Chapter 204
After excavation, weighing, and calculation, it is estimated that about 25 shi of sweet potatoes can be produced per mu of ground.Potatoes are similar, anyway, there are more than rice.

"Okay, this is really great. The production and promotion must be well promoted." Yang Tianci has never experienced such a thing, but he has adjusted quickly.

"Your Majesty, God bless Dawei, with these crops, I don't know how many people can eat more and get rid of hunger."

"That's right, the several crops discovered by Prince Chuan are truly extraordinary achievements."

"Your Majesty should promote these crops to improve the lives of the people."

"Your Majesty, Prince Chuan has done such a great job. Shouldn't he be recalled to Kyoto? After all, Xihe City is a remote, remote and cold place."

Although Yang Tianci restrained his smile, a trace of joy could not help showing on his face.Hearing these ministers say this, Yang Tianci also explained, "When you came last time, you already talked to Yichuan about these things. I also talked to Yichuan in private, and he said that staying in Xihe City was not because of I punished him and made such a decision angry, not for any other reason. He wants to contribute to the Dawei Dynasty and develop the remote place of Xihe Prefecture, and I also support him."

"Your Majesty, how should this bitterly cold place in Xihe Prefecture develop? If His Highness hadn't been allowed to stay in the capital, maybe he could have done more."

"Needless to say, Ichikawa has made up his mind that at least the matter of these three years will stay in Xihe City. He said that this is his punishment, and it is also his choice. Merits and demerits cannot be offset. If you pass, you will be punished. Okay, let’s not talk about this matter, Yu Zhang, you said that you have already learned how to make this corn and potatoes?"

Yan Yuzhang nodded immediately, "The book left by Prince Chuan is very detailed, and there are many other methods. Although I may not be able to do it myself now, I have memorized the theoretical methods."

Yan Wenyu looked at Yan Yuzhang with a straight face, "Yu Zhang, stop messing around, let the cook do it."

Yang Tianci also smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, let Yu Zhang give it a try. Yu Zhang is also old, so I think he has some sense of propriety."

Yan Yuzhang immediately answered, "Yes, Grandpa, these methods are very simple, and Jifeng and I have learned them for a long time. Right, Jifeng?"

Xu Jifeng had always been quiet, but now he was dragged in by Yan Yuzhang and couldn't escape. "Yu Zhang and I have indeed read this several times. As for the methods, we all understand it, but we have never had these things to try."

Yang Tianci also said, "Old Yan, let them two young people try."

In the end, Yan Yuzhang and Xu Jifeng started to get busy in the kitchen, boiling water, making preparations, and so on. Yang Tianci and the others were also a little speechless and their eyes were hot.

But cooking corn on the cob is very simple. Just wash the corn on the cob, throw it into water and cook it directly.

In addition, sweet potatoes must also be cooked or roasted.As for more high-end methods, it is a bit troublesome. Yan Yuzhang and Xu Jifeng cannot do it now.

In the frantic operation of the two, after waiting for a while, the corn and sweet potatoes were cooked, and the roasted sweet potatoes also gave off some aroma, which was similar to the aroma of rice, which was the aroma of sweet potatoes and corn.

"Yichuan said that this roasted sweet potato should be eaten while it's hot." Yan Yuzhang followed Yang Yichuan's previous statement, holding a roasted sweet potato, and it immediately became hot to the touch, and then the sweet potato jumped back and forth in his hand.

"Huh, it's so hot, it's burning me to death."

Xu Jifeng was a little calm on the side, "Can this not be hot? It was just taken out."

"But there is a legend that it tastes better and is more fragrant if you eat it while it's hot."

Xu Jifeng was also a little speechless, why Yan Yuzhang couldn't turn his head around today, "I want to take advantage of the heat, but let it cool down a little bit."

After waiting for a moment, Xu Jifeng took a sweet potato. Although it was still a little hot, it was no longer as hot as before.

"Well, it's done." Xu Jifeng easily divided the sweet potato into two halves, and handed half to Yan Yuzhang. Yang Yan Yuzhang also took the sweet potato, and then the two began to taste it.

"Well, it smells so good."

Xu Jifeng also said, "Yes, it tastes a bit sweet and delicious. Your Majesty, you should try it too."

Yang Tianci also took a baked sweet potato that was slightly mushy, and then easily divided it into two halves, and then began to eat it. It was already roasted, but after roasting, it was soft and did not need to be chewed at all.Especially now when it's hot, the sweetness and fragrance stimulate everyone's senses at any time.

"Why are you staring blankly? You should also taste the sweet potatoes separately. Jifeng and Yu Zhang also roasted a lot. As for the corn, let's finish eating the sweet potatoes first."

A group of ministers also distributed about one-third of the sweet potatoes to each of them, and they just tasted it, tasted it, and saw if it could satisfy their hunger.After a while, there was a voice of praise, "Well, it smells good."

"Yeah, it's quite delicious."

Yan Yuzhang was very proud when he heard these compliments, just like he was praised, "This sweet potato can also be made into snacks or steamed buns with flour in this way, and it will have a little more flavor. In fact, sweet potatoes It can still be eaten raw, and the taste is good. When cooking rice, you can cut the sweet potato into chunks and throw it directly into the rice, or you can cook it directly. You can also cook porridge or something, anyway, there are many way."

"There is also this corn, which can be ground into powder, just like flour, and can also be boiled into corn paste, like porridge."

"Yichuan said that there are many types of food, and this food is not limited to rice and wheat. What are the whole grains, rice, wheat, corn, soybeans, and potatoes, that is, sweet potatoes? It is often better to eat a little bit than a single one." Much better."

Yan Yuzhang couldn't stop talking about it. Most of these things were also heard from Yang Yichuan, or read in the books left behind.Naturally, it was impossible for Yang Yichuan to know so much, it was all the help from the system.

After tasting the sweet potato, it becomes corn. Half a corn cob per person tastes very fast and tastes good. After eating such a little thing, it does relieve the hunger and feel full in the stomach.

It was the first time for Yang Tianci to eat ordinary food, and he was so happy, "Okay, good food. This greenhouse is good, but the sweet potato, potato and corn are even better. It must be promoted and planted well, and some of these will be given away. Go to the palace, as for the method, you all know how to do it, then teach it to the cooks in the palace, I also eat less rice every day, and get some whole grains to taste."

Why didn't everyone know that Yang Tianci's style of work was always simple, except for big banquets, the meals he usually ate were relatively simple.It was also because of the cook Yang Yichuan brought back, those new-style dishes, that it was a little bit passable.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Also, Yan Yuzhang, Xu Jifeng, and others have all made contributions. They have worked tirelessly to take care of this greenhouse. When I return to the palace, think carefully about what kind of rewards I should give you."
