Qing Chuan's Fu Jin is not easy to mess with

Chapter 173 Roasted Sweet Potatoes

"Master, are you still going out tonight?"

Lan Xi suddenly said these words faintly, Elder Brother Ten's eyes lit up immediately, he was not staring at the pig's trotter in his hand, but aimed at Lan Xi, his eyes had a faint green light.

"What are you looking at? Nibbling on your trotters!"

Lan Xi felt a little embarrassed by Elder Brother Ten, and couldn't help but raised her hand to pat her.

Brother Ten laughed and said, "Don't go out, don't go out!"

It is said that a little farewell is better than a newlywed. They have only been married for a short time, and it is not a little farewell. They have not seen each other for a few months, it is definitely a big farewell.

When it was close to noon, the sky suddenly became cloudy, and the sky was filled with large clouds, but there was no wind.

Snowflakes as big as goose feathers began to fall in a short while.

"Auspicious snow heralds a prosperous year, that's great!"

Sitting on the warm kang, looking at the scenery outside through the window grille, Lanxi was still in a good mood.

Brother Ten was beside him, roasting sweet potatoes for Lan Xi.

Sweet potatoes, at this time, were still called sweet potatoes, and were not widely grown in the Qing Dynasty.The reason why Lan Xi got this thing was because of the deal with the Ministry of Household Affairs.

This kind of good thing is currently being grown in Fujian. The local government sent a batch to Beijing, saying that the yield is large and it is very suitable for planting.

It's a pity that this batch of sweet potatoes was traded to Lan Xi when he met a mediocre official who didn't know how to grow sweet potatoes.

Once the good things are in her own hands, Lan Xi will not easily return them to the imperial court, even if she wants to return them to the imperial court, she will have to earn a fortune.

This truth, even a little sensible child understands.

It's like a gem, you thought it was a broken stone, so you gave it to me, and when I discovered the preciousness of the stone, do you still expect me to return the gem to you?
Sweet potatoes, baked and eaten, are delicious.

Cut into slices, dry in the sun, and make sweet potato porridge, which is equally delicious.

Also, boiled and dried, made into sweet potato fries, soft, sticky, and chewy.

The most important thing is that this thing is basically guaranteed harvest in drought and flood.

As long as the method of planting sweet potatoes is dedicated to Kangxi, it will definitely be a great achievement.

The local officials in Fujian probably would never have imagined in their dreams that the treasures they presented would be treated as waste by a group of scholars who only talk on paper.

"Fu Jin, what is this? It smells so sweet!"

From time to time, Elder Brother Ten fiddled with the sweet potatoes under the stove with a stick, sniffing the fragrance in the air, and felt his appetite whetted.

"This is called sweet potato. It was obtained from the Ministry of Household Affairs. It is really a good product. The yield is first-class. The harvest is guaranteed in drought and flood!"

"real or fake?"

"Of course it's true!" Lan Xi stared, "It's no money to lie to you!"

Elder Brother Shi jumped up and said, "It doesn't make sense, since there are such good things, why didn't Huang Ama notice them?"

"Well, maybe I have to ask the people in the household department!"

Many officials have studied books for many years in the imperial examination, but when it comes to farming, it is estimated that it is difficult to distinguish between leeks and wheat seedlings!

"Are there many of these things?"

"Yeah, thousands of catties!"

Lan Xi didn't pay much attention to how many sweet potatoes the people below received from the household department, the transaction of five million taels of silver, all kinds of things were really one warehouse after another.

Where does she have the time to slowly see how much everything is?
"No, I have to go talk to Huang Ama!"

Elder Brother Shi grabbed two baked sweet potatoes that were still very hot, wrapped them around the hem of his robe, and rushed out of the room in a flash, disappearing into the snow.

Lan Xi sat on the spot, looking at the two half-cooked sweet potatoes left under the stove, and gritted her teeth angrily.
