Chapter 410: Reward Well
"Boom!" Master He's words rang in everyone's ears and hearts like thunder. Everyone was stunned for a long time. After a while, someone shouted, "Great, great! The sweet potato harvest is great. We have food. We will never let the people starve to death again. We are no longer afraid of those damn guys harassing the border and the soldiers fighting on an empty stomach."
This statement expressed everyone's thoughts and they all cheered. The ministers no longer had their usual stiff and serious looks and they were now as happy as children, dancing with joy.
Emperor Yongshun estimated that the output would be about 3,300 kilograms, and no more than 3,500 kilograms at most. He did not expect that it would be more than 3,800 kilograms. This weight really shocked him.
Zheng Sisi stood by and watched quietly, and was happy for everyone. Compared with modern output, there is still a big gap. If they knew that the rice yield per mu was 5,000 kilograms, would they be so happy that they would go crazy?
Sheng Zhen came over and stood beside her and asked, "Are you satisfied with this output?"
Zheng Sisi looked up at him and said, "It's pretty good. It's really good to be able to grow 3,800 kilograms with the temporary fertilizer. These people in my house have put in a lot of effort."
Sheng Zhen smiled: "Then we should reward him well."
Zheng Sisi said proudly: "Of course."
She looked at the people dancing in front of her and said, "Tell them to go to the flower hall for tea later. I'll go back to the kitchen first."
Sheng Zhen also looked at the ministers. It would take some time for them to calm down. He nodded and said, "Okay, don't work too hard!"
Zheng Sisi turned around gracefully and waved her hands in the air: "It's not hard."
By the time the ministers came to their senses, all the sweet potatoes had been picked away, and they were the only ones left excited. Sheng Zhen invited them to the flower hall for tea and said that Princess Anping had already gone to prepare lunch.
Everyone became excited again. As everyone knows, the food in the county lady's mansion is really good, especially County Lady Anping who can cook all kinds of new dishes. She dug sweet potatoes today and she will take some out to comfort everyone. Thinking of eating sweet potatoes, everyone quickened their pace to go back.
Everyone returned to the flower hall. The maids brought water for them to wash their hands, and then served them good tea. Strangely, everyone just took a sip and stopped drinking.
He Taifu was curious. It was his first time here. He praised the tea highly. But when he saw that no one was drinking it, he asked the ministers who liked tea, "Everyone, why can't you drink such good tea?"
A few people just smiled awkwardly. Emperor Yongshun looked at them and said with a grin, "Look at how low you are. You even refuse to drink tea just because of your stuttering."
Someone shamelessly said, "Your Majesty, are we afraid that we won't have enough food? Hehe!"
Tutor He was old and did not attend the morning court every day, so he missed many activities. He had only heard others praising him and his granddaughter had also talked about him in front of him, but he did not expect that someone would even give up his dignity just for a stutter.
Just as he was about to preach a few words, the maid came and invited everyone to go to the dining room for dinner, so he had to swallow the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
When I came to the dining room, I found that the layout was different today. The last time I came, there was an octagonal table. Why was it changed today?
Ever since everyone dug potatoes for a meal last time, Zheng Sisi found that the octagonal table was very inconvenient to use for eating, so she decided to design a more practical dining table.
She designed a round table based on the table in the cafeteria where she used to work. The table has a rotatable turntable, which makes it easier to pick up food.
In addition, she also equipped ten comfortable chairs with backrests, all made of solid red wood and carefully carved with beautiful patterns. In this way, the entire restaurant looks more beautiful and generous, and it also makes dining more convenient.
There were six tables in the flower hall, and the turntables were filled with exquisite and delicious dishes, emitting tempting aromas. The most eye-catching were two large pots of sweet potatoes, which were prepared in different ways but were both very fragrant.
Emperor Yongshun walked to the innermost table and sat at the head seat. He called Tutor He, Duke Zheng, the two chancellors, and three ministers. Together with Sheng Zhen and Zheng Sisi, there were exactly ten people. Eunuch Mu, who was supposed to serve the emperor, was sent to sit at the same table with the ministers.
After Emperor Yongshun sat down, he curiously fiddled with the turntable twice, and the turntable started to turn.
Emperor Yongshun asked curiously, "Girl, you designed this table too, right? It's really rare."
Duke Zheng said, "Your Majesty, this table is very convenient for dining. Just turn the turntable and the dish will be in front of you."
After hearing this, the curious people just turned it with their hands, and the food on the opposite side was turned over. It is indeed very convenient.
