Chapter 308: The Taste of French Fries

"Thirty-two stones. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Pang Yukun's excited heart almost jumped out.

"That's right, it's thirty-two stones, it's true." Kui Wu counted the numbers again.

"Thirty-two stones, thirty-two stones!" Pang Yukun pretended to be like a madman, and couldn't help but read: "The people can't produce two stones of grain per acre of land, one acre of potatoes is worth sixteen acres of rice, a family of three cultivates 100 acres, and the harvest is only 200 stones, if you plant potatoes, you can get 3,200 stones, and this family can afford to have ten children." ”

Kui Wu looked at Pang Yukun, who was crazy, and swallowed his saliva, then looked at Xiao Ming, who had a calm face, and said carefully: "Your Highness, what is wrong with Pang Changshi." ”

"I'm crazy with joy." Xiao Ming laughed.

"There are crazy people here, and there are crazy people who are happy?" Kui Wu shook his head while holding the account book.

Xiao Ming patted Kui Wu on the shoulder at this time, "You did a good job, from today onwards, the status of this slave will be lifted, and as for the household registration, let the government handle it for you." ”

Kui Wu was stunned for a moment, and a wave of ecstasy surged into his heart, and like Pang Yukun, he couldn't stop laughing excitedly, and couldn't help shouting: "I'm not a slave anymore, I'm not a slave anymore." ”

The slaves were speechless, and then another, and then another.

Looking at the excited two, Xiao Ming smiled happily, the next step should be for the government to encourage the people to have more children, this year's population is combat effectiveness.

In the evening, Xiao Ming listened to Pang Yukun's laughter all the way back to the city, and the high yield of potatoes completely conquered this long history.

After parting in Qingzhou City, Xiao Ming returned to the palace with a small bag of potatoes on his horse, and the palace dining room was preparing to eat in the evening.

"Your Highness, what is this bag?"

Fei Yue'er, who was familiar with the environment in the yard, walked towards Xiao Ming accompanied by Xiaohuan.

Xiao Ming's mood is particularly happy today, this potato is not only a matter of eating, but also another business growth point in Qingzhou, if these potatoes are sold all over the country, it will be another profiteering point.

"This is a potato, princess, today this king will let you see the magic of Qingzhou again."

After that, Xiao Ming ordered someone to go to the dining room to get a briquette stove and an iron pot, and prepare a cutting board and kitchen knife, and then he opened a stand in the courtyard to prepare to make a modern delicacy.

"Your Highness, what are you doing here?" Xiao Ming's movements attracted both aster and pothos, all of them with a look of surprise on their faces, and Fei Yue'er couldn't help but ask.

Xiao Ming said with a smile: "Don't ask now, I'll understand when you eat later." ”

Under the gaze of everyone, Xiao Ming began to shred the potatoes, then blanched the shredded potatoes in hot water, and then asked the servants to bring saltpeter and a large basin of water.

Saltpeter was put into the water, and the white mist began to appear in the basin, and the water gradually froze, at this time, Xiao Ming put the bowl containing shredded potatoes in the middle of the water, and covered it with a layer of cotton cloth on it.

This saltpeter ice-making method has long been a secret in Dayu Kingdom, and the magnates of Dayu Kingdom will also use saltpeter to make ice in summer to relieve the heat, so Xiao Ming took out this trick and everyone was not surprised.

Frozen in ice water for a while, waiting for the shredded potatoes to freeze, then Xiao Ming took out the shredded potatoes, put them in a boiling oil pot, sprinkled them with salt, and fished them out when they were cooked.

The golden fries exuded an enticing aroma on the plate, and the onlookers immediately swallowed.

"Your Highness, what the hell is this?" Fei Yue'er blinked wide-eyed.

"Fries." Xiao Ming picked up a piece of French fries and sent it to Fei Yue'er's mouth, and such an intimate action made Fei Yue'er blush.

But after all, this is the palace, they are all their own people, Fei Yue'er still took a bite, the golden fries are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the aroma of fried is fragrant, which makes people full of fragrance.

Just took a bite of Fei Yue'er and was conquered by the "fries", she ate the fries in one bite, and she was still unsatisfied.

At this time, Xiao Ming began to explain the origin of potatoes and how to grow and eat potatoes, and only then did everyone understand.

"Thirty-two stones per mu is still so delicious." Fei Yue'er was full of poetry and books, so she naturally knew what this meant, and she said: "Your Highness, the benefits of this potato are enough to make the people of Liuzhou rich. ”

"Yes, this king also thinks so, when he came back, this king and Pang Yukun discussed, and in the past two days, potatoes will be promoted, and let the people of the six states plant at least one acre of potatoes per household, even if they can't eat it, they can be taken out and sold." Xiao Ming was triumphant.

Fei Yue'er nodded, looking at Xiao Ming, there was a trace of admiration in her heart, this man is not only respected by status, but the most important thing is that all kinds of magical skills make her sigh to herself.

Just like when I was in Chang'an, the more I learned about Qingzhou, the more I yearned for this place.

With a hint of a smile on the corner of her mouth, Fei Yue'er's heart suddenly let go, what more could she ask for by such a man's side?

"It's delicious." Fei Yue'er ate another french fry, and she beckoned to Aster and Pothos, "You all come and taste Your Highness's craftsmanship." ”

Pothos loves to eat the most, saliva has long been swirling in her mouth, she timidly picked up a french fries and ate it, her eyes were round, Aster was not far behind, and Xiaohuan also stretched out her little hand.

Under the attack of the five people, a plate of French fries was quickly wiped out, and then the four of them looked at Xiao Ming pleadingly.

In desperation, Xiao Ming had to fry another pot of fries, but they didn't eat much for dinner that night, and they all ate fries and ate half full.

It wasn't until it was dark that the lanterns in the palace were lit up, and Fei Yue'er wiped a mouthful of oil and returned to the dormitory with satisfaction.

These days are tiring, and today I am familiar with various affairs in the palace, and when I returned to the dormitory, Fei Yue'er was a little napping, and Xiao Ming was also a little sleepy, so he urged Fei Yue'er to take a bath with him and go to bed again.

Fei Yue'er blushed, twisted it and went to the bathroom with Xiao Ming, but when she saw the bathtub, toilet, and sink in the bathroom, she grabbed Xiao Ming's arm and asked.

Xiao Ming explained them one by one with a smile, and also demonstrated them, which made Fei Yue'er more and more surprised.

Hot water flowed into the bathtub from the water tower, and the two of them bathed in wide clothes and a few spring colors, Fei Yue'er blinked, and at this moment she suddenly felt like a village girl who entered Chang'an City from the village.

"Your Highness, are you laughing at Yue'er and don't understand anything?" Turning her head and seeing Xiao Ming smiling, Fei Yue'er pouted dissatisfied.

Xiao Ming said: "How come? This king laughed just because he married a beautiful woman. ”

Fei Yue'er pursed her lips and laughed, she said: "Yue'er marrying His Highness is also a blessing from a hundred years of cultivation, and I only want to grow old with His Highness in the future." ”

Looking at Fei Yue'er, who did not have a trace of impurities in her smile, Xiao Ming's heart warmed, he finally had a home.
