In fact, Qiling is right to be so cautious. After all, no one knows what changes will happen after planting the lettuce in a different place.

What if it is mutated, for example, if oranges grow in the south of Huai, it is oranges, and if oranges grow in the north of Huai, it is tangerines. In fact, if it is planted, it will not be delicious at all.

This situation is not completely impossible. This is why Yaoyao asked Qiu'er and Ran'er to heat up the water in the pot next.

Then, the reason why she burned a slice of lettuce for Li Hongcheng to eat is that her actions made Li Chengqian frown, why did she prepare it in advance?

But he didn't give him the first lettuce?

"how?"

Seeing that Li Hongcheng had eaten the lettuce, of course he still ate it with meat sauce, Yaoyao asked expectantly.

After chewing it carefully, Li Hongcheng was quite surprised. Maybe he had never tasted such a crispy and tender taste since he was a child, and the taste of the dish was filled with a hint of sweet vegetables.

The key is that when he ate the vegetable with the meat sauce, he didn't feel greasy at all when he looked at the meat sauce that was still a bit greasy.

After eating, Li Hongzhen raised his eyebrows and said happily: "The taste and taste are good, and it seems to be sweet. It is inexplicably appetizing, and I want to take a second bite."

When Li Chengqian saw Li Hongcheng still staring at his crown princess, he couldn't help but use the tools next to him to knock on the cauldron, and the knocking sounded loudly.

‘You still want to eat, don’t you know how to make it yourself? What are you watching Yaoyao do?’

Of course, Yaoyao himself did not notice it.

After hearing Li Hongcheng say this, she felt relieved and said, "Since that's the case, it shouldn't be mutated yet, so she can eat it."

"Well...what does mutation mean?" Qi Ling and Qing Zhu both told him repeatedly, and they must not forget every word Yaoyao said. Li Hongcheng then asked curiously.

Yaoyao said, "It means it should be non-toxic and can be eaten."

As he said that, he burned a slice of Li Chengqian, then wrapped it in meat sauce and sent it to Li Chengqian's mouth.

But why, after listening to what she said, Li Chengqian seemed to be reluctant.

After swallowing the thing into his stomach, Li Chengqian said: "You said just now, this thing might be poisonous?"

After hearing this, Li Hongcheng's face turned pale for a moment.

Yaoyao said, "It's not toxic, but you should have heard that if you plant things in some places, they may become undesirable if you change to other places to plant them, right?"

"You mean orange!" Li Hongcheng said.

"Yes! Actually, this lettuce is the same. So I don't know whether the lettuce grown in Zai Du is delicious or not. If one kind comes out, it's a failure. However, after hearing what you said just now, I know that there should be no problem in general."

After Yaoyao finished speaking, she burned another slice. This time she was deliberately boiling and cooked more thoroughly. Originally, she planned to eat it herself, but Li Chengqian seemed not very relieved and snatched her directly.

Because the length of hotness varies, the taste will naturally change.

But the crisp and sweetness of lettuce is still much better than many high-quality vegetables of this era.

Seeing that Li Chengqian couldn't wait to snatch it away, Yaoyao was not angry, just thinking, is it really that delicious?

No! Li Chengqian actually just doesn't want her to be poisoned.

After looking at Li Chengqian, Yaoyao stopped saying anything, and took apart the seven or eight leaves and threw them into the cauldron to burn.

It seemed too troublesome to her, and she was not the kind of person who couldn't afford it, right?

In this process, Li Chengqian naturally slowly savored the taste and taste that Li Hongcheng mentioned just now, which was indeed different from ordinary vegetables.

Many of the green vegetables in this era still have the properties of wild vegetables, either with bad taste or a bit bitter.

Nowadays, it seems that the only one who can compete with this lettuce is probably the only one who can compete with the cabbage.

And this cabbage was cultivated two or three hundred years ago, and was cultivated through the royal vegetable garden.

It can be seen that this dish is so precious that the Emperor of Northern Wei at that time also specially named Dabaicai "Song".

Of course, when the Beichen period came, the planting of this suckling had become more popular, but in fact, it was still equally precious, because neither the yield nor the place of origin had been popularized and promoted. Otherwise, there would not be countless literati who used suckling to write poems.

Moreover, in many poems, you can see the love of literati for this cabbage.

Yaoyao believes that once this lettuce appears on the food plates of these literati, it will definitely be very popular.

At that time, since this lettuce is a scarce item, the big one will be sold for five copper coins, and the small two will be the same price as the big one.

After all, the technical means are not yet mature, and top dressing is difficult to implement and difficult to catch up, so the lettuce produced is big and small.

But this is normal, it is actually equivalent to semi-wild. Fortunately, after all, the land of Duke Yi has not been cultivated for so long, and he specially applied farm fertilizer before ploughing. I think that at least the first batch of harvested fertilizer should be sufficient.

You can see from the growth of these two baskets of lettuce, at least, most of them are still very good and average.

Therefore, Yaoyao also said to Li Hongcheng: "You go back and tell Qi Ling that the big one can be sold for five copper coins, and the small one can be sold for two together."

As she said that, Yaoyao also picked up a piece and tasted it. She could only say that the taste was very crisp. But... if she could be fried and eaten, plus garlic, oil and salt, it would be even better.

"Of course, the price can be determined by yourself depending on the situation, and there is no need to follow what I said. The common people will definitely not be able to afford this dish, so the most important thing is to sell it to the rich people in Chendu, such as those merchants. They make so much money, but they have no place to spend it."

After tasting it, it was crispy, tender and refreshing, and the taste was sweet. Yaoyao finally realized that this was the lettuce she wanted and said, "That's right! This is the lettuce I want."

This time, Li Chengqian failed to stop her. She hid for a while and then stuffed the lettuce into her mouth.

"There are many ways to eat lettuce. One of the important reasons why it is called lettuce is that it can even be eaten raw and has a very delicious taste. In addition, you can dip it in various sauces or use raw vegetable leaves to wrap fatty meat. If you eat it with raw lettuce leaves, you can reduce the fatty meat at this time, especially pork that is fried until golden. In addition, you can eat it in one bite with rice. In the spring day... Eat lettuce, lettuce, and make money! In the future, you can also use such a slogan so that everyone in Chendu will know."

Li Hongcheng: "So that's it! I still wonder why I gave this tender green and soft green dish that makes people clearly think is so beautiful. So this dish is really good to eat raw?"

Yaoyao: "You can try to eat it raw. But before eating, you must clean it and clean the soil and dust on it."

Then...

Li Hongcheng really became the first person to eat lettuce raw.

After eating one slice, I was not satisfied, and then I drank the sauce and ate another slice. Then my eyes shined and said, "If you eat it raw, it seems to feel sweeter. And it is no worse than the taste of the previous ones! This lettuce can compete with Sang for the first of all dishes."

"In two days, didn't you say there is Qushui Liushang?"

Yaoyao then looked at Li Chengqian and said to Li Chengqian: "Present this lettuce a little and let them write poems for this lettuce. Then..."
