The potatoes are completely ready, and the flue-cured tobacco is almost there. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Potatoes and corn, two high-yield grains, can become the granary of the Han Dynasty. At this time, in the first year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, it is recorded in the history books that in the third year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, the Yellow River will burst its embankment. Every year, the Yellow River bursts its banks, causing a great famine.

Yan Ming hoped that corn and potatoes would be promoted before the great famine. Next year, when the city of Chang'an is full of corn and potatoes, the famine on both sides of the Yellow River may be resolved.

Yan Ming has not thought about the matter of governing the Yellow River. But with the current science and technology, if you want to completely control the Yellow River, it is simply a fool's dream.

He has no theoretical knowledge, but no technical conditions, and it is just a luxury to want to control the Yellow River so that the people will no longer be displaced.

After a night of tossing and turning in the hot spring palace, everyone was asleep. Only Yan Ming got up very early.

When he came to the kitchen of the Hot Spring Palace, there were already palace people waiting, and when they saw Yan Ming coming over early in the morning, several palace people were very surprised.

Yan Ming stretched his waist and greeted everyone.

These palace people had all eaten the corn dried food made by Yan Ming yesterday, and they had a good impression of him. Especially a few little palace maids, who are at the age of Huaichun, are so obsessed with a young and handsome little marquis like Yan Ming.

"Yesterday's potatoes, wash them with water and peel them." Yan Ming said, and someone did it.

"Find two big roosters, slaughter them, chop them into pieces of meat, and this marquis wants to use them." Yan Ming said as he saw the person picking up potatoes, and he wanted to kick him away.

This is a young waiter, and he actually peeled off the washed potatoes with a knife, and wasted a lot.

However, Yan Ming still couldn't resist kicking out, but walked over, took the knife in his hand, and said, "The skin of the potatoes is not very thick, just shave off one layer." ”

As he spoke, he removed the thin layer of skin from the outside of the potato. The little chamberlain was not very old, looked at it curiously, and asked, "What is the Hou Ye going to do today?" ”

Yan Ming smiled and said, "What's delicious, I don't have your share now." If you want to eat, get two chickens later, and after the potatoes are processed for Ben Hou, Ben Hou will tell you how to do it, so that you can not only eat, but also make it in the future, which can be used to please the old lady! ”

The little chamberlain was extremely smart, and immediately thanked Yan Ming with a fist, and said with a smile: "Yan Hou is doing things, it's wonderful. No wonder the palace attendants all said that if you make friends with Yanhou, your life will be in vain! ”

"Really? Says who? Yan Ming asked indifferently, as if he didn't care.

"Who else said that the two eldest brothers of Hungary and Hungary were destroyed. There is also Chengxin, since he followed Hou Ye, he is arrogant, more spirited than when he was in Weiyang Palace! The little chamberlain said with a little sycophancy.

Yan Ming nodded, and while the two of them were talking, they put a pot of chicken stewed potatoes into the pot.

If others heard the words of the little chamberlain, they might be happy. But Yan Ming was not happy. In any dynasty, it is not a good thing for the foreign ministers and the inner servants to get too close. Nowadays, the chamberlains all say that they are good, which is very likely to cause many misunderstandings.

In particular, Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who attached great importance to centralized power, would definitely not turn a blind eye.

"In the future, it's better to go a little farther with the inner servant." Yan Ming thought about it, and the work in his hand did not slow down.

But after half an hour, the fragrance wafted from the cauldron in the stove room. This smell made the little waiter next to him stick out his tongue and secretly swallow his saliva.

Originally, Yan Ming wanted him to taste it, but when he thought that he had to be cautious about making friends with the chamberlain, he forgot about the invitation. He picked up the spoon, lifted the lid of the pot, gently filled a little soup in it, tasted the saltiness, and then nodded with satisfaction.

The chicken was still a little undercooked, so Yan Ming covered the pot and immediately asked people to get some noodles. Although it is too late to make noodles, it is just as delicious to steam a pot of dead noodles with a pot of chicken stewed potatoes.

When the nobles of the hot spring palace began to get up and wash, the whole hot spring palace was filled with the aroma of chicken and stewed potatoes.

Empress Dowager Dou and the old lady of the Yan Chen family were unusually close to each other. The Empress Dowager didn't let the old lady go last night, and the two old men were lying in the same bed, and now they were awakened by the aroma early in the morning.

Empress Dowager Dou looked at the old lady of the Yan Chen family and said with a smile: "It must be Yan Ming, a little monkey, who did it again, except for him, no one else can make such a fragrant taste." ”

Yan Chen had never smelled such a fragrant smell, so he carefully identified it and said, "It seems to be stewed chicken, but there is a different smell, which is more fragrant than small chicken!" ”

"Let's not guess, let's just get up and take a look."

When the two old people got up, naturally a palace maid came up to change their clothes and wash them.

When everyone gathered in the front hall, they saw a large round table, with several plates, all of which were filled with the same dish—chicken stewed potatoes.

And around, it's a dead face that looks a little ugly, and it's completely different from the white and soft hair.

"You little monkey, what are you making up again, it's so fragrant!" Empress Dowager Dou asked with a smile.

Before Yan Ming could answer, Liu Yan took over and said: "There is a character like Yan Hou in this Maolingyi, Queen Mother, I don't think this Yan Ming needs to go to the court on an errand, it is better to be in this hot spring palace and cook food for your old man." ”

Naturally, she was telling jokes. Everyone agreed. Everyone, unanimous in saying that the Hot Spring Palace is good, and even Wang Wan made it clear that she didn't want to go back to Changle Palace.

Empress Dowager Dou first took a bite of muscles, ate gently, and then sandwiched a piece of potatoes, and when she ate it, her eyes instantly lit up.

"What is this thing called? Tastes great. Empress Dowager Dou asked.

"Back to the Empress Dowager, this is called a potato, which is planted by the minister." Yan Ming lowered his eyebrows and said pleasing to his eyes.

Liu Che on the side saw that Yan Ming had taken out new ingredients, and he was also curious. He didn't know how many new things Yan Ming could still brew.

"The taste of this potato seems to be better than yesterday's corn!" Empress Dowager Dou smiled, and then changed the conversation and asked, "I don't know how the yield of this potato compares with corn?" ”

Yan Ming bowed down and replied: "The yield of corn per mu is about 1,000 catties, and this potato, according to the conservative estimate, its yield per mu should be 2,000 to 3,000 catties." ”

"What?"

"What do you say?"

"In front of the emperor, you can't talk nonsense!"

In an instant, there was everything. Even Wang Huan, who has always been calm, looked at Yan Ming with excitement at the moment, waiting for Yan Ming to clearly state the yield of potatoes.
