Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Potato Comes Out

Liu Meiniang picked out two relatively small potatoes and cooked them, one was chopped and taken to the mountain to feed the chickens, and the chickens did not have any bad reactions after eating the potatoes, Liu Meiniang was more sure that this was indeed a potato, in order to make sure, Liu Meiniang fed another boiled potato to Wangcai.

Wangcai licked his mouth after eating the potatoes, until the next day it was still good, happy, and found a new food, in this era of no mobile phone, no computer, no network, Liu Meiniang's only entertainment is probably cooking.

Changing patterns to make different foods every day is a kind of enjoyment for Liu Meiniang, seeing the Zhang family eat satisfied, Liu Meiniang has a sense of accomplishment in her heart, she seems to suddenly understand why her mother in her previous life was so happy to cook every day, and her current mood is the same.

Liu Meiniang still has seven potatoes in her hand, she is going to make a potato dinner, there are still some potatoes on the mountain that are not ripe, Liu Meiniang is going to use those potatoes for seeding.

Liu Meiniang directly made hot and sour shredded potatoes in the evening, a large plate of chicken and mashed potatoes.

Of course, it was gorgeous and surprised, Zhang Dandan and Zhang Tongtong still rushed to eat mashed potatoes.

"Mei Niang, what did you do with this stone fruit?" Zhang Li asked in surprise.

"Mother, this stone fruit itself is not poisonous, but if it sprouts, you must not eat it, the sprouted stone fruit is poisonous." Liu Meiniang explained.

"Well, I've never heard of it." Zhang Li took a pair of chopsticks and shredded potatoes and said.

Liu Meiniang smiled and didn't speak, in fact, she has exposed too many flaws now, sometimes she won't hide it, Liu Meiniang doesn't know if Zhang Li and Zhang Jihan suspect her.

I simply don't want to think about it, Liu Meiniang was an Aquarius in her previous life, a typical evasive personality, and her birth in this life is Virgo, but Liu Meiniang's personality is not like Virgo at all, or more like her previous life.

The mashed potatoes were eaten by Zhang Dandan and Zhang Tongtong, and the corners of Liu Meiniang's mouth also rose.

At this time, Zhang Tongtong had the cuteness and innocence that a thirteen-year-old girl should have, and she used to have a face all the time, as if Liu Meiniang owed her money and didn't pay it back.

Seeing Liu Meiniang's smiling eyes, Zhang Tongtong unnaturally lowered her head and went to eat silently. I snorted coldly in my heart.

"Ji Han, let's go to the mountains tomorrow and see if we can find the stone fruit." Liu Meiniang said.

"Okay, sister-in-law." Zhang Jihan replied happily.

Of course, Liu Meiniang also has her own plans, potatoes are not only easy to survive and the yield is very high, the most important thing is that they can be used as staple food, in such an era, although Liu Meiniang's family is now not short of food and clothing, but most of the people in the village are still not full of food and clothing, Liu Meiniang wants to wait for the success of her experiment to promote potato planting in the village, as long as it can be successful, the benefits brought to everyone are unimaginable.

Liu Meiniang is not a great sage, but if she can help others, Liu Meiniang will be very happy.

"Mei Niang, if this stone fruit can really be eaten, it will be great." Obviously, Zhang Li and Liu Meiniang thought of going together.

"Mother, don't worry, the stone fruit will definitely be edible."

"That's really nice." Zhang Li said sincerely.

The next day, Liu Meiniang and Zhang Jihan went to the mountain, and sure enough, they found a lot of potatoes on the mountain, and they didn't pay attention to it when they went up the mountain before, so they didn't see the leaves of the potatoes at all.

However, Liu Meiniang found that the potatoes were not only brown potatoes like the ones she saw in her previous life, but also purple and green, and at first Liu Meiniang thought that the purple and green were not cooked. After identifying and trying, Liu Meiniang can be sure that purple and green potatoes are also ripe, and it seems that there really are purple and green potatoes in this world.

The people here are called stone fruits, and they are still a little different from the potatoes in the previous life. Whatever you want, you can eat it.

Liu Meiniang and Zhang Jihan directly found a piece of land in the mountain and opened it up and used it directly to grow potatoes.

They should live in the south-central part of Daqi, so it is warm like spring here for four festivals a year, and they can plant whatever they want without looking at the change of seasons.

With the help of Zhang Dandan and Zhang Tongtong, several people planted potatoes in the ground that afternoon, as long as the planting was successful, Liu Meiniang was ready to find the village chief and let him promote the planting of potatoes.

Several children of the Zhang family are very smart, under the teaching of Liu Meiniang, in just over a month, several children have recognized a lot of words, Liu Meiniang is ready to mark pinyin on Zhang Jihan's book, call them pinyin, so that the book will not be as troublesome as it is now.

But pinyin is too alternative, Liu Meiniang still has to make some preparations if she wants to teach them pinyin, so as not to ask questions when the time comes, Liu Meiniang can't answer.

After eating, Liu Meiniang read in her room, and several children wrote on the table in the courtyard.

It took Liu Meiniang several weeks to finish reading "The Chronicles of the Great Qi Customs", this book is too thick, but the things in it are still good.

Through this book, Liu Meiniang has a deeper understanding of this era.

This era is also regarded as a situation of separation, Daqi is a relatively large country in the east, and the strength is also very strong, the monarch of Daqi is surnamed Xiao, called Xiao Yichen, is in the prime of life, only forty years old this year, is the third son of the emperor.

It is said that the first emperor had a total of fifteen sons, and the throne of Great Qi was originally passed on to the heirs.

However, the eldest son of the former emperor happens to be the son-in-law, but the crown prince Wen Taowu is very ordinary, and the position of this prince is certainly not very comfortable

And the second prince, the seventh prince, and the tenth and thirteenth princes died before they lived to adulthood.

The fifteenth prince is still young, so there were actually only ten princes who participated in the succession that year

As for why the third prince finally got the throne, of course it was not written in the book.

Liu Meiniang, who has watched many palace fighting dramas and knows some history, can certainly guess that our emperor is afraid of what kind of unsightly way he used, after all, people who can ascend to such a position will not be kind to anything.

Li Shimin is not a ruthless person in film and television dramas or history, he was able to launch the Xuanwumen Revolution to seize the throne back then, not to mention others, you must know that the matter of brothers, friends and brothers happened in the royal family, which does not exist. The temptation of power and the throne is not something that can be generally resisted.

There are a few other small countries around Daqi, scattered and scattered, which can be roughly counted as three.

There is a country named Nanyi in the south, the book says that the climate of Nanyi is humid and hot, there are many snakes and ants, trees reach the sky, and where people are very good at raising snakes with poison, Liu Meiniang looked at the description in the book, probably there and the modern Yunnan climate is similar.

There is Xijiang in the west, this Xijiang is completely different from the Xijiang on the map of China, "Daqi Fengtuzhi" said that Xijiang is a very mysterious place, where people can witchcraft, fortunately, the people of Xijiang have not expanded outward for generations, only stay in Xijiang.

To the north is Beijung, which is not a country, but a union of many nomadic tribes on the northern border.

Life in Beirong is very difficult, the environment is harsh, the climate is dry and water-deficient, and there are grasslands everywhere. The people there are fierce, everyone is good at riding and shooting, and they are eyeing the land of Daqi.

Zhang Jirin died on the battlefield of Beirong.

Liu Meiniang, who finished reading "The Chronicles of the Great Qi Terroir", was still very surprised, this world still looks quite magical, not to mention that there can be so many climates and terroirs in the southeast and northwest of a place, which has made Liu Meiniang very surprised, Liu Meiniang doesn't know how big this continent is, if there is a chance in the future, of course Liu Meiniang wants to see it.

Xue Wuyi sent a letter to say that Liu Meiniang asked him to help make the silk cutting machine.

Liu Meiniang took an ox cart and went to the county seat with Zhang Jihan.

"Mei Niang, Mei Niang, you are here." Hearing that Liu Meiniang had arrived, Xue Wuyi hurriedly walked down from upstairs.

"No clothes." Liu Meiniang jumped neatly from the ox cart.

"Come and see if this is the case with the silk cutting machine." Xue Wuyi seemed to be very excited, and directly pulled Liu Meiniang's arm and walked forward.

Liu Meiniang frowned, and wanted to pull out her hand, but she found that Xue Wuyi was pulling too tightly, after all, in her previous life, she was often in contact with the opposite sex, and it was not a big deal to pull an arm.

Zhang Jihan, who was behind him, saw Xue Wuyi's actions, and his brows were furrowed higher than Liu Meiniang. The sleeve tightened and sent away.

Xue Wuyi pulled Liu Meiniang to a room, and the silk cutting machine was placed on the ground, which was exactly the same as what Liu Meiniang saw in her previous life.

"Wuyi, thank you." Liu Meiniang looked back and forth, and tried to use it, and the silk cutting machine made by Xue Wuyi was even better than the one in her previous life.

The wisdom of the ancients is indeed not to be underestimated, Liu Meiniang deeply feels that if she was a native of the ancients, she might be a little fool, and now she is all plugged in.

"It's a drawing given by Mei Niang." Xue Wuyi's eyes were all amazed when he looked at Liu Meiniang, it was the first time he had seen a woman like Liu Meiniang, and he didn't know how she could come up with so many strange things in her head.

"Why don't I invite Wuyi to eat as a thank you." Liu Meiniang thought about it and said.

"It's better to be respectful than to obey." Xue Wuyi waved his fan and agreed.

Liu Meiniang couldn't help laughing, Xue Wuyi's character, after getting along for a long time, you can find that it is not as cold and unapproachable as he seems on the surface.

Xue Wuyi should be a very good person to get along with.

Finalized to eat, Xue Wuyi, Liu Meiniang, plus Zhang Jihan and Luluo moved to the place to eat.

This time I didn't go to Chunmanlou, but went to a restaurant that was smaller than Chunmanlou, but it was also very good, because it was not particularly far, and a few people walked over from Caiyi Pavilion.

If she could have predicted what would happen next in advance, Liu Meiniang would definitely not choose to walk over, and would definitely let Xue Wuyi put the carriage on the frame.

A few people had barely walked a few steps when a sharp voice came through the crowd.

"Sister-in-law!"
