Chapter 192: Potatoes and Sweet Potatoes

On the ninth day of August in the ninth year of Wude (September 4, 626), Li Yuan abdicated and became the emperor, and Zen was located in Li Shimin. Li Shimin ascended the throne as emperor and changed his view to Zhenguan the following year. The Tang Empire officially entered the Zhenguan era.

After participating in Li Er's grand enthronement ceremony, Yun Hao went back to Lintong with his head. Now as long as he doesn't appear in Chang'an, he will definitely not appear. What I want to do most is to make people forget about this new Duke of Chu. Although Li Er swore a curse in the Wude Palace, he would never forget to share wealth with Yun Hao.

Yun Hao's head automatically filtered these unnutritious words, who believes in this kind of fart in the world in the rich and rich, who will die. It's impossible to divide the world, but it's very possible to split your head.

I believe that Li Er can't do anything, because of Yun Hao's leadership. In the change of Xuanwu Gate, the generals of the original women's army were greatly rewarded. Li Wenzhong, Qiu Shili, Sheng Yanshi and others all became the commanders of the Weizhen side. The general of Zuo Wuwei, the most elite firearms unit in the Tang Dynasty, is Sheng Yanshi. Even Lao Cheng didn't fight for this position.

Now these guys are all marquises, living in eight open teeth and building mansions. In Li Er's heart, he was actually very dissatisfied with this. The country's armed forces cannot be too much in the hands of a series of military groups. He started by rebelling against the army, how could he not know the danger here.

Yun Hao's concession made Li Er both happy and helpless. Happily, Yun Hao knew how to advance and retreat, because at this time he couldn't do anything to Yun Hao. Helplessly, he hoped that Yun Hao would be keen on power. In this way, flaws will be exposed, and once you have a mind that should not be raised, you will be able to have a reason to completely pull out this force in the army.

Anyway, now he has become an emperor. What Li Er wants to do most is to dominate the world. Because, Luo Yi is the opposite.

Luo Yi, who was in Hebei, rebelled under the banner of avenging Li Jiancheng, and this guy not only rebelled himself. He actually colluded with the Goryeo Turks, and now the Goryeo and Turkic coalition forces are heading south. Zhuozhou, including half of Hebei, is already the world of rebels. This countercurrent is spreading to Shandong, and if Hebei and Shandong fall, another regime will definitely emerge on the land of China.

Yun Hao didn't know why Luo Yi did such a thing, but it was too late to say anything. The sleek thorn Shi Yuan Dake was shaved into a bald scoop and put back. Brought a message to Li Er and said that he wanted to divide the world with Li Er in Tongguan as the boundary.

"His grandmother's, thinking about two days of comfort. Who would have thought that Luoyang would suddenly become a battlefield. Or do you kid know how to enjoy happiness and hide in Lintong. Whoever enjoys the blessings has done iniquity, heh! What are you doing all the time? Chat with the old man, young people nowadays don't know how to respect the elderly. Li Shentong sat in the garden, eating chilled grapes and shouting.

"What is this?" Li Shentong saw Yun Hao's focused appearance, stood up and walked to Yun Hao's side and said. In front of him, it was a crop that he had never seen before. Born with green little horns, it looks very cute.

"It's called chili, and it's very rare. If you get it back in Goryeo, it will mature in another month or two. When the time comes, let's have a meal of boiled fish. That's called delicious, and there will be a pot of spicy hot pot in winter. My God, I don't change it for a god. Yun Hao admired the chili pepper while thinking about the taste of spicy hot pot. I haven't tasted it in years, and now I drool when I think about it.

"When is it, still thinking about eating!" Li Shentong slapped Yun Hao's head, the nascent Tang Empire encountered an unprecedented crisis, and this kid was still thinking about eating. Li Shentong endured and endured, but he didn't make up for the second slap. After all, Yun Hao is not a little kid who is kicked around by himself now. He is now the youngest prince of the Tang Dynasty, and there is absolutely no such thing.

"You always put your heart in your stomach, and the eighteenth road of the late Sui Dynasty was against the king and thirty-six puffs of smoke. Where are you now? I'll tell you, the smarter ones are officials in the court. Luo Yi's kind of idiots are buried in the soil. Now that it's dug up, the bones can beat the drum.

His Majesty the current Emperor is the King of Qin who has fought a hundred battles in the world. With more than 100 people, he dared to rush into the army of more than 100,000 people. It's just tired of rebelling against him. You didn't look at it, those old generals of the Qin Palace's mansion are gearing up one by one. Except, of course, Uncle Qin.

There is no future in rebellion these years, so we can just stay at home and enjoy happiness. You've arrived, and you've got something good. It's autumn soon, and it's time to catch autumn fat. Let's eat cakes tonight, and the kid will give you a plate of fried shredded potatoes. Just in time you haven't eaten! ”

"Potatoes? What's that? Li Shentong thought about it for a long time, but he didn't figure out what a potato was.

"It was also brought back from Goryeo, a group of savages from the distant country of the sun god. This thing is the most prolific, and it doesn't pick the ground. It is conservatively estimated that the yield per mu will not be less than 30 stones. With this thing, Datang will no longer have to worry about knots. On top of that, this thing can be stored in the cellar for a year. Even in a cold place like Liaodong, Hebei, you can grow it! Yun Hao said excitedly.

As soon as he returned to Chang'an, he ordered people to plant potatoes in the soil. Now it's harvest season, and when it came out yesterday, there was a potato the size of a sheep's head. provoked the whole family to come out to see the rarity!

"This is the potato?" Li Shentong asked as he looked at the pot that kept wafting out a strong fragrance.

The potatoes in the casserole are already stewed golden brown, and the beef is stewed crispy, exuding an enticing aroma. Grab a handful of wild onions and throw them in, and the fragrance emitted after stirring a few times, even immortals can't sit still, let alone Li Shentong.

Scooped a spoonful and handed it to Li Shentong, took another spoon and dug up a big spoon. The potatoes melt in the mouth and are soft and rosin, and they are soaked in beef broth, which is really delicious. Li Shentong was cold, and he ate one bite at a time, I don't know what he tasted like, anyway, the frequency of attacking is getting faster and faster.

Li Shentong took out a pot of wine as if by magic, took a sip on the spout and handed it to Yun Hao, Yun Hao poured a big sip, grape brewing, sweet and sour, far from those that can be compared to the pot water.

"Good things, it is indeed a good grain, and full, and anti-hunger, the yield is extremely high, and do not pick the land, dry land can be planted, put in the cellar can be stored for a year, rare is extremely delicious, I Datang did get a big auspicious, congratulations." Li Shentong narrowed his eyes and nodded, now he was very much looking forward to what kind of spicy hot pot.

What can make Chang'an's famous gourmets swallow saliva must be delicious.

"This kind of auspiciousness must be reported to the imperial court. If this thing is popularized in my Datang, it will definitely be a good thing for the benefit of future generations. "Li Shentong is the Li family in the end, and with such a good new thing, you have to think about the interests of the Li family.

The common people in these years are actually the best people in the world, as long as the government can let them have enough to eat. They can live humbly, the princes of the Eighteen Roads have thirty-six puffs of smoke and dust, which one did not start by the famine at the end of the Sui Dynasty. From the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Li family saw an unbreakable truth, as long as the people were fed, the ghosts were willing to rebel.

A rebellion without the participation of the people is called a rebellion. For example, Luo Yi this time!

"Forget it! Don't keep thinking about the court, if it's not a brat. Do you dare to grow this crop? I'm talking about this thing for fifty stone now, and those sycophants can lift the kid up to the sky. But behind the scenes, if you don't spit on the kid, even if you burn high incense. Perhaps, the rumors that the kid wants to be an official and want to go crazy can be spread.

Last time, there were rumors that the kid wanted to be a scholar, so the queen mother came to Tong to interrogate the boy in person. This time, don't do such a stupid thing again. Let's just plant it secretly, and it's just a matter of giving His Majesty some seeds. When the others saw the harvest in the field, they wept and cried out for it. This is much better than our catch-up, there is an old saying that the best, catch-up is not a deal. ”

"Just you kid monkey spirit! Hey! It's not okay to have such a good thing at a cheap price. Li Shentong thought deeply and thought of this output. Thinking of the scene of the court nobles queuing up to come to the house to beg for potatoes, my heart immediately blossomed. When the time comes, only to those close to you. Those guys who are the same as those people before and after, we won't give it to him.

Some things are like that, and if you plant them for him, he will be suspicious and even secretly dispose of the potatoes. People are wrong for a while, and people are wrong for a year. In this era when there is no surplus food for the family, no one can afford to have no output in the field for a year. But when you see the harvest, it's different, and the first person to ask for it must be Xungui.

When Xungui planted potatoes on a large scale and harvested full of pits and grains. The people will go to seek honor, and this new grain will be spread in the land of Guanzhong in less than three years. In this way, it is far more effective than the court coming to the door to beg the people to plant.

For dinner, I ate spring cakes, and the spring cakes baked by the wheat in Guanzhong are strong. The chef's knife skills are very good, and the shredded potatoes are finely chopped. Stir-fry the green onions, add a few pieces of meat and stir-fry, then come out of the pot. Roll it in the cake, and then it's a word. Li Shentong ate three volumes in one go, and wanted to have another volume.

"Slow down, there's good stuff." Yun Hao stretched out his hand to stop it, and Li Shentong saw that Yun Baobao had only eaten two rolls, so he stopped eating. Instead, he looked straight at the door, as if there was something delicious. Immediately put down his chopsticks and looked at the door with Yun Baobao.

Finally, the maid came in with a plate of things, as if they had been fried. It was fried golden brown, and there was a plate of sugar on the side of the plate. High-grade white sugar from Lingnan is very difficult to get in Chang'an.

Seeing the dishes served, Yun Baobao immediately smiled. The nurse waited for Yun Hao and Li Shentong to move the chopsticks, and then took a piece dipped in sugar and put it into Yun Baobao's bowl. Yun Baobao immediately laughed so much that his teeth were gone, and he immediately stuffed it into his small mouth with a cheer.

"Huh! This thing is not a potato! Li Shentong thought it was another way to eat potatoes, and he felt bored. When I chewed it in my mouth, I found that this thing was crispy and soft, and it tasted smooth and sweet, and it was not a potato at all.

"Of course it's not potatoes, it's called sweet potatoes. The yield is about the same as that of potatoes, but this thing is better for cooking. If you eat it as food, people will have stomach acid if they eat too much. Yun Hao said while eating fried sweet potatoes dipped in sugar.

"Sweet potato......! It's about ...... potato yield! Li Shentong's head was buzzing and buzzing, I didn't expect there to be such good things in the world. I sandwiched a sweet potato with chopsticks, dipped it in sugar, and tasted it carefully. The sweet taste made him close his eyes happily!
