Just when Li Anran started pretending to be a chef to teach people how to cook potatoes, and the harvest work in the fields was also in full swing, no, it should be in full swing, Cheng Chusi was stunned when he received the news.

.

"Two...two hundred stones?!" Looking at the men who came to report the news fiercely, Cheng Chusi asked: "Are you sure you didn't read or hear wrongly? It's really two hundred stones and not two stones?!"

"I dare to pledge my head for my humble position. This time the yield of potatoes per mu will be two hundred shi instead of two shi." The nurse, who was also excited by the news he received before, almost held a knife across his neck to show his attitude.

.

Faced with this answer guaranteed by his life, although Cheng Chusi still found it difficult to completely believe it, he also knew very well that his subordinates would never dare to talk nonsense on such a matter.

Cheng Chusi, who was well aware of how important and serious this matter was, immediately ignored his duty as a guard and hurried towards the potato field with the messenger among his two close men.

Before he even got close to the field, he was already hit in the head by the potatoes piled up like hills in the open space beside the field. However, this blow was a good one for Cheng Chusi.

, well played!

As soon as he arrived at the scene, Cheng Chusi got the specific yield per mu from Wang Youde, whose eyes were still a little red. Looking at the record of more than 20,000 kilograms, he was shocked and excited, but still not satisfied.

If you dare to do this, report it.

He immediately arranged for one of his confidants to camp nearby, euphemistically calling it training. Of course, in fact, he sent a message to the training barracks to send a team of troops over there.

After the news was sent, the barracks, who thought something was wrong in the villa, sent people to the place without saying a word. However, the order they received was not to fight with others, but to take off their armor and put down their sabers.

, put on farm tools and started doing farm work.

Although the captain of the neighboring soldiers also knew that he had to obey orders, he couldn't help but ask about this arrangement. After learning that the yield of potatoes harvested now could reach 200 shi per acre, the captain who almost starved to death when he was a child

Lieutenant, a pair of tiger eyes suddenly turned red like Wang Youde.

After the entire acre of potato field was dug out by these soldiers at an extremely fast speed, and the specific weights were weighed one by one, Cheng Chusidu confirmed again and again that the two hundred stone per acre did not contain any moisture.

Before he could issue a new order, he was startled by the captain who suddenly burst into tears.

As the saying goes, a man won't shed tears easily, but he has not yet reached the sad point.

As the captain's cry rang out, it didn't take long. Not only the soldiers were crying a lot. Even the old and young men who were busy working in the fields began to wipe their hands again.

Tears.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in chaos and war was raging. I don’t know how many people either changed their children to eat or died in a foreign country because there was no food. How could the sadness, blood and tears in it not resonate.

It was precisely because Cheng Chusi, who knew how much his subordinate had suffered, did not blame the other party for crying invisibly. He just patted the other party on the shoulder, then turned around and issued two new orders.

.

The first order was very simple, put two baskets of newly dug potatoes, and prepare two of the best horses in the barracks. The second order was to have the barracks and the nursing home unite to unite the entire Xiaoyao Villa.

They were all surrounded, trying to ensure that no information would be leaked, at least not until I reported the news this time.

After the second order was carried out, Cheng Chusi led a team of men and horses, guarding the two baskets of potatoes placed on the aerial horse, and flew towards Chang'an.

When he received the news from Wang Youde about Cheng Chusi's order, Li Anran, who was preparing a potato feast in the kitchen, was a little unhappy, but he was not surprised at all. The yield per mu is two hundred shi, don't worry.

It was said to be in the Tang Dynasty, but even in modern time and space, it is enough to cause a big sensation.

This kind of high-yielding grain, which can control the power of a country, cannot be compared with gold and jewelry. In addition, he originally wanted to use high-yielding crops to accelerate the change of the time and space of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, he was unhappy, but Li Anran did not

He was not angry because of Cheng Chusi's behavior.

As the saying goes, a gentleman takes revenge ten years later, while a villain takes revenge from morning to night. Write down the account first, and there will be time and opportunity to recover the situation later.

After sending Wang Youde away, Li Anran, who was interrupted in the process of making the potato feast, continued to work in the kitchen.

Potatoes can not only be used for cooking, but can also be used as a staple food. For example, after peeling and dicing potatoes, steam them in a pot, then mash them into a puree with tools, and finally pass them through a strainer by pressing them.

, coupled with corresponding seasonings, you can make mashed potatoes with different flavors.

If mashed potatoes are not considered a staple food, then noodles and vermicelli made from potatoes into powder, coupled with different cooking methods, can definitely be regarded as delicious, nutritious, and filling.

staple food.

However, compared to these ways of eating potatoes, the cooking method that impressed Li Anran the most was a dish. A famous dish from all over the country, potato stew.

The meat here can be beef, pork, chicken, goose, or rabbit. As long as you are willing to try it, basically what kind of meat goes with anything that flies in the sky, runs on the ground, or swims in the water.

Either way.

In order to experience the taste of potatoes that have become much larger in size and have a frighteningly high yield after time travel, and also to enrich the future recipes of his restaurant, just the potato stew dish, Li

An Ran stewed it in six pots with different ingredients.

Later, I also made several Western-style dishes related to potatoes that I learned while staying abroad some time ago. Among them, the most popular dish for Li Anran is the baked mashed potatoes with cheese and roasted roots.

After personally cooking more than 20 Chinese and Western dishes and staple foods related to potatoes, Li Anran became very good at cooking for a while, and also made two dishes that are no less popular in later generations than potato stew and spicy and sour potato shreds.

Two famous snacks were also made.

Use professional kitchen utensils to cut the potatoes into pieces of suitable size into long strips, then put them in the pan with butter and boil them for a while, then take them out and dry them, put them in the freezer to freeze, and then throw them into the oil pan.

Deep fried to golden brown and sprinkled with a little salt, they become the most common delicious French fries in Western fast food restaurants.

If you cut large pieces of potatoes into thin slices, marinate them in different flavors of seasoning water, and then put them in the oven to dry and crisp, you will have potato chips with rich flavors. And they are non-fried, that is, Tastier and healthier.

After Li Anran racked his brains to cook all the potato-related dishes, staple foods and snacks that he knew how to cook, he finally did not forget the farmers and soldiers who were still in the fields trying to harvest the harvest.

In line with the principle that having fun alone is not as good as having fun together, and because this incident is completely in line with the meaning of "happy big rush", I asked Butler Wang to give a sling of money as a reward to every banker who participated in the collection work.

As for the soldiers, they could only apologize. It was not that Li Anran was reluctant to part with the reward, but that he did not want to make the same mistake as Shen Wansan. They were the troops of the True Dragon Emperor, and giving money randomly could easily lead to misunderstandings.

In addition to the reward, Li Anran also asked Zhao Qian, who had just learned the cooking methods of the dishes, staple foods and snacks, to lead a group of cooks to cook the potato stew in a half-try and half-practice manner. The meat is cooked in batches.

It is necessary to ensure that every household can get a large bowl of potato stew, so that these hard-working farmers can taste this kind of "auspiciousness" that is both delicious and nutritious, and has high yields even if they are full. What a taste.

This time, Li Anran did not treat them differently. Except for the villagers, no matter whether it was the nursing home or the soldiers stationed in the barracks not far away, everyone had a share. As for the servants in the manor, naturally it was even more important. Needless to say.

Just when the entire Xiaoyao Villa was immersed in the joy of harvest and delicious food, Cheng Chusi had already brought the two baskets of potatoes that were guarded at all levels to the inner hall of the Chang'an City Palace.
