Chapter 208: It's so delicious
Lu Bu took Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia, Zhen Yi, Zhen Mi and Huang Yueying and other girls to guide them on the spot.
Seeing that these farmers had mastered the harvesting skills, Lu Bu directly asked his soldiers to fetch three cauldrons and bought some sweet potatoes, peanuts and corn on the spot.
Then he ordered his soldiers to wash in public, add water to three large pots, and cook peanuts and corn separately in the pots.
As for the sweet potato, it is cut into small pieces and put into it, otherwise it is difficult to cook, so it is boiled directly.
This, this, just boil it in water? Can this be delicious?
They all saw that some salt was put in the pot where the peanuts were boiled, and as for the sweet potatoes and corn, they didn't even put salt, so they couldn't taste good just by looking at it?
Xun Yu, Xun You, and Guo Jia all had doubts about this practice, and for the first time, they also had doubts about new crops.
As for the peasants, they couldn't believe that it was delicious.
……
Half an hour passed, and the water in the pot gurgled and boiled, and the fragrance began to fill the air.
"It's so fragrant, it's so fragrant!"
"This is the new food we grow?"
"So fragrant? It's sure to be delicious! ”
"It's also very easy to make, just boil it in water, add a little salt at most!"
"yes, it's great, you look at the harvest, especially the sweet potato, it's so productive!"
After boiling for a while, Lu Bu directly ordered the soldiers to put out the fire, take the boiled sweet potatoes, peanuts and corn out of the boiling water, and pass them through the cold water.
Then the rice was served in a clay bowl and served to Lu Bu to taste.
Lu Bu smiled slightly, and said to Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia and others: "Come, how about you come and taste this taste?" ”
Xun Yu, Xun You, and Guo Jia all said: "The lord pleases first." ”
The adults here are humble, and the children can't help it, Huang Yueying can't wait to grab a peanut and put it in her mouth and chew it.
The next moment, Huang Yueying couldn't help but spit out the peanuts in her mouth, and said with tears in her eyes: "Brother Lu, it's so unpalatable!" ”
Xun Yu, Xun You, and Guo Jia couldn't help but be taken aback, is it really so unpalatable?
If this is the case, then the new crops are not only useless, but harmful!
It will greatly discourage the enthusiasm of the people, and even the image of Taishou in the minds of these people will be discounted.
Then they saw Lu Bu crying and laughing and said, "This peanut is not eaten like this, you need to peel off the outer shell!" ”
After speaking, Lu Bu peeled off a peanut with his own hands, put the peanut in it into Huang Yueying's mouth and said, "Now you are tasting it?" ”
Huang Yueying chewed carefully, and soon her eyes began to glow, swallowed it in two bites, grabbed the peanuts and ate them.
Well, I can't even bother to say that it's delicious, but just look at her appearance and know that it must be delicious.
Xun Yu and Xun Yu Guo Jia also tasted it, and soon the three of them nodded again and again, saying that it was delicious.
After a while, Lu Bu grabbed Huang Yueying and Zhen Mi and said to them: "If you eat too many peanuts, you will be thirsty, you can taste this again!" ”
After speaking, Lu Bu stuffed a corn into each of them.
After the two of them took a bite of corn, their eyes couldn't help but brighten.
Oh my God, it's delicious! This corn is even better than peanuts! It's incredible!
After a while, Lu Bu let them taste the sweet potatoes again, which were also delicious!
I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect that these three new crops are so delicious!
These three new crops are very high-yielding, and they are so delicious, and the people are blessed!
After Huang Yueying and Zhen Mi each ate a small piece of sweet potato, Lu Bu didn't let them eat it.
This thing is delicious, but if you eat too much, you will be bloated, and adults are better, and children can eat too much.
Zhen Yi tasted these three delicious new crops, and suddenly his mind moved.
I couldn't help but smile and said to Lu Bu: "Fengxian, these sweet potatoes, corn and peanuts are really delicious, if we transport them to Luoyang City to sell, we can definitely sell them at a good price!" ”
Lu Bu smiled and said: "At least not this year, next year I will promote these three crops in the entire Wu County and Huiji County, and then talk about the others after all of them are promoted." ”
These three new crops, Lu Bu needs to ensure that the entire Dongwu is thoroughly promoted before he will consider the matter of promoting them to the outside world.
Even if you want to promote it externally, you have to sell it at a high price.
Hearing Lu Bu say this, Zhen Yi had no choice but to give up, but he secretly screamed in his heart that it was a pity.
The three of them ate for a while, and soon they were full.
There was still a lot left outside, so Lu Bu asked his soldiers to take it for themselves, and if they couldn't eat, they distributed it to the people at the scene.
At this time, Huang Yueying looked at Lu Bu with blank eyes and asked, "Brother Lu, can Yueying take some back for her father to eat?" ”
Lu Bu hurriedly said: "Okay, of course it's good, Yueying is careful!" Come, leave some for Yueying first, and divide the rest. ”
……
The soldiers distributed sweet potatoes, corn and peanuts to the nearby people, who were embarrassed but took them at their insistence.
After tasting it, I nodded again and again, I really didn't expect that these three new crops were so delicious!
This is still in the case of boiling with water.
In fact, what they don't know is that boiling it in water is almost the best time to eat it......
When it's dry, it's not as tasty.
Lu Bu began to send soldiers to buy sweet potatoes on the spot.
Sweet potatoes must be stored fresh and stored in the cellar, and when they are buried in a warm place in the spring of next year, many sweet potato seedlings will be produced, and these sweet potato seedlings will be planted when planting.
The purchase price is the original price, once 350 dollars.
Not only is the price much higher than that of rice, but the yield per mu is not known to be much higher than that of sweet potato, looking at this way, the yield per mu of sweet potato is at least more than double that of rice, or even more.
If calculated in this way, planting one acre of sweet potatoes is enough to catch up with the rice of the three orders!
This, this, is really making a lot of money!
Many farmers have summed up that if they can still have such a high income next year, they will be able to pay off the mortgage on their houses in at most next year!
Once the loan is paid off, this little day is beautiful just thinking about it!
Then Lu Bu quickly explained some precautions to these people.
For example, sweet potatoes can be boiled and eaten, but not too much, as eating too much will cause stomach acid.
Eating too many peanuts will cause bloating and thirst.
And the way to eat sweet potatoes is not only to boil and eat, but also to cut them into thin slices and dry them for a year.
When you eat it, you can crush it and spread pancakes, or you can cook porridge and drink it, which is very delicious.
……
Xun Yu, Xun You and Guo Jia, seeing the scene of hundreds of people cheering in front of them, were speechless for a long time.
In the entire Ming Dynasty, probably only the people here will be so happy, right?
To be able to follow such a wise lord is their luck, the blessing of the people, and the hope of the Han Dynasty!
