Chapter 142: Ying Zheng tastes sugar cane

The output of Wuliangye is actually not low. There is only one reason why Xiaozhengtai said it is extremely precious.

Sell ​​high price!

Those palace ministers and dignitaries all have a lot of money, and the wine sold to them must be of high quality and precious, so as to highlight their differences!

If the annual output is the same as running water, they will not think it is precious and will not be willing to pay such a high price!

According to the agreement, the winery will send a batch of Wuliangye to Ying Zheng every month. Since the output is very small, he will never give it out if it is not a very important banquet!

Today, Xiao Zhengtai led the Flying Eagles to a complete victory. Ying Zheng gritted his teeth and took out a few jars!

The concentration of Wuliangye was very high. While the soldiers drank freely, they also controlled the measure appropriately and did not dare to get drunk in front of the emperor!

After the banquet was over and the sun was setting, all the soldiers went home to visit their relatives. After returning to the palace to put down her personal belongings, the young lady happily ran to Yuxiu Palace to find Lian'er with two jars of canned lychees in her arms!

Yuxiu Palace was assigned to Lian'er by Ying Zheng to live alone. It was the closest to his dormitory and had the best feng shui.

"Mother...Mother...!"

The last time the two met was before the expedition, when his mother saw him off.

It’s been over a month since I last saw you!

He suddenly realized that it would be better to be outside the palace after entering the palace, and the two of them could always be together.

After entering the palace, he was troubled by messy things during the day. When he was free at night, he wanted to go to his mother, but was turned away by Ying Zheng. You don't need to think about it to know what's going on!

He had no choice but to go find his mother when it was just getting dark.

"Feiyu?"

Hearing her son's childish yet familiar voice, Lian'er hurried to the door to greet her, with an excited look on her face, "Feiyu, you are finally back, my mother is worried to death!"

"I told you a long time ago that this boy is very good, but you just don't believe it!"

Immediately afterwards, the old man Ying Zheng's voice sounded in the house.

Hearing that discordant voice, Xiao Zhengtai's face suddenly dropped!

I just saw that this old guy drank a lot of wine, shouldn't he go to the bedroom to rest at this time? Why did he come to his mother again?

"Father is here too!"

"Well, I knew that your boy would definitely come here, and I'm here to wait for you!"

Ying Zheng smiled and nodded.

"What's that in your hand?"

Seeing Xiao Zhengtai holding the clay pot with both hands, Ying Zheng's intuition told him that there must be something good inside.

This kid is like an elf, he has some weird things in his mind, and he will come up with something new every once in a while!

I haven’t seen you for more than a month, Bao Buqi has come up with something new again!

"This is called canned lychee. It is made from lychee, a specialty of Lingnan. It is very delicious. I brought it back specially for my mother...well...and for my father!"

Xiao Zhengtai chuckled.

They brought back a lot of canned lychees this time. After arriving in Xianyang, he only kept ten cans for himself, and the rest were divided among the soldiers of the Flying Eagles!

"litchi?"

Lian'er had never heard of it before. She raised her eyebrows and asked suspiciously.

Ying Zheng, on the other hand, was full of surprise, "I know about lychees. They grow in Lingnan and are sweet and juicy. But because they are juicy, they are difficult to preserve. Are you sure the ones you brought back are lychees?"

"Of course, it is indeed difficult to preserve lychees, but no matter how difficult it is to preserve, I can't help it!"

Xiao Zhengtai put the jar in his hand on the table in the room with a slight satisfaction, and opened the seal of the jar.

The fragrance of lychees wafted out immediately.

"Huh? It smells so good!"

Lian'er was intoxicated.

Little Shota found two wooden spoons and handed them to the two of them!

Ying Zheng was well-informed and had heard the county guards in Lingnan mention lychees, but this was his first time seeing them.

Looking at the white, tender and fragrant lychees in the jar, saliva secretes in the mouth unconsciously!

"Mom, please try it, it tastes really good!"

"good!"

Lian'er nodded, took a spoonful from the jar, and immediately narrowed her eyes, "Yeah! It's sweet, smooth, and delicious!"

"The taste is indeed not bad, it is more than a little bit better than the fruits in Guanzhong!"

Ying Zheng also nodded approvingly.

He feels that he has eaten a lot of delicious food over the years.

But in the six months since he met Xiao Zhengtai, his understanding has been completely overturned.

Now think about what I ate before!

Ever since, Ying Zheng kept scooping spoonful after spoonful into his mouth, unable to stop!

The Lingnan County Sheriff had previously reported that there is a kind of fruit called lychee in Lingnan, but it will rot and deteriorate within two days after being picked, so it cannot be brought to Xianyang.

Unexpectedly, he would be able to eat this rare fruit one day!

"Father, please eat slowly!"

Seeing that a can of lychees was about to be eaten by this old guy, Mr. Shota quickly reminded him.

Didn’t this old guy eat at the banquet just now? How could he still eat so much?

"Ah? Ah! Okay, okay!"

Realizing that he had lost his composure, Ying Zheng blushed and nodded awkwardly.

No way, this stuff is so delicious!

"What secret recipe did your kid use to bring lychees back from distant Lingnan?"

While enjoying the delicious food, Ying Zheng also did not forget to learn from the experience.

"It's actually very simple. In addition to lychees, Lingnan also has a plant called sugarcane. This plant has a high sugar content and can be boiled to produce white sugar. Then the white sugar and lychees are boiled together and canned and sealed!"

Mr. Shota introduced the whole process.

"sugar cane?"

Ying Zheng didn't know much about it, after all, this thing was not widely used in this era.

"That's right, the sugar made from sugarcane is soft and sweet, much better than today's caramel!"

"Is it possible to plant sugar cane in Guanzhong?"

"absolutely okay!"

"Haha, okay, when spring begins, I will order Lingnan to send a batch of sugarcane seedlings to Xianyang and spread them throughout Guanzhong!"

Although the candy has a sweet taste, it is definitely not as sweet as what Ying Zheng is eating now.

And increasing the types of crops can also increase people's income. It can be said to be the best of both worlds!

"After autumn, I ordered people to pick all the mature potatoes, peppers, corn and other crops. Next year, we can spread them throughout the Qin Dynasty!" Ying Zheng said excitedly.

"Okay! By next autumn, the people of my country, Qin, will be able to have a surplus of food in every household, and they will pay more taxes!"

Xiao Zhengtai nodded with satisfaction.

Now that we have corn and potatoes, it will be great if the system brother can provide some hybrid rice seeds.

"You are right, the country can only become rich if the people are rich!"

Through selling paper and salt in the past six months, Ying Zheng also realized the huge benefits that being a businessman brings.

In the past, asking the treasury to pay some money was more difficult than asking them to eat shit. They repeatedly submitted letters to stop the construction of Afang Palace!

Now that we have salt and paper, there is income coming in every day, financial management is more convenient, and those ministers will no longer push back!
Chapter completed!
