Chapter 74: The Power of Potato Beef Stew

Shi Simeng rode his horse, and after taking out the horns used by himself to gather the brothers in his camp, "Woo woo woo...... Not long after the sound of the vast horn sounded, more than 30 grassland men rode over, "Brother Amun, what's the matter?" "Yes, Amon, what are you bragging?" "Is it that the Great Khan is going to recruit us to fight again?" "yes, yes......."

Shi Simeng looked at this group of killers with a good face, and knew that he would kill and kill, "Okay, okay, I summoned you here to tell you that the agricultural officials from Banan have come to the country, saying that they have brought new grass seeds and grain ....... that can be grown on the grassland."

"Uh, it's not the Great Khan recruiting troops...... "A young guy was a little disappointed, Shi Simon knew him, this kid was the baby of a friend of his former army friend, "Dasai, why do you want to go to the front?" It's a pity that the Great Khan didn't issue a conscription order, and the Sogdians were exterminated by us......" Shi Simon said with a smile, this young man he called Dasai has a very good horse and archery skills, as an old cavalryman, he admires this kid very much.

"Alright, Dase, if the Black Panther comes to recruit soldiers, Uncle will definitely sign you up, are you satisfied?" Looking at Dasai with a disappointed face, Shi Simeng hurriedly comforted him, which made the young man turn sad into happy, "Uncle Amon, don't you scold me......" Dasai said.

"What a bastard....... Shi Simeng slapped the bastard boy, "I don't need to say more about the importance of pasture and grain, you all ask your family to help watch the livestock when you go back...... Give you half a stick of incense...... Meet here in a moment, and then follow me to the countryside......."

When Shi Simeng led the herdsmen in their tun to the square in front of the township office in Ganda Township, twenty miles away, he met several military friends who, like him, had made meritorious contributions in the battle to destroy Sogdia and had served as the commander of the tun.

Just when they were greeting each other and talking about livestock, a few people came out of the township office, "The chiefs of each tun, hurry up and set up the ......team for Lao Su and me" Su Mo, the head of Ganda Township, is a veteran who retired from the Black Panther Cavalry, although he is blonde and blue-eyed, but Lao Su speaks fluent Chinese, seeing that the chaotic scene suddenly became orderly, Su Mo nodded with satisfaction, and he said to a young black-clothed official next to him, "Mr. Zhou, I have finished the team for you, do you want to say a few words?" ”

The black-clothed official who was called "Mr. Zhou" by Su Mo did not shirk, he picked up the iron horn in his hand and said to the more than 1,000 herdsmen present, "Township Chief Su asked a certain person to say two sentences, and a certain family will say two sentences....... Maybe everyone knows that Zhou came to this Ganda Township on the orders of the king......" The more Mr. Zhou spoke, the more excited he became, and finally he said, "The king wants me to tell everyone that as long as you follow the path he guided, this day will definitely be better and better......."

Mr. Zhou's words resonated with the herdsmen, especially the former Turkic herdsmen like Shi Simeng, when he heard Mr. Zhou's sentence that life must be better and better, he couldn't help but take the lead in responding to the peace, "Follow the Great Khan and live a good life!" ”

With Shi Simeng's roar, those herdsmen all reacted, and they all followed Shi Simeng and shouted, "Follow the Great Khan and live a good life!" ”

A black-clothed official standing beside Mr. Zhou said to Su Mo, "The tun chief who took the lead is very good, what is his name?" ”

"Oh, his name is Shi Simeng, and he is a member of the Yuanzhi clan of the original Ashina....... "Su Mo looked at it, it turned out to be Shi Simeng, he was happy, this is his old subordinate, since he has entered the eyes of this adult, it is not impossible to give him a ride by himself.

"Uh, I see...... Such an excellent model of transformation must be well praised!! The black-clothed official stroked his beard and said with an appreciative expression.

Just when the black-clothed official and Su Mo were discussing how to set up a model of Shi Simeng, Mr. Zhou motioned for everyone to be quiet, and he took the iron horn and said, "I called everyone here today to bring you new forage varieties, please come with me to ,......."

Mr. Zhou said that he rode on the horse brought to him by his entourage, and as soon as he raised his whip, he went out of the square, everyone quickly found their horses and followed, and Mr. Zhou walked to the front of the ridges of the two fields and stopped, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the new grass cultivated by the king and the master of the Daomen, this kind of grass is called alfalfa by the king, we have done a lot of experiments, and found that the stems and leaves of this alfalfa are tender and delicious, whether it is green feed, silage, preparing green hay, processing grass powder, or used to match forage, All kinds of livestock and poultry are the most popular food, and it is also the first choice for pigs, horses, cattle and sheep and poultry farming........"

The herdsmen present are all good herders, and they are very happy after hearing that this alfalfa is much better than other pastures. Thanks to the great Taishang Daozun, thanks to him for making his best descendants, his great khan descended to the prairie, the herdsmen are devout grassland believers, after hearing that this alfalfa has a high yield, and does not pick the ground, livestock also like to eat, even people can eat, the most important thing is that when they heard that this is their own great khan and Daomen together, the herdsmen excitedly shouted the slogan, "Taishang Daozun is above, the sun and the moon are placed, long live the great khan born in heaven and earth, long live, long live!" ”

The herdsmen don't care if this long live can be used on their head of the Great Khan, in their hearts, the Great Khan of Broken Leaf City is their master, as for the Tang Emperor of Chang'an, the herdsmen said who is Li Er?

Finally let everyone settle down, and Mr. Zhou led everyone back to the township office, saying that he would invite everyone to dinner at noon. When Shi Simeng and the others went to cook with their wooden bowls, they were surprised to see that their wooden bowls were filled with beef and a strange golden tuber, and the aroma came straight to their noses, "It smells so good! Shi Simeng couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so fragrant." I just don't know how it tastes? ”

When they were all seated, Mr. Zhou said, "Come, this is the king's favorite dish, called potato stew!" Hehehe, these golden tubers are potatoes! Let's try it, how does it taste? With that, he took the lead and picked up the spoon, scooped up a piece of potato from the wooden bowl and stuffed it into his mouth.

Seeing that Mr. Zhou, Township Chief Su and other officials were eating one after another, Shi Simeng and the others did the same, dug a big spoonful and stuffed their mouths, closed their eyes and tasted carefully, and after a while, their eyes widened, this thing was even more delicious than their favorite beef! Especially Shi Simeng, the potato stew in his wooden bowl is still very hot, he swallowed the hot straight feet, but he was reluctant to spit out, the potatoes melted soft and rosin in the mouth, and soaked in beef broth, this is really a delicacy that only gods can eat!

"Guys, I asked you, is this potato beef stew delicious?" Mr. Zhou smiled and watched everyone gobble up there, very happy.

"Da forbearance, Zo (my lord, delicious)......." Shi Simeng said vaguely with potatoes in his mouth.

"Hehehe, this potato is a high-yield grain that our king asked for from the Taishang Dao Ancestor, the potato is not as delicate as corn, and it has to grow on the great plain with good water, fertilizer, light and heat....... Potatoes like shade and coolness, very easy to feed, even in a prairie like ours, the yield is not low at all! You say that this is the best gift that the king has given to us people is the best gift that the king has given to us people, who is full of food, who is hungry and has a very high yield, and who does not pick the land, that can be grown on dry land, and that can be stored in storage? Mr. Zhou took another bite of bald beef stew and said to the herdsmen.

"My lord, how many crops can this potato produce in a year? What is the yield? Shi Simeng, who had stuffed a bite of potatoes, asked loudly at this time.

"Good question, good question!" Mr. Zhou was very happy, he first praised Shi Simeng's question, which made the latter very proud, he continued, "This potato, don't pick the ground, in our place, plant it in early summer, and it can be harvested in autumn!" As for the yield, hehehe, I can only say that it is very high, very high! ”

When the herdsmen heard that the potatoes were so good, they were naturally very happy, "Long live the Great Khan!" The voices came and went, they liked their current Great Khan in their hearts, he provided everyone with stable pastures and livestock, and sent everyone good pasture and grain with a very high yield, such a Khan, which herdsman does not like it, does not praise?

Not only in Ganda Township, but also in the territory controlled by Li Lu, as far as South Baikal, as far as outside the city of Broken Leaves, there are agricultural governors like Mr. Zhou haunted the countryside, and they brought the good intentions of the Khan in Broken Leaf City to the people under Li Lu's rule, and as a result, both herdsmen and farmers expressed a high degree of recognition of Li Lu's khan, and the result was that Li Lu found that there was an extra public opinion index in the background of his system, with a full score of 100 points, and Li Lu found that his public satisfaction was as high as ninety.....

"The power of this potato beef stew is really not small!" Li Lu withdrew from the backstage, very complacent, he didn't expect that the potatoes he exchanged would have such a good effect when he used them to be promoted by his system people!
