Xiao Yilin gave Xiao Yiyan a look that you only knew, then turned his head to Jing Yi and said, "Jing Yan, if you also like these exotic flowers and plants, I will help you collect them in the future." There are often merchants from other places or even foreign countries here in our capital, and they often bring some of their local things to sell here, I asked Steward Xiao to send someone to watch before, and if there are novelties or seeds, they will buy them back for you. ”

Xie Yunze listened to his cousin's tone to the young man next to him, his eyes flashed, and his gaze at Jing Yi was much more complicated.

Jing Yi said: "I don't like these exotic flowers and plants, I like to find more useful things." Just like this tomato, it can be eaten raw as a fruit or as a vegetable. In addition, the pomegranates, raisins, walnuts, sesame seeds, carrots, etc., which I bought from Hu merchants in the big market when I was shopping before, are all foods that we do not have here.

There are many plants in the world that can be eaten, but people don't know it, and my original intention is to find more new foods, so that people can eat more, and fewer people will be hungry.

It is suitable for planting different species in different regions, so we can introduce more food from foreign countries and try to plant it, maybe there will be high-yield and easy-to-grow food. There are also some plants that are not food but herbs, which are also very valuable. And I also have fun discovering new and valuable plants. ”

Xiao Yilin listened to the little girl's words, and was both moved and proud in his heart, worthy of being the woman he fancied, and her vision was long-term. Other little girls may see eating, drinking, and having fun, but his little girl really focuses on the suffering of the people.

Xiao Yiyan looked at Jing Yi with admiration and said: "Jing Yan, you are really amazing, and it is precisely because you have such a heart that you have created so many good things, cultivated high-yield food, and made great contributions to our Dajin."

In the future, I will also pay attention to the things brought by the Hu merchants, and maybe I will be able to come across things that have great uses. ”

Xie Yunze said: "My mother likes to collect exotic flowers and plants, and Steward Liu has been sending people to pay attention to this news, if there is something new to buy back, I will also ask An Lehou to help palm the eyes, maybe you can find new food or herbs." ”

Jing Yi smiled: "It would be great to have a few of you participating together." Brother Xiao collected sesame seeds for me before, and I have already planted some in Hui'an County, and when I harvest sesame seeds, I can grind sesame oil. Sesame oil is very fragrant and is generally used to flavor and enhance the flavor. It is very nutritious and can be used to make a lot of foods such as pastries. I'll make it for you to eat.

I got some grape seeds from the raisins two days ago and I'm going to try planting them. You must have drunk wine from the Western Regions, and it was made from grapes. ”

Xiao Yiyan immediately said: "I have drunk wine, and it is still a gift from foreign envoys to my father, which is said to be very precious. The wine is bright red like blood, sweet and sour in the mouth, and no one in our Dajin will make this kind of wine. ”

Jing Yi smiled: "Others won't, I will." The wine is made from grapes, and the taste and taste of wine made from different varieties of grapes are different, so you have to choose the right one. At that time, the sale of wine is another income, and it can also drive the business of the restaurant.

I'm going to collect a few more grapes. Grapes can be eaten not only as fruit but also dried into raisins, which can be stored for a long time. Raisins are also very nutritious and can be used in many foods. ”

Jing Yi talked endlessly about eating, and Xiao Yilin, who was present, was eager to listen.

Xiao Yiyan was young and the most lively, and made a direct request, "Jingyan, I really want to taste what you said right away." I'm going to eat delicious food with you in the future. ”

Xie Yunze is very happy to have met a new friend today, and he is also a knowledgeable and interesting friend.

He looked at the tomatoes in Jing Yi's hand and said, "I wonder if An Lehou can let us taste the food made of this tomato today?" ”

Jing Yi also looked at the two tomatoes in his hand and smiled: "That's no problem, this tomato will rot even if you don't pick it, it's better to eat it when it's ripe." I'm going to leave some seeds and plant them back. ”

Xie Yunze said: "My mother has ready-made seeds there, and I will have them brought to you when I go back." ”

Jing Yi immediately thanked him, "Then thank you to King Fukang." ”

Jing Yi was very happy to have a new food.

Xie Yunze picked a few more red tomatoes, "Since these tomatoes will rot in the end, it is better to use them as food." ”

Then a few people left the garden and slipped straight to the large kitchen.

The people in the big kitchen of the eldest princess's mansion were terrified when they saw that their own county king had brought His Royal Highness King Jing and His Royal Highness King Jin down, and they all bowed down and saluted.

Xie Yunze waved his hand and said, "Come and burn the fire alone, what should the others do." ”

A little girl who was burning the fire immediately came over and lit a cauldron.

Jing Yi said: "Then today I will show my hand and use this tomato to cook for you to taste." ”

Jing Yi asked the kitchen staff for eggs, flour and other ingredients, as well as sugar, salt and other spices. She washed all six tomatoes, cut three first, and beat a few eggs.

Jing Yi found that the eldest princess's mansion was eating lard. Jing Yi also learned that today's vegetable oil is generally used for lighting or combustion. Most of the food that people eat is animal oil.

Poor families can't afford to eat oil, and even if they put oil in cooking, they don't even put oil in it.

Jing Yi dug a piece of milky white ointment in the oil jar and put it in the pot, and when the oil was hot, Jing Yi fried the egg first. Fry the golden eggs on a plate and set aside.

There is still some oil left in the pot, Jingyi puts in chopped green onions, stir-fry the tomatoes after stir-frying, and then add some sugar. This is a tomato that has been fully cooked, and it will be soft and rotten after stir-frying for a while, and then Jingyi adds the fried eggs before, puts in salt, and stir-fry the scrambled eggs with tomatoes a few times to get out of the pot.

The scrambled eggs with tomatoes on the plate are red and yellow, and they look very beautiful.

Xiao Yiyan looked at it and said with novelty: "That's good?" Didn't expect this tomato to go well with eggs? It's a good look. ”

Jing Yi brought the plate to a long table in the large kitchen and said, "You guys taste it, I'm making you a tomato gnocchi soup." ”

Jing Yi asked people to brush the pot clean, then pour oil and stir-fry with chopped green onions, cut the remaining tomatoes into small pieces, put them in the pot and stir-fry, then add water to boil.

During this period, Jingyi beat some gnocchi with some flour, and after the soup in the pot boiled, he sprinkled the gnocchi directly into the soup.

In the end, Jing Yi also scattered two eggs into the gnocchi soup, and soon the tomato gnocchi soup was ready. Jing Yi didn't do much, it was enough for each of them to have a bowl and the eldest princess to spend a bowl.

After all, if you eat the tomatoes that people raise as rare flowers and plants, you have to give them to the owner.
