Potato!! A being that was a household name in a previous life!

If it weren't for Xiao Kill's presence, she would have paid attention to her image, she really wanted to look up to the sky and smile, and her hard work paid off, and the potatoes were finally found by herself!!

This thing and sweet potatoes are almost the same attribute, good varieties and high yields, whether it is used as a staple food or as a dish, and potatoes can also be made into potato starch to add stickiness to some dishes. Greasy taste is an indispensable existence in life!

Chu Xinyun's saliva almost flowed out the moment she saw the potatoes, she missed the dense texture of the potatoes very much, whether it was braised or stewed, it was excellent.

Shredded and stir-fried is crispy and tender. Refreshing!

Chu Xinyun hurriedly beckoned Xiao Shu to help, and in order to put the dug potatoes back, she also took off her coat to load the potatoes.

Xiao Shu never asked anything more, and when he saw her happy look, he knew that he must have found something good.

The two of them dug for a while, and they couldn't hold their coats before they stopped.

Chu Xinyun was a little regretful: "It would be nice if I brought a basket today, I can still hold a lot!"

Xiao Shu wiped the mud marks on her forehead and smiled: "Okay! Today is full of harvest, go back and make you something to eat!"

"Hmm."

"I'll make a mark, we'll come back tomorrow, find a way to go back first."

The two finally found an old vine with withered ginger in the corner, and helped each other up the steep slope.

The two returned to the village covered in mud, met Aunt Wang, and saw the two of them looking embarrassed and couldn't help asking: "You two have entered the back mountain again?!"

"At this time, you can't go to the back mountain, and the beasts in this mountain are infested, but where is the injury?"

Listening to Aunt Wang's concerned greetings, Chu Xinyun was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "It's okay, I just accidentally stepped on the air, and it won't get in the way!"

Aunt Wang nodded, a little embarrassed in her tone: "It's okay!" Xiao Yun, are you still a fan these days, Brother Da Long said in the town that he wants to come back to help if he doesn't work.....

"Yes, when the time comes, it will be calculated according to your same salary, I happen to be thinking about recruiting people these days, Brother Dalong couldn't be better!"

With Chu Xinyun's approval, Aunt Wang was immediately overjoyed: "Nacheng, I'll let Dalong come with me tomorrow!"

There are also a lot of sweet potatoes piled up in the house, and they have to be processed as soon as possible during this rainy season, and they can be stored for almost half a year as long as they are not damp after drying.

After Chu Xinyun arrived home, he couldn't wait to take out the potatoes and clean them, and also told Xiao Shu to go to Aunt Wang's house to buy two chickens and come back, and eat potatoes and roast chicken at night.

After the potatoes are washed, peel and chop into equal pieces, kill the washed chickens and chop them into pieces, blanch the water to remove the blood water first, then fry them in the pot, put her homemade chili peppers to remove the flavor and pour water into the stew, put the potatoes in until they are fully cooked, and then put them out of the pot immediately after boiling.

After half an hour of stewing, the chicken and potatoes are almost very soft, and they fall off when you suck the meat lightly, and take a sip of the spicy soup, the taste is good enough!

Chu Xinyun sent a bowl to Aunt Wang and Aunt Wang to express her gratitude, and the rich aroma attracted the neighbors over, asking what it tasted like and why it was so fragrant.

After a busy day, Chu Xinyun was also hungry and couldn't do it. The tender chicken nuggets can be removed from the bone with a slight sip of the mouth, and the meat is very tender because it is a chicken.

Another bite of the soft and glutinous potatoes, perhaps because they grow in the mountains, is a little denser than the potatoes I have eaten before, and after tasting it carefully, you can taste a slight sweetness, and both of you are satisfied with this meal.

Before leaving, she estimated that the remaining potatoes in the mountains must have four or five hundred catties, and she had to find a way to get them back first, and then Xiao Shu contracted this matter, saying that he would go to borrow an ox cart early tomorrow morning and strive to transport the potatoes back in one day.

He was naturally relieved to deal with Chu Xinyun, and told him about the various uses of potatoes.

"The planting of potatoes and sweet potatoes is actually similar, they are all seedlings first and then go to the ground, but potatoes have higher nutrient requirements, and they must do a good job of heat preservation, and they must not freeze."

Xiao Shu listened carefully, he was still very interested in these crops now, firstly, to help Chu Xinyun, and secondly, he felt that it was good to learn more.

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but sigh: "I heard that the merchant said that in the north of Qingguo, it is attacked by wind and sand all the year round, and there is a risk of war, and the people often do not have enough to eat, and it is very difficult for them to live. ”

"After all, this sweet potato and potato are not particularly high requirements for soil quality, and it is more drought tolerant, high yield, can be used as a staple food, if you have the opportunity in the future, you must go to see, there is an old saying that it is better to read ten thousand books than to travel ten thousand miles.

Xiao Shu hooked the corners of his lips: "Xiao Yun cares about the people of the world very much. ”

"The best thing in the world is that it is not the king's land, but its fundamental composition is the people." Chu Xinyun nodded his head and said with a smile: "The people live and work in peace and contentment, and the world can be peaceful, if even the people can't eat and clothe, what's the use of those who have the right to learn to fight for these?"

"Therefore, to see whether a king is powerful or not, it depends on his governance of the people, which is the most basic truth."

Chu Xinyun didn't expect that what he said casually would be heard clearly by Xiao San, who was hiding in the shadows, he looked at her talking eloquently with a shocked face, and his excitement couldn't be calmed down for a long time.

Even some high-ranking people in power in the capital couldn't say this talk, but at this moment, it was told by a peasant woman who had lived in a remote village since she was a child, and she was so determined.

Xiao San's eyes narrowed, and several thoughts flashed through his heart, he was hesitating whether to send this matter back to the capital.

Fortunately, that night, Xiao Shu summoned him.

"Boss, are you looking for me?" Xiao San looked curiously at the sack he was carrying in his hand and asked, "What is this?"

Xiao Shu handed him the bag and ordered: "You also heard what Xiao Yun said tonight, you send a letter back to Beijing, bring back these sweet potatoes and potatoes, here is the method of planting and eating this crop." ”

"This ...... Xiao San didn't expect his boss to be so decisive: "Won't you discuss this matter with Miss Chu?"

Thinking of her smiling face, Xiao Shu's tense facial lines gradually softened: "If she knew, she would definitely agree, and you also know the conditions in the north, these crops are suitable for improving the lives of the people, because the large yield can also be used as a supply for the army." ”

Xiao San's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he realized the importance of this matter, and immediately said: "Don't worry, boss, this matter is on me!"

After bidding farewell to Xiao Kill, he hurried to Yunlai County to round with the secret guards, and the next morning, a person galloped away in the direction of the capital with a sack.

At this moment in the capital, dark clouds are full of waves, and some noble ladies who like to be lively are also detained at home and not allowed to go out, and all kinds of cries in the market are less than usual, and pedestrians have bowed their heads and passed by without words.

The mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, and this is the situation in the capital at this moment.

Li Xiuqi stood in front of the fence of Xiaoyao Pavilion with far-reaching eyes, looking at the palace shrouded in dark clouds in the distance, and a mocking smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

The attendant hurriedly went upstairs with a body of water vapor, and said in a deep voice: "Childe, the news you want has arrived." ”

"Oh?" Li Xiuqi raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at him and said, "The speed this time is quite fast, have you checked the authenticity?"

"I've checked it, it's a half-truth."

"That's fake." He smiled lightly and continued to look at the sky: "King Jing, that guy is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he can instigate the general to attack and kill his secret guard, and naturally he can also know that I am investigating him." ”

"Isn't there any news on the whereabouts of Yan Qinchang, the leader of the Dark Guard?"

"Yes, the little one has already ordered someone to investigate, but there has been no news so far."

"Then that's interesting." Li Xiuqi rubbed his chin, with some thought in his eyes, and muttered, "If Yan Qinchang's whereabouts are unknown so far, then how can Qi An be so quiet?"

The squire guessed, "Perhaps. He's just deliberately pretending to be like that to confuse people?"

The corners of Li Xiuqi's mouth hooked lightly and said, "I can't rule out this possibility, but it's also possible that they already know Yan Qinchang." ”

"Send someone to continue to keep an eye on King Jing, and send me all the news, whether it's true or not."

"Yes!"

The attendant took the order to leave, and Li Xiuqi was once again the only one left in the attic, his eyes slightly drooping as if he was talking to himself.

"This rebellion can't be done in a day or two, Wei Jingqi, Wei Jing, don't let me down.....

"Bang!"

In the hall where the agarwood is curling, several little eunuchs standing in danger stand on the side with their heads down, the ground is covered with all kinds of edicts, and the middle-aged man with an angry face stares at the folds in his hands, his lips tremble slightly but he can't say a word.

After half a ring, he sneered: "This is really my good son!"

He only suspected that King Jing was secretly making small moves, but he didn't interfere too much, and just inserted a few people into it to report the situation to him at any time, but now his own hands have been pulled out one by one!

What is he doing? This is a complete provocation to yourself!

Emperor Wei was so angry that his temples hurt, and the eunuch Fu Gonggong who was the leader hurriedly stepped forward to make a head acupoint for him, and his face soothed a little after a few kneading, and then asked: "Is there any news from Commander Yan in the past few days?"

Father-in-law Fu said in a low voice: "There has never been any news, but the method of treating insects a few days ago has been put into use, and the effect is very significant." ”

"The things he got are certainly not bad." The satisfaction in Emperor Wei's tone was overflowing, and then he thought of those officials who were eating vegetarian meals, and suddenly became angry again.

"A small secret guard is still running around for the people like this, and they, as court officials, can only talk about it above the court, which is really a shame!"

Father-in-law Fu bowed his head and was silent, at this time, everyone knew that he couldn't interject, otherwise he didn't know what his head was doing.

At this moment, a little eunuch hurriedly walked into the hall, knelt down in front of Emperor Wei and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Qi An asks to see you." ”

"Qi An? What is he doing at such a late hour?" Emperor Wei waved off Gonggong Fu and ordered someone to take Qi An to the front hall.

Qi An was the man with a scar on his face before, and after seeing Emperor Wei, he hurriedly knelt down and asked for peace: "I have seen Your Majesty, I have important matters to discuss this time, and please don't blame Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Wei took a sip of ginseng tea and waved his hand generously: "Since there is something to discuss, then what is the crime?" Why are you in such a hurry?"

Qi An immediately handed over the letter, and Gonggong Fu, who was standing aside, hurriedly took it and sent it to Emperor Wei.

"Is this Yan Qing's letter again?" Emperor Wei's eyes lit up when he saw the signature, thinking that he really said that Cao Cao would arrive at Cao Cao, so he hurriedly opened the list, and as his eyes moved, the solemn color on his face became heavier and heavier.

After reading it, he put the letter on the table and asked, "Have you brought anything with you?"

"Brought it, please take a look at it, Your Majesty."

Qi An immediately ordered someone to carry the sack up, and Emperor Wei was not too dirty to untie the sack and took out the sweet potatoes and potatoes inside, looking at this never-before-seen crop, his eyebrows were full of doubts.
