Hearing Lu Wei's words, Zhu Yuanzhang felt as if something had been put into his heart. He murmured, "Soft... sweet... edible... really edible?"

Perhaps Zhu Yuanzhang himself did not realize it.

This "something that seemed to have settled down" was actually the worry and anxiety in his heart. After going through so much time and so many things, he probably still hoped that the unique little wolf cub could firmly take that position...

Lu Wei's expression had become much more relaxed. He nodded and said truthfully, "It feels like eating the cakes that the cook made for Your Majesty. It even has a unique sweet aroma."

What he said was true. In an era of material scarcity, boiled sweet potatoes were naturally not as fragrant as roasted ones, but they were enough to conquer his taste buds.

After a pause, he put down the porcelain bowl in his hand, twisted his waist, raised his hands and tried to stretch left and right, while distracting himself to feel the changes in his body.

Then he grinned and jokingly said, "At least you haven't been poisoned yet."

"I think, to be on the safe side, Your Majesty can wait a little longer, at least half an hour. If my health is as usual, Your Majesty can try it." Lu Wei said sincerely.

Anyway, he has already eaten it, so of course the more beautiful the words are, the better. It will not be in vain for him to take the risk of testing the poison, right?

Moreover, although this thing looks ugly on the outside, it looks pretty good on the inside, with good color, aroma and taste. After getting over the initial fear of something he had never seen before, Lu Wei thought... Considering the unfathomable nature of the Emperor of Yingtian Prefecture, he shouldn't go to such great lengths to grow some poisonous substance, right?

Although Zhu Yuanzhang was accustomed to Lu Wei's loyalty and didn't say much, he still glanced at him, then narrowed his eyes slightly and fixed his gaze on the coffee table, as if he was thinking about something.

After a moment, his lower eyelid trembled slightly and he said, "There's nothing to wait for. The little wolf cub shouldn't grow anything poisonous."

He already had some suspicions about the nature of the sweet potato. With such a huge contribution, it couldn't possibly be poisonous, right?

"Let's try it." Zhu Yuanzhang didn't doubt it and directly picked up the sweet potato and took a bite from the other end. The weather in the north was cold, and the temperature of the sweet potato had dropped while he was hesitating. It was just right, so he chewed it directly in his mouth.

The sweet aroma slowly spread through my mouth and nose. Just as Lu Wei had said, my taste buds also felt the sweetness. It was truly delicious!

"It's edible, it's a good thing!"

"Hmm...a big mouthful can fill my stomach!"

A child from a peasant family, a person who grew up hungry, even though he had been emperor for so many years, could still immediately notice the most noteworthy points.

After hearing what he said, Lu Wei nodded in realization: "Swallowing it really feels like eating a few mouthfuls of rice. I didn't expect that this ordinary-looking lump could be such a good thing!"

Zhu Yuanzhang savored the taste of his first bite.

I couldn't help but take another bite. While chewing, my expression froze, my brows slightly furrowed as if I was deep in thought...

Jiang Li didn't know the origin and cause of this thing, and neither did Lu Wei, but he knew it clearly. He also heard clearly what Zhu Yunhuan said about this thing that night.

"A tremendous achievement... This means this thing is very useful."

"It tastes good, but even if it were a delicacy from the Heavenly Palace, it wouldn't be worthy of being called a heavenly deed..."

"Does it have medicinal value? Or... can one be equivalent to two bowls of rice?"

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered secretly in his heart, and felt that he seemed to be about to grasp the answer. He even forgot to chew the second bite of sweet potato in his mouth.
