Chapter Eighty-Eight: Stuffy Potatoes
Looking at the beautiful big eyes full of surprise in the dark clouds of Qibi, Li Su smiled smugly and continued to tell his plan. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
About half an hour later, Che Bi Zheluo said: "Your Royal Highness, the minister thinks that this plan is feasible, and the minister is willing to carry out this plan. ”
Qibi Wuyun said worriedly: "General Qibi Zheluo, this matter is too dangerous, how can I bear to let you take risks?" ”
"Your Royal Highness the Princess, you are deeply favored by the Khan (Qibi Holi), and you will not hesitate to go to the soup and fire!" ”
"Uncle Jerro." Qibi Wuyun said excitedly.
"Your Royal Highness, what do you call me?" Chimtero couldn't believe his ears.
"Uncle Zheluo, you were originally my distant uncle, and from now on, you will be my own uncle and Gao Wa." Qibi Wuyun said sincerely.
"This, the minister doesn't dare!" Chi Philip said excitedly.
"Uncle. Come, Gaowa, meet your uncle. "The Dark Cloud sisters saluted together.
Che Zhiluo was moved to tears, he knelt down, and said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, it is difficult to repay the courtier's kindness to the minister. ”
Li Su and Li Dan looked at the touching scene in front of them, glanced at each other, and said in their hearts: "This girl is really powerful, and she will really buy people's hearts." ”
In the blink of an eye, it is already mid-September, and the potatoes in the Guanzhong area have received a huge harvest.
On this day, Huang Qi, the director of the office of the Datang Science Research Institute, came to Liang Wangfu with a bag of fresh potatoes. As soon as he saw Li Su, the king of Liang, he said excitedly: "Your Highness, there is a bumper harvest, the minister has just come from Chang'an County, and the potatoes in the fields of the people there have been harvested.
Chen saw with his own eyes that there was a farmer whose potato yield per mu exceeded 6,100 catties, and the other farmers there had similar potato yields per mu. ”
Li Su squatted on the ground, took out a potato from the cloth bag, touched the clean and tender skin and said, "Yes, this potato is not small." ”
At this time, the eldest grandson Chong, Princess An Ning and Li Ning'er, who were playing cards in the room, also came out, and they also came to see the potatoes.
The wedding date of the eldest grandson Chong and Princess An Ning has been set, and it is set on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The crown prince Li Chengqian was very envious of them, he could move around casually, he couldn't come to Li Su often like the eldest grandson Chong and them, and the eldest grandson Chong and Princess An Ning often brought some things from the Liang Wangfu to Li Chengqian.
Princess An Ning saw potatoes for the first time and said, "This is a potato, I heard that it is delicious, I don't know how to eat it?" ”
Li Su said: "Potatoes are a good thing, and there are at least dozens of ways to eat them, among which my favorite way to eat them is roast beef with potatoes, and there are baked potatoes." ”
Li Ning'er, who was on the side, began to salivate as soon as she heard about eating. She said, "Brother Liang Wang, you bake potatoes for me." ”
In King Liang's mansion, there was no stove for barbecue at this time, and Li Su was a little embarrassed. Suddenly, he was childlike, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, today I will teach you an original way to eat." ”
Li Su instructed Yang Kang to find a shovel, dug a pit in the garden, dug a groove in the side wall of the pit, and then put a fist-sized clod of earth on top of it, like a turret.
He asked Yang Kang to bring firewood, stuffed it underneath, and lit the fire.
Eldest Sun Chong, An Ning and Li Ning'er were all watching curiously on the side, and the smoke was so smoky that they choked and coughed.
Huang Qi is 40 years old, and although he is curious, he can't mess around like these children, so he moved a chair and sat in the shade of a tree to enjoy the shade.
Li Ning'er couldn't be idle, she helped add firewood for a while, and lay there to blow the fire for a while, the soot blinded her eyes, and asked An Ning to help her blow the ash outside.
Yang Kang brought a fan, and the eldest grandson rushed to take it, fanning the wind vigorously, and the flames flickered, burning the clods of soil on top of it red.
"Alright." Li Su said. He used a stick to pull out the unburned firewood to make room inside, and then picked up the potatoes and stuffed them into the hearth.
"I'll come." Li Ning'er rushed to work, holding the potatoes and stuffing them vigorously.
Seeing that it was stuffed with potatoes, Li Su took a shovel and smashed the red-hot clods of soil, and then patted them firmly.
Li Su said: "Okay, let's just wait to taste the deliciousness." ”
Several people also moved chairs and waited in the shade of the trees.
Five minutes passed, Li Ning'er stared at her eyes and asked, "Brother Liang Wang, are you okay?" ”
Li Su took the cigarette in his mouth and said, "Wait a little longer." ”
After waiting for another three minutes, Li Ning'er asked, "Okay, Brother Liang Wang?" ”
Li Su smiled: "Ning'er, you see that the gate in the garden is not, you can walk over now and walk back, it's fine." ”
Li Ning'er is not stupid, it's a hot day, isn't this a toss? She pursed her lips and said, "I'm not going, I'll eat two more ice creams, and the time will come." ”
Ten minutes later, Li Su also walked over a little impatiently, and Li Ning'er had already run ahead of him.
Li Yu dug out the blackened potatoes from the soil and piled them on the ground. Everyone looked at the pile of black guys, and they were a little worried, and they didn't know how to eat these potatoes.
After a while, Li Su squatted down, touched the temperature of the potato with his hand, and then picked up a potato and broke it with his hand, revealing the tender white meat inside, and a fragrance suddenly wafted out!
Li Su didn't say anything, and opened his mouth to eat.
Changsun Chong and Yang Kang also picked it up and ate it, Yang Kang picked up a potato while eating, walked over and handed it to Huang Qi who was sitting under the tree.
Li Su saw that the eldest grandson Chong picked up a potato and handed it to Princess Anning. An Ning ate very elegantly, she took out her handkerchief, wrapped the potatoes, and buckled the skin of the potatoes with her fingers little by little, and then tasted it in small bites.
Li Su didn't hear Li Ning'er's movements, turned his head to look, and couldn't help but laugh - Li Ning'er had a bunch of potato skins under her feet, and she had already eaten the third one, and her small mouth was black, like a black beard.
Li Su walked back to the tree and sat with Huang Qi.
Huang Qi is in the planting base, and he has eaten potatoes for the first time, and he said: "Your Highness, potatoes are really a good thing, but the yield is too large." Thankfully, you have the foresight to limit the planting of the crops, otherwise the extra potatoes will not be eaten and will be wasted. ”
"I have compiled a booklet on the storage and consumption of potatoes, which will be handed over to the Ministry of Household Affairs tomorrow for them to copy and distribute to officials in various places," Li said.
I have already greeted His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. With your contribution to the grain planting base, a second-class earl is stable. ”
"Really?" Huang Qi asked excitedly.
