Sweet baby milk, bring the whole family rich
Chapter 250 How to deal with it
In an instant, his eyes suddenly lit up and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
The roasted potatoes melt in your mouth, and the fragrant and delicious taste spreads instantly. The slight spiciness brought by the perfect amount of chili powder makes it even more memorable.
"Hmm... I never thought it would be so delicious! Not only does it fill my stomach, but it's also easy and convenient to prepare. If these potatoes can be mass-produced, it would be a perfect solution to the food problem in the frontier!"
Ouyang Qingfeng said to Tiantian excitedly while chewing the delicious food in his mouth.
Tiantian nodded obediently, shook her little head for a while and said, "Uncle, do you know? This kind of potato will mature in about half a month here. But in those remote border areas, it will take almost a month to fully mature!" She blinked her big watery eyes and looked very cute.
When Ouyang Qingfeng heard this, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
He quickly reached out and held Tiantian's little hand, and hurried towards the palace.
When Shangguan Qin saw this scene, she did not say anything to stop it. She just smiled and told her men to dig some more potatoes and take them into the palace.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the palace seemed somewhat tense and solemn.
The emperor was furiously yelling at the ministers below, scaring them so much that they lowered their heads and dared not say a word.
At this moment, someone suddenly came in to report that Ouyang Qingfeng wanted to see him and claimed that he had a solution to the problem.
The emperor was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately waved his hand, asking the group of ministers who were trembling with fear after being scolded to leave first.
Afterwards, he summoned Ouyang Qingfeng alone.
However, when the emperor saw Ouyang Qingfeng walking into the hall, he was surprised to find that he was not alone.
Next to Ouyang Qingfeng, there was a delicate and innocent little girl.
The emperor frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "Why did Tiantian come with you?"
Since the Ouyang family has not yet announced that they have found Ouyang Qingxian, who had been missing for many years, the emperor naturally has no idea what kind of relationship there is between Tiantian and the Ouyang family.
Faced with the emperor's questions, Tiantian was not at all nervous.
She raised her head and answered in her tender and clear voice, "Uncle Emperor, he is my eldest uncle!" After that, she gave the emperor a sweet smile, as bright and dazzling as a flower blooming in spring.
"Have you found your younger sister?" The emperor sat upright on the dragon throne, gazing majestically at Ouyang Qingfeng below, his tone filled with concern and curiosity.
Ouyang Qingfeng bowed slightly, raised his head, nodded lightly, and responded, "Your Majesty, my younger sister has been found. I am waiting for my father's return before officially announcing this good news to the outside world."
When the emperor heard the news, a hint of joy appeared on his face, but in a flash, this joy was overshadowed by the worries brought about by the affairs on the border.
He frowned slightly and said worriedly, "Alas, although finding your sister is a happy event, the frequent wars on this border make it difficult for me to laugh heartily!"
At this moment, the emperor's attention was suddenly attracted by a bamboo basket placed in front of him.
The bamboo basket looked ordinary, but for some reason it caught the emperor's attention.
Tiantian, who was standing nearby, saw this and quickly stepped forward, explaining crisply, "Uncle Huang, these are potatoes. They're edible."
After hearing this, the emperor looked puzzled and muttered to himself, "Oh? This thing can actually be eaten? I've never heard of it before."
As he spoke, he looked at Tiantian doubtfully, as if he wanted to get more information from her about this strange food.
Tiantian blinked her bright eyes and suggested sweetly, "Uncle Huang, if you don't believe me, I'll let my maid make some for you to try, okay?"
The emperor looked at Tiantian's adorable little appearance and felt a surge of pity in his heart. He really couldn't bear to refuse her request, so he smiled and nodded to indicate his agreement.
Then, the emperor turned his head and cast his gaze on Ouyang Qingfeng again, asking, "So, what exactly is the response you mentioned earlier? Can you please tell me now?"
Ouyang Qingfeng raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a confident smile, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Wait a moment, and you will naturally know."
The emperor was extremely anxious, but he knew Ouyang Qingfeng's stubborn character very well, and forcing him would probably only backfire.
Helplessly, the emperor had to suppress his inner anxiety for the time being, slowly sat down, and decided to play a game of chess with Ouyang Qingfeng first.
On the chessboard, black and white chess pieces are crisscrossed, and both sides are fighting back and forth, neither giving in.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was solemn, with only the crisp sound of chess pieces falling to the ground being audible.
After a fierce competition, the dust finally settled and the emperor won the game.
The emperor looked at Ouyang Qingfeng with a smile and asked softly, "Are you willing to give in to me?"
Ouyang Qingfeng shook his head slightly and replied modestly, "No, it's just that the emperor's chess skills have improved by leaps and bounds recently, and I am ashamed to say I am not as good as him."
When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but feel happy, as if the haze that had shrouded his heart for days was instantly dispelled without a trace.
At this moment, Xiaoxia carefully came to the emperor with the delicious food she had just prepared.
The eunuch at the side hurried forward to take it, carefully checked it first, and after confirming that it was non-toxic, he respectfully presented it to the emperor.
The emperor picked up the chopsticks, elegantly picked up a piece of food and put it into his mouth, chewing it carefully and savoring it.
His expression didn't change much at first, but when he heard Ouyang Qingfeng introduce that this food was made from a crop called potato, and that it only took a month from planting to maturity, the emperor's eyes suddenly lit up, and the chopsticks in his hand stopped in mid-air.
After a moment, the emperor came back to his senses and excitedly put down his chopsticks. His eyes sparkled with surprise and anticipation as he muttered to himself, "This is a divine object! If we can cultivate it on a large scale, then the problem of food supply on our borders will be solved. My soldiers who are defending our country will no longer have to worry about this!"
Ouyang Qingfeng bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise, and this is exactly what I was thinking. However, this potato cultivation method still needs to be promoted, and I still have to rely on Your Majesty's help."
Upon hearing this, the emperor threw back his head and burst into laughter. His voice was as resounding as a bell, and he said, "Of course! This is such a vital matter concerning the people's livelihood, how could I possibly neglect it in the slightest? I will immediately issue an imperial decree, ordering farmers across the country to carefully learn how to grow potatoes and ensure their widespread dissemination to alleviate the people's worries about food and clothing."
