Section 262 From the Mystic to the Scientific

An hour later, Zhang Yue led people to bring a table full of various snacks to the Son of Heaven.

The round and lustrous dumplings, the fried dough cakes that are browned on both sides, and more than a dozen hot pot helmets.

These are the staple foods.

When the Son of Heaven saw it, he immediately couldn't wait to raise his chopsticks, hold a dumpling, and put it in his mouth, the delicious taste in his memory lingered in his heart again, he closed his eyes, felt this rare deliciousness, and praised: "The food where Qing is located is really delicious, so I will not want to return......

He smiled and said, "If it weren't for Qing being the Minister of State, who is burdened by Xinfeng, I really want to keep Qing by my side and cook this food for me every day!" ”

He really wasn't joking when he said this, and even had a strong urge to simply let Zhang Yue stay by his side and cook these delicacies for him every day.

As for the Xinfeng thing? Or something else?

The world is so big, there is always someone who can do it.

This delicacy alone, which makes him feel good to the soul, is only one Zhang Zizhong can make.

It's a pity......

He can't!

Because, the lessons of Li Shaojun and Shenjun made him throw a rat bogey.

Thinking that at the beginning, when he first met Li Shaojun, he was immediately shocked and welcomed into the court, thinking that he was a guest and asked for it.

But this disciple of An Qisheng doesn't love court life, and only thinks about idle clouds and wild cranes.

He stubbornly stayed on.

But he only stayed for more than ten years, and then suddenly one day, Li Shaojun's family came to report: Shaojun has returned to heaven!

He was shocked, and went to check, and all the people in the Li Mansion were wearing filial piety, and then opened the coffin to check, but found that there was only an empty shroud in the coffin, and Li Shaojun's body was gone.

Needless to say, in his explanation, Shaojun is the Feather Flying Immortal!

It made him feel remorseful.

After Li Shaojun, the sorcerers he found were all liars.

Until, he met the Divine Monarch again.

The god doesn't want his money, and he doesn't want his officials.

It's just that he lives in the longevity palace he built for Shenjun, and he loves to nag when he has nothing to do.

But the amazing thing is that before he met the Divine Monarch, he was seriously ill and almost bedridden, and after meeting the Divine Monarch, not only was he cured, but also that the Divine Monarch rarely even caught a cold in those years.

This made him more respectful to the Divine Monarch.

It's a pity that Shenjun only lived in Shougong for a few years, and then one day...... It's gone.

Only a pair of clothes were left behind, and they remained in the Shou Palace.

This made him believe that Shenjun was the same as Li Shaojun, who had become an immortal.

Now, I have met another suspected possible object.

And this one, the food that was taken out,

He can't be careless.

What if, this one also feathers up and ascends to the immortal and runs away?

Therefore, it can only be tempted and tempted first.

Zhang Yue listened, but he was frightened into a cold sweat, and hurriedly bowed: "Your Majesty, the minister's cooking skills can only be said to be average, the methods of these delicacies are all taught by the pulsatilla in the dream, and the wheat flour is the wheat seed grown by the minister's family......"

Saying that, Zhang Yue paused and bowed: "I hope Your Majesty will see the ......."

Zhang Yue also had no choice but to find such an excuse to explain the source of his wheat seeds and the source of food such as dumplings.

The Son of Heaven listened, but looked at Zhang Yue with burning eyes.

Zhang Yue's explanation, he was skeptical.

believes in the practice of dumplings and other things, and in his opinion, Zhang Yue will not lie in this place.

And he also believes that his ancestor Emperor Gao has long been a god.

Otherwise, how to explain the abnormalities of the Queen Mother when she gave birth to him?

And the greatness of Emperor Gao is beyond doubt.

You must know that the founding son of the Han family once did the great cause of establishing the Emperor of Heaven (there were only four emperors in the Warring States Period, and it became five emperors in the Han Dynasty, and the added one was the Black Emperor, which is said to be the statue of the Black Emperor by Liu Bang's order).

But, the wheat was planted by himself?

Hehe......

He has checked, and before this Zhang Zi went back to Ganquan Palace, he clearly did not return to Nanling.

And when Xinfeng came to take office, he never went back.

If this is the case, then he must have lied about it.

"Maybe there's something unspeakable?" The Son of Heaven thought in his heart.

As soon as Zhang Yue looked at the posture, he knew that His Majesty probably had some doubts.

But what can he do?

Do you tell this majesty that there is a secret realm in the head of the minister, which can produce wheat and rice?

Then I'm afraid that if this majesty doesn't kill his head to get the secret realm, there will be countless crazy people to do this.

He's not stupid enough yet!

He could only bite the bullet and bowed: "Your Majesty Mingjian, the minister is planning to promote the wheat seeds of the minister's family in this Xinfeng to benefit the people......"

"Oh......" When the Son of Heaven heard this, he became interested and asked, "But can it all be so delicious?" ”

If that's the case, won't you be able to eat it every day in the future?

Zhang Yue hurriedly bowed and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the wheat planted by the minister is the best land, personally cultivated, carefully cared for, only a few acres are planted at the age of one year, so its taste is delicate, the aftertaste is long, if it is planted on a large scale, the minister thinks that the taste may be slightly inferior......"

"However, its yield can be twice as high!" When Zhang Yue said this, he patted his chest as a guarantee.

But the attention of the Son of Heaven was not here at all.

Doubling the yield per mu?

Well, at other times, he might be particularly interested.

But now?

His attention was entirely on what Zhang Yue called 'home-grown and carefully cared for'.

Although, he could vaguely guess that this matter might be false.

Because as far as he knew, Zhang Zizhong had never been in the field at all, and the Zhang family had not planted wheat.

But......

This is in his brain, and it has been linked to immortals and gods.

Since it is a fairy method, then he doesn't want to pursue it, and he doesn't want to pursue it.

As long as you can have this kind of food to eat.

So, the Son of Heaven smiled and said, "Is that Qing willing to cut the wheat and me planted by Shi Qing for more than ten years?" ”

When Zhang Yue heard this, he also felt a little headache, but he had no choice but to bow: "Your Majesty has an order, and the ministers dare not obey!" ”

In fact, blood is already dripping from the heart.

He knew very well that this majesty would definitely be addicted.

And then...... I'm afraid I have to provide a batch of wheat flour to Lao Liu's family every year.

Moreover, I am afraid that this number is not indispensable.

Now it's a dozen stones, maybe in the future it will be dozens of stones, hundreds of stones!

There is no way, the Liu clan's clan group is particularly large.

Moreover, this son of heaven is notoriously bold!

In order to prevent himself from becoming a special farmer for the Liu family in the future, Zhang Yue had no choice but to bow and say: "Your Majesty, this kind of wheat of the minister is carefully selected and selected from the upper fields, and it is watered with the best mountain spring water, so that it can be produced!" ”

"At the age of one year, at most more than ten stone ......" Zhang Yue lowered his head and said: "The savings from the planting in previous years, the minister has already planned to keep all the savings for the seed of Xinfeng land this year......"

"It's enough to have more than ten stones...... but the Son of Heaven interrupted Zhang Yue's words, and said with a smile: "I can't use too many ...... alone."

The food of the immortals, he will not share it with outsiders casually!

Moreover, after going through the matter of Li Shaojun and Shenjun, he also probably understood the thoughts of those immortals.

That is, it is easy not to have too much to do with the worldly people, and do not want to have too much contact with the world.

When Zhang Yue heard this, he was also relaxed.

Ten stones a year, he can easily supply.

So he immediately bowed and said, "The minister respectfully obeys the edict!" ”

When the Son of Heaven heard this, his mouth was crooked when he laughed.

And the ministers and entourage on the left and right all looked at the two monarchs and ministers dumbfounded, not knowing what the situation was?

However, when everyone was not paying attention, Princess Nanxin had already leaned on the table and buried her head in destroying the dumplings.

Click, click, it's two dumplings down, she was still satisfied, and said with a smile: "The dumplings made by Zhang Shizhong are delicious!" ”

Liu Jin on the side looked at it, although he was also salivating, but he didn't dare to move the chopsticks first, so he could only watch Princess Nanxin feast.

Until the Son of Heaven smiled and said to the left and right: "Let's all sit down......"

Then Liu Jin couldn't wait to sit down, looked at the plate of dumplings in front of him, and began to eliminate them without hesitation with chopsticks.

The other courtiers looked at it, and they all wondered in their hearts, what the Son of Heaven and the eldest grandson ate was really so delicious?

Until Zhang Yue asked people to put small plates in front of them.

On the plate are a small dumpling, a small pancake and a few small pot helmets.

"Ladies and gentlemen, because the wheat flour is limited, I can only let you Minggong taste a little ......," Zhang Yue said apologetically.

……………………

Qin Yong, the captain of the Yulin Guard, looked at the small plate of pasta placed in front of him, and his face was a little unkind.

I think this Zhang Zizhong is too stingy, right?

Do you want to be a dignified captain, or the head of the Son of Heaven's personal guard, just give such a small plate?

I look down on myself too much!

But looking at the first and enjoying the Son of Heaven and the eldest grandson, he still suspiciously picked up the dumpling in front of him and put it in his mouth.

With a light bite, Qin Yong felt his heart skip a beat.

As soon as the tender dumpling skin was bitten, the meat sauce inside immediately burst open, and the mouth was full of wheat fragrance and sweetness.

"This is ......" Qin Yong felt the sensation on his taste buds incredibly.

He swears that this is food he has never eaten, a delicacy he has never enjoyed!

Then, like a whirlwind, he ate up the small plate of food in front of him.

Even pick up a saucer and lick every grain of powder left on it.

At this moment, Qin Yong had fully understood Zhang Yue.

Such delicious food, such delicious food, I'm afraid the price is more than a thousand dollars!

Why didn't I know that this wheat mill could be so delicious?

Looks like you'll have to write a letter home, let the family grow more wheat, and then mill it like this for food!

Even if the taste is not as delicious as this one, it should be able to satisfy your cravings!

"Is it so delicious?" Jin Riyan, who was sitting next to Qin Yong, expressed disbelief.

Qin Yong looked back and found that his boss didn't move a single chopstick, and immediately smiled and said, "Jin Lingjun, why don't you give this reward to the lower officials?" ”

When Jin Ilyan heard this, he picked up a small piece of pancake with chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

And then......

The imperial concubine, the crown prince of King Hutu, the whole person's expression froze.

When the pancake is entered, it immediately bursts into a rich aroma that makes his taste buds like an explosion.

"Delicious!" Jin Riyan immediately protected the small plate of pasta in front of him, and refused to let it out.

………………………………………………

After the meal, everyone's expressions changed when they saw Zhang Yue.

The mere fact that this waiter was able to make such delicious food made everyone have to readjust their perspectives.

A minister who can capture the emperor's taste buds?

You don't need to use your brain to think, you can know how terrible such a person is!

Not to mention, many people now remember some legends that were once circulated in the palace.

It is said that someone once said that this Zhang Zizhong was thought to be a 'little waiter' who was guided by the Divine Monarch today.

In the past, few people took this rumor seriously.

But now, everyone has to believe the rumor.

Because, the Son of Heaven recognized this Zhang Zizhong's statement of 'dreaming of Pulsatilla to teach all kinds of cooking skills'.

And the pulsatilla in the Han Dynasty generally refers to Emperor Gao!

A person who can dream of Emperor Gao, and the emperor still approves of it?

Many people suddenly discovered that this Zhang Zizhong was not a Wenchen at all!

This is another Li Shaojun!

As long as you think about how Li Shaojun leaned towards the government and the opposition back then, everyone has to reassess Zhang Yue's status.

At the same time, wheat flour, or flour, came into the sight of the accompanying aristocratic ministers through this time.

Many people have made up their minds in their hearts to let their families try to grind wheat and make dumplings and other foods when they return home.

And this is exactly what Zhang Yue wants.

The promotion of wheat and the expansion of planting area are closely related to its position in the three meals a day.

Nowadays, the reason why wheat is not favored and not valued is because it is not a staple food, but a miscellaneous grain, and only when it is green and yellow, can the poor eat it.

The aristocratic landlords didn't even look at the wheat.

This results in a small area of wheat cultivation and low prices.

If Zhang Yue wants to promote wheat, he must let pasta enter thousands of households and become people's staple food.

And in China, if you want to promote a thing, the fastest way is to let the nobles take the lead.

The nobles of Chang'an City began to pursue something, and something would definitely be accepted by the people of the world.

Just like the slaves, the price of the slaves was very low before the nobles of Chang'an did not accept it.

However, when the nobles of Chang'an pursued the slaves, the price of these slaves and maids trained by the Southwest Yi increased year after year.

Now the cheapest slave costs 50,000 yuan a piece!

Merely......

"In the future history books, I am afraid that I will become a character like Liu Bowen......" Zhang Yue lamented in his heart.

He didn't want to have too much to do with Shinto things.

Because as a traverser, he knows that feudal superstition is unacceptable.

But the truth is, he had to lean to Shinto.

But it doesn't matter!

He's figured it out now, and there's a bit of mystery in him, it's not a big deal!

Maybe it can help him in his future battles!

In this pre-AD era, it is not clear to explain to people.

Moreover, feudal superstition may not lead to science.

There is a record in the information that Zhang Yue traces back - Newton is the founder of modern Western science, but he is also a believer in the Friendship Sect, and he is even awarded the title of the last great alchemist!
