Chu Ze was very happy.

Lan Ruoyan is also happy
  Because Chu Ze is happy, she will be happy.

Li Xing looked indifferent.

He followed simply because he wanted to see Xiqi.

He also saw the tomato plant.

Naturally, I also saw how Chu Ze took care of him early and late.

The level of care made Li Xing suspect that what was in the pot was not a plant, but Chu Ze's ancestor.

But the effect is also very obvious.

Those half-dead leaves gradually glowed with life.

Then it starts to bear some small dark green fruits.

As the small fruit grows, its color changes from harsh green to attractive red.

Li Xing asked Chu Ze what the use of this thing was.

Chu Ze said they were edible.

The fruit can be eaten, and the leaves can also be eaten.

You can eat it raw or cooked, and the taste is different.

Li Xing is not a good eater, but there is something new and he wants to try it.

To put it bluntly, it’s just curiosity.

A few days ago, Chu Ze told him that he had to wait until it was completely red before he could eat it.

The so-called red color means that the fruit has become soft.

Li Xing has been waiting since then.

Lan Ruoyan is also waiting.

Chu Ze and his party rushed to the greenhouse in a hurry.

Zuo Ying saw that the plant, which was only as tall as an adult's forearm at first, was now half as tall as a person.

The branches and leaves are dense and dense, with several red or green fruits hanging in the middle.

These fruits vary in size.

It is very beautiful to be dotted among the leaves.

"You're doing so well." Zuo Ying praised, "If you stop being an official and plant some trees and flowers, you will definitely be able to support yourself."

Zuo Ying said this sincerely.

He was praising Chu Ze.

When Chu Ze heard this, he smiled proudly and said unceremoniously: "That's right."

Don't even look at what he does.

Planting some plants or something is not a problem for him at all.

He walked quickly to the tomatoes and moved his eyes up and down, searching for the red tomatoes.

"here."

Lan Ruoyan saw that Chu Ze hadn't seen it several times, so she stretched out her hand, pushed aside a leaf that was wider than her palm, and pointed inside to show Chu Ze.

Chu Ze looked along Lan Ruoyan's hand and saw the ruby ​​hidden under the leaf.

He stretched out his hand and pinched it, sighing: "It is indeed mature."

"That's right." Lan Ruoyan's face was full of pride.

She watches it every day.

But she didn't do it to eat, but because Chu Ze was expecting it to mature.

Sure enough, brother Chu Ze was really happy when he saw the tomatoes ripening.

When brother Chu Ze is happy, she is happy.

Lan Ruoyan's eyes were shining.

Li Xing said: "Didn't you say you can eat it?"

"You just know how to eat." Chu Ze didn't even look at Li Xing, but called Zhao Si to get a piece of cloth.

Zhao Si said "Hey" and ran away quickly.

"What are you doing with cloth? This thing is so valuable, why do you need cloth to pick it?" Zuo Ying was shocked.

Chu Ze: "..."

Chu Ze raised his head, looked at Zuo Ying without words, and said, "That cloth is used to put seeds."

What on earth was Zuo Ying thinking?
  Tomatoes are expensive, but they are not so expensive that they need to be wrapped in cloth before picking, right?

That's not a natural treasure.

Chu Ze shook his head speechlessly.

Zuo Ying: "You didn't say anything."

Zhao Si quickly brought the cloth and handed it to Chu Ze: "Master, here it is."

Chu Ze took it.

He unfolded the cloth and placed it on the ground.

Then I reached out to pick tomatoes.

The tomatoes are so red that they bloom as soon as you break them. Chu Ze dug out the seeds and sprinkled them on the cloth.

Then he put away the cloth and took the remaining shells to the kitchen and fried ordinary tomato scrambled eggs.

The sweet and sour taste made Lan Ruoyan and others want to swallow their tongues.

Unfortunately, there were too few tomatoes, and each person lost one bite.

Zuo Ying's meaning is still unfinished.

Li Xing held the chopsticks and was reluctant to put them down.

Lan Ruoyan licked her lips, put down her chopsticks reservedly, took out her handkerchief and wiped the corners of her lips.

Chu Ze held up his chopsticks and froze on the spot.

"Where's ours?" He said blankly.

It was such a small plate, and it was gone before he could move his chopsticks?

Chu Ze raised his head and looked at several people in shock and condemnation.

Zuo Ying chuckled: "Sorry, this is so delicious, I couldn't hold it back."

I couldn’t hold back Chu Zexin.

But with Zuo Ying's expression, Chu Ze really didn't notice that he felt sorry.

"You can't blame us, the portion is really too small. We didn't even eat enough, so you can eat it next time. Anyway, there are still a lot of knots on that tree." Li Xing wiped his mouth, not only was he confident, but he was also plausible. .

Chu Ze: "..."

Listen, listen, what are these words!

He eats his food and drinks his food, but in the end he despises him for not doing enough.

Chu Ze slapped his chopsticks on the table, stretched out his hand to pinch Li Xing's neck, and cursed: "Animal, we will fight you!"

Li Xing has sharp eyes.

When he saw Chu Ze moving, he ducked and ran out the door.

"Come on, let's see if you can't beat me." Li Xing ran in front, and Chu Ze chased after him.

……

Once the tomatoes start to ripen, they come one after another, one after another.

Chu Ze picked them off one by one.

Most of them save the seeds directly and then collect them in one dish.

It entered the bellies of Li Xing and Zuo Ying.

Chu Ze brought the rest into the palace.

Also taken away were a drawing of a food box and a chariot.

Zhu Yuanzhang heard that the tomatoes were ripe and wanted to take Queen Ma to have a look.

Unexpectedly, Chu Ze himself entered the palace first.

It just saved him this trip.

Zhu Yuanzhang pulled Queen Ma and said, "We heard that these tomatoes taste good. Let the boy cook them for us later."

Queen Ma nodded "Yeah".

Chu Ze came in and saluted.

"Your Majesty, look."

He dug around in his arms and took out a few round, dark red tomatoes.

These were all chosen by him to look good.

"Oh, they're quite beautiful." Queen Ma took a quick look and took a fancy to these little fruits.

Chu Ze chuckled and presented the tomatoes as a treasure.

He delivered the tomatoes to Queen Ma.

Queen Ma took the tomatoes and couldn't put them down.

Zhu Yuanzhang took one and looked at it.

"Didn't you say this is edible?" Zhu Yuanzhang did not forget his purpose.

Chu Ze also knew it and had already prepared it.

He took out the food box and opened it.

"We have already prepared it. Your Majesty, Godmother, let's have a try." Chu Ze took out a few pairs of chopsticks from the box and handed them to the people present.

They took the chopsticks and tasted them one by one, and they were all full of praise.

Chu Ze knew that this thing would definitely be popular.

He is sitting at the table with a cup of tea in his hand.

After everyone had almost eaten, he said: "The tomato yield is not small. In just these few days, we have collected a lot of seeds." He took out a small cloth bag from the bottom of the food box.

What was wrapped in the cloth bag was all tomato seeds.

A dense layer with a lot of weight.

But for the entire Ming Dynasty, it was still too little.

"We have thought about it. These seeds will be cultivated in the test field first. When the seeds are almost cultured, they will be promoted nationwide. What do you think, Your Majesty?" Chu Ze looked at Zhu Yuanzhang. (End of chapter)
