Ye Yan never expected that an inadvertent mistake when writing the book would bring him such a big surprise.
Let’s not talk about chili. Even without chili, hot pot can still be made.
But potatoes are very useful.
For ancient times when there was a serious shortage of food, potatoes were as important as the country's most important weapon.
Let's put it this way, the Daqian Dynasty had potatoes, so in theory, as long as there are no other accidents, the Little Ice Age is not impossible to survive.
Of course, these are all too far away for Ye Yan.
Potato's biggest role for him now is that his plan can be realized.
As long as Lin Yucheng is allowed to hand over the potatoes to Ye Yucheng, no one will dare to question Lin Yuanyu's achievements.
His purpose was to make Lin Ranyu the first princess with a different surname since the founding of the Daqian Dynasty.
After becoming the princess, Lin Ranyu's status as a concubine will no longer have any restrictions on her.
With excitement, Ye Yan picked off the potatoes that were only the size of pigeon eggs.
He walked up to Lin Ranyu and said, "Miss Lin Er, I want to give you a good thing."
As he spoke, he put the potatoes into Lin Yuyu's palm.
Lin Ranyu looked at this little gray pimple. This was the first time she had seen it.
She raised her head and looked at Ye Yan: "What is this?"
Ye Yan smiled and said, "Don't you always want to leave the Tutor's Mansion openly? It can help you do it."
Lin Ranyu was startled. Could this thing help her escape from the Tutor's Mansion openly?
Is this the so-called elixir? But she clearly saw that Ye Yan pulled it out of the soil, and the elixir could not grow in the soil.
Even if the elixir is really something that grows in the soil, then Ye Yan's help will not be needed to solve the Bai Li clan's curse.
But from Ye Yan's smile that couldn't be hidden, she knew that Ye Yan didn't lie to her.
At least in Ye Yan's view, this thing could indeed help her escape from the Taifu's Mansion in an honest way.
For Ye Yan, this was more than half of Ye Yan's plan completed, and he had every reason to be happy.
In this case...
Lin Ranyu continued to ask: "What is its function?"
Ye Yan chuckled and said, "I call it a potato, it's something that can be eaten, and its yield is extremely high.
Do you know what this means? This means that no one will go hungry in the Daqian Dynasty.
As long as you give this thing to my father, my father will probably agree to whatever conditions you have.
Didn't I tell you about the Little Ice Age before? With the existence of potatoes, the Little Ice Age is not an unsolvable problem. "
"Eat?" Lin Ranyu never imagined that this thing called potatoes could be eaten.
Ye Yan nodded: "Yes, it is not only edible, but also very delicious.
This time I entered the Land of Peach Blossoms, and I really made a lot of money.
If I don't discover it, this thing will stay here forever and no one cares about it. "
Although the Bai Li people discovered that potatoes are edible, judging from the way the Bai Li people treat potatoes, they don't attach much importance to this thing.
But think about it, the Bai Li people are never short of food, and potatoes are indeed not a very special thing to them.
Hearing what Ye Yan said, Lin Yuyu raised the potato in her palm to the tip of her nose and sniffed it.
I found that there was no other smell except the earthy smell.
So she opened her mouth and tried to taste it.
If this thing is really what Ye Yan said, then this will be a great achievement.
Most of Ye Yan's plan was completed, so some of the ideas in her heart could be implemented.
Seeing this, Ye Yan grabbed her wrist and stopped her.
It's not impossible to eat raw potatoes. As long as you eat less, you won't have a bad stomach.
It's just that it won't taste very good if eaten like this.
Besides, Lin Ranyu looked a bit silly like this.
In the famous novel "A Dream of Red Mansions" that he has read, Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden just like that.
But this is normal. The information gap between modern people and ancient people is really too different.
"That's not how you eat potatoes. During lunch, I'll show you the correct way to eat potatoes."
Speaking of this, Ye Yan paused.
There are so many ways to eat potatoes. After thinking about it, he decided to arrange it according to the plot of the novel.
"I'll cook you a famous dish - Di San Xian."
If it had been anyone else, they might have left it at that.
But Lin Yuyu was none other than the female villain.
Regarding Ye Yan's plan, except for the last point, her desire to complete the plan was no less urgent than Ye Yan's.
She had to wait until noon, but she couldn't wait that long.
"What will happen if you eat it raw?"
"Uh..." It's too troublesome to explain. Telling the ancients about the health of eating is probably like playing the piano to an ox.
In the end, Ye Yan shrugged and said, "If you want to eat it raw, at least peel off the outer skin first."
Hearing this, Lin Yuyu easily peeled off the outer layer of skin on the potato and threw it directly into his mouth to chew.
There was a click, and the potatoes broke into pieces.
At the same time, Lin Ranyu's beautiful brows also wrinkled slightly.
The moment she threw the potatoes into her mouth, Ye Yan had been paying attention to her expression.
Seeing her like this, the corners of Ye Yan's mouth twitched slightly.
It seems that the taste of eating raw potatoes is indeed not a good experience for Lin Yuyu.
In the end, Ye Yan couldn't help it anymore and bent over and laughed.
He couldn't help but laugh. This was the first time in his life that he saw someone eating potatoes alive.
The ancients were just too tough.
The key thing is that Lin Yuyu is an extremely beautiful person with a strong personality.
This is probably what people often say.
Amidst Ye Yan's laughter, Lin Ranyu couldn't hold on anymore and spit out the potato dregs.
Then, she took advantage of Ye Yan's laughter and put it directly into Ye Yan's mouth.
In just a moment, Ye Yan felt what raw potatoes tasted like.
Numb, astringent and slightly sweet, he dared not close his mouth at all.
"Let you laugh at me." Lin Yuyu said a word and turned around to leave.
Ye Yan quickly spat it out.
What is this? Did he eat Lin Yuanyu’s imported potatoes?
The other time-travelers only ate the school belle’s imported candy, but he was stuffed with a mouthful of raw potatoes.
The key thing is that the other party is still a female villain with a bad temper.
Although he didn't find it disgusting, after all, he was an orphan when he was a child and had the experience of eating other people's leftovers, but raw potatoes really didn't taste good at all.
Lin Ranyu didn't have any bonus from the goddess bUff when he was here. Because of his experience at Qingyun Temple, he had a certain fondness for Lin Ranyu, but he felt that he was just a buddy.
If it were an eldest lady, maybe Ye Yan would be able to accept it.
