"It doesn't matter! It's just a few ordinary plants! What threat can it pose?" Dongfang Yu whispered.
In ancient times! Both the people and the king believed in the theory of gods and ghosts. For example, earthquakes were considered by the ancients to be divine punishment sent down by the wrath of heaven; another example is tsunamis, which are said to be caused by the Dragon King of the East China Sea and so on.
For now, take some plants that are encroaching on crops! There are many wild plants that are edible and have very high nutritional value. Because they have overrun and occupied the land, they are considered by the people to be a punishment from God and a natural disaster.
Dongfang Yu squatted down and randomly picked up a small, palm-sized object that was not completely round from the pile of discarded hay. It's covered in some mud, and it's hard to tell what it is yet.
but! According to Dongfang Yu's intuition, in this environment with the right climate, it should be what he has in mind.
Gently wipe away the mud on the top, and the outline of the fruit will be fully visible, and the fruit will appear light yellow. With just a slight glance, Dongfang Yu's solemn face immediately showed a smile of great joy.
He muttered, "Yes! Yes! It's indeed a potato! It's still wild."
Taking advantage of the surprise, Dongfang Yu hurriedly picked apart a few again. Unexpectedly, he pulled them out and was surprised again. In addition to wild potatoes, he actually touched a slender ivy.
sky! It turned out to be wild sweet potatoes, commonly known as sweet potatoes.
Potatoes and sweet potatoes, these two crops are not only full of food, but they are also crops with huge production volume!
Dongfang Yu's vast amount of stored knowledge is enough to enable mass production of these two things from February to March next year.
In places like Beiliang, which belongs to the northwest region, in summer and autumn, the temperature during the day can reach more than 30 degrees Celsius, and at night it tends to be about 1 or 2 degrees Celsius. The temperature difference between day and night is still very large. In winter, if not harvested, the low temperature for a long time is enough to damage all potatoes, sweet potatoes and other crops, so they will not be harvested! That would be a waste of resources.
But what if he installed a greenhouse? With his knowledge base, potatoes and sweet potatoes can grow normally all year round in spring, summer, autumn and winter. and! For crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes, cellars can be dug and long-term storage is not a problem.
in this way! In less than a year, the famine in Beiliang will be wiped out; everyone in Beiliang will have enough to eat. By then! Under the coherence, the people will be rich and sincerely united, and the army of Beiliang will have no worries about their future and will do their best. Looking at the armies of all states in the world, only the Qin army of Beiliang can be called the best army in the world.
Although he was overjoyed, Yu Wenhu was shocked, "Why is the young master so happy?"
In his eyes, the thoughts in his mind are consistent with the thoughts of the people. In Dongfang Yu's eyes, the treasure is just a pile of useless garbage. To put it more generally, it is the main culprit that harms crops.
Dongfang Yu picked up a potato or sweet potato, spread it in the palm of his hand, and said to the two elderly people, "Old man! Do you know what this is?"
"Isn't this a disaster from heaven, but why is the young master so happy?" The two old men were puzzled.
Dongfang Yu shook his head with a smile on his face, while also secretly mocking the ignorance of the ancients, "These two things are called potatoes and sweet potatoes, and they are also called potatoes and sweet potatoes. Of course! You have never heard of them, but you only need to know that these two things are It is not a disaster, but a blessing given to us by God! It is a gift from God, not a natural disaster."
The reason why I say it is a gift from God is just to find an excuse to make people believe it! after all! In this feudal-minded world, we would rather believe in God than in people.
Naturally, the two families didn't believe it. They felt that Dongfang Yu was bullying them, and deliberately made things up to deceive them. "Young Master Xiu wants to talk nonsense. This thing grows all over the mountains and plains, blocking the news and opening up wasteland. It is obviously an unknown thing."
"Moreover! It is said that a hundred years ago, someone ate this thing called potato alive and died of poisoning. How can such a harmful thing be said to be a gift from God?"
No wonder he was poisoned!
Potatoes do not need to be cooked in hot water, and generally cannot be eaten raw because they are easily poisoned. For those potatoes that have sprouted a little, they should be dug deeply to remove the sprouted parts, peeled and soaked for more than half an hour, discard the soaking water, and add water to boil them thoroughly before eating. Potatoes that are rotten, moldy, or immature with purple skin and lots of buds cannot be eaten because they contain excessive amounts of solanine, which can easily cause poisoning.
What a bunch of idiots who left their brains at home. It would be strange not to die.
Dongfang Yu patiently said again: "Potatoes are easily poisoned when eaten raw, but they are indeed good things. If you don't believe it, just wait and see."
"Yu Wenhu, make a fire on the spot. I want to roast potatoes and sweet potatoes."
ah!
Are these potatoes and sweet potatoes really edible? Yuwen Hu really couldn’t believe it.
But he would not go against Dongfang Yu's will, so he picked up a pile of firewood next to him and took out the sparks that he kicked on his chest.
After a while! A raging fire ignited.
Dongfang Yu randomly picked up a few potatoes and sweet potatoes, rubbed the soil off them, and stuffed them directly under the ashes.
this……
at this time! The two old men also became curious, and their eyes looked expectantly at the potatoes and sweet potatoes in the fire. If these two things are really edible, there will be plenty of them all over the mountains and plains. If we collect them all, we will definitely not go hungry again this winter.
After a while, Dongfang Yu held a small stick in his hand and turned over the potatoes and sweet potatoes placed in the dust.
"It's cooked, it's cooked!" Dongfang Yu murmured to himself.
Baked potatoes, baked sweet potatoes, these things are as delicious as the world! Ever since I traveled across time, I haven't touched two things in more than ten years.
He was also confused. Although he was the least popular in the palace, things like potatoes and sweet potatoes should be very common. But now he knows, it turns out! These two things have been abandoned by the world and are a waste of natural resources.
pity! Pity!
"Huh...huh...huh..."
Dongfang Yu couldn't help but pick one up. The surface temperature was particularly hot. He held it in his hand and tossed it left and right while blowing on it.
Gently tear it apart from the middle, still steaming.
"Um……"
"Young...Young Master..."
Before Yu Wenhu could stop the taste, Dongfang Yu took a bite.
"It smells so good!" This earthy smell is really worth remembering! Don’t forget to remind others, “Don’t be stunned! Eat! It tastes delicious.”
Dongfang Yu ate with gusto, and the three of them swallowed saliva as they watched. These are called potatoes and sweet potatoes, are they really edible?
do not care!
Yu Wenhu also picked up one, broke it open, and put it into his mouth.
After taking a few bites, Yu Wenhu's eyes lit up, "Young...boy, this baked potato is really amazing, it's so delicious."
"Fellow, you two should try it too!"
"this……"
The two old men also picked up a potato each, still hesitant.
However, with Dongfang Yu and Yu Wenhu taking the lead, they broke it open and took a bite.
"Old... old woman, this thing... is so... delicious."
"Young Master is right, it's a gift from God, what is it?"
Excited, I took a few more bites. The taste of the food is not at all inferior to the taste of wheat.
