"Sister Yuan, tomatoes are not the most delicious when eaten raw. I will cook you a delicious dish! Scrambled eggs with tomatoes!"

Half an hour later, in the kitchen of the Du Mansion, Li Kuan finally prepared the dish after a busy period.

"Ugh...Brother-in-law...this doesn't taste good..."

Xiao Yanyan was very impatient. She stretched out her chopsticks, picked up some tomatoes and eggs and stuffed them into her mouth, but she spit them out the next second.

"How could that be? Let me try...Pfft."

Li Kuan frowned slightly. It was the same method as in his previous life, and he used such good big tomatoes. How could the taste be bad?
He didn't believe it, so he picked up a little and put it into his mouth. The result was the same as Xiao Yanyan's reaction.

The first bite of it tasted sweet and sour from the tomatoes. It was originally an excellent dish, but the fishy smell of the eggs was extremely abrupt! It was like a rat dropping mixed into a pot of good porridge, and the taste instantly became extremely strange!
"There's nothing wrong with the tomatoes... it's the eggs that have problems... but I've already used the best eggs in the mansion..."

Li Kuan took another bite and spoke after a while.

"Eggs? Brother-in-law... I know where to find good eggs! When Old Fairy Cheng came to your house a few days ago, he was showing off his silky-feathered black-bone chicken! I heard that the eggs from that chicken taste great!"

"Really?"

Another half an hour later, on the other side of Yanyun City, at Cheng Yaojin's mansion, Li Kuan and Xiao Yanyan entered Cheng's mansion and went straight to his backyard.

"Brother-in-law! Look! The chicken is there! There are eggs! Why don't we..."

There was a glimmer of cunning in little Yanyan's eyes, and she was obviously eyeing the eggs of old demon Cheng!
"Cough cough."

But before the two men could make any move, a voice came from behind them. It was naturally the old demon Cheng who came after hearing the news.

"Haha... General Cheng, your chickens are so handsome..."

Li Kuan saw the vigilance on Old Demon Cheng's face and smiled awkwardly.

"What? Are you after my chicken? This is a Silky-bone chicken! Look at its feathers, how white! Look at its body, how black!"

Old Demon Cheng said with some pride, but his body unconsciously blocked the two men.

"Uncle Cheng, we don't want your chicken. We just need a few eggs...Brother-in-law has made some new ingredients! Let's make something delicious! Can you give us a few eggs?"

Little Yanyan used her cuteness to walk up to old goblin Cheng, shaking his hand and acting coquettishly.

"Huh? New ingredients? Making delicious food? No way!"

In front of the loli, the old demon Cheng remained unmoved.

"You have your share of delicious food!"

Li Kuan coughed lightly and said lightly.

"Good! Deal!"

After taking the eggs from the silk-feathered black-bone chicken, Li Kuan and Xiao Yanyan returned to the Du Mansion, followed closely by the old demon Cheng.

That night,

The Du Mansion was brightly lit under the dark night!

Grandpa Du, Du Ruyan, Li Jing and others have already taken their seats, and there is also old goblin Cheng who is eating for free.

"Tomato scrambled eggs, here we go!"

As everyone was anxiously waiting, Li Kuan, who had been tinkering in the kitchen for a long time, finally brought a large plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes to the table.

After Li Kuan took his seat, everyone couldn't wait any longer and picked up their chopsticks to reach for the big plate in the middle.

“Wow… so hot… so hot… so delicious…”

Xiao Yanyan rushed to pick it up and put it in her mouth, but the freshly-made dish was too hot and burned her badly!

But at the same time, the taste exploded in her little mouth, constantly hitting her taste buds!

The sweetness of tomatoes and the fragrance of eggs blend together perfectly!

It is indeed a rare delicacy in the world!
Wonderful!

"Brother-in-law... why is it gone... I still want to eat..."

After a while, the big plate in the middle was already empty. Xiao Yanyan scooped up the last bit of juice, and after licking it, she felt a little unsatisfied. She pouted her little mouth and said to Li Kuan beside her.

…………

The next day, in the Imperial Palace, Ganlu Hall.

"Master Guo, hehe! It is said that His Majesty has come up with a new variety. I wonder if it is the potato-like thing from last time..."

After reporting some political affairs to Guo Shoujing, Eunuch Cao told him the news he had obtained from Cheng Yaojin.

"What? A new species? Is it as auspicious as potatoes?"

Guo Shoujing's eyes, which seemed a little tired from handling government affairs, suddenly came alive and his expression became somewhat excited.

The last time Your Majesty invented potatoes, the yield of such a grain crop left Guo Shoujing astounded!
This will not only allow the people of Yanyun City to have enough food, but also reduce the worries of people all over the world about famine!
Take the locust plague this time for example. As long as they transport the potatoes they produce to the disaster area and distribute them to the victims, the so-called disaster will disappear in an instant!
If at this time, there is another high-yield and easy-to-cultivate food crop, it will be a new great auspicious sign for Da Yan.

The imperial court will definitely benefit the people because of this and leave a significant mark in history!
"I am not sure about this, sir... I just heard that it is a new species."

This matter was quite important, and Eunuch Cao did not dare to nod rashly.

"Let's go! Let's go to the Du Mansion and find out what's going on!"

Guo Shoujing was a little overwhelmed. The potatoes last time had already given him a great surprise. If there was one more thing, he would be grinning from ear to ear!
"Master Guo! There are officials from the prefectures and counties near Gyeonggi-do outside the door asking to see you!"

Just as the two were about to move to Du Mansion to question Li Kuan, an eunuch walked in.

"Hmm? Just say I'm a little tired today! Let him come again tomorrow..."

Guo Shoujing was so focused on the "new auspicious sign" that he had no time to think about anything else.

"Master Guo... the person who came was very urgent... he said he must see Master Guo..."

When the eunuch saw Guo Shoujing, he was about to take a step forward and spoke quickly.

"Hmm? Okay...let him in..."

Guo Shoujing was unhappy, but when he saw that the eunuch did not seem to be joking, he sat back on the dragon throne.

"Master Guo..."

A moment later, the official outside the door knelt down on the ground as soon as he entered.

"If you have something to say, tell me now!"

Guo Shoujing waved his hand, signaling him to stand up.

"Master Guo..."

Seeing this, the visitor did not dare to neglect and began to explain his purpose.

It turns out that the counties and cities near Gyeonggi Province are facing a locust plague, and spies from various countries are taking advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos and mislead the people!

The people were in a panic! Every household was stockpiling food!
What's worse, under the instigation of some people with ulterior motives, they burned, killed and looted!

Suddenly, the situation in the prefectures and counties near Gyeonggi Province was in turmoil! Officials were helpless and could only look up to Guo Shoujing to solve the disaster.

After listening to the visitor's narration, Guo Shoujing couldn't help but frown. Originally, he and Li Kuan and others planned to ignore the locust plague in Gyeonggi Province for the time being and let the lower prefectures and counties solve it themselves, so as to lure the snake out of its hole.

Unexpectedly, the forces that infiltrated from the enemy countries began to take action so quickly, which directly threw the officials below into disarray!
Although Guo Shoujing did not think that these people could cause any big trouble, if he still turned a blind eye, the smart people in the enemy country would definitely notice something and take precautions, which would not be a good thing for their plan!
"Okay...you go down first."

Guo Shoujing waved his hand and asked the official below to step down.

"But Lord Guo..." The man wanted to say something, but when he thought that Guo Shoujing's order could not be disobeyed, he quickly shut his mouth.

"Someone come! Tell the Duke of Liang..."

Not long after, Heshen and others, who had been summoned, hurried to the palace to discuss matters.

"How do you think we should deal with this?"

At this moment, Guo Shoujing looked a little embarrassed.

"Master Guo, I think this matter cannot be ignored! We should send officials from the imperial court to stabilize the local disaster situation so as not to arouse the suspicion of the enemy country."

After pondering for a moment, Heshen stepped out, bowed to Guo Shoujing, and said.

"Master Guo, I also think that we should do so. We should send an imperial envoy to the disaster area to let the enemy think that we attach great importance to this matter and create the illusion that we are overwhelmed by this matter..."

On the other side, Chen Qingzhi followed closely and stepped forward, bowing and speaking to Guo Shoujing.

"Then according to you, who should be sent this time?"

Guo Shoujing nodded slightly. As the saying goes, those who are involved are often confused and overwhelmed. At this time, he also saw the other key points clearly.

"Master Guo, we should send important officials to let the enemy see our importance..."

Chen Qingzhi continued to speak, but his tone was hesitant.

"Lord Guo, I am willing to go and share the worries of His Majesty and the world..."

After a moment of silence, Heshen stood up.

"That"

Guo Shoujing nodded slightly upon hearing this and was about to settle the matter, but eunuch Cao, who had not left and had not interrupted for a long time, spoke.

"Master Guo, I think the best candidate for this trip is His Majesty. He has a very high prestige among the people and is easy to deal with! Moreover, His Majesty's character is indeed capable of handling this important task..."

Eunuch Cao should not have interrupted the powerful ministers in a meeting, but the image of His Majesty Li Kuan suddenly popped up in his mind, and he stepped forward to speak for himself.

"Oh? Your Majesty? What do you think?"

Although Guo Shoujing had made up his mind, he still looked at the other people.

"If it is Your Majesty, then, I can certainly do it!"

Heshen and others looked at each other, and then spoke in unison.

"Okay! Let's do as Eunuch Cao said! We will go ask His Majesty. If His Majesty agrees, we will let His Majesty be the Imperial Envoy for Disaster Relief in Gyeonggi Province! Go to the disaster area to inspect and comfort the people!"

Guo Shoujing clapped his hands and finalized the matter.

……

Du Mansion, backyard.

"Ah, shout—"

"Who is scolding me again?"

Li Kuan, who was lying in the rocking chair, suddenly sneezed.

"Xiao Yanyan! Are you the one who said bad things about me behind my back?"

Li Kuan looked at Xiao Yanyan who was chasing a butterfly not far away and asked with a unfriendly look on his face.

"Hmph! You stinky brother-in-law! You scared all my butterflies away! I don't have time to scold you!"

Li Kuan's words immediately startled the fluttering butterfly. Little Yanyan watched her beloved butterfly fly away, and she stomped her feet in anger and glared at Li Qiu.

"Isn't it just a small butterfly? If it flies away, it will fly away."

Li Kuan seemed not to hear the resentment in Xiao Yanyan's words and continued speaking.

"Humph! Damn brother-in-law! Big bad guy! I curse you to eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes and the eggs will turn rotten!"

Xiao Yanyan glared at him with some resentment, then turned around and left with a lot of resentment, obviously going to find Grandpa Du to complain.

"Ouch - it hurts so much..."
But before she had walked out for long, little Yanyan's head bumped into a solid figure, causing her to scream in pain.

"Who is it? Believe it or not, I will beat you up... No! I will let my brother-in-law beat you up! He is His Majesty!"

Originally, Xiao Yanyan wanted to rely on her status as the second young lady of the Du family to teach the visitor a lesson.

But when a suit of armor came into view, Xiao Yanyan reacted immediately and pulled Li Kuan out and threatened him.

"Xiao Yanyan, what's wrong with you? Did someone provoke you?"

Eunuch Cao, who was dressed in military uniform, became very gentle in his voice when he saw her pouting and angry look.

"Ah? It's Uncle Cao? It's all because of my stinky brother-in-law! He bullies me all day long! It's him! Can you teach him a lesson for me?"

Little Yanyan raised her head and found that the person coming was Eunuch Cao. The bitterness in her stomach seemed to have found an outlet and came out all at once. She pulled Eunuch Cao's big hand and acted coquettishly.

"Uh... well... I can't beat him either."

Eunuch Cao smiled awkwardly. He wanted to teach Li Kuan a lesson, but his strength and status did not allow it.

Let him teach Li Kuan a lesson? Isn't this courting death? Not being taught a lesson is good enough!
"Eh? Isn't this Lord Guo? Are you here to look for my brother-in-law again?"

Xiao Yanyan suddenly saw the man next to Eunuch Cao, it was Guo Shoujing!

"Ahem..."

"His Majesty."

Li Kuan, who was sitting on the rocking chair, seemed to have not noticed the arrival of the two people. He was sitting with his legs crossed, looking very comfortable with a big sunflower fan covering his face.

Guo Shoujing couldn't bear it and coughed a few times to attract Li Kuan's attention.

"Hmm? Sister Yan? Didn't you leave? Why are you back? Are you here to apologize to me? Don't think I will forgive you if you admit your mistake..."

Li Kuan did not stand up, but just slightly adjusted his position to make himself more comfortable, which made Eunuch Cao beside him ashamed.

"Your Majesty, it's Lord Guo who has arrived."

Eunuch Cao couldn't stand it anymore. He was afraid that if he didn't remind Li Kuan, he would fall asleep.

"Hmm? Who's here? Principal Guo?"

Li Kuan reacted quickly.

"Hahaha, Principal Guo, you're here, and you didn't even tell me in advance so that I could mobilize everyone in the Du Mansion to line the streets to welcome you."

Li Kuan sat up from the rocking chair. After all, Guo Shoujing helped him handle a lot of government affairs, so he had to give him a good face.

Eunuch Cao couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this. He also lined up to greet him? Your Majesty, it's great that you can come and see!

"Your Majesty, it's like this. I heard that you have come up with a new thing? What's it called? Tomato?"

Guo Shoujing waved his hand and got straight to the point.

"Oh? Principal Guo, are you here for the tomatoes? These are them."

Li Kuan was a little surprised. Just a tomato made Guo Shoujing come to visit?
