The emperor thought for a moment and then asked: "When I was a teenager, I went to Anyi City, and I remember that at this time, the part of Anyi City was full of ice and snow, and the weather was abnormally cold. ”

In the face of the emperor, Angelica naturally has no need to hide it, she said truthfully: "The folk girl built a greenhouse on the land, the greenhouse can resist wind and snow, and it is very humid and warm inside, especially suitable for the growth of sweet potatoes, so the sweet potatoes planted by the folk girls in Anyi City are harvested earlier than the sweet potatoes planted in Linping Town." ”

"Oh, haha, I see!" The emperor laughed twice, and then looked at Angelica with a smile: "You are really a smart and clever woman, let me admire." ”

He paused, then continued, "You have made such a great contribution to the country, and I will reward you now......

When the emperor said this, he paused slightly, and then spoke: "I will now make you the lord of Anping County, you were born in Xinghua Village, Linping Town, then I will give you Linping Town as a fief, in addition, a reward of 5,000 gold, and 50 brocades." ”

"Thank you, Emperor Longen."

Angelica bowed deeply to the emperor.

The emperor stroked his beard with a smile and said with a smile: "In a few days, officials from all over the country will come to Chang'an City to report on their work, and when the time comes, I will gather them and the county lord of Anping will personally explain to them and teach them how to grow sweet potatoes." ”

"Yes."

Angelica looked at the emperor, "The folk girl came to Chang'an this time, and she also brought some sweet potatoes over, and wanted to present them to the emperor." ”

"Okay, where?"

The eunuch on the side remembered that when the two of them came just now, there was a basket of things at the door, so he whispered to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the slaves and maids just saw them at the door." ”

"Oh, then go and carry it up."

The eunuch was embarrassed: "Your Majesty, the basket is very dirty, and there is a lot of soil on it, I'm afraid it will ......."

"Afraid of what? Go and carry it up, in this world, what crop does not grow in the soil, you slave thinks the soil is dirty, but I think the soil is cleaner than anything else. ”

"Yes, yes."

The eunuch nodded hurriedly, and after a while, the two eunuchs walked in with the bamboo basket with great difficulty.

The emperor walked down directly from the dragon chair, he walked to the bamboo basket, and looked down at the huge sweet potato, which was different from the one that Angelica had taken out just now, that one was clean, but inside the basket was dirty, and there was mud sticking to it.

Angelica stood aside and explained: "Your Majesty, in order to facilitate preservation, the sweet potatoes in this bamboo basket have not been cleaned, and they will be cleaned when they are cooked." ”

"Hmm." The Emperor nodded, indicating that he was clear.

After a while, he asked again: "Lord Anping, how to cook this sweet potato?" ”

Angelica: "There are many ways to make sweet potatoes, whether they are steamed or boiled, they taste good, and in addition, they can be made into dishes. ”

"Oh, okay, I see, I'll let the Imperial Kitchen cook some of these sweet potatoes to taste today."

He thought about it again and said, "It's almost dinner time now, the county lord of Anping might as well stay in the palace to eat tonight, I called the queen over, let's all taste the taste of this sweet potato together." ”

The emperor said that he would leave the meal, and Angelica naturally did not refuse, so he had to agree.

The emperor looked at Long Xilin again: "Long Aiqing also stay." ”。

"Your Majesty." Long Xi paused and spoke to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Weichen has a reluctant request. ”
