Chapter 27 The Disadvantages of Eating Sweet Potatoes
After putting the sweet potatoes away, He Qiu brought a small maza, sat in front of the stove, and waited intently until the sweet potatoes were baked.
This is when the inconvenience of ancient society arises.
I don't even have a mobile phone, which makes the waiting process very boring.
He Qiu asked Zhu Di as if he was speechless: "Your Highness, have you come up with a good way to ask me the question you asked me yesterday?" β
Zhu Di shook his head a little frustrated and said: "I haven't thought of any good ways yet, this king's foundation in Shuntian Mansion is still too shallow, and many methods can't be realized!" β
He Qiu smiled: "Isn't there a good way in front of you now?" You're not going to give it a try? β
"Okay?"
Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "What Mr. said is ...... Sweet potato? β
He Qiu nodded and said: "That's right, as long as you can promote sweet potatoes and reduce taxes and grains appropriately, you will definitely be able to gain a lot of people's hearts and make your reputation directly full!" β
βpiaοΌβ
Zhu Di slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "Mr. is right, I didn't turn my brain just now, this is indeed a good way to gain prestige, thank you Mr. He for reminding me!" β
Just now, Zhu Diguang wanted to benefit the people, but he didn't expect to use this to invite himself to buy prestige, but now that He Qiu dialed it out, he immediately understood.
"You are a fan of the authorities, even if I don't remind you, you can figure it out yourself after a while!"
He Qiu said, adding another piece of firewood to the stove.
Zhu Di suddenly thought of another question, and hurriedly asked, "Sir, may I ask how long it will take for this sweet potato to ripen after it is planted?" I don't think sweet potatoes were planted in your courtyard garden yesterday......"
When He Qiu heard this, his hand holding the firewood shook slightly.
Sloppy.
This sweet potato is indeed growing a little too fast.
I didn't have it yesterday, but I grew it up today, which is a bit hard to explain.
Just when He Qiu's brain was spinning wildly and was about to find a reason, he heard Zhu Di continue: "I know, this must be your immortal method, I just want to know, how long it will take for ordinary people to grow sweet potatoes!" β
He Qiu let out a sigh of relief, and his mood relaxed a lot.
didn't need to find a reason by himself, Zhu Di had already helped him find a reason.
In fact, when Zhu Di was in the jungle, he suspected that He Qiu was not a mortal.
Later, He Qiu successively made beer, instant noodles and ****, which made Zhu Di even more sure that He Qiu must not be a mortal, and nine times out of ten he is a child of the fairy family.
Only the children of the immortal family can make these many things that are close to immortal traces.
"If ordinary people grow sweet potatoes, they can be harvested in about four or five months, and they can be planted twice a year, which is a fairly affordable food crop!"
He Qiu explained to Zhu Di with a relaxed expression.
Zhu Di nodded and said: "If it is twice a year, it is indeed quite affordable!" is worthy of Mr. He, even such crops can be made, which really makes this king admire indescribable! β
He Qiu said modestly: "It's okay, but although sweet potatoes are good, they are not suitable for long-term staple food, and this must be informed to the people when promoting!" β
"Huh?"
Zhu Di's eyes widened and said, "But why is this?" β
He Qiu hesitated for two seconds and said, "This sweet potato...... If you eat too much, it is easy to cause bloating, and farting will be more frequent! β
Sweet potatoes contain an oxidase, which tends to produce a large amount of carbon dioxide gas in the human stomach, which can cause bloating, burping, and farting.
But this kind of popular science is obviously not suitable for the ancients, so He Qiu simplified it.
Zhu Di smiled after hearing this: "What should I be, it turns out that this is the reason, in fact, this is nothing, as long as the people can eat enough, they can still bear to fart!" β
He Qiu looked at Zhu Di speechlessly.
This thing must have never experienced the scene of being surrounded by stinky farts.
When He Qiu was in school that year, there was a dinner party of six people in the dormitory that broke his stomach and farts all night.
The entire dormitory was turned into a biochemical laboratory, almost sending He Qiu away.
Then again, though.
The living conditions of the people in the early Ming Dynasty really cannot be compared with the present.
In the last year of the disaster, there are many people who eat Yizi or eat Guanyin soil.
Compared to these, sweet potatoes are nothing at all.
Survival and life are two different concepts.
"Anyway, you can weigh it yourself, I'm just making a suggestion!"
He Qiu didn't explain anything to Zhu Di too much, after all, his understanding of this dynasty was definitely not as profound as Zhu Di's, and if he said too much, he would make mistakes.
Zhu Di nodded, and then asked: "Sir, I asked people to find a place in the west of the city to develop shotguns and pistols, if you have free time, you can go over and see what things you need to add, you can go to Jin Zhong!" β
He Qiu's face collapsed suddenly.
This goods are also too anxious.
Now is simply not the time to develop shotguns and pistols.
Not to mention disrupting the historical process, let's just say that Zhu Di is just a vassal king now.
If he really equipped his own guards with firearms with great lethality, it would definitely arouse the suspicion of the central court.
Even if Zhu Yuanzhang believes in his son, but the prince's family still has the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, he will definitely not let Zhu Di go easily.
However, in front of Zhu Di, He Qiu still nodded and said: "Okay, I will take a look when I have time, and I will also develop shotguns and pistols as soon as possible, Your Highness, although rest assured, I know what I know!" β
He Qiu had already thought about it, and when it was time to develop shotguns and pistols, he would think of all kinds of ways to delay time.
And these solutions are also quite easy to think of.
For example, the manufacture of bullet needles and gun chambers requires the use of special metal materials, which are not available in this era, and it takes a long time to develop.
Zhu Di didn't notice He Qiu's passive slackness, but said with longing: "When Mr.'s shotguns and pistols are mass-produced, this king will no longer be afraid of Lan Yu's fight, and he can expel and destroy all the foreign enemies of the Ming Dynasty, which is really ......."
Before Zhu Di finished speaking, a refreshing fragrance suddenly spread.
"It's so fragrant, what does it smell like?"
Zhu Di couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and his stomach began to growl.
He hadn't had time to eat in the morning, and he was already a little hungry at this time, and when he was stimulated by the scent, he was even more hungry.
"It's the taste of a roasted sweet potato, it's almost baked in a moment, you can taste it when the time comes, and the taste will definitely satisfy you!"
He Qiu smiled after speaking, and then moved the cauldron pressed on the stove.
The aroma suddenly became more intense.
"Hmm!"
Zhu Di took a deep breath and praised again: "This taste is so fragrant, it is comparable to minced meat, this king really can't wait to taste it." β
