Rebirth of the pastoral hot wife

Chapter 274 281: Risks of Growing Potatoes and Various Ways to Eat Potatoes

On the second day, before Shiwu accompanied Qi Feng to leave, he told Jiang Luo that A Dong had already contacted him, and it was estimated that he would arrive in a day or two.

After fifteen or so people left, Jiang Luo didn't feel sleepy anymore. Seeing that it was almost dawn, he didn't plan to sleep anymore. He thought about going out for a walk in the fields to get some fresh air.

Jiang Luo wore only a layer of tulle skirt over his middle coat and went to the field, feeling that the morning at this time was the coolest.

Walking through the flower fields and vegetable fields, Jiang Luo saw the potato fields.

Today, the potato seedlings have grown to a height of more than one foot, the seedlings have grown thicker, and the leaves are also thicker. Jiang Luo thought, the potatoes under the soil should grow a little bit, right?
Thinking of this, Jiang Luo turned to Jin Zi and said, "Jin Zi, lend me your dagger."

Although Jin Zi was curious, he took out the dagger from his waist and handed it to Jiang Luo.

Then, the next moment, Jin Zi saw Jiang Luo unsheathed, and even used his iron-cut dagger to dig the soil.

Jin Zi and Yin Zi looked at each other helplessly, the master is too talented, isn't he?
But the two of them looked at it strangely. It turned out that besides being good-looking when killing people, the dagger was also so good-looking when digging dirt!
I don't blame the two people for being so distressed. The dagger of gold and silver is also there. Jiang Luo once went out and happened to meet a blacksmith with good skills. Mud dagger.

Jiang Luo has never been stingy about these things, and she also knows that the sharper the guards' weapons, the more secure her life will be.

Jiang Luo carefully dug up the soil around a potato seedling on the edge of the ground with a dagger. Seeing that a little potato skin was exposed, he returned the dagger to Jin Jin and began to slowly scratch around the potato with his hands. soil.

When Jin Jin and Yin Zi saw it, they quickly squatted down, "Master, let's come!"

"It's okay. I'm not a person who can't work. I'll wait on the sidelines." Jiang Luo didn't need their help. She wanted to observe for herself whether the potatoes were suitable for growing in the land here.

Slowly, after removing all the surrounding soil, Jiang Luo grabbed the potato seedlings and pulled them hard, and they all picked up.

Then, I saw five potatoes growing under the potato seedling.

Jiang Luo lightly touched those potatoes in surprise, ok, great, they have grown up, the big ones are as big as his own fist, it seems that the potatoes can be harvested in a few days.

In a blink of an eye, Jiang Luo thought about it again. Could it be that there is more water on the edge of the ground, so the potatoes grow bigger?
Thinking of this, Jiang Luo handed the potato seedling to Jin Jin, "Hold it for me, I'll go and have a look in the middle."

The two quickly followed.

This time in the middle of the ground, Yinzi quickly squatted down, "Master, tell me, which one to dig, I will dig it, I have already learned it!"

Watching the master's skinny and fleshy hands digging for soil, silver and gold, I felt the skin throbbing all over my body.He was afraid that if Dongfang Yi found out, he would peel the skins of the two of them.

Jiang Luo didn't bother to fight, and pointed to a plant that looked a bit small for Yin Zi to dig.

Yinzi also followed Jiang Luo's example, digging up the surrounding soil with a dagger, and after seeing the potatoes, he dug bit by bit with his hands.

After digging it out, lift it up and show it to Jiang Luo.

Although the seedlings of this one are small, the potatoes under the soil are not small at all. Although there are only three potatoes, they are about the same size as the big one just now.

After comparing, Jiang Luo nodded and felt relieved.

After carrying the silver coin, Jiang Luo went to see some crops such as corn and sunflower.

After reading it, she nodded, knowing what to do.

Next, I stopped walking in the field, but went to the road around Zhuangzi near the wall, walking and walking.

As they walked, the three of them heard the sound of fighting.

"Master, it should be Shaochen and the others practicing martial arts." Jin Zi whispered.

"Shut up, let's go and have a look quietly." Jiang Luo made a shush gesture, and the three of them walked forward lightly, and then hid behind a tree, looking at the path in front of them. Chen and Shaorui are fighting, Ah Si and Ah Wu are watching quietly from the side.

Ah Si and Ah Wu glanced at each other, then at the side where Jiang Luo and the others were hiding, and the corners of their mouths twitched.

As soon as the three of Jiang Luo approached, they found out, but in order not to affect Shaochen and Shaorui, the two of them didn't move.

After a long time, Shaochen made a catch, grabbed Shaorui's throat, let go immediately, and backed away.Just this moment, it means that Shaochen won.

Ah Si and Ah Wu clapped their hands together, "That's right, Shaochen has become even more proficient in catching and grasping."

Hearing the praise from the two masters, Shaochen smiled happily, with a trace of innocent smile on his face, he looked at Shaorui, and saw Shaorui biting his lips tightly, his eyes drooping slightly.

The smile on Shaochen's face disappeared, and his heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Shaorui is unhappy?

Ah Si and Ah Wu obviously also saw Shao Rui's unhappiness.The two of them sighed together, Shaorui's mind was a little small, especially since this year, it became more and more obvious.

Ah Wu taught him several times, but nothing changed. In fact, he was also a little anxious. He wanted to change Shaorui's character, but there were not many ways.

"Shaorui, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. What's more, you are still in the study period. The more you fail, the more you learn. Do you understand?" Ah Wu patted Shaorui on the shoulder and said.

"Well, thank you for your teaching, master." Shaorui raised his head, but the expression on his face had recovered.

Jiang Luo behind the tree, seeing this, understood Ah Wu's powerlessness in front of him. He squinted his eyes and looked at Shao Chen and Shao Rui in front of him. Jiang Luo rubbed his chin and thought about how to change Shao Rui's mentality.

Jiang Luo gestured to Jin Zi and Yin Zi, and the three of them quietly turned and left.

Ah Si and Ah Wu secretly sighed, they knew that the owner had left.It seems that she doesn't want Shaochen and Shaorui to be too embarrassed!
Jiang Luo returned to his building from another direction with gold and silver, and picked the potatoes from the seedlings. Jiang Luo looked at the roots that were still tender, and knew that it should be a short time before the potatoes matured and the roots fell off naturally. There are a few days.

"Jin Zi, go and get a small basin, get some clean water, and wash these eight potatoes before sending them back to me." After giving the order, Jiang Luo went to change his clothes and shoes.

When Jiang Luo changed his clothes before going down, he was startled by a group of people in the hall.

"Scared, aren't you busy? Why are you all here?" When I walked over and saw a group of people surrounding the potatoes in the pot, I understood.This is attracted by potatoes!
"Master, is this the potato in our field?" Gua'er asked.

"Yes, I dug a little bit today, and I can dig potatoes in about seven or eight days. Since everyone is here today, let me tell you about this thing and how we should eat it." After Jiang Luo finished speaking, First of all, Aunt Fu was very excited. She followed Jiang Luo and learned several delicious and beautiful dishes.

"Let's put it this way, this potato can be eaten fried, boiled, stewed, or fried. There are many ways to eat it, and it can also be eaten with other vegetables."

After Jiang Luo finished speaking, seeing that everyone was listening intently, he picked up the potatoes from the basin, and stretched out his hand to Jin Jin, "Give me the dagger."

Jin Zi was silent, and obediently handed in the dagger.

Everyone saw Jiang Luo holding a dagger in one hand and potatoes in the other, scraping the skin.

"Everyone remember, this potato, no matter how you eat it, you have to peel it. When you are a new potato, you only need to peel it gently like this. After two months, when it becomes an old potato, you need to do this Peeled." As he spoke, the dagger in Jiang Luo's hand changed from scraping to peeling, peeling off the remaining skin.

Everyone watched quietly, seeing Jiang Luo holding a sharp dagger in her white and tender hand, everyone dared not speak to her, for fear that she would cut themselves.

Then, Jiang Luo quickly cut the potatoes into four pieces.

Pick up one of them again, "Here, I will demonstrate mixing. Mixing is to eat it cold. Cut spinach or other green leafy vegetables into fingernail lengths, and rinse them in boiling water. Boil potatoes in a pot. , Peel off the skin, then crush it with a spoon until it becomes puree, mix it with chopped vegetables, eat it with oil and salt, it’s very fragrant. This is called mashed potatoes with vegetables.”

After Jiang Luo finished speaking, several people swallowed unconsciously.

"This piece, fried. Cut the potatoes into strips of this thickness and wash them. Fry them in an oil pan over medium heat. After the frying changes color, they are almost cooked. When you take them out of the pan, sprinkle a little salt on them to taste It tastes green and fragrant. But you have to eat it within a stick of incense, otherwise it will be cold or soft, and the taste will not be very good. These are called potato chips, also called French fries."

"If you boil it, you can just boil it and eat it directly. Peanuts, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and pumpkin can be cooked together."

"Master, what is a pumpkin?" Someone asked, not understanding.

"That's pumpkin." Jiang Luo smiled.

"Oh, can that be cooked and eaten?" Aunt Fu asked.

"It's ok, you haven't eaten it?" Jiang Luo was surprised, she had seen pumpkins in some people's yards.

Aunt Fu shook her head, "People don't know that people can eat it, but they are used to feed pigs. Because everyone says the skin is so hard, it must be eaten by pigs."

With a puff, Jiang Luo laughed out loud.

"There are too many things that humans can eat, but people don't understand it. They think that the things that are brought back from the wild are for animals, and humans are not allowed to eat them." After she finished speaking, she shook her head.

Aunt Fu nodded, "Then I know. Next time I see who has them, I want two. Let's try it. If it tastes good, we will grow some next year and cook it ourselves."

Jiang Luo nodded.

Then, he picked up the potatoes and said: "As for stewing, there are many ways to do it. When stewing beef, pork, chicken or mutton, you can add this potato in it, and cut it into hob pieces like this. The meat is stewed almost quickly. When it is cooked, add potatoes, and the potatoes will be cooked in about two quarters of an hour."

"Also, cabbage, radishes and potatoes can also be stewed. Add some meat, tofu, and vermicelli to it, and that's a big stew. We used to have no potatoes in the big stew. Aunt Fu can try to add it later. Guaranteed that you will feel that the food tastes better."

"In addition, potatoes can also be shredded, fried with shredded potatoes, and stir-fried over high heat. It's also delicious. Hot and sour, sweet and sour, you can eat whatever you like." Jiang Luo Said with a smile.

"Actually, this potato is the same type of thing as sweet potato. Therefore, this can also be ground into potato flour, and the noodles can be pressed into vermicelli. What we eat now are vermicelli made from sweet potato flour, and we can also have potato flour in the future. !” After Jiang Luo finished speaking with a smile, everyone’s eyes widened.

Finally, Jiang Luo said: "I originally found this thing on the mountain. I thought it was edible, so I dug it up and tried it. Now it seems that it is a good thing. I'm guessing, maybe, hundreds of years ago, here , there should be potatoes, otherwise this seedling would not be possible."

"Moreover, this potato has more uses than sweet potatoes. If people know sweet potatoes, they must know potatoes, but now many people don't know it. I think it may be because something happened to potatoes before. So, at present, The fact that we planted potatoes has to be kept secret, and no one can tell. I will ask the village head uncle and some people. If it doesn’t get in the way, we may create a miracle. But there may be something wrong The sin of forgiveness. So, everyone must control their mouths, understand?"

It has always been that wealth and risk coexist.Jiang Luo thought about this problem when he decided to grow potatoes.Today, I just want to share with you the problems I have been worrying about.

Obviously, everyone was frightened. After hearing Jiang Luo's words, everyone's expressions changed, and they quickly shut their mouths.Jiang Lin also looked at Jiang Luo and frowned.

The question never occurred to him.

"You don't have to be afraid, as long as you keep your mouth shut, we don't sell it outside, we just grow it in the village and eat it ourselves. It shouldn't be a big problem, so don't worry about it because of me. I totally missed the delicious food." Seeing the reaction of the crowd, Jiang Luo knew that they understood the seriousness of the matter, so he enlightened the crowd.
