87 Tomatoes

This autumn, what made Jian Qingqing most excited was that her crops had all matured!

Yams, sweet potatoes, potatoes, peppers, tomatoes, corn, and so on could all be eaten!

As for the use of these crops, she had a very great dream, and that was to hope that they could be extended to all of Great Wei Kingdom, and even the whole world!

Just her family eating it was not enough. If she wanted other people to accept it, so she had to have convincing proof.

This unique candidate was Ming Zhiyan.

First, he was a member of the imperial court. If the imperial court said that it could be eaten by the people, they would definitely believe that it could be eaten.

Second, Ming Zhiyan was the person with the highest status that she knew. As a County Magistrate, if she wanted to spread it to the whole country, she had to first spread it in Shifeng County. Having the highest official in this place to advertise for her was the best.

She did as she was told. She first took the tomatoes to test the water.

Tomatoes were the most difficult to preserve. Moreover, they were vegetables from the current season. After giving Ming Zhiyan to eat, she could immediately put them on the shelves in her food shop. She could not sell the rest to him. She still had to keep them for planting. She would wait until next year’s large-scale planting before giving them to him to eat.

Xiao Lang went to the county office every day to practice martial arts with Ming Zhiyan. His energy had all been vented here. He was not so naughty when he went home.

Jian Qingqing took the tomatoes when she went to the county office to pick him up. When Xiao lang saw that his sister was still not leaving after picking him up, he urged, “Sister, go home quickly. What are you doing here?”

Jian Qingqing patted his head and asked the officer beside her, “Officer, Big Brother, is the County Magistrate free?”

The officer was already very familiar with Jian Qingqing. He knew that her relationship with the County Magistrate was extraordinary. If she wanted to see the County Magistrate, he would meet her even if he was not free. So the officer said directly, “If you are free, do you want to see the Magistrate?”

Jian Qingqing nodded and followed the official to meet Ming Zhiyan.

Ming Zhiyan was writing an official document. Seeing her come in, he nodded lightly. “Miss Jian, what’s the matter?”

“Lord Ming, I’ve brought you some food.”

Jian Qingqing would always bring her new food inventions to Ming Zhiyan, so he was not surprised. He nodded and said, “Put it on the table first. I’ll eat it after I’m done.”

Jian Qingqing did not put it on the table like he wanted. Instead, she took out the tomatoes in the basket and showed them to Ming Zhiyan. “Sir, take a look.”

Ming Zhiyan was surprised. “What is this?”

Ever since he became the County Magistrate, he often had to go to the countryside to persuade the farmers to plant fruit trees. Therefore, he knew all the plants that were often planted in Shifeng County, but he had never seen this red fruit.

Jian Qingqing smiled and said, “This is a tomato. It can be eaten as a vegetable or raw. I found it on a mountain before. Later, I planted it in my own house. This year, I planted a lot of it. It tastes pretty good. Sir, do you want to try it?”

Xiao Lang said excitedly, “This is super delicious! Brother Ming, you must eat it!”

Ming Zhiyan was very familiar with his foodie attribute. Even if he said that it was delicious, it might not be delicious. However, he still believed in Jian Qingqing. He nodded and said, “Then stay. I’ll get the chef to cook it before eating it tonight.”

“Okay! This tomato and egg are the best when fried together. If it’s fried with eggs, it’s called tomato fried egg.”

Ming Zhiyan nodded seriously. “Okay, I’ll remember it. I’ll get the chef to cook it tonight.”

Then, he asked casually, “Do you grow a lot of this at home?”
