Three Kingdoms: Five-year-old Chibi offering poison, shocking Cao Cao

Before leaving, Cao Rui told him to cook potatoes for about a stick of incense.

That is fifteen to twenty minutes.

In this way, boiled potatoes have the best flavor.

This time, Cao Pi directly ordered a large pot to be made, and the raw stove began to cook.

After about two or three minutes of cooking.

An indescribable fragrance has already emerged from the pot.

"This thing is fragrant, even better than corn!"

"Definitely a delicious treat!

Xu Chu suddenly widened his eyes and said excitedly.

Before being called by Cao Pi, Xu Chu had been training troops in the barracks according to the method given by Cao Rui.

After going back and forth, he seemed a little hungry.

Smelling such a fragrance, has already moved the index finger and drooled.

The time of a stick of incense is neither long nor short.

It was a bit of a torment for everyone.

Soon, when the soldiers saw that the incense was finished burning, they hurriedly lifted the lid of the pot.

A strong fragrance rushed to the face immediately.

Everyone's thoughts were disrupted, and they all looked towards the pot.

Without saying a word, Xu Chu rushed forward and took out a potato from the pot.

Although the hot Xu Chu grinned, he couldn't help but put the potato into his mouth.

"..."

Xu Chu frowned immediately.

It shouldn't be!

This potato smells so sweet, why does it taste astringent at first?

Cao Pi said in disbelief:

"Rui Er said that this thing should be eaten after peeling off the brown skin."

"General Xu, you are too hasty.

Xu Chu suddenly smiled embarrassedly, and after carefully trying the method that Cao Pi said, he put it into the final.

Soft and sweet!

Xu Chu's face immediately showed a look of satisfaction, he hurriedly picked up two potatoes again, and swallowed them.

Don't even bother to burn your mouth.

"Apart from meat, it is rare to find food that Zhongkang likes so much. 99

Seeing this, Xu Huang couldn't help but laugh.

Everyone also gathered in front of the pot, picked up the potatoes and began to taste.

Without exception, everyone raved about it!

Although it cannot be said that it is far superior to corn, it can only be said that the flavor is different.

But this sweet and soft taste is the first time everyone feels!

After eating just one piece, you will already feel full.

"Such a delicious delicacy, wouldn't it be beautiful if it were used as military rations?"

Zhang Liao said with some excitement.

Cao Pi's heart was even more turbulent.

Delicious, high yield, and easy to feel full!

Moreover, it is not a virtual satiety, and it does restore energy after eating!

If this thing is really used as a military ration, it can definitely greatly improve the morale of the soldiers!

If once it spreads all over the world, the people can also eat it.

Where in the world will there be hungry people?!

In addition, there is the most important point.

That is, this thing does not need to be cultivated too carefully, and even has a certain anti-natural disaster effect!

You know, in the past three months of planting potatoes, Jiangxia ushered in a large-scale drought.

Although it didn't last long, most of the surrounding corn was completely withered in the fields.

Seeing it will be fruitless!

But these 20 acres of land produced about five or six tons of potatoes!

Even if it is not used for military use, it is enough for the people to eat for a long time!

This is only twenty acres of land!

"If I had known that potatoes are such a fetish, I should have done my best to try and have more variety!"

Cao Pi suddenly sighed and said helplessly.

But he didn't have many seeds in his hands.

If you want to plant more, I am afraid that at most it will be enough for 30 to 40 acres of land.

"Quick, send a letter to Xu Du."

"Ask Rui'er if he still has seeds?

"This thing has such a high yield in the south, it is hard to come by!

Cao Pi immediately said to the guard eagerly.

However, at this moment, Jia Xu smiled indifferently and said:

"Young master, rest assured, the little master has already expected this."

"A few days ago, the young master sent a secret letter to Zai alone, along with a large bag of seeds. 95

"The young master did not say what the seed was for, but only asked the officer to hand it over to the son when the potatoes were ripe."5

"Now it seems that the young master has long foreseen this, and specially sent the seeds of potatoes!

Hearing Jia Xu's words, Cao Pi's eyes suddenly lit up:

"Good Rui'er, my good Rui'er!"

"Really plan ahead! 35

Jia Xu continued to laugh and said:

"The seeds given by the young master are still in the lower government."

"If you want to plant, you can send soldiers to sow today.""

"However, the young master also mentioned one point in the letter, I hope I will accept it. 99

Hearing this, Cao Pi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and immediately said:

"Mr. Wenhe, just say it."

"Since it is Ruier's request, I will help him fulfill it no matter what. 35

Jia Xu continued:

"The young master said that the potatoes that were planted for the first time should not be used for military use."

"It's distributed to the people all over Jingzhou."

"As for the army, there are instant noodles, and there will be no shortage of food for the time being. 99

Cao Pi immediately said happily:

"If Rui'er doesn't say it, I also want to!"

"Jingzhou has suffered from severe drought for many days and no grains have been harvested. Now is the time to return to my heart!"5

"This potato is the best way for our army to stabilize the hearts of the people!

"Moreover, with the help of this method, the common people can be voluntarily willing to plant.99

"The more you plant, the more food you will have to worry about!"

"Rui'er is a good plan to kill two birds with one stone!"

When everyone heard Cao Rui's explanation, they couldn't help but take a breath.

They know that Cao Rui has a talent far beyond the reach of ordinary people in terms of military strategy.

But I never imagined that there are such amazing insights in people's livelihood!

"Go on and distribute these potatoes to all parts of Jingzhou, led by Jiangxia. 35

"It is widely publicized that this object was discovered by Cao Rui, my grandson of Cao's patriarch!

Without saying a word, Cao Pi directly ordered the order to go down.

If it was someone else's credit, Cao Pi might have monopolized it by himself.

But Cao Rui's, Cao Pi will never do it.

My son is so proud, and his face is bright!

Moreover, this time Cao Pi was completely convinced by Cao Rui.

This time, we must take advantage of this trend to publicize Cao Rui.

Otherwise, how can it be worthy of Cao Rui's contribution to such a magical thing?!

"Here!"

Everyone was ordered immediately, and they acted according to Cao Pi's instructions.

At this moment, Cao Pi suddenly remembered:

"Speaking of which, Rui'er also said that these potatoes can not only be boiled and eaten as a staple food.

"It can also be used as a dish."

"The thing itself is a vegetable."

"If it is supplemented with seasonings, it can become a first-class delicacy!

"Say... it's like making a stir fry like this..."

Hearing this, everyone immediately looked at each other.

"Fried vegetables? What does this mean?"

Everyone's eyes widened, even Jia Xu was at a loss.

No wonder they.

The concept of stir-frying did not exist in the Three Kingdoms period.

It was only in the Northern Wei Dynasty that the concept of stir-frying was in its infancy.

It was not until the Tang Dynasty that it began to gradually improve, and it was not spread until the Song Dynasty.

During this period, it is all the precipitation of the years.

Cao Pi also said with a little understanding:

"Rui Er gave me a cookbook for cooking before leaving. 35

"This stir-fry is to make a pot with iron, then pour oil into it, and put the dishes...

Fortunately, Cao Pi's memory is not bad, and he almost told everyone the concept of cooking.

Jia Xu couldn't help but feel a little ashamed and said:

"This... iron is so scarce that it is far from enough to make armor and weapons.

"Where can there be so much iron to make a pot?"

Cao Pi also sighed helplessly:

"I can only ask Ruier about this matter."

"I asked Ruier about this."

"Rui Er said that he has a way to increase the production of iron, but it will take a certain amount of time. 39

Hearing this, everyone exclaimed.

At this moment, in their eyes, Cao Rui is like a god-like existence!

"Let's distribute these potatoes to the people first."9

"By the way, I sent some potatoes to my father, saying that these potatoes were made by Rui Er."5

Cao Pi waved his hand and motioned to go down.

The next day, Jiangdong.

Cao Cao's face was gloomy, and he looked at the military officials in the tent.

A month has passed.

A whole month!

Cao Jun can only stop at Chaisang and stagnate!

Until now, Cao Cao did not understand that Wu was not so easy to fight.

Sun Quan mobilized troops and horses from all over the country to besiege the 203 three prefectures and counties occupied by Cao's army at all costs.

In addition, Liu Bei also came here and made a surprise attack from behind.

It caused confusion in the camp.

Fortunately, Cao Cao obeyed Cao Rui's advice and fought steadily.

Many garrisoned troops were also sent to the other two county towns.

This led to Liu Bei's surprise attack, but failed to cut off Cao's forage.

Otherwise, if there is no food and grass, this Wu Du will not even think about being able to defeat it.

As for the grain output of the occupied prefectures and counties, it is basically no different from Jingzhou.

Jingzhou suffered a severe drought, and Jiangdong was not much better.

It is a problem for the people of Jiangdong to eat by themselves, let alone provide it to an army of 200,000.

Cao Cao knew in his heart that although the people of Jiangdong had complaints against him, they should not loot the people of Jiangdong.

Doing so will only make the Southern Expedition more difficult.

Food is a big problem right now.

But it was only a matter of time before the capital of Wu was captured.

But at this time, Cao Cao still had some thoughts about the situation in the north.

Although he has already sent Cao Rui to the north to sit in town.

But Cao Cao still felt a little unsure about Cao Rui.

In terms of fighting, Cao Rui's advice can be said to be an exhaustive strategy, and every move is fatal.

But in the officialdom, as well as dealing with the gentry, Cao Cao really did not dare to believe it.

Therefore, Cao Cao was still worried that there would be chaos in the north.

Fortunately, after such a long time, there is no bad news.

It shows that under the governance of Cao Rui and Xun Yu, the situation in the north was reluctantly stabilized.

But Cao Cao knew in his heart that this situation might not last long.

There is only one priority right now.

It is to take Wu Capital as soon as possible.

Once Wu Capital is taken, Jiang Dong will lose his backbone.

If Sun Quan can be beheaded together, the entire Jiangdong will be completely plunged into a leaderless situation.

However, the current Cao Cao still lacks a way to defeat the enemy.

At this moment, a soldier hurriedly came to the tent and said:

"Report!

"Report to the Prime Minister, the son sent a letter from Jiangxia, and some strange food."

"Said it was for the Prime Minister to taste!"
