Then You'll Be Waiting to Drool
Chang 'an City, Cheng Mansion!
When Lin Fei returned home with the potatoes Li Shiming had left for him, he found that besides Cheng Yaojin, there was also Yuchi Gong, Li Jing, Li Ji, Hou Junji, and even the recovering Qin Shubao. A group of people was waiting for him at the door.
Seeing this lineup, which could be said to be the strongest in the Zhenguan period, standing at the entrance of the Cheng Mansion waiting for him, Lin Fei felt a sense of pride in his heart for a moment. He wanted to shout, This was what a real man should do!
When Cheng Yaojin saw Lin Fei arrive, he was the first to run over to welcome him. The others were half a step behind Cheng Yaojin. This was not because Cheng Yaojin's status was higher than theirs, but because this was Cheng Yaojin's residence. They could not steal Cheng Yaojin's limelight.
Cheng Yaojin came to Lin Fei. "Fuma, what did you bring? Let me see!"”
Lin Fei was not used to the title of Fuma. He was already uncomfortable when he heard Madam Qin call him that. Now that he heard Cheng Yaojin, he was even more uncomfortable. He frowned and said,"I'm not used to this title. You guys should call me Lin Fei or Brother Fei in the future!”
After saying that, Lin Fei handed the potato to Cheng Yaojin and said,"This is good stuff. When this thing is served with beef, it's a delicacy. I guarantee that none of you have ever eaten it.”
Cheng Yaojin took the package from Lin Fei and opened it. He found that he had never seen anything inside.
"Brother Fei, what is this?" Lin Fei actually didn't like to be called Fuma, so Cheng Yaojin was very sensible and called Lin Fei Brother Xiaofei. As for Lin Fei's request to call him Lin Fei or Brother Fei, Cheng Yaojin felt that it was inappropriate.
"This thing is called potatoes. It's a type of food, but its production far exceeds wheat and rice. After stewing it with beef, it emits an alluring fragrance and tastes first-class.”
As Lin Fei walked inside, he introduced potatoes to Cheng Yaojin and the others.
"What is it? After three to four months of planting this thing in the ground, it could produce more than twenty catties?”After hearing Lin Fei's introduction, Li Jing suddenly shouted. He was even more shocked than Li Shiming when he first heard about it.
"Yeah, is there a problem?" Lin Fei asked indifferently.
"So you plan to eat it now?”
"That's right. Otherwise, why would I go back to get it?”
"What a prodigal!"
Li Jing suddenly cried like a ghost. At this moment, Lin Fei remembered that when Li Jing was young, his family seemed to be very poor. His mother starved to death. Therefore, when he saw that Lin Fei wanted to eat a divine item like potatoes, he could not bear it for a moment.
Seeing that Li Jing was like a child who had his candy stolen and was furious, Lin Fei could not bear it and comforted him,"It's fine, the emperor has given them a lot. It's enough to be seeds. No matter how much they give to the people, they won't want it!”
Lin Fei's consolation was ineffective. Instead, it made Li Jing even more agitated." Don't talk nonsense. Ordinary people can't even get such good things. If you don't want them, you're just trying to satisfy your own mouth. It's not enough for the lives of the ordinary people!”
Seeing that Li Jing was so ungrateful, Lin Fei was also furious. He flicked his sleeves and said,"Hmph, isn't it just a few potatoes? So what if I ate it? If you have the ability, don't eat it later.”
Seeing that Li Jing and Lin Fei were getting more and more angry, Cheng Yaojin and the others quickly persuaded them. Lin Fei became even angrier and said to Cheng Yaojin and the others,"If you have the ability, don't eat it later.”
After saying that, Lin Fei took a step closer to the Cheng residence.
In fact, it was not that Lin Fei did not understand what these potatoes meant, but he knew that the people of China, whether in the Great Tang or in the 21st century, when they encountered new species, most people chose to wait and see. When they saw that others had gained something, they would jump in.
Therefore, even if Lin Fei took out potatoes to the commoners and told them that one potato could grow more than 20 catties of grain, no one would believe him. Some people would even call him a madman.
Now that Li Shiming had taken away so many potato seeds, it would definitely be one or two years later when he learned that potatoes could produce more than 2000 catties of grains. By then, those potatoes in his hands would be worthless.
Besides, even though he could get potatoes from the Encyclopedia, as long as he had enough gold, those officials still owed him a lot of gold. When he went back just now, many people had already delivered the gold. What was wrong with him eating a few potatoes?
These were not the reasons that made Lin Fei the angriest. What made Lin Fei the angriest was that Li Jing and the other generals did not consider the reality of the situation. They only thought that if potatoes could grow so much food, the commoners would definitely win. They did not think about whether the commoners believed that potatoes could really grow more than 20 catties of food.
Seeing Lin Fei walk in angrily, Cheng Yaojin and the others could only sigh softly and follow him.
Li Jing also calmed down. Seeing that everyone had gone in, he followed them in, but his expression was not too good.
