Emperor Dewu found a fine brocade box and put away the papers written by Yuchi Xi.
The eunuch took a quick glance and thought: Oh, whose idea was this? And the emperor kept it like this. Wouldn't he get promoted and make a fortune?
The eunuch was envious.
I thought: I wish the emperor would accept the ideas I wrote!
The next day, as soon as he entered the court, Emperor Dewu told Yuchi Xi about his idea. "I think this method is good. I have asked someone to implement it. If it is feasible, I will give you a reward."
"In addition, this person also mentioned that potatoes can be eaten as a staple food, and he also wrote down how to cook potatoes. Also, there's something called sweet potatoes in Xiliang Country, which can also be eaten as a staple food."
Yuchi Xi was held in the arms of Emperor Dewu and was in a very happy mood.
[Hehe, my idea was requisitioned by Daddy. Daddy is so smart! He saw at a glance that my idea was useful!]
Emperor Dewu: Proud!
Of course, he could recognize Xier's handwriting!
He is Xier’s favorite father!
"Can potatoes be eaten?"
The ministers were all in disbelief, "Your Majesty, who is this person?"
"Your Majesty, please don't be deceived!"
"That's right, I've never heard that potatoes like those are edible. They're as hard as rocks. I think the person who suggested eating potatoes is trying to choke us to death!"
"Your Majesty, this matter must be thoroughly investigated, but don't believe that man's words about eating raw potatoes!"
What if the emperor gets hurt? What will happen to the Yuan Kingdom?
"As for the sweet potatoes from Xiliang Kingdom, I think we can go buy some!"
"You can just steal their seeds secretly..."
Yuchi Xi:?
"Why are you eating potatoes raw? The potatoes would cry out in injustice if they heard that! Can't you just slice, shred, or dice them and cook them before eating?"
Emperor Dewu: Exactly! Look how smart our Xi'er is! You guys just don't use your brains!
"The person who submitted this idea..."
Emperor Dewu glanced at Yuchi Xi from the corner of his eye, and Yuchi Xi's heart suddenly became nervous.
[Dad! You probably didn't know it was me! I was so disguised!]
"It was the idea proposed by the person who said 'I am a spirited peach tree.'"
[Hahahaha, my dad doesn't know it's me! ]
Emperor Dewu's eyes were full of doting, Xier, I have known this for a long time.
Ministers: ???
no.
Your Majesty, are you kidding us?
Am I a peach tree that has become a spirit?
ha? ?
Who is this!
Would anyone really change their name to this?
Doesn't she want to take credit at all? !
No, the idea of posting with such a name is obviously fake!
It's obvious that they sent it anonymously because they didn't want to take responsibility!
"Your Majesty...this...um, is this just a joke from someone else?"
A minister couldn't help but speak.
"It's the peach tree outside the imperial kitchen, the idea of delivery."
Emperor Dewu said calmly, "It's true."
The ministers, "???"
What the hell?
Could it be that the peach tree really has become a spirit?!
No, Your Majesty, please don’t say that so calmly!
It makes us feel that this peach tree has really become a spirit and is here to write down our ideas and submit them!
The ministers looked at each other and fell silent.
Is the emperor crazy?
It's still a demon barrier!
How could you believe such words?
The peach tree has become a spirit? Ha! I even said my dog has become a spirit!
Some ministers thought so in their hearts, but no one dared to say it out loud.
Nothing else, just fear of death.
In this silence, a palace maid came in carrying dishes.
Ministers: ???
What's going on?
Why do we have meals when we go to court?
Last meal before execution?
No way?
Is the emperor going to kill them all at once?
This food is not poisonous!
After all, it has never been mentioned before that ministers would be provided with meals during court sessions!
The ministers took the dishes, but no one dared to pick up their chopsticks.
No one dared to eat first.
You look at me, I look at you, both signaling with our eyes, "Hey! Brother, you eat first!"
"Ah, no, no, no, brother, you go first. The emperor is always so kind to you, he will definitely not harm you."
Seeing that they were not eating, Emperor Dewu took the lead in picking up a handful of shredded potatoes with chopsticks and putting them into his mouth. The sour and spicy shredded potatoes were crisp and delicious in his mouth.
Emperor Dewu narrowed his eyes and said, "Not bad!"
Ministers:?!
The emperor has eaten it, how dare they not eat it?!
The ministers all looked miserable, as if they were drinking a beheading wine. They picked up a chopstick, tilted their heads back, put it in their mouths, chewed it twice, and swallowed it immediately.
Woohoo, I hope death isn’t too painful.
Um?
Why does it taste a bit delicious?
After the ministers took a bite, they all had surprised expressions on their faces.
Not sure, try again.
The ministers immediately picked up another piece with chopsticks and put it in their mouths. It tasted really good!
They picked up the potato rice from the plate and took a bite. Suddenly their eyes lit up. They were no longer afraid that this was their last meal, and they ate very quickly.
Emperor Dewu nodded with satisfaction.
He asked the imperial chef to make this based on the recipe Xier sent him.
That must be delicious!
Even if it doesn’t taste good, they have to eat it!
Otherwise, no one can leave this throne room!
"Your Majesty, what is this made of? It tastes really good!"
All the ministers praised him highly.
Emperor Dewu raised his eyebrows and said proudly, "This is potato!"
"Ah?" The ministers were stunned.
Is this a potato?
Are potatoes so delicious?
