The Splendid Life of the Almighty Peasant Girl

Chapter 102
"What are these?"

The emperor watched Liang Youkuan mysteriously take out a lot of things.

Liang Youkuan pointed to a jar and said:

"Cousin, here are processed grapes, which can also be called canned food. Alas, although we have eaten grapes before, I didn't realize how sweet grapes are until I tasted ripe and fresh grapes.

Cousin, what we ate before was not very fresh, it was no longer tasty. "

The emperor stared at his cousin's small resentful eyes, and was stunned.

"Cousin, cousin, try this!
Fresh grapes, I can't bring them here, but this one is okay, it's just too few. "

While Liang Youkuan was talking, he asked someone to bring some small plates, took a spoon, and scooped out a little.

Knowing that his cousin would not harm him, the emperor took a sip and couldn't help nodding:
"good."

Liang Youkuan smiled and took out some dried sweet potatoes and two peanuts, yes it was two.

Liang Youkuan was helpless:
"Cousin, there are only more than 20 peanuts in total now, and I can only order two from the original owner for the emperor to taste."

The emperor was taken aback:
"these things?"

"Cousin, do these things taste good?"

The emperor savored the taste:
"Yes, these..."

"Cousin, that's why I came back in a hurry. Don't say anything else, but this dried sweet potato is made of sweet potatoes. It's what Eunuch Li took to the imperial dining room just now. Cousin knows that half an acre of land can How much do you produce?"

"How many?"

"Cousin, you can guess."

The emperor pondered for a moment, and said:
"How much more? It's about the same as wheat."

Liang Youkuan shook his head:
"Cousin, you guess boldly."

The emperor looked at his mysterious appearance, shook his head, and said:
"Is it possible that there is still a thousand catties?"

He shook his head, not believing it. After all, the land is good, and the yield of wheat produced is only five or six hundred catties per mu, which is beyond the sky.

Most of the harvest is four to five hundred catties.

The beam has width:
"Don't talk about my cousin, even I was shocked at the time. The man planted a lot, that is, half an acre of land, but he harvested almost two thousand catties. According to this calculation, one mu of land can produce four thousand Jin, cousin, do you think this thing is high-yield?"

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and the yield per mu was four thousand catties. If it is really so powerful, then it means...

Thinking of this, he quickly asked:

"Is that what you asked Xiao Li to send over?"

"Well, cousin, the roasted sweet potato is not so fast, but I just told them to cut it up and cook the porridge. It must be about the same time."

As soon as the emperor heard this, he hurriedly asked people to go to the imperial dining room to ask. Eunuch Li brought the people here after a while.

Eunuch Li personally carried the tray and put the bowl on the table. The emperor could not help feeling a little excited when he smelled the fragrance in the air.

He didn't think it was too hot anymore, so he picked up the spoon, blew on the small piece of sweet potato, and took a tentative bite, feeling surprised.

Liang Youkuan also took a bowl and started eating. The emperor looked at his delicious food and put down his manners.

Not long after, a bowl of sweet potato porridge bottomed out, and the emperor still had some unfulfilled desires.

Liang Youkuan hastily stopped and said:

"Cousin, there will be roasted sweet potatoes later, the roasted ones are the best."

emperor:

"When can I eat then?"

"It should be almost ready, Eunuch Li, you can ask someone to bring the small one. The big one may not be ready so soon, but the small one should be fine."

Eunuch Li looked at the roasted sweet potatoes, and the smell kept drilling into his nose, and he couldn't help swallowing, the smell was too tempting.

When Liang Youkuan saw the roasted sweet potatoes, he hurriedly brought one over. It was so hot that he turned his left hand over his right. After a while, he peeled off the skin, and a richer aroma came over his face.

The emperor couldn't help it either, picked up the sweet potatoes, and imitated Liang Youkuan, turning his left hand over his right.

"good to eat."

The emperor really understood it when he ate roasted sweet potatoes. It really fills his stomach, and the taste is really quite good.

If this is popularized, wouldn't the common people not have to go hungry, but, I don't know if it is good to plant?
Liang Youkuan looked at his cousin, knowing what he was thinking, and said slowly:

"This, you don't need fertile land, even saline-alkali land. Bad land can also be planted. It is said that sandy soil is better."

The emperor's eyes lit up, and he said eagerly:

"Ah Kuan, this, Ah Kuan, I don't care, what do you think of? Get more seeds, we will breed."

Liang Youkuan was helpless:
"Cousin, this sweet potato is still in the experiment. I only know that it can be planted by cutting it into sections. As for how to plant it next year? I still need to study it."

"However, cousin, don't worry too much. I believe she will find a better way next year."

The emperor's eyes flashed:
"Who is that person?"

"It's the person who discovered sweet potatoes and planted them. By the way, cousin, just now I asked Eunuch Li to take the things I brought back and go to the imperial dining room to make them. Later, cousin wants to taste what is delicious. delicacies?"

Youran is not here, if she were here, she would definitely say:
What delicious food is just some ordinary food, that is, no one else has eaten it.

What's more, You Ran doesn't think the ancient food is bad, on the contrary, she thinks that the ancient chef's skills are better, and they are all authentic, unlike the modern ones, which are full of various seasonings and additives.

At lunch time, the emperor finally found out about his cousin, without exaggerating, after the meal was removed.

"Ah Kuan..."

Liang Youkuan looked at his cousin seriously and said:
"Cousin, you know that I am the prefect of Jinzhou, but I don't want to be the prefect anymore."

"you……"

Liang Youkuan stretched out his hand to stop him, saying:

"Cousin, listen to me, cousin, I know that being the emperor is tiring for you, and I also know that cousin is a good emperor. I don't have much ability, but I also want to do my best.

The imperial court is already stable and there is no need for my cousin, so I want to go back to Jinzhou, but I hope my cousin will give me another identity.

I needed an identity that had no qualms, and an identity that would protect that family.

Because the child of that family is very smart, and has discovered a lot of edible things, and can even grow them.

Cousin, people depend on food, we need such talents. "

Liang Youkuan's solemn expression made the emperor understand his thoughts.

"The family...?"

"Speaking of that family, cousin, I have to have a good talk with you."

Liang Youkuan recounted what happened to the Lin family in detail.

After hearing this, the emperor was also shocked. There was more than one note about bag drop, and he couldn't help but feel sympathy for the Lin family.

When he heard about the county magistrate, the emperor praised Liang Youkuan for doing the right thing. What would such a county magistrate do?
The emperor thought about it for a long time, and decided to give Liang Youkuan a superior imperial envoy.

And give Shang Fang a sword, with the right to cut first and play later.

He also asked him to protect the Lin family and let Lin Youran concentrate on crop production.
