Chapter 429: There is no famine in Datang
Chapter 429 Qin Huaidao stood there, waiting for the sweet potatoes to be ripe, and it was not a matter to wait, so Qin Huaidao used a stick to pull the sweet potatoes in the fire to see if they were ripe.
"What are you doing here?" Li Shimin also squatted down curiously, looked at Qin Huaidao and asked.
"Roasted sweet potatoes, roasted sweet potatoes are more fragrant and delicious!" Qin Huaidao turned his head and said to Li Shimin with a smile, then pulled two out, quickly pressed them with his hand, softened, and then quickly retracted his hand, and shook it, it was so hot.
"Hehe, it's cooked, you can eat it when it's cold!" Qin Huaidao said with a smile, and then continued to pull with a stick, pulling several times again.
After about three or five minutes, Qin Huaidao stood up, lifted the lid of the pot, and then quickly picked up one and twisted it directly from the middle.
"It's cooked, it's cooked, don't burn it, it'll burn later, that, put it out with something, cool it for a while, it's too hot!" Qin Huaidao blew on the sweet potato as he spoke, and quickly took a small bite.
"Ho ho ho ho ~ it's too hot, it's delicious!" Qin Huaidao stood there eating alone, while Li Shimin's group of ministers looked at Qin Huaidao.
"Wait a minute, it's too hot!" Qin Huaidao said to them with a smile, in fact, it was also to demonstrate to them, if they can eat it, they dare to eat it, let them eat it later, that is, let them rest assured, it is not poisonous!
"No, no, it's too hot, I'll eat it later!" Qin Huaidao took a bite, it felt too hot, so he put it on the stove, and then took the roasted sweet potato on the ground and peeled off the burnt skin outside.
"Oops, cool!" Qin Huaidao said happily, took the sweet potato and began to eat it.
"Well, it's delicious!" Qin Huaidao said happily.
"Get me some, hurry!" Li Shimin saw that Qin Huaidao was eating so deliciously, and immediately asked.
"Yes, I'll peel the sweet potato for you!" Qin Huaidao said and put it down, picked up the one on the ground, and peeled off the skins, revealing the orange-red sweet potatoes inside.
"Smell it, taste it!" Qin Huaidao smiled and handed the sweet potato to Li Shimin, who took it and took a small bite.
"Uh-huh, well, it's not bad, it's sweet, it's warm after eating!" Li Shimin said and took another bite, it was really good,
And Wei Chi Jingde and a few of their generals picked up the roasted sweet potatoes on the ground and began to eat them.
"Yes, this tastes good, fragrant, Your Majesty, just like that, it must be able to make food, and it can be eaten!" Wei Chi Jingde ate happily there, quite refreshing.
"Well, it can be eaten, it is delicious, it is sweet, it is delicately sweet, it is delicious!" Li Jing was also standing there eating.
"You are old, don't eat so much at a meal, this thing, how to say it, it's definitely not good to eat it every day, and it hurts your stomach to eat it every day.
If it is stewed with rice, look here, if it is stewed like this, put a little rice, then it will be fine to eat every day, and it will be good for the body! Qin Huaidao said to their adults.
"It's okay to eat once in a while, right?" Wei Chi Jingde looked at Qin Huaidao and asked.
"It's okay to eat one or two a day, anyway, if it's the staple food, how can I say it, father, eating every day will have some effect on the stomach, if you add rice stew, then eat it by the way!" Qin Huaidao said to Li Shimin.
"In the year of famine, the soil is eaten, and this can't be eaten? Hurt your stomach? If you don't die, you will die, and if you eat soil, you will die! Li Shimin stared at Qin Huaidao and said, and after speaking, he took another bite.
"Let's try this too, shall we?" Those ministers who had not yet eaten it immediately picked up the boiled sweet potatoes, and some of the ministers began to eat them.
"Uh-huh, yes, that's, hot!"
"Delicious, oh, delicious!"
"Not bad, oops, hot, delicious!" ... When the ministers took it to eat, they told it to be delicious, but it was hot.
"Don't worry, just blow it!" Qin Huaidao immediately persuaded them to speak, and then, the soldiers began to cook the second pot, because the people who were working had not eaten yet.
However, when those eaters saw those ministers and said that it was delicious, it must be delicious.
"Not bad, not bad!" Li Shimin finished eating a roasted sweet potato, feeling unfinished, but there was nothing left on the ground, so he could only look at the boiled sweet potatoes in the basin.
"Peping, just this sweet potato, it must be promoted, it must be promoted next year, such a yield, such a taste, even if it is a disaster year, a family planted an acre of land, it will not be said to escape the famine, smart!" Li Shimin shouted Li Chengqian as he spoke.
"Erchen is here!" Li Chengqian was eating sweet potatoes, and when he heard Li Shimin's shout, he immediately responded.
"You are responsible for this matter, just now you have to promote the quyuan plough and harrow, even the sweet potatoes together, tell every family in the eight provinces in the northwest, at least one acre, if the population is large, you can plant two acres, with these sweet potatoes, the people will not flee the famine,
I will also exempt the taxes of the eight provinces in the northwest, and at the same time, the Ministry of Civil Affairs will go to the south next year to purchase a batch of rice and come back, according to 5 catties of millet per person per month, and let them cook sweet potatoes! Li Shimin looked at the ministers as he spoke.
"Yes!" Tang Jian immediately stood up and spoke.
In this way, disaster relief will be much easier, there is no need to worry about the people starving to death, and there will be no worries about the people fleeing the famine, or even saying that the grass is a coward!
"Okay, okay, is it cold?" Li Shimin asked a minister who was eating boiled sweet potatoes as he spoke.
"Back to Your Majesty, it's almost." The minister nodded and said, and Li Shimin took one and ate it as he spoke.
"Well, it's not bad, sweet, but it's not roasted, Pepin, I still like to eat roast!" Li Shimin tasted it and said to Qin Huaidao.
"Erchen too, the fragrance of roasting, in winter, when going to court, kick one in your hand, you can use it as a stove, and when you are hungry, you can pick it up and eat it!" Qin Huaidao nodded with a smile and said.
"Well, that's good, but now they won't eat this, they don't buy all the things in your Qinfu dim sum shop, and when they come out with new products, they will buy them!" Li Shimin said to Qin Huaidao with a smile.
"Hehe, the old man eats dim sum for breakfast, it's delicious!" Wei Chi Jingde said with a smile, and the other ministers also nodded,
Qinfu dim sum shop, but for those ministers to provide a lot of breakfast, mainly to carry, just put it in your pocket.
Then the front was dug up again, basically more than 4,000 catties of an acre of land, after a while, the sweet potato porridge was cold, Qin Huaidao used a bowl to Li Shimin to fill a bowl, handed over the chopsticks, and filled a bowl himself, and drank it there.
"Oh, it's comfortable, Your Majesty drinks such porridge in winter, it's warm!" Qin Huaidao said to Li Shimin with a smile.
"Well, well, it's delicious, and it's sweet, Peping, get me a few loads to the palace, and I'll drink this in the future, it's delicious!" Li Shimin nodded and said, and then the other ministers did the same, they all felt very good,
Especially in winter, there is really nothing to eat, and now this sweet potato porridge tastes good, and then Qin Huaidao took them to dig potatoes,
The yield of potatoes is also very high, and the yield per mu is also more than 4,000 catties, which made Li Shimin quite surprised, and Qin Huaidao began to make mashed potatoes, anyway, these ministers,
It's all here this morning, Qin Huaidao made mashed potatoes, and then he cooked, using pork to make some potato dishes, and the other is potato stew, this beef is still someone else's cow is old, and he wants to kill it, Qin Huaidao bought dozens of catties and brought it over,
The other thing is to make potato cakes, anyway, there are a lot of them, Qin Huaidao is there to demonstrate, and then let the women in Qinzhuang start to help make them, let Li Shimin and those ministers eat, they all nodded after eating.
"You can still cook, and you can eat it as a staple food, it's really good, this potato!" Li Shimin felt very surprised, cooking is also good, and he can be full as a staple food.
"Your Majesty, there is a taboo about eating this potato, which must be told to the people, once the potato is green, that is, it has to sprout, it is very poisonous, this must be told to the people who plant, you can't eat it casually,
Once it is green, it should be planted, this planting is different from the cultivation of sweet potatoes, this is to be cut piece by piece, buried in the ground, just like garlic, but this yield is very high, the edible value is more than sweet potatoes,
The only point is that you can't eat potatoes with green skin, otherwise, the gods can't save them, and half of the green ones are also after spring, like now, no, and the potatoes are stored for a long time! Qin Huaidao stood there and explained to Li Shimin and Li Chengqian.
"Well, this Peping, I still need you to give Gu a good talk when the time comes!" Li Chengqian nodded, and said to Qin Huaidao seriously, this potato must also need to be promoted.
The people's food problem has always been a major concern for the emperors of all dynasties, and Li Chengqian will not be an exception.
And he also satisfied Li Shimin and the ministers, although the ministers of the family did not support him, but they also recognized Li Chengqian's excellence, and he was indeed a very good prince.
"Gao Ming, you have to ask for more advice, and there are these ways to eat, and you have to tell the people that there are more ways to eat potatoes than sweet potatoes!" Li Shimin said to Li Chengqian.
"I know, when the time comes, let Peping write it, and Erchen will take it to the printing house to print, and then let the local people who can read and write slowly spread it!" Li Chengqian nodded and said, Li Shimin also nodded, and he was very satisfied with Li Chengqian's treatment.
"Okay, okay, two crops with a yield of more than 4,000 catties per mu, my Datang people don't have to worry about famine." Li Shimin looked at the food eaters who were digging sweet potatoes and potatoes, and said with great emotion.
"Peping, I'm going to come to the court tomorrow morning!" Then Li Shimin looked at Qin Huaidao and said.
"Yes!" Qin Huaidao immediately arched his hand and said.
