Chapter 898 Benefiting the Common People Again?

The second elder Wu Tong, the bald dragon saw Yao Yun, and the drought girl Niangniang were all excited and inexplicable, and the two of them were even more confused.

Who am I, where am I, and what is going on?

"King, what is this, why are you and Niangniang so excited?"

Second Elder Wu Tong pointed to the sweet potato in Yao Yun's hand and looked at it carefully, very curious.

Yao Yun calmed down the excitement in his heart, smiled at the second elder Wu Tong and the bald dragon, and introduced: "This is called sweet potato, also known as sweet potato, is a high-yield crop, its vine leaves can feed livestock, vine roots can be used to stir-fry vegetables, and the roots that grow in the soil can be used as food to satisfy hunger, that is, this is the one held in the lonely hand, this is a real good baby!"

Let's say it, Yao Yun handed the two sweet potatoes in his hand to one person and one dragon.

"This sweet potato tastes good, fragrant and sweet. ”

The second elder Wu Tong and the bald dragon general nodded suspiciously, very curious about the things that were still stained with mud in front of them and their appearance was not good, and looked up and down.

"Yao Yun'er is right, sweet potatoes taste excellent, sweet and delicious. "The drought girl has tasted it herself, and nodded very approvingly, Xu is personally looking for it, and the sense of accomplishment is bursting, and now she thinks that sweet potatoes are one of the most delicious foods in the world.

"How to eat?" asked the bald dragon.

"You can eat it grilled or steamed, there are many ways to eat it. Yao Yun said the most common way to eat sweet potatoes without thinking, and after thinking about it, Yao Yun looked at the dry fish Niangniang: "Niangniang, do you bring a lot of sweet potatoes?"

Niangniang seemed to guess what Yao Yun was thinking, and said, "Don't worry, I dug a lot, even the vine and root roots, you can taste it with confidence." ”

Soon, a large pile of sweet potatoes appeared on the ground, and there were even several large clods of soil, in which a few fresh sweet potatoes grew.

Yao Yun looked at it, was slightly stunned, and immediately laughed dumbly, Niangniang was really domineering, and even brought back the sweet potato field.

Daintily!

With so many sweet potatoes, Yao Yun didn't have to worry about the seeds, and selected four sweet potatoes that were relatively small, damaged, and not suitable for seeds, and prepared to hand them over to the cook lady of Wumiao, ordering her to pick them up in the kitchen fire pit and roast them.

However, as soon as Yao Yun spoke, the drought girl called out to her, took the sweet potato easily, and the fire in her hand was raging, and the sweet potato was wrapped at once.

Generally speaking, as soon as the divine fire burns, the sweet potato immediately becomes ashes, but the mother is supernatural, "lifting weights like light", and controlling the flame to the point of perversion.

In the blink of an eye, the sweet potato is cooked, but the surface is not damaged in the slightest, only slightly yellowed and slightly wrinkled on the surface!

"It's amazing, it's a pity that the fun of roasting sweet potatoes is missing, and there is no soul!"

Yao Yun complained a little in his heart.

On the other side, the Drought Lady distributed the sweet potatoes to Yao Yun, the second elder Wu Tong, and the bald dragon.

"Thank you for the reward!"

The second elder Wu Tong and the bald dragon are "flattered", but the drought girl is the daughter of the Emperor of Heaven, the founder of the Xia Dynasty, and she can eat it personally roasted by her old man, which is really a blessing for three lives!

However, one person and one dragon have long been curious about sweet potatoes in their hearts, and they didn't have time to get excited, so they picked up sweet potatoes and ate them.

"Hmmm~ It's so fragrant!It's so sweet, it's delicious, it's really delicious!"

"Hmm~ Food, it's really a delicacy, it doesn't look good, I didn't expect it to taste so delicious. ”

The freshly baked sweet potatoes are very hot, the bald dragon is fine, the skin is rough and the flesh is thick, and those who swim in the sea of fire are not afraid, but the second elder Wu Tong is not good, and he hums straight when he eats, but he gives a thumbs up in his hand and is full of praise.

"I've eaten, Yao Yun'er, you can eat. On the other side, the Drought Lady gave Yao Yun the other two sweet potatoes.

"Thank you, mother. ”

Yao Yun thanked him, but he didn't eat it, but called a palace guard and ordered him to send two sweet potatoes into Qingqiu Palace, and give them tassels and Gongzi Hengniang to taste, they haven't eaten them, and they must like them too!

Looking at this scene, the drought girl admired this offspring more and more, and her eyes were full of love: "Yao Yun'er, there are a lot of sweet potatoes here, I'll help you bake another one." ”

Yao Yun shook his head and refused: "No need, these sweet potatoes look good, suitable for seeds, or give them to Jiang He and Jiang Miao, let them breed, as long as they are cultivated, they can eat as much as they want in the future." ”

Niangniang nodded slightly, didn't say anything, but her eyes softened more and more.

"The king (the prince), there is still half of the old decay here. One person and one dragon remembered something, and immediately offered the sweet potato in their hand.

Yao Yun ate a lot of sweet potatoes when he was a child, and he was tired of eating them for a long time, so he immediately shook his head with a smile: "This is given to you by the mother, how can you live up to the kindness of the mother, see that you like to eat it, rest assured to eat, this sweet potato is a high-yield crop, it is rare now, and there will be so much that I don't want to eat it in the future!"

"Hehe~ Thank you King, thank you Niangniang~ Wang, you said that this sweet potato has a high yield, how high is it, is it more productive than hybrid rice?"

"Well, this sweet potato is extremely high-yielding, with a yield of thirty or forty stones per mu, if it is high-yielding, it is not a dream to yield 10,000 catties per mu!" Yao Yun said eloquently.

"Huh~ so prolific?"

Second Elder Wu Tong exclaimed in surprise, his face full of incredulity.

Even the drought fish Niangniang was a little surprised, Yao Yun told her before that this crop called "sweet potato" is extremely high-yielding, with a yield of dozens of stones per mu.

At that time, the drought girl also suspected Yao Yun of bragging, but she didn't expect that Yao Yun was still conservative at that time, 10,000 catties is about 100 stones, and the grain per mu is 100 stones, which has never been heard of in the world.

"Shizi, you're not kidding, are you?" The bald dragon has blessed both sides of the Chishui River with good weather and rain over the years, and he has a certain understanding of farming, and the yield of five or six stones per mu is amazing, let alone a hundred stones per mu, which is simply appalling.

Yao Yun nodded solemnly: "At the beginning, it will definitely not reach the output of a hundred stones per mu, but I don't care about dozens of stones!"

"Sweet potatoes can satisfy hunger, can they become staple food?" Second Elder Wu Tong had a unique gaze and quickly asked the key point.

Yao Yun nodded: "Sweet potatoes can become a staple food, but it is not as good as rice and wheat millet to nourish people, it is easy to have heartburn and be hungry if you eat too much, and if it is used as a staple food, it is more difficult to store than rice." ”

When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized that there is really no perfect thing in the world, although sweet potatoes are good, they are not as good as the grains of the Heavenly Empire in some aspects.

"Of course, the flaws are not hidden, the advantages of sweet potatoes are also extremely obvious, it is extremely cold-resistant, barren-resistant, very high-yielding, we can plant sandy land in the mountains, the dry land of the northern and western wilderness, and rarely fail to harvest, in the disaster year, it can live countless people.

If today's troubled times will arise, there will inevitably be disasters in the future, and then it will be the time for sweet potatoes to make meritorious contributions. ”

After Yao Yun finished speaking, his eyes fell on the drought fish Niangniang, and said, "Niangniang, you have benefited the common people again this time!"

Drought Lady listened carefully to Yao Yun's introduction of sweet potatoes, and after hearing about the benefits of the common people, she was excited in her heart, years of running around were not in vain, and the role of sweet potatoes was far beyond her imagination!

If sweet potatoes really live countless people in the future, it doesn't actually mean... Is she expected to completely break the shackles of heaven and earth?
