Chapter 24 For the benefit of all peoples
Sweet potatoes are a dish that should be eaten hot.
If it is cold, it will not be good to "pull the silk", and the taste will be greatly reduced.
Therefore, after Tang Qi put the sweet potatoes on the plate, he immediately brought them to the table and called the three of them to come over to eat.
Liu Che, Wei Qing and Wei Zifu actually couldn't wait for a long time.
As soon as Tang Qi called, they obediently sat down at the table.
"Na, this is my specialty dish of sweet potato, how do you taste it!"
Tang Qi said, handing three pairs of chopsticks to the three of them.
Liu Che got the chopsticks and immediately picked up a piece of sweet potato.
The sugar silk is long and slender, and it will automatically break off when it reaches about 30 centimeters.
Liu Che put the sweet potato on the tip of his nose and smelled it, the fragrance of the sugar was very light, not flushing his nose at all, and there was no sweet and greasy feeling.
Tang Qi couldn't help but sneer: "What, I'm afraid that I won't be able to poison here?" Still want to smell it? ”
Liu Che smiled awkwardly and said: "Mr. Tang is a man among the gods, how can I have that kind of suspicion, I just want to understand the taste of this sweet potato in an all-round way!" ”
After speaking, Liu Che was about to stuff the sweet potato into his mouth.
"Wait!"
Tang Qi stopped: "Use cold water first, it will taste more fragrant!" ”
Only then did Liu Che understand the role of the bowl of cold water on the table.
At first, he thought the water was for drinking.
"I didn't expect this dish to be so exquisite!"
Liu Che exclaimed, and then put the sweet potato pieces into the cold water and rolled them.
The outer layer of syrup quickly cools and condenses into a crispy crust.
In the early morning sun, the sugar shell shines brightly and is very beautiful.
Liu Che swallowed his saliva and hurriedly put the sweet potato in his mouth.
With a light bite, the crispy crust wrapped in the sugar juice cracks, revealing the soft and glutinous sweet potato flesh inside.
The rich and mellow sweet flavor fills the mouth instantly, and the crispness and softness that appear at the same time make the taste simply dreamy.
After Liu Che swallowed this piece of sweet potato, he immediately exclaimed: "It's delicious, it's so delicious, it's better than all the desserts I've ever eaten!" ”
Wei Qing also tasted a piece of sweet potato at this time, and then exclaimed: "This is the delicacy eaten by the gods, I have never eaten such a delicious sweet in my life!" ”
Tang Qi suddenly squinted and laughed.
As a chef, Tang Qi is naturally very happy that the dishes he makes can get such great praise.
"If it's delicious, you can eat more, don't leave it left, this thing won't taste good when it's cold!"
Tang Qi said with a smile.
Liu Che immediately nodded and said, "No problem, I will definitely not have leftovers!" ”
Before he finished speaking, Liu Che sandwiched another piece of sweet potato and ate it very happily.
Wei Qing was also not to be outdone, and the left chopsticks and the right chopsticks flew up.
Only Wei Zifu still maintained an elegant posture, chewing slowly.
From this point alone, Wei Zifu has the demeanor of a queen.
"You eat first, the rice porridge should be ready, I'll bring it to you!"
Tang Qi greeted the three of them, then got up and walked to the stove.
If you eat sweets in the morning, it is easy to cause stomach reflux, and drinking rice porridge can effectively alleviate this symptom.
Tang Qi lifted the lid of the pot on the stove, scooped four bowls of rice porridge, and brought it to the dining table.
"Thank you, Mr. Tang!"
Liu Che thanked him, then picked up a piece of sweet potato, and said while eating: "Mr. Tang, you just said that potatoes are more suitable as staple foods than sweet potatoes, and this potato ...... What is it? ”
Tang Qi raised his eyebrows and said, "Potatoes are potatoes, don't you know?" ”
"Potatoes?"
Liu Che was stunned: "What is this?" ”
Tang Qi rolled his eyes and said, "Potatoes don't know either?" You should have heard of yam eggs, artichoke, fragrant mountain taro or something, right? ”
Liu Che still shook his head, indicating that he didn't know anything.
Potatoes were introduced to China in the late Ming Dynasty, and were planted on a large scale throughout the country in the middle of the Qing Dynasty.
For a person in the Han Dynasty, both potatoes and potatoes were unfamiliar terms.
Tang Qi also thought of this, so he sighed and said: "You are still really good enough to enter the play, it is quite in line with the character design, okay, let me explain it to you!"
Potatoes, like sweet potatoes, grow in the ground! The skin of potatoes is yellow, and the skin of sweet potatoes is generally red. ”
"I see!"
Liu Che nodded and said, "Then Mr. Tang, why do you say that potatoes are more suitable for staple food than sweet potatoes?" ”
Tang Qi took a sip of rice porridge, and then explained: "The starch content of potatoes is higher than that of sweet potatoes, and the nutritional content is also the most complete among all food crops, and you won't ......fart if you eat too much."
As soon as he said this, Wei Qing suddenly let out a fart.
In an instant, the other three all glared angrily at Wei Qing.
Wei Qing was stunned, and said with an embarrassed smile: "I...... I've tried to restrain myself, but I haven't! ”
Liu Che frowned slightly and said, "Why don't you get up and go to a distant place?" ”
"Forehead ......"
Wei Qing scratched his head and said, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, it's Your Majesty who is rude, please punish Your Majesty!" ”
At this time, Tang Qi spoke: "Don't blame him for this, it's really easy to fart if you eat too many sweet potatoes, and it's hard to restrain yourself!" ”
Liu Che said suddenly: "No wonder sweet potatoes are not suitable as staple food, it turns out that they are so harmful, it seems that this thing cannot be promoted to the world!" ”
Tang Qi rolled his eyes and said, "What's the harm?" It's better than starving! And as long as you don't eat too much, you generally don't fart. ”
Liu Che thought for a while, nodded and said, "What Mr. Tang said also makes sense, farting is indeed better than starving to death!" ”
Tang Qi continued: "I just said that potatoes are more suitable as staple foods, because potatoes can be harvested twice a year, and sweet potatoes can only be ripened once a year. ”
Liu Che's eyes widened and said, "Could it be that this sweet potato can also yield five or six thousand catties per mu?" ”
Tang Qi nodded and said, "Of course, otherwise how can I say that potatoes are more suitable as staple foods?" However, one bad thing is that potatoes are a little more particular about planting than sweet potatoes! ”
Liu Che touched his chin and said: "Born with everything, yin and yang are deficient, it can yield five or six thousand catties per mu, and it can also be harvested twice a year, and it is normal to pay attention to planting!" Presumably, when planting this potato, it should be taken care of every day, fertilized and watered every day, right? ”
Tang Qi rolled his eyes and said, "What do you want?" I'm talking about being a little more particular than sweet potato planting, which is to take care of it every day, as long as you find a piece of land with similar fertility and bury it, the planting difficulty is not as high as rice! ”
Liu Che stood up suddenly and said in surprise: "Is this true? ”
Tang Qi sneered and said, "Do I need to lie to you? ”
"Uh...... That's just as well! ”
Liu Che smiled awkwardly and said, "Mr. Tang naturally won't lie to me, it's because I'm too excited!" However, Mr. Tang's island is really full of treasures, with high-yield rice, sweet potatoes and potatoes, and if these three things are promoted, they are enough to benefit all people! ”
