Reborn with super powers: The general wants to repay his kindness

The Sixth Prince personally came to greet this group of distinguished guests. This time he did not go to the pavilion in the center of the lake, but to the boat shop in the lake.This boathouse was specially built by Shang Yilan. It is not too big, but it is rare in a courtyard like this.

After getting on the boat, Emperor Changde called out: "Where's Sister Cheng? I'm here. Now you can tell me what you are doing, right?"

Yu Cheng was still busy in the kitchen. As soon as Lu Yanzhao got on the boat, he handed over the defense work to other subordinates, washed his hands and went to help behind.Hearing the noise outside, Yu Cheng asked Lu Yanzhao to take out the fried potato chips and the two prepared seasonings. These were also new snacks planned to be introduced in the pub.

There are two kinds of condiments, one is the classic tomato sauce. No one can recognize the ingredients used to make it into a paste anyway. After arriving in the capital, she didn't find tomatoes, and they haven't been imported from outside yet!I saved a lot in the space, and when I couldn't finish it, I took the time to make tomato sauce and save it. Now it comes in handy.The other one is salty and slightly spicy, which is also guaranteed to be unique among other semicolons.

Seeing Lu Yanzhao carrying a tray as a waiter, especially wearing the military uniform, Emperor Changde and the Queen couldn't help but laugh. Looking at the plate, they saw the fried meat on the plate. golden food.

"What kind of food is this? Is it possible that this is what you came here for today? Hey, Sister Cheng is still filial." Although Emperor Changde was a little disappointed, he was relatively tolerant of Cheng, so he didn't think much about it.

Zuo An stepped forward to taste it first. After hearing Lu Yanzhao's introduction about how to dip it in seasonings and eat it, he tasted them all and his eyes widened because he had never eaten them before.

"Your Majesty, I didn't expect that this old slave would take advantage of your Majesty today and taste the fresh food prepared by the county master."

The Queen was very considerate. She picked it up with her chopsticks before Zuo An finished tasting it. She tasted both condiments carefully and her eyes lit up. Both flavors tasted very fresh, just so sour. It's sweet and very appetizing.

The sixth prince grabbed it and ate it without any scruples. While eating, he said, "Father, how does it taste? This is the new food that Sister Cheng is going to introduce in the tavern, but I guess it is more popular with the ladies and children." love."

Fresh is fresh, but it also tastes a bit too troublesome.

Emperor Changde stared: "Have you eaten before?"

The Sixth Prince laughed, finally he had something he could do to get ahead of his father. "Father, you have forgotten that I stayed with Sister Cheng for two days last year. At that time, she took us into the mountains for hunting and baked some earth lumps found in the mountains at night. If she hadn't informed us in advance this time, I didn’t even know that this food was made of those lumps of earth.”

Emperor Changde sensitively caught a few key words and asked: "Find it in the mountains? Are there no other places? What kind of dirt lumps are there? Bring them over and show me."

Lu Yanzhao responded and went to the kitchen again. There was a whole basket of potatoes inside. After talking to Sister Cheng, he picked out a few clean ones and took them out. The sixth prince took the opportunity to explain to Emperor Changde that these things It grew out of the ground. When it was pulled out, it still had lumps of mud on it. It was not yellow like now, so it didn't look like lumps of earth.

Emperor Changde fiddled with it carefully and asked, "What is this thing called? What else can it be made to eat?"

The Sixth Prince shook his head: "I have to ask Sister Cheng. She found the things. Of course I have to ask her how to cook them."

"Can you grow this thing by yourself? How many lumps like this can be formed under a stem?" The emperor didn't know the name of the potato and he called it with the sixth prince. "How else can we eat? How much can one acre of land produce?" Emperor Changde was obviously aware of a very critical issue.

The queen immediately understood that Yu Cheng had mobilized so many people to come here specially, perhaps not just to find something fresh to eat.

The sixth prince couldn't explain it, and Yu Cheng was still busy in the kitchen, so Emperor Changde asked Lu Yanzhao to go to the kitchen quickly to urge the food to be served quickly.

Without letting people outside wait any longer, Yangliu and Taolu started bringing dishes to the table one after another. Each time they brought a plate, they introduced the name of the dish. Many of the dish names had the name of a potato, such as spicy and sour potatoes. Shredded, golden mashed potatoes, fried potato pancakes, beef brisket stewed with potatoes, roasted pork ribs with potatoes, a large plate of chicken, and a plate of three local delicacies. I asked which three delicacies it was, and it turned out that one of them was potatoes. Even the rice served was also potatoes. Braised rice.

Anyone can see that the dishes that are served are not very delicate. Ordinary people can cook them with these ingredients, and they can be eaten since they are served. It can be seen that crops like potatoes are widely used on the dinner table.

Emperor Changde's eyes flashed, and he laughed loudly: "Today is a potato feast, okay! Let me try it and see how Sister Cheng is doing." If he liked something, he asked Zuo An to do it. He carried vegetables.

The queen ignored him and said to Yang Liu: "Isn't Sister Cheng finished in the kitchen? These dishes are enough to eat. Let her come out quickly. If she wants to cook, she can just stand by and tell others."

In fact, our sisters say they are proficient in cooking, but they just stand aside and instruct the cooks on how to cook. They only know the cooking procedures. How can there be someone like Sister Cheng who cooks by herself?

When Emperor Changde realized that the significance of this meal was extraordinary, the taste of the various dishes on the table came second. He tasted and commented on each dish very seriously.Of course, the dishes made by Yu Cheng himself are also very good in taste, making it hard to fault.

The Queen loved the Golden Sand Mashed Potatoes so much that she asked Yu Cheng how to make it. It turned out that the salted duck egg yolk was mashed and the steamed potatoes were pressed into a puree and stir-fried in an oil pan. The heat was particularly important. There was a burnt smell, but of course the dish in front of me was golden, which looked very pleasing to the eye.

I thought that I would have to ask Yu Cheng to hand over the recipe to the palace.

After Emperor Changde tasted all the dishes, including the staple potato stewed rice, he finally asked the most important question, which is how to grow potato lumps and what the yield per acre is. Yu Cheng then brought Zhengyang Village and his own The planting of Zuo Xiaozhuangzi was explained, including its yield, and its characteristics of being durable in storage and being used as food to satisfy the hunger were also introduced. Emperor Changde was so excited that his beard stood up.

"Can wasteland be planted? The yield per acre can reach two thousand kilograms?" Emperor Changde simply couldn't believe his ears, and at the same time he felt that potatoes in this sense were simply a gift from the gods.

Think about it, if such crops were fully promoted throughout Ohamata, no one would starve to death again in Ohamata, and his name would remain in history.
