Sign in and get rich in farming

In just a few words, Yu Hongdou reached a verbal agreement with the future General of the Northwest.

However, these plans are still far away. Tan Langxun must arrive in the northwest and integrate into the military camp there before he can proceed to the next step.

"Why didn't you go out?" After finishing the business, Yu Hongdou asked them curiously.

Although Emperor Anhe stayed for the time being, he couldn't just sit there and wait for a reply. At least he had to take care of contacting his subordinates and serving them.

Before, Tan Yanlin said that he would take a walk around the surrounding area, and Yu Hongdou understood that he was here to set up defenses.

"It's boring to go out with them. Why don't we wait until Yu Song finishes the exam and then go together." Tan Yanlin shook his head.

It was enough for him to travel with his two brothers.

"What are you going to do?" He was more interested in what Yu Hongdou was going to do.

"I'm going to the kitchen to ask them to build a stove. When it's ready, we'll make roast duck, roast rabbit, and whole lamb." Yu Hongdou didn't mention the cake. That was a surprise she was preparing for her brother.

"That's great. I'll go with you to take a look. By the way, have you finished reading the book "Taste First" that I sent you before?" Tan Yanlin followed Yu Hongdou with his hands behind his back.

Tan Langxiu followed his brother and walked on the other side.

"I saw it, and only then did I realize that there are so many delicious foods. I have never eaten them. It's really sad." Yu Hongdou was angry when she mentioned this.

She really didn't expect that in ancient times, people were not only short of food and clothing, but also had nothing delicious to eat.

Even though the ingredients are scarce, gourmets in Greater China have still used all their imagination and creativity to develop countless delicious ways of eating them.

"I just heard that there is an ice cellar here. Why don't we try to make some ice-boiled lamb?" Tan Yanlin persuaded slowly and kindly.

"Ah, why didn't I think of that!" Yu Hongdou patted herself in surprise. Isn't this kind of weather perfect for eating hotpot?

They walked and talked and soon arrived at the kitchen. They were surprised to find that the oven had already been built.

"The master had previously instructed that the kitchen should build an oven. When Steward Duan came, Steward Ding asked him to tell him how to do it, and then found a craftsman to make two."

"We have also done some research and now we can make roast lamb, roast chicken, roast duck, etc. Lao Liu also made a kind of crispy meat brushed with honey, which tastes sweet but not greasy and crispy but not dry."

The kitchen manager was a little nervous when he saw the young lady and the distinguished guest in person, and he didn't dare to raise his eyes when he answered.

"Well done. I'll grill some crispy pork for lunch..." Yu Hongdou was overjoyed. Isn't this crispy pork belly?

There are so many talented people around her!

After instructing the kitchen to prepare ice-boiled lamb and crispy meat for lunch, and to serve with preserved egg and tofu, spinach with vinegar, wolfberries mixed with sugar, and two stir-fried seasonal vegetables.

Yu Hongdou looked at the two people following behind her, and simply asked someone to bring eggs and milk, and asked them to make baked milk together.

I thought these two seemingly ignorant and lazy young men would use the excuse of "a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen" to shirk their responsibilities, but not only did they not do so, they looked very interested.

Yu Hongdou slapped her forehead helplessly and simply asked Qian Sanmei to invite Emperor He and Tan Mengao to "play" together.

Otherwise, if Tan Mengao was left behind, he would start to talk nonsense again and make her restless.

Emperor An He and Tan Mengao are worthy of being grandparents and grandchildren, they came here happily.

The scene became a small classroom for Yu Hongdou, where she taught these guests, who had everything provided for them, how to cook.

In fact, in recent years, thanks to the increasing production of cow's milk and goat's milk in Zhuangzi, Yu Hongdou has already developed milk tablets and milk powder.

The idea of ​​making cheese candy was naturally also in the plan, but due to insufficient supply, Yu Hongdou did not make it.

Fortunately, baked milk does not require cheese, but can be replaced by starch, which has been on the market many years ago.

Now there are not only potato starch, sweet potato starch, wheat starch, but even corn starch on the market.

Yu Hongdou had watched an American fantasy science fiction TV series called "The Lost World" before. The primeval forest seemed to be a fragment of time and space, where characters from all ages and worlds appeared.

Sometimes Yu Hongdou has this illusion.

It is said that corn was presented by someone shortly after the founding of the Qi Dynasty. Soon after, corn began to be planted all over the country, and various foods made from corn flourished.

The other two major contributors to saving people from famine, sweet potatoes and potatoes, appeared earlier than corn.

"Corn is a good thing. Since the founding of the country, it has saved the stomachs and lives of countless people." Emperor An He sighed when he learned that one of the ingredients was corn starch.

His tone was full of complacency and pride. This could be considered as his achievement, which would surely be passed down through the ages in the future.

"Yes, corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes are really life-saving foods, but it's a pity that they are not promoted enough." Yu Hongdou also sighed.

If the promotion efforts had been strong enough, so many people would not have starved to death due to locust plagues in recent years.

"If we make food, there won't be enough seeds." Emperor An He was choked by Yu Hongdou's words. After reflecting on it, he nodded with great sorrow.

There is no way. The chaos has been quelled, but natural disasters have come again. The first thing that comes to mind is how to feed the people and keep them alive. No one can think about the future.

Yu Hongdou seemed to be thinking about something. She had several harvest talismans in her backpack. Maybe she could give some away to solidify her reputation as a "virtuous and kind person"?

Yu Hongdou shook her head and shook out her brain which was filled with holy water. It was too early to say this. She would consider it after she had the capital.

Yu Sanlang and Xu have already arrived at Yu Silang's home.

Yu Silang is now stationed in a military camp three miles outside the county, and he has two days off every month to go home.

Tian Manman was very famous in the city's restaurant and made friends with many gentry and officials' families.

Yu Sanlang and Xu came at an unfortunate time. Today, a young lady from an official family who had a good personal relationship with Tian Manman came to see Tian Manman.

After hearing that the third uncle and his sister-in-law had arrived, Tian Manman hurried out to greet them. The young lady took the opportunity to say goodbye and met Yu Sanlang and Xu.

Mrs. Xu accidentally raised her head and glanced at the young lady, and her expression changed instantly.

The young lady glanced at Yu Sanlang and Xu, with a hint of contempt in her eyes.

Turning around, she smiled and invited Tian Manman: "I'll invite you to my house some other day. My grandma is missing you telling her stories."

Tian Manman agreed with a smile and watched the young lady get into the car before turning around to greet her third uncle and his wife.

Yu Sanlang and Xu chatted with Tian Manman for a while, explained the purpose of their visit, and then had nothing else to say.

Yu Sanlang was thinking about whether to say goodbye, but Xu was sitting there in silence. There was a moment of awkwardness between the three of them. Tian Manman was about to ask someone to bring the child out to ease the atmosphere when he suddenly heard Xu ask, "Sister-in-law, who was that young lady just now..."

Xu hesitated for a moment, then suddenly looked up at her younger brother and sister-in-law: "Is the surname of that young lady Xu?"
