Half an hour later, Yun Zheng's popcorn was freshly baked.
It was Yun Zheng’s first time making popcorn, and the variety of corn didn’t seem very suitable for making popcorn, so the final product was not very successful.
But even so, the popcorn he made was snatched away by these naughty kids.
For children who tasted popcorn for the first time, it was even more delicious than any other delicacies.
The adults just had a taste and the rest was given to the kids.
Fortunately, there are adults like Yun Zheng here to keep the peace, otherwise these kids would definitely fight over popcorn.
Looking at the innocent smiles on the faces of these kids as they ate popcorn, Yun Zheng and the others also smiled.
Although they are sometimes annoyed by these naughty kids, looking at their innocent smiles makes them feel healed.
"Father, I want some more popcorn..."
As the popcorn was eaten up, Yun Cang was instigated by some older children to run to Yun Zheng to ask for more popcorn.
...
...
Yun Zheng smiled and rubbed Yun Cang's head: "Then you guys be good and don't bully your brothers and sisters. Father will have someone make popcorn for you later."
"Uh-huh!"
Yun Cang nodded and ran away happily.
“You know so many things!”
Jia Yao looked over and said, "If you sell this popcorn in the Imperial City at one or two taels of silver per pound, I guess there will be a lot of people rushing to buy it."
Although the yield of this corn is not high, Yun Zheng seems to have found the correct way to eat it.
An acre of corn is definitely worth much more than growing corn or other crops.
Listening to Jia Yao's words, Yun Zheng and Zhang Xu looked at him speechlessly at the same time.
"One tael of silver per catty, who are you looking down on?" Zhang Xu said with a smile: "If I really take this to the imperial city to sell, it will have to sell for at least thirty or fifty taels of silver per catty, right?"
"Thirty... fifty taels of silver?"
Jia Yao's face was slightly gloomy, "You are such a profiteer!"
"You're not right." Yun Zheng shook his head and said confidently, "Oil is free? Sugar is not expensive?"
If this thing were really sold, it would definitely be a food for the nobility!
Scarcity makes things valuable!
If it is sold too cheaply, those rich and powerful people might think it is not up to standard!
Jia Yao opened his mouth slightly, and after a long while, he gave the two of them a thumbs up: "You two are really... a match made in heaven!"
“No, no.”
Zhang Xu shook his head and chuckled, "You and His Highness are a match made in heaven!"
The boomerang hit her, causing Jiayao's face to turn slightly red.
However, Jia Yao did not avoid the topic. Instead, he nodded in agreement, "He and I are a match made in heaven! But, we are enemies made in heaven!"
"Good enemies!"
Qin Qihu grinned, "Only those with affection and loyalty can become enemies. Otherwise, they are not enemies, but enemies!"
As Qin Qihu finished speaking, several people nodded.
However, they soon realized something was wrong and all looked at Qin Qihu in shock.
Yun Zheng was even more astonished and almost scratched Qin Qihu's face to see if it was someone wearing a human skin mask disguised as Qin Qihu.
"You guys...what's wrong?"
Qin Qihu looked at them with a puzzled expression, "Did I say something wrong?"
“That’s right!”
Yu Shizhong laughed out loud, "Not only is it correct, it's absolutely right!"
Zhang Xu and Yun Zheng also nodded.
"ah?"
Qin Qihu, "Then why are you all staring at me? Is there something on my face?"
Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled, "We didn't expect you to say such philosophical words!"
If those words had been said by someone else, they would have thought it was nothing.
But when such philosophical words came out of the mouth of Qin Qihu, this idiot, it was like the sun rising from the west.
"Look at you!"
After finding out the reason, Qin Qihu was immediately unhappy, and said with his nose in the air: "After all, I studied in the Imperial College, so can't I say something philosophical?"
Yun Zheng laughed dumbly and jokingly said, "You studied in the Imperial College? With your temper, didn't you beat up the teachers in the Imperial College?"
"You guessed it right!"
Qin Qihu chuckled, "That bunch of corrupt scholars in the Imperial College kept talking nonsense all day long. When I couldn't answer a question, he even wanted to hit my palm. I kicked him down on the spot! Then, I was beaten up by my father and kicked out of the Imperial College..."
“…”
After listening to Qin Qihu's words, several people's faces twitched.
He is a real tiger!
He dares to hit the teacher from the Imperial College?
…
In the evening, the palace prepared a sumptuous dinner.
In addition to some main dishes, there are also several dishes that are served on the table for the first time.
Pumpkin soup, pumpkin pie and pumpkin steamed egg.
These are all pumpkins harvested in Shuobei.
Because they need to be saved for seeds, pumpkins are harvested relatively late, when they are very yellow. It is not suitable to use them for cooking, so Yun Zheng asked someone to prepare these dishes.
The main reason is that he only knows these few methods.
In addition, there is chicken cooked with small potato eggs the size of quail eggs.
As for the big potatoes, they are definitely saved for seeds.
Everyone in the mansion today was an acquaintance, and no one was too particular. Yun Zheng, the head of the family, said a few simple words, and everyone started eating and drinking.
"This pumpkin is so sweet and glutinous, so delicious!"
"If this is sold on the market, it will definitely be very popular!"
"These potatoes are delicious too, try them all..."
Pumpkin and potatoes are popular.
The chickens, ducks, fish and meat have hardly been touched, but the pumpkins and potatoes are almost eaten up.
The children next to them were also eating voraciously. If you didn’t know better, you would think they were not full!
Jiayao savored the flavor of the pumpkin carefully.
She didn't think the pumpkin was delicious, but the pumpkin had a sweet taste, and since it was everyone's first time eating pumpkin, they would definitely think it tasted good.
After they have been eating it for a while, they will definitely not think it is so delicious anymore.
Thinking about the yield of pumpkins and potatoes, Jia Yao was hesitant to speak several times.
never mind!
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Don’t talk about those things with Yun Zheng, so as not to ruin his and everyone else’s mood.
Anyway, we have been in Shuofang for such a long time, so there is no need to rush.
Thinking of this, Jia Yao no longer thought about the national affairs and frequently raised his glass with everyone.
In the past, people would exercise restraint even when drinking.
Everyone was in a good mood today, and since we were not in the army, we drank a lot and indulged ourselves a lot.
Unconsciously, Yun Zheng was drunk, but Qin Qihu, the beast, still hugged Yun Zheng's shoulders, and shouted with a dazed look in his eyes: "Cheers... Cheers!"
Yun Zheng drank the wine in a daze. Qin Qihu grinned, "My dear brother, you have a big appetite! It's rare that you are so happy today. Let me show you a set of boxing to cheer you up..."
"well!"
Zhang Xu was the first to cheer.
Seeing that Qin Qihu was drunk, Li hurried forward to support Qin Qihu, "Almost done, I'll take you back home to rest first! Don't embarrass yourself in front of everyone..."
“No…don’t!”
Qin Qihu refused, "We haven't...drank enough yet! I still need to cheer up my brothers and them..."
Having said that, Qin Qihu walked out unsteadily despite Li's attempts to stop him...
