Early the next morning, Mu Qingli and his entourage, under the leadership of Nong Han, rode to Taixing Mountain in Pingcheng. Taixing Mountain is located in the north of Pingcheng, is a vast area of barren mountains and mountain ranges of the frontier part, it still takes an hour to reach by horseback, Taixing Village at the foot of the mountain, is the village where Nonghan is located.

After arriving at the foot of the mountain, Zhao Ziyang, Nong Han and others dismounted and went into the mountain to look for potatoes, but Mu Qingli stayed in place and waited because of the injury on his foot.

Mu Qingli and the two personal soldiers who protected her chatted nonsense all over the world, and after more than three hours, Zhao Ziyang and the others finally came out.

Mu Qingli limped up and said eagerly: "How?" Can you find it? ”

Zhao Ziyang put down the bamboo basket behind him and said with a smile: "It's a little deep to go in, almost into the barren mountains and mountains, I finally found it, you see, is it the potato you are looking for?" I dug it up. ”

Mu Qingli squatted down and picked up the back basket, and carefully took out the cyan plant in the back basket, the roots were densely packed with fist-sized yellow fruits, which were potatoes!

Mu Qingli was overjoyed and smiled: "It's the potato!" That's the potato! ”

Zhao Ziyang saw Mu Qingli smiling so excitedly, and couldn't help but smile and bend his eyes, "It's good, it's good~"

Mu Qingli counted, this one has fifteen potatoes, if you want to plant it on a large scale, the amount will not be enough, "How many have you dug back?" ”

Zhao Ziyang said: "There are not many potatoes in this area, we searched that area, and we dug a total of about 20 catties." ”

Mu Qingli pondered, "Less is less, only after this batch is planted, the potatoes that bear fruit continue to be used as seeds, so it should be." ”

"Okay, it's all up to you, what do we do next?"

"Go back first, ask Zhangzhou Mansion to find a few good farmers in the land, and then we will think about it slowly." Mu Qingli couldn't figure out the geographical distribution and climate conditions of this era, it was not enough to know how to crop species, if he wanted to succeed, he could only rely on the native croppers to explore.

"Okay." Zhao Ziyang put the basket behind his back and beckoned home.

After returning to Pingcheng, Mu Qingli pulled out five smaller potatoes and smiled at Zhao Ziyang: "Wait a while, I'll let you taste the taste of this potato, and keep it to your satisfaction." ”

Zhao Ziyang had long been very curious about the potatoes that Mu Qingli admired in every way, and when he heard it now, he nodded happily: "Okay!" I've been waiting for you for a long time. ”

Mu Qingli smiled and turned towards the kitchen of the mansion.

After a while, a plate of fragrant vinegared shredded potatoes and steaming three baked potatoes were served on the table, and Mu Qingli apologized to Zhao Ziyang and Zhang Xianmin, who were already sitting at the table waiting: "There are not many potatoes found this time, I can only do these, taste it, you can taste it, rest assured, it is definitely not poisonous." ”

Zhao Ziyang didn't care so much, he took the lead in picking up a large mouthful of shredded potatoes and stuffing them into his mouth, he was already hooked by the tempting aroma of potatoes, and after chewing twice, his eyes couldn't help but burst stars: "This is also so delicious!" ”

Zhang Xianmin, who was still a little worried, couldn't help it when he heard the words, put a chopstick shredded potato into his mouth and chewed it carefully, and the more he chewed, the brighter his eyes became: "What is this, the taste is so unique, with crisp sweetness in the sourness, it is appetizing." ”

Mu Qingli said with a smile: "This is vinegared shredded potatoes, but unfortunately there is no no chili, and the sour and spicy taste is more delicious." ”

Zhang Xianmin finished taking a bite and couldn't wait to clip it again, only to find that the plate on the table, which was originally full of shredded potatoes, had been sandwiched by Zhao Ziyang!
