……

The first meeting with His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, although it caused some accidents because of the sudden entry, and Li Anran's attitude was indeed a little rude, but in the subsequent time, the atmosphere in the entire hall was still harmonious and stable.

Considering that the purpose of coming this time was potatoes, Li Shimin originally wanted to go to the field as soon as possible to see the actual harvest. But under Li Anran's persuasion, he finally decided to taste the taste of the potatoes before it was too late.

After Zhao Qian took the cook he trained to work in the kitchen of the inner courtyard for a while, dishes that were also made of potatoes began to flow into the hall.

As the king of a country, Li Shimin naturally has absolute priority, but for the dishes full of color, flavor and flavor on the table, he did not start directly, but let the close inner poems test these dishes in various ways.

Seeing such a move, Li Anran was not surprised at all. As the old saying goes, the son of a daughter can't sit down. The dignified king of a country does this thing of white fish and dragon clothes, especially when he runs to the protagonist's house, he doesn't take any precautions against the food that is sent, and he just picks it up and eats it, and it will only appear in those unreliable YY novels.

But in Li Anran's view, the ancient method of drug testing. Even if there are chamberlains who will taste all the dishes first to test the poison, as long as they get some chronic poison, it is not too difficult to poison the truth of the Tang Emperor in front of him.

Li Shimin, who was sitting in the top position, naturally didn't know that his little life could be taken away by someone so easily. The whole person's attention is drawn to those dishes made with potatoes as raw materials.

After the waiter had tried all the dishes and drinks one by one, Li Shimin would pick up all the silver chopsticks specially used to eat outside, that is, chopsticks made of sterling silver, and try each dish.

"Yes, yes, the dishes made from this potato taste really good, Zhong Aiqing. Try them all. Li Shimin who tasted many dishes. Picking up the wine cup in front of him, he said with a smile.

At this person's command, the civil and military generals who were sitting on the lower seat had already been hooked by the fragrant food in front of them, and first expressed their gratitude in unison. Then they picked up their chopsticks and stretched them out towards the dish they liked the most.

Wait until the first bite of potatoes is stuffed into everyone's mouth. The atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly fell silent. Wrong. It can't be said to be quiet, although no one speaks anymore, but the sound of chewing is one after another. Especially the generals. The appearance of the food can no longer be described as vicious.

Although Li Shimin and other ministers still have more or less doubts about whether the real yield of potatoes can reach 200 stones. But as for the taste and texture of this thing, I have a better understanding after tasting many dishes.

"Real person, the dish made from this potato is indeed very good, but can this thing be used as a staple food?" After destroying a crockpot of potato stew and beef, Li Shimin wiped his mouth with satisfaction and asked.

"Holy Lord, this thing can be used as a dish or as a staple food, as for the specific way to eat it." Speaking of this, Li Anran slapped his face at the moment, and ordered outside: "Come on, noodles and noodles!" ”

It didn't take long for the ancients led by Li Shimin to put two bowls in front of them.

Unlike the previous dishes, which were not very large, these two bowls are big and scary, and they can completely put an adult's face into it and be rich.

The soup base in the two bowls is divided into two types: clear soup and red soup. In addition to the different colors of the soup, the two bowls, which do not have any toppings, also contain two kinds of strips of different thicknesses and widths.

"It's a soup cake, right?" picked up the silver chopsticks and picked up the strip-shaped object in the clear soup bowl and looked at Li Shimin, who couldn't help but say.

"The noodles are similar to soup cakes, but the noodles in this bowl are not made of flour, but potato flour, and the texture and taste are quite different from ordinary noodles and soup cakes." Li Anran, who also picked up a bowl of potato noodles, explained with a smile.

After the waiter checked that the two bowls of things were fine, Li Shimin picked up a chopstick potato noodles and stuffed them into his mouth.

The biggest difference between noodles made from potato flour and noodles made from ordinary flour is that they are smoother and more elastic. In a way, it's a bit similar to the texture of rice noodles. At the same time, there is also a feature that noodles do not have, that is, they will not rot after cooking for a long time.

Just when Li Shimin and the ministers began to taste the potato noodles, Li Anran unhurriedly picked up a few dishes on the previous table, mixed some into the noodle bowl, and then ate them in a big gulp.

After sleeping in Taoran Pavilion all night, this stomach was already hungry. The smooth and elastic potato noodles, coupled with the rich and fragrant soup base, and the sour, spicy, or salty and sweet dishes as toppings, snorting and eating a bowl of noodles, how refreshing it feels.

Li Shimin, who was still eating noodles, and the ministers, after seeing someone's way of eating, suddenly learned the same. Not to mention, the toppings are made from the dishes, and the flavor of the noodles suddenly becomes richer and more delicious.

Compared to potato noodles, potato vermicelli is much heavier. The red layer of chili oil directly made the ministers who were not used to this taste choke and coughed, and they lost their temper for a while.

Li Shimin was smarter, and after discovering that the soup color of the potato noodles was not quite right, he was not stupid enough to ruthlessly use chopsticks, but just tasted it, so he was not as embarrassed as the generals who ate and devoured things.

To say that the place where Chang'an is located is also a place where spicy food can be eaten in later generations, but in this era, chili peppers have not yet entered China. Although there are also spicy things such as dogwood, leeks, and garlic, Li Anran uses Chaotian pepper, and it is also Chaotian pepper grown after the influence of time and space travel.

Whether this thing is dried or fresh, it only takes a little bit to bring a super spicy taste to the eater. After making it into red oil, pouring such a layer, even if people who can eat spicy food in modern time and space meet, most of them have to be planted, not to mention these Tu people who have never eaten spicy food.

Fortunately, when serving the noodles, Li Anran also asked his subordinates to prepare ice water, so although those ministers were very embarrassed, they were not so bad that they were spicy. Of course, there are also people who are spicy and wonder if this thing will be poisonous, but after seeing someone eat a lot of skin, they can only look at each other without saying a word.

"Holy Lord, this potato vermicelli is a little spicy, but the effect of this kind of thing is that chili peppers remove moisture and invigorate blood. At the same time, it also has a good effect on the treatment of chilblains, rheumatic pain, and lumbar myalgia, and it is still beneficial to the body to eat occasionally. After snoring and destroying his share of hot and sour potato vermicelli, Li Anran, who poured a glass of grapes and rinsed his mouth, said with a smile.

Regarding the troubles of the courtiers, Li Shimin was glad that he was cautious enough, but he had no intention of pursuing it. Compared with this little thing, potatoes are more important than the fact that crops can be used as staple foods.

After the potato noodles and potato vermicelli, there are four dishes in the kitchen: potato cakes, baked potatoes with cheese baked roots, and chips and chips. And this time, the generals who had just been pitted naturally had to be much more careful.

After carefully trying it, and finding that these things did not cause you to suffer, but on the contrary, they tasted very good, and the hall once again resumed the scene of no speech, only chewing.

After tasting the dishes and staple foods made with potatoes, Li Shimin was finally able to confirm that potatoes, a grain that was said to have been brought down from this world, could not only be used as a vegetable but also as a staple food, and his heart was both satisfied and excited.

I am satisfied that the taste of this thing is really good, and I am excited that if the yield per mu of this thing can really reach 200 stones, no! As long as it can reach 100 stones, no! It should be said that as long as it can reach ten stones, even if I dare not say that there will be no famine in Datang, as long as it is promoted properly, at least most of the time, there is no need to worry about the people not having food.
