Chapter 140: Seven Hundred Stones
Fan Jingjing bought the seeds at the beginning, in addition to the seeds bought from the small store, some of the seeds in the car were collected in advance by her for half a year.
These seeds are through her teachers and classmates, as well as planting friends Q group, many of the seeds are his classmates from the same agricultural department, and they can be said to be the essence of various agricultural farming, and even potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes and other seeds that can be used as food, he got a lot of them, some are marked with high taste, some are high yield, and some are special taste, no matter which one it is, it is better than the yield and taste of potatoes in the Tang Dynasty.
Fan Jingjing's favorite potatoes are naturally suitable for Chinese cooking, not Western cooking.
It is best suited for potatoes that are sautéed into shredded potatoes.
There are thousands of varieties of potatoes, and there are many that have the most suitable cooking method, and only this cooking method can bring out the delicious taste of a certain potato.
But such potatoes are endemic.
The seeds collected by Fan Jingjing naturally did not contain this kind of food, after all, she felt that Chinese cuisine was still the most beautiful cuisine in the world.
Generally, girls like Western cuisine very much, because Western cuisine is simple and convenient, and there is little oil smoke.
Less oil smoke can not hurt the skin, but Fan Jingjing likes Chinese food, but she still doesn't like oil smoke, and when cooking and cooking, she will find ways to reduce oil smoke.
However, she doesn't cook very often, unless the outside shops are not open, after all, the food she cooks is not comparable to the ordinary small vendors.
It's better to eat out.
But as I said before, Fan Jingjing has a very big ambition for eating. So she learned a lot of recipes. And keep it firmly in mind.
She especially likes to watch all kinds of food programs, some food programs, and there is no detailed introduction to the method, she will also go to the detailed research, find out the method, and make a recipe.
However, none of these recipes have been verified, after all, her own operation ability is too poor.
Some are already recipes for the gastronomic column, and naturally there are no problems. But she researches the recipes obtained on television, and because she misses many secrets, there may be no way to reproduce the deliciousness, unless people with sufficient sensitivity and imagination for food can discover it.
After the potatoes and sweet potatoes were produced, Fan Jingjing urgently needed Niu Shijin to come back.
Because she knew that Niu Shijin could perfectly restore the thoughts in his mind. I don't know when she started, she already had such confidence in Niu Shijin.
In the pastry shop, Fan Jingjing originally wanted to add some new varieties, but although the master of the pastry shop learned the basic pastry practices. But after Fan Jingjing gave them the ideas in her head. They still couldn't make the original taste of Fan Jingjing's imagination.
In this day and age, the price of raw egg cream is very high. Cakes have also become a luxury food.
However, in this era, it is not the peasant people who are qualified to consume outside.
Instead, the residents in the city are above the middle level, and Fan Jingjing feels that the number of such a population is still too small. And when these people are in a group, sometimes it will hinder you from selling.
Although the cake method is more peculiar, the counterfeit products from the outside world have gradually come out, and many chefs have added their own ingenuity to make the cake change.
If the pastry shop doesn't come up with new products, you may be knocked down by others in the pastry shop.
It's hard to imagine, what is now supporting the business of the pastry shop is the tea that Fan Jingjing managed to transplant from the south, and there are only a few tea trees, but Fan Jingjing trained some people who fried tea from their imagination, and the taste of the fried tea was still not satisfied, feeling that it was too bitter and astringent, and the sweetness was insufficient. But condensate improves the quality of the tea. Or produce oolong tea that others can't produce.
For others, the taste of pastry with clear tea is beyond imagination.
"Is there anything special I need to pay attention to when digging potatoes?"
Emperor Li Shimin generously signaled that Fan Jingjing could be responsible for digging a potato.
And Emperor Li Shimin and Empress Changsun also stood in front of a potato plant, holding a shovel in their hands, the shovel was made of bronze, and Fan Jingjing also got a handful in his hand.
Fan Jingjing complained in her heart, obviously it has been the Iron Age since the Han Dynasty, what bronze is still used in the palace? Is it to show their superiority?
Fan Jingjing also knew that the truth in her heart was not suitable to tell.
Fan Jingjing knew that although the emperor was asking what kind of precautions were needed, he was actually ready to follow suit and see how she operated.
Fan Jingjing can also see that potatoes can indeed be dug out when they are ripe, and there is no need to pay special attention to digging potatoes.
If the soil is not too firm, it is actually quite easy to remove the whole potato.
However, after a long period of watering, the land still becomes stronger. Fan Jingjing pulled out the plant, still with the assistance of the output value. Started pulling potatoes.
Although the emperor and the empress also carried out at the same time, their eyes were not looking at the potatoes in front of them, but at the potatoes pulled out by Fan Jingjing, Fan Jingjing graduated from the Department of Agriculture after all, although she had no experience in operation, but she still quickly pulled out the potatoes.
It seems that the Forestry Department takes great care of their potatoes, even without the help of condensate. The potatoes are still long bunches and very firm. Seeing this, the emperor and empress couldn't help but start to move themselves. After the emperor had dug up the potatoes, the others also started to pull the potatoes out of the ground.
"How do you eat these potatoes?"
Fan Jingjing didn't say anything, just asked the emperor for two potatoes, then put the pulled out potato stems and leaves on them, and then lit them on fire.
Matches are no longer a strange thing to the palace. Even if the emperor and empress are around, there are people with matches at all times, who can bring light at any time.
Although Fan Jingjing does not have enough control over firewood, but for this kind of barbecue, it is not too time-conscious barbecue to make a delicious taste, anyway, as long as the barbecue time is enough, even if the potatoes are too cooked, they will not be burned.
And Fan Jingjing was afraid that the potatoes would not be cooked and would not be good for his health, so he deliberately roasted them for a little longer, if it was Niu Shijin, he would probably be able to intuitively know how long to bake, to be honest, if it weren't for the Niu family being a little troublesome for Fan Jingjing, Fan Jingjing really wanted to marry Niu Shijin for his stomach.
There is a saying that controlling a man's stomach is equivalent to controlling a man's heart.
This phrase is equally applicable to women.
If you control a woman's stomach, she won't be able to run either.
Of course, there are many women who are more realistic, because what kind of husband they marry is almost equivalent to their lifelong happiness, so after a certain age, women will become very realistic. I also know what I want and what I can sacrifice.
Then they will evaluate whether the sacrifice is worth it.
Fan Jingjing is a person who lives in the fairy tale world, although she is facing reality now, but this reality is not too harsh for him, at least she has a good beginning, and she also uses a sharp weapon that people in this era do not have, she believes that as long as she survives the first and second periods, she will not have a bad life, but if she finds a bad husband, all her efforts will be in vain.
There is a good saying that if a man has power and money, he will become bad.
Although the Niu family is not too rich, it is not bad, at least the food and clothing can be a little luxurious. Even Fan Jingjing felt that the life of the Niu family could not meet her needs, and the most important thing was that it was too primitive. However, although the power of the Niu family can't seem to be seen, it can also be guessed from the name of Niu Shijin's father that they are a group of top powers. It's also very easy to bully men and women.
When they walk outside, they don't even have to bully men and women, many beautiful girls will automatically stand in front of them, wanting them to choose, even if they are just a maid, they are willing. It would be wonderful to be a concubine.
People in this era don't see much romance, and there are more fantasies about life than fantasies about love.
For men with power and money, they have too many temptations, and many of them are willingly given by others. Fan Jingjing can't say that they are wrong, because in this era, most people actually live very hard, and they just want to use their little ability to make their lives better.
So as long as there is hope for a better life, they will wonder if the sacrifice they have made is worth it.
Sometimes the sacrifices they pay are just for the family, not even for themselves, and if the family continues, his incense will not be broken. In some of the more traditional families, this tradition has been maintained.
The entire Tang Dynasty is composed of large and small family clans, if a person lives to the point that he does not even have a family, it will be difficult to continue to survive in this world, and the overly large family will continue to fall apart and become a small family to continue to survive. No matter how it rises and falls, there will always be a family that survives in each branch of the family.
In most cases, people will sacrifice for their families, but not necessarily for the country.
The reason why the concept of the state came into being was that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was constantly brainwashed that a central concept was slowly formed.
Feeling that the time was almost up, Fan Jingjing turned the potatoes out, the potatoes turned out were hot, and there was a fragrance, Fan Jingjing took one potato up, but the other two potatoes were not touched again.
Fan Jingjing was not qualified to give it to the emperor to eat, so he motioned to the eunuch next to him to take out two potatoes for the emperor to eat.
Of course, the eunuch didn't know how to eat potatoes, but Fan Jingjing showed them, Fan Jingjing peeled off the skin, revealing the white flesh inside, and wanted to bite into it, but she was worried that someone would eat her potatoes later, and when the time came, she would eat her saliva, others were not dirty, but she hated others for being dirty, so she pinched a piece of potato to her mouth and ate it.
The eunuchs next to him also did the same, anyway, the people who were emperors and empresses only had the life to eat other people's saliva, at least Fan Jingjing's practice could still be maintained, and the potatoes would not get stained with other people's saliva.
The two eunuchs ate the potatoes, their eyes lit up, and they hurriedly brought the potatoes to the eyes of the emperor and empress.
He didn't take the chopsticks from the eunuch's hand, but directly removed the skin of the potato and began to eat.
"Delicious!"
Then they peeled the potatoes and ate them all. The two of them usually have no habit of eating and drinking, touched their stomachs, experienced it a little, and said:
"Tube full."
Other eunuchs are not without nothing to do, only go to the Forestry Department to weigh the dug potatoes, for the method of measuring the weight of solids on the Forestry Department still has a method, although you can not use your measurement method, but with other methods of measuring other crops, you can still simply measure the weight of potatoes.
"Report to Your Majesty, the weight of potatoes that can be grown in one acre of land is seven hundred stones."
You must know that even if the Shanghai Forestry Department grows grain at most, one acre and three stones is already considered a high yield, but the yield of potatoes is more than 330 times, isn't it amazing.
Fan Jingjing actually thinks that if the way of baking potatoes will be better than potatoes, but Fan Jingjing feels that potatoes are indeed used more than sweet potatoes, so she will contribute potatoes.
However, Fan Jingjing was also worried that the emperor would have a hot brain and change all the places where grain was grown to potatoes.
So he hurriedly suggested to the emperor: "Your Majesty may think that all the land in the world should be changed to potatoes, but although potatoes can be used as food, they hurt the land, and potatoes can be planted in the wasteland, not necessarily in good grain fields, Weichen thinks that potatoes to supplement the shortage of food is the best way." ”
Although Fan Jingjing doesn't want to give it to others, she knows that she can give others a serious feeling when she is expensive, but Fan Jingjing does not kneel on her knees, but kneels on one knee, she thinks that this kneeling method is more imposing, who said that women can't pay attention to momentum?
"Potatoes eat the earth? Isn't that the land wasted if it hits? ”
Emperor Li Shimin actually never farmed, but he often held pro-agricultural activities and had a little understanding of agriculture. It's just that he doesn't know very much about the daily life of farmers, after all, when he goes down to the farmers, they always choose the best farmers and the best land to show him.
The bitter side of the real peasant family could not be seen by the emperor.
Therefore, although the emperor knew that the farm was hard, he had never seen the real environment, so he was biased.
"It's not that the land won't be wasted, it's just that a lot of nutrients must be added and fertilized well. During this time, I observed that even if the land was destroyed, people did not apply fertilizer carefully, but would plough the land many times to prevent weeds from growing on the land, and to loosen the soil and allow a lot of nutrients to enter the soil.
