Chapter 142: Ying Zheng tastes sugar cane

The output of Wuliangye is actually not low, and there is only one reason why it is extremely precious as said by Xiao Zhengtai.

Sell at a high price!

Those palace ministers, dignitaries and nobles all have a lot of money, and the wine sold to them must be of high grade and precious, so as to highlight their differences!

If the annual output is the same as running water, they will not feel precious and will not be willing to pay this big price!

According to the agreement, the winery will send a batch of Wuliangye to Ying Zheng every month, because the output is very small, it is not a very important banquet, and he will never take it out!

Today, Xiao Zhengtai led the Flying Eagles to a big victory, and Yingzheng gritted his teeth and took out a few altars!

The degree of Wuliangye is very high, and while the soldiers let go of drinking, they are also properly grasping the scale, and they dare not drink themselves in front of the emperor!

At the end of the banquet, the sun was already setting, all the soldiers went home to visit relatives, Xiao Zhengtai returned to the palace to put down his personal belongings, holding two jars of canned lychees, and ran to Yuxiu Palace to find Lian'er!

Yuxiu Palace was given to Lian'er by Yingzheng to live alone, which was the closest to his dormitory, and the feng shui was also the best.

"Mother...... Mother......! ”

The last time the two met was before the expedition, and his mother saw him off.

I haven't seen you for more than a month!

He suddenly found that after entering the palace, it was better to be outside the palace, and the two could still be together from time to time.

After entering the palace, he was entangled in messy things during the day, and wanted to find his mother when he was free at night, but was rejected by Yingzheng, and he didn't have to think about it to know what the picture was inside!

There was no way, he could only go to his mother when it was just dark.

"Feathers?"

Hearing her son's immature and familiar voice, Lian'er hurried to the door to greet her, looking excited, "Feiyu, you are finally back, my mother is worried to death!" ”

"I told you a long time ago that this kid is very good, but you just don't believe it!"

Immediately afterwards, the voice of Yingzheng's old goods sounded in the house.

Hearing that discordant voice, Xiao Zhengtai's face immediately pulled down!

I saw that this old man had drunk a lot of wine just now, shouldn't he go to the dormitory to rest at this time? Why did you run to your mother's place again?

"Father is also here!"

"Well, I knew that your kid would come here in the first place, and I was waiting for you here!"

Ying Zheng nodded with a smile.

"What's in your hand?"

Seeing that Xiao Zhengtai was holding the clay pot in both hands, Yingzheng's intuition told him that it must be something good inside.

This kid is like an elf, his mind is full of strange things, and every once in a while he comes up with something new!

I haven't seen you for more than a month, and I've come up with something new!

"This is called canned lychee, it is made of Lingnan specialty lychee, it is very delicious, I specially brought it back to my mother...... Forehead...... And the Emperor's! ”

Xiao Zhengtai smiled.

They brought back a lot of canned lychees this time, and after arriving in Xianyang, he only kept ten cans for himself, and the rest were distributed to the soldiers of the Flying Eagles!

"Lychee?"

Lian'er had never heard of it, raised her eyebrows, and asked suspiciously.

And Ying Zheng was full of surprise, "I know that lychees grow in Lingnan, sweet and juicy, but because they are juicy, it is difficult to preserve, are you sure you brought back lychees?" ”

"Of course, lychees are indeed difficult to preserve, but no matter how difficult they are, they can't help it!"

Xiao Zhengtai slightly put the jar in his hand on the table in the room and opened the seal of the jar.

The fragrance of lychee immediately wafted out.

"Huh? It smells so good! ”

Lian'er indulged in it.

Xiao Zhengtai found two wooden spoons and handed them to the two!

Ying Zheng is well-informed, and he has heard the county guards in Lingnan mention lychees, but it is the first time he has seen it.

Looking at the white and fragrant lychees in the jar, saliva secreted unconsciously in the mouth!

"Mother, try it, it tastes really good!"

"Good!"

Lian'er nodded, scooped a spoonful into the jar, and suddenly squinted her eyes, "Hmm! Sweet, smooth and delicious! ”

"The taste is really not bad, more than a little stronger than these fruits in Guanzhong!"

Ying Zheng also nodded approvingly.

Over the years, he thinks he has not eaten less delicious things.

But in the past six months since he met Xiao Zhengtai, his cognition has been completely subverted.

Now think about it, what you were eating before!

So, Ying Zheng spoonful after spoonful, kept scooping into his mouth, and couldn't stop!

Previously, the Lingnan County Guard reported that there is a fruit called lychee in Lingnan, which can rot and deteriorate within two days of picking, so there is no way to bring it to Xianyang.

Unexpectedly, one day he would be able to eat this rare fruit!

"Father, eat slowly!"

Seeing that a can of lychee was about to be eaten by this old man, Xiao Zhengtai hurriedly reminded him.

Didn't this old guy eat at the banquet just now? How can you still eat so much?

"Huh? Yes! Good, good! ”

Knowing that he was out of shape, Ying Zheng's old face turned red and he nodded embarrassedly.

No way, this stuff is so delicious!

"What kind of secret recipe did you kid use to bring lychees back from distant Lingnan?"

While tasting the deliciousness, Ying Zheng did not forget to learn from the experience.

"In fact, it is very simple, in addition to lychees, there is also a plant called sugarcane in Lingnan, which has a high sugar content, which can be boiled out of white sugar, and then boiled with white sugar and lychees, and can be canned and sealed!"

Xiao Zhengtai introduced the whole process.

"Sugar cane?"

Ying Zheng doesn't know very well, after all, this thing is not widely used in this era.

"That's right, the sugar from the sugar cane is soft and sweet, much better than the current caramel sugar!"

"Then sugarcane may be planted in Guanzhong?"

"Absolutely!"

"Haha, okay, when spring begins, I will order Lingnan to send a batch of sugarcane seedlings to Xianyang and popularize the entire Guanzhong!"

Although the caramel has a sweet taste, it is definitely not as sweet as Yingzheng is eating now.

And increasing the variety of crops can also increase the income of the people, which can be said to be the best of both worlds!

"After autumn, I ordered the people to pick ripe potatoes, peppers, corn and other crops, and next year it can also be popularized in Daqin!" Ying Zheng said excitedly.

"Good! By the time we get to the autumn of next year, the people of Daqin will be able to have surplus food in every household, and they will pay more taxes! ”

Xiao Zhengtai nodded with satisfaction.

With corn and potatoes, it would be good when the big brother of the system could give some more hybrid rice seeds.

"You kid is right, only when the people are rich, can the country become rich!"

Through selling paper and salt in the past six months, Ying Zheng also realized the huge benefits brought by being a businessman.

Before, it was more difficult to let the treasury pay some money than to let them eat, and the book was written three times to stop the construction of Afang Palace!

Now that there is salt and paper, there is income coming in every day, and the financial control is more convenient, and those ministers will no longer push back!

It's just that there are too few craftsmen now, and Afang Palace is still in a period of suspension!
