Cao Cao has eaten countless delicacies from the mountains and seas, but now, when he smelled the fragrance of sweet potatoes, he couldn't help but speak with excitement and anticipation. He couldn't wait to ask: "Your Majesty, can you eat it?"
Lu Xuan took the chopsticks and inserted them into the pot, raking the sweet potatoes until they were soft. He looked at Zhuge Liang aside and asked, "Kong Ming, do you have any bowls and chopsticks?"
"have!"
Zhuge Liang replied neither humble nor arrogantly.
As soon as he waved, a Nanjing County government servant had already handed over the prepared spoon and bowl. Zhuge Liang took it and poured it into bowls one by one. Each bowl has a little sweet potato clear soup and four pieces of sweet potato.
This is a taste.
Cao Cao was most eager for sweet potatoes because food was what he looked forward to most. Cao Cao blew a few quick breaths and took a small sip of the sweet potato soup.
In an instant, Cao Cao's eyes lit up.
There is a hint of sweetness.
It tastes pretty good.
Cao Cao picked up another piece of cooked sweet potato. The chopsticks were soft and could not be used with force. He blew it twice and then ate it directly. When the sweet potato entered his mouth, it tasted completely different from potatoes.
It's slightly sweeter, softer, and overall tastes good.
Cao Cao was even more excited.
Although potatoes are good, foods like sweet potatoes are more useful. Add some sweet potatoes when making porridge or porridge to fill your stomach. This is definitely an excellent food that can really solve hunger.
Cao Cao looked around and saw that many people had eaten sweet potatoes. In addition, the sweet potatoes placed in the fire had also been roasted. They were taken out and divided into the hands of many people. Cao Cao took one to try.
Roasted sweet potatoes have a softer, sweeter flavor.
When boiled, the sweetness of sweet potatoes is diluted. The roasted sweet potatoes are ripe and all the sugar is locked in the sweet potatoes, making them extremely sweet when you bite into them. The most important thing is that the rake is extremely soft and effortless.
This is Cao Cao's favorite.
This kind of food is destined to be liked by countless people, and Cao Cao immediately thought of many old people. The old people must like to eat sweet potatoes.
tasty!
Easy to digest!
Cao Cao heard many people around him say they were delicious, saw the shocked expressions on their faces, and the admiring expressions on their faces. He turned to look at Lu Xuan, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, sweet potatoes benefit the country and the people. Even food like this, It can be said to be a powerful weapon for the country, which can ensure that the people do not go hungry."
"Great King Shengming!"
Suddenly, people in the crowd shouted.
"Great King Shengming!"
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
"Long live your Majesty!"
"Long live your Majesty!"
More and more people shouted loudly. These people were completely shocked when they saw piles of sweet potatoes dug out in the sweet potato fields after trying some sweet potatoes.
There was news in the city that Lu Xuan's grain could produce three thousand kilograms per mu. Many people didn't believe it at all. They just thought it was a fantasy. They thought such a thing was simply impossible. It was just Lu Xuan's exaggeration.
Now, I completely believe it.
The most important thing is, after tasting sweet potatoes, you know that such food can have a big effect.
The shouts gradually became unified and soared into the sky.
Lu Xuan heard the shouts of the people and looked at the unified situation around him, with a bright smile on his face.
To call the people here is to let the people bear witness.
Many people like to chat, saying that my friend’s friends know what news, and my seventh aunt and eighth aunt’s son know what inside information. Now that these people have tasted and seen sweet potatoes, they will naturally talk about it, and the news will spread completely.
Countless people will know about sweet potatoes, and they will become more curious, further creating a sense of expectation for sweet potatoes.
Lu Xuan raised his hand and lowered it, nodding in greeting.
After a while, the shouting ended completely, and Lu Xuan said loudly: "Folks, we have many people, and one acre of sweet potato land is about to be dug out. Now, let's wait and see. How many kilograms can we expect from one acre of land?"
A pair of eyes fell on the sweet potato field.
The people in charge were still busy, and while they were harvesting, some people took back bigger sweet potatoes. After Lu Xuan had someone weigh him, he found that it was a full ten kilograms and four ounces, exceeding the previous weight again.
Lu Xuan looked at Cao Cao and said with a smile: "Father-in-law, did you see it? This has exceeded ten kilograms. This is just one acre of land. When all the sweet potato fields are dug out, I'm afraid there will be thirteen or four kilograms of sweet potatoes."
Cao Cao was not disappointed at all.
Although he lost to Lu Xuan, the sweet potato's weight broke through. He felt that this was a great good thing and benefited the country and the people.
Cao Cao said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty."
Lu Xuan said: "Father-in-law, I should be delighted. You will also be able to use these grains in the future. Once we win your fiefdom, we can promote it on a large scale."
"Yep!"
Cao Cao nodded hastily.
In the future, when Lu Xuan expands overseas and has his own territory, he can grow these grains on a large scale.
Lu Xuan and Cao Cao were chatting, and the people continued to harvest. When the last sweet potato vines were cut off and the last sweet potato was dug out, the people responsible for wiping off the soil put the last batch of sweet potatoes into baskets and put them into baskets. Baskets of sweet potatoes were brought out.
Then, weigh them one by one.
The person in charge of statistics quickly made statistics. When the last basket of sweet potatoes was weighed and all the data were added up, the person in charge hurried to Lu Xuan's side. He looked excited and his face turned red. He said loudly: "Your Majesty." , the sweet potato yield from this acre of land reaches 5,300 kilograms.”
boom! !
The buzz around him became even louder.
Five thousand three hundred pounds!
This far exceeded the three thousand kilograms mentioned by Lu Xuan.
The difference between three thousand catties and five thousand catties is extremely huge. Especially in this era when people farmed, it was excellent to harvest three to four hundred catties from one acre of land. Now, one acre of land suddenly has 5,300 kilograms of sweet potatoes, which is beyond everyone’s imagination.
If you don't see it with your own eyes, it's impossible to believe it. However, the mining of sweet potatoes, from the initial cutting of vines, to excavation, to final weighing, was witnessed by everyone with their own eyes. Moreover, the sweet potatoes were all fresh and the land was full of soil. They had not changed and there was no way to fake it.
This is absolutely true.
"Long live your Majesty!"
In the crowd, people suddenly shouted again.
"Long live your Majesty!"
"Long live your Majesty!"
Many people even shouted, and countless people even knelt down and kowtowed to Lu Xuan. Everyone knows that if Lu Xuan has such sweet potatoes, he must promote them. The people will benefit, and the people will no longer be hungry.
Exactly like this, countless people were extremely excited.
The shouts soared into the sky.
The people were extremely excited.
The whole scene was a complete blast.
Not only the people around him were excited, everyone around Lu Xuan, whether it was Zhang Zhao, Cao Cao, Xun Yu, Zhou Yu, Zhao Yun, etc., were all shocked by the yield per mu.
Everyone was surprised by the huge yield of sweet potatoes.
Five thousand three hundred pounds!
If you cultivate an acre of land, you will get a huge harvest, which can definitely ensure that the family will not starve to death. The difference between having enough food and good food is huge. In troubled times, when people are starving everywhere, a bowl of water can save their lives.
It is for this reason that sweet potatoes are particularly precious.
