Supreme peasant girl to turn over

Chapter 483 Emperor Yuan Jing's Approval
Emperor Yuan Jing asked Eunuch Liu to bring the thing up. He first sniffed it cautiously, and found that there was a smell that he had never experienced before, but it was indeed the fragrance of plants. Then Emperor Yuan Jing asked: "What is this thing called, and how do you eat it? "

Yang Fengxian said eloquently: "This thing is called corn. The easiest way is to cook it directly. Use the amount of water that has not been used for corn, about two or three amounts. Cook for a quarter of an hour. You can fish it out and eat it in less than half a quarter of an hour."

"The brown beard, called corn silk, is taken out and boiled to drink alone, which can protect the stomach and intestines. It is a therapeutic prescription for daily maintenance of the stomach, and corn silk can also be used together with other medicinal materials. , respectively can treat inflammation, hepatitis, hemostasis and other different effects."

Emperor Yuan Jing waved his hand: "Old Liu, let the imperial dining room cook it."

Yang Fengxian continued: "And this corncob, that is, the cob left after eating corn, has similar effects to corn silk, and can be used as a raw material for growing mushrooms."

While the corn was being boiled in the imperial dining room, Yang Fengxian took out two more bowls from the basket, one of which contained husked corn, and the other contained ground corn flour.

Qingwen put the two bowls on the table, and Yang Fengxian said, "These corn kernels can be made into different kinds of dishes, such as fried corn, fried minced meat with corn, fried cucumber with carrot and corn, ham with corn, and corn with pine nuts." , and the corn cut into small pieces can be made into dishes such as corn stewed ribs."

Then Yang Fengxian pointed to the cornmeal in another bowl and said: "This is dry flour made from corn. This cornmeal can be mixed with other flours, such as flour, to make corn steamed buns or corn buns. It can also be boiled directly with water. Corn mush."

Emperor Yuan Jing nodded appreciatively and said: "This corn is a good thing. It can be used for cooking and steamed buns. I just don't know how to cook or how to grow it?"

Yang Fengxian nodded and said, "The method of planting corn is not particularly difficult, but what is needed is dry fields, not paddy fields."

Emperor Yuan Jing was overjoyed: "Well, our Dashu Kingdom mainly uses paddy fields, and the utilization rate of dry fields is too low. The main thing is to grow vegetables. If there is any problem with the paddy fields, it is very likely that the whole country will be affected. If you are hungry, if you can increase the utilization rate of the dry land and grow something to eat as food, that would be a great thing."

Yang Fengxian said with a smile: "So, isn't Fengxian here to announce the good news to the emperor?"

Emperor Yuan Jing couldn't wait any longer. He didn't have time to let people announce the Da Si Nong. Instead, he asked Eunuch Liu to arrange a servant to record the documents, and to write down the planting method Yang Fengxian said.

Yang Fengxian waited until they were ready before saying: "To plant this corn, the first thing to do is to select the seeds. The corn kernels are the seeds. Generally speaking, corn is sown in spring or early summer. At this time, the weather is warmer and the rain It is also relatively abundant, suitable for the growth of corn."

Her speaking speed was deliberately slowed down so that the little eunuch could take notes.

"Corn does not have high requirements on the soil, as long as it is not too barren and can ensure drainage and air permeability. To plant corn, you need to dig small pits at certain intervals on the ground. You only need to put two or three seeds in each hole, and a corn can produce a large piece of seeds, which is very suitable."

"Furthermore, as long as watering is ensured in time of drought, weeding and pest control are enough. There is nothing else that needs attention." After Yang Fengxian finished speaking, the little eunuch over there also finished recording. He put the paper aside and waited for the ink marks. completely dry.

Emperor Yuan Jing nodded again and again: "It doesn't sound complicated, what else?"

Yang Fengxian took out sweet potatoes from the small basket again, Emperor Yuan Jing looked at the ordinary appearance of the sweet potatoes, frowned and asked: "What is this?"

Yang Fengxian introduced: "This thing is called sweet potato. Sweet potatoes include white sweet potatoes and red sweet potatoes. They can be eaten directly steamed, cooked in porridge, roasted, cut into small strips and fried, or dried in the sun as a reserve. Grain, or wrapped in flour to make potato cakes, fried sweet potato balls, these are all ways to eat. The advantage of sweet potatoes is that they are very filling, and they are also rich in nutrition and have the effect of strengthening the spleen and stomach."

"Although this sweet potato is not as good as a vegetable and a staple food like corn, it is very easy to grow. Use sweet potatoes to cut into pieces to cultivate sweet potato seedlings. Choose dry land with sufficient sunlight and good drainage. The land needs deep plowing, because sweet potatoes grow in Plants that grow underground can’t be planted until spring at the earliest, but right now I have a technology that can ensure the survival rate of all crops in winter, and I can try it at that time. Sweet potatoes need to be dug for planting, and there must be enough The temperature and nutrition are enough, and they can be dug out and eaten in autumn."

Yang Fengxian finished speaking in one breath, and the little eunuch who recorded it scribbled hard, and finally recorded it completely.

And the cooked corn over there was also brought up, and Emperor Yuan Jing asked the people in the imperial dining room to take back the corn kernels, cornmeal and sweet potatoes, and make them according to Yang Fengxian's instructions.

And now, it's time to try this corn. Yang Fengxian picked up one first, peeled off the outer corn leaves, and then blew the corn slightly to cool it down, and directly hugged the corn—and gnawed it.

This method may not be very elegant, but it is better than simplicity. Emperor Yuan Jing laughed out loud, not caring about his image, and gnawed like Yang Fengxian.

Yang Fengxian was just doing a demonstration, so she put it down after a few mouthfuls, and then she said with a smile: "This food is simple to eat, but if you want to be more particular, you can have someone cook the corn and scrape off the corn kernels, and then Soaked in hot milk, the taste is also very sweet."

After Emperor Yuan Jing tasted it, he really felt it was very sweet and unknowingly ate it all up, but he had a hearty meal during a rare illness.

And this corn is also very full, Emperor Yuan Jing felt very full after eating it, he reckoned that he didn't need to eat it for dinner, but it was nothing, this fresh item must be tasted.

After the cornmeal steamed buns, pine nut corn, and sweet potato porridge were served, Emperor Yuan Jing only tasted a few mouthfuls, but he couldn't eat any more.

But even so, he still fully approves of what these things brought by Yang Fengxian represent.Immediately, he issued an imperial edict to Da Sinong, asking Da Sinong to ask Yang Fengxian for seeds, intending to promote the cultivation of these two crops throughout Dashu.

After the decree was made, Emperor Yuan Jing looked at Yang Fengxian who had been sitting there quietly waiting with a smile on his face, and said, "Girl Feng, you have made another great contribution! Shuntian Mansion is suffering from a disaster right now, and it is because of the lack of food and food." Time, this is timely rain! Tell me, do you have anything you want?"
