Chapter 537 537. Let's dig and dig together

As the weather gets hotter and hotter, the crops in the field are growing well, so to speak, day by day.

The suburbs of Beijing ushered in a wave of potato harvest season, this wave of high-yield crops planted by the family was originally eye-catching, and now the news of the harvest is spreading all over the streets.

The courtiers who had received the seeds a few years ago rushed to their own Zhuangzi in the suburbs, wanting to see with their own eyes whether the potatoes could reach a yield of three or four thousand catties per mu.

Today's Zhuangzi harvest, tomorrow's mu yield can spread throughout the capital, and the rest of the families are not far behind to join the harvest army, vowing to compete, and the capital has fallen into a wave of competition for a while.

"I don't know what it's like, and they didn't plant it themselves."

Qin Zheng, who was also digging potatoes in the ground, snorted disdainfully, and after staying in the Hanlin Academy for a long time, he became more and more disdainful of the behavior of the officials in the DPRK and China.

"My son is going to resign and go home to sell fruit wine!"

"I'm afraid the imperial concubine will be the first to refuse."

Yu Heting smiled while pulling potatoes, "Brother Qin, you can stay in the Hanlin Academy." ”

"Alas~ Why did my aunt want me to be an official?"

He wasn't free at all.

If it weren't for the presence of Shen Xingluo and Yu Heting in the Hanlin Academy, he would have quit a long time ago.

"Brother Qin, it's hard work."

Yu Heting chuckled again when he heard this.

The imperial concubine has five princes under her knees, how can the Qin family, a relative, stay out of the matter, no matter whether the five princes are interested in that position or just want to protect themselves, the greater the power of the Qin family, the more powerful it is.

Can Qin Zheng not know the reason?

But knowing is knowing, and the unhappiness of being restricted from freedom is also real.

"Shen Xingluo, my son will work for you today, and you have to eat delicious food at noon!"

"Did I get you here?"

Even if I came by myself, I can't ignore the food!"

Qin Zheng crossed his waist, "I don't care, I just want to eat food, I want a table of food!" ”

Shen Xingluo didn't bother to take care of him, so he took care of himself and bagged the potatoes he dug up and moved them to the ground.

There were not only these two people on the Shen family's Zhuangzi, Qu Shaojing also dragged his family to this side after learning the news, Shen Xingqi's little sisters had already been eyeing the Shen family's potatoes, and at this time there were four or five carriages parked outside the Zhuangzi.

There will be a big dinner.

Today's meal, however, is different from the past, with potatoes accounting for most of it.

Cheng Xi handed over the regular dishes to Wang Shu and the two kitchen maids, and when Wang An sent a basket of potatoes, she took Shen Xingqi to clean it up.

"Pick out a few small ones and steam them to make mashed potatoes later."

"What about the big ones? Shredding or dicing? ”

"Divide it in half, and cut out some thick strips."

"Okay."

Shen-Networm-Xingqi understood in seconds, and as soon as she heard it, she knew what her sister-in-law was going to cook.

The potatoes were soon divided into two parts, all the duck eggs were washed and steamed, and the fist-sized ones were washed, peeled and cut.

Hot and sour shredded potatoes, shredded potato cakes, stewed potatoes with pork ribs, potato chips with chopped peppers, stewed beef brisket with potatoes, three fresh potatoes, crucible potato chips, french fries, wolf tooth potatoes.

The smell of the kitchen continued to waft through the air.

Cheng Xi handed over most of the work, and he made new dishes that no one had ever eaten.

The steamed potatoes are mashed, some of which is used to make salty black pepper mash, and the rest of which is used to make sweet salad mash.

Noon soon came, the sun in the sky was getting hotter and hotter, and the little guys brought by Wang An and Qin Zheng in the field were no problem digging potatoes, and they quickly cleaned up those potatoes.

"Oh my God, there really is an output of more than 4,000 catties!"

Qin Zheng's face was covered with dirt, as if he had just come out of the ground, and it was not much worse than the potatoes in his hands.

Yu Heting was more excited than him, and his hands holding a big scale trembled with excitement, as if he had Parkinson's, and his eyes were red.

"I only knew that potatoes were highly productive, and I saw them with my own eyes to realize how real they were."

He came from a poor background, and he still vividly remembered the situation of starvation when he was a child, and he understood best what potatoes meant to the people.

Yu Heting put down the scales, put his hands together and solemnly saluted Shen Xingluo.

"Brother Shen, you should be worshiped by the world."

This worship is his respect for Shen Xingluo as the people of Dayan.

Shen Xingluo turned sideways slightly, "Brother Yu is serious, you and I are all officials in the court, and our responsibilities are here." ”

Yu Heting was stunned and smiled dumbly.

"Hey, what are you two doing?"

The eldest young master Qin Zheng looked at the two of them inexplicably, and his right hand stained with dirt subconsciously scratched the beads of sweat on his cheeks, and the big flower face added another messy trace.

"Nothing.

"Brother Qin, presumably Mrs. Shen has already prepared wine and food waiting for us."

The two walked in the direction of Zhuangzi, leaving Qin Zheng alone muttering in confusion.

"What are you doing? What to do is a master. ”

I didn't tell him yet.

Hmph╭(╯^╰)╮

***

"Wow, these are all potatoes?"

"Oh my God, that's too much!"

"It's so fragrant, it's delicious when you smell it, it turns out that potatoes are not only delicious but also quite delicious?"

Everyone sat down in unison, and the long dining table that had been spliced together was surrounded by water.

Today's people are all young people, the oldest is not more than twenty-five years old, and they are friends, so everyone has abandoned the male and female defense and did not divide the table.

Qin Zheng didn't bother to change his clothes, touched his gurgling stomach and sat down quickly, and took the time to pull Qu Shaojing, who was also a foodie.

"Everyone sit, what's polite to Brother Shen, isn't it worth a meal after we helped him so much? Sit down, sit down! ”

"I invited you here?"

"Hey, for the sake of my tiredness, can you not be so hard-mouthed?"

Qin Zheng was sullen, "Okay, okay, I just want to see with my own eyes if the potatoes are really high-yielding, okay?" ”

Cheng Xi held a long plate and didn't put it down, and slapped Shen Xingluo with his elbow.

The latter glanced at Qin Zheng and saw that he didn't speak with tiredness in his eyes.

Qu Shaojing half-hugged Jiang Yuyao, "Yaoyao, you sit here." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Thanks."

"What do you want to eat? I'll give you the trick, Mrs. Shen's craftsmanship is so good, it's all good to taste. ”

The empty small bowl was quickly piled up, Qu Shaojing didn't care about the eyes of others at all, Jiang Yuyao's face was slightly red because of his movements, and she lowered her head and silently picked up the chopsticks.

"Huh~"

Qin Zheng couldn't stand it and moved to Yu Heting's side a few times, regretting his gesture of greeting Qu Shaojing just now.

The sour and hot potatoes are crispy and crispy and have a unique taste, the potato wedges stewed to beef and pork ribs have a soft and delicate texture, and the potato cakes fried on both sides are full of banana aroma, plus two different flavors of mashed potatoes, one potato makes a variety of textures, and instantly captures everyone's taste buds.

"It's delicious, it's delicious!"

"This potato is really good, it can be used as a staple food and make a delicious dish, it is simply a must!"

"The most important thing is that it is highly productive!"
