Chapter 208 Potatoes and Sweet Potatoes
It’s a pity that his father couldn’t see this good show.
"Your Majesty Beiyun, these are our country's birthday gifts to your Majesty."
Jin Yu asked the envoy to open the box.
I saw that the first box was a box of things that looked like tree roots and had a red surface and were covered in mud.
Jin Yu pointed at it and introduced it to Mo Jinyi who was sitting at the top.
"This box contains some specialties found in the wild, called yams. We found them just as our envoys were preparing to leave for your country, so we were asked to bring a box to His Majesty Beiyun."
"I also want your country to taste the specialties of the Kingdom of Jin."
Jin Yu introduced with a smile on his face.
I laughed wildly in my heart, thinking that my father and the others were disgusting.
When they found it, they thought it was fruit buried in the ground.
I washed it and tasted it. It was edible but had no taste.
What’s worse, eating too much raw food can cause stomach upset.
I tried to cook it later and found that it was still hard to bite even after being cooked for a long time.
In the Jin Dynasty, there was a feeling that the food was tasteless and it was a pity to throw it away.
His father also concluded that this thing was common for refugees to use to satisfy their hunger during famine.
But at that time they ate everything and definitely didn’t mind.
It would be a great mistake to use this to fool Beiyun who has never seen this thing before.
Everyone at the table looked at this thing that they couldn't tell what it was, and it was covered in mud.
They all frowned, wondering what was wrong with the Jin Kingdom? How dare they send such dirty things directly to them?
It seems that he really doesn't take Beiyun seriously.
Yan Zigui looked at the box with even more disgust.
specialty?
They have the nerve to call this a specialty. Why do the Jin royal family seem to be even more crazy than the Beiyun royal family?
The Beiyun royal family except His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan.
Mo Jinyi sat at the top with no expression on his face. If something was sent by the Kingdom of Jin, it must be that the old man thought the thing was not good, so he sent it to other countries to disgust people.
Doesn’t the old man from Jin Guo think he would get angry over such a small thing?
Mo Sheng waited for the man to finish speaking, then raised his head and looked down.
Feeling that the things in the box looked familiar, she took a closer look.
After seeing clearly what it was, she suddenly became excited.
[I made a lot of money this time]
Mo Jinyi raised his eyebrows when he heard this. It seems that this thing is useful.
[Xiao Ba, look, this thing looks a bit like the sweet potato I saw in the information in my previous life]
Xiao Ba didn't understand why her little master was so excited.
And its little owner actually knew about sweet potatoes, but it thought the little owner didn't know.
After all, in her previous life, she was picked up and dropped off by car from childhood to adulthood, and even her food was prepared by someone and delivered to her.
It is impossible to see what the raw materials of the food look like.
It seems that being studious is indeed a good thing. The more you learn, at least you can learn the basics by imitating others.
System: [My young master, it’s not like, it’s this]
[Really? If it can be grown, will Beiyun still lack food?
I remember reading in the past that sweet potatoes have the excellent characteristics of strong adaptability and being able to grow in any place.
The yield is so high that "one acre can produce dozens of stones, which is twenty times more than growing grain."
In addition, it is "moist and edible, and can be boiled or ground into powder. It tastes like kudzu when eaten raw, like honey when cooked, and tastes like water chestnuts", so it was able to spread quickly to the mainland.
Don’t underestimate this inconspicuous little piece, it has made great contribution to the fact that “seven to eight out of ten villagers make their living from potatoes”.
High yield, drought resistance, disease resistance and insect resistance.
It seems to be born to save humanity】
Mo Jinyi:!!!!!!??????
His shock was beyond words, and he was so excited that he almost stood up. Fortunately, he knew what the occasion was, and he clenched the wine glass in his hand.
Control your own ups and downs of emotions.
Is Sheng'er right?
This little thing has such a high yield, if it can be cultivated.
Promote it to every household.
At least the people of Beiyun would not starve to death.
No one knew how excited Mo Jinyi was inside, but he appeared very calm on the surface.
The Crown Prince, the Second Prince and others widened their eyes.
This is a good thing, and the Jin Kingdom dared to send it abroad.
I’m afraid they just dug it out and tried it and found it not tasty, so they deliberately gave Beiyun’s one.
Mo Sheng glanced at Mo Jinyi who didn't move. She thought he didn't hear her, so she spoke again.
[Father, you must leave these things behind.]
Mo Jinyi turned slightly and smiled at Mo Sheng, indicating that he understood.
Of course he knew he had to stay. It would have been fine if he didn't know. If he didn't stay after knowing, he would be hopelessly stupid.
Besides, this was a gift from the Kingdom of Jin, so it belongs to him. There is no reason to take it back.
Didn’t Sheng’er say before that there would be an agricultural genius in this year’s imperial examination?
After the banquet, he summoned the man to the palace to discuss how to start cultivating sweet potatoes.
Jin Yu found it very funny to see everyone at the table with gloomy faces and wide eyes waiting for him.
Go ahead and glare at him. He likes this kind of look where people can't stand him but can't do anything to him.
It's really exciting.
It would be great if His Majesty Beiyun was also angry, but it’s a pity, he is worthy of being an emperor.
I'm not angry about this.
It doesn’t matter, he still has a lot more and I can introduce them to him slowly.
Then, Jin Yu signaled the envoy to open the second box and began to introduce it.
"Your Majesty Beiyun, this is also a specialty found in our country. Because it looks round, your majesty named it Earth Egg."
Of course, it tasted just as bad as the previous box.
When everyone saw what was inside the box after it was opened, their faces became even darker.
This looks similar to the stuff in the previous box, also covered in mud, but with a yellow skin and rounder fruits.
System: [Little Master, do you know what this is?]
Upon hearing this, Mo Sheng looked at the box again.
It looks familiar, but I can't remember where it is.
[I can’t remember it, but it looks familiar]
Xiao Ba became happy when she heard this. Finally, there was something she didn't know.
Besides, it was the food she loved to eat in her previous life, so she didn’t know.
System: [My little master, this is a vegetable that you loved to eat in your previous life]
Mo Sheng heard this and looked at its color.
Yellowish.
Think back to the food you loved to eat in your past life, it would be this color.
【Potato】
System: [My little master guessed correctly. This is a famine-fighting artifact that is as famous as sweet potatoes. As long as it is cultivated well, it can produce 1,000 kilograms per mu.]
Now it was Mo Sheng's turn to be shocked.
These two things have completely different growth habits, how can they exist in the same country at the same time?
[The Jin Kingdom is truly vast and rich in resources.
These two things are definitely golden fingers.]
Mo Sheng was jealous.
Mo Jinyi was also jealous. How come the Jin Kingdom had everything?
They are all emergency supplies for famine years.
Stay, stay.
He wants to find someone to cultivate into their own thing.
low profile.
It cannot be detected as unusual by other countries.
The prince and others: They are also jealous.
In order to prevent them from letting them down, the prince and others lowered their heads and ate madly, fearing that they would show any abnormality and be known by other countries.
Seeing their expressions, Mo Jinyi nodded with satisfaction. These kids knew their limits.
