Chapter 399 The food-eating officials of Daqin
Just when the envoys from Rome and Carthage rushed to Xianyang City with great anxiety, the monarchs and ministers of Great Qin happily gathered in Yuxuan Pavilion to drink Xiao Xiner's full moon wine.
Although Daqin's custom is to celebrate the birth of a boy with wine, for Ying Yu, patriarchy must be a big deal.
The daughter is so cute and beautiful, and she will be more well-behaved and sensible when she grows up in the future. Isn't she a sweet little padded jacket?
Moreover, I have already mentioned matters such as grain refining and wine making with the courtiers before, so I just took this opportunity to show them to the courtiers.
As for the funds, the Romans and the Carthaginians will immediately compete to send money to Daqin.
"Sure enough, the food here is the most delicious!"
"The last time I came to drink at His Royal Highness's residence, it took me a long time to think about it when I went back. The color and aroma of the dishes this time are better than last time, and the taste is definitely not bad."
"Aren't you talking nonsense, the cooks in His Royal Highness's house are better than the chefs in the first floor of the world, can this food not be delicious?"
"Compared with the food, the old man cares more about the wine on the table. You can see that the color of this wine is as clear as water, with a mellow aroma. It is comparable to the drunken wine in the old man's house."
"Okay, everyone, stop the saliva, don't be ashamed in front of His Majesty."
All the officials sat down, looked at the delicious food and wine on the table, and swallowed their saliva one by one.
However, Yingzheng, the emperor, hadn't moved his chopsticks yet, so they could only watch.
Seeing the performance of the officials, Ying Zheng smiled!
Although the imperial chef often comes to the Prince's Mansion to learn and ask for advice, but if you really want to enjoy delicious food, you have to come in person.
Ying Yu's gourmet taste is recognized as the number one in the entire court, and he can introduce new dishes every time, which makes people look forward to it.
"Everyone, wait a moment, this main dish needs to be cooked slowly to produce its flavor.
"And the prince believes that you can gain a lot from this main dish."
Ying Yu smiled and carried Xiao Xin'er, who was dressed up like a porcelain doll, into the hall.
"Harvest? Could His Royal Highness tell me in advance what kind of delicacy this main dish is?"
Nesten couldn't help asking curiously.
Based on his understanding of Ying Yu, it can be said that this dish must be of great use to the country and the people.
"You'll know soon enough."
Ying Yu smiled and sold off.
The courtiers were all speechless for a moment, but there was nothing they could do.
Who let others be princes, they are courtiers.
As for Ying Zheng, he was happily teasing his little granddaughter at the moment, looking like a kind grandfather, not paying attention to these details at all.
Finally, in the expectation of many courtiers, the steaming hot main course with an attractive aroma was brought to the table.
"Why are there two main courses?"
"One of them seems to be pork stewed noodles?"
"No, this is not noodles. The noodles cannot be so crystal clear, like crystal."
"As for the other one, it's covered, so it's not visible yet."
The courtiers speculated for a long time, and finally all their eyes fell on Ying Yu.
"This first main course is called Pork Stewed Vermicelli."
"The so-called vermicelli is a product made from rice, sweet potatoes or potatoes after grinding and sedimentation. As for the taste, you will know after trying it."
Ying Yu served Ying Zheng a bowl in person, and said with a smile.
As for the courtiers, they naturally did it themselves and had enough food and clothing.
"That's right, the vermicelli tastes smoother and more chewy than noodles, especially after soaking up the soup, it's even more delicious than pork."
Ying Zheng took a sip, and a look of surprise flashed across his face.
He originally preferred meat, and didn't like rice and potatoes very much.
Even sweet potatoes are processed into dried sweet potatoes, and only occasionally eaten as snacks.
But I didn't expect that the processed vermicelli would be so delicious.
Ying Zheng couldn't help but ate half a bowl more.
"This vermicelli is really delicious."
"It is conceivable that once vermicelli is introduced to the market, it will definitely be wildly sought after by the common people and become an upstart on my Daqin table."
"Especially as a main course for New Years and festivals, it is really suitable."
"Isn't it? Nowadays, the people of Daqin, who are a little hardworking, will raise a pig or two at home. During the Chinese New Year, come to this stewed pork vermicelli, and the taste of the New Year will be full in an instant!"
"I just don't know how the vermicelli is made, whether it can be mass-produced, and whether the workshop needs a joint venture?"
All the officials were amazed at what they ate one by one, like Meng Yi and others with quick brains, they could directly see the way of business.
Although according to Ying Yu's practice, when facing the products of the people of Daqin, they will follow the path of small profits and high sales, but the quantity cannot be supported.
The entire Great Qin now has a population of 3000 million in its own land alone, and with the addition of overseas territories, the population is close to 4000 million.
Moreover, Daqin has always been the vane of the world. Once vermicelli becomes popular in Daqin, it will soon sell well all over the world.
Exports have always been a source of huge profits.
Under the guidance of Ying Yu and driven by the huge export interests, the current courtiers of the Great Qin Dynasty are very familiar with all kinds of business operations, and no one will regard business as a small way anymore.
Even Ying Zheng is no exception.
Although Neiku is much richer now than it used to be, no one would mind being richer.
Yingzheng has always planned to travel around the world after abdicating the throne, witnessing the glory of the Great Qin Dynasty that never sets with his own eyes.
And these are inseparable from the support of money.
After living a life of abundance, it is really difficult to live the days of poverty in the past.
"This vermicelli workshop is actually not difficult to build at all. You just need to find an area with rich water resources and use water to drive the water mill to produce it in large quantities."
"As for the distribution of shares, according to the previous practice, the prince will leave [-]% for you!"
Ying Yu smiled and waved his hands.
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness!"
Hearing this, all the officials were overjoyed and got up quickly to thank them all!
[-]% of the shares may seem small, but in terms of the total amount, it is quite good.
After being distributed by a group of officials, it falls to each household, which can also bring good extra income every year.
In a good mood, the vermicelli tastes even more delicious.
"By the way, His Royal Highness, what is this other staple food?"
Relying on the reaction speed honed by many years of martial arts training, Wang Jian snatched the last bit of vermicelli into his bowl, and then said expectantly.
Others also looked over one after another.
According to the usual practice, this finale will definitely be better than the first one.
"This dish is related to the hero who is currently fighting against the locust plague!"
Ying Yu smiled and picked up the lid of the food box to reveal the mystery.
The eyes of all the officials suddenly lit up.
It's so tempting! .
