The cannon fodder through the book will live to the end

Tao Anran looked at Xiao Jingyu's actions and tilted her head, a little confused.This feeling is a bit like the boss giving some money to the technical backbone, so that the technical backbone recruits and expands production capacity, and then the boss just pulls away the results.

Thinking about it this way, Tao Anran seemed to understand a little bit.This Xiao Jingyu looks like a black-hearted capitalist!The key is to make people suffer and still be grateful to him.

Xiao Jingyu saw Wang Hao staring at him in a daze, and quickly asked concerned: "Of course, what are you thinking?"

Tao Anran came back to her senses, of course she couldn't directly speak out the slander in her heart.He knew it now, Xiao Jingyu was very careful.

Before, he was just punished to eat a lot of vegetarian dishes, so he found a place in bed at night.How Tao Anran gloated at the table during the day and regretted it in bed at night.Obviously Xiao Jingyu accepted the punishment willingly, but he was the one who was injured in the end.

So this time Tao Anran smiled lightly and said: "I was thinking that the weather is really hot. Lord, are you thirsty, let's go to the village to drink some water."

Xiao Jingyu didn't expose the princess' cover-up, after all, the princess's expression was always easy to guess.He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and replied: "It's really hot. The next time my concubine goes out, remember to ask the people around you to bring a fan, so as to give you a little cool breeze. Now go back to the Zhuangzi to rest."

Tao Anran nodded, walked quickly a few steps, then turned around and said to Xiao Jingyu who was still there: "Let's hurry up, so we can rest in the village early and drink some water."

Xiao Jingyu hurriedly followed.

The attendants around him naturally followed the master, and they all started to move quickly, and soon arrived in Zhuangzi.

After all, old Wutou was getting old, so he and Wu Laoer walked slowly behind.Taking advantage of the fact that no one noticed them at this time, the father and son looked at each other without eyes.

Wu Laoer asked excitedly: "Father, does the lord mean that we take people to build waterwheels? This way others will know that we made the waterwheels."

Old Wutou also said happily: "I think that's what it means. The prince will never lie to us little people. And I guess there are still many waterwheels to be built. After all, the Northwest is so big. It's just the two of us. It’s too slow to build a waterwheel. Next we will recruit people, first of all, the carpenters in the city. Especially that old Li Tou, if he sees my waterwheel, he will definitely bow down.”

Wu Lao Er went on to say: "Father, we will recruit more people when we go back. When there are more water trucks, we will be like Liu Lao Si in the future. Who doesn't know us on the road and doesn't call us by name?" Master Wu."

Old Wutou also began to imagine that day, so they were really proud.So while the father and son were having fun, they wished they could hire someone to make a water truck right away.

Back on Zhuangzi, Tao Anran drank a cup of herbal tea first.And without sunlight, it will be cool after sitting down and resting in the house.

After resting for a while, Tao Anran finally remembered to dig potatoes.He found Zhao Liuzi who was busy arranging people to guard the waterwheel, and asked him to find some farmers to dig potatoes.Zhao Liuzi hurriedly arranged for three farmers to dig potatoes in the field with hoes and baskets.

Seeing this, Tao Anran quickly called Xiao Jingyu, "My lord, come quickly, didn't you say that you want to see my cash cow?"

Xiao Jingyu, who had just cooled down in the room, heard the call, but had no choice but to get up and follow the princess, and went to the field.He was also really curious about what the money tree was.It seems that today we can finally see the true colors of the cash cow.

Several people went to the field, and Tao Anran watched the potato branches and leaves start to turn yellow and dry.He came closer, grabbed a branch and bent down and pulled it out vigorously, but he couldn't pull it up.The ground was too tight for him to move.It was still Xiao Jingyu who couldn't see it, walked over, grabbed the branch and gently pulled it out, and brought out a few potatoes covered in mud.

Xiao Jingyu looked at the lump in his hand and said with a smile: "Is this Ranran's cash cow? I think it looks more like a lump of dirt. But even if it's a cash cow, of course you don't have to do it yourself, just let someone else do it."

Tao Anran looked at the effortless Xiao Jingyu, ignored the ridicule in his words, and only focused on Tudou.Although the beans are not big in size, they fall off easily, and it seems that they are ripe.

Tao Anran glanced at Xiao Jingyu and refused to speak to him.Then he directed the farmers to pull up the potatoes first, and then the people next to them picked up the potatoes into the basket.Finally, use the hoe to carefully dig the ground, and don't miss the missed potatoes.

Xiao Jingyu threw away the lump of soil in his hand, but still didn't understand its function.But the princess ignored him, he understood.

He leaned over to the princess and asked, "But, what's the use of these lumps? They don't look edible."

Tao Anran glanced at him, and didn't want to talk to him at first, but he actually looked down on Tudou.This is a potato, the potato he has missed for a long time.Whether it is tolerable or unbearable, let him introduce it.

Tao Anran immediately said: "My lord, these potatoes are very useful. Not only can they be used as a staple food, but they can also be used for cooking. For cooking, there are hot and sour potato shreds, stewed pork ribs with potatoes, chicken nuggets with potatoes, stewed beef with potatoes, and dry pot potatoes." , spicy potato chips, mashed potatoes, potato cakes, as well as French fries, potato tarts, potato flour, etc."

The more Tao Anran talked, the more she felt that the corners of her mouth were drooling.He touched the corner of his mouth secretly, but fortunately he didn't drool, otherwise it would be embarrassing.

Xiao Jingyu knew that the potatoes should be delicious just by listening to the list of menus and the longing expression of the princess.Although he didn't pay much attention to appetite, he couldn't help wondering what the potatoes tasted like.

At the beginning, there were not many seeds, and the land occupied was not much, so the potato shoots were quickly pulled out.The picked potatoes alone filled three large baskets.There is also the rest of the ground that has not yet been dug.Tao Anran hastily asked someone to carry the full basket back, and brought over two empty baskets.

Seeing this, Xiao Jingyu's expression gradually changed.He couldn't help but look at the potatoes seriously.Such a small piece of land can harvest so many potatoes.Although it has not been weighed yet, the three big baskets are full, and it is estimated that there are more than 100 catties.Not to mention that there are still things in the ground that have not been dug.

Next, Xiao Jingyu's gaze was fixed on the land, watching the farmer hoeing the ground.Occasionally, when he sees a potato that has been accidentally dug up, he will frown and his eyes will be cold.

Tao Anran watched him staring bitterly at the broken potatoes, wondering if he thought they were going to be thrown away, so he was reluctant.

So Tao Anran quickly said: "These potatoes that were accidentally dug up, we will wash them, burn them and eat them when we get back."

Xiao Jingyu looked at the potatoes that had been dug up badly. The marks of the hoe on them were too big, and the potatoes were all cracked.He couldn't help frowning and asked, "Can these still be eaten?"

Tao Anran also looked at the potatoes, and said as a matter of course: "Of course you can eat them! Just wash off the mud, cut off the injured parts, peel and cut the rest into pieces, and roll them in the pot, and the potatoes will taste good again." All the same. Who knew it was a bruised potato."

Xiao Jingyu thought about it silently, and felt that what Wang Hao said seemed to make sense.

However, there were still three farmers hoeing in a palm-sized area, so they quickly turned over the land.The remaining potatoes in the field were picked up, even the ones the size of stones were not spared.The two baskets brought over from behind were almost full.

Tao Anran looked at the potatoes in the basket. Although they were small in size, the output was not too much, which was incomparable to before.But fortunately, I can finally eat potatoes.

With a big wave of his hand, he quickly asked people to take all the potatoes back.As for the wounded potatoes, he put them on top of the basket.When I get back to Zhuangzi, let the kitchen fry a few plates of potato shreds, so that everyone can try it.

After the potatoes are finished, it is not too early.They set out from the mansion in the morning, almost half of the time was on the road, half of the time was spent installing waterwheels, and then they were busy harvesting potatoes.Soon it was time to eat.

Back at Zhuangzi, Tao Anran looked at Xiao Jingyu who was at the side, and asked, "My lord, are you hungry?"

Xiao Jingyu looked at the sun and replied: "It's really late, it's time to eat. The kitchen should have already prepared the food. It seems that this meal will not taste like potatoes."

Tao Anran said quickly after hearing this: "It's very fast to fry potato shreds. I'll go to the kitchen and tell them to make hot and sour potato shreds first. I guarantee it will taste like you haven't tasted before."

After he finished speaking, he was about to take the potatoes to the kitchen first, but Bai Lu Hanlu hurriedly chased after him and said, "Princess, let us go to the kitchen, you go back and rest first."

Tao Anran said without looking back: "You have never eaten potatoes, so you don't know how to cook them. Let me go. If you are tired, go rest and drink some water."

How can the master be busy and the servants rest.Bai Lu Han Lu quickly followed the princess to the kitchen.

The food in Zhuangzi pays attention to freshness. Every time Tao Anran comes here, as long as he is not busy, he will have a meal before leaving.So he is also very familiar with where the kitchen is.

He walked to the kitchen in a familiar way, and sure enough, he saw that several dishes had been prepared on the table.The aunt who was in charge of the spoon in the kitchen was a little nervous when she saw him coming, for fear that something might have gone wrong.

Seeing this, Tao Anran quickly stood aside and gave instructions. He asked people to wash and scrape the potatoes first, cut off the muddy parts, and shred the rest for later use.

With things to be busy, the people in the kitchen couldn't care less about being nervous, and hurriedly followed the orders.The shredded potatoes could be cut through a needle.Tao Anran admired the chef's knife skills, and at the same time hurriedly asked people to put the remaining potatoes directly into the stove to bury them in ashes and roast them.With this knife skill, all the potatoes don’t need to be shredded.A few potatoes can fry a large plate, which is enough for them to eat.

Shred the potatoes and run through the water again.Then heat the oil in a pan, put potato shreds and chili vinegar, stir-fry on high heat, roll in the pan, stir-fry until fragrant, add salt, and finally put it on a plate.

A hot and sour potato shreds is ready so quickly.Tao Anran first took a piece of potato shreds into his mouth. Although the taste seemed to be slightly different, it was the same taste as he remembered.

It's not easy for him to eat potatoes at last!Not to mention asking people to find seeds, but it takes several months from sowing to harvesting!Thinking about it this way, he would be moved by himself, and he worked very hard to get potatoes.
