Chapter 145 is auspicious and also a great achievement
Back home, Mrs. Liu saw Liu Pan'er coming and asked hurriedly: "I heard that the imperial envoy Mr. Gu is here?"
Liu Pan'er smiled and said, "Here you go, sister-in-law. With such a high-yielding crop, if I were an official, I could run faster than anyone else. This is a huge political achievement. From then on, my career has been on the rise."
Mrs. Liu nodded, "Yes, third brother and sister, are you here to cook?"
Liu Paner agreed, "Yes, there are fish at home, and the pheasant you caught before. Sister-in-law, kill the chicken and make potato stewed chicken later."
Mrs. Liu responded, "Okay, I'll go right away."
Li Nan put down the bamboo dragonfly in his hand, ran over, and asked with wide eyes: "Mother, can Nan help you wash the vegetables?"
"Okay, Ah Nan is so good." Liu Pan'er praised and put the cucumbers in the basin, "How about you wash the cucumbers? I will pat the cucumbers later."
At this time, Li Xiaobao took a bunch of garlic and peeled the garlic nimbly with both hands, "Mom, I'll peel the garlic cloves."
"Okay, Xiaobao is also very good." Liu Pan'er praised, "You can even help me with my work. They are all very good."
Liu Pan'er is going to cook cucumbers, cold beans, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, spicy and sour potato shreds, roast chicken with potatoes, crucian carp soup, and steamed crabs for noon today.
Today’s sweet potatoes, Liu Paner is going to make shredded sweet potatoes.
Potato cakes are more troublesome, so I won’t make them.
After Mrs. Liu killed the chicken, she came over to help.
There are two new dishes today. Li Xiaobao and Li Nan stared at them with wide eyes, especially curious.
Peel and shred the potatoes, cut them into thin slices, put them in a basin and soak them in water.
When Liu Pan'er fried green pepper and potato shreds, it was simple and crude. After pouring oil, sautéing onion, ginger and garlic, he put the pepper in and stir-fried for a few times, then poured in the water-cooked potato shreds and stir-fried for a few times.
, pour some vinegar, add some other seasonings, and start the pot!
The sour and spicy potato shreds are ready.
Li Xiaobao and Li Nan only swallowed their saliva, but they didn't dare to eat it because of the pepper.
Seeing how greedy her youngest son and daughter were, Liu Paner chuckled and said, "Wait a little longer and there will be food for you."
Shredded sweet potatoes, she was going to make them last.
With Mrs. Liu's help, after working for most of an hour, the meal was finally ready.
Li Dabao ran back from the field and said to Liu Pan'er: "Mom, Mr. Gu said that he has to watch people dig sweet potatoes and potatoes in the field and cannot leave. Please send us the food."
Hearing this, Liu Pan'er laughed in surprise. This was Mr. Gu's style of doing things. He was careful and careful. "Okay, Dabao, you move our small bamboo table. Sister-in-law, you take a few small bamboo stools. I will move them."
The meals are put in food boxes and will be delivered to you shortly."
Ms. Liu thought for a while and said, "A few bamboo stools are not heavy. I will go to the village chief's house to borrow a basket and help bring two vegetables."
"Okay, sorry, sister-in-law." Liu Pan'er thanked her and put the dishes on the plate into large bowls to prevent the soup from spilling out.
As for the villagers who came to help, they just cooked a pot of sweet potatoes and shared them with everyone.
It's not that Liu Pan'er was reluctant to feed the villagers who helped, it was just that there were so many people and her family had enough food, but she couldn't cook that much food at one time.
Fortunately, the villagers understand and are willing to eat sweet potatoes.
Looking at the small table and stools in the bamboo shed, with seven or eight dishes placed on it, Imperial Envoy Gu was quite shocked, "You have prepared so many dishes so quickly, thank you for your hard work, Mrs. Liu."
Liu Pan'er smiled modestly, "It's not hard work. Master Gu takes care of everything every day and does it personally. That's the hard work."
The imperial envoy, Mr. Gu, was in a happy mood, with a slight smile on his face, "This is not bitter. I used to complain when I inspected the river embankment! It rained above and was flooded below. I had no food or drink, and I couldn't sleep for days and nights."
Hearing the words of the imperial envoy Master Gu, Liu Pan'er raised his hand and said, "Master Gu cares about the people and is a good official."
Imperial Envoy Master Gu smiled and said, "I am just following my heart. I don't deserve Lady Liu's praise."
I originally wanted to make shredded sweet potatoes, but because they had to be sent to the fields for eating, the shredded sweet potatoes became hard when cooled, so I didn’t do it at noon and waited until I had time to make it specifically for the children.
Imperial Envoy Master Gu and his guards ate together and he was full of praises. Especially the hot and sour potato shreds, which are simply a great addition to rice. With just a plate of hot and sour potato shreds, Imperial Envoy Gu felt that he could eat three bowls of rice.
It's really not easy to make simple meals taste like this.
This lady Liu can farm, teach children, and cook. She is brave and strong. She possesses all the noble qualities of a woman!
Imperial Envoy Mr. Gu expresses his deep admiration!
Let’s say that the county magistrate Mr. Liu heard that Gu San, who was beside the imperial envoy Mr. Gu, asked for an audience. He muttered in his heart that he must have done nothing wrong recently, right?
When he heard from Gu San that Master Gu was harvesting high-yielding crops of five thousand kilograms per mu in Lijia Village, Master Liu still didn't believe it. Since the imperial envoy Master Gu asked him to go there, he did not dare to delay.
Finally, he took a few government officials, had something to eat on the street, and followed Gu San to Lijia Village on horseback.
On the way, we also met Village Chief Li and his son, who were driving an ox cart. They hurried slowly and hurriedly, and they still had a few miles to go until they reached Lijia Village.
Watching the adults galloping away on horseback, Village Chief Li was envious, "When we get rich, we can raise horses and learn to ride, and it will be faster to go back and forth to the county seat."
Li Yuanjia nodded, "Yes, Yuan Qing can ride a horse, let him teach us when the time comes."
"Then work hard from now on and don't be lazy." Village Chief Li did not forget to take the opportunity to teach his son a lesson and make him diligent and diligent.
When Village Chief Li arrived at the village, he did not go home and went directly to the fields.
At this time, Magistrate Liu saw the scene of digging sweet potatoes and digging potatoes. He couldn't believe it. He lifted up his clothes, took a shovel, and dug the sweet potatoes himself.
I was not familiar with the business, and I didn’t know how much growth there was on the bottom of the sweet potato. It grew so big that I dug into the sweet potato with a click.
When the imperial envoy Master Gu heard that Magistrate Liu had dug up the sweet potatoes, he immediately became unhappy and said, "Master Liu, please slow down, you don't know how to dig. You can first see how others dig."
Magistrate Liu smiled coquettishly, "Looking back, sir, I was so excited that I got carried away for a moment. Please forgive me for my sins."
"This is your first offense, just be careful next time." Imperial Envoy Master Gu said solemnly. In fact, he also made the same mistake as Magistrate Liu when he first dug sweet potatoes.
After digging out the sweet potatoes, there are less than three-thirds of the field left.
We started weighing at the end of the field using a large scale brought from the government to pay the grain tax. There were government officials nearby who carefully recorded and supervised to prevent repeated weighing.
After half an hour of weighing, the yield of sweet potatoes from one acre of land has been weighed, reaching 6,800 kilograms. The local area is rich in rice, and the rice grown in one acre of land can produce two hundred kilograms, which is already very high. But
These sweet potatoes can actually weigh up to 6,800 kilograms. Even if they are dried and shrunk ten times, they will still be over 600 kilograms!
The only shortcoming is that it may be difficult to preserve, but you can find a way to solve it. Especially in the north, if you put it in the cellar and eat it next year, it will be no problem.
High-yielding sweet potatoes and potatoes were right in front of them, and they watched them being dug out of the ground.
This must be auspiciousness sent from heaven!
Chapter completed!
