A mouthful of yellow porridge entered his mouth, and Zhu Di sprayed it directly.

"Mr. He, this rice is rancid, and the taste is too strange!"

Zhu Di looked at He Qiu with resentment, feeling that He Qiu was joking with himself.

He Qiu Zhengse said: "Your Highness thinks this porridge is unpalatable, but in the entire Ming Dynasty, more than half of the people rely on this to fill their stomachs every day!" ”

"Isn't it!"

Zhu Di hesitated: "This king also followed his father to the south of the Yangtze River, and the people ate white rice and drank white rice porridge, where is this kind of yellow rice porridge!" ”

He Qiu sneered: "The Son of Heaven is paraded, officials at all levels naturally want to make the appearance of the great rule of the world, those poor people who can only eat yellow rice porridge and wear a pair of pants to go out as a family are not qualified to appear in front of you at all!" ”

When Zhu Di heard this, he immediately fell silent.

He Qiu continued: "These yellow rice were bought from the village by someone I sent yesterday, the rice is old rice, it is normal to have a rancid taste, but it is this kind of rice, and the people in the village also regard it as a treasure, I let His Highness drink this bowl of porridge, just to let His Highness really experience the hardships of the people's livelihood!" ”

Zhu Di sighed and said: "Thank you Mr. He for your hard work, this king understands, but Mr. He, you should wash it before cooking porridge, there is still sand in it!" ”

He Qiu said lightly: "I make porridge according to the practices of those people, it's not that they don't want to wash rice, but after washing rice, a lot of rice is washed away, and they can't bear it at all!"

His Royal Highness has been in the top position for a long time, if you want to drink porridge, the cooks will choose the best white rice, wash it cleanly, and then simmer it slowly for an hour or two with firewood, and then sprinkle some seasonings in the appropriate amount out of the pot, and then it will be served in front of Your Highness!

The porridge that His Highness drinks is completely different from the porridge that the people drink, so let Your Highness experience it! ”

Zhu Di strained his face and looked at the yellow rice porridge in the bowl very seriously.

He Qiu's words really touched him.

Before coming to Shuntianfu, he thought that he knew enough about the suffering of the people.

Now it seems that it is just scratching the surface.

"Thank you, Mr. He, this king has been taught, and this king will taste the taste of this yellow rice porridge!"

Zhu Di thanked He Qiu quite solemnly, then picked up the spoon and scooped another mouthful of yellow rice porridge into his mouth.

In an instant, the rancid taste rushes straight to the taste buds.

Zhu Di wanted to vomit again.

This people's livelihood is suffering...... It's too hard to mouth.

Zhu Di really didn't want to bear this pain alone, he turned his head to look at Yao Guangxiao and the others: "You guys also come to taste the taste of this yellow rice porridge and experience the hardships of the common people!" ”

The prince spoke, and Yao Guangxiao and the others could only obediently scoop themselves up with a bowl of yellow rice porridge and drink it with the prince.

Before drinking, Yao Guangxiao and the others were ready to drink unpleasantly.

But when the yellow rice porridge really entered, Yao Guangxiao and the others almost vomited it.

This Nima is simply pig food.

After taking a sip, the faces of Yao Guangxiao and the others turned iron blue.

When Zhu Di saw this scene, he almost laughed out loud, and he felt that the porridge was not so unpleasant.

Sure enough, happiness is built on the pain of others.

About a quarter of an hour later, Zhu Di, Yao Guangxiao and others finished drinking a bowl of yellow rice porridge.

He Qiu handed a bowl of mashed potatoes to Zhu Di and said with a smile: "Please taste the mashed potatoes again and try the taste!" ”

Zhu Di took the mashed potatoes, scooped a spoonful and put it in his mouth, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said excitedly: "It's so fragrant!" ”

He Qiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Your Highness doesn't think this potato rice is unpalatable?" ”

Zhu Di immediately shook his head and said, "Of course I don't think so, this potato rice is simply sweet!" ”

"Your Highness means that you like to eat potato rice?"

"That's right, this king likes it so much!"

Zhu Di said, and pulled a few mouthfuls of mashed potatoes into his mouth, as if he was eating something delicious in the world.

Yao Guangxiao and the others saw that Zhu Di was eating deliciously, and hurriedly served themselves a bowl of potato rice and ate it with relish.

Compared with the yellow rice porridge just now, these people feel the same way about mashed potatoes as Zhu Di.

Two words: it smells so good!

He Qiu brought up the sour and hot shredded potatoes and potato stew at the right time, and let everyone eat them.

Both of these dishes are traditional Chinese dishes.

Although Zhu Di, Yao Guangxiao and others ate it for the first time, they were quickly conquered and praised these two dishes.

When the potato banquet was over, Zhu Di grabbed He Qiu's hand and didn't let go.

"Mr. He is really a man of God, the potatoes you have cultivated, the yield per mu is so high, the taste is so good, it is simply the gospel of all the people in the world, this king on behalf of the people of the world thank you for your merits!"

After speaking, Zhu Di knelt down on one knee directly at He Qiu.

This scene shocked Yao Guangxiao and others.

You must know that the Ming Dynasty is very amorous and arrogant, and the vassal kings of all places will never bow down to anyone except the emperor.

But today, Zhu Di knelt down in front of He Qiu.

It's a fantasy.

He Qiu was also shocked by Zhu Di's move.

After a few seconds, he came back to his senses, hurriedly helped Zhu Di up and said, "Your Highness is so polite, you and I are friends, so you don't have to thank you for some trivial things!" ”

Zhu Di sighed: "Mr. He, you are so modest, this is not a trivial matter, this is a great achievement that can shine through the ages, with this potato, this king can guarantee that the people of Shuntianfu will no longer have to worry about hunger after three years!" ”

He Qiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Your Highness, in addition to living all the people, this potato has other great uses!" ”

Zhu Di looked at He Qiu with some confusion and said, "Isn't this just for eating?" What else is it used for? ”

He Qiu narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with some meaning: "This potato...... It is a cold-tolerant crop, which is very suitable for cultivation in Liaodong and the desert, does Your Highness understand? ”

Zhu Di didn't quite understand it at first.

But after thinking about it for a few seconds, his eyes lit up.

"Mr. He, are you serious about what you just said?"

Zhu Di showed an eager look on his face.

He Qiu nodded and said, "Naturally, I never tell lies!" ”

"This ...... This potato is really an artifact, with this artifact, the enemy outside my Daming Pass can completely collapse, hahaha! ”

Zhu Di laughed wildly proudly, and even threw a few punches into the sky to vent his excitement.

The land outside the customs of the Ming Dynasty can basically be regarded as a barren land, with almost no output.

Therefore, many families in the Ming Dynasty were not very interested in Guanwai.

When the imperial court sent troops abroad, these families were not very supportive.

However, if the desert outside the gate becomes a grain-producing area, those big families will be excited.

The families of the Ming Dynasty did not particularly attach great importance to the accumulation of wealth, but they had a heartfelt desire for land that could produce grain......
