After reconciliation, abandoned wives and cubs farm the fields

Chapter 232 Potato Banquet

"The two uncles of the folk woman were exiled to Yanzhou because of their crimes. Thanks to God's favor, my mother reconnected with them after many years. It was from them that the folk woman learned about the customs and customs related to Yanzhou.

In his letter, my uncle said that the harvest in Yanzhou was not good last year. Even if we survived the severe winter, if there was no surplus grain, the spring plowing would not be as early as in Tongzhou.

Housewives have suffered from hunger, and bought expensive food... I don’t know how to explain the truth, and I think it’s selfish to relieve my uncle’s worries and comfort my mother’s longing for relatives. "

Su Nanzhen's words caused the people present to whisper, Pei Songzhi secretly observed the reaction of everyone, his eyes stopped on one person's face, and then he lowered his head.

"The people of Yanzhou are tough, from the county guards down to the common people, how could they allow you, a woman, to point out such a big matter as growing grain?"

"That's right, there is no basis for empty talk. It's just talking on paper if you want to apply the output of your few acres of land in Tongzhou to other places."

"..."

"The folk women know that people speak lightly, and the matter of food is of great importance, so the folk women boldly rely on the power of the emperor to carry out this matter, and hope that the Holy One will see clearly."

"..."

For a while, you and I talked in the court, which was as noisy as a vegetable market.

The emperor looked at them with a dark face, a group of old and young men surrounded a woman, looked at Dandan who knew how to protect his mother at a young age, and was about to stop the crowd, but saw that Dingguo moved, so he didn't move.

"Your Majesty, Miss Su said that whether potatoes are good or not can be decided at the dinner table. I think it is most appropriate to bet and admit defeat. As for Yanzhou people's toughness, it will not overwhelm the emperor's prestige.

Whether it's empty talk or talk on paper, success or failure is what you are concerned about, Miss Su has the courage to bear all the consequences, if you think she is not enough to be convincing on her own, then add me.

A group of old men are not as straightforward as a woman. Although they have concerns, they can't lose the big because of small things. Such good things don't happen every day, the emperor is aware of it. "

The words were rough but not rough, the emperor had a stern face, his gloomy expression dissipated, he had long been displeased with those old courtiers, Su Nanzhen and Duke Ding attacked them so much that he was elated, but he still didn't show the slightest bit.

Just thinking about the end of the matter, but seeing Pei Songzhi moved, the emperor remained silent again with the posture of watching a good show.

"The minister is willing to guarantee."

"The minister is willing to guarantee."

"The minister is willing to guarantee."

Liu Changqin and Fan Huaning came out one after another, both expressing their support for Su Nanzhen.

The court suddenly fell silent, the direction of the wind seemed to have changed, but he didn't know if the emperor's mind had changed, and the minister who had spoken against it just now began to feel uneasy.

Seeing that the time is ripe, Pei Songzhi once again proposed to let Su Nanzhen make a potato feast so that everyone can vote to decide whether the potatoes are worth their labor and effort. When she makes it, the others will almost be hungry.

"There are so many of us, are you sure all of us can agree with the taste of potatoes?" Some people questioned, but don't waste their time, let them wait hungry for her to make a potato feast.

"There are many ways to make potatoes, and there is always one that suits your taste." Su Nanzhen said calmly, "I just hope that the emperor will reward you with something to eat, so that the women will have the strength to cook when they are full."

"Sure." The emperor had a slight smile on his face, which was quite funny, no wonder Pei Songzhi was so precious.

Eunuch Zhao hurried to prepare food for Su Nanzhen and Dandan,
As for the others, they stayed and waited to eat.

When Su Nanzhen was full, she led the egg to the imperial dining room with the snacks wrapped in it.

At this moment, the imperial dining room is busy preparing the lunches for the masters in the palace.

With the support of Eunuch Zhao, Su Nanzhen recruited three imperial chefs to help.

When the potatoes came, she gave a demonstration and asked them to help chop the vegetables.

She first made a dish of stewed pork ribs with potatoes. The Imperial Dining Room had everything they wanted, which was just right for her to show off her skills. The stewed beef with potatoes was also arranged immediately.

She wants so many people to eat potatoes, but she doesn't want to waste too many potatoes. The remaining potatoes are used to make ground three delicacies, hot and sour potato shreds, dry-pot potato chips, spicy potato chips, and mashed potatoes, etc.

One dish after another can make everyone greedy, but these dishes are all served to the ministers.

The emperor tasted it for the first time, but in fact he wanted to taste it again, but Su Nanzhen made such a portion, and he had eaten a lot of it, so he had to wave his hand to let Eunuch Sun pass it on.

Those who like it feel that one bite is not enough. I thought that it is more than 2 catties, so why not make more. Those who don’t like spicy food also feel that a little bit, the taste is very unique and acceptable.

The Empress Dowager heard about it, so she asked Nanny Gui to go to the imperial dining room to ask for some. She has a special liking for mashed potatoes, as well as pork ribs and beef stewed potatoes, which melt in the mouth and have endless aftertaste.

When he arrived at the emperor's side, he ordered stewed pork ribs with potatoes and beef stewed with potatoes. Anyway, the ministers tasted almost the same, and there were not many of these two dishes for the empress dowager, so he ordered Ding Guogong and The prime minister and others are qualified to have a taste.

Others can only smell the taste, they are so greedy, they just taste a little, it is not enough.

After hearing the news from the imperial dining room, Eunuch Sun quickly reminded them to be safe and not to be impatient, and wait, Su Nanzhen is making the last delicious dish.

Everyone was looking forward and looking forward, and they could smell the fragrance from a distance, and their stomachs started to growl.

It's just that none of them thought they were looking forward to potato chips.

Fragrant, crisp, and there are three sticks per person.

They just didn't understand why the emperor had dipping sauce, but they didn't. Seeing that the emperor was still eating with relish, they suddenly felt that although the potato chips in their hands were crispy, something was missing.

Pei Songzhi didn't have that regret, he ate the potato chips made by his future daughter-in-law contentedly.

I thought these dishes were amazing enough, but Su Nanzhen also said that there are still many ways to make potatoes, such as the potato noodles that the empress dowager asked for.

She didn't want to be so troublesome at first, but thinking that if the Empress Dowager could like noodles made of potatoes, she would face much less pressure, so she took the initiative to tell Nanny Gui and made a portion for the Empress Dowager alone.

I tasted so many delicacies all at once, but it wasn't satisfying, my stomach was growling, and I guess I would miss the delicacies I just ate even if I could eat a mouthful of hot rice in a while.

The emperor praised it highly.

Su Nanzhen won the bet without any suspense, and got the imperial decree responsible for promoting the cultivation of potatoes. In return, she reluctantly gave up a hundred catties of potatoes to the emperor, and also taught the imperial chef in the imperial dining room how to make potatoes.

After successfully retiring, Su Nanzhen held the imperial decree in his hand, and led Yao Dan, who was sent by the emperor to assist and protect her, and the escorts hurriedly set off towards Yanzhou.

This time when I came to Yanjing, I didn't have time to reunite with my old friend, so I just took a look from a distance when I was parting.

In the crowd, Fan Jiaomei regretted that she shouldn't have rejected Su Nanzhen.
