Cao Cao held the consciousness of dying together, and decided to pull Yuan Shao and Feng Ji into the water, anyway, he couldn't let himself be embarrassed alone. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

And Cao Cao's question can be regarded as stumped both Feng Ji and Yuan Shao, because as natives of the Han Dynasty, it is naturally impossible for them to see potatoes, a foreign product, after all, there is still a Pacific Ocean between them.

However, Feng Ji's head is very bright, although he has never seen such strange ingredients, but he can completely lead the trouble and implicate Liu Xin in this matter, so that Cao Cao will not embarrass himself anymore.

So, Feng Ji said confidently: "Although I don't know what this ingredient is called, but since this ingredient is provided by Immortal Master Liu, then Immortal Master Liu must know the name of this ingredient, so I also ask Immortal Master Liu for advice." ”

Cao Cao originally wanted to say that Feng Ji was playing tricks and actually involved Liu Xin, but Cao Cao was also very curious about what this pitch-black thin strip-like object was.

Liu Xin, who was watching the excitement on the sidelines, didn't expect Feng Ji to pull himself into it, so he had to say helplessly: "This ingredient is called potatoes, which is a plant I brought back from the Western Regions, as the name suggests, potatoes are ingredients that grow in the soil, it can be steamed and eaten as a staple food, and can also be cut into thin strips as a vegetable like now, and of course it can also be cut into pieces for stew." ”

As soon as Liu Xin finished speaking, Chun Yuqiong on the side had the opportunity to interject a sentence, "It turns out that this is called a potato, and it grows underground, no wonder it's so dark." ”

Liu Xin raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect Chun Yuqiong to explain the color of the potatoes like this, but it was naturally impossible for Liu Xin to say the original color of the potatoes, so Liu Xin planned to use Chun Yuqiong's statement.

So, Liu Xin nodded with a smile and said: "Zhong Jian is right, it is precisely because the potatoes grow underground, so they lack light, so they turn black over time, but although from the outside, this potato is some, well, some are difficult to accept, but the taste of this potato is very good, you can try it." ”

Liu Xin beckoned everyone to take their dishes and prepare to eat, and then took the lead in taking a chopstick to fry shredded potatoes, and couldn't wait to eat it in one bite, and couldn't help but laugh contentedly.

That's the smell.

Cao Cao and the others saw that Liu Xin was eating so happily, and they also began to try to pick up a few black shredded potatoes, and then ate them as if they were dead.

However, this bite made Cao Cao and others shine, because as mentioned earlier, because of the problem of cooking utensils in the Han Dynasty, the cooking method of the Han Dynasty is basically boiling, steaming and barbecue, so the crisp taste of fried shredded potatoes instantly gave Cao Cao and others a different feeling, plus the taste of potatoes itself is not bad, and Su Jia's specially configured seasoning is also icing on the cake.

As a result, a large plate of fried shredded potatoes "disappeared" without a trace under everyone's chopsticks.

Liu Xin looked at the fried shredded potatoes that had been eaten cleanly, and his heart was like a galloping horse.

Liu Xin originally considered the number of people at the meal, as well as the acceptance of black potatoes by Cao Cao and others, and finally took out ten catties of black potatoes as ingredients for tonight, thinking that he should be able to eat happily tonight, but he was robbed by this group of people so quickly.

The most annoying thing is that Wang Shuang, who was the most cheerful among the crowd, touched his mouth at this time, and said with some unfinished feelings: "Hey, the taste of this potato is really good, but the quantity is a little less, and I haven't eaten it." ”

When Liu Xin heard Wang Shuang's words, he couldn't help but smile at Wang Shuang, and Zhong Hui, who was originally standing next to Wang Shuang, immediately moved two steps to the side to prevent himself from being injured by mistake.

And when Wang Shuang saw the lord smiling at him, he knew that he had said the wrong thing just now, and immediately hooked his head, looking like you can't see me.

After solving the fried shredded potatoes, everyone began to comment on the potatoes, and everyone thought that the potatoes tasted very good, and they were definitely the most delicious vegetables they had ever eaten.

After getting the approval of the local people in Dahan, Liu Xin couldn't help laughing, it should not be a problem to see the promotion of black potatoes in Dahan.

Thinking of this, Liu Xin couldn't help but speak: "It seems that you are all very satisfied with these black potatoes, in fact, when I brought these black potatoes back to Dahan from the Western Regions, I was worried that you might not be able to accept vegetables of this color, it seems that I am too worried." ”

Cao Cao nodded with a smile, and said seriously: "Big brother, I'll tell you the truth, at first I saw that the color of this potato was so black, and I still had some resistance in my heart, and I felt that I might die after eating this black potato, so I didn't dare to try it, but after eating this black potato, I knew what it meant to be unseemly, although the black potato looked a little scary and terrifying, but the taste was excellent." ”

Yuan Shao also nodded in agreement, and said: "Second brother is right, although the appearance of this black potato is not good, but the inner taste is good, as long as you have tried this taste, you will definitely not care about the color of the black potato." ”

The rest of the crowd nodded in agreement.

Liu Xin also nodded, and decided to reveal a bottom to everyone first, "In fact, I also brought a lot of seeds of this black potato, which are still in Chengdu, Yizhou, and I am ready to start sowing when I go back, the sowing of this black potato is very convenient, and it is very easy to plant, I don't want rice sorghum to be served every day, and I have to go through a variety of processes, this black potato can be guaranteed to survive as long as it is buried in the soil, basically watering and watering can ensure survival, and the black potato can be harvested in three months." ”

Zhang Song looked at Liu Xin with some surprise, and couldn't help but say, "Can this kind of black potato really be planted so easily?" ”

Zhang Song has seen that when the people of Yizhou plant all kinds of crops, they basically go out early and return late, and basically stay in the fields for a day, and they do this every day of the year.

According to Liu Xin, as long as this black potato is sown, it basically doesn't need to be managed, and it only needs to wait until it is harvested three months later.

Liu Xin naturally understood what Zhang Song was surprised about, so he confidently said to Zhang Song and everyone: "Of course, basically as long as you sow the seeds of this black potato, you can usually apply fertilizer and sprinkle water, and remove weeds, basically after three months, you can harvest about ten stones of potatoes." ”

Because the weight unit of the Han Dynasty is more strange, for example, the weight of the stone is basically linked to the bucket, so according to the different crops, the weight of each bucket (this comparison standard, generally a bucket with a volume of 2000 ml) is different, so the weight of each stone crop is not the same, so Liu Xin will estimate ten stones with the standard of black potatoes per mu yielding 1,000 catties, after all, the volume and specific gravity of black potatoes must be taken into account.

However, this frightened Feng Ji, and Feng Ji couldn't help but say: "Immortal Master Liu, is what you said true, this black potato can reach a yield of ten stones per mu?" And be able to harvest it every three months? ”

The reason why Feng Ji is so excited is because the crop yield of Dahan is basically about three stones, and it can only be cultivated once a year.

And the black potatoes in Liu Xin's mouth can yield ten stones per mu, and they can be harvested once every three months, so isn't it a black potato that can harvest forty stones a year!

Of course, Liu Xin also had to open his mouth to correct Feng Ji's mistake, "Yuan Tu, first of all, I have to correct one thing, this kind of black potatoes can only be planted twice a year, because black potatoes have relatively high requirements for calories; As for the issue of yield per mu, I can only say that it is ten stone guaranteed, and if it is intensively cultivated, there is no problem even if the yield per mu reaches twenty stone. ”

Liu Xin's speech stunned everyone, if according to Liu Xin's algorithm, the annual output of black potatoes can reach about twenty stones, which is more than six times that of other crops!

That's six times as much, and Feng Ji has already begun to calculate how many black potatoes can be produced each year if enough black potatoes are planted in Hebei.

The more Feng Ji calculated, the more excited he became, and finally he couldn't help but bow down to Liu Xin and said: "Immortal Master Liu, please also give me enough black potato seeds, I want to bring them back to Jizhou for promotion, so as to solve the ration problem of the people in Jizhou!" ”

Liu Xin didn't expect Feng Ji to be so excited, and suddenly knelt down to himself, and Liu Xin immediately stepped forward to help Feng Ji.

However, Liu Xin also said with embarrassment: "Yuantu, what do you mean, I originally planned to promote this black potato to the entire Han Dynasty, so as to solve the long-term famine problem of the Han Dynasty, but because the seeds of black potatoes are very limited, I plan to breed them in Yizhou first, and then it can be promoted to all parts of the Han Dynasty faster." ”

When Feng Ji heard that Liu Xin didn't have many seeds of black potatoes in his hands, he couldn't help but sigh, and he also knew that he was in a hurry, so he said helplessly: "Immortal Master Liu, I was a little too excited just now, and I was surprised by Immortal Master Liu, but I also hope that when Immortal Master Liu cultivates enough black potato seeds, he can promote them to Jizhou in advance, because Jizhou really needs high-yield seeds like black potatoes." ”

Under Feng Ji's narration, Liu Xin knew why Feng Ji was so excited, because Feng Ji's hometown is in Jizhou, and in recent years, there have been frequent droughts in Jizhou, and then locust plagues followed.

So when Feng Ji learned that black potatoes were so high-yielding, he couldn't help but kneel down to Liu Xin for the seeds of black potatoes for the people of Jizhou.

In the end, after Liu Xin's repeated assurances that as long as there were enough black potato seeds, they would be given priority to Jizhou, Feng Ji was able to settle down, and decided that no matter what position Liu Xin gave him, he would serve under Liu Xin.
