In an instant, the smooth, chewy, soft and elastic taste lingers between the lips and teeth, and after careful chewing, the rich wheat aroma sweeps over the taste buds.
Ying Zheng's eyes lit up and he quickened his eating speed, but he still chewed slowly, his every move revealing the noble demeanor of a royal family.
Lord Luo standing by was feasting on the meal.
Chu Yuening's mouth twitched, and she couldn't help but sigh secretly.
It turns out that no one can escape the circle of Chinese cuisine!
Perhaps this is the foodie gene unique to the Chinese people.
However, after eating bland corn for so many days, she also felt that this bowl of carefully cooked knife-cut noodles was extremely delicious.
After a while.
The three of them finished eating, their bowls were clean, and there was a look of satisfaction on their faces.
Chu Yuening watched the First Emperor elegantly wipe the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and immediately began to reflect deeply.
How can I, as a woman, be less refined than men?
I'll buy a brocade handkerchief when I get home.
"Your Majesty, this stone mill must be promoted as soon as possible!"
Lord Luo has been deeply conquered by noodles, and he also wants the people of Daqin to be able to taste this delicacy as soon as possible.
"With the stone mill, people are willing to grow more wheat."
"The people of the world will understand your majesty's kindness, and our Great Qin will surely win the support of the people."
Chu Yue's eyes flickered as she echoed softly.
Nowadays, the lower-class people mostly eat wheat rice and soybeans. Not to mention the rough wheat rice, eating too much soybeans can easily cause bloating and discomfort.
The large-scale promotion of stone mills will help improve the quality of people's food and strengthen public cohesion.
"I will issue an edict at the court meeting tomorrow."
As an emperor, Ying Zheng naturally understood these principles.
The emergence of the stone mill could help him win the hearts of the people and consolidate his rule.
"Chu Qing has made great contributions. What reward do you want?"
Ying Zheng would not be stingy with Chu Yuening who gave him another surprise.
"I have two servants whom I consider my younger brothers and sisters. Could Your Majesty please pardon them and make them commoners?"
Chu Yuening gave the answer she had already thought of.
Ever since she bought the two of them, she had been thinking about finding an opportunity to escape from their slavery.
On the one hand, it was because there were many inconveniences in slave business, and on the other hand, she had already treated A Ye and A Hua as her younger brothers and sisters these days.
They were well-behaved, sensible, and grateful, and she couldn't bear to see them suffer discrimination and bullying because of their identities.
"Whatever Chu Qing asks for, I will do it."
Ying Zheng was a little surprised. He never thought that the woman in front of him was so kind and treated slaves equally.
He couldn't help but recall the days when he was held hostage in Zhao State.
To put it nicely, they were hostages, but in reality, they and their family were looked down upon by the Zhao people in the enemy country.
Especially after the Battle of Handan, the father abandoned his wife and children and fled back to Qin alone, and life became increasingly difficult for the two of them.
As a child, he suffered a lot of humiliation and beatings, and lived a life worse than that of a slave.
However, after he unified the country and gained absolute power, he repaid them double.
After discussing the matter of the stone mill, Chu Yuening said goodbye and went home.
When she told her brother and sister the good news, they hugged her and burst into tears.
Facing this kind of situation for the first time, Chu Yuening was a little at a loss.
what to do?
She has never coaxed a child!
After thinking about it, she had no choice but to pat the two of them gently on the back with her hands. After a while, the two finally stopped crying.
A Ye A Hua wiped her tears with her sleeves embarrassedly and made a promise seriously.
"Sister, Aye will repay you well and will never betray you."
"Ahua can do it too."
Children cannot use fancy words and can only express their gratitude in a clumsy and sincere way.
"I believe you."
Chu Yuening smiled brightly and said nothing more.
She knew that because of the shackles of their identities, the two of them must have suffered a lot of hardships and grievances.
Then they were free.
I will never be bullied or beaten again.
For the next few days, Chu Yuening traveled back and forth between her home and the palace.
While observing the growth of the seedlings, he recorded the changes on bamboo slips.
When sweet potatoes are promoted nationwide, these experiences can be used as reference for local agricultural officials.
Finally, on the fifth day, the tender purple seedlings had grown several inches tall and were ready to be transplanted.
Chu Yuening organized the eunuchs and palace maids to carefully cut off the tubers with seedlings one by one, and then put them into ceramic jars for preservation.
The last step is to transport it to the public fields outside the city for planting.
She first went to Zhangtai Palace to report the situation to His Majesty.
What surprised her was that the First Emperor also wanted to join in the fun. She originally wanted to ask Lord Luo to go with them.
But I didn't expect that Lord Luo wasn't here today...
Oh no, it seems she forgot to inform the old man yesterday.
Chu Yuening, who was in a difficult situation, had no choice but to ride in the same carriage with the First Emperor to the outskirts of the city.
The emperor's carriage was very luxurious and spacious, with many exquisite gold and silver ornaments inside.
The First Emperor opposite was carefully reviewing the bamboo slips.
Chu Yuening pretended to look out the window, but in fact she was stealing glances at the opposite side.
Wow, it turns out that men who work hard are the most handsome!
What's more, the First Emperor not only has a good appearance, but also has an outstanding temperament.
As expected of my charming ancestor~
Chu Yuening, who was obsessed with beauty, had not yet noticed that the emperor opposite had already shifted his gaze from the bamboo slips and was looking at her with a smile. His phoenix eyes looked particularly gentle at this moment.
"Chu Qing, what are you thinking about?"
"No... just... thinking about the next planting."
Chu Yuening was caught peeking and stammered as she made up an excuse.
She then quickly lowered her head to hide the blush on her face, but she didn't know that her fair neck was also covered with a blush of shyness.
