Creating a Different World - Chapter 2491

[Chapter 2491 Poison Testing]

Sarah boiled the water, and Ashley and Amanda put the cut melon flesh, leaves and vines into the pot one by one. According to Jia Zhengjin’s instructions, they took them out immediately after blanching them and put them aside for later use.

Jia Zhengjin told Sarah to scoop out the water, wait for the iron pot to heat up, and let Ashley pour in a bowl of oil.

Zion and others watched with great distress. This oil is very precious, and there is only so little left. If it is all used up, there will be no oil to add to the oil lamp at night!

Although they bought cooking oil, most of the time it is used as fuel for oil lamps, and they try to save it as much as possible.

It’s just that the “Princess” insisted, and everyone couldn’t disobey the order.

When the oil was heated, Jia Zhengjin instructed Ashley to pour the sumi melon flesh into it and stir-fry it with a wooden spatula.

As soon as it was thrown in, an attractive fragrance came out, and everyone present was stunned.

The smell was so fragrant that the appetite increased and the mouth was full of saliva.

How could it be so fragrant? Strange!

Nonsense, so much oil poured in, it would be strange if it didn’t smell good!

According to Jia Zhengjin’s order, stir-fry and add salt. As the melon flesh gradually becomes cooked, add some water and continue to stir-fry until the melon flesh is completely cooked. An irresistible fragrance comes to the nose, and the scene is particularly lively with a rumbling sound of stomachs.

Ashley was very surprised. She didn’t expect that she had made such a delicious dish according to the princess’s instructions without knowing the ingredients at all. It was unimaginable!

When Jia Zhengjin ordered to take it out of the pot, she quickly put it into a large wooden basin for vegetables and carefully placed it on the table next to her.

Then she immediately went back and started cooking the sumi leaves in the same way.

“Well~ Not bad!” Jia Zhengjin came over to check the finished fried sumi melon. It was really good for Ashley to be able to do this for the first time!

Unfortunately, there were no chopsticks, so she had to take a wooden fork and prepare to try it.

“Wait a minute!” Before she could do anything, Zion hurriedly stopped her, “Princess, this unknown food is not sure whether it is safe, you should wait a moment! I will taste it for you to see if it is poisonous. If it is safe, you can eat it later!”

“Princess, please wait a moment!” The people around shouted in unison, with nervous expressions.

Jia Zhengjin thought for a moment, and the royal family really had a tradition of testing poisons. Perhaps this world is the same.

He put down the wooden fork, but also said: “Something that suddenly came to my mind told me that this is not poisonous, so it should be okay?”

“No matter what, safety comes first!” Zion said cautiously, picked up another wooden fork and carefully poked a piece of fruit pulp, put it to his mouth, hesitated and opened his mouth, took a small bite and slowly sipped it in his mouth.

“How is it?” Ladin asked worriedly, “Is there any problem! If you feel something is wrong, spit it out quickly!”

The others around him also stared at Zion nervously, and if there was any problem, they would rescue him immediately.

Zion’s frown suddenly melted after the food entered his mouth. He sipped his lips a few times and suddenly showed a shocked expression, then opened his mouth and ate all the rest on the fork in one bite.

“What are you doing?” Ladin was frightened. “You don’t have to eat so much. It’s very troublesome if it’s poisonous!”

Zion didn’t say anything, but chewed the fruit in his mouth quickly, with his facial expressions changing constantly.

“Hey, Zion! What’s going on?” Ladin asked worriedly, staring at his face.

Zion still didn’t say anything. After eating a piece, he hesitated for a moment, and poked another piece with a fork and put it in his mouth.

Ladin thought to himself, what are you doing? Is this how you taste the food for the princess?

Just watching Zion eating enthusiastically, smelling the tempting aroma, and his stomach kept rumbling, he couldn’t help but pick up the wooden fork, thinking, I’ll taste it for Her Royal Highness the Princess too!

He poked a piece and put it in his mouth, and immediately showed a surprised expression.

How can there be such delicious food? Why do I feel that the delicious food I ate in the Ressel Palace when I was a child didn’t taste as good as this!

The two old people actually forgot that they were tasting for Her Royal Highness the Princess, and stuffed the pieces into their mouths with wooden forks, immersed in the deliciousness and unable to extricate themselves.

The people next to them saw it and thought, is it really that delicious? In front of their noses, it seemed as if an invisible hand was constantly teasing them, pulling their noses closer step by step.

In the end, they all couldn’t help it, completely forgetting their positions, just knowing that they were so hungry that they picked up wooden forks and started eating crazily.

After a while, they found that the basin was empty, and then they realized that something was wrong. Their faces turned pale, and they almost knelt on the ground at the same time and kowtowed to Jia Zhengjin: “Your Highness, we are guilty!!”

They all lowered their heads and dared not raise them.

It was obviously for the princess to taste and test for poison, but it was eaten up in an instant, leaving nothing behind. This was a great disrespect to Your Highness.

It was all because the melon flesh was too delicious, and everyone was so hungry that they actually committed such a crime.

Faced with the heavy task of apologizing, Jia Zhengjin laughed: “It doesn’t matter! At least it proves that the food is not poisonous.”

“Your Highness, we deserve to die!” Zion looked very ugly and full of self-blame.

“We deserve to die!” The others also knelt down and shouted in unison.

Ashley, Amanda, and Sarah, who were cooking, were at a loss for a moment.

“Alright, alright!” Jia Zhengjin waved his hand, “We still have a lot of sumi melons, so we can just make another one! We also have sumi leaves and sumi vines. Oh, and we can pick out a small portion of sumi seeds later, and fry the rest!”

“Seeds?” Zion showed a surprised expression, “Can seeds be eaten?”

“Of course! And they smell very fragrant when fried, just like fried melon seeds.”

“Fried melon seeds?” Everyone in the group had a confused expression.

“Um~ you don’t need to understand.” Jia Zhengjin said, “Anyway, there is enough food, don’t worry, just eat it!”

“Your Highness,” Zion asked hesitantly, “You just said to pick out a small part of the seeds, why don’t you fry them all together?”

“Of course, plant them in the ground! After they mature, everyone can eat them every day!”

“Your Highness, this kind of thing can’t be harvested every day, it can only be harvested once! And at most one or two seasons a year.” Zion said, “You don’t understand these. Besides, we don’t know how to grow these new foods, and we don’t know if they can survive.”

“Don’t worry about this. From this food, you should be able to believe that the things that suddenly appeared in my mind are real, right?”

“Yes! Your Highness may really have been gifted by God!” Zion said excitedly, “This is God’s blessing!”

“The knowledge I have obtained also includes how to better grow various crops, including how to cook them, and other various things.” Jia Zhengjin said, “Moreover, I have a way to make Sumi melons planted all year round and harvested every day!”

“Isn’t that a miracle?!” Everyone was shocked.
