After making preparations, Liu Pan'er said to Li Li who was lighting the fire: "Stir up the fire, Ali, and make some noise to prevent dust from falling into the pot."

Li Li nodded with a serious expression, "Third Aunt, I understand."

Li Li was careful and quickly got the fire going. She stared at her third aunt to see how to make shredded sweet potatoes.

Sweet potatoes are already sweet, so adding so much sugar must make them taste better.

Liu Pan'er pours oil, wait until the oil temperature is slightly smokey, then pours the drained sweet potatoes into the oil pan, fry until the sweet potatoes are cooked and take them out when the outside is slightly yellow. Leave a small amount of oil in the pan, add rock sugar, and add water.

Stir constantly. Stir-fry over low heat until the rock sugar slowly melts, becomes lighter in color, and has no big bubbles.

When everything is melted and there are big bubbles, Liu Paner carefully observes the heat. When the sugar has turned golden brown, the bubbles have become smaller, the sugar has begun to become thicker and stronger, and the bubbles have disappeared in some places, and then pour it in quickly.

Just fried sweet potatoes.

Stir fry quickly until the sweet potatoes are completely coated with syrup, and then you can plate them.

After making three plates, Liu Pan'er quickly brought the shredded sweet potatoes to the table and explained with a smile, "My lords, the shredded sweet potatoes should be eaten while they are hot, otherwise the sugar will become cold and stick to the plate."

This is the last dish. Everyone has just sat down and is looking forward to it.

Imperial Envoy Gu Shao's eyes lit up when he smelled the sweet smell. He must have enjoyed eating the last beet, "Thank you, Mrs. Liu."

"It's our family's honor for all the adults to come to our humble house for dinner." Liu Pan'er smiled and stepped back to let the adults eat.

Glossy, soft and glutinous braised pork, spicy and tangy stir-fried eels, refreshing stir-fries and cold dishes, and sweet and sour tomato and egg drop soup.

Liu Pan'er discovered that the imperial envoy Gu Shao preferred sweet food. He liked scrambled eggs with tomatoes, sweet and sour fish, and shredded sweet potatoes, and ate them the most.

Others were also hungry. The farm food was not as well presented as it was presented, but it tasted good enough, which surprised them.

The people who are digging sweet potatoes in the field haven't stopped yet. There are still some left. They are ready to eat after digging.

Zhou Cuihua and Mr. Liu rolled out the noodles together, arranged a large bamboo sieve, and after those people dug the sweet potatoes, they immediately cooked the noodles.

Li Dabao and Li Fang each carried rolled noodles, and the other held a small porcelain basin of sauteed rice, which they gave to Mr. Zheng and others so that they could cook the noodles themselves.

Boss Zheng and others' dinner consisted of noodles, which they cooked by themselves and cooked with ease.

Li Dabao politely said to Boss Zheng: "Uncle Zheng, my family is entertaining imperial envoys, high officials from the capital, and the county magistrate. There is no stove for cooking, so we will eat noodles for lunch today. My mother told me to wait until evening

, I’ll cook you something delicious.”

When Boss Zheng heard this, his attitude became more respectful, and he bowed his waist slightly, "Thank you, little boss, the noodles are already very good. We can cook the noodles ourselves, don't worry."

They don't dare to be presumptuous. He is an official. They have never seen such a big official in their lives.

Liu Pan'er and her children ate together in the cave. They cooked noodles and the dishes were the ones Liu Pan'er left a little of each time when cooking.

Li Nan picked up a piece of shredded sweet potato and chewed it like a little squirrel, with a happy expression on his face. "Mom, the shredded sweet potato is delicious. Mom will make more for Nan to eat in the future, okay?"

Liu Pan'er nodded, pursed her lips and smiled, "Okay, but this is candy, don't eat too much, otherwise your teeth will be eaten by bugs, and Anan won't be able to eat other delicious food."

Li Nan flexed his fingers and said to his mother: "Is it okay to eat it once every five days?"

Liu Pan'er agreed, "Okay, I agree. After dinner, be good with your brother and don't run around. Our family is very busy in the afternoon."

"Well, mother, Anan understands." Li Nan agreed. There are so many adults in the house, so she has to be good.

Liu Pan'er and Mrs. Liu ate quickly. They had just finished eating. The sweet potatoes were dug over there. Mrs. Liu went to cook noodles for everyone. The noodles were both meat and vegetable, and there was a lot of oil. They tasted very good.

These were all people brought here by the county magistrate Mr. Liu. They worked hard in the morning and did not dare to eat until they finished their work. Only when they finally finished their work did they dare to eat.

Next, several government officials began to weigh baskets with large scales and recorded them in detail.

After the adults had eaten, Liu Paner asked Li Dabao to give the adults some refreshing mint water, which they could drink or rinse their mouths with.

Soon, the sweet potatoes from one acre of land were weighed out, all under the eyes of these adults, without any falsehood.

Because Liu Paner took better care of these sweet potatoes at home, the sweet potatoes grew well and received a lot of fertilizer, so the yield was even more amazing, reaching 7,200 kilograms.

This kind of output is more than the five thousand catties that Gu Shao said in the court before!

Lord Nong Simi's lips trembled with excitement and he was speechless. He held a sweet potato in his hand, his eyes were pious and his expression was focused.

Eunuch Liang was also very excited at this time. He was sure that sweet potatoes were a high-yielding crop and auspicious blessings from heaven.

Therefore, Eunuch Liang couldn't wait to take out the imperial edict and read it out on the spot, "The imperial edict has arrived! Mrs. Liu will take it."

When everyone heard this, not only the ministers knelt down, but Liu Pan'er and the children also knelt down, kneeling at the front.

Liu Pan'er looked at the imperial edict shining in Eunuch Liang's hand. So many people knelt down with serious expressions and did not dare to make any noise. She felt the authority of the feudal imperial power.

She didn't want to kneel down, but she had to kneel down, otherwise it wouldn't be a reward, but her head would be chopped off.

Eunuch Liang saw that Liu Pan'er and the children had knelt down, and then began to read out the imperial edict seriously.

"God's favor in sending down high-yielding sweet potatoes and potatoes is truly a sign of auspiciousness in the Great Zhou Dynasty... The Liu family is extremely intelligent and thrifty. She discovered sweet potatoes and potatoes and successfully planted them. Her achievements are astonishing. I personally confer the title of Liu family on the fifth rank of Yiren."

, No.: De Rui. Rewards for three entrances to the house, one hundred gold, and one hundred pieces of silk."

Eloquent and gorgeous in rhetoric.

Liu Pan'er understood. This was to confer upon her the rank of fifth-grade Derui Yiren, and also reward her with a house, one hundred taels of gold, which could be exchanged for one thousand taels of silver, and one hundred pieces of silk and satin, which were also worth thousands of taels of silver.

Things and houses are easy to find and can be bought with money.

It is a pleasant title of fifth grade, and it is also a very precious title of De Rui.

The imperial edict is not an official, but the grade corresponds to the official grade.

Mr. Liu, the county magistrate, is now only a seventh-rank official, and his rank is lower than hers. In the past, she needed to salute when she saw the county magistrate. After receiving the imperial edict, the county magistrate, Mr. Liu, had to salute her.

Although she has no power, she is of extremely high character, and she is also a fifth-rank Yiren personally conferred by His Majesty.

From now on, she will no longer be a runaway commoner who can be bullied by everyone. With this official status, she has established a firm foothold in Jiangnan.
