Chapter 129 Hot Pot Night, the Beginning of Animal Husbandry

Chapter 129 Hot Pot Night, the Beginning of Animal Husbandry

When An Yue went to take over the barren land, the handover ambassador of Qian Kingdom was Zhao Wanjun's father, Zhao Tianya.

This loyal Lord Zhao obviously knew that Emperor Qian would not live long, and he always had a sad look on his face.

The Qian Kingdom had dozens of chariots and a mighty army of several hundred people.

To show his sincerity, Emperor Anyue rode on the Emperor Luan, brought with him Gu Jian and other guards, and personally came to the wasteland to talk with Zhao Tianya.

After some formalities, Zhao Tianya respectfully presented some seals and orders, as well as a map of the wasteland.

The Qian State troops held their flags high, with some curious people following behind them from a distance.

In the hearts of the people of Qian Kingdom, they only knew that there was an Anyue Kingdom in the desert, separated by a land of barren grass.

I also know that Anyue is on good terms with the Qian Kingdom, and has shed blood and fought battles for the Qian Kingdom.

Therefore, when Emperor Qian ceded a piece of wasteland to Anyue, the people of Qian did not show much emotional resistance.

But only those in the know know that the wasteland is a completely unowned land.

Such a large-scale publicity is just to give the people of Qian Kingdom some psychological cushion.

Let Anyue continue to appear in the public vision of Qian Country.

Afterwards, more people from Anyue will come to the barren land to build homes and live together with the people of Qian Kingdom.

All of this is to prevent the people of Qian Kingdom from being too resistant to Anyue.

After all, Emperor Qian doesn’t have much time left.

He didn't have time to give the people time to slowly adapt to An Yue's approach.

The soldiers who came to Anyue to take over stood straight with solemn expressions on their faces, but they did not appear too indifferent when facing the Qian Kingdom's troops.

After the handover was completed, the people of Qian State who followed deeply remembered those Anyue soldiers who stood like green pines.

That night, spring insects were chirping and the sky was overcast and rain was falling.

In Anyue Palace.

Emperor Anyue, Li Yuan, Zhang Tiansheng, Zheng Taibiao, Li Xiaoan, and Gu Jian sat around a table.

Li Yuan made a big round iron pot with his hands, put some meat in it, picked some vegetables, and started a hot pot.

There was a chilly breeze and gentle rain outside the palace, but inside it was warm and cozy.

By the way, ginger and garlic are called horseradish and garlic in this strange world.

Zheng Tai Biao followed Li Yuan's description and searched repeatedly before he finally found it.

The base ingredients for the hot pot soup were also purchased by Zheng Tai Biao.

After Li Yuan's immortal power of grinding and blending, this delicious hot pot soup base was made.

The dipping sauce is also delicious, with ginger, garlic, salt, sugar and some raw vinegar.

Pour another spoonful of hot oil.

The taste is not excellent, but it is definitely novel in this world.

Zhang Tiansheng picked up a small piece of vegetable leaf, put it in his mouth, and tasted this new and delicious taste with great satisfaction.

The food on earth is certainly not as good as the delicacies from the immortal world.

But this novel mixture of sauces, combined with ginger, garlic and watercress, is truly refreshing.

Emperor Anyue also had a good appetite and praised the food endlessly.

Zheng Tai Biao and Li Xiaoan even started fighting over the meat in the pot.

Gu Jian sat at the table, feeling very restrained. If it wasn't for Li Yuan's request, he wouldn't have dared to eat and drink at the same table with the others.

Every time he picked up something with chopsticks, he would look at Emperor Anyue's expression, and even secretly glance at Li Yuan and the others.

"Forget it... Gu Jian, take some food and eat in the side hall."

"Lord Mountain God, Master Zhang, and the great monster Biao are all here. I will be fine."

Emperor Anyue held his forehead with his hand and smiled bitterly, feeling a little uncomfortable being stared at.

Gu Jian felt as if he had been pardoned. A trace of embarrassment flashed across his stern face. He picked up some vegetable leaves, bowed to the few people, and left as if escaping.

Several people looked at each other, shook their heads and chuckled. The atmosphere was very harmonious.

Li Yuan rarely gets to taste the flavor that is deeply buried in his memory, and he misses it very much.

But he couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the clear, white, and fragrant bottom of the pot.

Emperor Anyue ate a piece of meat gracefully and asked, "Why is the mountain god sighing?"

Zhang Tiansheng also glanced over.

Li Yuan pointed at the bottom of the pot: "It would be better if there were chili peppers."

"The clear soup is delicious, but I want to eat the hot and spicy red soup..."

"Hot pot without chili is like a soulless pot."

Several people looked at each other, none of them had any idea what Li Yuan was talking about.

Only Zhang Tiansheng's eyes flickered slightly.

"Is it a fruit with white flowers, red color and spicy taste?"

Li Yuan stared:

"Yeah!"

"Have you seen Lao Zhang?"

Zhang Tiansheng blinked slightly:

"I have seen this thing before when I traveled across the sea."

"This plant only grows overseas, but not here."

Li Yuan was slightly disappointed.

"Then there's no way."

"We can only see if there is a chance to get it in the future."

Anshan is located inland, deep in this vast land, thousands of miles away from the ocean.

A few people continued to eat hotpot and enjoyed it with gusto.

Zheng Tai Biao and Li Xiaoan had their mouths full of oil and stared at the meat in the pot.

Zhang Tiansheng took a bite, paused for a moment, and looked at the fragrant soup base, feeling very curious.

Will that chili pepper really taste good if you put it into the pot?

But in overseas places, people use this thing to treat injuries and reduce inflammation!

Can that thing be eaten?

I always feel that it would be fun to get the chili peppers over?

Hmm...Think again, think again...

Emperor Anyue slowly talked to Li Yuan about the wasteland.

Li Yuan believes that this will be a great opportunity for Anyue to develop animal husbandry.

Although the State of Qian was rich, it did not attach importance to animal husbandry, and the people of Qian were unwilling to redevelop the wasteland, resulting in this vast area of ​​wasteland remaining abandoned.

Now, it can bring huge benefits to An Yue.

Emperor Anyue pondered for a moment, saying that Anyue's animal husbandry technology was not much better and was far inferior to those nomadic countries.

However, if we continue to develop along this path, continue to study, and pay attention to it, we will always be able to achieve results.

Li Yuan suggested that Anyue focus on raising four animals: cattle, sheep, chickens and pigs.

In addition, Li Yuan told Emperor Anyue which niche parts of these animals can be eaten, how to eat them, etc., and he talked in great detail.

According to Li Yuan, these creatures are full of treasures and can be used for more than just meat.

Chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep are fine, but raising pigs...

Emperor Anyue said: Pork meat is fishy, ​​grows slowly, and has a fierce temperament, and is not as good as cattle, sheep, chickens, and ducks.

But Li Yuan said: Pigs are definitely the most cost-effective option among these farmed animals!

Emperor Anyue was skeptical, but he was also prepared to ask someone to get some piglets back for Li Yuan to try.

Everyone enjoyed the hotpot very much.

Zheng Tai Biao and Li Xiaoan held their stomachs, burped, and walked out side by side.

The original form of the Shotabiu is a huge ferocious beast with an astonishing appetite. One person can eat dozens of kilograms of meat.

The bottom of the pot was added with soup more than ten times.

Zhang Tiansheng left with a frown on his face, his fingers moving slightly.

A red 'fruit' seemed to penetrate the endless space, looming in his hand.

The Emperor of Heaven is still thinking about whether he should try hot pot next time...

Emperor Anyue was also quite full.

But he still returned to the palace and asked people to arrange the livestock matters.

Then he was helped back to his bedroom by the queen who came to visit him.

Emperor Anyue was very happy and said that next time the royal family had a dinner, he would definitely prepare hotpot for his children and royal relatives to have a taste.
