Chapter 227 Papaya



Li Dan twisted his small body and said to Xiao Yuehua, "Senior sister, my back is a little itchy too."

Xiao Yuehua handed the tickler in her hand to Li Dan and said, "Use it to scratch yourself. When the boat stops in the afternoon, you won't feel itchy after taking a bath."

Li Dan scratched his back with a tickler while standing by the boat looking around with a telescope. The winter in Lingnan was very interesting to Li Dan. There were large tracts of sugarcane groves, banana groves, orange groves, and many unfamiliar groves without fruit trees. They were all so novel.

Li Dan saw some small trees about three to five meters high, which were covered with large fruits. He was surprised and said, "Yeah, Senior Sister, look, is that a papaya over there?"

Xiao Yuehua took a look through the telescope and nodded, "It really is papaya. I didn't expect that there are so many fruits hanging on such a small tree. I can pick them even if I stand on the ground."

Li Dan nodded vigorously and said happily, "I can pick some too. The ones below are all red. I really want to run over and take a bite. The ones on the tree must be sweeter."

Xiao Yuehua agreed, "It must be sweeter. Daddy said that the papayas we eat are picked when they are green. Otherwise, they will go bad if sent to Yuzhou and Chang'an. We have to cook them before we can eat them. The ones that are red on the tree can be eaten raw."

If a person can ride a horse, and still gets seasick given the air quality of this era and good ventilation, it is basically a psychological effect.

Li Xian swallowed and frowned, "It's not good to eat those things, right?"

Xiao Yuehua nodded, opened another one, and said, "Just eat two pieces. We still need to eat later. Let's take a break after dinner, then eat a little more and bring some to eat on the boat tomorrow."

As soon as the boat docked in the afternoon, the little guys threw away their small vests full of bamboo tubes and ran off the boat, which frightened the eunuchs serving them.

Wang Zheng was too lazy to guess what Li Zhi meant by that, and said with a smile, "Indeed, this papaya looks quite delicious. Your Majesty, please try it."

Fang Numa smiled and said, "There are a lot of papaya trees from here. Although it's a little late in the season, there are still many papayas that have not been picked. Let's stop the boat later and have someone get some for you to taste."

Fang Zhao joked, "My junior brother's grandfather became an orphan when he was three or five years old due to a typhoon. He survived by himself by relying on the abundant fruits and vegetables in Lingnan, and he grew tall and strong."

"Okay." Li Dan nodded obediently.

Zhang Gou nodded and said, "Except for the days when it's windy and rainy, it's generally not too cold."

The little ones were used to being casual with Wang Zheng, and had already started eating and drinking. Since there were two portions of food, they were not afraid of making a mess. Xiao Yuehua directly brought over a big papaya, cut it into several pieces with a knife, and distributed it to everyone.

Li Xian sighed and said, "Lingnan is really great. Even in winter, there are such delicious fruits to eat. In addition, the climate here is warm. The people here should not have to worry about hunger and cold, right?"

And because of the hot weather here, there are a lot of snakes, insects, rats and ants. After Mr. came here, he killed snakes, insects, rats and ants on a large scale several times. For this reason, Mr. also developed many delicious and fresh dishes. "

Facing his senior brother's joke, Zhang Gou was not angry. He smiled foolishly and explained, "That's just luck. In fact, this place is not as good as imagined. After all, people can't live just for food.

Wang Zheng smiled and explained, "In fact, many things are often psychological problems. Soldiers who get seasick are usually anxious. Wearing this kind of buoyant vest will naturally make them feel more at ease."

As Li Zhi got off the boat, he smiled and said, "The chief steward always has many ways to solve problems. This vest with bamboo tubes hanging all over it is really useful."

Fang Zhao nodded and said, "I don't like those things either, but there is nothing we can do. There are too many of them in the wild. If we don't make use of them according to local conditions and encourage people to eat more, they will become a disaster.

When Li Zhi and Wang Zheng arrived at the big tent, the little guys were already a little impatient, but they still stood up and saluted obediently under the leadership of Li Xian. They took their seats only after Li Zhi and Wang Zheng sat down.

There were more than ten dishes on the table, including all kinds of delicacies from land and sea. There were two servings of each, one for Li Zhi and Wang Zheng, and one for the other little ones, so that the little ones could enjoy their meals more comfortably.

Li Zhi looked at the huge golden papaya on the table and smiled, "Haha, these things have to grow here to be considered top quality. Although the craftsmen in Yuzhou are great, they are still limited after all."

Li Dan took a big bite, his eyes lit up, and after he finished it in a few bites, he said to Xiao Yuehua: "Senior sister, it's really delicious, I want more."

Li Zhi was quite happy about this. In his heart, it was better for children to be a little wild.

It is not enough to rely on the imperial court to order the killing, the effect can only be significant if there is a benefit to induce it. In fact, the local people have the habit of eating big snakes. Sir, you are just popularizing various delicacies. "

"hey-hey."

At that time, some soldiers actually started vomiting as soon as they got on the boat. Under the influence of one person, it caused widespread seasickness. Wang Zheng immediately asked people to make bamboo tube life jackets, and then replaced a group of soldiers on board. The situation immediately improved a lot. Those who were really unable to bear the consequences had to be excluded from the itinerary.

The abundance of resources makes supply very convenient. As long as you calculate the itinerary well and send people to spend money to collect supplies along the way, you can make proper logistics arrangements for 10,000 or 20,000 people.

Xian'er and the others are enjoying a good life following the chief steward."

Wang Zheng thought for a moment and said with a smile, "A person can have two sides. You can be elegant and show it to others, but as for your own life, it's better to be free.

Besides, life should just go with the flow. A person should do what they should do at their age. There is nothing wrong with a child being more cheerful. Too many rules will not make one happy."

Li Zhi pondered for a moment and said, "But there still have to be rules."

Wang Zheng smiled and nodded in agreement, "Of course rules are necessary. In fact, as long as a person is slightly restrained, he will naturally understand the rules as he grows older. Even if he is an old country boy, he will not be able to be more cheerful if you ask him to be more cheerful."
