Chapter 231 Do you want to go to the Imperial Study?

"You came just in time."

Inside the palace, Yun Shu was having someone place all the prepared dishes on the table.
Seeing Yun Chuhuan running in with excitement in his eyes, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly:
"The dish has just been prepared and is at its best taste. Would you like to try it?"

"Thank you, Fifth Sister. You are really the best sister in the world!"

After skillfully farting, Yun Chuhuan picked up the chopsticks and took the lead in picking up some of the most ordinary-looking spicy and sour potato shreds.

"this is……"

Yun Shu looked at where he had placed his chopsticks. He wanted to remind him that this was the last dish that had just come out of the pot and might be a little hot.
But before he could finish his words, Yun Chuhuan had already eaten the potato shreds with his chopsticks.

“This…ho…ha…”

Yun Chuhuan was caught off guard and blew out two breaths with his mouth open. He chewed it twice in a panic and swallowed it whole.

"This is quite refreshing, not bad!"

Yun Shu: “…”

It doesn't have to be this way.

Shaking his head helplessly, Yun Shu pointed to the beef brisket stewed with potatoes, cumin potato and pork slices, stir-fried potato shreds, dry-pot potato chips, and French fries on the side:

"These dishes were cooked earlier than the one you just had. Want to try some?"

"Mmmmmmm!"

When it comes to eating, what does Yun Chuhuan need Yun Shu to say?
Except for the initial burn, his mouth basically never stopped!
With a piece of stir-fried potato shreds in his mouth, his eyes were already fixed on the cumin potato and pork slices next to it.

After the meal, he didn't touch much of the rice in front of him, but most of the dishes on the table went into his stomach.

When he finally couldn't hold his stomach any longer, his eyes were still staring at the remaining stir-fried potato shreds with regret.

"Hiccup~~~"

Yun Shu: “…”

The prince was a good person, but he was treated like a refugee.

"Fifth sister, you are my God!"

Not caring about the speechless look in Yun Shu's eyes, Yun Chuhuan first gave Yun Shu a thumbs up using the words he learned from the Beijing Weekly.

Then, holding her bulging belly, she asked curiously:
"Why have I never eaten these dishes before? What are they made of?"

Yun Shu, who was also full, propped his chin with one hand and said lazily:

"The five pots of flowers you gave me before."

"flower??"

Yun Chuhuan was stunned and a little dumbfounded:
"Did I just eat flowers?"

"To be precise, it's not the flowers, but the fruits that grow under the flowers and are buried in the mud. I named them potatoes."

Seeing the expression on Yun Chuhuan's face change from naive to sudden realization, and then to excitement,

Yun Shu poured a basin of cold water on him again:

"But after today, you probably won't be able to eat it anymore."

"Why?!"

As expected, when Yun Chuhuan heard that he would not be able to eat the food he had just fallen in love with today, he immediately became anxious:

"Is it because you, Fifth Sister, have already finished your meal?
My mother still has five basins!"

“I haven’t finished eating yet.”

Yun Shu explained slowly:

“But now there are only a few pots in total throughout the day.

If you eat it all, even the seeds will be gone.

If you want to eat it again in the future, you have to save it as seeds this year. Only in this way can you grow more next year."

“This problem is easy to solve!”

Yun Chuhuan said without thinking:
"Isn't it okay for me to have the Liu family caravan go out to sea again and bring the goods back next year?"

"It really doesn't work." Yun Shu shrugged.

"I read in a book before that something like this fruit is a seed, and it usually can't be kept for a long time. If you keep it for a little while longer, it will sprout.

Once it sprouts, it becomes poisonous and can no longer be eaten.

Therefore, it is impossible to simply ask the caravan to bring back a bunch of fully grown ones next year.

As for bringing back flowers like this year...

A smaller quantity would be fine, but a larger quantity is equally impossible.

After all, seawater cannot water flowers, and naturally, not many flowers can be grown on a ship."

As Yun Shu spoke, he saw Yun Chuhuan hesitated and seemed to want to fight for it again.
He added the last sentence slowly:
"The most important thing is that Father will definitely keep these seeds."

"Father?"

Yun Chuhuan was confused again:
"Father also likes to eat this?"

"I don't know yet whether Father likes to eat it, but he will definitely like this seed."

Yun Shu slowly stood up:

"Going to the imperial kitchen?"

"Why are you going to the imperial kitchen?"

Yun Chuhuan was still unhappy that he still had potatoes but couldn't eat them.

When he heard the words "Imperial Kitchen", he thought of the potatoes he would not be able to eat anymore.

The expression on his face became more and more sour:
"I'm not going!"

Damn father! Not only did he fine him money, he also didn't let him eat potatoes!

"Are you sure you don't want to go?"

The expression on this naughty kid's face was too obvious. Yun Shu could guess what he was thinking without even asking.
He raised his eyebrows jokingly:
"I have already sent someone to the Imperial Study to report to Father. His lunch today... is a potato feast."

"?"

"What do you mean?"

Yun Chuhuan's ears suddenly perked up:

"Father, are you going to have the same food we just had for lunch today?"

"more or less."

Yun Shu nodded:
"Fortunately, my father is quite frugal and only has eight dishes and one soup for each meal. Otherwise, if it was like the previous dynasty, and the emperor's regulations required forty-eight dishes per meal, I really can't think of so many dishes made with potatoes right now."

"..."

So, the emperor will have three new dishes that he has never tasted before?

Yun Chuhuan stood up immediately:

"Isn't it the imperial kitchen? Oh my gosh! Hiccup!"

……

He walked from Fengyang Palace to the imperial kitchen, and personally watched the imperial chef prepare eight dishes and one soup according to Yunshu's instructions. Then he took the nine dishes in total to the imperial study.

After all this trouble,

Yun Chuhuan's stomach was already bulging, and it seemed that he could eat a lot more.

Following Yun Shu into the imperial study, he rubbed his hands impatiently without even waiting for Emperor Xuanwu to speak:

"Father, let's eat quickly!"

Emperor Xuanwu: “?”

When he heard Yun Shu send someone to ask him if she could arrange lunch today,
He guessed that she was coming up with some new dish.

But I didn't expect that there was someone who came here specifically to eat for free?
Brat!
Xiaowu specially prepared lunch for him, his father, so what does this kid have to do with it?
Glancing at Yun Chuhuan with a look that was neither nose nor eyes, Emperor Xuanwu snorted cautiously:

"What are you doing in my imperial study?"
