Chapter 121: Eating Potatoes Raw
Several doctors passed it on, but they didn't know what this potato was, Su Bai smiled and said, "A few gentlemen, I don't know if it's possible to test it to see if this thing is poisonous?" A doctor smiled: "The old man happens to have the habit of carrying silver needles with him, just try it!" [Apocryphal in the book!] Don't be gullible! ใ
Su Bai said respectfully: "Then Mr. Trouble!" The doctor took out a small cloth bag in his arms, took out a silver needle and inserted it into the potato, pulled it up and looked, it was still as white as ever! The doctor smiled and said, "In this way, it is non-toxic!" โ
Su Bai picked up a potato, took a big bite with a click, chewed it quickly, and the guards around him looked at it, this, I don't know what will happen to people after eating it, why did this Lord Wang swallow it? That's how hungry it takes to get out of this!
"Ugly cow brother! How so! Li Chengqian ran over with a scream, grabbed Su Bai's shoulders with both hands and shook them desperately, Su Bai actually saw obvious worry in his eyes! Even his eyes were a little red, and his anxious expression was overflowing.
Su Bai is a little fฤ lรจng, the two of us have just met twice, you don't need to do this, do you really covet my beauty? After thinking about it, Su Bai understood that this should be because of his good aura, plus he and Li Chengqian are still the same age, so it is easy to get along.
Su Bai swallowed the potato and said, "Your Highness! Don't worry, isn't it okay to see this little pig? Li Chengqian hurriedly said: "This pig is a pig, and a person is a human, how can it be mixed up!" A few of you, hurry up and show my virtuous brother! Li Chengqian pointed to a few doctors.
Several doctors hurriedly stepped forward, rolling their eyelids, the pulse of the trumpet, and the inquiry, which made Su Bai speechless for a while.
"Brother Xian! Why is that! Li Chengqian hurriedly said, Su Bai smiled and looked in the direction of Juxian and said, "Your Highness, do you know how many people there are in my Juxian County?" Li Chengqian was stunned, shook his head and said he didn't know, Su Bai smiled and said: "There are more than 20,000 now, how can Your Highness know how many farmers are among them?" โใ Li Chengqian continued to shake his head, and Su Bai smiled: "Sixty percent!" And that's not counting children, otherwise the proportion is even greater! Does Your Highness know what they eat in a day? โใ
Li Chengqian felt like a fool, why didn't he know the question Su Bai asked, he felt a little ashamed, and shook his head with a red face. Su Bai chuckled and said: "The strong laborers in the family eat dry chestnut rice, and all the rest drink porridge, one meal a day in the morning and one meal in the evening, and even if it is a strong laborer!" I can only drink porridge at night! โใ
Li Chengqian was surprised, he had never been out of Chang'an a few times when he was so old, and he had seen the suffering of the poor, but the most bitter thing he had ever seen was only white rice and pickles, and now he actually heard that the whole family drank porridge, and only one person could eat dry rice, and only one meal!
This somewhat broke Li Chengqian's worldview, Li Chengqian looked back at the tribe who was following him in disbelief, and the tribe nodded at him with difficulty: "Lord Wang is not wrong, this is already a very good meal, and there are no longer a few people in my Tang Dynasty who even eat only one porridge a day!" โใ
"But, but!" Li Chengqian wanted to say something, but he felt as if something was stuck in his throat, which made him unable to open his mouth, in fact, he also knew in his heart that what Su Bai said was very likely to be true, because he had no need to deceive himself.
Su Bai continued to laugh and said: "I just estimated the weight of this plant, it weighs about six catties, does Your Highness know how much grain this can produce if it is an acre of land?" Li Chengqian continued to shake his head, but this did not delay him from understanding what Su Bai meant.
Su Bai chuckled and said, "About eighty stones, does Your Highness know the yield of wheat in one acre of land?" Li Chengqian continued to shake his head shamefully, and Su Bai chuckled: "It's about six stones, Your Highness, this is more than ten times the difference!" โใ
Li Chengqian's head slammed, even a fool can understand what Su Bai means, not to mention Li Chengqian, who has undergone countless trainings since he was a child! Li Chengqian's breath became short, not only him, but all the people he heard Su Bai say were breathing rapidly. Eighty stones! Eighty stones! These three words are like a magic spell, directly grabbing their hearts!
Su Bai was very satisfied with their reactions, and chuckled: "So I can't wait, I want to taste it for the people of the world first!" Determine if the plant is edible or not! You can plant it one day earlier! One day sooner the people will no longer go hungry! That's why I eat it! โใ
Everyone was shocked, looking at Su Bai standing under the rising sun, and suddenly felt that this person would shine! What kind of spirit is this? Maybe even a saint is like that! What is the difference between this and the Shennong clan who tasted the herbs back then?
Li Chengqian dusted off his sleeves and robes and bowed deeply to Su Bai, so frightened that Su Bai hurriedly dodged, this crown prince's bow he couldn't stand it! Li Chengqian said persistently: "Please also invite the virtuous brother, no!" Please accept my worship Mr. Wang! This worship is not only for myself, but also for the people of the world! Behind him, fifty subordinates, several doctors bowed in unison and said, "Please also ask Mr. Wang to accept our worship!" โใ
At that moment, Su Bai's heart was warm, like a wisp of clear water flowing by
Su Bai was 'helped' back to the county government by them, and the four little pigs went back together, Su Bai emphasized that he was okay countless times, but none of them believed it, and insisted on sending Su Bai back.
After arriving at the county office, Li Chengqian called a knight and told him to go back to Chang'an to report the news, but Su Bai stopped him and said, "No! Now I don't know how people eat this plant, and I ask Your Highness to wait for a day, and if I don't have any adverse reactions tomorrow morning, I will tell Your Majesty the news at that time, so as not to make Your Majesty happy! โ
When Li Chengqian heard this, he also felt that what Su Bai said made some sense, and turned his head to the knight and said, "Order, I will spend the night in the county government tonight and will not return to Chang'an!" You go back to Chang'an, notify the East Palace, and say that the palace will not go back today, and go to the Imperial Doctor Department to find two imperial doctors to come over, and ask for the kind of person who knows poison and is good at detoxification! Hurry up and bring the Imperial Doctor back and let them prepare the tools and medicines for detoxification, understand? โ
The knight knelt down on one knee and said, "Understood! โ
"Go ahead!"
"Yes!"
The knight turned over and got on his horse, and there was a sound of horses' hooves, and the man disappeared. Li Chengqian turned his head to look at Su Bai and said, "Brother Xian, hold on, it won't be long before you can reach Juxian County."
Su Bai was a little embarrassed, didn't he tell you, I'm fine, it's not that I'm being polite with Li Chengqian, but I'm really fine, what if I eat raw potatoes? This isn't a potato with sprouts either! However, looking at Li Chengqian's worried eyes, Su Bai still didn't say anything.
The gentlemen behind him were also a little lucky, they had carefully examined Su Baizai's body, and there was really nothing wrong with it, but in front of the prince, who could talk so much? Now that the Imperial Doctor is here, I can finally put my mind at ease.
Li Chengqian gave an order, and fifty sergeants came to the back garden together, tightly guarding the nine potato seedlings! The other sergeants called the county yawei a watery one.
The sergeant's food problem can only be handed over to the county government, Su Bai instructed Tang Ju to let him think of a way, as for Baiweiju, there is no need to think about it, they are now tired and half dead when they cook for the workers every day, and they can't wait to take turns cooking 24 hours a day!
I can only go to the people to take care of these meals, and give them some processing costs!
With the increase in the amount of rรฉn liu in Juxian County, there are also more small traders, and Su Bai has issued a notice before that no apportionment will be charged! Although the price of grain has risen now, there are still many people who set up stalls to sell food, and the price has also increased symbolically a little.
Su Bai arranged these people to the food street, and now that the food street has been built, just wait for the widows in the county to prepare the sauce, and he can call the people of the cattle village to live in the food street, and when the time comes, one person will give the secret recipe of a dish, and he will not believe that it will not be popular! Of course, it will take a month or two to do this, because most of the snacks that Su Bai will make are pork, and it is the kind of pork that has been yฤn gฤ!
When it was time to eat at noon, Li Chengqian somewhat believed that Su Bai said that he was fine, because he had never seen a patient who had such a good appetite for Su Bai, and he did not use a bowl for lunch for dinner, but used a utensil that could be called a 'basin', which was specially made at first glance. A large plate of vegetables was poured on top of the rice, and then he buried his head completely, and all he could see was chopsticks flying up and down shaking back and forth.
The corners of Li Chengqian's mouth twitched, it seems that this plant is indeed non-toxic!
"Your Majesty! Just now, the prince came with the news, saying that he will spend the night in Juxian County tonight" Behind him, Wang Xi's voice was flat, Li Shimin was still reviewing the folds, and he didn't take it seriously when he heard Wang Xi's words, and nodded lightly: "Where is Wang Chouniu?" Wang Xi smiled: "Exactly."
Li Shimin chuckled and said: "It seems that he has a good relationship with Wang Chouniu, that kid is good, he has brains and dares to practice, and he wants to do something for the people, and there is nothing bad about the two of them having a good relationship now." However, the prince has always been cautious, why did he remember to spend the night in Juxian today? โใ
Wang Xi shook his head and said: "The carrier pigeon from Juxian County has not returned, and after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrived in Juxian County, Xuanwei retreated for ten miles, so as not to let the prince sergeant misunderstand." Li Shimin nodded, and didn't ask anything, the play between these children was not worth his time thinking about, he didn't know how many military affairs he had to deal with every day.
He didn't expect that tomorrow morning, something would happen that would change the world! And Datang also changed its trajectory because of this incident, and went in a completely different direction!
