Section 262 From Mystery to Science(1/2)
An hour later, Zhang Yue brought the table of various desserts to the emperor with him.
Round and lusty dumplings, fried pieces of browned bread on both sides, and paired with more than a dozen hot pots.
These are the staple foods.
When the emperor saw it, he couldn't wait to raise his chopsticks, grab a dumpling, and put it in his mouth. The deliciousness in his memory lingered in his heart again. He closed his eyes and felt the rare delicacy, and praised: "The food you are in is so delicious that I can't linger..."
He smiled and said, "If you weren't a minister of the country and were burdened with the weight of Xinfeng, I really wanted to keep you by my side and make this delicacy for me every day!"
He was really not a joke. He even had a strong impulse to simply ask Zhang Yue to stay by his side and cook these delicacies for him every day.
As for Xinfeng’s affairs? Or other things?
There is always someone who can do it in the world.
Only Zhang Zizhong can make this delicious food that makes him feel happy.
What a pity...
He can't!
Because the lessons of Li Shaojun and the God King made him afraid of the mouse.
When he first met Li Shaojun, he was immediately shocked by the gods and welcomed him into the court, thinking that he was a guest of honor and asked me for me.
But this disciple of An Qisheng does not love palace life and only thinks about idle clouds and wild cranes.
He kept asking for it.
But it only stayed for more than ten years, and then suddenly one day, Li Shaojun's family came to report: Shaojun has returned to heaven!
He was shocked and went to check. As expected, all the Li family wore mourning clothes. After opening the coffin to check, he found that there was only an empty shroud in the coffin, and Li Shaojun's body disappeared.
There is no doubt that in his explanation, Shaojun has transformed into a flying immortal!
This made him very regretful.
After Li Shaojun, the alchemists he found were all liars and charlatans.
Until, he met the God again.
The God wants his money and his official position.
He just lives in the birthday palace he built for the gods, and likes to nag if he has something to do or not.
But what is amazing is that before he met the God, he was seriously ill and could hardly afford to sit on a bed. Not only did he recover from the God, but he even had few colds in those years.
This made him even more respectful to the God.
Unfortunately, the God only lived in the Birthday Palace for a few years, and then one day... it disappeared.
Only one dress was left behind, and he was left in the Birthday Palace.
This made him realize that the God King had become an immortal like Li Shaojun.
Now, I have encountered another suspected possible object.
And this one, the food he brought out,
He couldn't help but be careless.
What if this one has become an immortal and run away?
So, we can only try first.
Zhang Yue heard this, but was scared and sweated. He hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, my cooking skills can only be said to be average. The cooking methods of these delicacies are taught by the Baitou in my dreams, and wheat flour is the wheat seeds grown by my family..."
As he said that, Zhang Yue paused his head and said, "I hope Your Majesty will observe it clearly..."
Zhang Yue had no choice but to find such an excuse to explain the source of his wheat seeds and the source of food such as dumplings.
The emperor listened, but his eyes looked at Zhang Yue with a bright look.
Zhang Yue's explanation is half-believing and half-doubting.
He believed in the way of making dumplings and other things. In his opinion, Zhang Yue would not lie in this place.
And he also believed that his ancestor Emperor Gao was already a god.
Otherwise, how can we explain the abnormalities of the Queen Mother when she gave birth to him?
And Emperor Gao’s greatness is undoubtedly correct.
You should know that the founding emperor of the Han family had done the great cause of establishing the Emperor of Heaven (there were only four Emperors of Heaven in the Warring States Period, and they only became the Five Emperors in the Han Dynasty. The one added was the Black Emperor. It is said that Liu Bang ordered people to use his appearance to shape the statue of the Black Emperor).
But, did the wheat grow it yourself?
hehe……
He had checked it. Zhang Zizhong went to Ganquan Palace and clearly had never returned to Nanling.
And when Xinfeng came to take office, he never went back.
Since that is the case, he must have lied about this matter.
"Maybe there is a hidden secret?" the emperor thought to himself.
As soon as Zhang Yue looked at the posture, he knew that this Majesty had some doubts.
But what can he do?
Could you tell this Majesty: There is a secret realm in my head that can produce wheat and rice?
I'm afraid that if this Majesty does not kill his head to obtain the secret realm, there will be countless madmen to do this.
He is not so stupid yet!
He could only bite his teeth and said, "Your Majesty clearly, I am planning to promote my family's wheat seeds in Xinfeng to benefit the people..."
"Oh..." The emperor became interested when he heard this and asked, "But can all be so delicious?"
If this is the case, then I can eat it every day in the future?
Zhang Yue hurriedly said, "Report to Your Majesty, the wheat you planted in your family is to choose the best land, cultivate it myself, and take care of it carefully. Only a few acres per year, so it has a delicate taste and a long aftertaste. If it is planted on a large scale, I think the taste may be slightly inferior..."
"However, its output can be twice as high as its wheat!" Zhang Yue said this, patted his chest to make a guarantee.
But the emperor's attention was completely out of here.
Multiply of yield per mu?
Well, if it were other times, he might be particularly interested.
But now?
His attention was entirely on what Zhang Yue said, "planting himself and taking care of him carefully."
Although, he could vaguely guess that this matter might be false.
Because as far as he knows, Zhang Zizhong never went to the field, and Zhang did not plant wheat.
but……
In his mind, this has become a link with immortals and gods.
Since it is a method of immortality, he doesn't want to pursue it or he doesn't want to pursue it anymore.
As long as there is such a delicacy to eat.
So the emperor smiled and said, "Would you like to give up the wheat planted by more than ten Shi Qing and me?"
When Zhang Yue heard this, he felt a little headache, but he had no choice but to bow to him: "Since Your Majesty has his fate, how dare I not obey!"
In fact, my heart is already bleeding.
He knew very well that this Majesty would definitely be addicted to it.
Then... I probably have to supply a batch of wheat flour to Lao Liu's family every year.
Moreover, this number is probably indispensable.
It’s more than ten stones now, but it may be dozens or hundreds of stones in the future!
There is no way, the Liu clan group is particularly large.
Moreover, this emperor is famous for being generous!
In order to prevent himself from becoming a special farmer of the Liu family in the future, Zhang Yue had to bow to him: "Your Majesty, my wheat is carefully selected and selected. Only by watering it with the best mountain spring water can you produce it!"
"After a year, there are at most ten stones..." Zhang Yue lowered his head and said, "I have planned to keep all the savings I have planted in previous years as the seeds of Xinfeng land this year..."
"It's enough to get more than ten stones..." The emperor interrupted Zhang Yue and said with a smile: "I can't use it for everyone alone..."
He won’t share the food of the immortal with outsiders!
Moreover, after the affairs of Li Shaojun and the God, he probably understood the thoughts of those immortals.
That is, it is easy to easily not have too much connection with people in the secular world, nor do it want to have too much connection with people in the secular world.
When Zhang Yue heard this, he felt relieved.
He can easily supply ten stones a year.
So he immediately bowed: "I am obeying the order!"
To be continued...
