Chapter 124 Warming up the body and stomach
"Lord Liu, try this and analyze it from the perspective of Sinong Temple to see if it has any value for planting."
Emperor Yongping looked at the dish of chili peppers on Lin Fu's tray and was stunned at first, then motioned for him to take it to Liu Zhiyuan to taste.
He clearly only asked Lin Fu to take the chili peppers, so why did he also bring a bowl of snow?
"I obey your order."
Liu Zhiyuan did not notice the smile that Lin Fu could not help but smile on his face.
He reached out and took a chili pepper, then put it in his mouth and started chewing.
“Hiss…ha…”
After chewing it for just a few times, I felt a burning sensation in my mouth.
So in Yu's study, he didn't dare to spit out the chili in his mouth.
After finally swallowing it, he covered his mouth and started coughing.
Damn, this is such a disrespect in front of the temple.
As expected, you can't let your guard down once you enter the palace.
"Master Liu, quickly take a piece of snow and put it in your mouth."
Seeing how hard Liu Zhiyuan was enduring, Lin Fu quickly gestured to him to hold a sip of snow.
I have to say, tasting the eunuchs is a sign of experience.
Know that spiciness should be overcome with ice.
Otherwise, he would have bitten off his own tongue when trying the chili peppers.
"Hey, hiss...ha...ha, thank you...thank you, Manager Lin."
Liu Zhiyuan fanned his mouth with his hands and scooped a handful of snow from the bowl and stuffed it into his mouth.
The cool feeling of the snow in the mouth immediately offsets the spicy taste in the mouth.
After taking a few sips of snow, Liu Zhiyuan finally recovered.
Chu Qinshu lay in Emperor Yongping's arms, although she could not see Liu Zhiyuan.
But the hissing sound he made sounded spicy to her.
“Ahh.”
[Your Majesty, not everyone can eat chili peppers raw. They are more popular as seasonings.]
Chu Qinshu thought that the prescription she gave was not clear enough, and hurriedly reminded Emperor Yongping.
In her previous life, she had also watched videos of chili-eating competitions on the Internet.
She likes spicy food, but she is full of admiration for those who can eat peppers raw.
It is spicy and burns your heart. If you are not in good physical condition, it is best not to eat spicy food.
Otherwise, not only will your stomach suffer, but your anus will also suffer.
"Pour a cup of tea for Lord Lin Aiqing to rinse his mouth."
Emperor Yongping patted Chu Qinshu in his arms and said to Lin Fu.
Alas, who made Liu Zhiyuan an agricultural official?
How could he discover the value of the pepper without tasting it himself?
After all, breeding and teaching people how to plant in the future are the responsibilities of Sinong Temple.
The people don't have much land to begin with, and if even the Sinong Temple can't clearly explain the value of the crops, why would they be willing to plant them?
"I have failed to behave properly, Your Majesty, and I beg you to punish me."
Liu Zhiyuan had recovered from his shock and knelt down to apologize.
"Don't blame yourself, Liu Aiqing. This is how peppers taste. It's inevitable that you won't be used to it the first time you try it. Just try it a few more times and you'll be fine."
Emperor Yongping waved his hand, signaling him to stand up.
"Your Majesty, this pepper is so spicy, how can we eat it?"
Liu Zhiyuan was confused. How many more times should he eat it?
He almost died after eating just one, okay?
If he ate it a few more times, he was afraid that he would die in battle.
In ancient times, Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs, and when he tasted the herb that broke his intestines, his story has been passed down for centuries.
As an agricultural official, is he going to die from chili peppers?
So does he have to hurry up and grab a book?
"That's something you, the Minister of Agriculture, should think about."
Emperor Yongping had never tasted chili peppers, so he could not evaluate their value.
But he felt that there was nothing bad in what his granddaughter brought out.
If you really can't figure out what's good about it, it's probably because those officials are incompetent.
"Your Majesty, lunch has been delivered."
When Lin Fu saw the eunuch holding the food box standing outside the hall, he whispered in the ear of Emperor Yongping.
"Serve the food. Ask them to bring another portion over so that Liu Aiqing can have a taste as well."
Emperor Yongping often talks about the three-fresh rice noodles he ate last time.
If the sweet potatoes were not to be saved as seeds, he would have eaten a few more meals.
I don’t know what today’s hot and sour noodles taste like, whether it’s delicious or not.
After Lin Fu went out, he told the eunuch who served the meal to go to the dining room to get another portion, and then he returned to the hall with the food box.
Emperor Yongping smelled the overbearing aroma emanating from the food box and sat down next to the food table holding Chu Qinshu.
“Ahh.”
[Your Majesty, Shu'er is also hungry. Shu'er wants to drink milk. ]
It’s not that Chu Qinshu doesn’t want to stay in Emperor Yongping’s arms and have a few bites of hot and sour noodles, but she also knows her current strength.
That chili pepper is really not something a child of her age should be thinking about.
Those who know practical matters are heroes, so you won’t be made to cry later.
"Oh, it's time for Shu'er to drink milk. Your Majesty, please let Madam Yao hold Shu'er."
As soon as Emperor Yongping finished speaking, a eunuch ran to the side hall to call for Aunt Yao.
Chu Qinshu was taken away to be fed, and then Emperor Yongping took Kuaizi to eat.
Today's lunch includes a bowl of hot and sour noodles, two plates of refreshing side dishes, and a plate of snacks.
At first glance, this is a spicy-removing combination that Chef Yu came up with after tasting chili peppers.
"Hiss~"
Emperor Yongping couldn't wait to take a bite of the hot and sour noodles, which were both spicy and hot.
"Hiss~ha~"
I took another bite and felt a little better. It was fragrant.
After finishing a bowl of hot and sour noodles, Emperor Yongping still felt a little unsatisfied.
Compared with the three fresh noodles last time, the hot and sour noodles have a more layered taste.
It warms your body and stomach. After eating a bowl, you will feel warm from head to toe.
"My dear Liu, whether I can be free next year depends entirely on you."
After Emperor Yongping finished his meal, he planned to get up and move around.
Seeing that Liu Zhiyuan was sweating profusely while eating, he felt even more satisfied.
"I will never betray the emperor's trust."
When Liu Zhiyuan saw Emperor Yongping stand up, he did not dare to continue eating and hurriedly replied.
Alas, it’s already nervous to be with the emperor.
The hot and sour noodles made him even more nervous.
Not only is it spicy, it's also numb and hot.
He was sweating all over while eating.
But having said that, this hot and sour noodle is really delicious.
A bowl of this soup in winter not only fills you up but also warms your body.
And that chili pepper is indeed a very powerful seasoning.
If you find a chef to work on it, you can definitely make dishes with a hundred or eighty flavors.
In this way, peppers can be sold for money.
If they can earn money from farming, people will be willing to plant.
"Well, I gave you the new crops because I trust you. Eat your lunch quickly and don't waste it."
Emperor Yongping found it amusing to see that Liu Zhiyuan had eaten for a long time and still had half a bowl left.
Since he can't eat spicy food, let him eat it more often when he enters the palace in the future.
"Yes, I obey your order."
Liu Zhiyuan sat down again and continued to fight with the hot and sour noodles.
Emperor Yongping went to the side hall to look for Chu Qinshu.
There aren’t many peppers in that bunch, and I don’t know how much the harvest will be like if I grow these seeds.
Why not let Lin Fu first try planting a crop in Anren Palace?
Emperor Yongping thought as he walked.
