Chapter 94: The 94th Day of Wanting to Die

But despite all the complaints, Kangxi still asked honestly, "What is chocolate?"

He knows everything about sweet potatoes and corn.

If corn is planted, it will occupy the land for wheat, which is somewhat uneconomical. Besides, corn is more troublesome to harvest than wheat, and cornmeal is also irritating to the throat.

If we put the corn in the hot pot as Xiaoliu said, that is also a way to eat it, but in that case it is even less worth growing.

There is almost no such demand among the people; ordinary people only care about something that can fill their stomachs.

According to Xiaoliu, sweet potatoes are also a good thing.

He had seen it in the reports of officials from Guangdong and Guangxi, but that thing would easily cause gas after eating, which would somewhat affect one's image.

So Kangxi didn't use it much.

But it is indeed full.

I don't know if this can be promoted in the north. Xiaoliu said before that rice can be planted in the south as long as a suitable planting season is chosen. Does this also apply to sweet potatoes?

At the same time, Kangxi also thought of the greenhouse.

But it's not appropriate, the greenhouse is not well calculated.

Ordinary people don’t even have a place to live, so how can they build greenhouses? It seems unrealistic.

"How?"

Kangxi put all these behind him and looked at the hard, black thing that looked like a broken kernel.

"Just like that, take out the seeds, smash them and then ..."

Yin Zhuo gestured and he certainly would not take action. Some palace servants had already heard what he said and went to put it into practice.

"Father, why are there no sweet potatoes in the palace?"

[I also want to eat roasted sweet potatoes, which are sweet and sticky. The roasted sweet potatoes sold at the gate of my university are expensive and not sweet. I miss the ones I bought at the gate of my high school.]

sweet potato?

Another name for sweet potato?

It was quite appropriate. He saw in the memorial that the sweet potatoes written on them were planted underground.

"If you want to eat it, you can grow it in Fengze Garden."

Kangxi was also tempted and wanted to taste the sweet and sticky sweet potato.

"Okay, plant them all in red soil. The red ones are sweet, and the white ones are good for making porridge."

Yin Zhuo licked his lips, feeling a little greedy.

Kangxi didn't understand these things, and he didn't dare to say anything now, otherwise it would seem that he was just like the time when he didn't know the price of eggs. To be honest, he didn't even notice whether the sweet potato he ate last time was red or white.

It turns out that sweet potatoes come in two colors.

It's quite magical.

"Eating too much sweet potato can cause gas."

Kangxi kindly reminded him, but Xiaoliu shook his head and said, "Eating, drinking, defecating and urinating are normal. If you don't fart, it will be a problem."

"You farted because your intestines and stomach are working hard. If you get constipated, you'll cry."

Yin Zhuo glanced at Kangxi's back with amusement, and Kangxi immediately raised his hips: "My stomach is fine."

What is this brat looking at?

Kangxi was a little annoyed.

"Okay, okay, okay. I think it's human nature to have a taste for food. Your Majesty, please don't hold back just because it's indecent."

[It's not easy to be an emperor. The daily records clearly record everything. You have to record who you talked to today. It's a pity that there is no surveillance now, otherwise I really have to keep it open 24 hours a day to observe how the emperor spends his day. It's a pity that I don't have a camera or a video camera, let alone a mobile phone or a computer. Otherwise, I can follow the emperor for a day and then transmit the data back to the present. It would be such precious research data.]

Yin Zhuo was still a little disappointed.

Kangxi: ...

Why didn't Xiaoliu just say to send himself back, so that he can see what the modern world that Xiaoliu went to looks like.

By then he will learn more knowledge and then come back to benefit the Qing Dynasty.

"Okay, when the chocolate is ready, give me half of it. And do you want this watch? If not, I'll take it away."

Kangxi’s previous one was worn out, and this time he happened to have a new one which he had originally intended to give to Xiaoliu, but seeing that he didn’t like it very much, he felt a little disappointed.

Yin Zhuo immediately put the pocket watch around his neck: "Yes, of course, the emperor gave it to me, how could I not like it."

Kangxi snorted, somewhat satisfied. As long as Xiaoliu liked it, that was good enough.

Yin Zhuo searched for a while and indeed found the perfume.

He saw soap again, but the texture of this soap was not as delicate as modern soap.

[Thanks to those modern short videos, I know how soap is made. I have to take advantage of this Longevity Festival to promote it. I think large-scale events like Longevity Festival are the best way to stimulate consumption.]

When Kangxi heard that it was related to consumption, he became interested.

"You want some soap?"

Kangxi felt that what Xiaoliu said was related to soap.

Yin Zhuo nodded, and then said: "Your Majesty, do you believe that I can make soap?"

Yin Zhuo said tentatively.

In Kangxi's eyes, he was like a little fox, quietly exploring the way forward with its claws.

Very cunning.

Kangxi: "Yes, I believe Xiaoliu can do anything."

He looked like a helpless adult doting on his own child, which made Yin Zhuo speechless.

The emperor is just being perfunctory.

"Okay, I'll bring you some fragrant shower gel and shampoo tonight, but Your Majesty needs me to pick someone."

[I am only responsible for talking, the rest will be done by the palace maids. And I am clumsy with my hands, so I might mess it up.]

Yin Zhuo yawned after he finished speaking: "I haven't taken my nap yet."

After talking with Kangxi for so long, he felt sleepy.

Kangxi put his arm around his shoulders and led him to the bedroom: "Just tell me what you want. When the chocolate and coffee come out, I'll keep them for you."

Yin Zhuo shook his head: "I don't drink coffee. If you are tired, you can use coffee to refresh yourself. Didn't you not sleep well last night? Coffee can make people wake up, but I don't know if you are used to it. If you are not used to it, your brain will be excited all night."

Kangxi finally understood that coffee was not for eating but for drinking.

He was feeling a little tired, so he took a rest and waited for the coffee to be ready before trying it.

Kangxi was not worried about poisoning or anything like that, as the entire Qing Palace was under his control. The powerful ministers who controlled him when he was young were also eliminated one by one by Kangxi.

Those foreigners who have no power and influence are even less courageous.

But when Kangxi thought about the foreigners a hundred years later, he couldn't help but grit his teeth. A dog that bites doesn't bark.

He just didn't believe that those foreigners didn't know how their own country had developed.

Kangxi took Yin Zhuo for a nap.

Yin Zhuo suddenly woke up in the middle of his sleep. He had just missed something and his eyes were all on the coffee and chocolate on it.

Now thinking back to what he saw, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Yin Zhuo got out of bed barefoot and ran quickly to Yu's study. Liang Jiugong, who was waiting outside the door, was stunned.

What happened to Sixth Prince?

The young eunuch was chasing him closely behind him, holding his shoes and clothes. He did not dare to shout loudly because the emperor was still taking a nap.

What if he wakes up the emperor? Will he still be alive?

Liang Jiugong also went over and lowered his voice and asked, "What's wrong?"

The Sixth Prince is always very neat and tidy, so why is he being disciplined now and coming out in his undergarments?

The young eunuch was also anxious: "Liang, please go find Doctor Zheng first. I suspect that the Sixth Prince is having a nightmare."

Otherwise, why would he throw off the quilt and run outside!

Liang Jiugong was also panicked and hurried to find someone: "Go and call Doctor Zheng over!"

The Sixth Prince really seemed to be in a nightmare, and he ran towards the study.

At the same time, Kangxi woke up. He saw the messy quilt beside him, and his sleepy head was still not able to turn around: "Xiaoliu?"

He didn't get enough rest last night. He just slept for a while, but he felt more and more sleepy the more he slept.

Now I can fall asleep just by closing my eyes.

Liang Jiugong saw Kangxi wake up and hurried in to help him dress. "Your Majesty, something is wrong. Just now, the Sixth Prince ran to the study barefoot, and the eunuch chased him with his shoes and clothes. I have also asked someone to call the imperial physician. Please go and take a look."

Kangxi became completely sober when he heard the previous part, and his face was full of seriousness: "Quick, help me get dressed."

What happened? Why did Xiaoliu run away without wearing shoes?

Liang Jiugong's hands were shaking as he served him in a hurry. Kangxi couldn't stand it anymore, so he took action himself and walked out of the bedroom wearing his outer robe.

"Someone come."

Kangxi strode forward, and Liang Jiugong followed to tidy up his clothes.

When he arrived at Yu's study, he saw the young eunuch bending over and persuading him something.

Xiaoliu was bending over to look for something.

When Kangxi got closer, he just happened to hear his inner voice.
