There is a saying, although potatoes do not meet the standard of staple food for Chinese people, they are indeed a good thing to fill the stomach.
Moreover, the most important thing is that the yield of potatoes is the same as that of sweet potatoes, which are high-yield crops. The reason why Wei Cheng admires potatoes so much is, on the one hand, their high economic value, and on the other hand, he also takes into account his big plans in a few years.
Of course, sweet potatoes also need to be promoted, but their value is obviously not as high as potatoes. This has been verified in later farmers' markets.
After a sumptuous and varied potato feast, Wei Cheng was 100% sure that the heads of various aristocratic families would definitely praise the potatoes when they returned home.
Had lunch. Wei Cheng politely put everyone on the rickshaw and ended today's trip. Looking back, his aunt Wei Min, his aunt Wei Ning, and the two 'new neighbors' were still waiting for him at the door.
Wei Cheng stepped forward and asked, "Are you two aunts busy?" Wei Ning smiled sweetly, looked back at Liu He, and said, "If Cheng'er has nothing to do this afternoon, why don't you take us for a walk?" Wei Cheng looked at it. He raised his hands to Liu He, who was standing behind Weining, and said, "Two aunties were joking. I'm afraid you are more familiar with this Anyi County town than I am..."
"Do you have anything else to do?"
"Well, it's okay." Wei Ning said with a smile: "Then let's get married, let's go, let's go shopping with us, just relax." Wei Cheng smiled bitterly,
"Okay, okay." There is a big difference whether Wei Cheng is following or not. At least there is no need to crowd around.
When the city guards saw Wei Cheng traveling, they were very vigilant and cleared the way to ensure the safety of Wei Cheng and his party without affecting pedestrians as much as possible.
This is also one of the responsibilities of the city guard, and it is also Wei Cheng's small privilege that others do not have.
"Do you two aunts want to buy anything?" Wei Cheng felt a little bored when he saw that the four girls were just shopping and not buying.
After Wei Ning heard this, he exchanged some words with Liu He who was beside him. Liu He raised his eyes to look at Wei Cheng, quickly avoided Wei Cheng's gaze, and whispered a few words to Wei Ning.
Wei Ning chuckled and said to Wei Cheng: "Cheng'er, the potato feast at noon was basically salty, and now I'm a little thirsty. Let's see if there are any drink recommendations. Forget about wine."
"Are they all salty?" Wei Cheng asked doubtfully: "No, mashed potatoes...oh." Halfway through, he remembered that the 'new neighbor' was a salty party.
Wei Cheng looked around, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He pointed at a newly opened teahouse and said, "Just in time, I'll take you to taste a unique drink, haha." Liu He followed Wei Cheng's gaze and saw that it was It's a small teahouse that's not very big. What's most surprising is that the teahouse's signboard actually says the words "A wisp of takeaway".
As I got closer, I saw that the teahouse has a very unique name...Happy Sweet Potato! Moreover, there were actually people standing in front of this small teahouse. Two long queues stretched from the entrance of the shop to more than ten steps away.
Wei Cheng's appearance caused some minor commotion. Knowing that Master Bingzhou Mu also had to line up, the people in front consciously gave up their seats.
Wei Cheng did not shirk pretentiously. He held his hand all the way and led the four girls of Wei Ning directly to the front of the line.
When the busy clerk saw Wei Cheng, he hurriedly came out to salute. Wei Cheng said with a smile: "No need to be polite, just treat us as ordinary guests." The shopkeeper in charge of this small teahouse was a woman in her early thirties. She hurried out of the kitchen and bowed to Wei Cheng.
Wei Cheng said with a smile: "Business is pretty good. I didn't expect it to be so popular." The woman was a cook in the Wei Mansion, and she had helped Aunt Niu cook for Wei Cheng before. It was also because of this opportunity that Wei Cheng Let her run this small teahouse.
"The tea developed by Mr. Er is delicious and reasonably priced. Business has been booming since its opening."
"That's good, you go and do your work, don't worry about me." The woman nodded slightly, bowed to Wei Min and Wei Ning before leaving, and then walked into the kitchen to get busy.
Wei Cheng took the menu from the trembling clerk, handed it to Wei Min, and said, "Two aunties, let's see what you like to drink." Wei Min took the menu and browsed it curiously, and found that they were all interesting. Names, but without exception, the last two words are [milk tea].
Without waiting for her to ask, Wei Cheng ordered two cups of room temperature original milk tea for himself and Xu Chu. Wei Min and Wei Ning looked at each other, then compared the contents of the menu, and roughly understood what it meant. They lowered their heads to study for a while with Liu He.
"I'll have a cup of pearl milk tea, and you'll have a cup of brown sugar milk tea. Let's switch drinks. Dian... what kind of flavor does sister He want?" Liu He took the menu and browsed it up and down. His eyes fell on the second to last line. The poem he copied on the rice paper flashed through his mind, and he said mysteriously: "Red bean milk tea." As soon as he finished speaking, Liu He suddenly remembered that Wei Cheng was still there, and looked towards him inexplicably panicked, and saw Wei Cheng talking with him. Xu Chu seemed to have not heard his own voice when he spoke, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Wei Min and Wei Ning looked at each other and smiled, and the two sisters raised their eyebrows in tacit agreement. Not long after, six cups of milk tea were made. After all, Wei Cheng was here in person, and the job of making milk tea was directly taken over by the shopkeeper. In terms of taste and appearance, it was naturally not something that a few apprentices who had only studied for a few days could compare with.
"Second Master, these two cups are original." The cook personally delivered them. Wei Teng nodded and had a drink with Xu Chu.
The cup is made of clay, the straw is a bamboo strip, the lid is covered with oil paper, fixed with hemp rope, and carefully tied with a beautiful bow.
The fourth daughter of Wei Ning followed Wei Cheng's example and pierced the oil paper with a sharpened bamboo stick, stirred it up, took a sip from the bamboo stick.
"Wow, this pearl milk tea is delicious!" Wei Min exclaimed. Wei Ning quickly agreed: "Yeah, brown sugar is delicious, and there are little glutinous fruits in it."
"Mine is the same. It feels very elastic when bitten, with the sweetness of milk tea, and the taste is very memorable." The two girls were so surprised that they did not forget to order the red bean milk tea from Liu He and Xi'er.
Liu He also took a sip at this time. Although she was salty when eating mashed potatoes, it didn't mean that she didn't like sweets.
She liked the cakes and snacks made by Hao Niang very much.
"How is it? Does your red bean milk tea taste good?" Weining asked with a half-smile. Liu He gently chewed the red beans and 'pearls' in his mouth, his eyes changed from calmness to surprise, and then to a refreshing sense of satisfaction.
"Well, it tastes delicious!" She couldn't help but look back at Wei Cheng. Could this be the so-called taste of lovesickness?
Unfortunately, Wei Cheng and Xu Chu were talking and laughing and didn't notice her gaze at all. Liu He felt discouraged and depressed for no reason. This was an experience she had never had in seventeen years, and it made her feel slightly flustered.
"I hope you can pick more of them. This is the most lovesick thing... I really envy Sister Cai..." Take a sip, the red beans are sweet.
Unfortunately, it doesn't belong to me.
