Da Tang: After marrying the vegetative princess, I was crazy

Chapter 77 Li Er’s heart hurts, and the grain that yields thousands of catties per mu is eaten like this?.

Under the guidance of the female official, Li Er and Empress Changsun came all the way to the garden of the Princess Mansion. Before entering the door, I smelled a burst of aroma coming from inside.

“This tastes… Do you want to eat barbecue today? ”

Li Er said with a deep groan, and stepped into the door at the same time. Immediately afterwards, he saw Su Li and Changle sitting side by side in the middle of the garden.

In front of them, a copper square with a smooth surface.

In the past few days, Li Er often came to visit the door and knew that the thing was called a stove.

At this time, there were several things thick in the middle of the two tips on the stove, which seemed to be shaped like the rhizomes of some kind of plant, a bit like water radish, but the skin was purple-red.

What is this? Why has Xin never seen it?

Seeing what was roasted on the stove, Li Er immediately became interested. Seeing that Su Li and the two were about to get up, Li Er waved his hand.

“What is this, why has Xin never seen it?”

Li Er pointed to the stove and asked.

Su Li smiled slightly and said: “It’s not good to always eat delicate meals, and occasionally you have to eat some coarse grains to be nutritionally balanced.” These things are the staple food to eat today, called baked sweet potatoes. ”

After speaking, Su Li took out the things that had been prepared long ago from a food box next to him.

“It’s called french fries, it tastes good, you can try it later!”

Baked sweet potatoes? French fries? What is this?

His own question, Su Li seemed to have said it, but he didn’t seem to say anything. The two names he said made Li Er even more puzzled.

Since he can let a gluttonous like Su Li take it out as a staple food to entertain himself, it shows that these two things must be food.

However, under the heavens, is there any grain that I don’t know? Li Er thought so, it was really not conceited.

Although he has never farmed, most farmers probably don’t know as many types of crops as Li Er. The people take food as the sky!

What was the main daily job of the emperor?

To Li Er, what worries him the most is not actually an internal rebellion and external enemies. The huge court gathered almost all the brightest figures in the entire Great Tang.

Countless officials are busy from the beginning to the end of the year, in essence, that is, busy with one thing. That is how to feed the people!

If the people can eat, no matter how big things happen in the court, they are only small things.

But if the people can’t even eat, even if the country seems strong on the surface, it will be a building. It was precisely because Li Er was very sober about this that he would say that

“Water can carry boats and can cover 877 boats”

。 Therefore, the one who cares most about grain is not the farmer, but the emperor Li Er.

Seeing that Su Li did not mean to explain further, Li Er was not in a hurry, but sat down with a big golden knife.

“Sister, sister!”

At this time, the little man in Empress Changsun’s arms stretched out her chubby little arm towards Changle and begged for a hug. Changle smiled and took her over and stopped her in his arms.

Xiaozi didn’t care about talking to her, his big black eyes dripped and turned, looking at baked sweet potatoes for a while, French fries for a while, looking like he wanted to eat and was embarrassed to open his mouth.

This little look amused everyone else.

“Baked sweet potatoes are still a little hot, you eat french fries first.”

Su Li smiled and took out a small dish with red dipping sauce from the food box and handed it to Xiaozi.

“Brother-in-law, what is this?”

The saucer is not big, but the little dagger is too small to hold in two hands.

“This is called ketchup, come, I’ll teach you how to eat it.”

Saying that, Su Li picked up a fries, dipped a little sauce, and stuffed it into Xiaozi’s mouth.

At that moment, Xiao Bizi’s eyes became shining, and an extremely satisfied look appeared on his round little face.

“Sweet and sour, it’s delicious!”

Before the fries stuffed in his mouth were finished, Xiaozizi freed up one hand, grabbed another fries, and dipped the sauce in the way Su Li looked just now, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Li Er and Empress Changsun next to him are also like this.

“It’s delicious indeed!”

Empress Changsun chewed a few mouthfuls and said with a smile. Li Er next to him did not have much reaction.

Although the French fries taste good, it is already strange for Li Er, who eats and drinks in the Princess Mansion every day. The taste buds have been stimulated by spices from later generations, and in terms of eating, Li Er has been able to not be shocked.

Li Er always felt that today’s Su Li was different from usual. This meal doesn’t seem to be that simple!

He looked at Su Li thoughtfully, but saw that Su Li was holding fries to feed Changle, who was holding the little man and couldn’t free his hand, looking like you nong my nong.

“Ahem, brother-in-law, give me water!”

At this moment, Xiaozi suddenly waved his little arm and stretched out towards Su Li. Su Li quickly took out a cup and handed it to the small pocket.

Gooo

Xiao Pocket drank the water in one go, but the next reaction was a little strange.

I saw that she kept sticking out her tongue, one hand kept fanning towards her mouth, and she didn’t forget to hand the hand holding the cup to Su Li.

“Brother Master, I still want to drink!”

Seeing Xiao Yizi’s abnormal behavior, Li Er couldn’t help but be a little curious.

Then, he saw Su Li take out a kettle and pour a cup of black things into Xiaozi’s cup.

“What is this?”

Li Er frowned and asked.

Su Li smiled and said, “This is my secret drink, called Coke.” This drink has a unique flavor that will leave you feeling refreshed and energized. ”

“Oh? That’s to taste. ”

Li Er also took a cup of Coke.

The bubbles in the cup churned, making a slight snorting sound, Li Er looked at it and thought it was interesting, and raised his hand to take a sip. Immediately afterwards, Li Er was stunned.

When the cola entered, he immediately felt that the whole tongue exploded directly, and then Li Er seemed to hear a crackling sound in his mouth. This intense stimulus, mixed with a unique sweetness, goes from the tip of the tongue straight to the throat.

Suddenly, Li Er snorted. Good head!

Seeing Li Er’s appearance, Su Li couldn’t help but smile secretly. Fat house happy water, isn’t it a waste of fame?

Although Li Er is not a fat mansion, this does not affect his happiness!

With just one sip, Li Er liked this drink called cola.

This thing, not as bland as fruit brew, nor like wine, can make people dizzy. As Su Li said, a cup down, refreshed!

“Good stuff!”

Li Er picked up another cup and handed it to Empress Changsun next to him. Looking at his wife and daughter who were smiling, Li Er took a deep look at Su Li.

This kid is quite good at living!

If nothing else, with this delicious cooking skill, for the royal princess, it can be regarded as a good match. Not to mention, he was still so attached to Changle.

It seems that when Xu chose him as a colt in the first place, it can be regarded as a crooked beating!

“Sweet potatoes, you can taste them.”

Su Li didn’t care what Li Er was thinking, he picked up two sweet potatoes and handed them to Li Er and Empress Changsun respectively. Li Er and his wife did not move.

After all, it is a food that they have never seen before, and with their shrewdness, they naturally will not take the lead in speaking.

Watching Su Li carefully break the other sweet potato in half, divide it between Changle and Xiaozi, and one person gave a small spoon, signaling them to dig and eat.

Li Er and Changsun learned from this.

“Sweet and soft, it tastes good!”

Not surprisingly, sweet potatoes have received unanimous praise from several people.

Stimulated by Coke, Li Er felt that his mind was inexplicably clearer. At this time, he remembered the business.

“What is the source of this baked sweet potato and french fries?”

Li Er asked seemingly casually. Here, waiting for you here!

Su Li smiled and said, “These two grains, one is sweet potatoes and the other is potatoes, are both imported from the ocean. ”

New food?

Li Er was unimpressed, and asked with a smile: “If it is a new grain, I don’t know what the yield is?” ”

Asking this sentence, Li Er was just out of his instinct as an emperor, and he really didn’t have any ideas. Since Shennong tasted a hundred herbs and divided the five grains, the land of summers used the five grains to refer to the grain.

Of course, with the continuous emergence of new grains, the types of grains are not static. The five grains of the pre-Qin dynasty and the five grains of today are not the same thing at all.

Speaking of which, whether a new grain can be included in the five grains, there are many evaluation criteria. Among them, the most important one is its output.

That’s why Li Er asked this question.

“The output is so-so, and it is all about a thousand catties per acre.”

Su Li said with a smile.

Li Er nodded subconsciously and said, “It’s not bad, it can be used as ordinary grain and planted in the corner of the farmland, and then Li Er spoke.” ”

“Wait, you said that these two new grains can yield up to a thousand catties per acre?”

Li Er’s eyes widened and looked at Su Li: “Is this true?” ”

This news was so sudden that Li Er was gaffe. That’s a thousand pounds per acre!

Li Er knew better than anyone that if this output was true, then what it meant to the Great Tang! Today, the people of the Tang Dynasty eat three main grains, mainly millet and wheat in the north, and rice in the south.

Among them, the yield of corn mu is about 100 catties, the yield of wheat mu is about 300 catties, and the maximum yield of rice mu is a little more than 200 catties. Overall, all the grain fields in the Great Tang Dynasty have an acre yield of about 270 catties.

The mu yield is one thousand catties, which is nearly four times that of now!

This means that if the land of the Great Tang is replaced with these two grains, there will be no worries about hunger in the world!

Any emperor, as long as he holds these two things, as long as it is not too absurd, he will start as an emperor for thousands of years! Think about it, if anyone takes out such grain, the name of the five grains can be directly changed to seven grains.

No, even if you directly say two valleys in the future, I’m afraid no one will have an opinion!

Those who take out the new grain will directly become gods.

All the temples of the Tang Dynasty, look at which, go in and smash the statue, and sit on it yourself. Up to the emperor, down to the people, absolutely no one will say half a no.

Instead, worship it!

Li Er’s identity and experience doomed him to be the most daring person under the sun.

However, even in his most arrogant dreams, he never dared to think that such a thing would exist in the world! Who would have thought that such a fetish would actually appear in front of him in this way?

Li Er looked at the sweet potatoes and potatoes stunnedly, and his eyes ejaculated. His appearance had long been expected by Su Li.

Su Li nodded lightly and said: “These two things, at least the mu yields thousands of catties, I still have a conservative estimate.” ”

Li Er looked at Su Li with an eager expression and asked, “Are there still seeds?” ”

“Aren’t all the seeds here?”

Su left the stall and pointed to the roasted sweet potatoes and french fries on the stove. What the?!

When he boarded, Li Er’s eyes turned red.

The Emperor’s Hegemony… The Emperor of the Ages… Gone? An unprecedented sense of loss surged into Li Er’s heart.

“Eaten? Really eaten? ”

Seeing Su Li nodding, Li Er’s expression was indescribably complicated. The unwillingness to be full of stomach finally turned into a long sigh.

“You said these two things are from the ocean?”

Suddenly, he remembered the details in Su Li’s words just now, and asked a little impatiently.

“Where exactly are these two grains produced? How far is it from my Datang? ”

If you don’t know, forget it, since you know, Li Er is really unwilling to give up like this.

Su Li shook his head, and said with a somewhat serious face: “Sweet potatoes and potatoes are all from the other side of the ocean, tens of thousands of miles away from the Great Tang. Between the two places, it is covered by endless oceans, which is difficult for manpower to reach. ”

“Moreover, sweet potatoes and potatoes, although produced very well, are not without defects. These two things are relatively wasteland, planted for one year, and other grains must be planted in rotation the following year, otherwise the good land can be discarded in a few years. Moreover, these two kinds of grains are not nutritious, eating too much will flatulence, and it is not as good as food to feed people, but it cannot replace grains. ”

Su Li’s words fell, and what responded to him was the astonished gazes of Li Er and Empress Changsun. Such a divine food, what are the disadvantages without nutrition?

Is this the reason!

Ordinary people, where are they qualified to pay attention to what is not nutritious or not?

Eating is not boring, and it is never something they will consider. They only care about filling their stomachs!

In a disaster year, the fields were not harvested.

People are extremely hungry, even if they know that they will die of Guanyin soil if they eat it, they will not hesitate to stuff it into their mouths. Su Li’s words made Li Er very dissatisfied.

Four months ago, you Su Li was still a farmer, living every day with your back to the sky facing the loess. It stands to reason that you should know better than us what ordinary people are thinking.

It hasn’t been long since you forgot all these things? However, Li Er can only think about it.

Can he blame Su Li for eating the precious grain?

In the end, after all, this is something that people leave themselves.

He was willing to take these things out to entertain himself, and he couldn’t say that he had done something wrong. But in the end, it is still difficult to settle!

“Even if it is far away, no matter how much it costs, it will be taken!”

Li Er’s gaze was firm. Su Li looked at Li Er’s unpretentious expression with a slight emotion in his heart.

Sweet potatoes and potatoes have been stationed in the Central Plains during the Ming Dynasty, but unfortunately they have not been taken seriously, if they can be officially promoted and planted, if the minister of culture and military affairs does not insist on amassing wealth and promoting the whole country, Daming may continue to live for thirty or fifty years.

Until the Qing Dynasty, the popularization of sweet potatoes and potatoes was completed spontaneously by the people for decades and hundreds of years. In vain cheapened the Qing Dynasty, Kangxi’s potatoes flourished.

No matter how tainted Li Er’s character is, being able to pay attention to it at the first time shows that Li Er is a qualified emperor. However, looking at Li Er’s heavy and regretful look, Su Li smiled and looked at the flower pot in the yard.

The branches and leaves of potatoes and the vines of sweet potatoes are shaking with the wind.
