Traitor Summoning System [Infrastructure]

"Historical Records" said: The king regards the people as his heaven, and the people regard food as his heaven.

A year's plan lies in spring, and a good year depends on spring plowing.Spring is very important for agriculture, especially in terms of agriculture this year. Leonard is determined to make the territory self-sufficient in food and sell it to the outside world.

So this year, the agricultural aspect is particularly tight.

It's time to plant potatoes.

The source of the name of the potato is that it looks like a horse bell. In China, the name of the potato first appeared in Kangxi's "Songxi County Chronicles".

In the past, one of the reasons why people did not eat potatoes was habit. They felt that the things buried in the ground were dark, and another reason was that some people were poisoned by eating potatoes.

Sprouted potatoes are poisonous and they don't know it.

Leonard began to promote potatoes in the first year he came here, and vigorously promoted the benefits of potatoes, and produced many potato dishes.

Potatoes spread rapidly in the territory, and people in the whole territory are now eating potatoes, a high-yield crop.

Potatoes can be used as a staple food. It is the fourth most important food crop in the world and can provide a very rich amount of calories to the human body.

Potatoes can also be used as a side dish. Potatoes are very nutritious, including not only the starch we are familiar with, but also protein, amino acids, and minerals. It is worth mentioning that the vitamins in potatoes are the most complete among all food crops. .

"Growing potatoes is different from growing other grains." The team leader said to the new farmers, "Potatoes are now the most important grain in the territory. Don't look at the people who grow rice so proud, but they have a total of How many? How many do we have in total? We crush them.”

"So that's how it is!" The farmers were very excited when they heard that, and they were happy that they were shouldering such a heavy responsibility.

The team leader continued to guide: "The seeds of potatoes are different from others. We need to cut the potatoes into pieces first. There are two bud eyes on each piece."

"What is Yayan?" A farmer asked.

"It's the sunken place. Come on, look at this, yes, this is the bud eye." The team leader gestured and said, "Sprouts will grow from the bud eye, and then they will grow into seedlings, and finally they will grow into the potatoes we eat." The team leader has received special training, and he speaks clearly and clearly.

There is a 'chain of contempt' in the animal husbandry industry. The grooms who raise horses think they are the most noble, and the farmers they farm also have a chain of contempt, but the chain of contempt is not so absolute, because all farmers think that the crops they grow are the most important. .

The farmers who grow rice feel that they are very powerful, because rice is a new crop here, and the lords like to eat rice very much, so they think they are very noble.

The farmers working in the glass greenhouses are even more incredible, this is a glass greenhouse!These days, glass is much more precious than crystal, and working in a glass shed is like working in a crystal palace, so each of them is extremely proud.

The potato farmers also felt that they were great. Before that, they had never heard of potatoes being edible!Moreover, the lord has repeatedly emphasized that potatoes are a very important food crop.

Their pride is a benign pride, which can motivate them to devote themselves to their work harder.

Potatoes need soil that is rich in organic matter and needs to be plowed back and forth before planting.The looser the soil, the better the potato roots can breathe, and the potatoes will grow very large.

Potatoes also need to be cultivated in ridges, because too much rain will cause the potato root system to rot, and ridge cultivation can just avoid this.In addition, ridge cultivation can increase the temperature difference. If the temperature difference is large, the potato tubers will expand rapidly when the temperature is changed alternately.

In addition, the team leaders also learned how to treat pests and diseases.

One of the reasons for the extremely low yield of food crops in the Middle Ages was that they were resigned to their fate. They were often helpless when there was an insect infestation, and they could only squeeze the insects they saw to death with their bare hands.But what would that do?

Farmers heard that there is actually something that can treat pests, so they learned it very seriously.

The treatment of plant diseases and insect pests mainly uses plant ash, quicklime and sulfur.

In addition, Leonard knows that soaking tobacco in water can also kill insects, but Leonard's territory does not produce tobacco, so this method is temporarily useless.

For further prevention and control of pests, Leonard handed over to Gongsun Sheng to study.

Gongsun Sheng is a physicist and chemist in the territory, and studying this can be regarded as a professional counterpart.

In terms of prevention, plant ash is mainly used.

In fact, plant ash plays an important role in the territory, it can prevent and eliminate pests while fertilizing the land.

In terms of potato planting, the potassium element in plant ash also plays a very important role in the growth of potatoes.

In addition to agriculture, plant ash also plays an important role in industry. One of the important raw materials for Leonard's handmade soap is plant ash.

Leonard has been addicted to farming since the beginning of spring, and he has successively introduced various measures to encourage the development of agriculture.

Agriculture is the pillar industry of the territory. Liang Qichao said: Looking at the order of industrial development in various countries, all of them are based on agriculture.

This year we must achieve the goal of a sharp increase in food production!Leonard thought arrogantly.

……

Leonard woke up this morning and drew a lottery as usual, but he got two boxes of cobblestones.

Well, it's not completely useless, it's still useful in construction and other aspects, but two boxes are too few as building materials.Leonard shook his head.

If you want to make an ecological fish tank or something, it would be fine to lay a layer of pebbles underneath.

……

In this way, I suddenly want to build an ecological fish tank in the castle!

Leonard remembered that when he used to build a house in the game "Minecraft", he always liked to have a big fish tank in the bedroom.

Leonard found that he really wanted to do everything.

Then, do it slowly, life is still very long anyway.

After breakfast, the steward came to report that a freeman had dug up sweet golden potatoes and presented them to the lord.

Sweet golden potatoes?Leonard was a little curious.

Leonard received the freeman, and then saw the 'potato' he was holding in his hand. Leonard was overjoyed. Isn't this a sweet potato?

Sweet potatoes are a good thing. When I was young, roasted sweet potatoes/roasted sweet potatoes were simply delicious, sweet and delicious, and loved by adults and children.

Sweet potatoes can also be used to make sugar and wine, and can be made into various snacks. Dried sweet potatoes are also delicious.

What many people don't know is that sweet potato leaves are still edible and very nutritious. At that time, there was a wave of sweet potato leaf craze.Before this craze, sweet potato leaves were generally fed to livestock, and indeed they were very nutritious.

Leonard directly rewarded the farmer with fifty gold coins, saying that he had discovered a new species and deserved a great reward.

Then Leonard asked the bards to spread the word, encouraging everyone to continue to discover new species.

After all, Leonard can't just rely on the system to draw a lottery.

He ate the roasted sweet potatoes that night, and the sweet taste of the sweet potatoes spread out in his mouth. Every time he chewed with his teeth, the sweet and soft sweet potatoes would evoke a sweet echo in his mouth.The meat of the roasted sweet potato that is connected to the shell is the most delicious part. It is golden red, slightly burnt, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, soft and sweet. The high-temperature grilling in the flame can perfectly bring out the aroma of the sweet potato itself. The taste made Leonard feel refreshed.

Plant sweet potatoes Plant sweet potatoes!

……

Dadi Brown sent a letter saying that a storm had killed many livestock before, so he asked for trade and sold a batch of fresh meat at a low price. "You purchase food everywhere, and you have vaguely become the head of the four major families, so you will not refuse to accept it." They roughly stated this in their letter.

"The weather is getting hotter, so it's better not to accept it now." Maester Rutherford said, "When the meat arrives, it will be spoiled."

Corrupted meat doesn't matter much to nobles, but the top nobles basically don't eat corrupted meat.

When Leonard was not a top aristocrat, he had long stopped eating rotten meat. Maester Rutherford also heard Leonard say that rotten meat was bad for health, so he said this.

"The other party has such a high hat, and the price is really cheaper." Leonard said, "Why don't you accept it, accept it."

He ordered the businessman Emerson to go to Huitu Island to collect the meat, and asked Emerson to bring a large amount of salt, and sprinkle the salt into the fresh meat to marinate it on the spot.

Play this trick with him?

Sugar-coated cannonball?

Then eat the icing and throw the shells back.

Now there are well salt and sea salt in the territory, and there are thousands of salt workers. There is no shortage of salt in Leonard's territory.

Emerson went with a pile of salt while Leonard waited for the good news.

……

After the day was free, Leonard started to make the lamp shadow beef and ants climbing the tree that he had thought of before.

The types of vermicelli that ants use to climb trees are not limited. Now that they have found a large piece of sweet potato, Leonard can make sweet potato flour.

"Lord, what did you say you were going to do?" asked the cook.

There is no word for 'vermicelli' in their language. Leonard originally planned to use 'noodles' instead, but then thought that there would be a lot of vermicelli in the territory in the future, so let's just create the word vermicelli.

"Make sweet potato flour," Leonard said.

The cook had never heard of this word and was very at a loss.

Leonard said: "Vermicelli, a kind of food, looks crystal clear, has a smooth taste and is very chewy, and can be made into various dishes."

The cook looked at the dingy sweet potato, and then thought of the golden appearance of the sweet potato after it was baked, and felt that it had nothing to do with the crystal clearness.

"I said, you do it." Leonard said, "You will see it when the time comes."

"Of order, my lord," said the cooks.

How can sweet potatoes become crystal clear? This is too strange. Is this magic?But I am an ordinary person, is what the lord said true?The cooks were skeptical.

Sweet potato flour is still very good, the main difficulty is grinding.There are soymilk machines in modern times, but there were also water mills and stone mills in ancient times, just grind them a few more times.

"Peel the sweet potatoes first, and then cut them into small pieces." Leonard directed.

The cooks in Little Thorn Castle are all good cooks. These basic skills are quite solid, and they completed Leonard's steps neatly.

"What's next? Your lord." They were all looking forward to it. They wanted to see how the lord turned sweet potatoes into crystal clear vermicelli, and made it by himself. It must be a great feeling.

Farmers and grooms are proud of their professions, and cooks are equally proud of their professions.

Everyone likes to eat the delicacies they make, and everyone is crazy about them.

They clearly know that all these are given to them by the lord. They have to study hard to cook all kinds of delicacies, and constantly improve their skills, so that everyone will always like their delicacies.

They also brought apprentices, and their apprentices went to other restaurants to work as chefs, making money, promoting food, and promoting the lord.

Moreover, the lord often asks Cai Lun to make some more convenient cooking utensils for them, which is really flattering.

They have gained everything in this kitchen, so they think they should give everything for the kitchen, which is an equal exchange thing.

"The next step is to grind the sweet potatoes into sweet potato pulp." Leonard said, "Take it to the water mill, forget it, the water mill is too slow, go to the stone mill to grind it."

"Okay," said the cooks.

What a pity to grind up sweet potatoes that baked so deliciously, they couldn't help thinking.

Then Leonard told them how to do it in one breath. After adding fresh water to the ground sweet potato pulp, filter it twice with cotton cloth, and then put it in the ice cellar to stand. The sweet potato powder will naturally settle down, so it is quietly placed in the It's good there, it can't shake back and forth.

After a day, the sweet potato flour will settle down, with clear water on the top and sweet potato flour on the bottom.

Pour out the clear water, then add the sweet potato flour and water and stir evenly until it becomes a paste, and then you can add some starch, the taste of the sweet potato flour will be better.

"It's such a pile of paste, you can't see the crystal clear appearance."

"What if the lord asks later?"

"Is there something wrong with our halfway approach?"

"It's possible. I heard from the lord that there is something called bacteria everywhere. We can't see it, but it will affect us."

"That must be our problem, we probably have germs on our hands."

They muttered, but still followed Leonard's instructions to take the last step.

Put the sticky sweet potato powder into a plate and steam it in a pot of cold water.

The cooks were a little discouraged, thinking about how to apologize to the lord later.

A cook went over to take a look, and then exclaimed: "Unexpectedly, it is really translucent!"

The cooks went over immediately and saw that the sweet potato flour on the plate was no longer a sticky white mass, but really translucent!

"Wow--"

"so amazing!"

"How did you do it!"

"Could it be the bacteria the lord said!"

"Ah, hurry up to the next step, the time is up, the next step."

The cooks immediately took the sweet potato flour out of the plate, soaked it in cold water for a while, and then cut it into long strips.

Pure natural sweet potato flour is here!

The cook happily reported to Leonard, and Leonard came over to take a look: "Well... it's a bit soft, but there's nothing I can do about it, after all, it's all natural and has no additives. I'm exaggerating the crystal clearness, this one is at most translucent... "

"Lord, how did this become transparent? Could it be bacteria?" A cook asked curiously.

Leonard laughed, "It's really powerful to think of bacteria, but this time it's not bacteria, but a natural product."

Next time I will try to add some alum, and there is no toxicity after controlling the amount.Leonard thought.

Then Leonard started to use the freshly made sweet potato flour to make the dish of ants climbing the tree, because the sweet potato flour without additives is relatively fragile, so he had to be careful when making it.Leonard rarely cooks himself.

In the dish of ants climbing the tree, the sweet potato flour is like a branch, and the minced meat sticks to the sweet potato flour. The dish is named after its shape.Leonard didn't think the name was very good, it sounded weird, he picked up the vermicelli with chopsticks and looked at the minced meat on it, thinking that the name of the dish described it as an ant, which made it even more creepy.

But the taste of ants on the tree is very good, the color is bright red, and the sweet potato powder after cooking is smooth and delicious.Many descriptions of the advantages of ants climbing trees will have a vivid image, but Leonard feels that this is unnecessary.

After it was out of the pot, it smelled a strong and incomparable aroma.

Take a bite, and the delicious taste will instantly explode the taste buds. The minced meat dipped on the vermicelli is soft and tender, and the taste is wonderful.The smooth vermicelli and the soft minced meat complement each other perfectly.

What's even more wonderful is that ants climbing trees is a very suitable dish for dinner.With every bite, the fragrance is incomparable, the vermicelli is smooth and tender, the meat dregs are delicious, the rice is sweet, and the aroma of oil is overflowing, filling the mouth with endless aftertaste.

cool.

Leonard immersed himself in eating.

Plant sweet potatoes Plant sweet potatoes.

When an official does not decide for the people, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes.

Leonard said he wanted them all.
