At the end of December, it was rare for Suzhou to have heavy snowfall, which was rare in the past decade. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The so-called Ruixue Trillion Year, many people feel that this is Lord Li's way of governing Suzhou, and even God has lowered auspiciousness.

And when Li Hongfei learned of these rumors, he couldn't help but sigh: "A normal weather change is also said to be so mysterious, the loss is that it snows in winter, and if it snows in June, it must not be scolded to death by the people!" ”

Heavy snow closed the road, a lot of goods are difficult to transport, a few days ago, the city is still people coming and going, now become bustling, but there are a lot of children who have never seen the heavy snow, happy to do this, three or three two get together, build snowmen, snowball fights, so lively.

Li Hongfei has passed the age of snowball fights, and he has no official business to deal with during this time, so he naturally spends himself at home and accompanies the beauty by the way.

"I didn't expect this sweet potato to be so delicious after it was baked, especially in this winter, eating a steaming roasted sweet potato, from the inside out, the whole person feels warm." Chen Yuanyuan praised while taking a small bite of the freshly baked sweet potato.

Sweet potatoes are also known as sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes, red moss, white potatoes, and sweet potatoes.

The reason why it is called sweet potato is probably because it is a "foreign product".

According to legend, sweet potatoes were first cultivated by the Indians, and later introduced to the Philippines, where they were regarded as a treasure by the local rulers, and it was strictly forbidden to spread them, and offenders were punished by death.

In the forty-sixth year of Wanli (1618 AD), famine continued in various parts of Daming, and even some people, feeding on grassroots Guanyin soil, two Chinese who were doing business in the Philippines, found that this sweet potato was very easy to grow, and the yield was quite abundant, so they managed to weave some sweet potato vines into bamboo baskets and cables, secretly crossed the sea, transported back to their hometown in Fujian, and then planted to curb the land of China.

Sweet potatoes were introduced to the Ming Dynasty for only a few decades, and people's perception of this substance was only as a coarse grain, which was mixed with rice to make sweet potato porridge during the famine years.

In addition, eating too many sweet potatoes will cause flatulence, so they are not liked by people.

To put it bluntly, if you eat too much of this sweet potato, you will often fart, whether ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign, it is extremely indecent to fart in front of everyone.

But this ancient person, how do they know any physiological knowledge, whenever they encounter this embarrassing situation, they can only hold back, and it is light to hold their own discomfort.

People have no love for sweet potatoes, so naturally they don't have the heart to study the practice of sweet potatoes, and only people like Li Hongfei who have crossed over will do it themselves and tinker with these things.

"Since it's delicious, you can eat more." Li Hongfei said to Chen Yuanyuan with a cheap smile.

Chen Yuanyuan was also a celebrity before, and later became Wu Sangui's concubine, she has always been worry-free, she has never eaten this kind of sweet potato, which is not even very rare for ordinary people, so naturally she doesn't understand the "magic" of this sweet potato.

It's no wonder that Li Hongfei has been single before the crossing, in this romantic environment, it is just a matter of not having a famous advertising slogan for Yoremi, but instead thinking about watching beautiful jokes.......

"This sweet potato is already so delicious, the artichoke you asked the merchant to find before must be even more magical!" Chen Yuanyuan said with emotion.

During this time, she and Li Hongfei got along day and night, and it was not uncommon for Li Hongfei to make those magical things, but anything that could be affirmed by Li Hongfei was by no means ordinary.

Artichoke, that is, potato, commonly known as potato.

In the mid-sixteenth century (1570), potatoes were brought to Europe from South America by a Spanish colonizer, and at that time people always admired the beauty of their flowers and used them as decorations.

Later, a French agronomist, Ann Obamanch, discovered that potatoes could not only be eaten, but also used to make bread, etc., after a long period of observation and personal practice, French farmers began to grow potatoes on a large scale.

The reason why Li Hongfei asked overseas businessmen to find artichoke is also because sweet potatoes are not loved by Chinese people.

This artichoke is different, it is not only drought tolerant and high yield, but also can be used as food and dishes at the same time, later generations of Chinese people, perennial sweet potatoes, may not be few, but perennial potatoes, absolutely a lot, even many regions, so far potatoes as a staple food.

"That artichoke can not only be used as a staple food, but also can be made into delicious dishes, and when you get the artichoke, I will personally cook a few dishes for you, whether it is delicious or not is difficult to say at present, but it is definitely something you have never eaten before." Li Hongfei said with an oath.

Before the crossing, Li Hongfei liked to eat potatoes very much, his specialty dishes were hot and sour shredded potatoes, and potato stewed beef, and now he hadn't eaten potatoes for almost a year.

And when Chen Yuanyuan heard Li Hongfei's words, his pretty face turned crimson in an instant, and his heart was like a deer.

Since ancient times, the gentleman has been cooking, Li Hongfei is the king of Suzhou, he can cook for a woman himself, it can be seen that this woman has the weight in his heart, can Chen Yuanyuan not think nonsense in his heart?

However, it is obvious that Chen Yuanyuan thinks too much, and Li Hongfei is purely greedy, but he is worried that those chefs have not touched potatoes and will not be able to do well..........

On this snowy day, roasting the fire, eating delicious food, and chatting with beautiful women can be regarded as a fairy-like day.

It's a pity that such a beautiful moment can't last long, just when Li Hongfei and Chen Yuanyuan were chatting energetically, the guards outside the door came in and reported: There is someone from Jinling City.

Li Hongfei invited the people into the study, and while pouring tea in person, he said unhurriedly: "Commander Wang, what are you doing in Suzhou this winter, but what happened in the palace?" ”

That's right, the person who came was Wang Guoxing, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, wearing a flying fish robe, a fur windbreaker, and a little snow hanging between the hats, obviously all the way to the dust.

"There is nothing going on in the palace, but there will be a big event in Yangzhou, and this official was ordered by His Majesty to rush over overnight, just to inform Mr. of this." Wang Guoxing said.

is called informing, but I actually want to come over and listen to Li Hongfei's opinion.

"The Qing soldiers are going to attack Yangzhou?" Li Hongfei asked.

"Huh? How did the sir know? Wang Guoxing was curious.

This news is still yesterday, Dongchang Fanzi sent back the information, the Manchu Qing Dingguo general, Aixin Jueluo Duoduo, led the Zhengbai Banner, Zhenglan Banner, and the Han Eight Banners, a total of 300,000 troops, in the tenth day of the month of the month (December), in Beijing to swear, waving troops south.

It's only 20 months now, and in just ten days, plus the heavy snow covers the mountain, if it weren't for the developed intelligence network of Dongchang, it would be impossible to learn this news now, and Li Hongfei, who is far away in Suzhou, how could he get the information so quickly?

"This is nothing, it was rumored earlier, Li Zicheng was trapped in Tongguan, the general trend has gone, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has no worries, and it is time to act." Li Hongfei said very casually.

Li Hongfei is a traverser, as soon as Wang Guoxing came up, he said that something big was about to happen in Yangzhou, and during this time period, the only major event in Yangzhou was that it was besieged by the Qing army, so Li Hongfei could easily guess one or two.

"Sir is worthy of .......... By the way, I don't know what Mr. thinks about Yangzhou? Wang Guoxing gets straight to the point.

originally wanted to say that the other party was a clever plan, but after thinking about it, the other party was a god descending to earth, and Li Hongfei now has no "mana" and doesn't like to be mentioned "the past", so Wang Guoxing stopped in time and said the purpose of this trip.
