498 Delicious in the World
Jiang Weilan asked Cong Jue to take out seven or eight potatoes of different sizes from a large pile of potatoes, saying that he would try them tonight, and asked Cong Lin and Congshan to help put them in the basket and put them in the cellar.
"I'm going to try potatoes tonight, and I wonder if the three gentlemen have the guts to try it with me." Jiang Weilan had the intention to invite, but after thinking about it again and again, he finally decided to only invite rather than forcibly request.
After all, the three gentlemen were only invited to teach by themselves, and she really couldn't afford to have any problems with this potato.
But Mr. Li said directly: "Miss Jiang is benevolent and righteous, what is there to be afraid of?" ”
He felt so excited at this moment that he couldn't wait to go to the school immediately and write a potato essay with a splash of ink. Naturally, the first person in the world to eat potatoes also felt that he should have his own share!
In fact, the other two gentlemen thought the same as Mr. Li, and after listening to Mr. Li's words, they said again and again that they were very honored.
Jiang Weilan also discovered at this time, among the three gentlemen, Mr. Li is faintly the leader, so it's okay, if the school is to be bigger in the future, there will be no problems in this regard.
"In that case, I'll have three gentlemen come over and have dinner with me in the evening." Jiang Weilan looked at the sky, but it was still early, so he spoke.
The three gentlemen were sent away, and the others had already left, all the people talking about potatoes along the way, which made those who did not see the grand occasion almost regret their deaths.
However, there are also doubts, can there really be such a magical thing? One can grow a whole bunch of them?
Everyone in Zhuangzi knows that the young lady uses a large wooden box to grow many crops that she has never seen before, is it possible that the crops that are so expensive that you need to use wooden boxes to grow crops really have such a high yield?
"Even if the yield is high, we can't afford to grow it, not to mention anything else, that wooden box costs a lot of money, and with that money, we can buy food for a few days." Some people are clearly expressing their opinions.
But I didn't expect that it was this sentence, and it was also ridiculed.
"I'm stupid, you're a fool, this thing must be planted in the ground, otherwise what would Miss be so hard to toss? That is, you have no knowledge and no vision. ”
"You don't know, Miss said, planting in a wooden box is afraid that the weather will change and destroy these good things, if it is a normal time, it will be planted directly in the ground."
"Tu Baozi, you wait until next year to see, Miss said, next year will plant half of the potatoes produced by us here, and half of them will be planted in dry land."
was squeezed by someone for no reason, even a person with a good personality was a little annoyed, but seeing that the people around him looked like he didn't know, he didn't dare to talk more, but he was a little unimpressed in his heart.
After Mr. Li and the others arrived at their study, they were so excited that by the time they had dinner in the evening, they already had their new works, and they repeatedly said that they would send these new works to other friends for appreciation.
Although Jiang Weilan knew that this situation would occur early on, he still thanked the three of them very solemnly.
"Needless to say, the three of us came today to want to know how this thing tastes, if the taste is good, potatoes are even more worthy of recommendation, and when the time comes, the old man will lick his face and ask those friends who are officials to help." Mr. Li said impatiently.
Jiang Weilan listened to Mr. Li's words, nodded solemnly and said: "Mr. is reasonable, I am actually looking forward to the taste of this new crop, when I got the seeds, I knew that the yield was very high, I was not willing to eat even one, I planted them all, and I looked forward to it for many months, but I was more anxious than you, sir." ”
She seemed to be joking, and she seemed to be a serious remark, which surprised several gentlemen.
But also, this is all human nature, if you get such a good thing, you will definitely not be willing to eat it, plant a grain of millet in spring and harvest 10,000 seeds in autumn, this is very reasonable.
"Since Miss hasn't eaten it herself, what method did you cook today?" Mr. Guo asked with some curiosity.
Generally speaking, the cooking method is fixed, but now the young lady says that she has never eaten it, so how to cook this kind of thing, won't no one know? Since no one knows, will it spoil the deliciousness?
Jiang Weilan smiled shyly and said: "Because we don't know very well, I thought that since we want to eat it as food, let the people in the kitchen wash it and steam it directly." ”
Mr. Li nodded again and again, twisted his beard and said: "Miss is reasonable, we really plan to eat it as food, it is either boiled or steamed, so let's taste it first today, if it is indeed edible, it will be more valuable to plant next year." ”
The other two gentlemen also felt that Jiang Weilan's move was indeed very good, for the peasants' stomachs, frying and cooking is indeed not the right way, only steaming is the best method.
Just as I was talking here, I heard Juqing's voice coming from outside the door.
"Miss, the potatoes are ready."
"Just bring it in!" Jiang Weilan greeted.
Juqing walked in from the door, holding a celadon plate in his hand, and the earthy yellow color on it was vaguely visible to be potatoes, but it was very different from the potatoes that had just been dug out of the ground.
The potato was no longer the original bulging appearance, but cracked like a flower to reveal the white and tender flesh inside.
"This is a potato?" Mr. Li was so excited that he couldn't even hold the chopsticks a little steadily, so he simply threw down the chopsticks and walked to Juqing in two steps and asked in a loud voice.
Ju Qing lowered his head and replied: "It was made by the slave maid herself, and she didn't even dare to stagger it during the period, it must be a potato." ”
In fact, when the potatoes were just out of the pot, Juqing was also shocked, she couldn't believe it, the gray and earthy things would be so bright after cooking, this plate of white potatoes and flesh was three points whiter than the white noodles at home, and it made people appetizing when they looked at it.
If she didn't know that this thing was really expensive, she would have wanted to discuss with the young lady to taste it in one bite.
"Juqing, you go get the spoon." Jiang Weilan saw that the potatoes had broken like this, if he took it directly with his hands now, it would not only stain his hands, but also cause the potatoes to break further.
This thing looks very fragrant, but what the taste is, she really doesn't know what it tastes like.
Ju Qing put down the plate in his hand and went to the spoon, Jiang Weilan and the other four people didn't say a word, just looked at the plate of potatoes intently, smelling the fragrance on their faces.
"Miss Jiang, although this thing hasn't been eaten yet, I already think it's delicious in the world." Mr. Li couldn't help but take a deep breath and said.
