Chapter 253: Lotus Root Feast

"Mother, do you have sleep night sweats, chills, annoyance, and soreness in your waist and knees?" Kapok thought of something and said.

"Oops! Girl, you're about to get rid of the roundworms in your mother's stomach. You have all these symptoms. When I'm upset, it's uncomfortable to scratch my heart and liver. What's wrong with this girl? You said that our family's life is getting better and better, why is my mother still hypocritical? Liu Po asked suspiciously.

The girl's medical skills are high, and she may really be able to cure her hypocrisy.

"Mother, this is not hypocrisy, this is called menopause. It's a geriatric disease, don't be too anxious, treat it with a normal heart. You drink this sleeping tea first, I met an overseas pharmacist in the capital two days ago, he has a full range of medicines, and there should be special drugs for menopause. He has not been in the capital for the past two days, and when he comes back, I will go and see and buy some medicine for my mother. ”

I don't know how many times Kapok has taken out overseas businessmen to take the blame.

The reason why she had to wait for two days was not because her space was blown up by a player who sneaked in to steal vegetables.

She estimated that it would take two more days, and she would not be able to get tens of thousands of gratitude points until 10,000 first-aid books were put into various states and counties. After the space is restored, you will be able to exchange it for some medicines for menopause treatment from the mall.

"That's it, my mother is not bad for these two days." Liu Po never doubted the truth of her daughter's words.

In the palace, the emperor's sleeping hall Qiankun Palace, the emperor's dinner is eaten with the queen and the prince. He didn't have much appetite, but he really ate two meals from the county king's mansion, and his mouth was raised.

If you eat the dishes made in the palace's imperial dining room, it will be tasteless.

"The emperor's food is not to taste, what does the emperor want to eat, and the concubines sent someone to the imperial dining room to remake it." The queen whispered with concern.

She has been paying attention to the emperor, and she hasn't eaten a few bites.

"No need, I'm not hungry, you and the emperor eat." The emperor replied.

At this time, the eunuch entered the palace and said, "Your Majesty, the county lord sent the little servants in the county king's mansion to send things." Can the emperor let people in? ”

When the emperor heard this, his eyes lit up, "Spread quickly." ”

Father-in-law Xu quickly brought in two small servants who came to deliver things.

I don't know what good things are in the bamboo, a small guy carries it on his shoulders with a flat pole. Pick a bamboo root at one end. The bamboo is covered with a red cloth.

The emperor was too curious about the good things in this bamboo tree, so he walked over in person.

The queen and the crown prince are equally curious, and their minds are all on these bamboo things, how can they still eat.

"Father, quickly lift the red silk and see what good things the imperial aunt has given her?" Chu Tianming said anxiously.

"I'm going to lift the red silk, don't worry, the emperor." The emperor's interest was brought to a climax. Lift the red silk.

The queen and the crown prince all gathered around, and when they looked at the white and fat things contained in the three bamboo buds, some of them looked like sweet potatoes, and they were bigger than sweet potatoes, and their skin was not red.

"I still know this lotus seed in this palace, but I really haven't seen this white fat thing in this palace." The queen said truthfully.

The prince is young, and he has just entered the palace, and his knowledge is not as good as that of the queen mother, and it is impossible to know what is called in the bamboo tree.

Both the queen and the crown prince set their eyes on the emperor, waiting for him to answer his questions.

But seeing that the emperor's face had always been unfazed, he was full of shock, and his eyes were slightly moist, obviously shocked by the things in the bamboo tree.

The two of them waited for a long time before they heard the emperor say in a choked voice, "This...... This is a jade shoot. ”

The emperor also resounded about the past, that was when he was still the crown prince, and he remembered that among the things that a small country tributed, there were jade shoots.

At that time, his father also rewarded him with a few jade shoots, and the crisp taste was really good! It became a rare delicacy in his memory.

More than ten years have passed now, and he has never tasted jade shoots again.

That small country has also to pay tribute to the Great Chu State over the years, and it is a pity that it has never paid tribute to the jade shoots again.

As the emperor of a big country, he naturally couldn't pull down his face and took the initiative to ask for jade shoots with a small country.

The emperor never dreamed that today, more than ten years later, he would be lucky enough to see jade shoots. He couldn't wait to eat the jade shoots now.

What he was most curious about was where did the county lord get so many jade shoots?

"Your Majesty, please see, there are small notes in this bamboo shoot, and there are even recipes for making delicious food from jade shoots. It can be seen that the county lord's intentions. The queen's sharp eyes saw the paper on the jade shoots, and specially presented these papers to the emperor.

The emperor took the paper and looked at it quickly, and the handwriting was a little too dragon and phoenix dancing.

The first piece of paper states that the jade shoots are also called lotus roots, and it turns out to be the rhizome of the lotus flower. Edible and extremely nutritious.

Who would have thought that? The literati of the Great Chu State appreciate lotus flowers, but no one has ever dug lotus roots. I didn't know that the jade shoots grew on the rhizomes of lotus flowers.

It is no wonder that the small country has only paid tribute once, and has not paid tribute since then.

It should be found that the Great Chu Kingdom also has lotus, so naturally there is no shortage of jade shoots, and then paying tribute to such ordinary things is afraid that it will be disrespectful to the big country.

The emperor sighed that this was a big trouble.

Fortunately, the county lord found that the lotus root grew on the rhizome of the lotus flower. He was a little grateful for the county lord's whimsy, and would think of letting people go into the water to dig lotus roots.

This discovery not only benefited him, the emperor, but also the people of the Great Chu State could have one more delicacy on the table from now on.

Historians recorded that on September 20 of the first year of the Great Chu Kingdom, the county lord Kapok offered lotus roots, and found that the lotus roots grew at the lotus rhizomes. The emperor is happy and rewarding the county lord with countless treasures. gave the title of the county lord and the lord of the county. Positive five products.

The Queen Mother's Kunning Palace also received lotus root and lotus seeds, and even more snow shadow orchids.

The queen mother also knew about the jade shoots, after all, when the emperor was alive, the jade shoots paid tribute by the small country were also distributed to her palace.

She was also quite shocked when she saw the jade shoots, but not as shocked as the emperor.

The Queen Mother was even more shocked by the best snow shadow orchid among orchids, she was obsessed with orchids, and also sent many people to search for orchid varieties.

There are also many varieties of orchids planted in the garden of Kunning Palace, but there is no snow shadow orchid. This variety of orchid can be said to be very rare.

I don't know where the wooden girl came from? When I found it, there were more than a dozen plants. The Queen Mother was so moved that she was about to cry.

The wooden girl must have heard her youngest son say that she loves orchids very much, so she bothered to find this snow shadow orchid. This girl hasn't passed the door yet, but she has this filial piety. She was relieved.

The Queen Mother once again sighed that her youngest son's vision was good. There is no girl in this world who is more attractive than the wooden girl.

The county king's mansion is also very lively because of the discovery of lotus roots.

At the last all-sheep banquet, Kapok didn't send anyone to invite the master next door and his three younger brothers.

That's because the emperor and the queen mother are here, even if you invite a few masters to come over, it must be because of the emperor's majesty, and it will not be good to eat.

For this lotus root banquet, Kapok naturally had to arrange someone to invite a few masters.

When Zhao Xin and a few people came over, it happened that the rewards in the palace had also arrived.
