Chapter 148 Sweet Potato Flour
Back home, everything is fine!
Zhou Tai arranged for the more than 800 newly brought people to live in the upper courtyard according to the rules of the village. The retainers and nurses lived in the upper courtyard, and the others lived in the lower courtyard or were assigned to the villages at the foot of the mountain.
After dinner with his mother and sister in the evening, Liu Xin went back to his room with a full stomach. Lying on the bed, he felt tired all over his body. The new food he ate was slowly turning into energy, replenishing it for twenty days.
Get what your body needs.
With his mind immersed in the [Lucky Wheel], Liu Xin’s biggest gain from this trip to Xuzhou is actually these [Benevolence Values] and [Loyalty Values], a total of 17 [Benevolence Values] and 6 [Loyalty Values]
, it only took 20 days to get it, and he started spinning the wheel to draw the prize.
There are 17 [Benevolence Wheel] draws for a total of three times [Thank you for your patronage].
The remaining prizes are [a pack of pumpkin seeds]*2, [a thousand kilograms of potatoes]*1, [a pack of grape seeds]*1, [purebred Tibetan Mastiff]*2, two dog-headed jujube saplings*3, [
20 Liancheng White Ducks]*3, [One Persian Cat]*1, [Pack of Chili Seeds]*2.
Liu Xin didn't think anything of not getting the [Dawan Horse]. He had already drawn everything he could get in the [Popularity Wheel]. It was too late to plant saplings, seeds, etc. this year, so Liu Xin planned to plant them in the greenhouse.
Breed some chili peppers so that he doesn't have to eat rice without chili peppers in the future.
Turn the [Loyalty Wheel] to get [Thank you for your patronage] Liu Xin's four items once.
A set of [Dark Iron Fine Armor], a [Fine Steel Halberd], a [Centurion Talisman], and a [Battlefield Medical Kit].
Another pair of [Dark Iron Fine Armor], which was Liu Xin's favorite, and the [Centurion Talisman]. He took out the [Centurion Talisman] and fused it with the [Centurion Talisman] on his body, giving him an additional improvement.
The choice of the captain means that the [Centurion Talisman] can contain 300 people.
After extracting the [Dark Iron Fine Armor] and the [Stainless Steel Halberd], Liu Xin tried it. The fine steel halberd was made of an unknown alloy. The halberd body was light but the head was heavy, weighing about 50 kilograms.
Liu Xin is hard to use.
This time he brought back nearly 4,000 shi of grain from Xuzhou. Liu Xin now has less than 4,000 people in the city and less than 5,000 tenants in other villages outside the city. These grains can almost sustain him until September.
autumn harvest.
After September, he can harvest nearly 10,000 tons of grain, and the more than 200 acres of sweet potatoes on the mountain should be harvested. Based on half of the expected output, one acre of sweet potatoes has 2 tons, and more than 400 tons of sweet potatoes are enough to feed 2,000 people for a year. With grain,
By eating eggs and chicken together, the whole village no longer has to worry about food.
When Liu Xin woke up the next morning, he felt very comfortable all over. He told Zhou Tai that everyone did not need to practice martial arts today and have a good rest. However, Zhou Tai, Wang Hui and others were already busy in the courtyard.
"Why are you up so early? Let's sort out the goods and do it slowly at noon!" Liu Xin said to Zhou Tai when he saw Zhou Tai directing Ding to move the goods into the warehouse.
"My lord, it's better to move this food into the warehouse as soon as possible to avoid getting damp. I will send some salt, cloth, tea and other goods to the city later so that the shops in the city can open early so that we can make money back early," Zhou Tai said.
.
Liu Xin nodded after hearing this. As Liu Xin's first retainer, he must set an example in order to be convincing. If he can sell all the goods he brought back from Xuzhou this time, Liu Xin will get not only monetary rewards, but also
There are also connections and forces within the city.
"You bring 200 gold to Uncle Wang and ask Li Chong to take 10 nursing staff and 50 servants to the city. Don't let the whole city get into chaos when our goods arrive," Liu Xin said.
If Liu Xin can bring so many things back from Xuzhou, the aristocratic family will inevitably cause trouble for him, but his current strength is not something that anyone can afford. At critical moments, he has to give some people a little color, which Liu Xin cannot do
Take action yourself.
"How about I stay in the city recently!" Zhou Tai thought for a moment and said.
"No, Li Zong is enough. You can't do everything by yourself. It's best to let Uncle Wang take care of things in the city. It's easier for him to do errands at the county government," Liu Xin said.
Li Zong is the only guard who has reached the third-rate level this time. Because of his good intelligence, Liu Xin plans to promote him to a family general. It would be best for him to assist Wang Qingxun in the city.
Zhou Tai asked people to pick out a small amount of cloth, salt, tea and other goods, which was enough for the store in the city to open for a week. It was safest to put the things in Qilin Villa. Liu Xin saw that Zhou Tai had assigned tasks to all the generals, and came to the warehouse himself.
among.
There were more than 6 tons of sweet potatoes in the warehouse. Liu Xin didn't let anyone touch them. He took a few to the kitchen, washed them, and put them in the chicken kiln. After half an hour, he took them out and they were already roasted.
Rotten.
After taking a bite, it tasted pretty good. Liu Xin finished a sweet potato weighing two kilograms (small kilogram) and patted his belly with satisfaction. He saw his mother and eldest sister working in the yard and took two over.
"Is this the sweet potato we planted this year? It tastes really good." Mother Liu took a bite and said, and her eldest sister also said that the roasted sweet potato is delicious.
"It feels good to eat it occasionally, but if you eat too much, it might not be delicious." Liu Xin couldn't help but say.
He can't just take these sweet potatoes out. Although cultivating sweet potato seedlings is a bit technical, others may be able to find out if they try too much. Liu Xin is thinking about how to give sweet potatoes to servants and tenants without letting them discover the secret of sweet potatoes.
.
Roast them all and then divide them up? This way, dozens of people would not be allowed to roast the sweet potatoes every day. The servants could only eat them and could not store them. Liu Xin thought about the sweet potato vermicelli, but it would not work to make them as a staple food!
After thinking about the things related to sweet potatoes in later generations, Liu Xin thought that she had once eaten sweet potato powder. She ground cooked rice and sweet potatoes into powder and mixed it with other things. It tasted pretty good.
Liu Xin didn't know what the other things were, but it would be good to mix some flour with sweet potatoes and make people drink it.
Thinking of Liu Xin, he asked people to do it. He asked people to wash and dry the sweet potatoes, and then grind them into powder with a stone mill. He added some rice flour together, washed it with water and tasted it. It tasted good.
It's just that it's difficult to grind sweet potatoes into powder. It needs to be roasted at a slow fire. Ten kilograms of sweet potatoes are ground into powder and only about three kilograms are left. Liu Xin's ratio of three kilograms of rice to seven kilograms of sweet potatoes tastes best.
Liu Xin saw some red dates at home, and asked someone to add some red date powder to it, which made the taste even better.
Zhou Tai came back in the evening and said that many shops in the city had opened. Although some people came to cause trouble, they were resolved by Wang Hui and Li Zong. The aristocratic families in the city would not easily make enemies for themselves. If they were really determined, they would definitely
