Chapter 947: Qi Ke's Order Meeting (11)

General Bai, who had just eaten a bowl of red bean and taro balls, was already a little half-full, heard this voice, and aroused his appetite again, and couldn't help but take a piece of chicken wings and taste it while it was hot, and then, like his son, he fell in love with one bite.

Bai Qing's eating appearance is not as elegant as his father, he wiped out the two chicken wings and two chicken legs in three bites, pulled two sheets of paper to wipe the oil off his hands, looked back and forth between milk tea and red bean taro balls a few times, picked up a spoon and scooped two taro balls to eat.

"What's this colorful thing? The taste is quite special. Bai Qing chewed two and swallowed.

"Taro balls, made from straw potato flour."

"Straw potato flour? Ah, the grain that the caravan gave? Bai Qing looked at the balls in the bowl in a little surprise, "Is this how to eat?" Didn't they say it was a staple food? ”

"It's the staple food, spread the cake and eat it, I'll just change the way to eat, just like the pattern of rice noodles."

"Oh~" Bai Qing tasted a few more taro balls and savored them, "Indeed, chewing it twice more is like the taste of that cake, the cake is really grinding when it is cold, but it is quite good when it is hot." Dad, did you receive the straw potato flour I sent? What do you think? Is it necessary to buy it? ”

The ten catties of straw potato flour sample given by the captain of Ocean No. 1, Bai Qing sent the rest to Dong'an Mansion after tasting it, and General Bai should have tasted it according to the time.

"I've eaten it, it's good to eat it while it's hot, I left a few pieces of cake and deliberately left it overnight, and my cheeks were tired and sore." General Bai remembered the feeling of tasting it, and subconsciously touched his chin.

Bai Qing laughed twice without giving his father face.

Qi Ke also lowered his head and drank two sips of milk tea, holding back the smile that turned up at the corner of his mouth. 53 Chinese Net

"Shall we tell the merchant ship to bring some caoca flour next time?" Bai Qing asked sincerely, it is true that he is not the master of ordering grain with overseas merchants.

"It still depends on the price, if the quantity is small, I don't know how big the captain can lead the team, which is all related to the price."

"The price can be negotiated, if it can be negotiated, and the next time they come over just in time to use, it will be like a pig planing roots, mixed with rice and noodles to eat, and we will not worry about hunger in the next few months." Bai Qing said.

"Also, everyone is at ease when they have food in the months when they are not harvested." Although it takes a lot of money to spread it into cakes, but it is a kind of food after all, General Bai nodded slightly, and said to his son, "Then let's talk about it first, you can look at the price, and you think that you can reach a balance point that you can accept." ”

Qi Ke listened to the father and son singing together, and glanced at Zhaolin, who immediately contacted the deputies who were far away on Cotton Island and asked them to collect more grass potatoes, which were giant plants that had just been cut and had not yet been pounded and dried.

There are now a large number of slaves on those six islands, and they consume countless amounts of food every day, in order to save money on food, the food supply is slowly shifting to buying straw potatoes and letting the slaves process their own straw potato flour.

"General, Mr. Qian, is there something difficult to do right now? Short on food? Is the autumn harvest in Dong'an Province still not ideal? ”

General Bai and Bai Qing shook their heads together, expressions that were indescribable.

"The autumn harvest tax grain in the entire Dong'an Mansion is only a little better than that of Siliu Village, and it is not good in other places, and Dong'an Mansion itself is not famous for its abundance of grain." When it comes to food, General Bai has a serious face, otherwise he would not be interested in the fleet of the Universal Trading House to sell food.

"Hmmm......"
