Section 34 The charm of roast beef with potatoes
Niu Jinda went crazy, he used the horizontal knife to slash on the other cylinder, the blade and the clay cylinder sparked a spark, but the cylinder was not broken, he simply smashed on the cylinder with a fist, and the clay cylinder shattered in response. His bloody hand was slashing in the mud and sand, and his fingertips seemed to touch something, and his movements immediately slowed down, and his hands picked up the soil, and a potato was exposed, and he was overjoyed, and began to pick up the rest of the soil, and when a pile of soil was cleared, the yellow potato stems and leaves appeared in front of everyone with the roots, and the roots were full of potatoes, and there were more than ten large and small ones, some of which were as big as fists, and some were the size of eggs, and a large bunch of potatoes were strung on the roots, like grapes. The old cow touched this, touched that, and never thought that a tough guy with his hands like iron tongs would have such a gentle side. Tears flowed down the cheeks of the ravines, the purple robe that was majestic just now was covered with mud, the white jade belt was covered with dust, and the general was crying like a baby in a month, and he couldn't see anyone. Li Chengqian no longer has the image of a prince, lying on the vat and digging out the soil with his hands, just like a big marmot. Lao Cheng was more sven, took a hammer and smashed the clay pot, Xue Yunye grabbed the stems and leaves and lifted them up, pulled out a bunch of potatoes, and pulled it in the soil with his hand, and a potato the size of a sheep's head was grabbed out, holding a huge potato and laughing. When Yun Ye was about to dig the last pot of potatoes, he was stopped by Lao Cheng: "Leave it to His Majesty to dig." Seeing Lao Cheng's meaningful eyes, Yun Ye suddenly realized that he had to shoot a full set of sycophants, and he must not let the person being photographed not be able to get up or down, which would affect the effect of sycophants.
The four pots of potatoes totaled thirty-one pounds and six taels, and they were placed in a big pile on the table covered with linen. The four general-level guards around him were draped with their backs to the desk, with horizontal knives in their hands, Ma Shuo flashed with cold light, and what was even more exaggerated was that one was holding a chain hammer, and the two-zhang long iron chain was wrapped around his body with a murderous atmosphere. People don't dare to go over, Yun Ye estimates that ghosts don't dare to go over. The highest-yielding crop of all time was born, and the yield of fifty stone drove these guys crazy. Li Chengqian was swaying all over, his mouth trembling and he couldn't speak, Niu Jinda cried and laughed for a while, and Lao Cheng drank tea with a big mouthful, his face purple. Their state affected the entire Zuowuwei battalion, and all the staff were in a state of facing the enemy, their swords were unsheathed, and they were immediately saddled and bowed. Groups of sergeants patrolled back and forth, and those who approached the camp for no reason were killed. Eldest Sun Chong, Li Huairen? Yun Ye was like a ghost, Cheng Chumo patted Yun Ye on the shoulder and laughed, and boasted to his colleagues: "What about my brother, he said that if he let the dying people come back to life, he will come back to life, and he said that if there is grain that can produce fifteen stones per mu, he will make fifty stones, who dares not believe his words." ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, is it possible to do an edible test now?" Seeing that everyone had finally calmed down, Yun Ye hurriedly stepped forward to say goodbye.
"Yun Qing, how to do this test, what is the use, and where does it come from?" Li Chengqian is not good at this, he always has to ask a clear understanding of everything, and he has to give him the same explanation, Cheng Chumo is much better, let him eat, let him do whatever he wants, and never ask. I don't know where Li Chengqian learned the root cause of the bad problems.
"It is to cook and eat to see if there are any bad things, such as poisoning, diarrhea, and adverse consequences after eating by people, after all, this is a new food, and the necessary food test is an indispensable part. If there are no adverse reactions, it is not too late to plant a large area, otherwise it will be devastating to human life. "What is raised to the level of humanity first, and then you can say your own demands, so that it is easy to succeed. Sure enough, Li Chengqian thought for a moment and asked, "Who is Yun Qing looking for to do this?" ”
"Since the potatoes are planted by Weichen, it is natural for Weichen to try them, if the number of people is not enough, it is okay to add Captain Cheng Chumo." Xiao Cheng was so happy when he heard Yun Ye say this, he was so happy that he couldn't see his eyes, and hurriedly stood up and made a righteous and awe-inspiring look: "Weichen is willing to be the one who tastes it." ”…,
"There aren't many auspicious ones, and you still have to do seeds, if you want to have two pieces to try the effect, Yun Qing can take two and eat them?" After speaking, he personally went to the desk and took two one-pound potatoes and handed them to Yun Ye. Yun Ye took the potatoes, thanked the prince and grabbed Cheng Chumo and ran to his tent, saying that Yun Ye had already stewed the beef before harvesting the potatoes, it would have been an hour, presumably the beef had already been stewed, and then add the potatoes, and a pot of fragrant potato stew and beef stew could be out of the pot. The thought makes my mouth water.
When he arrived at the tent, Yun Ye was familiar with peeling, cutting into pieces, washing off the starch with water, pouring a bone into a casserole, covering the lid, and turning back to Cheng Chumo and saying: "Smelling the aroma of beef and stewed potatoes, the gods can't sit still, the teacher has done it a few times before, and the younger brother eats it all clean every time, and even wipes the bottom of the plate with rice before stopping." Let's have a good meat opening today. Cheng Chu smiled and swallowed his saliva and nodded, where would the food that could make Yun Ye, the most picky eater of the Manzuo Wuwei, miss out? As if magically, he took out a pot of wine, took a sip on the spout and handed it to Yun Ye, Yun Ye poured a big mouthful, grape brewing, sweet and sour, far from being comparable to those pot water.
The potatoes in the casserole are already stewed golden brown and exude an enticing aroma. Grab a handful of wild onions and throw them in, and stir them a few times successfully. Dig a piece of potato with a spoon and send it to Cheng Chumo's mouth, Xiao Cheng swallowed the hot straight jumping feet, but he was reluctant to spit out, the potatoes melted in the mouth and were soft and rosin, and soaked in beef soup, which was really delicious in the world. One person received a slap in the back of the head before waking them up.
"Unfilial things, there are delicacies, but they are not called old men." Lao Cheng snatched the spoon and arched his hand towards the prince.
"It's not too late to talk about this thing after the old man has tasted it." After speaking, he dug a big spoonful and stuffed his mouth, closed his eyes and tasted it carefully, shaking his head and admiring from time to time.
"Xiangrui is auspicious, delicious, and full, wait for the old man to taste it again." After Lao Cheng finished speaking, he dug up a big spoonful, and as soon as he put it in his mouth, he heard the prince swallow saliva and say: "I want to taste it too" Cheng Chumo hurriedly ran over and took another spoon and held it to the prince with both hands. Li Chengqian also dug a big spoonful in the pot, blew it cold, and ate it one bite at a time, I don't know what he tasted like, anyway, the frequency of starting is getting faster and faster. Niu Jinda also dug a spoonful and put it in his mouth, just like tasting dragon liver and phoenix marrow. There are not many beef stews with potatoes in a casserole, where can I stop everyone to taste one bite at a time, and in an instant, there is not even soup left.
Li Chengqian wiped his mouth embarrassedly and said to Lao Cheng, "What does Uncle Cheng think?" ”
"Good things, it is indeed a good food, and full, and anti-hunger, the yield is extremely high, and do not pick the ground, dry land can be planted, Yun Xiaozi said that it can be stored in the cellar for a year, it is rare to be extremely delicious, I Datang did get a great auspicious, congratulations." Lao Cheng is blowing a conch. Everyone didn't realize that Lao Cheng was exaggerating, and they all echoed it, saying that General Cheng was reasonable.
"What the general said is extremely true, presumably my father is also a little anxious to wait, Lone is on the table, stating what he has heard and seen, asking for credit for Yun Qing, I don't know if the two uncles can join forces, Lone Decision will let five hundred Zuo Wuwei elite guards escort the remaining cylinder of Xiangrui into Beijing Majesty?, the matter is so important that General Niu will lead the army?" Niu Jinda, Cheng Biting Jin said yes.
The next day, Niu Jinda led 500 elite soldiers to pull the vat and march all the way to Chang'an with the dug potatoes and dust.
