Chapter 14: The Potato Feast (2)

Happy New Year. Ten chapters were released today, two chapters every two hours. I wish readers and friends a happy Chinese New Year and all the best!

It's too simple, isn't it? Everyone muttered in their hearts, but it was not good for the Fan family's face, so they took the tray one after another, picked up the chopsticks and barely tasted it. This tasting, these business tycoons can't keep their mouths, the noodle-like thing, not only has a unique flavor, cool and smooth like ice, white like jade, but also soft and trembling, spicy and delicious; The pieces of beef roasted like radish are also ruddy in color, fragrant meat, soft and delicious, and they are all delicious that have never been seen before. It's the steamed bun that Huang Bula, and it tastes unique.

From the morning to the present, everyone has only drunk a stomach full of tea and water, and they have long been hungry. When encountering such deliciousness, how can they still endure it, they are like a whirlwind and clouds, and they eat it like a wolf, what kind of demeanor and decency do they care there. Even the steamed buns and the soup were also eaten cleanly by them.

Everyone was full of food and drink, but there were still some unfinished things. Zhang Biao touched his round belly, looked at a fat face, and asked with a smile: "Brother-in-law, what are you giving us food?" Why haven't I seen it before? Everyone in the hall also looked puzzled, and looked at Fan Yongdou with their eyes.

"It's a potato!" A neutral voice came from the doorway. Everyone looked back, and a beautiful boy floated in from the door. I saw him come to the middle of the hall with a calm and smiling face. Fan Gui, a servant of the Fan family, carried a big bag in his hand and followed him respectfully and step by step. The young man stood in the center of the living room, waved to the people around him, and said loudly: "Hello elders, junior Fan Yubin is polite!" ”

"Oh, it's Yubin." When everyone saw it, it was Fan Yubin, the head of the Fan family, and they greeted each other with a smile.

"Potatoes? What's that? The second monk Zhang Biao was puzzled, he frowned slightly, and asked suspiciously.

Fan Yubin took the pocket from Fan Gui's hand, poured the contents on the ground, and then pointed to the round and yellow pile of things on the ground, and said with a smile: "This is the potato, it came from the West, also called potato。。。。。。 ”

With the introduction of Fan Yubin. Soon, these treacherous and cunning guys smelled silver from Fan Yubin's words.

"What? What do you say, what kind of potato yield per mu can reach more than 3,000 catties? Two more seasons? Didn't I hear me wrong? Huang Yunfa said loudly with his throat pulled.

"Yes. If managed properly and with some planting experience, the yield should be higher in the future. Fan Yubin was waiting for this question, he was confident, and said with a smile.

"Yubin, can we plant here?" Wang Dayu asked tremblingly with his gray beard. All at once their ears stood up. You must know that although these people here are all business tycoons with millions of family fortunes, they all have the same land complex as the people of that era. Without exception, their families have a large amount of land.

In recent years, the climate in Daming has been abnormal, cold and dry, almost one out of ten. The yield per mu of good land is only one or two hundred catties, and most of the land is out of harvest, and even begins to be barren. They don't care much about the income from the land, though. But no one is afraid of a lot of money, right? With so much land, they can't make ends meet, and they all have a headache for it. Now they see the potatoes as if they were seeing a lifesaver.

"I can plant!" Fan Yubin did not disappoint them, he said categorically: "Potatoes are a high-yield crop. We have plenty of sunshine here, a large temperature difference between day and night, and soft and sandy soil, which is especially suitable for potato growth. Now the spring wheat has just been harvested. The best time to plant potatoes is after a few days, and they will be ready for harvest next spring. ”

"Do you have seeds?" "Are seeds expensive?" "Does anyone know how to plant?" Everyone was interested when they heard this, and all kinds of questions came one after another. Another question is more offbeat: "Is it difficult to make something like the noodles you just ate with potatoes?" "It seems that the person asking is a standard foodie.

"There are some seeds now, the price is not expensive, and the planting technique is even simpler. If you want to plant, you can report the amount of planting first, we can provide seeds and technology for free, and our Fan family can also buy all the harvested potatoes. Fan Yubin answered them one by one unhurriedly.

Fan Yubin paused for a moment, and then said with a smile: "The noodle-like thing I ate just now is called potato flour." In the future, we will produce and sell this potato flour in large quantities. The dish eaten is called potato roast beef. Manju is also made with potato flour. These things are made from potatoes. ”

"My family grows 500 acres, and my family plants 300 acres. . . ." When everyone heard this, they were so enthusiastic that they reported the number of potatoes to be planted at home, and soon the planting area reached more than 3,000 acres.

"Elders, how much each family can plant depends on how many seeds they can buy." Fan Yubin said slowly; "The seeds will be shipped back soon. You can try some of them this year, on the one hand, to see the effect, and on the other hand, you can also accumulate experience. When the potatoes are harvested next spring, everyone can plant as much as they want. ”

Fan Yubin pondered for a while, and then said sincerely: "Our Fan family is going to open a workshop specializing in the production of potato flour and potato flour. Everyone has tasted potato flour and potato steamed buns just now, so there is no need to say more about the taste. The younger generation thinks that these two foods are especially suitable for us in the north. The yield of potatoes is extremely high, the price is high, and it is not impossible to replace wheat and rice as the staple food after large-scale planting in our Zhangjiakou and Xuanfu towns in the future. The market prospect and potential should be good. If you elders also want to do it, you can come to the Fan family, whether it is the technology of planting potatoes, or the process of producing potato flour and potato flour, our Fan family must know everything and say everything. ”

The eyes of everyone looking at Fan Yubin became a little complicated, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: The Fan family is really talented, amazing. Fan Yongdou is an old thing, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a thousand-year-old fox spirit; What about Fan Sanba? is also a powerful character, and he has the potential to be better than the blue. Now there is another Fan Yubin in the grandchildren. This Fan Yubin is obviously not simple! He is young, neither humble nor arrogant, stable and generous. Then a big piece of cake was thrown out when it was thrown out, and its face did not change color and its heart did not beat. Such a mind, courage, such a person, what a character! The Fan family has three ancestors and grandchildren, and it is difficult to think about being underdeveloped.
