Chapter two hundred and eight: so delicious
Lu Bu took Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia, Zhen Yi, Zhen Mi, Huang Yueying and other girls to provide guidance on the spot.
Seeing that these farmers had mastered the harvesting skills, Lu Bu directly asked his soldiers to get three big pots and purchased some sweet potatoes, peanuts and corn on the spot.
Then he ordered his soldiers to wash them in public, add water to three large pots, and cook peanuts and corn separately in a pot.
As for sweet potatoes, they should be cut into small pieces and put in them. Otherwise, it will be difficult to cook and cook them directly.
This, just boil it in water? Can this be delicious?
They all saw some salt in the pot of the peanut cooking. As for sweet potatoes and corn, they didn’t even add salt, so it wouldn’t taste delicious just?
Xun Yu, Xun You and Guo Jia all had doubts about this practice and for the first time the new crops were also suspected.
As for those farmers, they couldn't believe that it was delicious.
...
Half an hour passed, the water in the pot started to gushes, and the fragrance began to spread in the air.
"It smells so good, it smells so good!"
"Is this the new food we grow?"
"So delicious? It must be delicious!"
"It's easy to cook, just boil it in clean water, add some salt at most!"
"Yes, this is so good. Look at the harvest, especially the sweet potato, it is so high-yield!"
After cooking for a while, Lu Bu directly ordered the soldiers to turn off the heat, remove the cooked sweet potato, peanuts and corn from the boiling water, and pass the cold water.
Then I served the rice in a pottery bowl and brought it to Lu Bu for taste.
Lu Bu smiled slightly and said to Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia and others: "Come on, how about it?"
Xun Yu, Xun You and Guo Jia all said, "Please please first."
The adults here are being humble, and the children can no longer help it. Huang Yueying can't wait to grab a peanut and put it in her mouth to chew it.
The next moment, Huang Yueying couldn't help but spit out the peanuts in her mouth and said with tears in her eyes: "Brother Lu, it's so unpalatable!"
Xun Yu, Xun You and Guo Jia were all shocked. Is it really that bad?
If this is true, then the new crops are not only useless, but also harmful!
It will greatly dispel the enthusiasm of the people, and even the image of the prefect in the minds of these people will be discounted.
Then they saw Lu Bu laughing and crying, "This peanut is not eaten like this. You need to peel off the shells outside!"
After saying that, Lu Bu stripped a peanut with his own hands, put the peanuts inside into Huang Yueying's mouth and said, "Are you trying it now?"
Huang Yueying chewed carefully for a while, and soon her eyes began to shine. She swallowed it in two bites, grabbed the peanuts and started eating it.
Well, I didn't even bother to talk about how delicious it was, but just by looking at her appearance, you can tell that it must be delicious.
Xun Yu, Xun Yu and Guo Jia also tasted it, and soon the three of them nodded repeatedly and said it was delicious.
After a while, Lu Bu grabbed Huang Yueying and Zhen Mi and said to them: "If you eat too much peanut, you will feel thirsty. You can try this again!"
After saying that, Lu Bu stuffed a corn into their hands.
After the two of them chewed the corn, their eyes couldn't help but brighten.
Oh my God, it’s so delicious! This corn is actually more delicious than peanuts! It’s really incredible!
After a while, Lu Bu asked them to taste the sweet potatoes, which were also delicious!
I didn’t expect that these three new crops were so delicious!
These three new crops are very high-yield and so delicious. Now the people are lucky!
After Huang Yueying and Zhen Mi each ate a small piece of sweet potato, Lu Bu stopped them from eating it.
This thing is delicious, but eating too much will cause bloating. Adults are better, but children are extremely excited.
Zhen Yi suddenly felt the thought of these three new crops that were delicious.
He couldn't help but smile and said to Lu Bu, "Fengxian, this sweet potato, corn and peanuts are really delicious. If we ship it to Luoyang City to sell, we will definitely be able to sell it at a good price!"
Lu Bu smiled and said, "At least this year, I will promote these three crops in the entire Wu County and Kuaiji County next year, and then talk about other ones after all."
Lu Bu needs to ensure that these three new crops will be completely promoted before the entire Dongwu period will be considered for promotion.
Even if it is to be promoted to the outside world, it must be sold at a high price.
After hearing what Lu Bu said, Zhen Yi had to give up, but he felt secretly complaining that it was a pity.
The three of them ate for a while and soon got full.
There were still a lot left outside, so Lu Bu asked his soldiers to take them to eat. If they couldn't eat, they would give them to the people on the scene.
At this time, Huang Yueying looked at Lu Bu with a long eye and asked, "Brother Lu, can Yueying take some back for her father to eat?"
Lu Bu quickly said, "Okay, of course, Yueying is very commendable! Come on, leave some for Yueying first, and divide the rest."
...
The soldiers distributed sweet potatoes, corn and peanuts to the nearby people. These people were embarrassed, but they all took them with them at the insistence of the soldiers.
After tasting it, I nodded repeatedly. I really didn’t expect that these three new crops were so delicious!
This is still the case of boiling in clean water.
Actually, what they don’t know is that it’s almost the best time to cook it in clean water…
After it's done, it's not that delicious.
Lu Bu began to send soldiers to acquire sweet potatoes on the spot.
Sweet potatoes must be stored when they are fresh and stored in the cellar. When they are buried in a warm place in spring next year, many sweet potato seedlings will be released, and these sweet potato seedlings will be planted when planting.
The acquisition price is the original price, once it is 350 yuan.
Not only is the price much higher than rice, but the yield per mu is also unknown how much higher than sweet potatoes. Judging from this, the yield per mu of sweet potatoes is at least twice that of rice, and even more.
If you calculate this way, planting one acre of sweet potatoes is enough to catch up with the three-purpose rice!
This, this is really a big profit!
Many farmers have concluded that if they can still have such a high income next year, at most they will be able to pay off their house loan in one year next year!
Once you pay off your loan, this little life will be amazing just by thinking about it!
Then Lu Bu quickly explained some precautions to these people.
For example, sweet potatoes can be eaten while cooking, but not too much, as eating too much will cause stomach acid.
Eating too much peanuts will cause bloating and thirst.
Moreover, the way to eat sweet potatoes is not only cooked, but also sliced into thin slices, dried and left for a year.
When you eat it, you can spread pancakes or cook porridge. They are all very delicious.
...
Xun Yu, Xun You and Guo Jia, saw the scene of countless people cheering in front of him, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
In the entire Ming Dynasty, probably only the people here would be so happy, right?
It is their luck, the blessing of the people, and the hope of the Han Dynasty!
