"Can I taste this bowl of sweet potato porridge? I will pay you accordingly.”
Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng said.
For ordinary people, being able to present food to His Majesty was already a supreme honor.
However…
To a child.
He did not have so many miscellaneous thoughts.
To be honest, Emperor Ying Zheng was too embarrassed to pull his old face and trick a child into giving him food. After all, this food might be a precious meal for ordinary people.
Therefore, he suggested using money to exchange for it.
"There's no need for that. If you want to eat it, I can give it to you directly.”The child shook his head and said.
Sweet potatoes.
There were so many things in Taoyuan Village that he couldn't put them down.
Most of the time, it was used to feed livestock. Now, no one in Taoyuan Village ate it.
Therefore…
He really couldn't figure it out.
Why would someone take the initiative to eat sweet potato porridge?
Perhaps it was because they were too hungry. Back then, they had been living in the open and often went hungry. If it wasn't for the young master building Taoyuan Village, they wouldn't be living such a good life now.
Therefore, when he saw people who were so hungry that they even wanted to eat pig feed, he couldn't help but feel sympathetic.
"How can this be? Zhen's words have always been of great weight!”Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, was too embarrassed to ask for money for free. He said," Lord Shang, give him some money.”
"Yes."
Right Prime Minister Shang Yang said from his sleeve.
He took out ten Qin half coins and handed them to the child.
In this day and age.
Qin Banqian's purchasing power.
It was still very high.
Not every transaction required gold to be exchanged. Gold was also an important strategic resource. Under normal circumstances, transactions were carried out with Qin Banqian.
For the children of Taoyuan Village, a bowl of pig feed could be exchanged for ten Qin and a half coins.
This could be considered a profit without a loss. He could buy a lot of snacks.
"Your Majesty, this-"
He looked at the bowl of sweet potato porridge.
As a long-term resident of Taoyuan Village, Ying Hong's expression instantly changed.
Outsiders might not know, but the people of the Seven Swords Organization knew that sweet potato porridge was only suitable for feeding pigs in Taoyuan Village.
After all.
The living environment in Taoyuan Village had improved a lot.
With the various high-yield seeds provided by the young master.
Sweet potatoes?
Not even dogs.
However, he couldn't possibly tell the Emperor that this sweet potato porridge was to be fed to pigs. With so many people watching, wouldn't he be making things difficult for the Emperor?
This was something that His Majesty had bought from someone else.
Therefore, in order to give face to His Majesty, Ying Hong could only beat around the bush and give him a vague reminder.
"What's wrong?"
"We've already prepared some local delicacies in the mansion, so this-"
"Zhen has said that there is no need to prepare too much food. That would be a waste of manpower and money. We only need ordinary food for the commoners.”
Facing Ying Hong's subtle reminder.
Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, obviously did not realize the meaning behind his words.
After receiving the fragrant sweet potato porridge, he secretly sighed in his heart that Che 'er's ability was not bad. He was actually able to let the commoners eat such good food.
In comparison.
Most of the people in Xianyang City lived.
It was far from being this good.
"But-"
Seeing the gaze that Leader Ying Hong gave him, Miracle Doctor Ying Dou also looked a little hesitant.
It couldn't be helped. The taste of the sweet potato was indeed not bad.
However, this was just pig feed in Taoyuan Village. Basically, the people were tired of eating it. If they gave it to His Majesty to eat, it would be a little inappropriate.
"What's wrong, Miracle Doctor?" " Could it be that this kind of food has an effect on my illness?" Qin Shihuang asked with some doubt.”
"No, no, no. That's not necessary. This is a kind of food with good nutrition.”Miracle Doctor Ying Dou shook his head and said.
However…
He quickly saw the look in Ying Hong's eyes.
This was a good opportunity to remind His Majesty not to eat it.
However, this kid actually wasted it.
Now, in a short period of time, how could he think of a way to protect His Majesty's reputation and stop His Majesty from eating?
"Since it doesn't affect you, then I won't be polite.”
Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng, immediately started eating.
At this moment, he had turned into a cooking machine. Half of the bowl of sweet potato porridge was instantly finished.
One had to know.
The appetite of domesticated pigs was not small.
Therefore, the wooden bowls they prepared were naturally the type that had a large volume.
Even so, the sweet and fragrant taste of the wine still made Emperor Qin Ying Zheng finish half of it. Then, he seemed to have remembered that there were still two elders of the three dynasties who had not eaten beside him.
Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, took out the remaining sweet potato porridge.
He handed it to the two of them.
"This thing tastes pretty good."
"The fragrance is pleasant, the taste is sweet, and it whets one's appetite.”
"I feel that I can eat at least three big bowls in a row.”
"Old General Bai and Lord Shang, please enjoy this dish with me.”
“........”
As the Emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty, Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, had eaten all kinds of delicacies.
He had also eaten a lot of delicacies from the Six Western Nations.
However…
These smells.
It was far less appetizing than this simple sweet potato porridge. It did not have that greasy feeling and instead gave people a fresh taste.
In the Great Qin Empire, people usually ate two meals a day.
There was only breakfast and dinner.
This was because the food production was not enough, so they had to eat less.
As for eating three meals a day, only wealthy families were qualified to enjoy it.
However…
In Taoyuan Village.
Almost everyone had three meals a day because there were too many high-yield grains to eat.
With Baiqi and Shang Yang's status, they naturally enjoyed the standard three meals a day. They had not eaten lunch until now, so they were already a little hungry. Seeing the sweet potato porridge that the Emperor handed over, they naturally did not stand on ceremony.
"Then this old master won't stand on ceremony."
"Thank you for the food, Your Majesty."
He looked at the two people who had joined the ranks of the hungry.
As the leader of the Seven Swords, Ying Hong felt that his back was covered in cold sweat.
It was over.
It was over.
Not only His Majesty, but even General Bai and Lord Shang had joined in the feast and were enjoying the food.
If he were to directly tell the truth, Ying Hong could already sense how awkward the situation would be.
No way, no way!
He absolutely could not let His Majesty and the others know.
The sweet potato porridge that they thought was delicious could only be eaten by pigs in Taoyuan Village!
