Farming game: raise cubs with equipment

Chapter 719 Messenger

After the defeat of Dachu, people's livelihood and economy have not yet recovered.

At the beginning, we could collect food everywhere, but later on we collected more and more food.

The whole court was in panic.

Today, the Emperor of Chu convened all ministers to discuss countermeasures.

"My dear friends, is there a way to solve this food shortage?" The Emperor Chu was extremely anxious, and if he couldn't raise any more food, he, the emperor, was about to go eat the food of the common people.

"Your Majesty, there is no food to raise in this country. Why don't you look down on other countries?" Chu said.

"You mean the Great Zhou Kingdom?" Chu Huang quickly understood that if it were to talk about food, the Great Zhou still had the most abundant food.

"That's right, His Majesty can send envoys to Da Zhou." The right minister said respectfully.

Emperor Chu hesitated: "Will they give it to us?"

"Yes, as long as we exchange horses for food, they will not refuse." After thinking for a while, Prime Minister Right added, "The horses of the Great Zhou Kingdom can't compare with ours."

Some people objected: "How can it be done! Horses are an important military weapon of our country, how can Da Zhou get them."

"If you don't take horses, what else can attract them?" Prime Minister Right frowned.

Emperor Chu knocked on the dragon chair, thinking.

"Besides, even if you give them horses, it doesn't mean that they can breed such excellent horses as our country."

"Father, my son thinks it is feasible. The only thing missing in the Great Zhou Dynasty is this horse. Only horses can impress them. Our country is now in a time of food shortage. In this dangerous time of life and death, it is better to rescue the emergency first." The second prince also came out. Lie advised that he didn't want to be reduced to eating tree roots.

Chu Huang said: "Since that's the case, if you are born this time, you can go with me."

The second prince took the order.

……

Big week.

The news that Da Chu wanted to exchange horses for food was heard by the emperor, and the emperor mentioned it when he was in the early court.

"What do you love dears think?" The emperor glanced around, and finally stopped on Yan Qinghe.

"My minister thinks it is feasible. Da Zhou's horses are not as good as Da Chu's. If they can be trained by Da Chu's horses, it will be of great benefit to Da Zhou." After a pause, Yan Qinghe continued, "Nowadays, the national grain The crisis has been resolved, and there is still a surplus of food in Da Zhou, so I think this method is feasible."

"The old minister also thinks it is feasible. Horses are a rare combat power. If you can get horses, Da Zhou is just to be stronger." Zuo Lian hurriedly said.

The right minister secretly hated the old fox, and snatched away all good words.

He rolled his eyes: "The old minister thinks it's not right. If the grain is exchanged for horses to alleviate the food crisis in Da Chu, there will be obstacles to attacking them later."

"What the right minister said is different. If Da Zhou doesn't solve the fundamental problem of horse quality, even if he doesn't agree to Da Chu's request, there will still be such problems when they find other food." Yan Qinghe said lightly.

The emperor nodded slightly, expressing agreement: "That's right, can Yan Aiqing do something?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, I thought that I could use potatoes in exchange. Potatoes are not grown by ordinary people. Even if I give them, they may not be able to crack the method." Yan Qinghe said lightly.

The emperor thought for a while, and decided in a few words: "According to what you said, Yan Aiqing will be in charge of this matter."

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I will treat you well." Yan Qinghe bowed his head and said respectfully.

A month later.

The envoy of Da Chu came to Da Zhou.

Seeing the prosperity of the people and the prosperity of the economy, I sigh in my heart.

If he didn't know the beginning, who would have thought that Da Zhou would still be in such a state.

The envoy of Da Chu repeatedly expressed surprise: "If I don't come this time, I don't know that Da Zhou has changed."

The second prince of Da Chu sneered: "Compared to Da Chu, it is still far behind."

The envoy of Great Chu didn't quite agree, but he was just a small envoy, so naturally he couldn't blame the second prince of Great Chu, so he immediately apologized and said with a smile: "Yes, how can our Great Chu be compared with a small Great Zhou?"

In order to show the demeanor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Yan Qinghe demanded perfection in every place.

This time, at the reception banquet, because potatoes were to be replaced, in order to show potatoes, Yun Yiyi told the imperial dining room [-] ways to eat potatoes.

The first type: small potatoes with cumin and salt and pepper.

The smallest potatoes are selected, cooked directly in the pot, cooled with cold water, peeled off the skin, and flattened one by one with the back of a knife.

Then, stir-fry the squashed small potatoes until both sides are browned, sprinkle some seasonings such as chopped green onion and cumin, and it will be out of the pan soon.

Because this category is done very quickly, it is done a lot.

The second type: braised small potatoes.

After cooking, cool the skin in cold water.

Then put it in hot oil and stir-fry for coloring and seasoning.

The speed is also extremely fast, and it can be out of the pot in ten minutes.

The third type: spicy small potatoes.

This one is the same as the previous treatment method, add scallions, ginger, garlic, etc., and then add dried chili powder, cumin powder, cumin granules, pepper powder, salt and other seasonings to fry until fragrant.

The most trouble-free.

The fourth type: stewed pork ribs with small potatoes.

In addition to all vegetarian dishes, a little meat is also needed.

Pork short ribs are used, soaked in rice washing water with a little cooking wine, and rinsed after removing blood stains.

After the pan is heated, it will be put in and fried until it is lightly browned.

Saute onion, ginger, garlic, dried red pepper, star anise, bay leaves, and cinnamon until fragrant, add rock sugar and stir fry, add fried ribs and small potatoes and stir fry over high heat.

The fifth type: French fries.

This is an essential one.

……

Of course, besides eating potatoes, Yun Yiyi also arranged some other cuisines.

Otherwise, it would be full of potatoes as soon as you enter the arena, and it would be a bit shabby to think about it.

Soup dumplings, ghee cakes, kebabs, fried yogurt...

Because women don't like to drink this kind of fishy milk, so there is still a lot of milk in the imperial dining room, and the big pot of pearl milk tea is full.

When Yun Yiyi talked about these dishes, everyone in the imperial dining room started to salivate.

Because someone had notified the number of people before, Yun Yiyi tried to let the people in the imperial dining room cook more, so as not to have enough food.

It was the first time Yan Qinghe presided over such a big event, and she didn't want to lose face because of the food.

This is a matter of the face of a country, so we try to get as much out of it as possible.

When the Great Chu envoy and his party arrived, they could smell the combination of rice and meat.

The courtiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty sat on the left side, and on the right side were the family members of the minister's wives, and their seats were at the bottom.

Directly above, the emperor and empress sat together, watching Da Chu and his party.

Yan Qinghe said calmly: "Da Zhou's sincerity is obvious to all. These are our Da Zhou's sincerity. Please sit down and have a meal."

The envoy of Da Chu was stimulated by this scent, so that his taste buds surged, and his saliva couldn't hold back.

Hearing this, he quickly said: "Where is it, Lord Yan is paying attention."

After the second prince sat down, he found that the food on this table was something he had never seen before.

"These are potatoes?" The second prince asked hesitantly.

He was still not sure, because some of the dishes had changed their taste.

Yan Qinghe said lightly: "The second prince came to Dazhou to exchange food. Potatoes are the most abundant food in our country. I specially made eighteen kinds of potato dishes for the second prince to taste."

The second prince was slightly surprised, he didn't expect that potatoes could be eaten in eighteen different ways.

He picked up a long golden strip and asked, "Is this also a potato?"

"That's right, this dish is called French fries." Yan Qinghe replied calmly, no doubt about the surprise on the second prince's face.

The second prince took a bite and found that it was fragrant and crispy. There was a small dish of red sauce next to it. Seeing that the Minister of the Great Zhou had dipped it with French fries, he hesitated for a while and tried dipping some, but the result was sour. The sweet smell made him squint his eyes, enjoying it very much.

Before he could ask, Yan Qinghe said, "This is tomato sauce, which can be eaten with French fries."

The second prince tasted other dishes, and found that the taste of potatoes was not the same under different methods.

"Second prince, these potatoes are really delicious." The envoy of Da Chu ate with oily mouth.

"My Highness didn't expect that there are so many ways to eat these potatoes, and each tastes different." The second prince stopped his chopsticks.

"Second prince, do you want to exchange potatoes?" The envoy of Great Chu raised his head. When the emperor of Zhou Dynasty said that he wanted to exchange potatoes with them, the second prince firmly opposed it.

After all, Da Chu's army was poisoned by eating potatoes before, wouldn't Da Zhou want to exchange potatoes for them to harm them?

Unexpectedly, when they came here, Da Zhou would entertain them with so many ways to eat.

In this way, potatoes are also a kind of delicacy.

The second prince did not answer, but sneered and said: "Master Yan, are you planning to prevaricate me with potatoes?"

Yan Qinghe smiled slightly: "Of course not, this time it's all potatoes just to show the second prince how to eat potatoes, the real dishes haven't been served yet."

The second prince was stunned, there are other dishes?
Yan Qinghe clapped his hands: "Bring it up and show it to the second prince of Dachu."

The maids came in response to the sound, and came forward with plates one by one.

When some strangely shaped dishes were brought to the table, the second prince smelled a burst of fragrance, and he said coldly: "Master Yan, won't you introduce it? This is the way of hospitality in Dazhou?"

Yan Qinghe said unhurriedly: "His Royal Highness has kebabs on the left, and milk tea on the right..."

Following the second prince's selection of a dish, Yan Qinghe said just one dish, with a neither humble nor overbearing attitude, without any neglect.

But the second prince had a feeling that he was being looked down upon as a bumpkin.

He hastily interrupted Yan Qinghe's words: "Okay, my Highness knows how to eat by herself."

What kind of meat skewers, what kind of milk tea, what kind of soup dumplings, what kind of shortbread...

He hadn't even heard of it, and the more he looked at it, the more confused he became.

Let Yan Qinghe go on talking, and he will be left behind.

Is it possible to ask him something?

At that time, I feel that they have nothing.

The second prince ate the delicious food with a wooden face, the meat skewers in his mouth were extraordinarily delicious and soft, making people want to eat more after eating a skewer.

Take a sip of meat skewers, and then drink a sip of milk tea, the fragrant and sweet taste spreads in your mouth.
