The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 697

[Chapter 697 Roasted Sweet Potatoes]

In the eyes of Emperor Chu, this was impossible.

But then he thought about it.

These farmers may not have eaten anything good at all.

It is human nature to find these sweet potatoes delicious.

After all, they haven’t eaten anything good at all.

How do you know what is delicious and what is not?

Thinking of this, Emperor Chu felt relieved.

Because what he needs is not something delicious, but something that can be swallowed and used as food.

As long as these farmers find it delicious, that’s enough.

He thought so, with a happy smile on his face, and was about to say something when he heard the farmer say: “Your Majesty, would you like to taste these sweet potatoes?”

Emperor Chu was slightly startled, and then a smile appeared on his face, He said calmly: “Okay, I have never tasted the taste of sweet potatoes.”

Liu Cheng next to him heard this, but there was hesitation on his face. He stood next to Emperor Chu, thought about it, and decided He said: “Your Majesty, after all, these sweet potatoes are still unclean, you still are.”

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Emperor Chu.

“I dug these sweet potatoes from the ground myself. Could it be that I would harm myself?”

When Liu Cheng heard this, he didn’t dare to say anything.

Because he knew in his heart that the purpose of Emperor Chu’s trip to Jiangnan was this sweet potato.

If you insist on blocking it, there will definitely be problems.

Therefore, he said nothing more and sent someone to find a bucket of water.

Then wash the sweet potatoes repeatedly.

When there was no more mud left, he cut it into small pieces with a knife, like fruit, and handed them to Emperor Chu.

Emperor Chu originally wanted to eat it directly like those farmers, but when he saw this scene, he didn’t say anything.

I picked up a random piece and tasted it.

Instantly, his expression changed.

Is this sweet potato just like that fruit?

Does it taste sweet and delicious?

So, wouldn’t it be enough to eat it raw?

With this surprised expression on his face, Emperor Chu picked up another piece and ate it.

His expression changed again.

Not only does it taste sweet and delicious, but it is also very anti-hungry.

He only ate two pieces and felt full.

Liu Cheng next to him was a little worried when he saw this scene.

Your Majesty, you won’t have any problems eating it, right?

Fortunately, as

he was thinking this, Emperor Chu had already picked up the third piece.

Since His Majesty has already eaten the third piece, it means there is no problem.

Liu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.

However, there were some changes in Emperor Chu’s expression.

He looked at Liu Cheng and ordered: “Go and set up a pot. I want to taste what the sweet potatoes will taste like after they are boiled into porridge.

In addition, send someone to roast two more sweet potatoes. I also want to taste them.” Taste! “

Where is this food to satisfy hunger?

Simply delicious!

Even Emperor Chu had tasted such sweet food for the first time.

The most important thing is that these sweet potatoes have not been processed in any way!

It would be fine if it tasted like this after being processed by the chefs in the imperial kitchen.

It has not been processed in any way, it is just dug out of the ground and it tastes like this.

Emperor Chu no longer knew what to say.

All I can say is that Fang Xiu has truly discovered a treasure!

Liu Cheng was very surprised when he saw this scene.

This sweet potato is so delicious?

Your Majesty is so full of praise?

Isn’t that a bit too exaggerated?

Although he had doubts in his heart, he didn’t say anything and immediately sent people to look for the pot.

Fortunately, pots were already prepared on the carriage.

After a while, the pot was set up.

Then

the imperial chef who followed the convoy also came.

Looking at Emperor Chu, he stood upright, bowed respectfully, and asked: “Your Majesty, how should I make these sweet potatoes?”

If he was selected, he would go to the south of the Yangtze River with Emperor Chu.

Naturally, this imperial chef has some real abilities.

He is also the best cook in the imperial kitchen.

After spending so long in the imperial dining room, he must know what the emperor likes to eat.

However, at this moment, he really didn’t dare to make any decisions.

Because this was the first time he had seen this sweet potato, and he didn’t even know what it tasted like or how to cook it. How could he possibly know?

Therefore, I had to ask Emperor Chu.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Chu waved his hand and said casually: “You don’t have to do anything, just add some water, add some rice, and make porridge. Don’t add anything else.”

“But your Majesty,”

from the imperial kitchen. The imperial chef opened his mouth, wanting to say something else.

But just as he opened his mouth, he heard Emperor Chu say: “Of course I know that adding some seasonings will make this porridge more delicious, but I want to taste the sweet potato itself, as long as it is simple. So-

called

Everyone can see that “

the great truth leads to simplicity” .

At this moment, Emperor Chu was in a very good mood.

Because in the past, when Emperor Chu was in a bad mood, he would often be reluctant to speak.

But now that he can talk so much about how to make porridge, he must be in a good mood.

After hearing this, the imperial chef also understood.

For an imperial chef like him, making porridge is really a simple matter.

This sweet potato looks not much different from a pear.

How to cook porridge with pears now?

Just pay attention to the heat.

With this thought in mind, he started to light a fire.

On the other side, the roasted sweet potatoes have been finished.

Emperor Chu looked at the delicious-looking roasted sweet potatoes and asked, “Why haven’t you brought them up yet?”

The soldier showed hesitation on his face and replied, “Your Majesty, these sweet potatoes are a bit too hot. “I

‘m worried about my humble position.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Emperor Chu nodded and was about to see how the porridge would turn out.

The farmer next to him spoke up: “Your Majesty, these roasted sweet potatoes only taste good when they are hot. If they cool down, they will not taste good and they will not have the taste of roasted sweet potatoes.

Your Majesty, this is also our experience. “

After hearing this, Emperor Chu was slightly startled, then a smile appeared on his face and he said only one word: “Okay!”

Then he turned to look at the soldier holding the roasted sweet potato and said, “Wrap it in paper and take it. “Give me a taste.”

“Here.”

When the soldier heard this, he hesitated and did not dare to agree, but looked at Liu Cheng.

Liu Cheng was also very hesitant and didn’t know what to do.

When Emperor Chu saw this scene, he frowned slightly and said coldly: “Is it possible that I have reached an age where I can’t even eat hot food?

Then why should I go to Jiangnan?”

When the soldier heard this, I know that if this continues, His Majesty will definitely be angry.

So, not daring to hesitate any longer, he went to find paper, wrapped part of the sweet potato, and presented it to the Emperor of Chu.

“Your Majesty, be careful not to burn it.”

Emperor Chu reached out to take the sweet potato and carefully took a small bite.

His face changed instantly!
