Qin Chao only ate two meals a day.
One meal in the morning and one in the afternoon.
Although the sun was still high up in the sky, this meal was considered dinner.
"Come, come, let's eat."
After the steaming hot dishes were served, Zhao Yan greeted everyone.
The few people watched as he picked up two round wooden sticks from the table, picked up a handful of vegetables, and put them into Ying Zheng's bowl.
Then, everyone took a bite.
"Mister Zhao, what, what is this?”Wang Jian curiously fiddled with the two small sticks in front of him.
Zhao Yan moved the chopsticks on his hand and said,"This is called chopsticks. Like a dagger, they are tools for eating.”
Zhao Yan demonstrated again and said to them,"Try picking up food like this!"
Ying Zheng curiously picked up the chopsticks and tried to use them.
It was indeed a little clumsy at the beginning, but he quickly grasped the trick.
"Oh, not bad. It's easy to use." The First Emperor commented.
Then, he took a bite of the dish on the table.
"What meat is this? What kind of dish is this?"
"Oh, not bad indeed." The other two nodded in agreement.
The yellow pieces were a little pink and tasted quite good.
Moreover, after eating a few pieces, his stomach would feel full.
They had never eaten such a thing before.
"Oh, this is braised pork with potatoes."
"Pork?" The moment Wang Jian heard, his eyes widened in disbelief.
"Mountain boar?"
The three of them opened their mouths but couldn't speak for a long time.
Was this cheap meat?
The two of them carefully glanced at Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng's expression soon returned to normal, and he looked as still as the wind.
"Then what is this potato?"
Speaking of this, Zhao Yan was no longer sleepy.
"I wasn't bragging when I told you just now," he said proudly.”
"As long as you can think of a way to introduce me to the First Emperor, you will definitely be promoted!”
"To tell you the truth, these potatoes are a type of food!”
"It can be used to cook dishes or as a staple food!”
"Moreover, this thing is drought-resistant and high-yield.”
"The production capacity per mu has reached 4,000 catties!"
"As long as you help me find some connections and introduce me, I will cure His Majesty's illness.”
"If I offer these treasures, I will definitely not disappoint the First Emperor!”
"Pa da"!
The chopsticks in Wang Jian's hand fell onto the table, and he looked at Ying Zheng with excitement.
Hearing this, Ying Zheng felt a little excited.
His intuition told him that Mr. Zhao was definitely not lying!
The staple food of the Qin Dynasty was usually millet, wheat, and so on.
However, the yield per mu was usually three to four hundred catties!
This was because Great Qin's people did not know how to plant crops.
When they planted food, they dug a hole in the soil and occasionally removed the weeds.
The rest was up to the heavens.
Therefore, although the farmers worked non-stop, they could not fill their stomachs.
Not to mention that they had surplus food at home!
The staple food of 4,000 catties per mu
Even after collecting 70% of the tax, there were still more than 1000 catties left!
How could Great Qin's people starve?
Moreover, this way, it would probably take one to two years.
He had the pay to fight the Xiongnu and the Bai Yue!
No, no, no!
Not just that!
Ying Zheng's hands were also trembling.
"Young Master, is what you said true?" he asked as calmly as possible.”
"Of course it's true."
Zhao Yan also knew that in their eyes, he was still not a person that could be trusted.
After all, he had met them by chance.
If they rashly brought him to Qin Shihuang through their connections, what if he was an assassin or a remnant of the six dynasties?
Then they wouldn't die even if they had ten lives!
Therefore, there was nothing wrong with Old Zhao being cautious.
However, building a good relationship was not something that could be done overnight.
However, as the saying went, one would not wake up early without benefits.
If there were enough benefits, the temptation would be great enough.
They would definitely be tempted!
Then what he had to do would definitely be twice the result with half the effort!
"So, you guys have to put in some effort to help.”
"The opportunity to be promoted is right in front of you."
Wang Jian smiled and shook his head.
There was no chance for them to be promoted.
However, this young mister's chances were very high!
" If you don't mind," Ying Zheng asked tentatively," I can offer you these things on your behalf."”
"I believe that after Emperor Qin sees this, he will definitely summon you!”
"That won't do." Zhao Yan shook his head.
"I need to go personally.”
"Even if you go, you won't know how to explain it.”
He was not stupid!
Last month, she had gone to the county office with some hope.
After what happened to the county magistrate, he would never do such a thing again!
After the meal, Zhao Yan sent the three of them out.
The three of them were still savoring the aroma of the stir-fried dishes just now.
The few of them were full of praise for the meal just now.
It was really fragrant!
He felt that the food he had done in the first half of his life was not even considered food!
Facing everyone's praise, Zhao Yan was very humble.
He waved his hand and said,"Hey, these are all small tricks. They're not worth mentioning."”
"If you like it, I'll prepare some good wine next time.”
Before he left, he specially reminded,"Old Zhao, you have to pay attention to what I told you just now!”
"Promotion!"
Ying Zheng nodded." I will inform Mister Zhao if there is any news.”
After the three of them walked away, Xia Wuqie smacked his lips and said,""This old man has lived for so long, and today can be considered an eye-opener!”
"Mr. Zhao's medical skills are amazing, and his culinary skills are also so amazing!”
"And we've discovered new crops! This is simply Great Qin's lucky star!”
"Speaking of which, why does that plate look like porcelain?”
"It's a pity that I wasn't able to become Mister Zhao's disciple.”
Wang Jian and Ying Zheng thought of the iron pot and the porcelain in the kitchen of the medical hall.
Regrettably, Zhao Yan did not mention these two things again.
However, he had shown them such an important thing, and he had also told them about the potatoes.
It meant that this young man really had high hopes for them.
