Da Qin: From a disciple of Fusu to a generation of imperial masters

Chapter 341: Eye-opening Fusu and Han Xin! Corn, potatoes, and sugar!
Fusu and Han Xin followed Lin Xuan, and the three of them walked for a while.

A relatively remote courtyard appeared in front of the three people. Fusu looked at the courtyard in front of him and frowned slightly.

He remembered that this courtyard was what his teacher had asked him for and the teacher had told him about it at that time.

No one is allowed to approach this courtyard, Fusu remembered his teacher's words.

Tell the servants and soldiers in the mansion not to approach this courtyard.

Soon Fusu forgot about this matter, but when he saw this courtyard today, he thought about it again.

"Sir, Mr. Han Xin, follow me into this courtyard."

Lin Xuan said this and walked into the courtyard first. Fusu and Han Xin looked at each other and also walked into the courtyard.

Entering the courtyard, what caught Fusu and Han Xin's eyes was a vast expanse of land.

The land was covered with plants that were taller than humans, and there were several things hanging on these plants.

Fusu and Han Xin were stunned when they saw this scene. It was the first time for them to see plants taller than themselves.

Fusu knew that his teacher had asked him for this courtyard, but he had no idea that such plants were planted in it.

Lin Xuan glanced at Fusu and Han Xin who were standing there in a daze, then walked towards the corn field with a smile on his face.

Near the cornfield, Lin Xuan picked two corns from a corn stalk.

Holding two corns, Lin Xuan walked up to Fusu and Han Xin.

The two looked at what was in Lin Xuan's hand, and then reacted and looked at Lin Xuan with surprise on their faces.

"Teacher, what is that in your hand?"

Fusu pointed at the two things in Lin Xuan's hand and asked, and Han Xin also looked at Lin Xuan.

"I call this corn, and you and Mr. Han Xin can regard it as food for human consumption."

Lin Xuan peeled off the leaves of two corns and handed them to the two men.

The two took the corn and looked at the long yellow corn grains in their hands, and were very surprised.

"Teacher, how do you eat the corn you mentioned?"

Fusu looked at Lin Xuan and expressed his thoughts.

"The method of eating it is very simple. Put the corn into the pot with cold water."

"Wait until the cold water in the pot becomes hot and cook for a while until the corn is cooked."

"Then we can take out the corn and eat it. Two corns are enough for a soldier to have a meal."

Lin Xuan looked at Fusu and told him how to eat corn.

When Fusu heard Lin Xuan's words, he looked at the corn in his hand and his expression changed.

He didn't expect that the strange-looking corn in his hand was actually edible food.

Today, the teacher once again opened his eyes and let him see such magical corn.

Han Xin, who was standing by, looked at the corn in his hand and stood there in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

Lin Xuan looked at Fusu and Han Xin and continued, "In addition to not being afraid of getting wet by rain, corn has another advantage that cannot be compared with food and grass."

"That is, after the corn is cooked, the soldiers can carry it with them."

“When the army went out to fight, the soldiers often had to stop to make fire and cook.”

"This will cause dust and smoke to rise, which will not only delay the speed of the army's movement, but also allow the enemy to discover it."

"If the army cooks the corn before moving, let the soldiers carry it."

"The speed of the army's movement will also slow down, and the enemy will not be able to detect any signs of the army and can be caught off guard."

Lin Xuan looked at Fusu and Han Xin and pointed out another advantage of corn.

Fusu and Han Xin's eyes lit up when they heard Lin Xuan's words, especially Han Xin.

Being good at military skills, he immediately understood the importance of corn to the army after hearing Lin Xuan's words.

If a soldier could carry cooked corn, he could use this to his advantage.

"Mr. Lin Xuan, corn is very important to the soldiers."

Han Xin said this with excitement on his face.

Fusu on the side nodded slightly, agreeing with what Han Xin had just said.

The corn that the teacher showed him was not afraid of getting wet by rain.

Soldiers can also carry it with them, which is incomparable to food and fodder.

"Teacher, is it difficult to grow corn?"

Fusu looked at Lin Xuan and asked the most important question.

Han Xin also looked at Lin Xuan. Fusu's question was very important.

If the conditions for growing corn are very high, it will not be of much use to the army.

Lin Xuan looked at Fusu and Han Xin and said, "Growing corn is very easy."

"You just need to bury the seeds from the mature corn in the soil, and after a period of time, it will produce edible corn."

"The growing conditions for corn are simpler than those for rice and corn."

"Young Master and Mr. Han Xin, there is no need to worry."

"If there is enough land, there is enough corn to grow an army."

Lin Xuan looked at Fusu and Han Xin and told them the details about the corn.

After hearing Lin Xuan's answer, Fusu and Han Xin showed excitement on their faces.

Once a lot of corn is planted, the soldiers on the border will no longer have to worry.

The food they ate would be soaked by the rain, even when they went out of the city to fight the Huns.

You can carry cooked corn with you so that you don’t have to fight on an empty stomach.

"Teacher, you have once again made a great contribution this time."

"With corn, soldiers on the border no longer have to worry about food shortages."

Fusu said with excitement on his face.

Han Xin on the side also nodded vigorously. He was about to become the commander-in-chief of the border.

He attached great importance to the issue of food and fodder, even though he could not take away any ripe corn when he went to the border this time.

After that, he would still receive corn sent to the border by the soldiers, which was very good news for him as the commander.

Lin Xuan looked at the excited Fusu and Han Xin, with a smile on his face: "Young Master and Mr. Han Xin, don't get excited yet."

"I just mentioned two kinds of food below, and corn is just one of them."

"Now I will show you the second kind of food!"

Lin Xuan said as he walked to the left. Fusu and Han Xin looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.

Lin Xuan's words reminded them both that Lin Xuan had indeed mentioned two kinds of food just now.

They had already seen the first kind of food, corn, and its appearance had shocked them both.

Lin Xuan also wanted to show them a second kind of food. Today it really opened their eyes.

The two turned around and followed Lin Xuan.

Soon, under the leadership of Lin Xuan, new plants appeared in front of Fusu and Han Xin.

This time, there were dense green plants in front of them, and the height of the plants was the same as their knees.

Seeing this scene, Fusu and Han Xin froze again. It was the first time they saw the plants in front of them.

Lin Xuan ignored Fusu and Han Xin who were frozen behind him and walked towards the potato field.

Lin Xuan used both hands to push away the ground under his feet, and took the opportunity to grab the potato vines.

I saw several huge potatoes hanging on the vines.

Looking at these potatoes, Lin Xuan had a smile on his face.

The potato seeds provided by the system are indeed excellent, not only shortening the maturity time.

The potatoes were big and numerous. Lin Xuan picked a few potatoes and held them in both hands and brought them to Fusu and Han Xin.

"Teacher, this long and round thing in your hand is the second kind of food you mentioned?"

Fusu looked at the black thing in his teacher Lin Xuan's hand, with a hint of doubt in his heart.

If someone told him that this was a poisonous drug, Fusu would not doubt it. It did not look like food at all, and Fusu felt that he would be poisoned if he ate it.

Han Xin looked at what Lin Xuan was holding with a stiff expression. His thought was the same as Fusu's.

He also didn't think it was edible food.

Lin Xuan looked at the two people who looked suspicious and said, "What I'm holding in my hand is called potato."

"The method of eating is the same as corn. Pour cold water into the pot and put the potatoes in at the same time. Wait for the water to boil and then the potatoes can be eaten after a while."

"A soldier's meal consists of one potato."

"Two is enough for those with a big appetite."

"Potatoes are also not afraid of getting wet by rain, and after being cooked, soldiers can also carry them with them."

Lin Xuan looked at Fusu and Han Xin and told them how to eat potatoes.

Fusu and Han Xin were frozen at this point. Today was truly an eye-opener.

Not only did we see new food, corn, but we also saw new food, potatoes.

Both types of food are not afraid of being wet by rain, and soldiers can carry them with them.

"Teacher, you have really opened my eyes today. I admire you!"

"The same is true for Han Xin. Mr. Lin Xuan, these two kinds of food are very important to the soldiers on the border, and also to me as the commander."

Han Xin said this while looking at Lin Xuan and bowing.

Lin Xuan took out two new foods, which solved a big problem for him.

"My Lord and Mr. Han Xin are too polite. I am just trying my best."

"Since you two have seen these two kinds of food today, why not try them yourself and see how they taste?"

Lin Xuan looked at the two of them and expressed his thoughts.

"Teacher/sir, how dare we refuse your kind invitation?"

"We both want to try out the potatoes and corn as well."

"Somebody come!"

After Fusu finished speaking, he called the soldiers and ordered them to bring a large pot and clean cold water.

Soon the soldiers brought a big pot and clean cold water, and Lin Xuan washed the corn and potatoes.

Place in a pot of cold water and cover with lid.

The three of them looked at the iron pot where corn and potatoes were cooked. After a while, they smelled a faint fragrance.

After a while, Lin Xuan opened the lid, took out the cooked corn and potatoes and placed them on a wooden plate.

Fusu and Han Xin smelled the fragrant corn and potatoes and swallowed.

Lin Xuan waited until the temperature of the cooked corn and potatoes dropped, peeled the potatoes, broke the corn in half and handed them to Fusu and Han Xin.

Fusu and Han Xin couldn't wait to take the potatoes and corn and started eating.

After taking the first bite, their eyes lit up and they continued eating.

Lin Xuan looked at the two people who were eating voraciously, and a smile appeared on his face.

I also picked up a corn and started eating it. I have to say that the corn grown from the corn seeds given by the system tasted really delicious.

Soon Fusu and Han Xin finished eating the corn and potatoes in their hands. They looked at each other with a hint of embarrassment on their faces.

Especially Fusu, who has been exposed to etiquette since childhood.

He didn't make big movements when eating and drinking. He didn't pay any attention to his movements when he was eating corn and potatoes just now.

Fortunately, only his teacher and Han Xin saw it, otherwise Fusu would have felt very ashamed.

Lin Xuan looked at Fusu and Han Xin, and he knew that the two were not full.

Lin Xuan took out a small package from his sleeve and opened it. Inside was the sugar that the system had just given him as a reward.

"Mr. Han Xin, you can try this with some corn and potatoes."

Lin Xuan pointed at the small package containing sugar and looked at Fusu and Han Xin.

"Teacher, this package of yours contains the fine salt we sell."

“Students think that potatoes and corn are just as delicious without the salt.”

Fusu looked at the fine salt that Lin Xuan pointed at and refused.

Han Xin also shook his head slightly. He also felt that potatoes and corn would be just as delicious without salt.

"Sir, you are mistaken. This package does not contain fine salt."

"Try it yourself, and you'll know how it tastes!"

Lin Xuan looked at Fusu and pointed to the small package of sugar again.

Fusu heard what his teacher Lin Xuan said and peeled a potato.

Dip a potato in a little powder similar to fine salt and put it in your mouth.

A sweet taste filled his mouth, and Fusu's face showed excitement when he felt the sweetness.

Fusu took a big bite of the potato, reached into the package, grabbed some powder and put it into his mouth.

Sure enough, the sweetness just now was brought by this powder.

"Teacher, this powder is so similar to fine salt, why does it taste so sweet?"

Fusu had a look of surprise on his face and pointed at the small package in front of Lin Xuan.

When Han Xin heard Fusu's words, he followed Fusu's example and dipped a potato in some powder and put it into his mouth.

Han Xin's eyes widened, and he also felt a sweet taste.

"Mr. Lin Xuan, what exactly is this sweet powder?"

Han Xin looked at Lin Xuan with a look of surprise on his face.

"The thing in this package on the lower tube is called white sugar, and it tastes sweet."

"Adding sugar to everyday dishes can make them sweet."

When Fusu and Han Xin heard Lin Xuan's words, they looked at the sugar in the package.

The two of them saw so many good things today, first corn and potatoes and now sugar.

"White sugar tastes so sweet that maltose can't compare to it."

Fusu looked at Baitang and gave his own evaluation.

Lin Xuan smiled when he heard Fusu's words and said, "I'll take out the sugar."

"I also want to tell Master Fusu something. I know how to make white sugar."

"I want to cooperate with Master Fusu, just like we did before when we sold paper and fine salt."

"The production and sale of sugar will also be handled by Prince Fusu's men."

"As for the money from the sale of sugar, you and I will split it equally."

Lin Xuan looked at Fusu and told him his purpose.

Fusu was stunned for a moment when he heard what his teacher Lin Xuan said, but he quickly reacted and shook his head slightly:

"The teacher gave the sugar to the students, and the students would arrange their confidants to make and sell the sugar."

"As for the money earned from selling sugar, the students would never dare to accept it."

"The teacher has taken good care of the students. The paper and salt businesses have made the students very rich."

Fusu looked at his teacher Lin Xuan and expressed his thoughts. He knew very well that the teacher wanted to help him.

Fusu wanted to have more money, but he thought his teacher had helped him too much.

He refused to accept the money from the sale of sugar.

"If you do not agree to my request, then just pretend that I have never mentioned this matter today."

Lin Xuan's face remained calm as he expressed his thoughts.

Fusu's face changed drastically when he heard Lin Xuan's words. He knew that his teacher was somewhat dissatisfied with his rejection.

"The student agreed to the teacher's proposal, so the teacher should not be angry."

Fusu looked at Lin Xuan helplessly, but finally he agreed to Lin Xuan's request.
