Chapter 3750

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was dumbfounded.

Meng Tian stared at the potatoes in Tang Yu's hand with a strange look on his face, and said, "Your Majesty, you...you said this thing is edible? Are you serious?"

All the soldiers present were also dubious. No matter how they looked at it, it didn't look like it was edible. Even if it could be eaten, it would definitely not taste good.

Seeing everyone's surprised faces, Tang Yu nodded without hesitation: "It's edible! And it tastes very delicious!"

"The most important thing is that potatoes are a high-yielding food that does not have many requirements for soil. They can be grown even in extremely cold places."

The corners of Tang Yu's mouth rose slightly, and he couldn't help but feel happy.

There is no way, now that he is the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty, there are many things that need to be handled by him personally, such as the problem of food and clothing for the people of the Tang Dynasty.

Although he invented hybrid rice before, growing rice has extremely stringent requirements for soil and other conditions. Not only does the soil need to be fertile, but it also has high requirements for the season.

In contrast, the advantages of potatoes are revealed.

Potatoes can be planted no matter what time of year. Not only do they have high yields, but they are also very easy to feed. On weekdays, there are not so many complicated steps at all. You only need to water and fertilize on time.

Thinking of this, Tang Yu stared at the land under his feet.

"Meng Tian, ​​find someone from Shushan and ask them where they found potatoes."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

If Tang Yu had known that there were potatoes in the backyard of Shushan, he would have sent troops to attack Shushan long ago.

This is a rare treasure!

Soon, Meng Tian brought a Shushan disciple to Tang Yu. After questioning, he learned that the potatoes were accidentally obtained by the Shushan Sect Master. They had never seen potatoes and had no idea that potatoes were edible.

Slowly, this field was forgotten by everyone, so most of the potatoes sprouted. After hearing the other party's explanation, Tang Yu nodded thoughtfully and said, "You didn't plan to use it as food?"

The Shushan disciple shook his head and said with a complex expression: "No, an elder thought it was edible before, but the bite turned out to be hard and astringent, and it was covered with buds. It didn't taste very good at first glance, so we Just didn’t pay attention to it.”

Tang Yu clicked his tongue. He didn't expect that Shushan had such a treasure but didn't know it. This was a waste of resources. If he had discovered potatoes earlier, the Tang Dynasty would have achieved food freedom long ago!

"Your Majesty, is this thing really edible? Why do I think it looks weird?" Meng Tian stared at the potato like a curious baby. No matter how he looked at it, he didn't think it was a kind of food.

Tang Yu smiled faintly and said, "Strange? That's because they don't understand the taste of potatoes at all. Potatoes need to be peeled."

"Meng Tian, ​​bring me the marching pot. Aren't you curious whether these potatoes can be eaten? I will open your eyes right now. I guarantee it will be delicious like you have never tasted before!"

Tang Yu was very excited and planned to make a potato feast for everyone to try on the spot.

As a modern person, Tang Yu knows how to cook potatoes very well. Not only are they delicious, potatoes are also rich in nutritional value.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Tang Yu first peeled the potatoes, and then picked off the young sprouts on them.

Da da da da da!

There was a sound of chopping vegetables in the audience, and the potatoes that were originally black turned into a plate of delicate shredded potatoes in Tang Yu's hands. The golden color looked very appetizing.

Soon, Tang Yu made a plate of shredded potatoes in front of everyone. Tang Yu was the first to taste it, with a satisfied expression on his face.

"That's what it tastes like!"

"Old Xu Mengtian, you all should come and try it, I guarantee you have never tasted such delicious food!"
