In addition to Yunshui, the other three of the four major restaurants in Beijing are "Food for the Sky", "Merry People", and "Cuiyuan". Among them, "Merry Family" is not only a famous restaurant in Beijing, but also a very high-end Fengyue place, which is quite famous in the city.

Nowadays, led by the four major restaurants, the shopkeepers of large and small restaurants in Chang'an City have arrived in the courtyard of the Saijia, due to the too many people, the main hall of the Saijia has long been unable to accommodate everyone, and can only be entertained in the courtyard.

Among the four major restaurants, except for the shopkeeper of the "Merry Family", the other three showcases have arrived. These three shopkeepers are also well-known figures in Beijing, and although they have no conflict of interest with Saijia, they all know each other.

The shopkeepers of the three major restaurants are here, how can the shopkeepers of the other restaurants not come? Among them, there are also some behind-the-scenes owners of the restaurant who came to the door in person, which shows how important the few vegetables brought by Xia Shang are in their hearts?

Not only the shopkeepers of the restaurants came, but also the chefs in the restaurants, thinking that even if they couldn't buy the new vegetables, it would be good to take a look at them from afar.

Now the Saijia compound is lively, they are all peers and acquaintances, some friends, some are enemies, and it is not lively to get together and say their own things.

The weather was too hot, and the Sai family didn't dare to neglect this big Buddha, urging Xia Shang to quickly move the vegetables to the courtyard.

The vegetables in the vegetable garden were filled with two baskets, adding up to more than three hundred catties, these vegetables were divided into six parts, and they were hit in six baskets, and the types of vegetables in the baskets were more or less equivalent, Xia Shang did not plan to sell all the vegetables to one family, so he was ready to shout six times.

This is not only to put an end to the monopoly, but also to divert the public's attention from himself, he wants everyone to know that these new vegetables are not only available to him, but also to others.

In the courtyard, Xia Shang placed the six baskets in turn, glanced at the nearly 100 unfamiliar faces in front of him, and suddenly found that Xu Yuan was also among them, looking at him with a smile at the moment.

"Guys, that's all the vegetables I have. There are six copies in total, each copy is the same, we shout the price one by one, and the rules are very simple. This sun is a little poisonous, and we don't ink it, and the price of the first one starts at one hundred taels. Willing to increase the price of the opening. ”

One hundred taels!

The crowd was a little commotional, just looking at the vegetables in the basket, it was estimated that it was fifty or sixty catties. The price of one hundred taels is converted into two taels and one catty.

Some people think it's expensive, some people think it's appropriate, and some people think it's much cheaper than expected.

After that, the process of buying and selling was not as thrilling as imagined, in terms of financial resources, it was natural that the four major restaurants had strong financial resources, a total of six vegetables, and it was natural for four families to grab one by one. The competition for the remaining two servings was a little fierce, but the transaction price was about the same, and all six vegetables were auctioned off, and the total transaction price was 3,600 taels.

Six servings of vegetables were sold out, and only the six families who got the vegetables were smiling.

The expressions of everyone in the courtyard had already been expected by Xia Shang, and they stepped forward and said loudly: "Everyone! Don't be disappointed too soon, I have a gift for you all to thank you for coming all the way. Don't pay a penny, everyone has it! ”

"And gifts?"

"Gifts? What can be a good thing? We're not here for a small bargain. ”

"That's it! Let's go first. What's so strange about a little gadget? ”

"Oops! Wait a minute! What do you see that guy dragged out? ”

During the discussion, several Saijia family members came out with another basket of things. The basket was full of earthy yellow objects of different sizes and shapes, and there seemed to be a thick layer of mud and sand on them.

"It looks like something that grows in the dirt. Could it be that it is also a vegetable? ”

"Wouldn't it? If it's really like the chili pepper and other things before, then it's a treasure, how can it be given away for nothing? ”

"Guess what? Just ask? Hey, what's this thing called? ”

Xia Shang took one out of the basket and weighed it in his hand: "This thing is called a potato, and it is a plant root that can be eaten. Like the tomato, bitter gourd, and chili pepper before me, it is a good ingredient that I have newly discovered. Unlike the previous three, this animal also has an important advantage, that is, it is very easy to grow, and the harvest is abundant, as long as it is cultivated a little, it can be reaped handsomely. And ......"

Xia Shang took the potatoes and talked endlessly in front of everyone, and the eldest lady hiding in the hall looked at it and nodded, and couldn't help but praise: "If he is really a brave and knowledgeable character, it is indeed a waste to stoop to the Saijia." Ay! ”

The eldest lady was still watching with a pair of watery eyes behind her, and she didn't make any sound, but secretly lowered her head and looked at the small handkerchief in her hand, on which was a ball of crushed potato chips. If you look at it stupidly, you will take a small pinch and throw it into your mouth.

In the courtyard, Xia Shang continued: "...... In addition to being nutritious and easy to grow, these potatoes are also excellent for cooking. Stir-frying, cooking, boiling, stewing, all of which are not unusable. In order not to leave you empty-handed, each person can take some of the potatoes here, some for cooking, some for planting, and so on. ”

Xia Shang said so much impassionedly, the most important thing is that it is necessary to promote potatoes, which are the three staple foods of human beings alongside wheat and corn, don't look at it as a grand event now, but the poor are hungry and hungry.

But when everyone listened to what Xia Shang said, no one showed surprise, and everyone was muttering: "If you really have to say so good, you will give it away for nothing?" ”

Going down the mountain, I knew that some people didn't believe it, so I had already prepared several pots, and in each pot was a dish made of potatoes.

"Look, these are dishes made with potatoes. Among them are stir-fried potatoes, braised potatoes, boiled potatoes, charcoal baked potatoes, fried potatoes...... Potatoes are all made from a single thing, of course, potatoes can also be combined with any meat and vegetable, and there are endless variations after mixing, so it is not interesting to list them here, so you can try them for yourself and see what the potatoes taste like. ”

There were many connoisseurs in the crowd, and they could smell the aroma of potatoes from afar. When I looked closer, I was surprised to see that the pot was really full of potatoes.

"How can one ingredient change so many ways? And you use a variety of cooking techniques? ”

"I wonder what it tastes like?"

Driven by curiosity, people gradually tasted dishes made with potatoes.

After eating, everyone was surprised that the same ingredients were made in different ways, and the texture and taste were completely different.

The magic of potatoes is astonishing, and even more so than tomatoes.

Now everyone understands that what Xia Shang just said is true!

"Little brother, is it true that you said just now that all of this was given away for nothing?"

Xia Shang nodded: "Of course it's true, but each of you can only take five, and you have to ensure that everyone present has it." ”

As soon as Xia Shang's words fell, a group of people rushed to the basket full of potatoes and grabbed it.
