far ahead.

"Let's go, let's see!" The emperor couldn't help but quicken his pace and soon came to the cucumber rack.

At this time, on the cucumber shelf, the larger cucumbers have been picked by Chen Xu and sent to the palace, and what I see now are a few inches long and crisp melons, and there are a large number of yellow flowers blooming on them, which looks extremely fresh and pleasing to the eye.

"It turns out that this is a cucumber, and it looks like the cane leaves are somewhat similar to melons!" Feng went to twist his beard and his head.

"Feng Xiang is right, this cucumber and melon watermelon cantaloupe all belong to melons and vegetables, and the vines grow on the ground, and build a hanger for them to climb, which can maximize the use of space, and can also play a role in ventilation and light, and increase the number of fruits." Chen Xu explained with a smile.

"The young master is worthy of being an all-round talent, he knows everything in the world without leaving home, there is a young master to assist me in Daqin, and the people of China have a mouth!" Qin Shi Huang did not hesitate to praise him.

"Qinghe Hou, what are these purple melons and fruits?" After reading the cucumber, Meng Yi turned around and squatted in front of a piece of eggplant.

"Master Meng, this is called eggplant, it is a vegetable, not a melon and fruit!"

"It looks like it's grown so big, it should be ready to eat!" Meng Yi touched a round and lubricated eggplant, as interested as touching a woman's breast.

"Eggplant can not be eaten raw, can be stir-fried into the dish, the easiest way to eat is buried in the hot ash smoldering and then torn into thin strips, and then add garlic, salt and sesame oil to mix, the entrance is soft and fragrant, it is also a unique flavor of the dish!"

"Hiss~" Meng Yi took a sip of saliva and stretched out his hand to pull down an eggplant, stood up excitedly and said, "In that case, why don't you make one for me to see!" ”

"Haha, yes, yes, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, I suddenly feel a little hungry!" Qin Shi Huang smiled and echoed.

Well, Lao Tzu knows that you come to see it is fake, and it is true that you want to eat Lao Tzu's food!

"Since Your Majesty is here, the minister will naturally entertain one or two, so the minister will pick some and go out to make a few dishes for His Majesty and Lord Feng Xiangmeng to taste, so that they will not have an empty trip!" Chen Xu smiled and threw his hand, picked a few eggplants and held them in his hand. ()
