Baby brings his own shopping mall to travel through

At the same time, he regarded the piece of paper in his right hand as a treasure, as if it contained important information concerning people's livelihood.

"This way, the common people will have one more food to fill their stomachs!"

The emperor muttered to himself excitedly, with a gleam of hope in his eyes.

He knew very well what this new food crop meant to the people - more survival opportunities, a more stable life and a better vision for the future.

Thinking of this, the emperor couldn't help but quicken his pace, and began to plan in his mind how to promote this taro so that it could benefit people all over the world.

After a long time, the emperor's mood, which had been fluctuating like waves, gradually calmed down. However, he still paced slowly in the room, as if he was lost in deep thought.

"Oh my, could you please stop hanging around there? You're turning around like this and I'm getting dizzy." The emperor said helplessly.

Upon hearing this, the emperor stopped and turned to look at the retired emperor and the young uncle beside him. He asked excitedly, "Father, young uncle, a new grain variety has been introduced. Aren't you excited at all?"

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, stroked his beard, and responded slowly: "Humph, just because of this matter, should we cheer and jump for joy? We are people who have experienced ups and downs, how can we show our inner emotions so easily?"

At this moment, Qi Xingyun, who had been silent on the side, raised the corners of his mouth slightly without being noticed.

In fact, when the news about food was just received, the emperor was as excited as the emperor, and even turned around several times in a row. But now he has calmed down.

Now that he saw someone else behaving in the same way he did before, he not only did not feel the slightest bit of shame, but instead felt that it was somewhat embarrassing for his son to behave so unconcealedly.

The emperor widened his eyes, put his hands on his hips, and retorted loudly: "I don't believe that you will have no reaction when you hear such good news!" It must be said that the emperor guessed right this time.

The emperor himself was indeed excited about this for a long time. In comparison, although Qi Xingyun was also quite excited at first, he quickly adjusted his mentality and regained his usual composure.

Having known Xiao Cao'er for so many years, Qi Xingyun would not find it strange no matter what she brings out now.

"There are only so few taro seeds. How long do you think it will take before they can be promoted for cultivation among the common people?" asked the emperor.

Although it takes a lot of time and effort to promote this new variety of grain, it is undoubtedly a gratifying thing in the long run.

After all, after so many years, we finally discovered a new grain variety, which really gave us new hope. The emperor could not hide his excitement and spoke with a slightly trembling voice.

Not long after, the sumptuous lunch carefully prepared by the imperial kitchen was served.

The most eye-catching dishes are those made with taro, a new grain, as the main ingredient: the cured duck made with taro is fragrant and attractive in color; the steamed spare ribs with taro is a perfect combination of the two, with a fresh and juicy taste; the shredded taro is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, sweet and delicious; in addition, there are whole steamed taro.

These taro roots come in different sizes and have different uses. The larger taro roots are usually used in cooking dishes, while the smaller taro roots can be eaten directly after being simply steamed. Compared with the common sweet potato, taro has a more diverse way of eating.

Qi Xingyun had never tasted taro before. Just after hearing the news that taro was planted as a new crop, he couldn't wait to bring taro to the palace. Today, for him, it was the first time to taste it.

"Mm, it tastes really good! This taro cured duck is amazing! The taro melts in your mouth and has a soft and smooth texture, while the cured duck is not greasy at all after being specially processed. The combination of the two is a perfect match."

"Look at this steamed pork ribs with taro. The taro has fully absorbed the rich meaty aroma of the pork ribs. It is so delicious that you can't stop eating it." The emperor commented with praise as he tasted the food with relish.

After hearing the words of praise from the retired emperor, the others nodded in agreement.

They felt that what the emperor said was very true, so they stopped commenting and focused on enjoying the sumptuous lunch in front of them.

For a moment, the only sounds heard in the entire palace were the slight chewing sounds and the crisp sounds of tableware colliding, and the atmosphere seemed particularly harmonious.

On the dining table, the wine in the jar was emitting an enticing aroma. The emperor stared at the jar of wine and muttered, "Little uncle, why didn't you bring two jars for your nephew?"

The Queen Mother smiled and said softly, "What are you thinking about, kid? This is a New Year gift that Xiaocao'er's family specially prepared for me. How can I just give you a few more jars casually?"

Hearing this, the emperor immediately showed an aggrieved look, looked at Qi Xingyun beside him pitifully, and asked with some resentment: "Why didn't I receive the New Year gift?"
