When Xue Wuyi and Nie Changfeng arrived at Zhang's Mansion together, they smelled a strange fragrance as soon as they entered the door, and they were a little choked, but they still couldn't help but want to smell it.

"You guys go in and sit down, and you'll be right away." Liu Meiniang entered the dance with a plate of cut vegetables.

"Mei Niang, you won't entertain us with lettuce, will you?"

Xue Wuyi blinked his eyes and said jokingly.

"But even if it's lettuce, as long as it's made by Mei Niang, I'll eat it." Seeing that Liu Meiniang ignored him, Xue Wuyi added.

Nie Changfeng looked around, probably Zhang Jirin hadn't come back yet, fortunately Zhang Jirin was not here, otherwise hearing this, the misunderstanding would have been even greater.

"Sister-in-law." Nie Changfeng put aside the thoughts in his mind just now and greeted Liu Meiniang.

"You sit down first." Liu Meiniang pointed to the strange seats in the room.

Because she wanted to open a hot pot restaurant, Liu Meiniang found a blacksmith shop early and made a lot of copper pots, but there was no electricity here, so she could only use copper pots to cook old hot pots and eat.

Put a carbon fire on the bottom of the copper pot, which is actually similar to a hot pot.

Xue Wuyi and Nie Changfeng walked into the room and saw a strange copper thing placed in the center of the round table, and a hole was cut in the middle of the table.

Xue Wuyi and Nie Changfeng picked two seats and sat down, Zhang Li and Liu Feng did not come, they knew that Zhang Jilin and Liu Meiniang were going to entertain their friends, so they had dinner in their own yard, and Zhang Jihan took the two little girls out for a spin, in fact, there were only four people who ate hot pot.

"This is hot pot?" Nie Changfeng asked.

"Yes." Liu Meiniang nodded with a smile.

The three of them were talking, and Zhang Jirin came back from outside.

"I'm a little delayed today, and I'm late to come back." Without waiting for Liu Meiniang to ask, Zhang Jirin explained the reason why she came back late, Liu Meiniang covered her mouth and smiled, in modern times, Zhang Jirin must be a good man.

Liu Meiniang put a table of hot pot in the room, and also put two tables in the side hall, so that Tianxuan Kaiyang Shiso and several people also cooked and ate.

The bad thing about the copper pot is that it can't be boiled into a mandarin duck pot, this Liu Meiniang is still looking for a blacksmith to find a way to see if it can be improved, so today Liu Meiniang is all cooked into spicy, but the peppers are very small.

In view of the fact that everyone doesn't eat chili peppers much, Liu Meiniang is afraid that the first time I put too many chili peppers, everyone will eat bad stomachs.

The dishes are basically all cut, the beef and mutton are all cut into thin slices, as well as chicken feet and wings, and green vegetable vermicelli. A table was set to the brim.

"How do you eat this?" After everyone sat down, Xue Wuyi asked weakly.

"Just put the things in it and cook it, I'll help you adjust the bowl in front of you, come and taste it."

After Liu Meiniang finished speaking, everyone started, after all, it looked delicious, and Xue Wuyi and Nie Changfeng were not welcome.

The mutton was soaked first, Nie Changfeng picked it up and put it in the bowl and dipped it, and finally put it in his mouth, his expression suddenly froze.

"This tastes ......" Nie Changfeng chewed the mutton for a long time, and the taste of chili peppers, Liu Meiniang didn't know if they could accept it.

"How?" Liu Meiniang asked Zhang Jilin, who was sitting next to her.

"Not bad." Zhang Jirin hooked his lips, he really likes this taste, although he usually eats lightly, but Zhang Jirin doesn't hate this spicy taste.

"It's a strange taste, but it's strangely delicious."

Xue Wuyi smacked his lips after eating two more slices of mutton shabu.

"Then you eat more." Liu Meiniang said with a smile.

She was relieved to see that everyone liked it.

Reaching out and scooping out a piece of mutton shabu, when I put it to my mouth, I suddenly felt nauseous.

"Hmm." Liu Meiniang moaned in a low voice.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Jirin immediately put down his chopsticks and patted Liu Meiniang's back, thinking that Liu Meiniang was choking.

"It's okay, I just think the mutton tastes a little strong." I probably hadn't eaten mutton for a long time, and when I ate it suddenly, I couldn't stand the taste of mutton, and Liu Meiniang signaled Zhang Jirin not to worry too much.

But Zhang Jirin still looked at Liu Meiniang with concern.

"Do you want to get a doctor?" Zhang Jilin proposed.

"Are you sick?" Xue Wuyi also looked at Liu Meiniang with concern.

"No, no, what are you making such a fuss about." Liu Meiniang took a sip of the white water hanging next to her.

Beckoning everyone to hurry up and eat. This little episode passed quickly.

"Hey, sister-in-law, isn't this a stone fruit?" Nie Changfeng picked up a potato slice and asked Liu Meiniang.

The way to eat potatoes has been popularized in Qingshi County, but there is no one in the capital.

When Liu Meiniang wrote the planting method to Zhuangzi before, she wrote down the crab breeding method and the potato planting method together, and asked Zhang Jirin to take it into the palace and hand it over to Emperor Changping.

"It's a stone fruit, but I prefer to call it a potato." Liu Meiniang blinked.

"It tastes good." Nie Changfeng took a piece of boiled potato and stuffed it into his mouth, and his eyes lit up.

"Not only does it taste good, but it's also an amazing potato yield."

Xue Wuyi said while eating.

"How much does this thing produce?"

Nie Changfeng asked in disbelief.

"It's much bigger than sweet potatoes anyway." Xue Wuyi replied.

Nie Changfeng's hands were full of vegetables, although they had never lived a life of lack of food and clothing, but a new crop was discovered, and the yield was so amazing, they had to pay attention to it.

"Mei Niang has written down the method of planting potatoes, and I will take it to Your Majesty tomorrow."

Zhang Jilin added, and several people chatted while eating like this.

"Mei Niang, consider me for your hot pot restaurant."

After Xue Wuyi ate, he lay lazily on the seat, obviously everyone was very satisfied with this meal.

"Huh?" Liu Meiniang looked at Xue Wuyi puzzled.

"The old rule, I will pay the money, and when the time comes, the hot pot restaurant will make a profit, and I will share the dividends." Xue Wuyi looked at Liu Meiniang seriously, after eating this hot pot today, Xue Wuyi can foresee that Liu Meiniang's hot pot restaurant business will be quite hot, and now if he doesn't get involved, is he still Xue Wuyi?

"Really?" Liu Meiniang's eyes lit up and asked.

Although she made some silver before, Zhang Jilin also has some silver here, but Liu Meiniang is not satisfied with only opening a hot pot restaurant in the capital, and the hot pot restaurant has just started, it does need a lot of start-up capital, her silver is enough, if it is all spent on this, in case something happens, but even the extra silver can't be withdrawn, Xue Wuyi's proposal Liu Meiniang is also very tempting.

"Nature is true." Xue Wuyi sat up straight, when encountering this kind of business thing, Xue Wuyi's intuition has always been very accurate, cooperating with Liu Meiniang, he has never lost money from the beginning, and now Caiyi Pavilion is in full swing, and Liu Meiniang is inseparable, businessmen are naturally where to drill where they have money, hot pot restaurant, Xue Wuyi said that he would also get a piece of the pie.

The two hit it off, and they said okay at the dinner table, Nie Changfeng looked at Xue Wuyi, and then at Liu Meiniang, he didn't have this idea, but Xue Wuyi never made a loss-making business, Nie Changfeng thought about it, and opened his mouth weakly.

"Sister-in-law, can I ...... too"

The next day, Emperor Changping announced that Liu Meiniang had entered the palace.

"Get up." Emperor Changping waved his hand, motioned for Liu Meiniang and Zhang Jirin to stand up, and walked down from the dragon chair.

Liu Meiniang wore a jasper-colored gold-edged embroidered pear skirt, covered with tulle of the same color, her hair was gracefully pulled up, and only a jasper hairpin was inserted.

There are many other courtiers in the main hall, and it seems that Emperor Changping did not disperse after he went down to the court, but waited here.

Seeing Zhang Jilin and Liu Meiniang coming in, the minister's eyes were a little puzzled and surprised, and he didn't understand what Emperor Changping meant by summoning a woman, but when everyone saw Liu Meiniang's face, some old officials changed their faces in an instant.

"Tilt your ......" An old minister looked at Liu Meiniang and muttered, and another minister next to him pulled his clothes, and that person woke up like a dream.

Everyone looked at Liu Meiniang with different eyes.

"Mei Niang, what you said is true?" Emperor Changping held a piece of paper in his hand, on which was the potato planting method written by Liu Meiniang.

"Back to Your Majesty, it's true, the stone fruit is not only very easy to plant, it can be planted on sandy land and dry land, but also the stone fruit can be made into stone powder and made into various foods."

Liu Meiniang looked up and explained.

"It's great." Emperor Changping laughed, if the cultivation of stone fruit is popularized throughout the country, it can solve the problem of eating for many people. How could Emperor Changping not be happy.

Liu Meiniang stood in place, without any smug expression on her face.

"Mei Niang, you are really a hero of Daqi." Emperor Changping patted Liu Meiniang's shoulder.

Originally, he liked Liu Meiniang very much, because Liu Meiniang and Yu Linglong looked very similar, but he didn't expect Liu Meiniang to find this kind of food, it is not an exaggeration to say that it has benefited the people of Daqi, and Emperor Changping now looks at Liu Meiniang more pleasing to the eye.

And the ministers looked at Emperor Changping's attitude towards Liu Meiniang, and they began to have their own conjectures in their hearts, and some even looked at Zhang Jilin with strange eyes.

"Your Majesty, there is another kind of food, that is, the red tip of Beirong, in fact, it can also be planted in a large area, the red tip is spicy, and if you eat it, it is conducive to removing the moisture in the body, and it is also beneficial to the body." Liu Meiniang thought about it and told the matter of chili peppers as well.

"Okay, you go back and write down the planting method, and I give the order to let it be planted all over the country." Emperor Changping's eyes lit up after listening to Liu Meiniang's words.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Liu Meiniang responded.

Liu Meiniang did not tell Emperor Changping about the method of raising fish in the rice field for the time being, because she was also the first experiment, and if the planting was successful, it would not be too late to say it.

"Mei Niang, you are really a hero of Daqi." Emperor Changping looked at Liu Meiniang, and seemed to look at the concubine through Liu Meiniang, and that kind of look made Zhang Jirin very unhappy.

"Your Majesty, if there is nothing to do, the minister and Mei Niang will retire first."

Zhang Jilin stepped forward and directly blocked in front of Emperor Changping, although he knew that such a move would make Emperor Changping unhappy, but Zhang Jilin couldn't care so much, he didn't allow any man to spy on Mei Niang, even the emperor.

Sure enough, Zhang Jirin's actions made a hint of coldness flash in Emperor Changping's eyes.

"Liu's Mei Niang, meritorious service in promoting crops, reward a thousand taels of gold......"

Emperor Changping turned back to his seat and said loudly. There were a lot of things to say later, and Zhang Jirin was no longer in the mood to listen.

Until Emperor Changping said that his voice was dispersed, Zhang Jirin pulled Liu Meiniang and walked out quickly.
