Datang: An eight-year-old master of the bar, he gave everyone a blow at the beginning

Chapter 209 Why is it so rare to dig potatoes?

When Empress Changsun heard what Li Er said, she couldn't wait to pick up a potato cake and stuffed it into Cherry's mouth. She took a bite of the potato cake, her eyes lit up, and she nodded fiercely.

"What Your Majesty said is true, this potato cake is much more delicious than the pies I have eaten before!"

Li Er then picked up another potato cake: "Queen, today I will compete with you to see who can eat the potato cake the fastest!"

Empress Changsun was burning with anxiety and said indignantly: "Your Majesty, your belly is bigger than this concubine's body, and you eat faster than my concubine's body. This competition is not fair!"

After she finished speaking, she grabbed another potato cake and ate it one by one.

Li Er ate a potato pancake in one sitting, and when he saw Empress Changsun grasping the potato pancake with both hands, he burst out laughing.

"Queen, I didn't expect you to be ugly sometimes!"

Empress Changsun blushed at Li Er's words, she said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, you forced this!"

"Okay, I was wrong, okay?" Li Er acknowledged: "Today, Changshan brought us half of the delicious food!"

Empress Changsun smiled, nodded and said, "That's about the same!"

Princess Changshan saw the two eating happily, opened the brocade box containing potato jelly, and said to Li Er mysteriously.

"Father, here is the dessert that I made today. It's called potato jelly. Come and taste it!"

Li Er's eyes lit up, both surprised and delighted.

"That's exactly what I mean!" After he finished speaking, he picked up a bowl of potato jelly topped with honey, ready to eat.

Empress Changsun watched eagerly: "Your Majesty, you have to save some for my concubine to eat!"

Li Er couldn't laugh or cry: "Queen, here's another bowl of potato jelly!"

Only then did Empress Changsun realize that there was still a bowl of potato jelly in the brocade box, and she picked it up in embarrassment.

"Your Majesty, the concubine was too anxious just now, I missed it."

Li Er handed the potato jelly in his hand to Empress Changsun.

"Queen, let me give you this bowl!"

Empress Changsun happily took the potato jelly, blushing.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"

Li Er waved his hand and picked up another bowl of potato jelly.

"Queen, we are both old couples, don't be so polite haha!"

Princess Changshan put her hands on the table, crossed her chin, and said in a childish voice, "Father, Queen Mother, you two can show your affection in the room!"

Li Er patted Princess Changshan on the head and laughed heartily.

"Chang Shan, you are the princess I love the most, and you are jealous of your mother!"

Princess Changshan glared at Li Er.

"Hmph, father, you should hurry up and eat potato jelly!"

"Father, I'll eat it right away!" After Li Er finished speaking, he scooped up a spoonful of potato jelly and ate it. While eating, he commented, "This potato jelly is softer and more resilient than rice jelly, and it's very suitable for dessert after dinner. !"

After trying the potato jelly, Empress Changsun immediately agreed with Li Er: "What Your Majesty said is true, this potato jelly is much more delicious than rice jelly!"

Seeing that the potato jelly was well received by Li Er and Empress Changsun, Princess Changshan immediately brought out two bowls of beef and potato jelly, and said to Li Er, "Father and mother, this is brother Huan's new invention of potato jelly, hurry up and try it!"

After eating the potato jelly, Li Er immediately picked up the potato noodles covered with sliced ​​beef, and said in surprise, "I never thought that potatoes can be made into vermicelli. Isn't it similar to rice?"

Princess Changshan nodded.

"Father is right. Brother Huan said that potato flour can be dried and preserved, or preserved in the form of starch!"

Empress Changsun also picked up a bowl of potato flour topped with sliced ​​beef and ate it with relish.

"Your Majesty, potato flour is softer and more delicious than rice flour, and has toughness, so hurry up and try it!"

When Li Er heard what Empress Changsun said, he immediately gobbled up the potato noodles. The mountain of beef was swallowed by him in an instant.

"The queen is right, this potato flour is much tastier than rice flour!"

Empress Changsun also finished a bowl of beef and potato noodles in a blink of an eye. She burped and said with satisfaction: "It would be great if I could have a bowl of this beef and potato noodles every day!"

Princess Changshan was dumbfounded: "Father, why did you and the queen eat so fast?"

Li Er patted his stomach.

"Chang Shan, how much potato flour do you have left? Hurry up and bring it to me, I haven't had enough yet!"

Empress Changsun echoed: "Chang Shan, little Yuchi's house is full of potatoes, you must not be polite to him, take what you need!"

Princess Changshan couldn't laugh or cry.

"Father, mother, my son only has a few hundred catties of potato starch, and there is no potato flour, but if you like it, my son can make it for you on the spot!"

Li Erlong Yan Dayue: "Chang Shan, then today, Father will help you!"

Empress Changsun pulled up her sleeves to agree with Li Er.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is also a husband and wife today!"

"Father, mother, since you all said that, I will teach you how to make potato flour and potato jelly today!"

After Princess Changshan finished speaking, she returned to Changle Palace to get potato starch.

Li Er stared at the back of Princess Changshan leaving, and sighed: "Unexpectedly, the potatoes donated by Xiao Yuchi can not only be cooked and eaten, but also can be made into potato flour for preservation. If the people of the Tang Dynasty grow potatoes in every household, there will be no more famines." !"

Empress Changsun echoed Li Erdao: "Your Majesty, what you said is true. Potatoes are a godsend. When the potatoes in Shanglinyuan have a good harvest, we can spread potatoes to all the states in the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Er also felt the same way. He had high hopes for the potato fields in Shanglinyuan!
After half a stick of incense, Princess Changshan finally left and came back again. She ran into the Ganlu Hall and shouted: "Father, my son has brought potato starch!" barrel.

Li Er immediately got up to check the wooden barrel. When he saw that the wooden barrel was filled with white potato starch, he was surprised and delighted.

"Unexpectedly, potato starch is similar to yam starch!"

Empress Changsun agreed.

"Your Majesty, if these potato starches are dried, they can be stored for a long time!"

Li Erlong Yan Dayue looked at Princess Chang Shan: "Chang Shan, teach the royal chef how to make potato starch later!"

"The child obeys the order!"

Princess Changshan agreed to Li Er's request without hesitation!
Li Er will follow Princess Changshan to make potato flour and potato jelly!

Since the potato starch has already been prepared, it is much easier for Princess Changshan to make potato flour and potato jelly. It only took a stick of incense for her to make potato jelly!

Potato flour takes less time, and it is ready in less than half a stick of incense!

Li Er quickly learned how to make potato flour and potato jelly. He said triumphantly, "I can learn it as soon as I learn it. I really am a genius haha!"

Empress Changsun regretted: "It's a pity that there are too few potatoes, otherwise we can let all the people in Datang eat potato flour this year!"

Princess Changshan smiled sweetly.

"My queen, brother Huan said that the potatoes will be ripe in a few days, and then we will go to Shanglinyuan to dig potatoes!"

Li Er's eyes lit up, looking very interested.

"Chang Shan, potatoes are an auspicious gift from the Tang Dynasty, how can I miss the digging of potatoes?"

Princess Changshan nodded and said: "Father, when the time comes, I will take you and the queen mother to Shanglinyuan to dig potatoes!"
