Chapter 31: A Heavenly Gift
"It doesn't matter! It's just a few ordinary plants! What threat could it pose? Dongfang Yu said softly.
In antiquity! Both the people and the king believed in the theory of gods and ghosts. For example, earthquakes, the ancients could be regarded as divine punishment from the heavens. Another such as a tsunami, according to legend, is the Dragon King of the East China Sea and so on.
For now, take some plants that are encroaching on crops! There are many edible wild plants with very high nutritional value, but because they are overflowing and encroaching on the land, they are considered by the people to be a punishment from God, and they have always been natural disasters.
Dongfang Yu squatted down, and in the grass pile next to the discarded pile, he picked up a small thing the size of a palm that was not completely round. It was covered in a little mud, and it was impossible to tell what it was.
But! With Dongfang Yu's intuition, in this kind of climate environment, it should be what he thinks in his heart.
Gently wipe away the mud on it, and the outline of the fruit is completely set into view, and the fruit is pale yellow. With just a slight glance, Dongfang Yu's solemn face immediately showed an extremely happy smile.
He muttered, "Yes! Yes! Sure enough, it's a potato! Or wild. ”
Taking advantage of the surprise, Dongfang Yu hurriedly picked up a few again, which I don't know, and it is a surprise to pull it out. In addition to wild potatoes, he actually touched a slender green vine.
Sky! It will actually be a wild sweet potato, commonly known as a sweet potato.
Potatoes and sweet potatoes, these two crops are not only full, but also belong to the kind of crops that are mass-produced!
With Dongfang Yu's massive knowledge, it is enough for these two things to be mass-produced in February and March next year.
Places like Beiliang, which belong to the northwest region, are like summer and autumn, when the temperature can reach more than 30 degrees Celsius during the day, and tend to be one or two degrees at night, the temperature difference between day and night is still very large. In winter, if it is not harvested, the constant low temperature is enough to damage all potatoes, sweet potatoes and other crops, and it is not harvested! That's a ruin.
But what if he installs a planting greenhouse! With his knowledge reserves, potatoes and sweet potatoes can grow normally in spring, summer, autumn and winter throughout the year. And! Crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes can be dug into the cellar and stored for a long time is not a problem.
So! In less than a year, the famine in Beiliang was swept away; Everyone in Beiliang can eat a full meal; At that time! Under the coherence, the people are rich and sincerely united, and the army of Beiliang will also have no worries, and the force of death, looking at the armies of all states in the world, only the Qin army of Beiliang can be called the first army in the world.
He was ecstatic, but he was shocked by Yuwen Hu, "Why is the young master so happy." ”
In his eyes, the thoughts in his head are in harmony with the thoughts of the people. The treasure in Dongfang Yu's eyes was nothing more than a pile of useless garbage. In general, it is the main culprit of the crops.
Dongfang Yu picked up a potato and sweet potato, spread them in the palm of his hand, and said to the two old men, "Uncle! Do you know what it is? ”
"Isn't this a disaster from heaven, but why is Childe so happy?" The two old men were puzzled.
Dongfang Yu shook his head, smiling, and at the same time secretly mocking the ignorance of the ancients, "These two things are called potatoes and sweet potatoes, also called potatoes and sweet potatoes. Of course! You have not heard of it, but you just need to know that these two things are not calamities, but auspicious gifts from heaven! It is a godsend, not a natural disaster. ”
The reason why I say God-given is just to find an excuse to make the people believe it! After all! In this feudal world, I would rather believe in God than in people.
The two of them naturally didn't believe it, because they felt that Dongfang Yu bullied them into old and faint, and deliberately made up nonsense to deceive them, "The little boy wants to talk nonsense, this thing is long and full of mountains, obstructing the reporting and opening up of wasteland, and it is obviously an ominous thing." ”
"And! It is said that a hundred years ago, someone ate this thing called a potato and finally died of poisoning. How can such a harmful thing be said to be a godsend? ”
No wonder they get poisoned!
Potatoes are not cooked in hot water, and generally cannot be eaten raw, because they are easily poisoned. For a little sprouted potatoes, the sprouted part should be dug deeply, peeled and soaked for more than half an hour, discarded with soaking water, and then boiled thoroughly before eating. Potatoes with rotten, moldy or immature green and purple skin and more sprouts are not edible because they contain excessive solanine, which is very easy to cause poisoning.
These are a bunch of idiots who leave their brains at home. It's strange not to die.
Dongfang Yu said patiently again: "Potatoes are naturally easy to be poisoned when eaten raw, but it is indeed a good thing, if you don't believe it, you can see." ”
"Yuwen Hu, make a fire on the spot, and bake potatoes and sweet potatoes."
Yes!
These potatoes and sweet potatoes can really be eaten! Yuwen Wu couldn't believe it.
But it will not go against Dongfang Yu's will, that is, he picked up a pile of firewood next to him and took out the spark seed that was kicked in his chest.
Moments later! The fire was ignited.
Dongfang Yu casually took a few potatoes and sweet potatoes, rubbed the soil on them, and stuffed them directly under the soil ash.
This......
At this time! The two old men were also curious, and their eyes were also very expectant to look at the potatoes and sweet potatoes in the fire. If these two things can really be eaten, then there are many such things all over the mountains, and if they are all collected, this winter, they will definitely not go hungry again.
After a while, Dongfang Yu held a small stick in his hand and turned over the potatoes and sweet potatoes placed in the dust.
"Cooked, cooked!" Dongfang Yu muttered to himself.
Roasted potatoes, roasted sweet potatoes, such things are as delicious as the world! Since I crossed over, I haven't touched two things for more than ten years.
He also wondered, although he was the most unpopular in the palace, but things like potatoes and sweet potatoes should be very common. But now he knew, it turned out! These two things were abandoned by the world and destroyed the heavens.
Pity! It's a pity!
"Whew... Call... Whew..."
Dongfang Yu couldn't help but pick one up directly, the temperature on the surface was particularly hot, and he held it in his hand, throwing it left and right while blowing.
Gently torn from the middle, it was still steaming hot.
"Hmmm......"
"Less... Young Master..."
Before Yuwen Hu had time to stop the tasting, Dongfang Yu took a bite.
"What a smell!" It's really worth missing this kind of earthy taste! Don't forget to remind others, "Don't be stunned! Eat! It's fragrant. ”
Dongfang Yu ate with relish, and the three of them kept swallowing their saliva. It's called potatoes and sweet potatoes, can you really eat them?
No matter!
Yuwen Wu also picked one up, broke it directly, and put it in his mouth.
After a few sips, Yuwen Hu's eyes lit up, "Less... Boy, this baked potato is really amazing, it's so delicious. ”
"Fellow, let's try it too!"
"This ......"
The two old men also picked up a potato each, still a little hesitant.
However, with Dongfang Yu and Yuwen Hu's leading examples, they also broke it open and took a bite.
"Old... Old woman, this thing ...... It's so... It's so delicious. ”
"What the little boy said is right, it's a godsend, it's a godsend?"
In addition to being excited, he took a few more bites. The taste of things does not have to be bad at all.
