Chapter 726 Potatoes and Cotton

Baijia shop ended its business day in a bustle.

The rare items from Southeast Asia in the shop attracted half the people in the capital to watch and make purchases.

Soon the shop was half empty.

Half a month ago, Bai Sanzhuang's ship in Nanyang returned successfully with Cheng Mei's fleet. On the night of the opening of the Bai family's shop in Beijing, Yan Guanjia and Hu Shuanzi escorted the latest batch of goods to Beijing to replenish the shop. gap.

When Mrs. Bai saw Hu Shuanzi, she kept asking about Aunt Hu's situation.

When Hu Shuanzi arrived in Huaicheng, he came to the capital to deliver goods before he could return to Shenshu Village.

Old Mrs. Bai naturally felt regretful and wanted to give some good things from the capital to Shuanzi so that he could bring them to Aunt Hu when he left.

Accompanying Hu Shuanzi to the capital were some young men from Shenshu Village. They were all the guys who followed Bai Sanzhuang's ship to Nanyang.

When the Bai family met the people of Shenshu Village in the capital, they naturally felt extremely happy and cordial, so they held a banquet in the shop to cleanse everyone.

Xiao Fuyuan asked Butler Yan to inquire about Cheng Mei's current situation.

Butler Yan said that Cheng Mei would be coming to Beijing soon and handed several boxes to Xiao Fuyuan, saying that they were gifts from Cheng Mei to Xiao Fuyuan.

After Butler Yan delivered the box, he was led by the guys to eat and drink.

Xiao Fuyuan opened the box given to her by Cheng Mei in the shop.

There was a big box in it. After opening it, Gululu rolled out a bunch of round things.

Small in size and yellow in color, Xiao Fuyuan didn't recognize what it was for a moment.

"Little aunt, it can't be another variety of sweet potato, right?" Dalang picked up one, held it in his hand and looked at it from left to right. He felt that except for the color of the skin, it looked a little similar to a small sweet potato.

"Could it be potatoes?" Xiao Fukuoka muttered.

"Potatoes? What are those?" Saburo asked using his chef's instinct, "Can I cook?"

Xiao Fuyuan nodded and said: "It is more suitable for cooking than sweet potatoes. It can be used to stew meat, stir-fry alone, and even make French fries."

Dalang and Sanlang's eyes lit up when they heard this.

What Dalang was thinking about was how much such a good thing would cost.

What Sanlang was thinking about was how delicious it would be to make dishes out of such good things.

However, they have no doubts about why their little aunt knows so much. In their hearts, it is normal for their little aunt to know this.

Xiao Fuyuan asked Dalang and Sanlang to hold the potatoes and run inside to the reception area.

"Xiao Yuan Bao, you are here. We have brought you a box of gadgets. Let your brother Du Nian find it for you later." Hu Shuanzi smiled when he saw Xiao Fu Yuan. He originally wanted to give you a hug to soak up the blessings. Think about it, little Fuyuan has grown into a big girl and is no longer suitable to be held.

"Thank you, Brother Shuanzi." Xiao Fuyuan said with a smile.

Then, he pointed to the round potatoes in Dalang and Sanlang's arms and asked Butler Yan: "Are these potatoes?"

Butler Yan? ?

He didn't recognize it.

"Potato?"

Xiao Fuyuan nodded.

"We don't know what this is. Last time I heard your third brother say that you like rare plants. When Mr. Cheng saw some unfamiliar rare things on the island, he pulled them all out and brought them to you. There seem to be some in other boxes too. ." Butler Yan said.

"Xiao Yuan Bao, this thing can be eaten as a meal. I saw local people on the island roasting it over a fire and eating it. It's very delicious." Hu Shuanzi explained to Xiao Fu Yuan.

Xiao Fuyuan understood in her heart that this was a potato, but Nanyang didn't call it a potato, and she didn't know what it was called.

It doesn’t matter what they are called, as long as they are potatoes.

Xiao Fuyuan took Dalang Sanlang out again, ran to the shop, and opened other boxes.

She found that there were tomatoes and green smelling grass inside. She smelled it and it smelled like coriander.

There was also a box of black particles that went straight toward her nose. They might be pepper, but she wasn't sure.

There are also some other seasonings that I don’t recognize.

Saburo is indeed a chef living inside his body. He pointed to the smelly leaves and particles and said, "This one can remove the fishy smell, and that one can enhance the flavor."

"Sister, are you looking for brother?" Bai Dazhuang was leading someone to take inventory. When Honghua said that his sister was looking for him, he dropped what he was doing and rushed over.

Along with the eldest brother came the fourth brother.

When Xiao Fuyuan saw his eldest brother and fourth brother coming together, he pointed to the box on the ground and said, "Brother, fourth brother, look at what Aunt Cheng Mei brought me from Nanyang."

The two brothers squatted down and looked carefully, and found that they were some plants and some seed particles.

Bai Dazhuang's eyes lit up with excitement.

"It's potatoes."

Xiao Fuyuan pointed at the potato and said.

"Potato?"

Bai Dazhuang and Bai Panmei also didn't know what it was, but since their sister could find sweet potatoes, those things called potatoes might be the same as sweet potatoes.

"It can be stewed and stir-fried, or it can be cooked and eaten. Like sweet potatoes, it grows in the ground and can also be used as food." Xiao Fukuoka said.

It's just too small.

"Sister, do you want me to try to cultivate it?" Bai Dazhuang said.

Xiao Fuyuan nodded.

"That's great." Bai Panmei focuses on being able to use it as food.

"Where are these?"

Bai Dazhuang saw several cotton plants.

It's not that he has never seen cotton. On the contrary, Huaicheng also grows cotton, but the yield is extremely low, and the flowers are very small and not very white.

Therefore, most people in the Xia Kingdom still wear linen, and cotton is only worn by high-ranking officials. For example, even if the Bai family's life is better, cotton is not easy to come by. The few pieces Zhen got, she kept tight on Little Fuyuan and Mrs. Bai.

The cotton-padded clothes worn by ordinary poor people in winter are mostly made of linen and stuffed with reed catkins.

The cotton plants in front of me are as big as bowls, as white as snow, and extremely soft to the touch.

If such cotton can take root and sprout in Xia Kingdom, then cotton cloth will not have to worry about it.

Not to mention anything else, the shop that Qiuniang opened could bring Xia's textile industry to a new level.

"These can be used as seasonings."

Xiao Fuyuan pointed to the coriander, pepper, and fennel seeds.

Bai Dazhuang and Bai Panmei went over to smell it and were choked.

Is this thing edible?

But since my sister said it’s okay, then it’s okay.

Some Chinese medicinal materials are also very strong and can also cure diseases.

"Leave these to big brother." Xiao Fuyuan pointed at the plant spice seeds and said to Bai Dazhuang.

Bai Dazhuang's face was filled with emotion. His sister knew that he liked to serve crops, so she specially gave these to him.

He will definitely not disappoint his sister's expectations and strive to cultivate her.

"My sister is really lucky." Bai Panmei couldn't help but say.

He takes a long-term view. If these plants are successfully cultivated, they will not only benefit his own family, but also the people in the area.

Put aside the seasonings and spices for now. If potatoes are successfully cultivated, they can become a double wall of food with sweet potatoes. How many people will be fed? And that cotton, if big brother can improve the local cotton to be as big and white as before, how many people will not have to suffer from the cold in winter.

"These are all my sister's contributions. I want to write a note to let the Tian family know." Bai Panmei said.

"Yes, yes, my sister deserves it." Bai Dazhuang said.

"Brother, where do you plan to cultivate these crops?" Xiao Fuyuan asked Bai Dazhuang.

Bai Dazhuang pondered, it would definitely not be possible in his own yard. It would not be good if people were to find him when he was being sent there in the future. Besides, the small amount of land in the yard was not enough.

He plans to cultivate it in the suburbs of Beijing. The third brother has already bought a hundred acres of land in the suburbs of Beijing.

Bai Panmei thought for a moment and said, "Brother, do you want to go to the Agriculture Department?"
