After the palace maid's counterattack, the tyrant was fascinated

Xuanyuan Yin looked at the French fries on the table and asked in surprise: "What is this made of?"

Yun Sanluo replied: "Your Majesty, it's made of potatoes!"

"Potato?"

Xuanyuan Yin was a little surprised. He had never heard of potatoes. Are they a specialty of some place? Why have I never eaten it before?

"Where did this thing come from?"

Yun Sangluo replied to Xuanyuan Yin's words: "Your Majesty, this concubine planted this herself."

After Xuanyuan Yin heard what Yun Sanluo said, he stood up in shock: "Did you grow it yourself?"

"Yes?"

Yun Sanluo looked puzzled. Isn't it just potatoes? Is Xuanyuan Yin so surprised?

Yun Sanluo felt a little strange after Xuanyuan Yin's words. Didn't potatoes appear in Canglan Kingdom yet?

No wonder, she had never eaten potatoes before. It turned out that there were no potatoes in Canglan Kingdom!

Because she didn't like potatoes very much, she ignored them. If potatoes hadn't appeared in Canglan Country yet, they could be popularized.

You must know that in the age of natural disasters, potatoes can be a filling food, taste very good, and can be made into various delicacies.

Yun Sangluo saw that Xuanyuan had never seen potatoes before, so he ordered someone to bring one over.

"Your Majesty, these are potatoes. They can be made into delicacies. If there is no staple food, they can also satisfy your hunger!"

Xuanyuan Yin took the potatoes handed to him by Yun Sanluo and fell into deep thought. There were always things that he had never seen before in Yun Sanluo's place.

Over time, he no longer asked Yun Sanluo where things came from. He only wanted to know the use of things and what benefits they could bring to Canglan Country.

"So this is what potatoes look like!" Xuanyuan muttered to himself as he looked at potatoes.

He had just tasted French fries made from potatoes. They were crispy on the outside and soft and waxy on the inside. They tasted very good, especially when there was no food. Using them to satisfy your hunger was also a way to satisfy your hunger.

"Yun Zhaorong, where did you plant these potatoes? What was the yield?"

Xuanyuan Yin became interested in potatoes. It would be great if this crop could be widely planted in Canglan Country. It might be able to solve the problem of food and clothing for many people.

Yun Sangluo thought about the uses of potatoes and the scarcity in ancient times. In fact, besides potatoes, there were many vegetables and fruits in her yard.

"Your Majesty, I planted it in the yard. I didn't cultivate the previous garden and turned it into a vegetable garden.

Because I wanted to eat some fresh and novel vegetables and fruits, I planted the seeds I had purchased from traveling vendors and the seeds my concubine found on the mountain.

The concubine came across this potato accidentally when she went to the border. She also saw it in a book and knew that this crop was called potatoes.

It can be boiled, fried, grilled, deep-fried, and stir-fried. There are many cooking methods, so I saved some seeds and planted them in the vegetable garden. Unexpectedly, potatoes actually grew, and the yield was amazing, with one acre producing thousands of pounds. "

Xuanyuan Yin was originally quite calm when he heard Yun Sanluo say how he got the potatoes, but when Yun Sanluo said that one acre can produce a thousand catties, Xuanyuan Yin exclaimed.

"What, one acre can produce a thousand catties..."

Xuanyuan Yin could no longer remain calm and quickly asked, "Yun Zhaorong, are you serious about what you said?"

There was some urgency in Xuanyuan Yin's tone, and Yun Sanluo repeated it again: "Yes, Your Majesty, if the yield is good, five thousand catties per mu is not a problem. Even if the yield is not good, it should be able to reach two to three thousand catties."

Xuanyuan Yin was shocked when he heard Yun Sanluo's affirmative answer and knew that she could not lie to him.

Xuanyuan Yin looked at the round potatoes in front of him. Although they looked ugly, he didn't expect that they could not only be used as a staple food, but also be so productive. It was like a dream.

If every household could grow potatoes on an acre of land, many people would not have to go hungry.

Because the harvests of food crops in ancient times were small and there were frequent famine years, many people often went hungry.

Even though each generation of emperors would try their best to increase the yield of food crops, they were still unsatisfactory. Many people would still starve to death every year because they had no food to eat.

That's why Xuanyuan was extremely excited when he heard Yun Sanluo say that the grain yield was so high.

And this is just the beginning. The surprises Yun Sanluo will bring to Xuanyuan in the future will be even more shocking than the potato yield.

"Your Majesty, there are not many potatoes planted in my yard, so I can't leave a lot of seeds. If Your Majesty wants to plant them, the yield may be a little less in the first year, but it will be more and more in the future."

Yun Sanluo added to Xuanyuan that because the space in the yard was limited and Yun Sanluo had many vegetables and fruits he wanted to grow, he only planted one acre of potatoes.

If Xuanyuan Yin wants to plant, he won't have too many seeds this time, but the yield of potatoes is amazing. One seed can produce many potatoes, and they can be planted in large quantities next year.

"It doesn't matter, as long as the yield is high and it can fill the stomach, people can grow it."

Xuanyuan Yin replied calmly. Xuanyuan was already very surprised to be able to get such a magical thing as potatoes. Crops have a growth cycle, so they can't rush it. When the yield is greater next year, if they continue to plant it in large quantities, they can alleviate the pain. Less food stress.

"Yun Zhaorong, what kind of land is most suitable for growing this potato? I will let people find it."

Xuanyuan Yin is now very eager to know how to grow potatoes and the suitable growing environment for potatoes.

Xuanyuan Yin originally thought that high-yielding crops like potatoes would be difficult to grow, but Yun Sanluo said calmly: "Your Majesty, in fact, potatoes are not picky about the environment. Even barren land can be grown as long as it is cultivated properly. It can grow, and if it is fertile land, it will produce a high yield. If it is a poor field, it will just yield less.”

"Yun Zhaorong is serious about what he said. Are these potatoes really so easy to grow?"

Xuanyuan Yin simply couldn't believe that potatoes were so high-yielding that he had opened the door to a new century. It was even more incredible to him that potatoes were so easy to grow.

"Seriously, seriously, the emperor can order someone to conduct an experiment and then he will know whether the concubine is telling lies."

Yun Sanluo looked serious, Xuanyuan looked at her, and inexplicably believed what she said unconditionally.

"This is a major event that will benefit the people of Canglan. I must quickly summon the ministers to discuss entering the palace.

“Recently, officials in many places have reported that this year’s harvest is not good, with almost no grains harvested from the fields, and people are complaining.

I was extremely worried about this matter, but I didn't expect that Yun Zhaorong would solve the problem for me tonight. If potatoes are really so high-yielding, you have made a great contribution! "
