Xidu is not only the commercial capital of the Southern Wilderness countries, but also a famous food capital. Countless mouth-watering foods were born in Xidu and widely circulated throughout the Southern Wilderness.

The easiest one is that the cooking utensils have changed.

In the past, people used cauldrons, pots and pots to cook things, but with the birth of Xiguo iron pots, the cooking methods of the entire Nanhuang have undergone great changes. Because the dishes produced by iron pots taste great, more and more people use iron pots to cook.

Because there are countless foods born in Xiguo. No matter where you come from, you can find your favorite foods. Moreover, the food in Xiguo is constantly innovating. Every time many merchants arrive in Xiguo, except for doing business, the most enjoyable thing is to look for food that you have never eaten in the streets and alleys.

Every time you find something delicious, you will be full of happiness.

Gongsun Wu asked several times about the refreshing fragrance. His stomach had already started to craze. When he heard the child beside him "resolving doubts", he learned that this mouth-watering fragrance was a food called "sweet potato". He immediately became interested and immediately ordered the child to serve it.

Emperor Qi and Jiang Wuxu didn't say much, but instead showed expectation on his face, eager to try.

Sometimes people’s happiness is very simple. Whether it is ordinary people or noble children, it is enough to eat a delicious meal with a good meal!

The children in the winery and teahouse are best at observing their expressions and expressions. Their eyes are very vicious. At first glance, they can see that the three young men in the private room are extraordinary and nobles, so they are very enthusiastic and serve everything at the fastest speed.

After a while, the child came to the table of Emperor Qi and Jiang Wuxu with a tray.

"Come on, the fragrant roasted sweet potatoes! Three young men use them with slightest use!" The child shouted and put three roasted sweet potatoes wrapped in yellow paper in front of Emperor Qi and the other two.

At first glance, the sweet potatoes are burnt yellow and have a bad appearance. Emperor Qi, Jiang Wuxu, and Gongsun Wu couldn't help but frown slightly, a little disappointed. They had eaten many Xiguo delicacies before, most of which are full of color, fragrance and taste. The roasted sweet potatoes are a little different now.

"You guys, you can eat it by wrapping it in yellow paper and gently peeling off the charred yellow skin outside." The waiter smiled quite flatteringly, full of confidence, and was not worried about the bad roasted sweet potatoes at all.

However, the three of them didn't say much, and each started to try it out.

The three of them followed the waiter's instructions and gently peeled the charred skin, and soon the orange-yellow sweet potato meat was revealed. A wisp of hot air rose, and then a refreshing sweetness filled the entire room.

It's this fragrance!

The frowns of Emperor Qi, Jiang Wuxu, and Gongsun Wu suddenly unfolded. Not to mention anything else, the smell of this sweet potato alone would not be much worse.

"Not bad!"

Emperor Zi Qi, Gongsun Wu and Jiang Wuxu tasted it. It was sweet and delicious, with fragrance left on the lips and teeth. When it was eaten while it was hot, the taste was really great. The three of them praised it repeatedly.

"It's good if you like it!" The waiter looked calm and composed, as if he had guessed the reaction of the three of them long ago, without any surprise.

After having a good time, the emperor's son Qi was intrigued and asked, "Children, how much does this sweet potato cost?"

"Your Majesty, this sweet potato is six yuan per country!" The waiter replied.

The emperor and the other two were shocked when they heard this. Six yuan Xi'an currency was just a small amount of money for them, but the price of food alone was not low. Six yuan Xi'an currency was enough to buy dozens of kilograms of rice, which ordinary people could not afford.

Perhaps because he was worried that the customer questioned the price was too expensive, the child quickly explained: "This sweet potato is sweet and delicious, has a great taste, and it is very satisfying. It can be eaten as a staple food. It is a good food!"

Emperor Zi Qi, Jiang Wuxu, and Gongsun Wu heard that sweet potatoes could be used as staple food, and their eyes suddenly lit up. The southern wasteland was short of food and rice was hard to buy. If you could buy a brand new staple food, it would definitely be a great joy.

The sweet potatoes are delicious, they can also prove that they can fill their stomachs. If they can serve as staple food, it will definitely be a great joy.

The emperor's son Qi nodded slightly and asked again: "Is this roasted sweet potato sold in your restaurant or is it so expensive outside? Why is it so expensive to eat merely?"

Generally speaking, high-end restaurants eat at high prices, and many cheap things outside are more expensive. When you arrive at high-end restaurants, the prices will be greatly increased.

Emperor Qi knew this well, so he asked specifically.

When the waiter heard this, he waved his hand and said, "Young Master, our restaurant has not made much money. The price of this sweet potato is already expensive, so we only make a hard-earned money. If you go out to buy it, it is also the same price. The sweet potatoes outside are not as good as ours!"

The waiter sighed and added: "There are still vaguely expensive things, the sweet potatoes produce sparsely, and the taste is so small that it is in short supply. The price naturally rises, and it is not our slaughter of customers!"

When Emperor Zi Qi and Jiang Wuxu heard this, they shook their heads helplessly. They believed that the waiter dared not lie to them. For a moment, the little excitement in their hearts disappeared without a trace.

The output is sparse and the price is expensive. The idea of ​​using sweet potatoes as staple food is extinguished.

"Although this sweet potato is good, it can't become a staple food after all, which is a pity."

Jiang Wuxu shook his head and smiled bitterly, looking at him with a pity. This sweet potato is indeed good, but unfortunately the yield is small and it is not suitable for use as a staple food.

Emperor's son Qi, Gongsun Wu nodded in agreement.

They heard from the waiter that sweet potatoes are produced in a sparse way, and they subconsciously thought that sweet potatoes produce low, far less than rice. If they cannot become a new grain and just serve as a delicious food, their role will be much smaller and they will not arouse the interest of the three imperial princes who are busy with a lot of things.

These three people are all accomplished great things and are quite self-disciplined. After tasting sweet potatoes, Emperor Qi, Gongsun Wu and Jiang Wuxu quickly moved their attention from this delicacy and devoted themselves to the main business.

"We are still quite tight at present. Although the southern barbarians have sufficient sunshine and rice grows very fast, and they rotate crops every year, there are many hilly and highlands in the southern desert, and very few fertile plains. It is probably unrealistic to be self-sufficient in the short term under our rule. We still need to purchase from Xiguo in a large amount!"

"Who said no! Last year, I ordered people to open up land and reclaim land. After working hard for more than half a year, I only reclaimed 10,000 acres of land. Many of the paddy fields were lower-grade fields, with extremely limited output. This little grain was not enough to eat. This year, in order to buy grain, it was another big expense. Oh, Yao Yun will be slaughtered again."

"Brother Wuxu, don't worry. I heard that Xiguo Pawnshop can mortgage loans, and your family is rich. At worst, you can borrow some money from those who do great things. Those who do great things are not careful. How can some gold and silk be better than expanding territory and establishing a large fiefdom!"

"What the emperor said is that with the invasion of the demons, the invasion of the demons, the threat of the demons to us has been reduced a lot. We have also established a foothold in the southern barbarian land. The most scarce thing at present is undoubtedly sufficient food. It is said that the southern barbarian countries are interested in fighting a protracted war with us, and food is essential!"

"Oh, food, just be able to have endless food!"
