Chapter 537 537. Let’s dig and dig together

As the weather gets hotter and hotter, the crops in the fields are growing well, which can be said to be different day by day.

The potato harvest season has ushered in the suburbs of Beijing. This wave of high-yielding crops planted by wealthy families was already eye-catching, and now news of the harvest has spread throughout the streets.

The courtiers who had obtained the seeds years ago rushed to their village in the suburbs, wanting to see with their own eyes whether potatoes could achieve a yield of three to four thousand kilograms per mu.

Today this village harvests, and tomorrow the output per mu will be spread throughout the capital. The other families are not willing to lag behind and join the harvest army, vowing to compete. The capital suddenly fell into a wave of competition.

"I don't know what the competition is, and they didn't plant it themselves."

Qin Zheng, who was also digging potatoes in the field, snorted disdainfully. After staying in the Hanlin Academy for a long time, he became more and more disdainful of the behavior of the officials in the DPRK and the Central Committee.

"I want to resign and go home to sell fruit wine!"

"I'm afraid the imperial concubine will be the first to refuse."

Yu Heting laughed while pulling the potatoes, "Brother Qin, just stay in the Hanlin Academy."

"Hey, why on earth does my aunt want me to be an official?"

As a result, he is not free at all.

If Shen Xingluo and Yu Heting were not still in the Hanlin Academy, he would have given up his career long ago.

"Brother Qin, thank you for your hard work."

Yu Heting chuckled again when he heard this.

There are five princes under the imperial concubine's knees, so how can a relative of the Qin family stay out of the matter? No matter whether the fifth prince wants that position or just wants to protect himself, the more power the Qin family has, the more powerful it will be.

Could Qin Zheng not know the reason?

But you know, the discomfort of having your freedom restricted is real.

"Shen Xingluo, I will work for you today. You need to eat delicious food for lunch!"

"Did I ask you to come?"

"Even if I come here by myself, I can't ignore the food!"

Qin Zheng put his hands on his hips, "I don't care, I want to eat delicious food, I want a table of delicious food!"

Shen Xingluo was too lazy to talk to him and just bagged the dug potatoes and moved them to the field.

These two people were not the only ones who came to the Shen family's village. Qu Shaojing also dragged his family over after learning the news. Shen Xingqi's little sisters had already been eyeing the Shen family's potatoes. At this time, people stopped outside the village. with four or five carriages.

There will be a feast.

But today's meal was different from the past, with potatoes taking up most of the meal.

Cheng Xi handed over the regular dishes to Wang Shu and the two maids in the kitchen. When Wang An delivered the baskets of potatoes, she and Shen Xingqi concentrated on putting them away.

"Pick out a few small ones and steam them in a pot later to make mashed potatoes."

"What about these big ones? Shred them or cut them into cubes?"

"Cut it in half and cut out some thick strips."

"okay."

Shen - Networm - Xingqi understood instantly and knew what her sister-in-law was going to cook as soon as she heard it.

Each potato was quickly divided into two parts. The ones as big as duck eggs were washed and steamed in a pot, and the fist-sized ones were washed, peeled and cut. After a while, pieces were separated on the chopping board, golden and bright.

Hot and sour potato shreds, potato shredded cakes, pork ribs stewed with potatoes, chopped pepper potato slices, potato stewed beef brisket, ground three delicacies, crucible potato slices, French fries, wolf tooth potatoes.
The aroma continued to waft from the kitchen, and the air suddenly filled the air.

Cheng Xi handed over most of the work and cooked new dishes that no one had ever tasted.

Mash the steamed potatoes into a puree, use part of it to make salty black pepper mashed potatoes, and the remaining part to make sweet salad mashed potatoes.

Noon soon arrived, and the sun in the sky was getting hotter and hotter. The boys brought by Wang An and Qin Zheng were digging potatoes in the fields without any problems, and they quickly packed up the potatoes.

"Oh my god, there is actually more than 4,000 kilograms of output!"

Qin Zheng's face and body were covered with dirt, as if he had just emerged from the ground, which was no worse than the potatoes in his hands.

Yu Heting was even more excited than him. His hands holding a large pole were trembling with excitement as if he had Parkinson's disease, and his eyes were red. “I only know that potatoes are a high-yielding product, but it’s only when I see it with my own eyes that I realize how real it is.”

He was born in poverty, and he still vividly remembers how hungry he was when he was a child. He understands what potatoes mean to the people.

Yu Heting put down the weight, put his hands together and saluted Shen Xingluo solemnly.

"Brother Shen, you deserve to be worshiped by everyone in the world."

This bow was his respect for Shen Xingluo as a citizen of Great Yan.

Shen Xingluo turned aside slightly and said, "Brother Yu is serious. You and I are common people when we serve as officials in the dynasty. We have our responsibilities."

Yu Heting was stunned and smiled silently.

"Hey, what are you two doing?"

The eldest young master Qin Zheng looked at the two people looking at each other inexplicably. His right hand, which was stained with mud, subconsciously scratched the sweat on his cheek, adding another messy mark to his big painted face.

"nothing.

"Brother Qin, Mrs. Shen must have prepared wine and food waiting for us."

The two of them headed towards Zhuangzi, leaving Qin Zheng alone muttering in confusion.

"What are you doing? What are you doing, acting like a master?"

Haven't told him yet.

Hum ╭(╯^╰)╮

***
"Wow, are these potatoes?"

"Oh my God, there are too many!"

"It smells so good. It tastes delicious as soon as you smell it. It turns out that potatoes are not only delicious, but they are also delicious?"

Everyone sat down together, and the long dining table was crowded.

The people who came today were all young people, the oldest one was no more than twenty-five years old. In addition, they were good friends, so everyone abandoned the male and female defenses and did not divide the tables.

Qin Zheng didn't bother to change his clothes, he quickly sat down while feeling his rumbling stomach, and even took the time to pull up Qu Shaojing, who was also a foodie.

"Everyone, sit down. Why are you so polite to Brother Shen? We have helped him so much and it doesn't deserve a meal? Sit down, sit down!"

"Did I invite you here?"

"Hey, for the sake of how exhausted I am, can you please stop being so harsh?"

Qin Zheng was frustrated, "Okay, okay, I just want to see with my own eyes whether the potatoes are really high-yielding, so I can't wait to catch up, okay?"

Cheng Xi was holding a long plate and before putting it down, she hit Shen Xingluo with her elbow.

The latter glanced at Qin Zheng and saw that there was weariness in his eyes without using his venomous words.

Qu Shaojing half-armed Jiang Yuyao, "Yaoyao, sit here."

"Thank you, husband."

"What do you want to eat? I'll take care of it for you. Mrs. Shen's craftsmanship is so good, you can try it all."

The empty small bowls were quickly piled into a mountain. Qu Shaojing didn't care about the eyes of others. Jiang Yuyao blushed slightly because of his actions, lowered her head and silently picked up the chopsticks.

"Huh~"

Qin Zheng couldn't bear it and moved to Yu Heting's side a few times, regretting his move to greet Qu Shaojing just now.

The spicy and sour potato shreds are crispy and have a unique taste. The potato chunks stewed with beef and ribs are soft and delicate. Pan-fried potato cakes with golden brown on both sides are overflowing with banana flavor. Plus two different flavors of mashed potatoes, one made from potatoes. It has a variety of flavors and instantly captures everyone's taste buds.

“Delicious, so delicious!”

"This potato is really a good thing. It can be used as a staple food and can also be made into delicious dishes. It is simply a masterpiece!"

“The most important thing is that it’s very productive!”
