In the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan beat Li Shimin at the beginning

Chapter 123 Teasing Changsun Wuji
The production capacity per mu has reached 20 shi, and you still don't pick the land?
Li Shimin and all the ministers were shocked by Li Ke's words.

Li Shimin looked at the sweet potato in Li Ke's hand, and said suspiciously: "Is this thing edible?"

Li Ke stretched out his hand: "Xue Rengui, give me a knife."

Xue Rengui immediately bent down, pulled out a small knife from his leggings, and handed it over.

Li Ke took the knife, peeled off the skin of the sweet potato with a brush, and then put the sweet potato into his mouth, making a crisp sound.

"Well, it's delicious, quite sweet. Dad, let me tell you, this thing tastes better when it's cooked.

After this thing becomes popular, the population of my Tang Dynasty will double, and there will be no problem at all. "

Li Ke said while chewing there.

Li Shimin grabbed another sweet potato, picked up a knife and peeled off the skin.Following Li Ke's example, he started eating.

"Well, although it is not as delicious as corn, each has its own advantages and taste. However, it seems that this thing is not very competent for food, right?"

Li Shimin commented while eating.

Li Ke said: "It is true that it cannot be used as staple food, but it is the ceiling of coarse grain.

Dad, let me tell you, don't underestimate this thing, not only can people eat it, but it's better to raise other animals.

For example, chickens, ducks, geese, cattle, pigs and so on. In the future, our Tang Dynasty will not even lack meat.

The biggest advantage of this thing is its high yield, and he doesn't need to save the seeds, he can grow them with vine seedlings.

If you don't believe me, find someone to dig now to see if I'm lying. "

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin said decisively: "Auxiliary machine, immediately arrange for someone to dig up these sweet potatoes. By the way, dig out after measuring the land. I want to know the real yield of this thing."

Changsun Wuji said quickly, "Here, I'll arrange someone to do it."

After finishing speaking, Changsun Wuji was about to leave.

At this time, Fang Xuanling hurried over with a group of people.

From a long distance away, he shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the result is out, the result is out, the yield per mu is 1858 catties."

That's right, this is the seed from Goldfinger.The maximum yield of corn can reach 2200 catties.

It's not mature yet, it weighs 1800 jin.Although this cannot be said to be a miracle, it is still a miracle in this era.

When Li Shimin heard this, his eyes widened, wondering if he had heard it wrong.

Hurry up to meet Fang Xuanling, one king and one minister, just running like this.Like two lovers who haven't seen each other for a long time.

The two stepped on the ridge of sweet potatoes and ran towards each other.

Finally, Fang Xuanling ran up to Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, the result has come out. It's great. The yield of this corn per mu is 1858 catties. Your Majesty, Datang Xingya."

Li Shimin nervously took the paper that Fang Xuanling handed over, and stared at it with wide eyes.

Yes, it really says the total amount is 1858 catties.

Omg!
Li Shimin was stunned by his mother.

You know, the current grain yield per mu in Datang is only about 200 catties, and 300 catties is considered a high yield.

9 times, or even nearly 10 times the output, what is this concept?
Li Shimin really wanted to hug Fang Xuanling and celebrate together!

At this time, Li Ke and those ministers also came up.

Li Ke said: "Seeing how happy you are, 1800 jin is only the current output. That's because it is immature. When it matures, it will definitely exceed 2000 jin."

"Stinky boy, dad loves you to death. Haha..."

Li Shimin was as happy as a child, he didn't know how to express it, so he hugged Li Ke and kissed him hard.

Li Ke wiped the saliva off his face and said, "Father, you are so disgusting, you have a bad mouth."

A group of people suddenly burst into laughter.

Li Ke said: "Why are you laughing, there are sweet potatoes! When the sweet potatoes are dug out, it's not too late for you to laugh."

"Yes, yes, there are also sweet potatoes, haha..."

Li Shimin laughed happily.

Li Shimin is looking forward to this thing that can yield twice as much as corn.

Li Ke asked someone to find a big pot again, and cooked sweet potatoes there again.

Others were working there, and he had a picnic there.

I feel that the picnic is not enough.So he built a small kiln there with mud balls.

That's right, it is the small earthen kiln specially used to kiln sweet potatoes when I was a child.

Why is it called sweet potato?That's because the sweet potato is a product of Pan Bang Lai.

Just like the iron nails in childhood, we call them foreign nails.It is because it is produced by foreigners.

After the small clay kiln was built, Yuchi Baolin was immediately sent to collect firewood.

After the firewood was picked up, the kiln was fired.

A group of ministers were very curious about what this little bastard was doing?
Li Ke didn't explain, and after burning Yao red, he took out the charcoal inside, and then threw the sweet potato into it.

And then, that is smashing the kiln.

If you want sweet potatoes to be delicious, you must smash the red-hot mud balls, anyway, the more smashed the better.

Then, that's waiting.

During the waiting time, the sweet potatoes in the pot were already cooked.

Li Ke immediately asked people to share it with everyone, and everyone began to share the sweet potatoes, and everyone was full of praise.

It is said that this sweet potato is delicious, fragrant and sweet.

Li Shimin also divided into two, and he was overjoyed to eat.

Yes, he ate it raw just now, and it didn't feel very tasty.

Now that he cooked it and ate it, he immediately dismissed his previous thoughts.

Yes, as a commoner, eating sweet potatoes is enough.

Some people say, what will happen if you eat too much sweet potato.In fact, when the author was young, he ate it almost every day.

Yes, you read that right, eat every day.At that time, I ate porridge in the morning, sweet potatoes or taro at noon, and rice for dinner.

Don't talk about this anymore, if you talk about it, you will reveal your age.hey-hey……

Seeing that the sweet potatoes were cooked, Changsun Wuji also ran over and asked for two, which he was full of praise for.

Li Ke didn't eat any of them.Yes, he was waiting for the kiln sweet potatoes, which were the real delicacy.

The sweet potatoes in the pot were eaten up quickly.At this time, the smell of sweet potatoes in the kiln is bursting with the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes.

Li Shimin wasn't enjoying himself yet, he was waiting eagerly for the sweet potatoes in the kiln.

This taste, smells the appetite!
Changsun Wuji also smelled the aroma of this sweet potato, and waited eagerly.

Li Shimin became impatient and asked, "Boy, have you got the sweet potatoes in the kiln yet? Hurry up, don't make everyone wait."

Li Ke rolled his eyes and decided to play tricks on Changsun Wuji.

Li Ke said: "Father, this kiln sweet potato is different from the stewed sweet potato. Before you eat it! You must send the kiln ghost away first. Uncle, here is a stone and a charcoal.

You take it to the ditch over there and throw it in, and then you just wait and see, until the pebbles float up and the coals sink.

It proves that the kiln ghost has been sent away, you can come back, and everyone can eat sweet potatoes. "

(Haha, I wonder if any book friends have experienced kiln ghosts? Those who have experienced it are probably over 40 years old, right?)
