Lu Chen picked one up and put it in his mouth, it was indeed it, both in appearance and taste, it was exactly the same, but it didn't taste good, and I didn't know how to cut it into shreds or slices.

Old man Deng was sad, but he still had to explain, "This thing usually doesn't take it out, and there is an old thing in the academy that always has a messy idea, so the canteen will make this thing once a month according to his requirements." ”

Brother Jing'er's eyes flashed, it was indeed done once a month, but it was made today, and it was so coincidental that he appeared in front of the emperor, see how you quibble.

Lu Chen didn't speak, but pondered something.

Old man Deng's heart lifted, what is there to think about? Could it be that there is something wrong with this thing, but the students have also eaten it, and they have not found anything abnormal: "Emperor, is there something wrong?"

Lu Chen shook his head, and then asked, "How is Xuan Huan's food reserves now?"

Old man Deng was stunned for a moment, how could he suddenly change the topic, "Now that there is tap water for irrigation, the harvest has increased a lot, but the cultivated land is limited after all, and the ordinary people of Xuan Huan are a hundred times and a thousand times that of cultivators, and it is impossible to send people to reclaim and garrison to prevent the destruction of brute beasts, not to mention that there are not so many cultivators, even if there is, they can't afford to waste it, and now most people will not starve, compared to other dynasties and small countries outside Zhongzhou, I don't know how much." ”

It's just that most people won't starve?" Lu Chen nodded, and then continued: "If there is a war, I am afraid that it will not be long before we will be directly dragged down due to lack of food. ”

Old man Deng also sighed a little, but this is the case with all dynasties, so a war is not only about force, but also about the strength of the country.

"But I have a solution to it. Suddenly, Lu Chen came out with such a sentence.

Old man Deng was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly startled, "This ...... This ......", how could he say it so lightly, how could he say something in a place like the cafeteria of this academy that could even affect the structure of the major forces.

Old man Deng's hands trembled a little, food and food, since the establishment of the dynasty, has been a big problem that is difficult to overcome, this is also the fundamental problem that the dynasty can not develop rapidly, without food, even the most basic survival requirements can not be met, how to talk about development, but he said that he can solve this problem, if someone else said this, he would probably snort, after all, it is a problem that Xuanhuan and even all forces for countless generations cannot decide, but who is he, the emperor of Xuanhuan, the person who can lead the future direction of Xuanhuan, who dares to question his words。

Even Brother Jing, who didn't understand anything, showed horror on his face, although he had never been hungry, he knew how many people were hungry.

"Emperor ......" Old man Deng opened his mouth with some difficulty, and then stood up and bowed deeply.

Lu Chen was taken aback, this is a canteen where people come and go, let a pavilion elder of the Radiance Academy salute him, then he can't keep a low profile, look around, sure enough, there are a few people rubbing their eyes in disbelief, are their eyes spent?

Old man Deng also came to his senses, this action was indeed inappropriate, but the emperor had told him not to reveal his whereabouts, so he quickly sat down, but fortunately, the students around him just rubbed their eyes, and then shook their heads in disbelief and muttered a few words.

Lu Chen picked up one of the plates again and said, "Do you know how long it can be stored without spoiling." ”

Old man Deng shook his head suspiciously, who has nothing to do to study this thing.

Lu Chen continued: "Do you know how much you can harvest if you plant it? Do you know the planting environment?"

Old man Deng's face was solemn, could it be that the solution that the emperor said should rely on it? But it is not regular food, old man Deng said cautiously: "Please show the emperor." ”

Lu Chen looked at the round ball in front of him, and sighed, there is indeed a certain law in heaven and earth, the potatoes that can be seen everywhere in the previous life, he also sees them now, potatoes, potatoes, you are buried in this world.

Lu Chen said: "Store it, it won't break down for at least a year, and I also know some other ways to use it, if you process it according to my method, storing it for five or six years is not a question, but it can be used as a strategic material, and disaster relief is not bad." ”

After speaking, he continued: "As for the planting aspect. Lu Chen shook a potato that he picked up and said: "If you plant such a one, you can harvest a few catties in about five months, and they are not picky about the planting environment, and they don't even need to be taken care of, that is to say, they can be thrown on the mountains and mountains, and a large number of them can be harvested in five months." ”

"Really...... Really?" Old man Deng was a little unbelievable, he had also eaten this thing, it was very full, and the taste was okay, but it could really harvest so much, and it was so easy to plant? The storage time is still so long, it is terrible to be able to store it for a year, the emperor actually said that it can reach five or six years, if it is really like that, then Xuan Huan may no longer have to worry about food, this is a new food, a food that can solve the difficulties of the world.

Lu Chen nodded, potatoes were originally cheap seeds, and the survival rate was very high, as for how many catties a plant would harvest, he still said smaller, this world is full of aura, and it is really hard to say how much a plant can harvest, but it will never be less than the previous life.

Old man Deng choked up a little, although he came from a family, but it was a declining family, because of the lack of food in the family, even all the servants were sent away, during that time I really experienced the life of the poor, and then because of his cultivation, this was relieved, like him in a family have been worried about food, other civilians can be imagined.

"Where did you find this thing, how many of them?" Lu Chen asked.

Without waiting for Old Man Deng to answer, Brother Jing preemptively said: "I know, on a mountain outside Sunset City, there are everywhere, and some people go there to dig and eat when they don't have anything to eat." ”

"Isn't there anything else?" Lu Chen continued.

"It doesn't seem to be. Brother Jing said unclearly.

Old man Deng nodded: "It's true that there is only one on that mountain, and there are quite a few of them." Because the old thing in the academy wants to make it and supply it to the students, they also investigated, no matter how the old thing tosses, at least they have to ensure that there are no side effects after eating it.

A mountain, that amount should be good, but compared to the number of people in the Xuan Huan, it is equivalent to a grain of sand in the sea, "Don't use them as food for the time being, collect them and use them as seeds." ”

Old man Deng reacted violently, yes, yes, they eat one now is equivalent to several catties in the future, it's too wasteful, it's too wasteful, no, he has to stop the old man from digging, and others are not allowed to dig, this is the hope of Xuanhuan's development, if it is really as the emperor said, so good planting, such a large harvest, so long storage time, then Xuanhuan will not be afraid of fighting for a long time, compared with other forces, the advantage will be greatly increased.

Old man Deng wanted to get up and deal with this matter, he couldn't wait, and he had to report such a major matter to the emperor as soon as possible, but it was impossible to leave the emperor alone.

Lu Chen smiled, he was really anxious, "I'll write you about planting and storing and other methods." ”

Yes, yes, why did you forget this in a hurry, Old Man Deng couldn't help but pat his head.

Lu Chen took out a pen and paper and wrote it down, writing down as much as he knew, not only with precautions for planting and storage, but also wrote a few recipes for cooking with potatoes, using potatoes to make soybean flour, and then processing it into vermicelli The method was also written, I believe that this popular food should be able to win everyone's love.

Old man Deng's hand holding the paper kept shaking, there was such detailed information, it was not at all inferior to a known food, "The emperor is so familiar with it, does it have a name?"

"Potatoes. Lu Chen threw down a sentence casually.

"Potatoes, potatoes, beans that grow in the soil, well, very exactly. "Old man Deng is already a little incoherent, the potatoes are from Sunset City, the emperor offers advice to the Radiance Academy, I believe that his Radiance Academy will resound in Zhongzhou again with the name of the emperor.
