The rain stopped, and the sun shyly emerged from the dark clouds.
There were deep and shallow footprints on the mountain road in the distance.
When it was time for the court meal, Qin Shihuang waited with interest.
There were still a few seats below the stage, and the officials in the court were also present.
Wang Teng had just sent someone to inform them that he had prepared a dish for them. It was a delicacy of this world!
You can't eat without blessing.
Thinking of this, Li Xin couldn't help but lick his lips.
Even Wang Teng said that it was a delicacy, so the taste was definitely not bad!
It should be said that as long as it came from Wang Teng, it was delicious.
The palace was very busy at the moment.
He was busy reloading the supplies onto the ship.
Due to improper preservation, some potatoes had already begun to sprout.
The Iron Eagle Guard who was responsible for guarding the potatoes stomped his feet anxiously.
Some of them were so straightforward that they even wanted to slit their throats.
Actually, it was not a big problem. They could still be planted after germinating.
The method was very simple. First, he asked them to find some vats and fill them with soil.
Then, he cut the potatoes into pieces. He could not cut them casually.
There had to be sprouts on the potatoes, and then they could be buried directly.
After covering the soil, the sprouts had to be exposed.
It had been raining for several days, so it was normal for them to germinate in the humid weather.
After Qin Shihuang knew about it, he ordered a team of Iron Eagle Guards to guard it day and night.
Watering, fertilizing, and killing insects, not a single one could be missing.
As for fertilizer, he could just use plant ash to wash the rice with water. He could not use manure directly. If he did not use it directly, it would easily turn cold.
These vats were the lives of the Iron Eagle Guards!
The guards were all elites of the Iron Eagle Guard. If something went wrong again, they would be so ashamed that they would draw their swords and commit suicide.
According to the plan, they had to set off after the court meal.
Actually, there was no need to be so anxious. In history, Old Zhao had stayed at the Langya Platform for three months. Now, it was only ten days.
There was naturally a reason why Old Zhao was so anxious-it was none other than Wang Tenger.
"I heard that there was someone selling tofu at the Azure River Pavilion not long ago. He sold it at night in the village and made a hundred dollars a day.”
"I've heard of it." " Yes." Li Xin nodded," It seems to be the method of an immortal master."”
"Indeed, its signboard is related to His Majesty.”
Wang Wan smiled bitterly.
Only Wang Teng had the ability to use the Emperor as a signboard.
He didn't understand why the tofu recipe was given to Qianshou.
Wouldn't it be better to hand it over to Langya County Governor and then let him implement it to the counties?
Wang Wan naturally wouldn't know of Wang Teng's good intentions.
"I probably know what Master Immortal is trying to do."
Meng Yi drank his tea calmly.
"I heard that two hours ago, the old man came to the foot of Langya Mountain.”
"He gave the guard a clay pot and said it was for His Majesty and Immortal Master.”
"Oh?"
The ministers were all surprised.
Only Qin Shihuang was expressionless and calm as usual.
As the emperor, how could he not know what was happening at his feet?
At this moment, Wang Teng walked in slowly.
"Sorry for the long wait."
"Immortal Master!"
Wang Teng gestured for the servant girl behind him to put the plate away.
It was an ordinary wooden plate with a slightly rotten tofu on it.
It could be seen that the soybeans used were not good.
The tofu wasn't white and was a little yellow, and there were even some bean dregs inside. It was obvious that the filtering wasn't done well.
There was only tofu and nothing else.
There were no shallots, no salt, no meat sauce, and no mustard sauce…
Wang Teng felt that this dish was enough. Adding on to it would lose the deliciousness of the dish.
" Tofu…Tofu?!"
These few days, they had tasted a lot of tofu.
So, what was Wang Teng doing?
Just this piece of tofu?
"Immortal Master, is this the delicacy of the world that you speak of?”
"That's right!"
Wang Teng sat down cross-legged.
He picked up the spoon and scooped up a large spoonful.
He ate in big mouthfuls.
There weren't so many rules now, so no one would think that eating was ugly.
On the contrary, this was a man's straightforward action!
The taste was actually not good.
Wang Teng's mouth was very picky.
However, he couldn't refuse this dish.
Since ancient times, people who made tofu had to wake up early.
It was hard to see at night, so he had to light a torch.
He couldn't afford to burn sheep oil. It was expensive!
Soaking the beans early in the morning and then grinding them…
A set of operations would take at least four hours.
Then, they would push the cart to the market to sell it so that they could catch up with the morning market.
Tofu had to be fresh, especially since it was summer. Wang Teng had never taught him about stinky tofu.
It was raining heavily today, so there was no need to go to the morning market.
Xiao Weng woke up early and braved the heavy rain to walk along a rugged mountain road.
Was he eating tofu?
It's a piece of my heart!
"I'm grateful for returning the favor.”
Qin Shihuang scooped up a spoonful, chewed it slowly, and savored the intention of this piece of tofu.
This piece of tofu was not something that anyone could eat just because they wanted to.
It was done out of gratitude.
Xiao Weng had clearly said that it was dedicated to Qin Shi Huang and the immortal master.
Xiao Weng had lived for so long and was also a smart person. He knew how to talk.
This credit was indeed given to Old Zhao. After all, Xiao Weng was promoting under his name. He should at least give some endorsement fees, right?
"This dish is indeed a delicacy in the world.”Qin Shi Huang smiled lightly." Immortal Master, you've troubled me.”
If it was possible, he was willing to do it every day.
He would never get tired of eating it for a lifetime!
Everyone present was smart. Connecting it to what Meng Yi had said earlier, they immediately understood.
Li Si looked troubled and was at a loss.
Actually, he wanted to stand up and say a few words.
After all, he was still a village chief. Why did he not do his job and run off to sell tofu?
Seeing Qin Shihuang like this, there was no need for him to stand out and provoke others.
"I remember that my ancestor, King Zhaoxiang, was sick and the people prayed for him.
When he recovered from his illness, the people killed cattle and offered sacrifices to repay God's kindness.
Tonight I braved the rain to send tofu, Yao, Shun and Yu never did! I congratulate Your Majesty!"
Meng Yi stood up and bowed.
It had to be said that he really knew how to behave. No wonder Old Zhao valued him so much.
He was able to connect the dots even though they were completely unrelated.
Most importantly, it made sense!
Wang Teng didn't mind.
His intentions were all in this tofu, and Qin Shi Huang already knew.
Li Si and the others understood. Didn't they see that his face was about to turn green?
That was enough.
He borrowed this plate of tofu to tell Old Zhao.
It may not be feasible to deal with the common people of the six countries by exhausting and weakening the people!
