Chapter 173: Ten Dishes and One Soup for Lunch

At this time, Liang's father-in-law observed Liu Pan'er without a trace, and felt that this Liu lady was indeed not an ordinary woman as Gu Shao said. Even the daughters of those big families in the capital who have been carefully cultivated may not be so calm and calm when they see so many officials.

And they drank the water, ate the melons, and went to the clean house.

Whether it was the people from the capital or the officials of Cuiyang County, they all began to get busy. First measure how big this sweet potato field is, determine that it is one acre of land, and then excavate.

The subordinates of the county magistrate Liu, as well as the short-term workers hired from the county seat, have now become skilled at digging sweet potatoes. In front of everyone's eyes, he threw off his arms and dug sweet potatoes.

There were many people, and they were skilled, and after a while, the purple-red sweet potatoes, large and small, were dug out, and the soil on them was removed, and one after another.

Seeing that the sweet potatoes were similar to the baskets of sweet potatoes above the court, the big farmer was extremely sure that Gu Shao's words were right.

Thinking of the poverty of his family when he was a child, and his grandmother was starved to death, Master Simi couldn't help but feel sad and knelt on the pile of sweet potatoes in the field, choking up.

He couldn't control his crying, so much so that everyone looked at him.

The eldest Song Yushi was startled when he saw Da Nongsi crying like this at this time, and hurriedly asked, "Master Mi, why are you crying?" The sweet potatoes are dug up, and the joy is. ”

Before, they had always doubted Qin Cha Gu Shao's words, but when they saw these sweet potatoes dug up in front of them, they gradually believed it.

In the court, political opinions are different, and they often spray each other, eager to jump up and point at each other's noses and scold, but in real life, everyone is not an enemy. Especially in the face of solid evidence, they have to believe and admit Gu Shao's merits.

They cannot oppose for the sake of opposing it, but oppose it because they are wrong. Since the other side is right, what reason do they have to object?

Master Simi replied: "Let my colleagues laugh, Mi was born in a poor peasant family, and his memory since childhood is hunger." My grandmother went hungry in order to save food. If there were such high-yielding sweet potatoes back then, not too many, two sweet potatoes a day, and my grandmother would not starve to death. The world is so big, there are too many people who can't eat enough. With such a high-yield crop, it is really auspicious from heaven and prosperous for me. ”

Under the court, they can still refute, but now the ministers can't.

Sweet potatoes have a high yield, and those potatoes shouldn't be fake either.

Gu Shao has a bright future and will not joke about his career.

Lord Song nodded, thinking deeply, "God bless Da Zhou." ”

If the common people can eat enough and not starve to death, what reason does Lord Song have to blame the one sitting on the dragon chair!

After all, from ancient times to the present, there has not been such a high-yield crop, let alone such a feat that can make the people of the world full.

The emergence of high-yielding crops is a sign of prosperity.

Zhou Cuihua was called over by Li Fang to help, and she didn't care about cooking at home, so she let her mother-in-law stuff rice at home. At noon, the family ate casually, and she came over first to help entertain those adults from the capital.

Zhou Cuihua saw that those adults were braving the heat, watching the digging of sweet potatoes, walked in front of Liu Pan'er, and asked in a low voice: "Yuanqing's family, eat at your house at noon, or eat at my house?" ”

Liu Pan'er looked at her bamboo shed and replied, "Auntie, let's eat at my house at noon today, it's cool outside, it's not convenient for so many people in the cave." ”

Zhou Cuihua nodded, feeling that Liu Pan'er made sense, "Okay, it's at your house." What do you have in your house? If you don't have it, I have it at home, bring it. ”

Liu Pan'er thought for a while and asked, "Auntie, do you have meat at home?" ”

Zhou Cuihua nodded, "When your uncle went to deliver melons to Steward Zhao this morning, he bought three catties of meat, and I brought them all for you." ”

Liu Pan'er nodded, "Auntie, let's entertain these adults first, I won't be polite to you, hurry up and bring the meat over, I'll stew the braised pork first." ”

"Okay, I'll go over here." Zhou Cuihua responded, hurried home, and not only took the meat, but also brought some other things at home.

Liu Paner began to list the menu, cold dishes and cucumbers, cold beans, stir-fried cabbage, tomato scrambled eggs, shredded fungus pork, sour and hot potato shreds, braised pork, sweet and sour fish, and a tomato egg drop soup, as well as steamed sweet potatoes.

Finally, Liu Paner is ready to make sweet potato shredding.

Ten dishes and one soup is good for a farmer's village.

Liu heard his daughter's words in the field and told Boss Zheng that he was working here, and she wanted to go back to help.

As soon as Boss Zheng heard that the official master was coming, he was even more respectful.

Li Dabao also followed home, and when he went back, he picked up the basket that was placed in the weeds in the field stream, took it home, and cooked for his mother.

Li Dabao saw that the eldest aunt was nervous, and said with a smile: "Auntie, there must be a lot of yellow eel, crabs and small shrimp in our basket. ”

Liu nodded, "I hope to order more, there are more people today, and there are more meals to cook." We have eight hired workers at home, and we can't forget them when it's time to eat. ”

Li Li thought for a while, "Mother, the pots and stoves at home are all used for cooking." It is estimated that the meals made for hired workers will have to be borrowed from the stove of the village chief's grandmother's house. ”

Liu nodded, "It's too slow to make rice, I'll roll noodles for them, fry a pot of dumplings, and then make a pot of cucumbers, deal with today's noon first, and then make some delicious food for the hired workers in the evening." ”

Li Dabao agreed, "It's only like this, I can't be busy." Greet those adults first, after all, these are all the God of Wealth. ”

When they returned to the village, Village Chief Li and Li Dashan had already arrived, talking back on the side.

They still had some sweet potatoes in the field, and they were waiting for Lord Qin to come and dig them.

Liu Paner took her daughter Li Rong to cook for the officials, and Zhou Cuihua took Liu back to make hand-rolled noodles for the officials and hires. Rolling noodles is fast, and you can also roll out the noodles in advance, put them in the basket, and lay the noodles together

The pot of marinated water in the pot has just been stewed into the flavor, and it can be eaten, and then it can be made into a sauce, and all kinds of dishes are fried together, and the taste is also good, and the key is to put more oil.

Separate and dare not delay.

All kinds of ingredients such as onions, ginger, garlic and so on were ready, Li Fang made rice, and Li Li began to light the fire for Liu Paner, according to Liu Paner's requirements, the big fire, or the small fire.

Vegetarian dishes are fried first, and the weather is hot, even if the vegetarian dishes are cold, it will not affect the taste, but meat dishes will not work.

However, the last dish of shredded sweet potatoes needs to be eaten out of the pot, otherwise it will stick to the plate.

Li Rong is ready to shoot cucumbers and cold beans, and is in charge of cold dishes.

Liu Paner's movements were very fast, and the speed of stir-frying was also fast, and after a while, a few meat and vegetable stir-fried dishes were done, and the tomato and egg drop soup were also cooked, put in a clean basin, and covered with a sieve.

Liu Paner didn't dare to use big sweet potatoes, so she picked those small sweet potatoes and steamed them in a small pot.

Next, she wants to make the long-awaited sweet potato.

Liu Paner peeled and washed the remaining sweet potatoes, cut them into three or four centimeter hob pieces, washed them in clean water, and then took them out and drained them. This step is indispensable, because if the starch on the surface of the sweet potato is not washed off, it will turn black during frying, affecting the taste and color.
