Chapter 41 Food shortage crisis "Oh? What did this fool bring you?" Li Shilong has not tasted Qin Mo's food for several days, and the skills of the royal chef in the palace have never been as good as Qin Mo's.
"Your Majesty, yes, it's Xiaobaicai!"
"Huh? What did you say?"
The eunuch knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "It's Xiaobaicai!"
"Quickly, bring the things up!"
Soon, the eunuch came in carrying a basket. The basket was covered with a layer of cloth. After opening it, there were green cabbages inside.
The pak choi is not too big, about the thickness of your little finger, about the size of your palm, and looks green.
"Is this really from Qinzhuang?"
Li Shilong frowned, "Did Qin Hanzi really grow vegetables? No, this is impossible. This year's winter is colder than in previous years. Even the cabbage beside the warm soup was frozen to death!"
He hasn't eaten fresh vegetables for two days. The taste of frost-damaged vegetables in his mouth is strange, but it's better than nothing.
"Your Majesty, it's really from Qinzhuang. The soil on it hasn't even dried yet!"
Gao Shilian took out a small cabbage, pointed to the root and said.
Li Shilong stood up, "Quick, send someone to Qinzhuang to take a look!"
Gao Shilian reacted, "It's Your Majesty!"
In fact, Gao Shilian didn't believe that Qin Mo could grow vegetables in the cold winter.
But this basket full of green vegetables is genuine and juicy, as if they were just pulled out of the ground.
He quickly brought people to Qinzhuang.
When he saw Qin Mo sitting in front of the greenhouse, cooking hot pot, he immediately swallowed his saliva.
"Hey, Lao Gao is here!"
Qin Mo hurriedly waved, "Quick, come over and try it together!"
Gao Shilian looked at the cabbage, radish seedlings, and lettuce placed next to Qin Mo. He was so shocked that he couldn't speak, "Qin Prince Consort, this, these are..."
"Yes, I planted them all!"
Qin Mo picked up the green vegetables from the hot pot and took a sip. It was crunchy when he chewed it, "It's so good!"
Gollum!
Gao Shilian kept swallowing saliva.
"What do you want to do? Let's eat together!"
Qin Mo picked up a large piece of meat in the copper pot, "This is the beef that was just slaughtered today. It is very fresh and tastes very good!"
ha? Beef just killed today? Gao Shilian was stunned. The army was short of horses and cattle, so cattle could not be killed unless they died of illness or old age.
Yang Liugen said quickly: "Mr. Gao, you are a cow that dies of old age!"
Gao Shilian breathed a sigh of relief, but remembering His Majesty's instructions, he hurriedly said: "Captain Prince Consort, can you let me go into that greenhouse and have a look?"
"Oh, what's the rush? Let's fill our stomachs first. You rushed here from the palace and haven't had lunch yet, right?"
Qin Mo sandwiched a large piece of beef and mutton, washed a lot of vegetables and put them into the Gao Shilian bowl, "Here, eat!"
"Then, our family would like to thank the Prince Consort!"
Gao Shilian couldn't bear it for a long time, and now he sat down and took a mouthful of fresh yellow beef. The meat was so tender that it bounced around his teeth.
The green vegetables are sweet and refreshing, not to mention how comfortable they are.
"Delicious, right?"
"Good time, good time!"
Gao Shilian's tongue almost swallowed it.
The little eunuch who came with him was so greedy that his mouth watered.
Qin Mo smiled and said something to Yang Liugen. Yang Liugen nodded and greeted them quickly, "You guys have worked hard too. Let's open another table." "Isn't this good?"
"Go and eat. Captain is a considerate person. No one else can ask for this green vegetable. You are lucky today!" Gao Shilian said.
A group of young eunuchs hurriedly said: "Thank you, Prince Consort, Captain, and thank you, ancestor!"
"Come on, Lao Gao, have a glass of wine to warm yourself up!"
Qin Mo poured a glass of wine for Gao Shilian. The wine was crystal clear and had a strong aroma. Although Gao Shilian was not a healthy man, he was the emperor's personal eunuch after all, and he had tasted all kinds of fine wines. few.
But this was his first time seeing such clear and mellow wine.
"What kind of wine is this?"
"It's called, three bowls but no post!"
"What a weird name!"
Gao Shilian didn't know the allusion of Wu Song fighting a tiger, but from the literal interpretation, it must be strong wine.
"We don't believe it, this wine is really that strong!"
"Don't you know if you taste it?"
Qin Mo had almost finished eating and threw a peanut into his mouth. This wine was the wine he purified with Sanle pulp. Although it was still not as good as the white wine in his previous life, the alcohol content was at least above 35 degrees.
Gao Shilian first put the cup under his nose and smelled it. The strong aroma of wine made him tremble, and then drank it all in one gulp.
He just felt like he drank a ball of fire. It was extremely spicy, but it was followed by endless aftertaste.
"This, this wine is so strong, even better than Sanlejiang!"
"If you like it, I will give you a pot, but please don't give it to my father-in-law. He is the most shameless person. He wants the best one!"
Gao Shilian broke into a cold sweat, this fool, how dare you say that! But this wine is really good. After one glass, I feel warm all over and feel indescribably comfortable! However, he did not forget about the business. After he was half full, he said, "Captain, can you let us go in and take a look?"
Qin Mo picked his teeth, burped and stood up, "Come on, let me open your eyes to you bastards!"
When Qin Mo opened the curtain, Gao Shilian was stunned by the scene in front of him.
Green vegetables are actually green vegetables.
They grew exceptionally strong in the ground, subverting Gao Shilian's world view, "Oh my god, they are actually grown. Captain, are those vines cucumbers?"
He pointed at the vines.
"Yes, they are cucumbers, but it will take another two months to harvest."
Qin Mo nodded, "This is a leek, it will be ripe soon!"
He led Gao Shilian to open one shed after another. From the shock at the beginning, he was now numb.
Gao Shilian took a deep breath, it was amazing, this was really amazing.
Qin Mo actually reversed the seasons and grew vegetables.
Now those who saw Qin Mo's joke would be slapped in the face.
Returning to the palace, Li Shilong hurriedly asked: "What's going on? Did Qin Hanzi grow any vegetables? Are they all frozen to death?"
Gao Shilian licked the butter on his lips and said, "Your Majesty, the Prince Consort of Qin has really grown vegetables!"
The expression on Li Shilong's face froze, "What did you say?"
“Not only are there bok choy, but there are also lettuce, leeks, and even cucumbers are starting to grow!”
Gao Shilian said respectfully.
call! Li Shilong's breathing became rapid.
He was not ashamed because Qin Mo lost the bet when he grew vegetables. The first thing he thought of was, if vegetables can be grown in winter, can food be grown as well? Since we can plant crops all year round, wouldn’t the crisis of food shortage be easily solved? Thinking of this, he couldn't wait any longer, "Hurry, hurry, prepare your horses, and go to Qinzhuang immediately!"
