Chapter 70

"Ninth Young Master, this general will not take it; leave it all for His Majesty!"

Although General Zhang Han liked this tea, he didn't dare to fight the First Emperor for it.

"Rest assured, I have plenty of this stuff where I live; Father Emperor can't drink that much."

Ying Ying Zi Ye smiled knowingly; how could he not see General Zhang Han's little thoughts?

"There is... a lot more of this stuff?"

Ying Zheng and General Zhang Han looked at each other, feeling happy in their hearts; they both liked this taste.

"If Father Emperor likes it, I will order someone to send you a dozen jin later."

"A dozen... jin! That much?"

General Zhang Han was surprised; he had seen it just now.

This so-called tea only needs to be brewed with boiling water, and you only need to put in a few leaves.

This tea water is already fragrant; a dozen jin, how long would that take to drink?

"Your Majesty, since the Ninth Young Master is going to send you a dozen jin, then this..."

As he spoke, he looked at his own bag of tea and also glanced at Ying Zheng's bag of tea.

Ying Zheng knew what General Zhang Han was thinking and smiled: "Take it, take it all."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"

General Zhang Han happily took the two bags of tea; this trip was not in vain today!

Just these two bags of tea could last for a long time.

Ying Zheng heard that there was a lot of this tea and that a dozen jin would be sent to him later.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so generous in giving this tea away.

"By the way, brat, don't use tea to distract me; let's talk about serious matters."

Ying Zheng glanced at Ying Ying Zi Ye, although he liked this tea very much.

But the matter of opening granaries for disaster relief was more important.

This already involved the foundation of the state; if there is no good handling, something big will happen!

Hearing that they were going to talk about serious matters, General Zhang Han also restrained his smile.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly solidified.

Ying Ying Zi Ye smiled: "Father Emperor, why be so serious about such a small matter?"

"Since I dared to do this, I have a foolproof plan."

General Zhang Han was stunned; this Ninth Young Master had a big mouth.

This is called a small matter?

In Great Qin, grain is a huge matter!

These are all reserve grain and fodder for the army.

If they are all distributed to the common people, what if there is a war? Then the soldiers won't have enough to eat, and something big will happen!

Ying Zheng frowned slightly and looked at Ying Ying Zi Ye in surprise.

This brat had a big mouth; how did such a big matter become a small matter?

Could it be that after this brat became Regent, he revealed his arrogant nature?

If so, he would need to be taught a lesson.

"I'll show you some more good things; after seeing them, you will know that I didn't lie. I collected these from a farmer in a deep mountain."

Ying Ying Zi Ye saw the expressions of the two in his eyes.

He knew that these two didn't believe his words.

After all, the grain problem has always been a major issue that is difficult to solve in Great Qin.

Now it was described by him as a small matter, not worth mentioning.

If he didn't produce some evidence, who would believe his words?

Ying Ying Zi Ye picked up the package on the ground.

After placing the package on the table, he opened it.

Ying Zheng had been curious about this package before.

The brat saw the package open, and saw seven or eight round objects inside.

One was as long as a palm, and the outer layer also had a red film.

One was round and smooth, and the outside was wrapped in a yellow film.

They didn't know what these were; the two looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

This was their first time seeing this thing.

"What is this?"

Ying Zheng couldn't help but speak.

"Something delicious; it has already been cooked by me. This red one is called sweet potato, and this yellow one is called potato."

"You can try one first; the taste should be quite good."

"However, these are not very big; a big one weighs two or three jin."

Ying Ying Zi Ye said, picking up the sweet potato and slowly peeling off the red outer skin.

Revealing the purple-red sweet potato inside, this sweet potato weighed about a jin.

This was exactly the five thousand jin of sweet potatoes and potatoes rewarded to him by the manifestation of the national fortune.

He hadn't eaten this stuff for a long time either, so he just cooked a few.

He brought them over to share with Brother Zheng.

After the sweet potato was peeled, a faint fragrance entered his nose, and his appetite greatly increased upon smelling it.

Ying Ying Zi Ye didn't stand on ceremony and started eating directly.

"This thing can be stored for two or three years, and there are many ways to cook it; you can boil it, roast it, or eat it raw."

"It can even be made into flour, dried potato strips, potato chips, shredded potatoes; there are many ways to eat it."

Ying Zheng and General Zhang Han were a bit dumbfounded; are these round things food?

They had never seen them before; could it be a newly discovered food?

And there are so many diverse ways to eat it?

They had never seen a food that could have so many cooking methods.

Seeing Ying Ying Zi Ye eating with relish.

General Zhang Han also hurriedly picked up a sweet potato.

"Your Majesty, let this general go first."

As he spoke, he learned from Ying Ying Zi Ye's example just now and peeled it to eat.
