Chapter 107: Eating Potatoes (2)
led everyone into the flower hall, and Li Xin also ordered the meal. The family also ate with the big guys, but they sat at a separate table, but the meals were still the same.
The children couldn't take care of the food, so they went to get potato cakes to eat. The hash browns are really fragrant and make people very appetizing when they smell it. People who have eaten potatoes love to eat them, and those who have not eaten potatoes are even more curious to taste them.
"It's delicious." Wen Hao said as he stuffed the potato cake into his mouth.
"It's delicious, don't talk when you eat, if you accidentally squirt out, who will dare to eat this table of food!" Li Xin glared at Wen Hao. She didn't mean that the children in the family must abide by the rule of "don't eat and sleep". You can talk at the dinner table, but if everyone obediently bows their heads to eat, it will be too dull. However, she didn't want someone to be chewing and talking at the same time, which made people look a little uncomfortable. If you accidentally squirt out and make the table all over the table, who would dare to eat it!
Wen Hao just smiled, but he closed his mouth and went to eat well, and stopped talking.
After lunch, the people on the other side of the kitchen will naturally clean up what should be cleaned up, and everyone will sit in the flower hall and drink tea. I just ate, but I am not suitable for working in the field, so it is better to take a rest. Besides, the weather is very hot now, and the sun is blazing at this time, which really makes people not even want to go out of the house!
"The taste of this potato is really good! The young lady didn't know where she got the crop. After sitting down and drinking tea, Wang's sister-in-law talked to Li Xin. Today's lunch, potato cakes are the most popular, when cooking, Li Xin asked to make a big basket, the people in the kitchen still feel strange, so many cakes, where to eat and play! The main thing is that it's not a staple food!
However, in fact, all the potato cakes were eaten, and although they were very filling, everyone still had some unfinished meaning. That's what it looks like! Originally, I couldn't hold it in my stomach, but my mouth still looked a little reluctant to close. Not only potato cakes, but also a large pot of shredded potatoes are also eaten cleanly, but there is still a lot of stir-fried meat with green peppers.
Although the food in Zhuangzi is good, there are still some luxuries in eating meat food, and it is not possible to eat it at every meal. On weekdays, whenever you make meat for that meal, you eat it all! It's a rare thing that there is still meat left today.
The potatoes are already delicious, but the potato cakes are still fried in oil, so they are not fragrant. Oil has always been a precious thing, and it is very economical for ordinary people to cook. It's very reluctant to stir-fry, let alone eat it with so much fried. There are always people who say that the food they cook at home is not fragrant, and the fragrance in the restaurant is not as good as the fragrance in the restaurant, which will make people drool. In fact, it is mainly because the people in the restaurant are willing to put oil, and the dish is naturally more fragrant.
"It was only by chance that I got it from a foreigner. I didn't know it was a delicious thing, but my family was afraid of poverty, so I just planted it and gave it a try. I didn't expect it to be really delicious, and I was full, but speaking of which, it was really a good thing! Li Xin said with a smile. When she discovered the seeds, she only thought about improving her family's life.
Now it seems that the seeds that are so common along her path can not only improve the lives of her own family, but may change the lives of millions of people if applied correctly. In this era, there were more farmers, and even if the rest of the population were all combined, it was relatively small.
Countries with a large number of farmers naturally pay more attention to crops. After all, with high-yield crops, it means that more people can eat well, more people will no longer have to go hungry, and fewer and fewer people will starve to death.
Perhaps, she has not suffered much from poverty, but in fact, she is not able to understand the poverty of this era. What kind of emotion would someone burst into tears when they saw digging potatoes! When she crossed over, although the Li family said that they were very poor, the family was surrounded by walls, and even had to starve, but soon, the family's life improved. The kind of poor, insufficiently fed days, she didn't have a few days.
"In any case, Miss has made a great merit. If these potatoes can be planted everywhere, why don't you have to worry about not having enough to eat! Wang Fu was also excited. When he was a child, his parents sold him because his family was poor. At that time, my family was really poor! Cooking a pot of gruel, there are not many grains of rice floating in it, and it seems that it is easy to count. Most of them are vegetables, and when there are vegetables at home, they put some cabbage that they have grown. There is no vegetable at home, and it is mixed with wild vegetables dug up.
Sometimes, wild vegetables are very old, but they are not eaten, and they still have to be eaten no matter how difficult they are to swallow.
Those kinds of days are really scary to think about.
"Such a good thing is naturally spread out so that everyone can grow it, but everyone has seen the reproduction of potatoes, and to be honest, the reproduction speed is also slow. It's not as good as corn and sweet potatoes, which reproduce much faster. And the yield is also very high, the yield of corn is several times that of rice! And the mountains can also be planted, and it doesn't have to take up good days. And sweet potatoes are even easier to call things, the vine is inserted, don't care about it, you can always receive sweet potatoes, just say how much the yield is. Moreover, as long as it is planted well, the yield of sweet potatoes may be even higher than that of potatoes.
"I thought! Next year, it would be nice to be able to mobilize the people around me to plant corn or something. ”
"Miss is right, or Miss thinks about it thoroughly. If the young lady is really willing to give the seeds to others, there will definitely be many people rushing to plant them. Who wouldn't want to plant something with such a high yield! Just go out and talk about it, for sure! Someone will come to your door soon! Wang Fu was very excited. His young lady is really very kind! It is also his blessing to be able to follow such a master.
"However, don't talk about this matter for the time being, but when it's time to harvest, you can let everyone come and visit. At that time, it was more convincing to say anything, we always told people how high the yield was, and then they had to believe it! ”
"Miss, don't worry, the big guy will definitely not go out and talk nonsense."
After that, Li Xin asked people to cut the watermelon they brought and serve it to everyone to eat. He also asked people to pick some cherry tomatoes to wash them, and they were also served. It's hot and it's nice to have some fruit. Especially watermelon, watermelon is eaten to cool off, and even if it has not been chilled, it is very cool to eat
