Daqin: I was overheard by Zulong

Chapter 18 Starting with Potatoes

When Ying Zheng first saw the potatoes hanging under the potato seedlings, he was really shocked, because according to visual inspection, one potato is almost enough for an adult's meal.

That is to say, the five potatoes hanging from the seedling that Zhao Yi just pulled out are definitely enough for an ordinary family to eat three meals a day, so Ying Zheng was so shocked that he forgot to ask about other things.

Seeing that Zhao Yi was about to leave, Ying Zheng hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Yi'er, are all the potato seedlings you have here like this one in your hand?"

"Well, why did the emperor ask this?" Zhao Yi had a very casual expression, but his heart was already boiling.

[I knew what kind of behavior this was, and I couldn't wait to reveal my true nature with just one glance! 】

【what to do?what to do?If I told him that I deliberately tore off this seedling and at least half of the potatoes were still buried underneath, would he go crazy? 】

[You must remain calm, for the sake of a comfortable life in the future, use my small universe and give full play to my Oscar acting skills! 】

"Hiss..." Ying Zheng only heard half of Zhao Yi's heart, and couldn't help gasping.

This Nizi actually deliberately broke most of the seedlings in the ground, that is to say, this potato seedling has at least a dozen potatoes, so the output...

Ying Zheng calmly picked up a potato discarded by Zhao Yi, his expression changed instantly.

The potatoes he just picked up are at least one catty, and according to the array of potato seedlings in front of him, one mu of land can produce at least three thousand catties of potatoes, or even more!
Three thousand catties per mu!Gosh!Ying Zheng tried his best to suppress the ecstasy and excitement in his heart, tried his best not to change his tone, and then smiled at Zhao Yi almost word by word: "I am looking forward to the potatoes you cook!"

Zhao Yi inexplicably felt something bad for no reason, but he didn't know where it came from.

When he entered the kitchen, he ordered his servants to clean the dishes, prepared some side dishes and condiments, and lit the fire himself.

Ying Liman stayed loyally by Ying Zheng's side and gave a competent explanation.

"Father, look at the stove that brother Yi is lighting now. He also made it himself. It only needs a small amount of firewood, which is enough to cook meals for a dozen people."

"Brother Yi is using an iron pot that he and the blacksmith of Zhuangshang made together. It can be used to cook vegetables in your hand. Look, brother Yi is cooking, isn't he handsome? Wow, look, Father, Brother Yi turned the pot, it is my favorite tomato egg pancake..."

Amidst Ying Liman's yelling, it was hard for Ying Zheng not to notice Zhao Yi's every move.

In an era like the Qin Dynasty where chopsticks were not used for eating, what Zhao Yi used, whether it was a small stove, iron pan or spatula, was enough to attract Ying Zheng's attention.

After all, it was the first time he had seen someone cook like this, and it was just a few simple steps. The dishes, with all the colors, flavors, and flavors, were perfectly presented in front of Ying Zheng's eyes, which gave him a stronger visual impact.

But in fact, Zhao Yi only played 30.00% of his usual level at this time.

Because this meal was really frightening, and he couldn't stop his silly sister, he could only curse in his heart.

[My good sister, don't sell everything to me, your brother! 】

[Do you still want to eat something good?In case this old man takes a fancy to your brother and my possessions and takes away the whole set of kitchen utensils, who can I complain to? 】

Ying Zheng's face darkened instantly. In Zhao Yi's eyes, is he that kind of person?
But to be honest, Ying Zheng really thought about it, but later he thought that no one would use these novel gadgets unless Zhao Yi was brought to the palace as a cook, so he gave up.

Who would have thought that this rebellious son... Ying Zheng gritted his teeth and tried to control his emotions, because Zhao Yi had already started to fry potato shreds while continuing to slander himself.

【what to do?what to do?It’s not a good thing to be too good, and you almost can’t do it! 】

【If I see that the food cooked by the young master is so delicious, and the old man makes me the whole palace to be his cook, then I will be annoyed to death? 】

[Oh, it's so annoying, the dead girl blames you, and punishes you for not having something to eat tomorrow! 】

[Just make two dishes, and if you make more, the danger will be greater, and you must be on guard against old things! 】

What about this rebellious boy who guards against thieves?What do you think of yourself?The hands in Ying Zheng's sleeves began to change into claws again.

If it weren't for the delicious shredded pork and potatoes that just came out of the pan, Ying Zheng would have failed.

"Wow, long live brother Yi, it smells so good, I want to eat three big bowls of rice today!" Ying Liman couldn't control her hand, and was going to grab it directly into the food box.

Ying Zheng is also trying his best to control his emotions. If it weren't for his good concentration, he really wouldn't be able to resist the temptation of the delicious food in front of him!

Shredded Potato Pork, Tomato Egg Pancake, and Sliced ​​Cucumber, these three simple dishes have already made Yingzheng almost fail.

Fortunately, there were only three dishes. When the dishes were served, Ying Zheng and Ying Liman picked up their respective spoons and started eating.

Ying Zheng's eyes lit up as soon as he took a bite of potato shreds, and Ying Liman didn't even say a word, just went straight to work, and almost finished a big bowl of rice in the blink of an eye.

After Ying Zheng tasted every dish, he had to admit that the royal chef he plundered from the Six Kingdoms was just a child compared to Zhao Yi.

Over the past few days, he boasted that he had tasted all kinds of delicacies in the world, but after eating the three simple dishes made by Zhao Yi today, Ying Zheng felt that he was watching the sky from a well.

But he hasn't forgotten his new goal, and asked Zhao Yi cautiously: "Yi'er, the way to eat these potatoes is not only stir-fry like you do, but also deep-fried or grilled, etc."

With Ying Zheng's words, a warning sign rose in Zhao Yi's mind.

[What does the old man want, I know you're after Tudou, but I just don't answer, let's see what you say! 】

Hearing Zhao Yi's heart, Ying Zheng still smiled cheerfully: "Yi'er, you are now an important minister of my Great Qin, and it's time to do something for Great Qin, so let's start with this potato."

Zhao Yi put on a silly smile and said helplessly, "Father, I have little talent and little knowledge. I only know how to eat, drink, have fun, and be a general in trouble. I really can't bear it. Why don't you take back your orders?" Bar!"

"Nonsense!" Ying Zheng finally failed, but soon restrained his anger, "As my prince, how can I live a mediocre life with little talent and learning, not to mention that in my opinion, Yi'er, your ability is not as good as that of Chaozhong. Where are those ministers sent!"

Ying Zheng was able to tolerate Zhao Yi's arrangement of him in his heart, and it was so easy to get him to court, how could he just let him go?
Sure enough, when Zhao Yi heard Ying Zheng's words, his face instantly turned into a mournful face, and he didn't say any more.

Ying Zheng was still thinking about saying something, when he heard a series of slander popping into his head...
