Chapter 7 Tomato ripening

It's been two months since the last sweet potatoes and tomatoes were planted.

On this day, Xu Jiao had just finished a day of torture from the class of Mei University, and before he returned to his palace, he met Mei Xiang who hurried to report the good news.

"Princess, princess, one of the two plants you told us to plant last time is ripe, and the red one is beautiful, and now the people in our palace are watching it."

Xu Jiao is overjoyed, red, isn't that a tomato. But she clearly remembered that the growth cycle of tomatoes was about four to five months, so how could they ripen in only two months? Thinking of this, she shouted out the system.

"System system, why are the tomatoes produced by our system ripe so quickly?"

The system said in a somewhat proud tone: "The system must be a high-quality product." The improved crops produced by the system not only improve the taste, but also shorten the growth cycle a lot. ”

Hearing this, Xu Jiao was overjoyed, it might not be far from her eating fragrant roasted sweet potatoes, and she thought that she would have to wait for half a year honestly.

While thinking about it, Xu Jiao had already returned to Changle Palace.

Everyone in Changle Palace was beaming with joy on their faces, and everyone was vying to be the first to help Xu Jiao lead the way. Following a large number of palace people, the group came to the place where these two plants were planted at the beginning, only to see that the seedlings can be seen in the sweet potato field on the left at this moment, and the tomato field on the right is fully ripe, and it is red from a distance.

At this moment, the palace man who has been in charge of serving this tomato field for the past two months stepped forward, and the corners of his mouth were a smile that could not be suppressed, this is a plant that no one has ever seen!

"Tell the princess, the slave maid took care of this field according to the planting manual given to the slave maid by Sister Mei Xiang, and today I saw that this field has grown into the mature period mentioned in the manual, so I quickly invited someone to tell you."

Xu Jiao walked a few steps before and came to the side of a tomato, this tomato seedling is about half a person high, and it is full of red and plump tomatoes at the moment, roughly counting about eleven or twelve. Xu Jiao picked one off with her own hands, and just wanted to put it in her mouth, but was stopped by the palace people around her.

"No, princess, this thing is here all day in the wind and sun, and it is dusty, and it will be presented after the slaves and maids have washed it."

Hearing this, Xu Jiao put down the tomatoes that were sent to her mouth and said, "This thing is cut, sprinkle some sugar and send it to me." Today's dinner is also eaten with scrambled eggs. ”

When Xu Jiao ate the cold tomatoes sent to her, she felt that the taste was better than all the cold tomatoes she had eaten before. She beckoned Xiao Xiang and instructed, "Send one of these things to my father and queen mother, so that they can taste it fresh." ”

Xiaoxiang sent things to the queen first, and the queen heard that this was a new toss from her daughter, so she was full of praise, and rewarded some golden melon seeds for Xiaoxiang, who ran errands.

Xiao Xiang felt full of strength, and immediately went to the Lord of Yuehua Country. The lord of the country was reviewing the folds at the moment, and he was feeling dizzy, and when he heard that his daughter had brought the newly tossed food, he decided to taste it immediately.

The sweet and sour tomato was extremely refreshing, and the moisture was sufficient to relieve his dry mouth, and the lord of the country was suddenly happy, and his daughter was not in front of him and could not praise, so he also rewarded Xiaoxiang with a large amount of errand fees.

Xiaoxiang suddenly felt that her life was complete, and today she just ran errands to send something for the princess, and she was rewarded by the mother of the country and the lord of the country.

Xu Jiao got her wish and ate the tomato scrambled eggs from the small kitchen during dinner, and in order to let everyone in her palace try it, she specially added this dish to everyone's dinner.

Everyone spoke highly of this dish, on the one hand, because it was really delicious and the level of the cooks was high, and on the other hand, probably because the tomato was really a new thing, and everyone had never seen it.

The cook in the imperial dining room handed a message from the back kitchen, begging the princess to give this red thing a name, Xu Jiao thought about it seriously, it seems that no one here has discovered the New World, let alone tomatoes.

"Let's call it the red fruit, it's simple and straightforward, it's red."
