King Leng pursues his wife, but abandons his concubine

Chapter 337 What is Corn (2)
An An doubted her ears a little.

No way? !

Could it be that there is no such crop as corn in this era? !She said she was stunned!
"That's right, Princess, I don't think I've ever heard of this 'corn'."

Lan Yu also said, her delicate eyes were full of doubt and curiosity.

Is there really such a thing as "corn" in this world? !
"Corn! The kind that can be eaten, just like rice and paddy, the kind that grows orange-yellow..."

An An didn't believe it, so she tried to explain it in more detail, reminding Chef and Lan Yu of this crop.

Chef and Sapphire were still shaking their heads, with blank expressions on their faces. It seemed that they were really gone...

"Ah! I know what the 'corn' the princess is talking about!"

The boy who was burning the fire suddenly had his eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, he suddenly yelled.

Ann nodded.

Look, she knew that there was no such thing as corn in this era.

There are records in historical books a long time ago, how the ancients burned corn into delicious food. This era is not so backward. How could there be no corn? !
"Quickly tell me, where is it?! That's good, why don't you go and bring some corn, this princess just needs it."

An An turned around and looked at the boy who was burning the fire, her delicate little face was stained with a little seriousness and joy, and she immediately gave orders.

"Li Er, do you really know what the princess is talking about about corn?! If you don't know, you can't talk nonsense!"

The chef spoke sternly, and looked at the fireman named "Li Er" rather "fiercely" with his eyes.

An An's eyes flickered. Of course, she would not be as naive as everyone else, thinking that the chef was worried about the fire boy talking nonsense and boasting and causing trouble. The humble fireman snatched it away, but you are unwilling? !
"It doesn't matter, even if you make a mistake, it's fine. You can just bring the things now. Whether it's right or wrong, you can wait until you see the result."

An An waved to the chef, and stopped the words he wanted to stop, and said in a crisp voice.

"Yes, princess, go and get the things here, little one."

It seems that with An An's verbal guarantee, the young fireman didn't look at the chef again, stood up directly from under the kang, walked to a small cabinet in the big kitchen with a trot, and opened the cabinet The door of the cupboard, choosing something from a variety of fresh vegetables in a basket inside...

Just when everyone involuntarily stretched their necks to take a look, the fire boy didn't give everyone a chance to see clearly. It seemed that in the blink of an eye, many orange things were hugged in the fire boy's arms. ran back again.

"Princess, look, is that the 'corn' you mentioned?!"

The fire-burning boy looked happy, watching An An's face shining with radiant light...

"Yes, they are."

An An reached out and took the few corns that the fire boy was holding in his hand, nodded, and replied.

"Princess, so these are the 'corns' you just mentioned?!"

Sapphire couldn't help but leaned over, her curious eyes saw the corn in the hands of her own princess, and her complexion turned bad in an instant...

No way? !

These are "corns"? !Do you want to be so scary? !

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

An An turned to look at Sapphire, who had a "weird" expression, and asked strangely.

"Princess... You, you don't want to use this pearl rice to give the prince and the others something to eat?!"

Seeing her princess's face of taking it for granted and not knowing at all, Lan Yu felt that her heart was a little more frightened, and her voice also rose a little...

"It turns out that you call corn 'pearl rice' here?! Well, the name is quite unique and nice."

However, An An didn't seem to grasp the point of Lan Yu's words at all, and murmured to herself.

"Princess! The name is not the point at all, is it?!"

Lan Yu stomped anxiously, looking at her princess with eager eyes, although An An still didn't understand at the moment, what was the eagerness in Lan Yu's eyes for...

"Okay, then tell me, what's the point?"

An An looked at Lan Yu leisurely, waiting to see what she wanted to say next.

"Oh! Princess, come here."

After saying this, Sapphire mysteriously pulled An An aside, then stood on tiptoe, leaned into An An's ear, and whispered: "Princess, this pearl rice can't be put into the meal. No, it should be Said, you can't use pearl rice to make food, especially for the prince and the others!"

"why?!"

An An asked strangely, does Leng Yuechen hate eating corn, or...is he allergic to corn? !
"Pearl rice is not for people to eat!"

"It's not for people to eat? What is it for?!"

An An is even more strange, how can there be any corn that cannot be eaten by others!What exactly is Sapphire trying to say? !

"Oh! Why don't you understand, princess?! Pearl rice has always been eaten by pigs, not humans."

Sapphire stomped her feet anxiously again, and spoke out in one breath.

"What?! For pigs?! Cough, cough, cough!"

An An seemed to be choked by such a fact, and coughed violently uncontrollably!

Inside a pair of crystal-clear eyes is full of inconceivable...

Is this wrong? !
Corn, which is rich in multivitamins, has high nutritional value, and tastes good, is actually used by these ignorant humans to feed pigs? !
Oh my god!What exactly happened here? !

"Princess, how are you, princess?! Are you okay?!"

Lan Yu patted An An's slender back worriedly, her tone obviously worried.

It's just... After all, Lan Yu is a girl brought back from the countryside, and her hand strength is surprisingly strong. In addition, An An's body is a little weaker than that of ordinary daughters. She was slapped by Lan Yu like this. , I feel even more that the internal organs in my body are all tangled together, and the whole person is not good!
A delicate little face is also stained with more weakness and paleness...

"Cough, cough cough! Okay, okay! I'm fine with your princess, so I don't need to take pictures anymore."

It's really a matter of shooting again!

An An silently added in her heart, of course, now that there are so many people behind her present, with more than a dozen pairs of eyes looking at her like this, she naturally can't say it directly like this, otherwise, I'm afraid it will spread throughout the entire Leng Palace and the whole moon tomorrow. country, then the life of this little girl Sapphire can be imagined...

When An An finally calmed down and took a look at Lan Yu, Lan Yu thought that An An would give up the idea of ​​putting these pearl rice used to feed pigs into the pot, but An An said in a blink of an eye: "Go and get more Come get some pearl rice!"

"..."

Sapphire no longer knew what kind of expression to put on. It would be fine if her princess didn't know the purpose of pearl rice before, but she had already told her just now, why did she still insist on going her own way? !
In the entire Yue Kingdom, even the poorest families know that pearl rice is inedible. Even if they would rather go hungry, they would not take a bite!

This is related to the minimum dignity and face of a Yue countryman...

But now...

"Princess, this pearl rice really can't be used for cooking!"

Sapphire approached An An again, reminding her again.

"Yes! Princess, this pearl rice..."

"Okay! Do you all want to say that this pearl rice cannot be eaten by humans, but only by pigs?!"

Seeing that everyone in the big kitchen was nodding in unison, An An took a deep breath, and then looked around, until she saw everyone lowered their heads in embarrassment, then continued to speak slowly Tun said: "My princess thinks that you are all too ignorant! Do you know that this corn... no, it is this pearl rice, how many things are in it that are good for our body?! You don't know how to enjoy it, Feed it to pigs?! Really stupid!"

"But everyone has been like this since ancient times. They used it to feed pigs..."

Sapphire lowered her head and muttered softly.

An An very sharply shot her sharp eyes straight at the muttering Sapphire, then cleared her throat, and her voice rose slightly, and continued: "I don't care what others do with this princess Miben, but never Starting today, the pearl rice in our Leng Palace must not be used to feed pigs!"

"Well, princess... It seems that there are no pigs in Prince Leng's mansion..."

The little servant who was burning the fire raised his hand tremblingly, and said in a low voice.

This child is truly frightening!

An An glanced coldly, and the young man who was burning the fire had no other words for an instant.

An An nodded, took back the rather sharp-eyed knife that swept across, and threw it at the chef instead.

"Later, my concubine has made eight-treasure corn and lotus seed porridge, and then I will use these pearl rice to make a few simple, crisp and refreshing side dishes and take them to the hall. Chef, you stand Take a good look at it, the daily breakfast in Lengwangfu will always be made from these pearl rice, do you hear me clearly?!"

An An stared, and the whole person exuded a chilling aura and coercion. The aura was actually a bit less cold than the feeling exuded by Leng Yuechen.

In the huge kitchen, everyone held their breath, not daring to say anything more, and they obeyed An An's instructions without any objection.

"By the way, I seem to have forgotten to inform you of one thing. The prince has just said in the hall that the meal time of Leng Palace will be decided by this princess in the future. In other words, that is to say, the meal time of Leng Palace In this regard, in the future, you all have to obey the instructions of this princess, and even those of you who work in the kitchen of Prince Leng's mansion all day long must also obey the instructions of this princess unconditionally. Do you understand?!"

An An stood beside the steaming pot, resting her right hand casually on the surface of the stove, looked at everyone in the kitchen, and announced loudly...
