Chapter 411 Even eating and taking
Everyone gathered around the table to discuss the matter. Zheng Sisi quickly reminded them, "Your Majesty, please eat first. It won't taste good if it gets cold."
Emperor Yongshun also reacted, with a look of relief on his face, and said excitedly: "My dear ministers, today the county lord's mansion has a bumper harvest of sweet potatoes, which means that my Great Yue Kingdom has also had a bumper harvest of sweet potatoes!
All this is inseparable from the efforts and contributions of Anping County Lord! She not only brought such delicious food, but also gave us hope for the future. Therefore, we should express our heartfelt thanks to Anping County Lord! "
All the ministers echoed and thanked Zheng Sisi. Zheng Sisi said embarrassedly: "You are all too flattering. Anping only knows a few tricks of farming. I don't deserve your praise. Anping only hopes that Dai Yue will be rich and prosperous!"
Emperor Yongshun was so excited by Zheng Sisi's words that he stood up and said, "Good! Anping said it well. Let us work together to make Dai Viet rich, strong and prosperous!"
"The country is rich and the people are strong, and the country is prosperous!"
"The country is rich and the people are strong, and the country is prosperous!"
The crowd was extremely excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and they shouted those few words as if they were slogans.
After finally having a meal, the praises came again.
"Well, this baked sweet potato is delicious. It has a nice aroma, is soft and sticky, doesn't require much chewing, and is filling. It's delicious, delicious!"
"What kind of dish is this, Princess Anping? Is it a new dish?"
Zheng Sisi replied, "This is winter melon, a new vegetable harvested yesterday."
"Princess Anping, what is this red dish? It's soft and sticky, and very sweet."
Zheng Sisi said: "This is steamed pumpkin, which is also a new vegetable harvested yesterday."
"Princess Anping, when will you send all these new vegetables to the market to sell so that I can ask people in the mansion to buy them."
Zheng Sisi: "It will take two days, everyone should wait a little longer."
"This sweet potato porridge is so delicious, it makes the porridge sweet."
"........."
Zheng Sisi controlled the number of sweet potatoes today. Each person had a roasted sweet potato and a steamed sweet potato, as well as sweet potato porridge and sweet potato soup, so that everyone had enough to eat without having too much. She didn't want to experience the tragic situation of yesterday again.
There were many of Yingbinlou’s signature dishes on the table, and this meal successfully filled everyone up.
Master He also sat back in his chair, stroking his stomach with both hands. He finally realized that it was a wise move for everyone not to drink tea just now. It was really delicious. He really missed a good opportunity by not coming last time!
"Hiccup~~"
"Burp~~I feel better!"
Someone said: "This chair designed by Anping County Lady is so thoughtful. After eating too much, you can lean on the back of the chair to rest, hehe!"
"Don't tell me, it's really like that. It's quite comfortable."
When everyone had rested for a while, the maids brought in several large bowls of popcorn, one bowl on each table. The beautiful appearance of the popcorn amazed everyone again.
After eating popcorn, the maids brought in watermelon.
The watermelons in the various prefectures had long been gone, but now that they were seen, everyone was eager to eat them again. This is a rare commodity, and if it had not been found in the back garden of the Anping County Lord, it might have to wait until next year to eat it.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they decided to leave, as they still had official business to attend to.
Zheng Sisi arranged for people to bring out several winter melons and pumpkins. She asked the guards to cut the two vegetables into several large pieces and gave two pieces to each minister, making everyone so happy that they were grinning.
While everyone was waiting to divide the melon, Duke Zheng took Emperor Yongshun to the side room to discuss something, and Zheng Sisi ignored them.
She and Sheng Zhen were seeing off the ministers. The coachmen waiting outside saw their masters coming out with something in each hand, and they all looked at them in confusion, not knowing what their masters were doing.
When someone came to him, he said, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and continue. We have delicious food tonight, haha."
Only then did they realize that when the master came to the county lady's residence to have a meal, he could eat and take things with him.
When they heard that it was winter melon and pumpkin, everyone understood, and they had just eaten these two dishes. Every time they went out with their master, they would go out to find food by themselves.
So they came to the county lady's residence, which even prepared meals for them. The food was better than what the stewards in the mansion ate, and they loved it very much.
In the side room, Emperor Yongshun and Duke Zheng Laoguo were arguing. Duke Zheng Laoguo insisted on retiring, but Emperor Yongshun said that it was not the right time yet and he disagreed.
If Duke Zheng disagreed, he would claim to be ill and not attend court. Emperor Yongshun pressed him on why he suddenly wanted to retire, and he said he wanted to accompany his granddaughter to the farm.
Finally, Duke Zheng Lao contributed the white wine he had obtained from his granddaughter, and Emperor Yongshun agreed to let him take a two-month leave.
Emperor Yongshun happily returned to the palace with the jar of strong liquor, a big winter melon and a big pumpkin.
