Chapter 596 Li Er Sacrificial Potato Beef Stew?
Outside Chang'an County, Li Er led all the civil and military officials to set up the incense table, and formally worshiped the sky in front of the field. Although there was no ceremony of honor in the past, the [-] farmers and [-] troops behind him all knelt down devoutly before the incense table. It was just an ordinary incense table with three sacrifices on it, but the grandeur was even bigger than the grand sacrifice in the palace at the end of the year.

Li Er was in the middle, and all the officials were behind. Even the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan rushed to be among them after hearing the news.

"Haotian Wuji, Fu Wei told: The Huaxia family, passed down to the Tang Dynasty, the people are in trouble, the country is in trouble, God blesses you, ask for food overseas, and now you have succeeded..."

A not-so-long sacrificial oration was recited by Li Er with a loud voice. Although Li Er did not have internal skills to transmit sound, but at this moment, everyone held their breaths and worshiped heaven devoutly. Li Er's voice was like a kind of Just like the oath, it not only spread to the ears of every worshiper, but also spread far and wide.

Burning incense and praying, lighting the sacrificial oracle to tell the heavens, with a plume of green smoke rising straight up, everyone looked up. At this moment, it seemed that this sacrificial oratory from everyone's hearts was really received by the heavens, and everyone felt the power of that belief .

"Heaven has accepted our worship, everyone, go to the ground to collect grain!"

With Li Er's order, [-] people and [-] soldiers entered the one-acre fertile field in an orderly manner according to the plan, and began to break through the ground to harvest it. Li Er brought all the officials to a field. Their task was to This acre of potatoes was harvested by the emperor with his officials. Bai Fan was overjoyed. If this thing was publicized, this acre of potatoes would be sold at a sky-high price.

But Li Er poured a basin of cold water, dug up this acre of potatoes, sent them to the Heroes Monument to worship and comfort the martyrs, and then took them back for sowing, not only this acre, but all the harvest in Chang'an County this time. .

Master Ziyang stood beside Bai Fan with his sword on his back and said with a smile: "Junior brother, this fairy food is really good, it tastes great, with this ten thousand mu of seeds, there will be no hunger in the world.

Why don't you help with the harvest? "

Bai Fan looked at the way all the officials were working, and laughed and said that he couldn't straighten up.

"My little brother still needs to direct the harvest here. There are more than 3000 people who need to be managed. Besides, this group of people is pampered all day long. Our skills are gone, and the harvest is too fast. What are they doing?"

"Um, but with their speed, I'm afraid it won't be until sunset to harvest this acre."

"It's okay, people are still enjoying it.

By the way, Senior Brother Ziyang, how do you know that this stuff tastes great?Have you ever eaten? "

Immortal Ziyang covered his mouth, his heart was broken, and seeing the harvest of fairy grain, he said he had missed it.

"Well, I heard that the fairy food is ripe, and the old man was curious, so I dug out one last night and cooked it. It is very delicious. It is like mud but not difficult to swallow. It is slightly sweet in the mouth. One can hold two steamed buns. It is a good thing. good food."

Bai Fan couldn't bear it any longer, pointed at Master Ziyang and laughed loudly: "You just boil and eat potatoes like this? The way you eat it is that the victims in the year of the catastrophe eat it like this. You say it's delicious. , then the younger brother will make you a delicious dish, do you want to eat your tongue?"

At this time, old Du Ming ran over, "Master Hou, we have already harvested an acre, and we just weighed it, the yield per mu, the yield per mu..."

"Let's say it, don't be afraid that we won't believe it."

"Yield per mu—420 seven catties!"

"How much??? Five thousand?" Master Ziyang exclaimed.

Bai Fan patted Master Ziyang on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother, don't be surprised. This is a normal production. Looking at the situation, the average potato production this season can reach about [-] catties. Not bad, a bumper harvest, a bumper harvest!"

At dusk, Li Er and others finally finished the acre they were in charge of. Looking at a large pile of potatoes piled up in the shape of a hill, all the officials with an average age of 55 sat on the ground and smiled at the potatoes. .

"Come here, send me a scale. I want an auspicious number." Li Erda shouted.

Who knew that Bai Fan ran over with a large group of people and said: "Come, come, they finally finished collecting, hurry up and pretend to go, don't need to weigh it, just calculate according to the average, everyone has already collected it, for this After waiting for them for a long time, they quickly finished harvesting and started eating, and after eating, they had to clean up the potato branches and leaves in the field overnight to make green storage for cattle and horses."

... Li Er and the officials are a little confused, what's going on?We worked hard all day and didn't even give a name?

But soon they heard the average yield per mu reported by Old Du Ming, and no one had any further objections. The average yield of potatoes per mu was 530 catties, and the total yield of [-] mu was [-] million catties. Compared with this figure, It doesn't matter whether I have a bunch of calculations.

Hou Junji came up to Li Er and asked, "Your Majesty, with this batch of grain, it is enough for us to fight a war with 10 people. How about handing it over to the minister, who will pacify the Wa Kingdom!"

Li Er's heart became hot, and he looked up at Bai Fan in the distance, then shook his head again, "Forget it, the Japanese country is suffering from ringworm and scabies, you should go to naval training, and it is agreed that all these will be used for breeding in the next year. "

After tidying up the last acre, Bai Fan took people to the Huotoujun tent that had been set up long ago for dinner. Although it was simple, but it was a harvest season, no one was picky about it. Everyone was very excited. This pile of potatoes was as high as the city wall. Just don't eat, just looking at it is a kind of enjoyment.

"Come, come, one bowl per person, fresh and hot, delicious food cooked by Lord Hou himself, one bowl of rice and two steamed buns, you will be full!"

The chef transferred from Wangjinglou was holding a big spoon in one hand and yelling at the big iron pot with the other.

"What kind of delicacy is this, so fragrant? The smell makes my appetite go up. Come on, have a big bowl."

"Go in line!"

"Bold, this is Your Majesty!" Hou Junji shouted loudly.

Yu Chigong stood up, "Old Hou, I don't need you to reprimand my soldiers.

The first-level security in Chang'an County has not been lifted, and everyone, regardless of their superiors and subordinates, abides by discipline, and His Majesty is no exception.

I invite Your Majesty to queue up for dinner. "

Li Er smiled and said: "Respect virtue and manage the army well, I deserve a reward! As the Son of Heaven, I should take the lead in queuing up."

Just at the foot of the city wall of Chang'an County, the emperor squatted in the corner with all the officials, holding a rice bowl in one hand and eating steamed buns in the other.

"Well, it's delicious. I've always heard that the food in Chang'an County is good. I saw it today and it really lived up to its reputation. There are [-]% of the meat in this bowl. It's not just us, everyone, even the soldiers." Li Jing said loudly. He chewed the mantou covered in soup and praised.

"Jian Zhi's reputation as a culinary master is indeed true. Even this big pot of rice is so delicious. By the way, I don't know what kind of meat is so delicious." Du Ruhui followed suit and praised.

Li Jiancheng ate another piece, chewed it repeatedly, frowned, and had a guess in his mind, but he didn't speak.

Yuchi Jingde swiped the small white cubes that were about to stew into mud in the bowl, and was about to explain when he saw Li Jiancheng glaring at him, he hurriedly lowered his head to eat the rice without looking up.

At this time, a Huotou army came over to reissue steamed buns for everyone. Li Er asked, "Does this dish have a name? What kind of meat is it?"

The fire leader smiled and explained: "Reporting to Your Majesty, this dish was invented by Lord Hou. It is called beef stew with potatoes. The meat is fresh beef from Lantian Hou."

"Potato?
beef?

Bai Fan, come here for me! "

Li Erchu stood up suddenly, shouted angrily, his face turned cold in an instant, and all civil and military officials could hear it clearly, they stopped their chopsticks one after another, the delicious food that was still full of aftertaste just now, why did it feel a little hard to swallow in an instant? ?
