Li Yuan left with Guan Yu.
He had obtained the chili seeds, and these treasures could not be delayed.
However, the planting of chili peppers was not that particular. They could be planted most of the year. Although there were no greenhouses, the Great Tang was vast.
He just needed to find a suitable place to grow chili peppers.
Of course, this was the matter of the Minister of Revenue, Xiao Yu, and he did not have to worry about it.
The matter with Wu Zetian was just something that Li Yuan found interesting and came up with.
However, to Wu clan and Wu clan.
This had changed their entire family.
After the warrior respectfully sent Li Yuan off, he hugged Wu Zetian and smiled happily. It was as if all the pent-up anger of the past few years had been vented. Everyone said that after Li Yuan established the country, he was thrown aside.
He didn't even remember what happened back then.
But today, if Li Yuan didn't remember what happened back then, how could he have such a huge reward?
The maids and servants of the Wu family were still waiting below the teahouse. When they heard the laughter of the family head, they looked at each other in dismay. It was obvious that the warrior had been humiliated when he went up just now.
Why was he so happy now?
Wu Shi took Wu Zetian downstairs and looked at the maids and servants happily."You guys go and buy it quickly and make it according to the specifications of the New Year.”
"From now on, the Wu family will have a foothold in Chang 'an.”
"Order the butler to send invitations to all the families. Three days later, I will hold a banquet to celebrate the three blessings!”
The maids and servants did not understand what had happened.
However, they knew one thing.
The patriarch was delighted.
In this way, their rewards and wages would not be low. Moreover, there were benefits to buying things. One or two people left happily.
Wu Zetian looked at Wu Shi Huan with some doubt. She also did not understand why her father was so happy.
However, she was also tired from playing and fell into a deep sleep.
In the Imperial Palace.
Li Yuan took a bath and changed his clothes to wash away his fatigue. He then sat by the side of the sea to fish.
Eunuch Lin also whispered,""Your Majesty, Minister Xiao has arrived."
Li Yuan nodded slightly and put down the fishing rod. The palace maid beside him immediately took it and sat down in the pavilion.
A pot of new tea. The tea leaves inside were slightly undulating.
This was not Tang tea, nor was there chopped green onion or ginger in it.
It was a tea tree that he had accidentally discovered in the imperial garden. The plants in the imperial garden were all more precious than the last, but he was still pleasantly surprised to find a tea tree.
It wasn't that he liked drinking tea.
But he was afraid of comparison.
The thing he found most unacceptable about the Tang's tea was that it had sheep oil. He wondered what kind of genius had invented it.
Xiao Yu followed Eunuch Lin over.
He cupped his hands at Li Yuan and sat opposite him.
Xiao Yu looked at the tea in front of him with a hint of curiosity in his eyes. He said,"Your Majesty, this is?"
Li Yuan smiled and didn't hide anything." This is a new tea I've discovered. Try it."”
After Li Yuan finished speaking, he poured a cup for him personally.
Xiao Yu held the tea with both hands and did not dare to neglect it. Then, he imitated Li Yuan and took a sip before slowly finishing the tea.
It tasted bitter.
Then he returned to his hometown.
Just like life, it was worth savoring.
Xiao Yu had only drunk one cup, but he felt that the tea soup from before was not something for humans to drink at all. He said,"Your Majesty, this is my first time drinking tea.”
"However, the taste is surprisingly good.”
Li Yuan smiled and said,""These are just some tender tips. Zhen will make tea and drink it. The real tea leaves still need to be fried and processed.”
"If you like it, when you leave later, zhen will get Lin Cheng to wrap some for you.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xiao Yu quickly cupped his hands and said.”
"I wonder, Your Majesty, why did I come today?”
Li Yuan had known Xiao Yu for many years and knew his character.
He was serious and meticulous. He glanced at Lin Cheng and Lin Cheng immediately brought over a tray.
There were some chili seeds on it.
Xiao Yu was a little surprised, but he didn't say anything and waited for Li Yuan to explain.
Li Yuan took the chili seeds and said to Xiao Yu,""This kind of crop is called chili. This kind of seed also needs to be bred. It needs to be moistened with water and then covered with cotton cloth.”
"It will germinate in four to five days."
"After that, we can plant them and harvest them in two to three months.”
Xiao Yu nodded slightly. As the Minister of Revenue, he had some understanding of these matters. Moreover, he was very familiar with some capable people in the Ministry of Revenue.
He only needed the general operation process, and the rest was the return of all techniques. It was almost the same.
He was more curious about what the chili was.
Xiao Yu didn't touch it with his hands. Instead, he said,""Your Majesty, can this chili fill your stomach? The Great Tang's harvest was truly poor.”
"Moreover, natural and man-made disasters have caused the farmers to become even more barren.”
Li Yuan waved his hand slightly, and Eunuch Lin brought the chili seeds down.
The seeds rewarded by the system could be planted on more than 10,000 mu. Moreover, the seeds were excellent seeds. It could be said that as long as the people from the Ministry of Revenue were not stupid, they would be able to grow the seeds.
Then, these seeds could all be turned into chili seedlings.
Li Yuan didn't directly mention the effect of the chili. Instead, he said,""Shiwen, at this time, zhen summoned you into the palace, you probably haven't had dinner yet, right?”
"Why don't you eat a little by the sea with me?”
Hearing this, Xiao Yu understood Li Yuan's meaning and immediately nodded."Your Majesty, this old minister is honored to be able to accompany Your Majesty to eat.”
Before Xiao Yu arrived.
The imperial kitchen was already prepared. At this time, the dishes were also ready.
Dishes of stir-fried vegetables were served.
Fish head with chopped pepper.
Spicy fried mutton.
There was also a red oil hotpot. All of them were red in the eyes.
Li Yuan felt that it was a pity that the Great Tang did not have the habit of eating pork. This was because many people felt that pork was fishy, and of course, the bigger reason was that they could not afford to eat it!
As for the royal family, they would not eat it either.
Cattle were inedible, so there was more mutton.
Li Yuan had eaten a few light meals. When he saw the dishes and rice in front of him, his appetite was greatly stimulated. Xiao Yu, on the other hand, was dumbfounded.
He did not recognize the red thing at all.
Li Yuan looked at Xiao Yu and said," Shiwen, don't worry. There are no outsiders here. This red one is chili. It can't be eaten."”
"It's just a seasoning like salt.”
"It tastes fishy and spicy, spicy and hot. It can warm the middle and stomach, dispel cold, dry dampness, and sweat!”
"There are countless benefits. Of course, there are also a few people who can't eat too much. At present, what Zhen values the most is to keep out the cold.”
As Li Yuan spoke, he had already placed the thin slices of mutton into the hotpot.
The royal chef of the palace.
It was a piece of cake for him to slice some mutton. After the oil soup was stirred a few times, the mutton was cooked. Li Yuan did not stand on ceremony.
They immediately began to feast.
Seeing this, Xiao Yu also reached out his chopsticks. As a native of the Great Tang, this was the first time he had eaten chili in the Great Tang.
