Cheng Sanfu's words directly brought the secret meeting led by Li Er to the main topic.
Actually, this was also Li Er's main intention.
Did he really think Cheng Sanfu was so reckless? He was bragging about how awesome he was by telling them that Mu Chen had a magical species like sweet potatoes?
In reality, Cheng Sanfu looked carefree, but in reality, he was full of schemes.
Moreover, after spending so many years with Li Er, he was extremely clear about Li Er's expression, gaze, and actions.
To put it bluntly, the two of them were echoing each other and setting a trap for Mu Chen.
Mu Chen smiled. How could he not know?
However, there was naturally no way to hide the matter of the sweet potatoes. Sooner or later, they would have to take it out.
Moreover, he would not lose anything if he took out the planting method of sweet potatoes.
Apart from that, Mu Chen also had many crops that had never been brought into the Great Tang.
Any one of them could cause a huge stir in the Great Tang.
"A few months ago, I saw Duke Lu's memorial. The memorial said that the border guard marquis had a method to grow sweet potatoes? However, I don't know what this sweet potato is. Was it really as miraculous as Duke Lu said?”Li Er smiled.
As soon as he finished speaking, the rest of Duke Du, Xuan Ling, and Duke Qin all looked over.
Mu Chen smiled lightly and did not answer directly. Instead, he kept her in suspense and said,"Sweet potatoes are sweet and warm in nature. They have the effect of strengthening the stomach and replenishing qi. Their nutritional value is very high. In addition, sweet potatoes can also be eaten as a staple food. Moreover, the yield is relatively large. They are not particularly picky about temperature, climate, and environment. Moreover,"
Mu Chen explained the various benefits of sweet potatoes.
In fact, the sweet potatoes here were improved by the system.
Normally, the best time to plant sweet potatoes was in mid-April. After being improved, sweet potatoes could be planted in spring, summer, and autumn.
Moreover, the time for maturity was relatively short, only requiring two months.
Perhaps these two months were nothing to others. They might even think that it was a long time.
But to the Great Tang, which was in the midst of a great drought, it was extremely important.
If the entire country planted this thing called sweet potatoes, then in two months, there would be countless sweet potatoes harvested.
In this way, not only could the disaster be averted, but even the lack of food for the people would be resolved.
It could be said that a sweet potato looked inconspicuous.
In the current Great Tang, it could save a country.
From this point of view, it seemed extremely precious.
"Is this sweet potato really that magical? If what the Border Guardian Marquis said was true, wouldn't this be a great merit?”Old Master Du said excitedly.
"It's not just great merit. If this is really the case, this will become the national food of our Great Tang!”Xuan Ling said.
Hearing this, Mu Chen almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Return the national grain dragon melon? Why don't you just go up to the sky?
Of course, how could he say such a thing in such a place? Moreover, Old Master Du and Xuan Ling were also close friends of Li Er. Moreover, the evaluation of these two people in history was not bad.
Mu Chen was not the kind of person who would go around causing trouble, and he would not just say a few words to a couple for no reason. What was the difference between that and a mad dog?
"Of course, what I'm saying sounds a little illusory. Why don't I let His Majesty and all the lords taste it personally? Then, we'll know if what I'm saying is true or false!”Mu Chen said with a smile.
"Oh? If that's the case, that's naturally even better!" Li Er said.
Mu Chen nodded his head and turned to Niu Jinda, who was beside him."Uncle Niu, present our greeting gift to His Majesty!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the old bull laughed loudly.
"I've been waiting for this moment for a long time. Come, come, Your Majesty, sirs, this sweet potato is still warm here. Eat it while it's hot!”
As he spoke, Niu Jinda took out a package from his personal armor.
After opening the package, there were a few charred sweet potatoes inside.
Although it did not look good, it smelled very fragrant.
"This, this is a sweet potato?" Old Master Du frowned and hesitated.
"How can this thing be so ugly? Border Guardian Marquis, could this thing really be eaten?”Xuan Ling also asked in confusion.
"I say, you two scholars are really pretentious. I, Old Cheng, and Old Cow, ate sweet potatoes in the desert, and nothing happened. Now that the country is in trouble and the commoners can't even fill their stomachs, are you still so pretentious?”Cheng Sanfu said.
"This…"
"Hehe, sirs, there are actually many ways to eat sweet potatoes. It's just that I came in a hurry this time, so I roasted a few on the way. Although they don't look good, they can be eaten.”As Mu Chen spoke, he directly picked up a sweet potato.
He peeled off the charred skin on the outside, revealing the yellow meat inside.
Half of it went into her stomach.
Seeing this, Xuan Ling and Old Du both blushed and said,""It seems that we have the heart of a villain!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the two of them hurriedly picked up the sweet potatoes and began to eat them like Mu Chen.
In the end, just as he took the first bite…
The changes in their expressions were spectacular.
He was initially hesitant, but when he took the first bite of the sweet potato, he was immediately surprised, then delighted, and finally excited.
"This item is sweet and refreshing. It leaves a lingering fragrance after eating it. Moreover, it doesn't need to be paired with any dishes. It's really a magical item!”Old Master Du said.
Hearing this, Cheng Sanfu frowned.
"Don't be so sour. I, Old Cheng, don't understand. I'll just ask you one thing. Are the sweet potatoes delicious or not?”
"Hmm? Oh, it's delicious. It's really delicious!"
"Hahaha, isn't that enough? Your Majesty, why don't you try it too?" Cheng Sanfu laughed.
Li Er nodded. He picked up a sweet potato and took a bite.
In the end, his eyes flashed and he nodded repeatedly."Not bad, not bad. This sweet potato is indeed sweet and delicious. It's a blessing for Heaven and the Great Tang. If we can plant it in large quantities, it can solve the crisis of this drought. It's truly a national treasure of the Great Tang!”
"National treasure?"
When he heard Li Er's last sentence, Mu Chen almost staggered and fell.
A mere sweet potato was actually labeled as a national treasure?
