Who knows, family members? The system was intercepted by the First Emperor.

Chapter 548 Give Ying Zheng a taste

Chapter 548 Give Ying Zheng a taste

Ying Zheng looked at Li Jiang, waiting for her to continue.

"Since the society is matriarchal, then the person you were talking to just now was a woman?"

Li Jiang nodded: "Yes, the one who can speak Qin dialect is an elderly mother-in-law."

"They agreed to let us stop here in exchange for food?"

Li Jiang nodded: "I agree, but we are not allowed to go down and wander around. We can rest on the boat."

Ying Zheng stood up, looked at the people on the shore, and nodded: "Take your time, at least it's a good start."

Li Jiang also picked a few potatoes and pumpkins and stood up.

"Your Majesty is right, at least they have no ill intentions towards us for the time being."

"We brought a lot of necessities that can improve their lives, and we also brought a lot of things they haven't eaten before."

"We are noble people here to help them!"

Build a good relationship with Great Qin and become a vassal state or good friend of Great Qin. If someone invades here many years later, they will not be squeezed out.

After speaking, Li Jiang shook the potatoes and pumpkin in his hands.

"I will cook something delicious for Your Majesty today."

Although a few white-flour steamed buns didn't bring in many potatoes and pumpkins, there would be more to exchange in the future.

Let her Brother Zheng have a taste first before it becomes real!

It's still a bit unsafe to cook on the ship. Now that we've landed, we don't need to eat any dry food.

When Li Jiang disembarked again with Zhao Xi, who was carrying a pot, he aroused the vigilance of these indigenous people again.

But this time I don’t know if someone gave them instructions, but they didn’t say anything to them.

He just raised his stick towards them.

Li Jiang could only use international hand gestures to express that he was not a threat.

Put your hands up.

When the two arrived on land, they did not go in the direction of the indigenous people.

A simple cooking place was built directly on the shore.

Then make a fire.

The natives felt relieved when they saw that Li Jiang and the others just wanted to make a fire for cooking.

Li Jiang washed the potatoes and pumpkins in sea water and scraped off the potato skins.

When it was time to eat, the natives held baked potatoes in their hands and ate them dryly.

All eyes fell on the pot in front of Li Jiang.

Smelling the sweet fragrance wafting in the air, I kept swallowing.

What kind of magical smell is this? They have never smelled such a sweet smell!

Li Jiang looked at the pumpkin stewed potatoes in the pot, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

[If you want to take down a person, you must first take down his stomach. 】

【No one can refuse delicious food! 】

【nobody! 】

Zhao Xi stood beside Li Jiang. He was supposed to stand beside Li Jiang to protect her from the natives.

But Zhao Xi's eyes are always biased by the sense of smell, and he glances at the big iron pot from time to time.

How could two humble-looking dirtbags make such delicious food?

Li Jiang looked at the pumpkin in the pot that was already soft and glutinous, and the potatoes were almost turning into mud, and felt a little regretful.

[If there are sea crabs, throw them in, they will be delicious. 】

【Fresh and sweet. 】

There were only a few potatoes and not many pumpkins, so of course this pot was for Ying Zheng to eat.

Of course, the rest of the people have to continue to eat dry food.

The food in the pot was enough for Li Jiang, but she still asked someone to bring a small bowl.

Put the food in the pot into a small bowl and take the initiative to deliver it to the indigenous people.

He smiled and said to them: "This is for that mother-in-law."

There was only one person left who could understand what she said.

Looking at Li Jiang's smiling face, he felt a little hesitant.

I'm afraid the food is poisonous.

Visibly looking past Li Jiang's back, he looked at the man who got off the boat and his identity was obviously different from the others. He directly picked up the bowl and started eating.

What's more, this woman cooks under their noses.

Li Jiang looked at the man opposite him who was hesitant. The food was almost cold.

She sighed.

[It was still too hasty. 】

[You must have been worried about the poison when you first got here, so you didn’t dare to ask for it, right? 】

He was about to turn around and leave, but his hand was light.

The food in the palm of my hand was taken away by the man in front of me.

After all, the man couldn't resist the fragrance that kept entering his nose, so it should be fine, right?

Even if the priest doesn't eat it, he can still smell it all the way.

He had never smelled something so fragrant.

Li Jiang watched the people take away the dishes she cooked before returning to the shore with satisfaction.

Ying Zheng was eating one bite of steamed buns and one bite of vegetables, and soaked some dried meat in hot water.

The food she left was just enough for Ying Zheng to eat himself, but she saw that Ying Zheng left less than half a bowl of food for her.

Li Jiang was extremely moved.

Ying Zheng saw Li Jiang coming back and pointed to the food left for her.

"This dish is good and delicious."

After saying that, he continued: "In a few days, let them go to sea to catch some seafood for you."

On the other side, in a city-state made of earth and stones, an elderly man sat on an animal skin chair.

Sitting next to her was the bright girl.

The man came in with dishes in his hands, looked at the old man and said.

"High Priest, this group of people sent this."

The girl looked at the old man.

The old man slowly put down the roasted corn in his hand and looked up at the man.

"Bring it here."

When the bowl was placed on the table, the girl asked in surprise: "What is this?"

"It smells so good!"

The old man was also slightly startled. They had never seen such food before.

Most of them are thrown into the fire to roast, or thrown into the water to boil.

They have never eaten or seen anything like this.

"Grandma, is there any danger?"

The girl's eyes were filled with worry and desire, and her mouth was constantly secreting saliva.

She wanted to eat but was afraid of danger.

She and her grandma only kept one piece of the food they exchanged for today.

The rest were given to several women in the city who were giving birth to children.

"Eat, they are here to make friends with us. The turning point the speaker mentioned should be this time."

The old man looked at the girl, stretched out his hand and touched her forehead.

"Ya, if they don't have any ill intentions, just deal with them."

"Use the ancient language that grandma taught you to communicate with them. In the recent period, you stay with me and learn more about the ancient language."

Li Jiang and Ying Zheng didn't know anything about them. At this time, Li Jiang was tinkering with pumpkin seeds.

Ying Zheng sat next to Li Jiang and watched her do it.

Li Jiang starts washing with warm water, and then uses cold water after washing.

Then cover the moist pumpkin seeds with burlap and wait for them to germinate.

"Is this good?"

Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows: "Just wash the covering cloth and you're done?"

Li Jiang nodded: "These pumpkin seeds can only be planted in the ground if they sprout. If they don't sprout, I don't know how to plant them."

"We'll see if we can exchange more food with them in the next few days. Then we'll send them back to Daqin overnight to cultivate them first."

She looked at Ying Zheng: "Otherwise, if this thing is left rotten, it won't be able to be planted."

"And I saw them eating roasted corn."

Li Jiang swallowed hard as she thought of the roasted corn rice brushed with garlic chili sauce in future generations.

"corn?"

"Well, just the black one, the long one."

Ying Zheng frowned: "Is that food edible?"

"Why can't you eat it? It's delicious. It was originally yellow, but it's a pity that they burned it."

Li Jiang smacked his lips with pity: "I wonder if there is anyone in this city who can prophesy."

Looking at the city built of mud and stones in the distance, Li Jiang thought that he must get along with them quickly.

Only in this way can the seeds be returned to Da Qin first.

Only then can we plant food while we can still grow it.
