"What exactly is in this food box of yours, kid?"
After the lid of the food box was opened, the rich aroma spread throughout the hall, and even Ying Zheng was attracted.
“How to store potatoes!”
Ying Feiyu winked mischievously and took out a plate of pork stewed vermicelli from the food box.
The fat and thin pieces of pork were fried to a sugary color, shiny and very appetizing.
The vermicelli absorbs the broth and cooks crystal clear, so beautiful!
"What is this? Noodles...?"
"Probably not, it doesn't look like it!"
"Yes, the noodles should be pure white. How can they be transparent? They are definitely not noodles!"
"Didn't His Highness the Crown Prince just say that the contents of the food box are related to the storage of potatoes? How could they be noodles?"
…
After seeing the appetizing dish, all the ministers guessed wrong and swallowed unconsciously.
Based on past experience, as long as this kid makes something, there is nothing that is not delicious!
Besides, the aroma above the hall has already proven this!
"Er Chen, this dish is called pork stewed vermicelli!"
Seeing everyone's doubts, Xiaozhengtai did not continue to explain, and explained with a smile.
He spent a lot of effort to make this dish!
"Vermicelli? What is this?"
After some explanations, Ying Zheng became even more confused.
"Rong Erchen will give it a try first. Please let your father and the ministers taste it before talking about it!"
"Yeah, that's fine!"
Ying Feiyu put the plate in his hand on the dragon table, took out two more plates, gave one plate to each of the civil servants and generals, and everyone shared it.
Immediately afterwards, the solemn hall was filled with the voices of fans.
"Mmm, delicious, so delicious!"
“This vermicelli is full of meaty flavor and very smooth and tender. It tastes really good!”
"Yeah! I don't know what this vermicelli is made of...!"
After the ministers tasted it, they were full of praise and licked their tongues, feeling that they still had unfinished thoughts.
I have no choice but to do this in a hurry. It is impossible for them to take care of me enough!
In the entire hall, the only person who could open his mouth to eat was Ying Zheng.
He was the only one who never spoke!
Because I was only focused on eating pork stewed vermicelli and couldn’t think of talking at all!
"How dare you bring out such a delicious thing!"
After finishing half the plate in one go, while Jing Fu was pouring tea for him, he raised his head and complained.
"Father, don't eat in a hurry, there will be more to come!"
Immediately afterwards, another ant climbed up the tree and was carried to the dragon table.
The fine meat foam surrounds the vermicelli, which is tender and smooth when put into the mouth. It has another kind of texture that makes everyone's eyes shine again.
Followed by pork belly and stir-fried dry potato chips.
Everyone understands this dish. It consists of boiled potato slices and then drying them in the sun.
"Don't mention it, these dried potato chips taste really good!"
"Yeah, I'll let some dry at home later and save it for stew in the winter!"
"It seems that the method of storing potatoes that His Highness the Prince mentioned should be these dried potato slices, right?"
"Well! But ordinary people can boil the potatoes they can't eat at home, dry them in the sun, and eat them in the winter. This way, they don't have to watch the potatoes rot at home!"
"Yes, yes, it is indeed a good method!"
…
The ministers seemed to understand all of a sudden.
Little Shota smiled and said nothing.
Next, there is a sweet dried sweet potato as a final snack!
This thing is simpler, just cook it and dry it in the sun, and then eat it directly as a snack.
"Yes! Not bad! Your boy has solved another big problem for the court today!"
Ying Zheng also thought that his purpose was to let the people dry the sweet potatoes and potatoes for storage.
Although the taste is a bit worse than the fresh one, it is still a good idea!
"Solve the problem? Father, do you understand what these dishes are made of?"
Ying Feiyu asked.
He really didn't believe it. After just one bite, this old guy knew that the vermicelli was made of potatoes?
"Of course, the pork belly and potato stew should be made from dried potatoes, and the sweet potato at the end has a very strong flavor, so it should be dried sweet potatoes, haha!"
Ying Zheng was very proud, thinking that he had guessed it right.
"Yes! That's right! Does your father know what the first two dishes are made of?"
"Um...this...?"
Ying Zheng looked at the few vermicelli left on the plate and didn't say why for a long time.
In the end, he chose to give in and said, "I really don't know!"
"The vermicelli... isn't it made of potatoes and sweet potatoes?"
Feng Quji made a tentative guess.
"You can pull it off! You are an old guy who has never eaten potatoes and sweet potatoes. How could this vermicelli be made of potatoes and sweet potatoes?"
"That's right! Potatoes and sweet potatoes are both soft and glutinous, but the vermicelli is very chewy and smooth. There's no way it's made from potatoes!"
However, before Xiao Zhengtai could speak, a group of ministers immediately retorted.
In fact, Feng Quji didn't know what the vermicelli was made of, he just guessed based on Ying Feiyu's words!
"Feng Shangshu is right, those smooth vermicelli are made from potatoes and sweet potatoes!"
Ying Feiyu nodded in agreement.
"What?"
The whole place was in an uproar, and even Ying Zheng's jaw dropped.
Potatoes and sweet potatoes can actually make smooth vermicelli?
These are basically two different things, right?
"You heard it right, vermicelli is indeed made from potatoes and sweet potatoes...!"
Ying Feiyu nodded firmly, and then explained to everyone, "Potatoes and sweet potatoes contain a lot of starch. Add the starch to boiling water and stir, and it will gradually become thicker and thicker. Then add dry starch and eggs and knead it into a dough. , squeeze it into strips, boil it in boiling water, and it’s the vermicelli you just ate!”
"The vermicelli not only tastes good, but can be stored for more than a year after drying. In this way, doesn't it solve the storage problem of potatoes and sweet potatoes?"
"Wonderful! Wonderful!"
Feng Quji took the lead, and there was a burst of applause in the hall.
Dried potatoes and dried sweet potatoes do taste good, but they are far less amazing than vermicelli.
I never expected that this vermicelli is actually made of potatoes and can be stored for a year!
In this way, the storage problem of potatoes and sweet potatoes has been completely solved!
"Besides, you can send the uneaten potatoes and sweet potatoes to places like Wo Island for the slaves to eat! Save the food that is easy to store!"
"Hmm, good idea...!"
Ying Zheng slapped his thigh excitedly, "Quickly pass the order and ask the people to make all the uneaten potatoes and sweet potatoes into vermicelli and dried potatoes according to the method, and save them for winter!"
"yes!"
After solving this problem, the ministers were all happy.
No longer afraid of the various counties and counties reporting to bother them!
At the same time, I also harvested delicious vermicelli!
Everyone couldn’t get enough of today’s vermicelli. When we get back home, we must make a big bowl of it for our family and have a great time!
