But at the same time as thanking, he also asked for a favor, that is, in order to cultivate potatoes, he needs to live in Yangjiazhuang, and he may not be able to go to court without major things.

In this regard, Yingzong was in a good mood, so he naturally got it right one by one. It's just a dismissal from the fifth grade, and it's really not necessary to go to the court. As for living outside the Jingshi, even if he likes it, he can go.

This is also Yang Chendong's preparation for the future layout, after getting the holy decree, others will not be able to urge him to stay in the Jingshi, so that there will be major autonomy in security, to put it bluntly, there will be more guarantees.

The carp jumped over the dragon gate, Yang Chendong almost completed what others could not complete for many years in an instant, and when he stood up, there were bursts of congratulations around him.

He also hugged his fists to express his gratitude to his colleagues, and then laughed and said: "Now that everyone is here, you will open your stomach and taste the deliciousness of potatoes. ”

"Okay." Everyone is very happy to have such a yield of potatoes, which is a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and it has nothing to do with anyone's interests, so they are naturally happy together. But there are also some shrewd officials who are thinking about how to make friends with Yang Chendong, and then get more seeds to return to their manors to cultivate, so that they don't have to think about using money to buy food in the future.

The officials each played a small ninety-nine, and Wang Zuo, the head of the household department, had long been insightful, and proposed to the emperor one step ahead of the other that the seeds should be reasonably distributed, otherwise once this thing spreads outside the territory, I am afraid that the enemy will grow stronger, thus threatening the safety of the Ming Dynasty.

This is the old man seeking the country. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the eight Jin merchants in Shanxi had transported a large number of ordnance and grain to Liaodong and sold them to Jiannu, which made them grow stronger and stronger, and finally attracted a huge amount of military capital to be spent next year, resulting in an empty treasury and having to take food from the people, which led to more and more peasant uprisings, thus disintegrating the Ming Dynasty from within and creating an opportunity for Jiannu to enter the Ming Dynasty.

Now that potatoes have such a high yield, if the seeds are spread, once they get it, they can summon more soldiers with enough food, so that the bigger they are, the more threatening they will naturally increase day by day.

Although Yingzong was young and had little experience, he still knew the importance of potatoes, so he immediately looked at Wang Zuo and asked, "What can Wang Aiqing do?" ”

"Your Majesty, there is no way to completely eradicate it. I just asked my lord Ximayang that the cultivation of potatoes is very convenient, and you only need to wait for the potatoes to mature and raise germs, and you can plant them, and you can get a lot of fruits in the next year. Unless all the potatoes don't flow out, it will inevitably be harvested by others. And such a good thing should also be planted throughout the country, only when it is widely used, can more people benefit. Wang Zuo shook his head, there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days in the world, and even if it is prevention, you must be able to prevent it first.

"Huh?" originally thought that Wang Zuo had said so much that there was a good way. But it sounded like there was really no way to solve it, and he couldn't help but ask with an ugly face, "Even so, what did Wang Aiqing say?" ”

Wang Zuo hesitated, he knew that what he said next might offend some people, but thinking of the eternal prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, it seemed that he could only offend. Then he said: "Your Majesty, the minister would like to ask you to make a decree that the envoys of any country must check whether they are carrying potatoes when they leave the border, and if they are discovered, all the envoys will withhold them and take them for the crime of conspiracy." But if anyone is found to have sold potatoes out of the country to my people, he will be severely fined. Nine tribes. ”

When it came to the Zhulian Nine Clans, Wang Zuo's heart also jumped, he knew that this was too ruthless, and the punishment was too heavy. However, considering the impact of this object, he still thinks that such a punishment is not excessive. A person who has no one in his eyes who is not even a country can be called a human being, so it is impossible to punish him too much.

Wang Zuo was shocked when he said it, and Yingzong's eyes suddenly widened a lot when he heard it. But it was only an instant recovery. Da Ming is the Da Ming of the Zhu family, if this country is broken, maybe the official can continue to be an official after defecting, but he really can't be the emperor anyway. Therefore, once the potatoes are circulated, the biggest loss is yourself. What else could he not be ruthless about?

"Okay, I know, after I return to the palace, I will draw up a decree and summon the world." Yingzong Zhu Qizhen made a decision very decisively.

"Your Majesty." After Wang Zuo finished reporting this matter, he immediately felt that his body was loosened, and most of the strength in his whole body seemed to be drawn out at this moment.

"Potato roasted pork ribs!" With Yang Chendong's shout, the fragrance in the cauldron suddenly overflowed, and it spread for three miles, attracting the officials who had just finished harvesting the potatoes to surround them one by one like gluttonous insects.

Wash the ribs and potatoes. Put the pork ribs into the pot, put the cooking wine, then turn on high heat and cook, remove the cooked pork ribs and drain them for later use. Put oil, peppercorns, etc. in the pot, stir-fry the pork ribs, and add light soy sauce and other colors to taste. Then pour it into the pot and press it, then put the potatoes and stir-fry, and finally put the monosodium glutamate out of the pot.

"Hot and sour onion shredded potatoes are ready!"

Shred potatoes and soak them in water, peel and shred onions, wash and shred green and red peppers; Stir-fry chives with oil, ginger, garlic and dried chilies; Pour in the shredded potatoes and stir-fry for a while, add a little water, then pour in the shredded onion and stir-fry evenly; Add soy sauce, sugar, and salt and stir-fry evenly. Pour in balsamic vinegar and stir-fry evenly, then add sesame oil and stir-fry to make a dish.

After the two potato dishes are baked, there are also chopped pepper potato chips, dry potato strips, hot and sour shredded potatoes, eggplant stewed potatoes, braised potato chicken nuggets, rice and potato cakes, spicy dry pot potato chips, honey (juice) potatoes, scallion potato roast, charred crispy potatoes, minced potatoes with meat foam and so on.

In addition, the whole potato can be steamed and eaten to satisfy hunger, and even for many first-time potato tasters, it is a delicious taste.

A potato actually made more than a dozen or twenty kinds of dishes, which provoked everyone to feast and praise loudly. In addition, the chef Yi Qiuer's craftsmanship was originally good, and the MSG made by Yang Chendong (only in Jianning, not in Jingshi) and other ingredients, which made everyone eat with a mouth full of oil.

Even Yingzong ate two bowls of rice and a dry steamed potato on the dish, if it weren't for Wang Zhen, who was waiting on the side, to remind him, I am afraid that he would still be able to eat a bowl. After eating so much, Yingzong also said with a happy expression: "I have some expectations for when the restaurant opened by Yang Aiqing will open. ”

"Back to the emperor, it's almost over, it should be almost the same in a month, and the emperor will have time to guide his opinions." Yang Chendong laughed, he didn't grab potatoes like the ministers, for him, this thing has lost its earliest freshness after eating it for decades. Therefore, he has been playing the role of a waiter, looking at which plate is empty on the open-air table, and instructing people to serve the food, but he is also very busy.

Answering Yingzong's words is not perfunctory, the restaurant had already let Yang Hai choose a good position before he came, and even the new manager was found, it was his cousin Yang Fu.

When Yang Fu was in Jianning Mansion, he cooperated with Yang Chendong very happily and made a lot of money. Seeing that the sixth young master was going to Jingshi, he also moved his mind and discussed with him. Yang Chendong was thinking about who was the most suitable person to run the restaurant, and when he saw Yang Fu jump out, he immediately agreed and hired Yang Fu to manage it with one percent of the money.

Yang Fu knew that Jingshi was no better than Jianning, and the complexity of the personnel relations there was far beyond the understanding of a businessman like him. With the banner of the sixth cousin, it will be much easier to do some things. There are a lot of cadres in Yicheng, so he accepted the consent immediately and came to Jingshi with the drawings drawn by Yang Chendong.

It was only when he came to Jingshi and saw the design drawings that Yang Fu knew how generous his sixth cousin was, just the initial investment reached as much as 50,000 taels, and the reimbursement for the decoration alone was 100,000 taels, what is this to build? Can't you build a small palace?

Of course, Yang Fu didn't understand a little, but as he entered the restaurant one by one with the things he needed, he realized how lonely he was before, and only then did he know how much his shares were worth.

The so-called no comparison, no harm, at this time he knew that his Sihai Restaurant in Jianning Mansion was really as simple as a child's house.

Let's not mention the restaurant, just talking about the ground, Yingzong listened to Yang Chendong's invitation, and thought that people had made such a great achievement, and this small request should be satisfied, so he immediately nodded and said: "Okay, if I have time at that time, I will go and see it." ”

As soon as he said this sentence, the other ministers naturally knew it. Don't go to the trouble of the Yang family restaurant in the future, if you don't get it right, you will offend the emperor.

Yang Chendong was still busy, and beckoned everyone to take some of the potatoes that had been dug up with them when they left, and go back to taste them for their families, which naturally received the applause of all the ministers.

Yingzong finished eating first, and was about to go back, so he called Yang Chendong and said, "Yang Aiqing, I will leave a Jinyi Wei and Dongchang here to help you guard the potatoes that have not yet been harvested." ”

"Your Majesty." Yang Chendong naturally knew that even if the potatoes were exposed, it would not be his own business, so he had already made psychological preparations in this regard.

"Good." Very satisfied with Yang Chendong's attitude, Yingzong said again, "Regarding the question of how many potato seeds to leave and how to distribute them, I will leave Mr. You to discuss together." By the way, what's the name of your restaurant? ”

"If you go back to the emperor, the Immortal Residence!" When Yang Chendong answered this question, he was confident.
