The two envoys turned pale. They were shocked that someone in the Qin Dynasty could speak such a standard barbarian language.
Then His Majesty must already know what was just said.
The Emperor of Qin must be looking at them with mockery at this moment.
The envoy from the Barbarian Country looked at the emperor sitting on the dragon throne, with thousands of expressions flashing through his mind. He would never bow to the Emperor of Qin.
After the hope passed, all the calculations in my mind came to an abrupt end.
this?
Why did the Emperor of Great Qin look at them without any mockery, nor did he seem to discriminate...
Why do you seem a little happy?
"I heard that most of you on the grasslands are carnivores, which is why you are so tall and mighty."
After he said this, all the officials' faces changed.
Why is Your Majesty praising the barbarians again? Is this a new brainwashing method Your Majesty has invented?
Only the Yang family members were still staring at the table.
Obviously, the barbarian envoys didn't buy it, but praising their height and might still made people happy.
"Your Majesty the Great Qin has foresight. We are both the most valiant and skilled warriors of the barbarian tribe, and we have even fought against General Yang before."
Their admiration and respect for Yang Yongsheng far exceeded that for Emperor Qin Yuanhao.
Among the officials, there are naturally some who would be happy to see this scene. It would be best if the Yang family could be disliked by His Majesty.
Unexpectedly, Qin Yuanhao nodded seriously, "The envoy is right. How fortunate it is for our Great Qin to have the Yang Family Generals."
"You two envoys have come a long way, thank you for your hard work. Now, serve the food!"
When the barbarian envoy heard this, he sat down immediately without showing any politeness.
Until a fragrance wafted to their noses.
"What's that smell? Why is it so fragrant?"
"It tastes like mutton. Could it be that His Majesty the Great Qin wants to feed us mutton?"
"How can the mutton here be as delicious as the one on our grassland? They are simply asking for trouble."
By the time the roasted lamb legs were served on the table, the two were so surprised that they were speechless.
The lamb leg was roasted to a golden color, and the oil on it even sizzled when it was just out of the pan.
In front of the lamb leg were five white porcelain bowls and plates, each containing some spices that they were not familiar with.
The two of them didn't know how to start for the first time.
[They must have felt bad for not being able to eat the lamb they were most familiar with.]
Let them enjoy it for a while so we can sell them things later.
Seeing that the Qin Emperor did not take any action, they also sat still.
Unexpectedly, after a while, someone came forward and brought them a plate of fresh vegetables.
The vegetables looked exceptionally fresh and tender, not at all like they had been taken out of an ice cellar, but as if they had just been picked from the ground.
Vegetables have always been a rarity on their grassland, let alone on such a cold day.
Seeing the two people's dazed looks, Qin Yuanhao picked up his chopsticks contentedly.
A piece of lettuce, a few shredded cucumbers and carrots, and two slices of lamb coated with cumin and pepper.
Finish with the secret chili sauce.
Wrap it up and put it in your mouth, and a great sense of satisfaction rushes to the tip of your tongue.
This is the most delicious way of eating that Qin Yuanhao has discovered recently.
After observing for a while, the two barbarian envoys also followed Emperor Qin Yuanhao's example and picked up the chopsticks and tried to arrange them.
After taking a bite, their eyes suddenly widened.
This taste is much more delicious than eating roasted lamb directly.
Qin Yuanhao was thinking about the cattle and sheep brought by the two men. If they were normal, then these barbarians were just trying to please the Great Qin.
That would definitely make a lot of money.
[At this time, the barbarians had not yet discovered these seasonings. They usually just roasted the sheep and ate them directly, not knowing that spreading honey on them would make them even more delicious.]
Let them enjoy it for a while, then we can sell their breeding cattle and sheep and bargain for a lower price.
[The cattle and sheep they brought this time were all new species carefully bred on the grassland.]
[The cattle grow fast, and their meat is much better than that of old oxen. Also, the sheep here are different from the sheep here, their meat is more tender. If we roasted lamb from the grassland, it would definitely taste better than what we have now.]
If we can acquire breeding cattle and sheep, we can start large-scale breeding. Then, won't we still have to worry about supplying beef and mutton rolls?
[At that time, we can even make hot pot with mutton and beef offal. ]
Qin Yuanhao was very satisfied when he looked at the two envoys. He even attracted everyone's attention because he smiled so happily.
The two messengers were puzzled.
No wonder His Majesty the Great Qin was so hospitable. Their arrival made him so happy. Thinking of this, coupled with the delicious food in their mouths, smiles appeared on the corners of their mouths.
[Oh, Emperor Dad, these two are having a blast eating.]
"Messengers, how do you like the taste? You can mix the seasonings as you like, depending on your taste."
"I heard that you brought a lot of cattle and sheep here today."
As soon as the two messengers heard about cattle and sheep, they understood.
As expected, once they entered Daqin, His Majesty the Emperor knew their whereabouts clearly.
Before they could say anything, some of the officials around Qin Yuanhao could no longer hold back.
The Minister of Revenue quickly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, we in the Great Qin have always been our own cattle and sheep."
The only things that can be shown on the grassland are cattle, sheep and horses. These barbarians did not bring horses, but brought cattle and sheep instead. It was obvious that they were just trying to please them.
If we buy their things, wouldn’t we be making a fool of ourselves in other countries?
I heard that there are so many cattle and sheep on their grassland that they can’t eat them all.
The Minister of Rites also hurried out and said, "Your Majesty, I've heard that the cattle and sheep on the grasslands taste terrible. Not only is the meat old, but it's also very greasy to eat."
"Your Majesty, why do you ask this question?"
The two envoys finished the last bite of vegetables and then looked at Qin Yuanhao sitting on the dragon throne.
"Your Majesty, this mutton is delicious, much better than the roasted mutton we have on the grasslands."
"If this sheep could be replaced with sheep from our grassland, I'm afraid it would taste even better."
The Minister of Revenue immediately jumped out and said, "Forget it! Everyone knows that you barbarians have the most cattle and sheep. All the tribute is cattle and sheep."
"Besides these, can you offer anything else that shows sincerity?"
"These cattle and sheep should go back to where they came from!"
Even if the treasury was full, he would not agree to use the money to buy these things.
Qin Yuanhao wanted to speak several times, but was interrupted by the Minister of Revenue's words, and he couldn't help feeling a little impatient.
Qin Zhenzhen twisted her body in his arms to make herself more comfortable, but she didn't stop complaining.
[Our Great Qin officials are truly too conceited.]
[People knew that the cattle and sheep were to be used as tribute, so they were specially trained to be better. You should know that the meat produced by one sheep is equivalent to that of two sheep in our Great Qin.]
[Not to mention the wool produced, which is more than three times more than the sheep in our own country. By then, the wool can be made into woolen clothes in large quantities, and the people of Daqin will be able to wear warm clothes.]
