Stir-fried Datang: The Strongest Daughter

Chapter 37
Yang Xiaoran shuddered violently. Looking at those big bosses lying on the ground digging the soil with their buttocks up, they took a few steps back, feeling an urge to run away.

She overestimated the capacity of these people.Or she underestimated the significance of food to the world in the era of backward productivity.

The summer heat in Xiaoqingshan in July has not faded, but the autumn colors are approaching.The wind blows from the top of the mountain, blowing the flowers and plants in the mountains and forests, undulating like waves, beautiful and quiet.It's just that in this peaceful environment, the screams from the top of the mountain from time to time destroyed the tranquility of the mountain.

"Doctor, Imperial Physician, Changsun Shangshu has fainted! Quick, come quickly..."

"Ah, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you okay? The old minister will help you sit for a while..."

"It's not good! His Royal Highness has fainted!"

The corners of Yang Xiaoran's mouth twitched, and he couldn't count how many unlucky ghosts went crazy after seeing the terrifying yield of sweet potatoes, and then fainted.Even Li Xiaoer, the great first emperor through the ages, has weak legs now, and his whole body is limp like noodles. With the support of Yu Chigong and a little yellow door, he barely maintains the majesty of the emperor.

"60 stones, 60 stones..."

Li Shimin's eyes were lost, his lips trembled, and his chest heaved violently, "Really, is it really edible? I, am I dreaming?"

"Your Majesty, my daughter heard from Master's friend that this potato can be used not only as food, but also as a vegetable. It tastes very good. This sweet potato is an excellent satiety in the time of great famine. It tastes soft and delicious. And it is delicious with potatoes. Both of them can be stored for a long time. Although these two things do not pick the land, they are also very labor-intensive. If they are planted for a year, they must be left fallow for a year, otherwise the land will be useless."

In other words, Li Shimin's eyes finally had a little focus. He took a deep breath and seemed to have regained some of the emperor's rationality. After a little thought, he said: "This is reasonable." Things in the world are mutually generated and restrained, so if they are so productive, how can they be accommodated in the heaven and the earth if they do not damage the earth's strength?"

Well, Li Er is still a philosopher!He also knows the law of energy conservation. If he is not an emperor, he is a scientist or a philosopher.

"Your Majesty, you've been busy for a long time. Are you hungry? My servant sees that the corn is also ripe. My servant will pick some for you to taste."

"By the way, what is the corn yield?"

Yang Xiaoran rolled his eyes, is this guy addicted to high yield food?
"Returning to Your Majesty, the servant girl just looked at it, and estimated that there must be ten stones per mu of land."

After finishing speaking, he smiled again, and said: "Don't look too small, but this corn can also be stored for a long time. If you eat too many potatoes and sweet potatoes, your belly will swell, but this corn can be dried and ground into flour. Take this when you can't eat flour. It’s not bad as a substitute. Besides, this corn can also be eaten raw or boiled. I heard from my master’s friends that this stuff is quite nourishing..."

Li Shimin became interested, because potatoes and sweet potatoes gave him too much impact before.He was not so excited to hear about the production of ten stones now.But still full of interest, he said: "Take me to have a look."

The group came to the corn field again. Yang Xiaoran broke off two corn buds, peeled off the outer skin, and immediately bit into it, "It's delicious, so sweet! You guys light a fire and let His Majesty taste this corn."

Li Shimin chuckled lightly, and said: "Just now I saw you vomit badly, you must be hungry again, right? You are really a ghostly monkey with me as an excuse."

"I'm not an idiot..."

Yang Xiaoran protested in a low voice, but a group of bosses laughed lightly.Immediately, he was speechless again. With such a big mouth, Li Er just said what he could eat right now?

The stoves in Xiaoqingguan are all ready-made.A group of men went into the woods to find some dead wood and rotten leaves.Fortunately, there is still some firewood in Xiaoqing Guan, and it is very convenient to have the introduction to make a fire.

"The potatoes are delicious when cooked with meat..."

Yang Xiaoran lit a fire while introducing it to Li Er, but just after finishing speaking, Bao Lin rushed into the woods with a group of killers, and when she finished cooking the corn, she unexpectedly came back with a few hares and a deer.

The biological populations in the wild in this era are very complicated, and the Tang Dynasty is vast and sparsely populated. It corresponds to the sentence that later generations described the Northeast, which is really a good way to beat spores and scoop fish.With a little bit of hunting skills, it's quite simple to get into the woods to get some food.

Now that autumn has come and the bitter summer has passed, it is a good time to put on fat. The animals are getting a little fat from eating. Baolin took out a dagger, and dismembered several hares and a deer with three strokes.Yang Xiaoran felt admiration for it.

What is Paodingjieniu?This is it!

"Sister Cheng, how should I do this?"

After Baolin fetched water to clean up the rabbits and deer, Yang Xiaoran was still holding the dagger in his hand. Yang Xiaoran shivered, pushed the dagger away, and said, "Brother Baolin, you should call me Yaoxiang. Give the things to me." I'll do."

As Yang Xiaoran spoke, he got up and took out a kitchen knife from the side of the stove.No need to ask, just look at the shape and you will know that it is a copy brought from modern times.

Baolin's eyes lit up, he grabbed the kitchen knife from Yang Xiaoran, stretched out his hand to stroke it carefully, and murmured: "Good knife, good knife! Tsk, the Cheng family... oh, no, Yaoxiang, no , It’s Xiangmei, your master beat this? Violent treasure! This is fine steel! Ah, no, what material is this kitchen knife made of?”

As Baolin spoke, he raised the kitchen knife and slashed at his own dagger.The results can be imagined, the modern synthetic gold is better than the ancient so-called fine steel dagger.

Looking at the notch on the dagger, Baolin opened his mouth wide open.

After a while, he suddenly took off a jade pendant from his neck and said, "Xiangmei, look, look..."

Bao Lin blushed, didn't this piece of jade pendant replace the treasured sword a little bit to take advantage of others?
But this knife is really good.If you put it on your body and fight close to the enemy, with such a sharp weapon, wouldn't it be invincible?

Any general's desire for a sword is no less than his desire for a woman, or even more.Baolin was only 14 years old and was a brave general in the armed forces. He practiced martial arts since he was a child, and had an incomparable desire for weapons.With just one glance, he was completely conquered by this kitchen knife.

Just as he was thinking about how to speak, he realized that the jade pendant in his hand had disappeared in a blink of his eyes.

Taking a closer look, it turned out to be in the hands of the girl from the Cheng family.Some rubbed their eyes in disbelief, a strange look appeared on their faces, could this guy really be the reincarnation of a leather monkey as His Majesty said?This move is too fast!

"Tsk tsk! Brother Baolin, is this also the land you captured from the battlefield?"

At this moment, Yang Xiaoran looked at Yuchi Baolin as if he was looking at Grandpa the God of Wealth.The father is a bandit, and the son is not bad either!The things on this body are all snatched from other people, tsk tsk, a kitchen knife is exchanged for such a good jade pendant, haha, the girl is about to get rich!
"Hehe" laughed a few times, put away the jade pendant, and said with a sweet smile: "Brother Baolin, this kitchen knife belongs to you."

After speaking, he walked towards the stove again, pretended to touch the side of the stove, and with a thought, another kitchen knife appeared in his hand.He casually rubbed against the side of the stove a few times, creating the illusion that it had been stored for a long time. Under Baolin's stunned, he returned to the original place very coolly, picked up the rabbit and put it on the cutting board, raised the knife and dropped it, "Boom With a bang, the poor little rabbit was chopped into small pieces.

Baolin looked at the kitchen knife in his hand, then at the daughter of the Cheng family who was waving wildly with the kitchen knife, touched the back of his head, and felt a strange feeling in his heart: Who will tell me, this inexplicable What's going on with the feeling of being at a disadvantage? ! ! !

But looking down at his notched dagger again, he felt it was worth it again.Such a good knife is rare in the world.It was made by that great sage again...

Thinking of this, Baolin untied the red rope from the dagger, saw a hole in the handle of the kitchen knife, threaded the rope into his waist, and flaunted to his father very proudly.

Seeing his appearance, Yang Xiaoran twitched the corner of his mouth.I've only heard of the sword on the waist, but never the kitchen knife.Brother Baoling, are you a tease sent by the monkey?
Ignore these out-of-the-ordinary Tang people, and concentrate on processing the delicacies in their hands.

After all, she hadn't eaten venison yet!I heard that this thing is a good thing, nourishing and delicious.Didn't you see in Dream of the Red Chamber, brother Bao, that dude often roasts venison?It is often mentioned by Master Cao Xueqin in the book, which shows the good taste and the precious ingredients.

The goulash with potatoes is a must.This venison stew with potatoes should be good too, right?

Although she has never done boiling venison before, the methods of processing these ingredients are similar, so it is not difficult for her.

It's a pity that there is no soy sauce, otherwise it would be more delicious.

Tsk tsk, it looks like I have to find a way to make some soy sauce.This thing is not available in this era, if it can be made, it should be a source of income.For a top student in biology, this is not a problem for her.

He was processing the ingredients, when he suddenly heard shouts from outside, and in the blink of an eye, Old Fool Yuchi rushed in with a group of generals and his two cheap brothers.

As soon as he entered the door, he didn't speak, his eyes were like a wolf's, he rushed to the stove, picked up the kitchen knife and started dancing.

"Precious knife, precious knife! It really is a precious knife! Miss Cheng, do you still have this precious knife?"

"You treat your treasured sword as the cabbage in the vegetable market?"

Yang Xiaoran couldn't help but slander in his heart, watching Yuchi foolishly pinning the kitchen knife to his belt, the corners of his mouth twitched non-stop.

Sure enough, it came out of the bandit's den!

Ready to take it away?
"Uncle Yuchi..."

"What a knife! Haha, fortunately, the old man is quick!"

"That, Uncle Yuchi..."

"Tsk tsk, such a good steel is used to make kitchen knives, your master is really weird, such a good thing wasted!"

"Uncle Yuchi!"

"Don't be jealous, just watch this old man take this treasured sword and go to His Majesty to perform a set of thunderbolt sword skills..."

"Pini girl! Where's my mother's money? Want to get it for nothing?!"

Yang Xiaoran roared inwardly, but when he looked at his small body and the ferocious appearance of Yuchi Yuchi, he shrank his neck, and felt that depression had struck again...

It's unscientific to snatch food from a tiger's mouth!
