"My dear ministers, are you sure?"
"Chengfeng hasn't explained the origins of these so-called ingredients yet!"
Liu Zhengyuan said with a very strange expression.
Although he could tell that the ingredients looked excellent, he couldn't perceive more details due to the distance.
But the ministers were different; they stood right in front of Liu Chengfeng. Although they hadn't figured out the reason yet,
the moment Liu Chengfeng lifted the lid, they smelled the rich aroma emanating from within.
They knew this approach was inappropriate, but they simply couldn't resist. The scent was too tempting.
"Your humble servants are willing to try!"
The few of them expressed in unison.
"Then… alright!"
Liu Zhengyuan nodded, but then he glared fiercely at Liu Chengfeng: "If any of you, my dear ministers, suffer any mishaps after eating these things, I will not let you off lightly!"
Liu Chengfeng wasn't worried about this. At this moment, he was already handing the fruits and vegetables from the basket to the ministers, introducing them as he did so.
"This one is a cucumber, this one is a tomato, this one is a peach, this one is…"
The ministers listened with blank expressions, having never heard of these ingredient names.
However, they had already been attracted by the aroma of these ingredients. Now holding them, the scent was even more overwhelming, and their appetites were already stimulated. Unable to resist any longer, they quickly took a bite.
"Crunch!"
The juice burst in their mouths, fragrant and sweet, filling their entire mouths.
With another chew, the flesh was either soft or crisp, with a delicate texture, delicious and refreshing.
Swallowing the juice and flesh together was like drinking sweet dew, leaving their bodies refreshed and incomparably comfortable.
Then, they all closed their eyes, savoring and enjoying it, their faces beaming with happy smiles.
When they opened their eyes again, they looked at the fruits and vegetables in their hands, their eyes shining brightly.
They could no longer maintain their composure and took bite after bite, like hungry tigers pouncing on their prey.
Only one thought remained in their minds… delicious, truly delicious!
"This…"
Liu Zhengyuan on the throne and Fang Hui beside him naturally took everything in, watching in astonishment and feeling immensely shocked.
Even at imperial banquets, facing tables full of delicious dishes, they had never seen these ministers lose their composure like this.
"Father Emperor, since they've already tasted it, you don't have to worry anymore, right?"
Only Liu Chengfeng was already confident and unsurprised. He smiled triumphantly and presented two ingredients to Liu Zhengyuan and Fang Hui.
"Hmm?"
Instantly, an enticing aroma wafted over. Liu Zhengyuan's nose twitched slightly, and he unconsciously licked his lips, feeling his mouth water.
At this moment, he finally realized the extraordinary nature of these ingredients.
He finally picked one up and tried a bite, and that single bite instantly made Liu Zhengyuan tremble, his eyes filled with disbelief.
These unknown things could actually be eaten, and they were so… delicious?
Meanwhile, Fang Hui beside him was already wolfing it down, mumbling indistinctly as he ate: "Your Majesty, this ingredient… it's truly too delicious. I've never eaten such a delicacy in my life!"
In a few bites, the ministers finished the fruits and vegetables in their hands, but they clearly wanted more.
Their gazes involuntarily turned towards the basket Liu Chengfeng was holding, a faint glow appearing in their eyes.
Liu Chengfeng naturally noticed this, but he quickly covered the basket with its lid, staring at them like he was guarding against thieves. His meaning was clear: they had tasted it, but the rest was all his.
The ministers immediately looked embarrassed.
Liu Zhengyuan on the throne had just finished the ingredient in his hand and hadn't had enough. He originally had the same thought as the others, but at this point, it was awkward to ask for more.
Seeing that they couldn't get any more to eat, the ministers couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, where did you get these ingredients?"
Firstly, they were genuinely curious, and secondly, if they found out the origin, they could, of course, go buy them themselves.
After tasting these delicious ingredients, they felt that what they had eaten before could hardly be called food, and they definitely wouldn't be able to eat it anymore in the future.
Before Liu Chengfeng could speak, Fang Hui explained the reason with an extremely strange expression: "These were all personally grown by His Highness, and they were grown overnight…"
"What?!"
As soon as they heard that these ingredients were personally grown by His Highness, their expressions changed drastically, filled with surprise.
And upon hearing that they were grown overnight, the ministers felt as if they had been struck in the chest, unconsciously taking two steps back, clearly startled.
Of course, besides the shock of the matter itself, they quickly thought of more.
The current food shortage in Feiyun Country was an urgent problem that needed to be solved; otherwise, if it dragged on, it would inevitably lead to unrest.
They also knew that His Majesty was recently planning to implement a new farming policy, and it was likely that this summons was to discuss this matter.
But now, if there truly was a way to grow food overnight, not only would Feiyun Country's predicament be instantly resolved, but the country would also never lack food again, ensuring national peace, prosperity, and flourishing forever.
This… this was truly extraordinary.
Thinking of this, they all gasped.
But at the same time, they couldn't help but doubt the truthfulness of this matter.
Were these ingredients really grown by His Highness overnight? How did he do it? Could such a planting method be popularized?
Liu Zhengyuan naturally also thought of these things. Anxiety and anticipation spread in his heart, and then he looked at Liu Chengfeng very solemnly, confirming:
"Are these truly the ones you personally grew last night? You must not deceive me!"
"Yes, Father Emperor!"
Liu Chengfeng said with absolute certainty: "When these crops matured today, all the servants in your son's manor were there, and they saw it with their own eyes!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Zhengyuan immediately had Fang Hui send someone to verify it, but in his heart, he had already believed most of it. The brilliance in his eyes instantly became dazzling, and he eagerly asked again.
"Then tell me, what method did you use to grow these ingredients? And where did you get these seeds?"
"Father Emperor, to talk about that, we first have to start with a place I recently visited called an Internet Cafe…"
Liu Chengfeng then explained everything about the Internet Cafe, the game, the Game Store, the soil, and the seeds, one by one, in full detail.
Things like entering another world, quickly improving cultivation by playing games, and exchanging items from the game to reality.
And to prove the truthfulness of the matter, Liu Chengfeng also activated his Martial Qi and summoned his star ring. He had just broken through to Silver 3 before, but now he was already at Silver 5 strength, about to advance to Gold.
Everyone felt that everything Liu Chengfeng described was truly shocking and unbelievable, yet the facts seemed to be right before them.
At first, they all had many questions to ask, but as they listened, they found there were too many questions and didn't know where to start.
Until Liu Chengfeng finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
Liu Zhengyuan also didn't expect that the problem would ultimately return to that mysterious Internet Cafe.
Liu Chengfeng saw that after his explanation, no one spoke, thinking they still didn't believe him, so he suggested again.
"Father Emperor, if you still don't believe me, I can take you to that Internet Cafe right now. If you try it yourself, you'll know whether it's true or false!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as these words were spoken, everyone first paused, and then their expressions all changed.
They all seemed to be moved?
