Chapter 211: The Wonderful Unknown World (Part I)

The place for dinner was a bit rudimentary, after all, the hall had not yet been built, so it was just a tent set up in the place where the yard was booked, and then tables and chairs were set up to be used as a canteen.

This is still the treatment of the master, the kitchen and handymen are on standby in the back kitchen, and the extra part is only the part of the kitchen. The deed of sale has been signed, and the five people who are the handymen in the family are responsible for their meals.

It doesn't need to be too complicated tonight, after all, there is enough sweet potato porridge, it is definitely enough, and adding a small plate of pickles is actually enough. For those displaced people who have been reduced to the point of selling themselves, they can eat enough, and they really don't choose how good or bad the food is.

"The environment here is a bit ......" Cao Ren looked all the way over, and when he sat down, he couldn't help but say.

"It's good to be able to live at this stage!" Xun Yu wants to take care of Wang Yong's face problem, "Anyway, in two months, it will almost be completed." At that time, the lord will also come over, and by the way, come over to have a feast together, just right! ”

"I don't know how it tastes, and I don't know how it tastes." Cao Ren obviously regarded hot pot as a kind of food, mainly because earlier, Wang Yong took out the pot helmet.

"It's not another pasta, is it? Since it is linked to fire, it is estimated that chili peppers will be used...... I can't imagine it! In Xun Yu's head, a piece of bread stained with spicy sauce appeared at this moment, and then he threw this idea out of his mind fiercely.

Thinking that at the beginning, she was reluctant to eat the pot helmet, and she naturally didn't want to eat such a cake. At the same time, it is also clear that the so-called hot pot should not be so simple.

"It's time to eat!" Wang Yong happened to come over and brought a pot of soup, which was corn rib soup!

"So, what exactly is hot pot?" Cao Ren took the opportunity to ask.

"Shouldn't you be asking what kind of soup this pot is?" Wang Yong was choked, and he almost wanted to introduce this pot of soup.

"Compared to this pot of soup, what is better for me is what is hot pot, after all, a dinner party can't just be a dish, right?" Cao Ren directly said what she was thinking.

"A dish? Of course, it can't be a dish, hot pot is a way to eat, but it definitely doesn't refer to a certain kind of food! Wang Yong shook his head, but he didn't want to laugh at it, after all, he was an ancient person who had never seen hot pot.

"Cone bucket?" Xun Yu thought for a moment and said a word.

"Similar, slightly different shape!" Wang Yong also asked Wen Ming a little, since the Han Dynasty, there was a prototype similar to hot pot, that is, something called a cone bucket, but it is not so much a hot pot as a container used to maintain the temperature of the dish.

In the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", there is a record of a utensil called 'Wushu Kettle', which should be regarded as a relatively early fire boiler. It can be seen that the food of hot pot actually had a prototype in the Han Dynasty, but it has not yet been perfected.

"You have to cook it yourself?" Cao Ren probably guessed it.

"If you want to make a pot, you really have to do it yourself, but in the case of ordinary hot pot, you can burn whatever you want to eat." Wang Yong explained a little. There are many ways to eat hot pot, from Chinese to Japanese. However, since there are already chili peppers, mandarin duck hot pot is obviously a good choice.

"How does it sound like there are so many different kinds of this thing?" Cao Ren asked in surprise.

"So stay tuned!" Wang Yong didn't plan to continue this topic, "The front soup is pork rib corn soup, this corn belongs to sweet corn, and the sweetness is relatively heavy, in fact, when you just pick it, you can eat it directly as a fruit!" ”

This is not a lie, for the sake of health, Wang Yong specially bought this fruit corn and cooked it once a week to eat. When you're lazy, eat it raw. Otherwise, corn juice is eaten, and generally speaking, one day a week will be eaten for dinner to reduce the fat in the body.

Yes, since he found out that he became an anchor, his weight suddenly skyrocketed by twenty pounds......

"Carrots, ribs, so that's the corn? What about the yield? Xun Yu looked at the materials in the soup pot, and then looked at Wang Yong and asked.

"The maximum local yield seems to be about 36 stone per mu, but considering the north and other factors, it is not a problem to have 10 stones!" Wang Yong replied.

"Ten stones!?" When everyone heard this, they immediately exclaimed, as for Wang Yong's so-called thirty-six stones, they were directly ignored. You must know that in these years, in terms of corn, the yield per mu of fertile land is three stones, and the lower field is about one stone. The yield per mu in the south is about 2.77 stones, and the two seasons a year are only less than six stones.

The output of ten stones in one breath is simply a fantasy for Xun Yu and others.

"If it weren't at that level, do you think the House of Everything would be so excited?" Wang Yong asked rhetorically. Indeed, if it weren't for such a large output, the other party would not have paid so much attention to him, and even promoted him to a second-level member.

"With this crop, there will be no more famine among the people of the world!" Hua Tuo said with great relief.

"How it tastes, I have to try it!" Relatively speaking, Xun Yu wants to know how it tastes. Especially when I heard it just now, Wang Yong called it 'sweet corn'!

"Both!" Wang Yong scooped a bowl for each of them, and then handed it over directly.

"It smells very sweet......," Xun Yu sniffed, then scooped a spoonful and put it in his mouth, the soup was sweet, and the fat and salt taste produced by the pork ribs and salt further brought out its sweetness.

The sweetness of carrots cannot be ignored, but the sweetness of corn is a different feeling. Xun Yu scooped up a piece of corn, put it in his mouth and bit it, maybe it was too hard, but he bit the core inside, and he only felt that his teeth hurt.

"Be careful, all you can eat is the corn kernels on the outside, you can't eat the corn cobs on the inside! However, after drying, it can be used as firewood! Wang Yong reminded.

"This should have been said earlier......" Xun Yu suddenly pursed his lips, and then spoke again. This time, I didn't dare to take such a big mouth, but I just bit on the periphery. The corn kernels were cracked by the bite of the teeth, and the corn juice splashed out, and the mouth was sweet.

"It's so sweet, it tastes good, is that what corn tastes like?" Xun Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, obviously liking the taste.

"It's very unique, and it's very delicious!" Cao Ren also began to taste it, "This soup is really good as an appetizer, it is very comfortable to drink, the key is that the whole stomach has completely woken up." ”

"In that case, then the side dishes can come up!" When Wang Yong heard this, he immediately commanded.

In a short time, the handyman brought up a pot of potatoes, and there seemed to be something sticky in the cracked opening.

"What a fragrant smell, what is this?" Cao Ren looked at the potatoes, she swore she had never seen this kind of ingredient before, so it should be a high-yield crop.

"Potatoes, also called potatoes. And now it is served as a side dish, butter potatoes! Wang Yong said proudly, he bought some butter at that time, but he didn't expect to use it.
