Chapter 114: Forty or Fifty Stones

As early as when Changle returned to the palace, Li Er received Ding Yi's excerpt. Baidu search literature network, more good free reading. As for Ding Yi's unconventional way of handing over excerpts, Li Er is also angry and funny

However, the content of this excerpt made Li Er's heart turn upside down, and the grain with a yield of twenty stones per mu was ripe, and Ding Yi also wrote that there were other good things to offer him

Because the matter of potatoes has not been made public, only Li Er, Du Ruhui and others know. But because of the importance of this matter, Li Er announced that Cheng Yanjin would go to Shiping with two thousand Zuo Wuwei

Ding Yi, who was blown by the bleak autumn wind, finally received Li Er, and before Li Er could get off the dragon, Cheng Biting Jin Wei and Chi Gong rushed forward, and one of them grabbed Ding Yi's arm

"Boy, you said that the potato can yield twenty stones per mu" Yu Chi Jingde's angry question shocked Ding Yi's left ear.

Cheng Yanjin was not weaker than Wei Chigong at all, dragging Ding Yi with one hand and patting Ding Yi on the back with the other. Said with relief: "Ding boy, Lao Tzu has long seen that you are not simple, first you have a corn yield of eight stones per mu, and this time it is a potato of twenty stones, haha, my old Cheng's vision is really right."

"Two uncles, can you let go of the kid first. I'll know later, can I produce twenty stones per mu" Ding Yi, who was dragged by someone, begged for mercy. Ma Zhou followed behind Ding Yi, and was specially instructed to just look at it and not say it, Ma Zhou thought deeply. At this moment, seeing Cheng Yanjin and others, there was still His Majesty, and Ding Yi couldn't help but raise a notch in his heart

"Haha Zhijie, Jingde, don't play bad, this kid will have to rely on him to harvest potatoes later" Li Er laughed and walked over, Ding Yi hurriedly saluted.

"Your Majesty, when will it start" Ding Yi asked, this Li Er didn't say that it started, and others didn't dare to move Ah The previous thousand Zuo Wuwei surrounded the potato field all day long, and no one was allowed to approach except Ding Yi

"Shiping Hou, this can only start after worshipping the ancestors, heaven and earth."

Why did Wei Zheng, this old man, come here, didn't he say that it was a good secret

"Lord Wei said that I came to Shiping with such fanfare, and I will take him to see it" Li Er interjected and answered Ding Yi's doubts. Baidu search literature network, more good free reading. Besides, it can't be hidden. It's better to be generous, but this kid is stingy

In desperation, he watched the Ministry of Rites fiddle with it. Finally, we can start as soon as possible, and the beginning is not far from the end

"Your Majesty, this potato is the same as ginseng. The fruit grows in the soil, but the leaves and rhizomes can also be used to feed livestock," Ding explained, throwing aside the ground and pulling out a series of potatoes the size of an adult's fist

Li Er and a few people stepped forward to watch, took the potatoes in their hands, and removed the sticky soil one by one.

"This is a potato, how to eat it," Li Er asked, holding a potato,

"Your Majesty, there are many ways to eat this potato, go to french fries, mashed potatoes, roast beef with potatoes, shredded and sour potatoes, fry and eat, boil and eat, fry and eat, bake and eat, you can eat as much as you want, but you can't use it as a staple food, there is too much starch in it, and people will be uncomfortable if you eat too much" Anyway, Ding Yi ate too many potatoes, and his stomach swelled badly

"What is this starch?" Ding Yi, there are always some strange nouns coming out of his mouth

"Your Majesty, this starch is very useful."

"Then don't talk about it, let's take the potatoes first" Li Er already knew Ding Yi's urine, so it's okay not to mention it, as long as he mentions it, he can say a whole chapter of strange words

It's better to take action, Li Er is the fifth time to go to the ground this year, which has never happened in the past, this year in addition to spring plowing and autumn harvest, Quyuan ploughing, harvesting corn, plus harvesting potatoes

Watching Li Er and them go to the ground, Ding Yi found Hua Niang and buried the pot in the ground to make rice

The chili pepper is already seven or eight centimeters, and the spicy taste is not obvious, and it has also been picked off by Ding Yi. A plate of shredded potatoes with green peppers, a pot of mashed potatoes, beef didn't dare to get it, Li Er was still there, he knew that he killed the cow, it would be miserable Although he often eats beef in Cheng Biting Jin's house, but people are better than dead people Ding Yi thinks that his face is not as good as Cheng Lao Mo

The weigher last time had the honor of weighing the first batch of potatoes this time

"One stone"

"Five Stones"

"Twenty Stones"

Hearing this, Li Er and the others in the field couldn't help but glance back. There were already four or five horse-drawn carriage-sized potatoes piled up in the ground, and they were neatly placed there, and he looked back at the ground and looked back at the unfinished ones

"Your Majesty, this potato, the yield per mu will definitely reach thirty or thirty stones" Wei Zheng's trembling hands accidentally dug up the potato stems and leaves, and hurriedly dug up in the ground

Li Eryi didn't know how to answer Wei Zheng for a while, so he turned around and took a deep look at Ding Yi, who was stir-frying

"Your Majesty, my people of the Tang Dynasty finally don't have to suffer from lack of food anymore" Fang Xuanling burst into tears, with this potato, are you still afraid that you will be hungry

The eldest grandson Wuji dug out a bunch of potatoes and said righteously: "Your Majesty, Ding Yi's contribution is indispensable."

Li Er thought in his heart, last time the corn was only given to a Zhaowu captain, and this kid didn't have any opinions. It's just that he wants to build a city, and now he has a target of twenty or thirty stone potatoes, how to reward him, but this Ding Yi's thoughts, he has never been able to understand, and there is always a feeling that Ding Yi is leaving

The voice of the "Twenty-three Stones" weighing staff interrupted Li Er's thoughts, and he leaned over to continue digging potatoes

"Twenty-eight stones and two buckets"

Back in the field, the final potatoes are weighed. Overall good, almost up to the standard production of later generations.

The old man Wei Zheng looked at the shredded potatoes, and without saying a word, he picked up the chopsticks and ate them.

"Lord Wei, just eat steamed buns" Ding Yi kindly reminded that there are chili peppers

"Ahem, ahem, ahem"

"Suck the beginning of Pinghou, why is it this taste"

"Lord Wei, there are chili peppers added to it, oh it's the crops in this field" Ding Yi pointed to the chili pepper field and said to Wei Zheng.

"This pepper sizzles"

"Your Majesty, try these french fries" Ding took a plate of french fries and leaned over to Li Er's side.

Chen Hong immediately rushed out, and Li Er waved his hand and retreated.

"This way of eating is strange, wrapped in flour and fried in oil, it tastes good," Li Er took a bite and praised it.

The eldest grandson Wuji had already eaten, swallowed the contents of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Shiping Hou is worthy of being a superb cook, and his name is Chang'an" This sounds a bit like a curse in this era, but Ding Yi never cares about this. They also all know this, and they have eaten what Ding Yi made in the Lizheng Palace, but they don't know that Ding Yi ordered others to do it.

"Hehe" Ding Yi touched his head embarrassedly, and won the prize

"You often eat this stuff in your hometown," Li Er asked.

"It's okay, it's a little expensive to sell, it's better to cook and eat it at home."

"Since this thing is made in your hometown, why is it here again" Isn't it that you can't find your hometown, and how did these things come about?

Faced with the blow of the soul, Ding Yi did not hesitate and argued: "Your Majesty, this thing is actually found elsewhere, in the Americas"

"Americas"

"Yes, not only that, but corn is also produced there, and there is a crop similar to potatoes, called sweet potato, with a yield of forty or fifty stone per mu."
