"Gulp!" Cheng Yaojin swallowed his saliva.
He imitated Qin Fang and picked up a piece of meat and put it in the pot to boil for a while. Then, he dipped it in some sauce and put it into his mouth.
Tsk tsk…
Delicious!
It was too delicious!
Cheng Yaojin finished a piece of meat, picked up another piece of meat, and started to cook it.
Ten people couldn't stand it when one person moved his mouth, but they could still tolerate Qin Fang's refined way of eating.
However, when he saw Cheng Yaojin eating one piece after another, he looked as if he had finished all the meat.
Li Shimin couldn't help but ask Wei Zheng, Yuchi Jingde, and Li Junxian to start eating.
The meat was smooth and slightly spicy. Coupled with the sauce that Xiao Die brought over, it was simply the best in the world!
"Young Master Qin, what meat is this? The meat was so delicious and even had a milky fragrance.”Li Shi Min sighed.
" This is beef. It's the one that Er Niu killed at the village entrance just now," Qin Fang said without any hesitation.
Err…
Beef!
Li Shimin thought to himself,"Damn, I've only eaten beef a few times!" If it wasn't for the fact that you saved the Emperor just now, I would have made you spend the new year in prison.”
Wei Zheng thought to himself," It's over. It's illegal in front of the emperor. But seeing how the emperor is eating so enthusiastically, he shouldn't punish Qin Langjun."”
Cheng Yaojin thought to himself," Beef hotpot is the best way to eat it. I used to eat all the beef in the dog's stomach. This won't do. I have to hang out with Qin Langjun more in the future. This beef hotpot is too fragrant."”
...
In ancient times, cows were precious. Even the land depended on cows. Without cows, the people could not cultivate and the food production would be damaged.
Therefore, the government demanded that the cattle be protected and that they were not allowed to be slaughtered at will. If they were to be slaughtered, they had to go to the government for records.
Li Shimin had issued an order forbidding the slaughter of cattle.
However, Qin Fang was not afraid. As long as the procedures were tight, there was nothing to be afraid of.
Besides, the county magistrate, registrar, and arresters of Jingyang County had all received Qin Fang's favor.
If it wasn't for Qin Fang's Qin Residence paying taxes seriously, the county magistrate would have to live on air these days.
In addition to Qin Fang's other small favors, the county magistrate turned a blind eye to Qin Fang's behavior. It was not a big deal.
"Old Li, how does the beef taste?”Qin Fang asked.
Li Shiming was slightly stunned. He wanted to stop eating. After all, he was surrounded by officials. It would be a bit embarrassing if he continued to eat the beef.
However, when he saw Cheng Yaojin wolfing down the food, he couldn't help but reach out his chopsticks again, pick up a piece, and put it into the pot.
"It smells…so good!"
Wei Zheng, who was at the side, was so shocked that his eyeballs almost fell out!
Was this still the serious Emperor Li Shi Min?
Who was the one who gave the order not to eat cows? Why did he feel like he had been slapped in the face?
In the year of the disaster, Li Shimin opened the official warehouse to relieve the victims.
The palace was even more frugal. Li Er took the lead and the harem only ate soup cakes and could not eat meat.
Because meat came from livestock, and feeding livestock required food.
Even the Emperor himself had not eaten meat for three months.
"What's this red thing?" Li Shimin picked up a chili and studied it carefully.
"Oh, that's chili. It can be eaten in cold weather to ward off the cold.”Qin Fang said casually.
Chili! This was the chili that Wei Zheng had told him about!
When Wei Zheng went back, he not only reported Qin Fang's magical ability, but he also reported the chili that made him cry.
Li Shiming stared at the chili for a while. He had really learned something!
This was the first time he had seen chili. Just a few of them could make the hotpot hot and spicy. After eating it, one would sweat. It was really a divine item. If every family in the Tang Empire had this kind of chili, would there be fewer people freezing to death in winter?
Thinking of this, Li Shiming couldn't help but say to Qin Fang,"Young Master Qin, I wonder if this chili can be grown in our Great Tang? Are the planting conditions harsh?"
Qin Fang said," These chilies are easy to grow. You just need to sow the seeds in the usual land. Be careful not to let them dry or drown. These chilies are easy to store. You just need to find a place to hang them after drying them.”
Li Shimin's eyes lit up when he heard Qin Fang say that chili peppers were suitable to be grown in the Great Tang. He was most worried about the special planting requirements for chili peppers.
Li Shi Min: " Young Master Qin, this chili is a divine item. I wonder if you can give me some seeds. I, Li Shi Min, am a businessman. I also want to make a small fortune with this chili."”
Qin Fang said," Old Li, you're treating me like an outsider. It's just some chili seeds. When you leave, you can ask Xiao Die to give you some. However, I have to remind you that these chili seeds are only enough for you to earn a wave of money. After all, if someone else gets these chili seeds, they can plant them. They won't earn much."”
The more Qin Fang said this, the happier Li Shiming became. After all, Li Shiming had never planned to rely on chili to make money. He planned to immediately start planting chili when he returned and strive to let every family in the Great Tang eat chili as soon as possible.
"Xiao Die, go to the greenhouse and pick up some vegetables.”Qin Fang said.
Xiao Die responded and went down to pick the vegetables.
Not long after, Xiao Die came in with a few plates of tender green vegetables and placed them in front of Qin Fang and Li Shimin.
"This…This is a vegetable!" Li Shi Min looked at the tender vegetables in front of him and couldn't help but exclaim.
It's already the middle of winter. Why would there be vegetables here?
"Oh, I planted that in a greenhouse.”
The seeds provided by the system for Qin Fang were highly adaptable, tasted good, and were especially easy to grow.
He just casually set up a greenhouse and did not need to manage it much. It would grow on its own.
Li Shimin was dumbfounded. What was a greenhouse? He didn't understand…
"Old Li, Old Wei, Old Cheng…I won't be polite with everyone.”
As he spoke, Qin Fang picked up a bean sprout with his chopsticks and put it into the hotpot.
"What is this white and shiny thing with long strips?”
Li Shiming looked at the bean sprout in front of Qin Fang, wondering what it was!
"This is called bean sprouts.”
Li Shimin and Cheng Yaojin picked up their chopsticks and put the bean sprouts into their mouths.
Heavens! This bean sprout was crispy and refreshing, bringing with it a refreshing feeling! Delicious!
"This bean sprout is too delicious! He didn't expect a small soybean to be so delicious!”Li Shi Min praised.
There were soybeans in the Tang Dynasty, but there were not many ways to eat them. They were basically cooked to satisfy their hunger. Moreover, soybeans were not easy to digest and did not taste very good.
The bean sprouts made from soybeans were not only delicious but also easy to digest. Li Shimin could not help but admire Qin Fang!
At this time, Xiao Die took out a plate of sliced watermelon.
"Old Li, Old Cheng, Old Wei…Try it. It's freshly picked.”Qin Fang said.
Li Shiming, Cheng Yaojin, Wei Zheng…They were like country bumpkins who had entered the city. Everything they saw was new and interesting!
They each picked up a piece and took a big bite.
The sweet juice and the incomparably fresh smell were simply amazing!
The two of them stared at the watermelons in their hands with wide eyes, unable to come back to their senses for a long time!
"What is this? Why is it so sweet!"
"This is watermelon. I grew it myself. It's a green food without any pollution.”
At that time, watermelons had not yet been introduced to the Great Tang, so Li Shimin had never seen or eaten watermelons!
Moreover, Qin Fang's watermelon was an improved version of the Kirin Watermelon. It was crisp, sweet, refreshing, and especially delicious.
Li Shi Min looked at Qin Fang in confusion. This hotpot was an eye-opener for them!
If he hadn't seen Qin Fang with his own eyes, he would have been dead.
Otherwise, they would definitely think that Qin Fang was a god who lived freely in the human world!
