Zhu Youxiao and his wife were amazed after tasting it, and kept asking about the planting and storage conditions.
Tang Yudao: "Corn is a temperature-loving crop, and the Ming Dynasty is now in a period of cold climate. However, this problem does not exist in the south. Even in the north, there is no problem in planting one season after the beginning of spring. However, potatoes are different. Your Majesty, wait a moment, I will bring the potatoes."
Ergou stood up quickly: "I'll go."
Tang Yu nodded.
Soon, Ergou brought over a complete plate of roasted potatoes, and the cooks brought out the potato dishes.
Zhu Youxiao said in surprise: "These are potatoes. In my imagination, I thought they were small round beans like soybeans."
Tang Yu smiled.
"Potatoes are a cold-loving crop and have much lower land requirements than corn. Historically, after potatoes were introduced to China, they were very suitable for growing in alpine areas where food yields were extremely low. They quickly spread over the grasslands (Inner Mongolia). , Hebei, Shanxi, and northern Shaanxi."
"This time the food that the King Xian brought to Shaanxi, Shanxi, Hebei and other areas was mainly potatoes. The average yield was about three thousand kilograms. It played a great role in stabilizing the population of China."
Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "Okay! I like the cold! Great! This potato is really suitable for my Ming Dynasty!"
Huang Xiao also smiled slightly: "When Tang Yu prepared for me to grow grain, he also taught me a lesson. I was curious about why there were so many potatoes. After Tang Yu explained, I suddenly understood, haha , In this regard, Tang Yu is worthy of being a top student of the Agricultural College, and I feel inferior to him!"
Tang Yu smiled.
"Young master, you've given me a reward."
Tang Yu took a plate of bread and placed it in front of Zhu Youxiao and his wife.
"Your Majesty, Madam, this is bread made from potatoes, please try it."
Zhang Yan was surprised: "Is this made of potatoes?"
No wonder Zhang Yan was surprised, because the bread was golden in color, extremely fluffy and soft, and compared to the unattractive appearance of potatoes, it was completely unrecognizable as a kind of food.
Zhu Youxiao took a piece and put it in his mouth.
"tasty!"
"My dear brother, Baozhu, Ergou, you should also try it."
Several people ate a piece.
Zhang Yan's beautiful eyes lit up: "It's quite delicious!"
Tang Yudao: "After potatoes were introduced to Western France from the Americas, people discovered that they could be used to make bread, and they were planted in large quantities in the West. Bread is one of the staple foods of Westerners, but our Chinese food culture has a long history and has flowed into our Chinese culture. After that, the eating options become extremely rich!”
Tang Yu tasted and explained other potato dishes to the two of them one by one.
Zhu Youxiao sighed: "Sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn, these three crops are really a godsend to our people of the Ming Dynasty. America is indeed a natural treasure. No wonder the Western barbarians will try their best to take it for themselves. Xian Brother, thank you for bringing all of this to Ming Dynasty. With these, I believe that countless people will be alive!"
"Miss Tang's knowledge is outstanding. If my dear brother hadn't given her another appointment, I would have really wanted to appoint her as the chief agricultural officer!"
Tang Yu smiled and said: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty! In fact, as long as our Ming Dynasty implements the new policies formulated by Your Majesty and the Wise King, coupled with the support of various high-yielding grains in the immortal world, famine can definitely be eliminated, and many natural disasters, in fact, They are all caused by man-made disasters! Whether I am an official or not is not important."
Huang Xiao nodded: "What Tang Yu said makes sense. The people of the Ming Dynasty are actually very easy to feed. All they want is to have enough food, and they are not so picky about food. As long as man-made disasters are eliminated, peace will be around the corner!"
"Okay!" Zhu Youxiao laughed and said, "I feel much more relieved after hearing Brother Xian and Miss Tang say this. As for man-made disasters, haha! Whoever harms my people, I will destroy them!"
Tang Yu looked at Zhu Youxiao with reverence: "Your Majesty has extraordinary bearing and cares about the people. Tang Yu admires him!"
Tang Yu's admiring gaze made Zhu Youxiao extremely happy!
He laughed loudly: "Thank you for the compliment, Miss Tang! Tonight, the Queen and I tasted Miss Tang's cooking skills and we are very satisfied! We also enjoyed our meal very much!"
Zhang Yan smiled and nodded.
Zhu Youxiao said: "It's getting late. Brother Xian, Miss Tang, and Ergou have to mint coins and orbs. Let's go."
Huang Xiao nodded.
Left with four people.
"Ergou, you drive to the factory, and I will send the money to the warehouse."
"yes!"
Ergou took the car keys, said goodbye to Zhu Youxiao and the others, got in the car and went with Tang Yu.
Huang Xiao took Zhu Youxiao and his wife back to Qianqing Palace.
"Eldest brother, sister-in-law, and younger brother are gone."
Zhu Youxiao said: "Thank you for your hard work, dear brother."
Huang Xiao smiled, said goodbye to the two of them, and left.
"Baozhu, I am so happy that you are in good health. I have suffered so much for you these past few years."
Zhang Yan smiled faintly: "Thank you for your concern, your majesty. It's night, your majesty will have a rest early, and I will leave."
"Well, go ahead."
Although he and Zhang Yan were still respectful to each other, Zhu Youxiao was not as depressed as he was a few days ago.
He took out the books Huang Xiao specially purchased for him and started reading!
Compared with one's own family affairs, state affairs are naturally more important.
Huang Xiao went to the warehouse to pick up ten boxes of silver bullion and sent them to Hongxing Machinery Factory.
Tang Yu whispered: "Master, I have contacted Mike to purchase a batch of strong gunpowder. They are all flowing out from Ermao. The source is from the stick transfer exit. They are all remotely controlled and timed."
Huang Xiao looked at Tang Yu with great appreciation.
"Very good!"
"Thank you so much for staying up late at night and having to..."
Tang Yu interrupted: "What does it mean to be able to make Xiaoli pay the price?"
Huang Xiao nodded: "Very good, well done, God is really helping me! Haha!"
"Er Gou, for a while, you are mainly going to take care of me and let Xiao Tang have some rest. Do you understand?"
"Yes, don't worry, young master."
Tang Yu made a few more suggestions, and after discussing the details, Huang Xiao left.
The celebration was getting closer and closer to his wedding day, and Huang Xiao had to check the preparations.
The other thing is to go to the Japanese country to do something, and go there later to investigate on the spot.
At the same time, we also need to get some matching things.
Back in the courtyard, Huang Xiao turned on the computer and started busy.
…
At this moment, in Dahuangzhuang Academy, Fang Yizhi was talking excitedly to Zuo Maodi and a large group of students.
After he returned to the college, he immediately began research on wired telegraphs and telephones, and enlisted the help of Zuo Maodi and two other classmates.
However, he underestimated everyone's curiosity. After a classmate accidentally revealed Fang Yizhi's research, the students were shocked!
So there was a scene in front of me.
These students all responded to the call of the Ming Dynasty Daily and entered Dahuang Village to study and prepare for the exam.
Fang Yizhi was a little annoyed that things were leaked before they were completed.
