Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 149 "Lessons Learned"

"So, thank you Li Shangshu, I will also write an expedited commentary, and I will announce the good news to the saint together."

Princess Pingyang's voice came in steadily. Her slightly hoarse voice seemed to have a calming charm. Li Gang calmed down a lot in an instant, but his old face was still flushed with excitement. Well, the old man passed away. Fortunately, Li Gang withstood the shock of Tudou, he held on!

Li Gang nodded, and hurriedly wanted to go out, as if he wanted to rush back to write a memorandum. After walking two steps, he seemed to think of something, and immediately turned back to tell Xue Lang: "Xue Zhiyi, these potato seeds are scarce, so you can't try them." I’m done, keep all of them, and try again after next year’s big harvest!”

Is the image of foodies already deeply rooted in the hearts of the people? !
Xue Lang blushed silently, but what should be said clearly had to be said: "Li Shangshu, you can only keep the big ones for seeds, and the small ones are inherently insufficient, so they are not qualified to be used as seeds. In addition, one mu of land needs about 20 yuan. With a catty of potatoes as seeds, these harvests, minus the small ones, are enough to plant several acres, and a bumper harvest next year is just around the corner, and it will not be a problem to spread it on a large scale in the next year."

The unfinished words are that the small ones can be eaten!

Li Gang yelled directly: "Potatoes are scarce, so if you want to taste them, you must taste them like a saint."

Xue Lang had an innocent face, he didn't say that he wanted to eat, he just reminded him as he did his duty.However, he responded obediently: "Being a saint is the first thing to do!"

Princess Pingyang didn't care about the nonsense of these two people, and directly ordered: "Youyang quickly calculate the yield per mu."

"Here!"

Xue Lang stopped talking to Li Gang, who was obviously happy and crazy, and silently calculated in his heart, and replied: "His Royal Highness, the yield of potatoes should reach more than 700 per mu according to preliminary calculations, which is slightly higher than sweet potatoes. Next year, we will use cultivated land to plant them. With more management, fertilizer, etc., the yield should be higher.”

"it is good!"

Princess Pingyang applauded steadily and vigorously, her eyebrows flying high: "The output of sweet potatoes and potatoes can reach more than 20 shi. This is the auspiciousness of heaven, Li Shangshu?"

Looking at Li Gang in a blink of an eye, Li Gang said: "Old minister Li Gang was ordered by the saint to verify the auspicious report of Princess Guan Pingyang of Weize. After verification by the minister, it is true and the output is true!"

Princess Pingyang showed faint smile lines on her lips, and saluted Li Gang: "Thank you Li Shangshu!"

Li Gang hurriedly replied: "Your Royal Highness is very polite, this is the duty of the old minister, and the old minister is just telling the truth."

Everything was settled, Li Gang went back to his residence to write his urgent memorial, and he was too busy to stay for dinner.Xue Lang asked people to pick out the big potatoes, keep the small ones, divide them into two halves, and keep the big half for His Majesty Li Yuan to taste when he went to Beijing, and picked out the small half, and approached Princess Pingyang with a smile, and asked with a smile: "Dare you?" Ask Your Highness, it's almost time for Chaoshi, do you like fried or fried?"

Princess Pingyang was slightly stunned, and then she laughed, her jade finger pointed towards Xue Lang slightly, but she was not polite: "What recommendation does Youyang have?"

Xue Lang had an expression of "Your Highness, you have asked an expert", and said with a smile: "If it is a big potato, then there are more dishes that can be cooked, such as vinegar potato shreds, hot and sour potato shreds, dry fried potato shreds, etc. , Potatoes are a home-cooked dish. There are many ways to make these small potatoes, such as salt and pepper, braised in soy sauce, roasted in soy sauce, spicy and so on, there are so many ways to eat them!"

Xue Lang glanced at the number of small potatoes, snapped his fingers happily, and said on his own initiative: "This subordinate sees that there are quite a lot of small potatoes, so let's make three dishes! Your Highness, please approve some pepper, and , Chaoshi and other subordinates, remember not to call people, let's eat together!"

After finishing speaking, he bowed his hands to Princess Pingyang and left first.Princess Pingyang was slightly taken aback, then laughed, and said: "This Xue Youyang also has such a hasty moment, Chuxue, ask Rugui to send Xue Lang a few taels of pepper."

"Here!"

Chuxue took the lead and left.Her Royal Highness was in a good mood, with smile lines on her lips all the way, and went back to the main hall to wait for Xue Lang to make potatoes for her——

Her Royal Highness is still looking forward to it.

In other words, Xue Lang hurried back to the Tingfengyuan, and asked Xiuniang to kill the chicken as soon as he entered the door.Xiu Niang was used to the master's whim, she did whatever she was asked to do, without asking any extra words, she just boiled water and prepared to kill the chicken.

Xue Lang came back only to realize that he hadn't picked any peppers, and asked Changjian to take his token to the plantation to pick some peppers.

As soon as the water was boiled, he started to kill the chicken. If the waiter Gui Nei came, he brought the pepper that Xue Lang needed, a small bag, not to mention this one meal, just a few more meals would be enough.

"Thank you, servant."

Xue Lang quickly thanked him.Rugui waved his hand: "I was sent by His Highness's order, His Highness is still waiting, so I won't disturb Xue Jianyi's work, I will leave first!"

Xue Lang sends Rugui away, and Xiuniang kills the chicken.This chicken is not too big, but a little more than two catties, less than three catties.The hair has faded, and the slaughter is good. Considering that Her Royal Highness ate chili for the first time, she simply cut three and put it in the pot.

First pour the cut chicken pieces into the pot and stir fry to fry the blood water, then pour in the washed and cut potatoes, add water, cover the pot, and simmer slowly on low heat.

Then burn another stove, pick out six small potatoes, boil them in water, prepare three one-dish dishes for two dishes, one is small salt and pepper potatoes, and the other is braised small potatoes.In the end, there are four small potatoes left, shredded to make vinegar potato shreds.

A total of more than ten potatoes were brought back, and four dishes were made, Xue Lang was already satisfied.If you eat something fresh, Her Highness the Princess will be satisfied too.

Fortunately, Su Han usually eats in the medical office, and rarely comes back to eat. Otherwise, Xue Lang dared to say that these dishes are not enough for Su Han to eat alone.

Princess Pingyang waited in the main hall for about half an hour, only read half of the book in her hand, when someone came to report: "My lady, Xue Jianyi has brought food!"

Princess Pingyang frowned slightly, and said: "Please come in."

"Here."

Xue Lang brought people in, saluted and sat down in his seat, waiting for someone to set the meal.There are only four dishes, two of which are not too much. In front of Princess Pingyang, there are two potatoes on a plate, and Xue Lang has only one potato on a plate.The same goes for vinegared potato shreds, more for Princess Pingyang, less for Xue Lang himself, only stewed chicken with potatoes is fast, almost equally divided, a large plate in front of each person.

Princess Pingyang looked at it and asked, "Why did you give me two and Youyang only kept one?"

Xue Lang was content to eat steamed buns dipped in potato stewed chicken soup, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness is eating potatoes for the first time, so I will naturally give you more. This subordinate is used to eating potatoes before, and one is enough. , Potato stewed chicken has a lot of servings, I used to like to use the soup inside to eat with rice, but unfortunately, I can’t buy delicious rice here, and it’s the same for dipping in steamed buns.”

Princess Pingyang glanced at Xue Lang, stopped talking, picked up the chopsticks, first ate small salt and pepper potatoes, nodded, and then ate a small braised potato——

Xue Lang asked with a smile: "Your Highness, is it delicious?"

Princess Pingyang didn't answer, just rolled her eyes, and said to Chuxue: "There is only one of these two dishes on Xue Zhiyi's table, and he is lonely, how pitiful, why don't you bring it to my table, together with the rest on my table, If you want to come, you will have a companion!"

"what?!"

Xue Lang didn't react immediately.

Miss Chuxue smiled all over her face, and her feet moved quickly. Before Xue Lang could react, she took a plate in each hand, and directly brought the small salt and pepper potatoes and braised potatoes that Xue Lang planned to save for the last to eat in front of Princess Pingyang. up!
Princess Pingyang's movements are graceful and stretched, but in fact the speed is not slow, one by one, one after another, she ate a total of six small potatoes in a short time, and nodded with satisfaction after eating: "I taste it, this Potatoes are more palatable than sweet potatoes, thank you Xue Zhiyi for your humility!"

Xue Lang... Xue Lang is already stupid!
Fuck!Fuck!Fuck!You obviously didn't give way, so you let someone snatch it away, okay?
Princess Pingyang didn't care about Xue Lang's complaints, and imitated Xue Lang tearing up steamed buns and dipping them in soup. After taking a bite, she nodded in satisfaction. While eating steamed buns, she occasionally ate a piece of chicken with chopsticks, reminding Xue Lang: Consultant, slandering your boss is a mistake, Xue Consultant should concentrate on enjoying the food!"

Xue Lang choked, and immediately sighed: "The experience I learned today, don't save delicious food for later, it's risky!"

The tone is very pitiful!
"Pfft!"

Princess Pingyang couldn't help laughing out loud, and the maids serving beside her also laughed together, and for a while, the room was full of laughter.

Xue Lang gnawed on the steamed buns, and said in his heart, for the sake of your smile, please forgive your hatred for stealing my food!
