Datang: Begin with Li Shimin as a father

Chapter 136

At noon.

A burst of sweet smell came from the kitchen.

The sky above the entire manor was enveloped by this fragrance.

Cheng Chumo, who was tired and sweating profusely, sniffed vigorously.

"Seventh brother, what's delicious for lunch?"

"In addition to pork and mutton, there are also big bowls of chicken and duck."

Li Gen knew that Chu Mo liked to eat meat, so he naturally liked it, and first reported the meat.

"Then what's so delicious about this sweet taste?"

"Sweet potatoes, I asked Chunmei and Chunlan to pick some small ones and put them in the pot to steam."

"It's delicious under the pot!"

After hearing Li Gen's words, Chu Mo nodded vigorously.

Since the ones under the pot are more delicious, Cheng Chumo naturally couldn't let the ones under the pot go.

As a result, after work was over, Cheng Chumo ran straight to the kitchen.

The bottom of the pot is full of pot ashes.

Cheng Chumo used the fire stick to pull and pull.

Hey, he pulled out a dozen or so black sweet potatoes of different sizes.

These sweet potatoes had been buried under the pot for a long time, and they were all roasted with a primer. They were all black and ugly, but they were full of fragrance.

Cheng Chumo touched it with his hand.

Although it is hot to the touch, it is very soft.

Grabbed one and tasted it while it was hot, but Cheng Chumo was in a tragedy.

Hot tears fell down.

This bastard is hotter than boiling water!
"Brother Chumo, are you familiar?"

A chubby little girl pushed the door open and entered.

It is Princess Changle.

"Lele, I think it must be familiar."

He heard footsteps outside.

Cheng Chumo said loudly.

Chang Le reached out and was about to grab the sweet potato with the black ball.

Cheng Chumo stopped it in time.

"Shh, I'll eat it later, it's too hot, don't you see that I'm still crying?"

Chang Le raised his head and looked silently at Cheng Chu.

Sure enough, his face was covered with tears from crying, and there were still tears pouring out at this moment.

"Brother Chumo, why are you crying?"

"What else can you cry about? I told brother Chu Mo a long time ago that he couldn't eat hot sweet potatoes in a hurry, but he just wouldn't listen."

Li Gen walked into the kitchen, looked at the sweet potatoes on the ground, and then at Cheng Chumo, and couldn't help laughing.

Crouching down, Li Gen picked up a sweet potato and moved his fingers lightly.

The sweet potatoes were split right away.

The golden flesh inside was exposed.

"Brother, why did the color change? Is the flesh of the fruit Lele ate just now white?"

The little girl looked puzzled, and Cheng Chumo also found this question, which was really weird.

After Li Gen's explanation, they finally knew that the flesh of the sweet potato would change color when it was heated and ripened.

The sweet taste made Changle swallow hard.

Li Gen took half of the split sweet potato in his hand, and carefully peeled off the dark skin, huh!He blew hot air hard, then handed it to Changle.

"Lele, be careful and eat slowly!"

"Ok!"

Chang Le happily took it, put it to his mouth and bit it lightly.

In an instant, the little girl's eyes narrowed.

"Brother, it's so sweet and delicious! It's much more delicious than raw!"

"Roasted sweet potatoes are good, but don't be greedy. You can eat two sweet potatoes of this size every day, but you can't eat too many."

After listening to Li Gen's advice, Chang Le agreed in one gulp.

"it is good!"

Li Gen himself picked up a sweet potato and began to taste it busily.

After eating a sweet potato, he looked down at the ground again.

Hey guys.

It's empty!
"Brother, it's not what Lele eats, it's all because of Brother Chu Mo!"

The little girl wiped her mouth vigorously, and pointed at Cheng Chumo, looking aggrieved.

Li Gen turned his head and looked at Cheng Chumo.

This guy's mouth is covered in black ash, and even his face is covered with paint all over his face.

.........

Five days later, Cheng Chumo set off on the road happily pulling a large cart of sweet potatoes.

"Brother Chumo, come back after eating, we have plenty of this stuff! Don't forget to give them some to try."

"Don't forget, I'll tell you what to say!"

"Hey, don't worry, seventh brother, I won't forget!"

Cheng Chumo turned his head and waved, and drove the carriage straight to Chang'an City.

"Father, I'm back!"

Cheng Chumo groaned, and directly blasted Cheng Yaojin out of the room.

"Ugly Cow, do you bring food back?"

"Father, look for yourself, there is a whole carriage, unfortunately, not all of them belong to our family."

"Brat, the thing that was brought to our house belongs to our old Cheng's family, and whoever the hell don't want to get my old Cheng's idea!"

"Ugly cow, how do you eat it?"

Cheng Yaojin looked at the carriage of sweet potatoes and instantly became full of energy.

"Father, the raw food is sweet and delicious, while the cooked food is soft, glutinous and sweet, making people have a long aftertaste and full of saliva!"

"Hey, you fucking pulled it up! I'll try a raw one first."

Cheng Yaojin grabbed a big one, went to the basin to wash it carefully, and then began to chew.

"Not bad, not bad. It's really crispy and sweet. If you say it's a fruit, I believe it."

"Ugly cow, what is the yield per mu?"

"Father's output is more than forty stones."

When Cheng Chumo's words fell to the ground, Cheng Yaojin collapsed on the ground on the spot.

"Father, are you alright? It's sunny and there's no thunder. Why are you so careless?"

Cheng Chumo quickly helped his father up.

"Ugly Cow, is it true that the yield per mu is more than forty shi?"

"My child has seen it with his own eyes and harvested it with his own hands. How can it be fake!"

"Hurry up and go into the palace with Dad, Your Majesty is still waiting for news from your kid!"

The father and son had just left the gate of Cheng Mansion, Cheng Chumo said.

"Father, let's go empty-handed like this? At least some sweet potatoes should be brought to His Majesty!"

Cheng Yaojin nodded when he heard the words, this time Chu Mo reminded him very rightly.

As a result, the father and son acted together.

Unload half of the sweet potatoes from the carriage in the mansion, and then drag the rest to the palace.

"Your Majesty, Su Guogong and his son are asking to see you!"

"Quick, let them in!"

Hearing the words of Li Delu, the chief servant, Li Shimin immediately spoke.

"Chen, Cheng Yaojin, bring the dog to see His Majesty."

"Zhijie, Chumo, sit down and talk."

When Cheng Chumo told Li Shimin the production of sweet potatoes.

Li Shimin was completely dumbfounded.

The yield per mu is more than forty stones.

This is an output that Li Shimin could not even imagine in his dreams.

As soon as this thing comes out, the era when the people of the Tang Dynasty could not eat enough will be gone forever!

"Chumo, have you asked Gen'er, do you intend to dedicate this sweet potato to the imperial court?"

"Your Majesty, there is no need to ask silently about this matter. What His Highness said is to save lives for the people! This sweet potato is to save the lives of the people. Your Highness said that this year's drought and locust plague are just the beginning, and next year it will be really powerful! "

"This sweet potato is not only drought-resistant, but also not afraid of locust plagues. It is the best species for the people to survive the disasters of the past two years."

"Your Highness, I am willing to donate all the sweet potatoes to practice the way of being an official for the life of the people during the imperial examination!"

call!
Li Shimin felt his eyes burning instantly.
