Chapter 58: The Death of the Great Qin Sages and Xiang Liang [One Update, Ask for Subscription]
Everyone ate and feasted, and they didn't look like the top of the empire at all.
Wang Jian patted his stomach and felt extremely comfortable.
"I can eat such a delicious meal in this life, even if I let the old man die immediately, the old man has no regrets in his heart."
Ying Zheng pointed at his nose and scolded with a smile: "What are you talking about, old thing?" β
"Now that the castration method of this "pig" is not top secret, why don't you just ask Chen Ke to give you a recipe for these dishes later?"
As he spoke, he also asked Chen Ke curiously: "Chen Ke, how did you make this thing so delicious?" β
"Is it just the pork's fault?"
Chen Ke didn't dare to take credit, and even said: "Your Majesty, to make these dishes, castrated pork is one thing." β
"The method used is "stir-frying" is another aspect.
"Stir-frying is different from boiling and steaming, frying uses oil, and can force out the flavor of the food to the maximum."
"And the most important thing is the spice that is placed in it."
Chen Ke said a few spices without changing his face, and the names of these spices even made Wang Jian feel a little frightened.
"No wonder this dish is so delicious, it turns out that you actually use spices worth a thousand gold?"
Wang Jian smacked his lips, feeling a little surprised.
"If this were me, I wouldn't be willing to use it."
Although Ying Zheng was also surprised, he didn't feel anything.
The left and right are just spices, he is the emperor, can he still feel that these things are not used?
It's just that he still feels that Chen Ke is extravagant.
"Originally, I looked at your life and thought that your life was too frugal."
Ying Zheng said with emotion: "Who would have thought that today's meal would let me know. β
"It's not that you're thrifty, it's that you're extravagant in another way."
"Don't live, travel, or wear again, you guy, you only pay attention to the desire of the tongue."
Chen Ke smiled and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, what is the meaning of being alive?" β
"It's just eating and drinking."
"As for living, the house rewarded by His Majesty is already luxurious enough, and if you wear it, the clothes on the minister's body are also carefully sewn."
"I can wear it, and it's very comfortable to wear."
"Why do you have to wear gold and silver?"
Chen Ke looked at Ying Zheng and said: "Besides, Chen Jue, these 'spices' are probably a kind of spice in themselves. β
"It's just that we haven't found another use for them."
Chen Ke's voice was full of yearning: "Your Majesty, if we can find the seeds of these spices and grow them ourselves, won't it be so expensive?" β
"At that time, will these things become the "spices" of ordinary people?"
Listening to Chen Ke's words, Ying Zheng also thought a little.
There is a real truth in that.
If the seeds of these spices can really be obtained from the Western Regions and planted in the vast Central Plains, will these spices be popularized?
He pondered for a moment: "Is the popularization of these spices good for the people?" β
Chen Ke nodded: "Your Majesty, the only benefit is probably that the people don't have to eat tasteless food, so that they can live a better life." β
In fact, Chen Ke also felt that it was not a good thing to popularize seasoning at this time.
Because the people are not yet well fed, eating well is not the first thing they think.
He thought differently.
"But if they can be cultivated, the nobles will buy them for the sake of their tonguesβif Your Majesty orders them."
"In this way, the people will have an additional way to obtain money."
"What's more, these things don't need to be cultivated on fertile land, nor do they need to be on large plots of land."
"It can be planted in the mountains, at the door, or even in the courtyard of the home."
Ying Zheng nodded: "In this case, when he arrives, he will send an envoy to the Western Regions and ask him to find the seeds of these things." β
It's just a trifle.
After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he looked at the food in front of him and suddenly felt emotional.
"Nowadays, although there is a three-cropping rice, it cannot be planted nationwide."
"Is there any food in the world that can be promoted throughout the country and can make people feel full?"
Wang Qian, Li Si, and Feng Quji, who had been silent at the banquet, were all silent, is there really this kind of food?
Only Chen Ke has always been in a daze.
He looked at Ying Zheng and said: "Your Majesty, the world is so big, the land behind the Western Regions, or even the more Western Regions, across the ocean, where the descendants of the Shang Dynasty lived, there will always be new grain seeds. β
"The climate of my Great Qin is different in the north and south, there are rice, millet, and grass, but what about another world separated by many heavy seas?"
Chen Ke's voice was gentle, as if he was appeasing.
"After Xu Fu returns, you can let Xu Fu continue to set off to find the land of the descendants of the Shang Dynasty."
"I hope that at that time, I can bring good news to Daqin."
At this time, Feng Quji's father and son glanced at each other.
Feng Zai stood up, with a slight determination in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to send an envoy to the Western Regions for Your Majesty to explore and see if there are any grain seeds in the Western Regions that are different from Great Qin."
"I hope Your Majesty will allow it."
Feng Quji, who was sitting there, looked at his son, and couldn't help but feel a burst of pride in his heart.
What the emperor asked them to do before, they have already done.
Today, the emperor asked them to come, which means that the core layer of Great Qin has reopened to them.
But for Feng Quji's father and son, this period of time has actually made them reflect and think about their past.
Suddenly, they discovered something.
Wang Jian has led 10,000 troops to conquer the six countries, and even destroyed several countries, which can be remembered in history.
Li Si has policies such as books and texts, cars and tracks, etc., which can be left in history.
Meng Tian guarded the northern Xinjiang and left his name in history.
Are they father and son?
Today coincided with the next opportunity, so Feng Zheng no longer hesitated and stepped forward.
Ying Zheng looked at Feng Zheng who was standing there, and then glanced at Feng Quji's expression, and immediately slapped his palms and laughed.
"Hahahahaha, good!"
"I have all the virtuous ministers in Daqin, how can I not prosper?"
Everyone exclaimed: "Your Majesty ten thousand years, Great Qin Great Qin-"
..........
In the village.
The summer temperature is very hot, but in the blink of an eye, the temperature change can sweep in.
A chill came from nowhere.
The sudden change in temperature made Xiang Liang's already uncomfortable body even more uncomfortable.
I've been on the sickbed for three or four days now.
"Ahem.... Ahem..... Cough. β
Xiang Liang couldn't stop coughing, with a dazed look on his face.
He looked at Xiang Ji next to the bed: "Yu'er, what time is it now?" β
Xiang Ji looked at his uncle on the sickbed, and for a moment his heart was full of mixed feelings, and all kinds of emotions gathered together.
He whispered, "Uncle, it's already hour. β
Xiang Liang looked at Xiang Ji and chuckled: "It's time?" β
He looked at the sun outside the window: "Forget it, help me out and shine on the sun." β
