The crowd was even more agitated, and many exclaimed:

"It's really Lord Xu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who is here in person! Well, what kind of good thing is this roasted sweet potato? I'll have to buy two catties later. ”

Xu Guangqi stepped down from the sedan chair and looked at the door of the potato chips, then looked at the stove of the roasted sweet potato, smiled with satisfaction, and said to Huang Han: "Very good, give this official a roasted sweet potato and a tael of potato chips." ”

Huang Han shouted: "When the Ministry of Rites Shangshu buys a roasted sweet potato and one or two potato chips, it will be a good deal!" ”

Li Sanniang, Gu Zhen, the four pro-soldiers, and all the staff all shouted in unison: "It's good to open!" ”

After a while, Li Sanniang weighed a roasted sweet potato, Gu Zhen brought a tael of potato chips in a straw paper box, and Huang Han handed it to Xu Guangqi and said loudly: "A total of nine yuan, thank you for your patronage." ”

Xu Guangqi had already prepared, and carefully counted nine Wanli Tongbao gold back coins and put them in the palm of Huang Han's spread hand, and then picked up a piece of potato chips in public and sent it to his mouth.

The scientist had never eaten this thing, and he didn't expect the potato chips to be so delicious, so he looked at Huang Han with wide eyes and exclaimed: "Huang Han, I didn't expect you to be able to make potatoes so delicious, the old man admires it so much!" ”

He said to a few entourages around him: "Don't look at it, let's try it, the potato chips are really wonderful, they taste great!" ”

Xu Guangqi's entourage thought that the head of the family intended to build momentum for Huang Han, and they all came up to make fun, and when they were about to eat a few slices, they shouted in an exaggerated tone: "It tastes great." ”

Who knew that after they really ate a few slices, the lines they conceived changed, "Mother! Why is this so delicious? ”

"It's delicious, it's delicious, this potato chip doesn't need such fanfare at all, and it is estimated that it will be in short supply soon."

"Yes! I'm going to buy two taels and take them back for my children to taste. ”

"Yes, yes, I also hurriedly weighed a few taels, and I estimated that I would have to queue up when it was late."

After Xu Guangqi came to the scene to make the first set of transactions, the onlookers could no longer hold back their curiosity and took out copper coins to try it, and soon the speed of the pot was far from catching up with the demand for purchases, and a long queue began to form in front of the stall.

At the same time, other stalls of fried potato chips and roasted sweet potatoes set up in Beijing are also doing brisk business, and the air in the capital is filled with the smell of potato chips.

Of course, it is impossible for Huang Han to do business in the stall all day long, and he is busy with a few businesses and then handed over to Li Sanniang to be in charge.

There is also a general flag junior soldier here to maintain order, and An Xiaole, the chief flag officer of the trainee cadet, is the person in charge of security, and Gu Rushan is also in this general banner. The child was happily helping his mother and sister sell potato chips.

Huang Han was going to call Chu Chu and take four guards to go around the inner city and the outer city to see the sales of those stalls, and then see if the arrangement needed to be adjusted.

At this time, she found that Chu Chu was gone, and the two personal maids who followed her looked nervously and looked far away.

What's the situation? Huang Han was a little confused.

It turned out that when Chu Chu was helping with business, a girl dressed as a quiet maid came to her, Chu Chu thought that people were going to buy potato chips, and he was sorry to let the little girl go to the queue.

The little girl is Zheng Xiu'e's personal maid called Rou'er, and she said politely: "Miss Chuchu, my young lady asked you to come over to see you." ”

"Greetings? Who is your young lady? ”

"My young lady's surname is Zheng."

Chu Chu was frightened and stammered: "Yes, yes......"

"Yes, the girl guessed right."

It turned out that the prospective lady wanted to see her, Chu Chu was nervous, and he didn't dare not go, and he didn't want to alarm Huang Han, so he lowered his head and followed Rou'er to a more luxurious carriage parked on the side of the road.

I only heard a delicate official voice from inside the carriage: "Is Chu Chu coming?" Come in and talk. ”

Chu Chu trembled and got into the carriage and immediately knelt down, and said, "Chu Chu gives my sister a salute." ”

"Well, it's pretty and generous, it's good, it's good, get up! Sit down next to my sister. ”

The ladies at the gate of the mansion had a lot of aura, and Chu Chu obediently sat beside Zheng Xiu'e, lowering her head and letting Zheng Xiu'e stare at her.

Zheng Xiu'e suddenly blushed and said leisurely: "How is he doing?" The court was so unfair to him, was he ever full of resentment? ”

Chu Chu said cautiously: "Lang Jun is very open-minded, he talks and laughs freely every day, and the slave family doesn't see that he is unhappy." ”

Zheng Xiu'e seemed relieved, nodded and said: "You have to serve him well these days, accompany him a lot, he has been working all day long to promote the planting of sweet potatoes and potatoes by resettled displaced people in Kaiping, and it is rare to come to Beijing to let him take a good rest." ”

"The slave family listens to my sister, I don't know if my sister has something to bring him?"

"Well, so let's do it, you tell him that I've been here today and recognize your sister."

After speaking, Zheng Xiu'e took off a jade jade bracelet from her wrist and pulled Chu Chu's arm to put it on her, and exclaimed: "My sister looks so good wearing this bracelet." ”

Of course, Chu Chu knew that this was a meeting gift from the eldest woman, and she did not shirk and thanked generously: "Thank you, sister." ”

"Go ahead, and remember to serve him well."

Chu Chu got out of the carriage, and watched the carriage gradually move away and was still in a dream, when Huang Han came over and asked, "What happened just now, who was in the carriage?" ”

Chu Chu said sweetly: "It was Sister Xiu'e who came to see the slave family, she had already recognized the slave family and gave the slave family a jade bracelet." ”

Yes? The story is so bizarre that Huang Han finds it incredible. The wife who didn't pass through the door found out that she had married another woman and actually smiled, the women of this era are too cute. Although Huang Han has never met Zheng Xiu'e, he already has too many good feelings in his heart.

……

Three days later, in the morning court, Xu Guangqi came prepared, and he openly invited his colleagues to eat potato chips and roasted sweet potatoes in the side hall where hundreds of officials were waiting for the upper court.

There are really officials who get up late and come to the morning hungry, and a small roasted sweet potato feels sweet and delicious.

A minister who ate a roasted sweet potato said: "Elder Xu Ge, is this what sweet potatoes are also called sweet potatoes?" It tastes good! ”

"Haha, this is the research result of the old man over the years, sweet potato, this thing is not only delicious, but the yield is five or six times that of wheat."

"Wow, doesn't having a sweet potato mean that I don't have to worry about food anymore?"

"As long as the promotion method leads to farmers being willing to plant, it is not a dream for Daming to have no hunger."

A certain person surnamed Liu said: "Lord Ministry, do you still have potato chips, this official wants to take a few taels home for his wife and children to taste." ”

Another official said: "Lord Liu, now the streets are full of discussion about roasted sweet potatoes and potato chips, and the stalls are also all over the street. ”
