The cannon fodder through the book will live to the end

When Tao Anran brought the cooked hot and sour potato shreds and several other dishes to the table, Xiao Jingyu was having the potatoes weighed.Seeing this, Tao Anran also walked over to have a look.He also wondered how many potatoes had been harvested.

One person took out a long scale, one end of the scale hooked up the basket full of potatoes, and the other end put the weight on it.As the basket is lifted, the weights begin to move until the beam is balanced.At this time, look at the marks on the scale beam, and you can know how many catties a basket of potatoes weighs.

Tao Anran watched from the side, a basket full of potatoes weighed about forty catties, and there were five baskets in total.It's just that the two later baskets were not as full, and the potatoes were a little less.Together with the potatoes used in the kitchen today, a total of about 180 catties of potatoes were harvested.

Tao Anran remembered that when he planted potatoes in spring, the germinated seeds he picked out at that time weighed only twenty catties.It is also necessary to remove the broken seeds that did not grow in the ground. The seeds that actually grow are estimated to be only a dozen catties.But now it's paid off almost tenfold.

In addition to choosing fertile land, Guanshi Zhao's careful care is also indispensable.When he was away, Manager Zhao helped manage the fertilization and weeding.So Tao Anran decided to send some potatoes to Zhao Guanshi to taste later.

After Xiao Jingyu got the exact number, he couldn't believe it.He had seen the potatoes being dug out of the ground with his own eyes.That piece of land looked only one or two cents in size.can harvest so many potatoes.How many potatoes can be harvested if an acre of land is planted with these potatoes?

Even Xiao Jingyu couldn't imagine that number.

Xiao Jingyu asked the potatoes to be put aside, and after calming down, he looked at the princess and asked, "Of course, are the potatoes ready?"

Tao Anran quickly regained consciousness, pulled Xiao Jingyu to the table, pointed to the hot and sour potato shreds and said, "My lord, this is the hot and sour potato shreds. Try it quickly."

When Xiao Jingyu heard this, he picked up a chopstick of potato shreds under his expectant gaze.Looking at it with the eyes, the roots of this potato are distinct, it smells sour, and the taste is hot and sour and crispy.

Tao Anran looked at Xiao Jingyu who was still savoring, and quickly asked, "How is it? Is it delicious?"

Xiao Jingyu thought for a while and replied: "The taste is hot and sour and crispy, it's really good. But it's just a little novel, and it's not so lingering."

After finishing speaking, he looked at the princess, as if he was wondering if this was not as delicious as you said!

Tao Anran looked at him, slandering in his heart that maybe he had exaggerated Tudou and made Xiao Jingyu lift Tudou too high in his heart.Then after trying, there was a psychological gap.

Tao Anran quickly explained: "My lord, this hot and sour potato shreds is just a home-cooked dish. The taste is naturally not that exaggerated. But this dish is also good, that is, it goes well with rice."

Xiao Jingyu heard that eating with potato shreds sandwiched between them really whetted his appetite.

The two of them were halfway through eating, and Xiao Jingyu suddenly asked, "However, you said that these potatoes can not only be made into dishes, but also be used as a staple food. Is this true?"

Tao Anran kept talking while nodding in response.He was so busy today that he was almost starving to death.

Xiao Jingyu continued to ask: "Then how should I eat it as a staple food? Is it steamed like rice or should it be ground into powder and eaten like noodles?"

Tao Anran looked at him, swallowed the food in his mouth and said: "It's fine. If you're afraid of trouble, you can just wash it and cook it in water, steam it in water, or bake it in the fire. That's right, I also buried a few potatoes under the stove in the kitchen, we'll eat them later."

Xiao Jingyu got an affirmative answer, and then asked: "However, this potato should have been planted in spring, and it will take three or four months to harvest it now. Is there anything to pay attention to when planting potatoes? Can other people grow it too?"

Tao Anran put down the hand holding the vegetables, probably understood what he meant.He asked: "My lord, do you want to promote the cultivation of potatoes?"

Xiao Jingyu nodded heavily, "That's right, I have this plan. The potatoes are high-yield and can be used as a staple food. If they are planted on a large scale, I'm afraid there will be no famine in the future."

Tao Anran looked at Xiao Jingyu who seemed to be imagining the future, and was really embarrassed to pour cold water on it.But he still wanted to say: "My lord, I also agree with your point of view. It's just that we don't have so many seeds now."

Xiao Jingyu was woken up by a basin of cold water on the spot, and he came back to realize that this was indeed the case.It is impossible to promote it on a large scale with only two hundred catties of potatoes.

Xiao Jingyu smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "I was too impatient, and Ran Ran laughed."

Tao Anran looked at his appearance, and quickly comforted him: "Although we can't promote it now, after we harvest more potatoes, we will naturally be able to plant them on a large scale. And we will be able to plant another crop of potatoes in two months. I have harvested so many potatoes at one time, and it is estimated that I can plant about one mu of land. With careful care, I can harvest about two thousand catties. Then I will plant two more crops next year, and it is estimated that it will be gradually popularized."

"Two thousand catties." Xiao Jingyu murmured to himself. Although he had estimated that much before, he still couldn't believe it.Now that the princess is saying the same thing, it's probably true.Moreover, potatoes can be planted twice a year. By this time next year, the harvested potatoes will probably fill the yard.

Thinking of such a scene, Xiao Jingyu couldn't help but bend his mouth more and more.He was not in the mood to eat the meal, so he quickly asked someone to carry the potatoes to a secret place for storage.Just waiting for two months to continue planting.

When Tao Anran saw that he had ordered the potatoes to be carried away and hid them, as if nothing was left behind, Tao Anran was also anxious.He quickly shouted: "My lord, don't take it all away, save some for me to cook!"

Xiao Jingyu heard the sound, looked at the potatoes in the basket, and then at the princess, so he had to take a few potatoes out of the basket.However, seeing the obvious dissatisfaction of the princess, he tried to persuade him: "Of course, these potatoes are of great use. Now the grain yield per mu is only about 350 catties, and these potatoes can produce two thousand catties per mu. We need to save more seeds." Let’s save a few for cooking this time, okay?”

Tao Anran is not unreasonable, especially when he knows that the grain yield per mu is only over 300 catties.Potatoes are nothing more than a dish and a snack to him, but to others they are a staple food that can fill their stomachs.It's just that I can only eat a few of the potatoes I planted so hard, and I feel a little unhappy.

But he still took the few remaining potatoes and sighed: "Remember to store the potatoes in a place away from light and ventilation, so that they can germinate easily. And choose fertile and soft land for planting. If the land has been planted with potatoes before, You have to plant them in another place. You can ask Manager Zhao for the rest of the care and planting methods, he raises potatoes very well."

Xiao Jingyu looked at the concubine who was admonishing her carefully, with soft eyes, and said, "Of course, I have written down what I said, thank you for your understanding. When I go back, let the kitchen in the mansion make some fresh cherry sweets to make up for you, okay?"

Tao Anran glanced at him upon hearing this, cleared her throat and said, "It's not too bad."

Xiao Jingyu looked at the princess who had regained her smile, and laughed silently in her heart.The princess is always easy to be satisfied, sometimes cook him some delicious food, and he will immediately forget his troubles.Although he was somewhat envious of such a simple and happy person, he was even more grateful that he was his princess.

It is obviously inappropriate to put something like potatoes on the Zhuangzi where people come and go.Before he can really promote it, he has to slowly accumulate seeds.The last promotion will be effective.

After Xiao Jingyu made some arrangements, he was ready to return.As soon as he turned his head, he saw the princess boarding the carriage with something in her arms.But he didn't pay attention, and then got into the carriage.

When they came today, they came here in a carriage together, so Tao Anran knew that they would also ride in a carriage together when they went back.So when Xiao Jingyu got in the car again, he peeled a baked potato first, and gave it to him directly when he got in the car.

Xiao Jingyu looked at the peeled bumps in front of him and recognized them as potatoes.Looking at the charcoal-like potatoes in the corner, he realized that the princess was probably carrying these baked potatoes.

He took the baked potatoes and asked, "Is this the baked potatoes that Ranran talked about?"

Tao Anran nodded. While peeling the potatoes with great effort, he said: "I prepared it as a snack after dinner. But you have been busy, and you didn't even eat well. Now eat it while it's hot, so as not to waste time." Hungry afterwards."

Xiao Jingyu couldn't help being taken aback, because he noticed that he didn't eat much, so he peeled a potato for himself?Comparing the potato in his hand with the remaining potatoes, Xiao Jingyu found that the potato in his hand should be regarded as the biggest potato.

This feeling of being silently cared about made his heart softer.He nibbled the potato in his hand, and the mouthfeel was soft, which was different from the potato shreds before.However, this way of eating is obviously more filling.

Xiao Jingyu ate a baked potato in a few mouthfuls, and then was handed another potato.He quickly took it, and after eating three baked potatoes, he felt a little full.

When the princess handed over the fourth baked potato, Xiao Jingyu quickly refused, "Of course, I'm already full. You've been busy peeling me, so you haven't eaten much. You can eat this."

Seeing that he was indeed full, Tao Anran bit off the potato in his hand.There were not many potatoes in total. He had only tasted one before, but later he was afraid that he would be hungry, so he prepared to eat them all.Now that he is full, the last one is just enough to eat by itself.

Tao Anran ate the soft and dense potatoes, her body swayed with the sway of the carriage.His face was slowly stained with some carbon dust.Until he finished eating the potatoes in his hands, he seemed to have grown two mustaches, but he didn't know it himself.

Xiao Jingyu looked at all this and reminded with a light smile: "Of course, your face..."

Tao Anran looked puzzled, "What's wrong with my face?" After speaking, he touched it with his hand, and now it has completely turned into a cat face.

Xiao Jingyu couldn't help laughing at the princess who didn't know it yet.Finally, he took out a cloth towel, leaned forward, and wiped it gently.
