"In short, what is this thing that is bigger than potatoes? Look at it, is it more productive than potatoes?" Li Yuanji asked while holding a purple-red thing in his hands.

"Yes, this thing is called sweet potato. As the name suggests, it is a fruit that grows in the ground, but it is food rather than fruit. It is similar to potatoes. The difference is that sweet potatoes can be planted twice a year, while potatoes can only be planted once a year.

The yield of sweet potatoes is higher than that of potatoes, and the yield per mu is as high as [-] catties, and even intensive cultivation with sufficient water and fertilizer can reach [-] catties per mu. "

"Ten thousand catties???"

There was a lot of exclamation, and they all stared at the sweet potato in Li Yuanji's hand, and couldn't take their eyes away anymore. Li Yuanji was even more careful than before, more careful than holding his own child, and put the sweet potato back into the box.

Bai Fan just wanted to laugh, this is the top group of people in Datang, but today they all look like they have never seen the world, it's so funny.

"This sweet potato is sweet, and its eating method is similar to that of potatoes. However, although it can satisfy hunger, it cannot replace the staple food. It can only be used as miscellaneous grains. If you eat it all day long, it will cause insufficient nutrition and cause health problems. You should supplement it with wheat or rice. edible."

"Well, that's enough. If ten thousand catties per mu is still the staple food, it's really auspicious. It's a blessing to be able to rescue disasters and save lives. In a catastrophic year, let alone miscellaneous grains, even bark Guanyin soil can't be eaten." Qin Qiong said.

That’s right, this is the reason. The average age of the civil and military officials here is around 50 years old. They are all people who have experienced more than one national famine.

Bai Fan walked up to a box, grabbed out a handful of golden grains, and said with a smile, "There's no need to be so pessimistic, those two are miscellaneous grains, but this one is a real staple food."

Xue Wanjun asked: "One of those two kinds is called potatoes and the other is called sweet potatoes. What is this one called? Judging by its appearance, is it earthy sesame?"

Everyone laughed loudly, and so did Xue Daduan, can this thing compare?The previous two kinds of fairy food were covered with mud, so it was related to the land at first glance. This one obviously has no mud on its body, but its shape is somewhat similar to sesame seeds, so it can't be named like that.

Bai Fan laughed and said: "This thing has a very good name, it's called corn! Although it is golden in color, it is as white as jade when it is immature. In addition, its yield is amazing, and it can be used as a staple food like rice, so it is called corn." corn.

As for the output of this thing, it ranges from [-] to [-] catties, and the taste and texture are excellent.

However, the disadvantage of this thing is that it is not drought-tolerant or flood-tolerant. "

"What's the shortcoming here? Datang is most afraid of drought, but not too afraid of waterlogging. This thing is simply a treasure." Fang Xuanling laughed.

Li Jiancheng urged: "Hurry up, my son-in-law, these three are treasures, enough to solve the problem of food and clothing for the common people. There are so many boxes behind you, there must be more good things, the old man can't help thinking After appreciating them one by one, even if you can’t eat them, you will feel at ease just looking at them more.”

"That's right, that's the truth." Li Er and all the officials agreed.

Bai Fan looked at his old father-in-law speechlessly, he was really greedy, how many kinds of life-saving food are there in the world?Hmph, not enough greed?Then here's something good to try.

Seeing that Bai Fan fully agreed: "Okay, okay, father-in-law, don't panic, in fact, there are so many good things here, not all of them are inedible, some things can still be tasted, I will show you."

When he came to the last few boxes and looked at the serial numbers, Bai Fan opened it, took out a small brocade bag, reached out and took out a bright red finger-sized thing, cut off the tail, and put the Some of the yellow particles inside were poured back into the bag, and the red shell was passed towards Li Jiancheng.

"This is my son-in-law's favorite ingredient. It's called Yizhihong. It is absolutely delicious and unique. Even if you don't cook it, eating it directly like this will make people unforgettable for a lifetime. Father-in-law, try it, don't talk about being a son-in-law. I don't know how to be filial." Bai Fan said very seriously.

Li Jiancheng rubbed his hands and said, "How embarrassing is this? No, no, I can't affect the breeding just because of my little curiosity."

"It doesn't matter, the seeds of this thing are inside, that is, the yellow grains. My son-in-law has already taken them out and preserved them, so we won't delay the breeding."

Today Chapter 3 was delivered, thank you for your support.At the same time, I would like to thank the book friends: Little Ma brother mjm, who wants to cry but has no tears for the reward.

Chapter 541 It's a big deal

Li Er anxiously said beside him: "Brother, you really worry a lot, don't you understand this kid? I'm afraid he cherishes immortal food more than you and I.

If you don't want to eat it, give it to me. In short, give it to the second uncle, your father-in-law doesn't know good things. "

Li Jiancheng looked at his second brother's wretched expression, and secretly scolded his second brother, what do you mean I don't know good things?Can your pronunciation be standard?Those who didn't know thought you scolded me for saying it was not a good thing.

"Second, you have a good idea. This is my son-in-law's filial piety to his father-in-law. Why are you joining in the fun? It's not your son-in-law. Of course I want to eat such a good thing."

At this time Li Yuanji stood up and shouted: "Brother, we brothers have always been blessed to share, such a good thing, you have the nerve to take it all?"

"Brother, I want to eat too." Li Yuanba also spoke.

Li Jiancheng was helpless, looking at the expectant and fiery eyes of his three younger brothers, he was really embarrassed to have it all to himself, even though there was only something the size of a finger.

"So, let's share the food, brother, you are good at martial arts, so let's share the food evenly."

Bai Fan really wanted to cover his face and laugh out loud. It seems that the four brothers are not sharing blessings, but practicing sharing hardships.

Who knew that seeing such a situation, the boss of the Xue family was unwilling, and said: "Your Majesty, King Jin, this, the last general also wants to..."

Li Erwei said: "Aiqing, it's okay to divide this into four parts. If I share one part with you, it's really..."

Hou Junji laughed and said: "Your Majesty, there are still quite a few in Jianzhi's place. He said that this thing can be used to take out seeds to breed, but the shell seems useless. Such a good thing looks as red as blood and as bright as jade. , It must be a peerless delicacy, anyway, it will not be used after breeding, how about giving it to us to try it out now? In this way, we can be regarded as having real contact with fairy food. It is not considered ignorant, and going out will not embarrass His Majesty. "

...The officials looked at Hou Junji's obsequious expression, and all took a step back. This guy's words are too good and shameless.

Li Er was really embarrassed to enjoy the delicious food in front of the officials, so he turned to Bai Fan and wanted to ask for his opinion.

Bai Fan didn't agree, nodded and said: "It's okay, I'm my own person today, I'm afraid I'll feel itchy if I don't try the fairy food, there's a lot of bags here, I'll take some out, everyone here will share , Two people share one food, and both taste good things, this is fairy food.

But it’s okay, in order to avoid anyone saying that I’m unfair, after I divide it up, everyone will eat it together, so as to save the people behind from scrambling, come over, come over. "

Seeing the line up to receive the delicious civil and martial arts, Bai Fan was going crazy with joy, but unfortunately there is no video recorder, otherwise, if he can record the whole picture of the embarrassment of the famous officials of the Tang Dynasty later, it will definitely be treasured. I wanted to trick my father-in-law, but no Thinking of killing all these old acquaintances by the way, hahahaha, you can't blame me for this, it's you who are greedy.

There were about forty civil servants and military generals present at the scene. According to seniority, the older came first, the younger followed, and the younger Cheng Huaimo was qualified to follow.

The Xue brothers and Cheng Huaimo were at the end of the line.

After I got them one by one, I couldn't help but keep rubbing and playing with them. I was a little bit reluctant to eat such a good and rare thing.

"Brother Jian Zhi, you see, brother, I have a big appetite, how can half be enough? How about two?" Xue Wanjun smiled obsequiously at Bai Fan.

"Stupid and shameless, it's just your appetite. If it's about appetite, there's still Jingde present. It's your turn?" Qin Shubao scolded with a smile.

Xue Wanjun suddenly lost his temper. Without Li Jing present, Qin Qiong has the highest prestige here in the military. No one dared to stab him, and no one dared to ask for more.

"If you don't give it, you won't give it. It's written on the Wangjing Tower that you can't eat too much delicious food."

With that said, Xue Wanjun put the half of Yizhihong in his hand into his mouth and began to chew.

Everyone looked at this fellow so shameless, they agreed to eat together, why did you start eating first?

At this time, Xue Wanjun hummed, his mouth was tightly shut, his whole body tensed up, even his eyes were closed, and the expression on his face was extremely distorted. This was obviously the feeling of being overwhelmed by delicious food to the extreme.

"How can Hou be behind in the delicacy that can fascinate Daxue?" Hou Junji laughed and started eating.

Seeing this, how can anyone be willing to lag behind?Let's see who is quicker?Even Yu Shinan, an old man in his 70s, was no slower than Li Yuanba.

Um! ×n

A few seconds later, there was a rush of "hm" from the crowd, and Bai Fan was already covering his mouth and trembling non-stop.

"what!……"

A shocking and shrill cry erupted from Xue Wanjun's mouth, like sparks exploding a gunpowder keg, the shrill screams immediately resounded throughout the side hall, and then spread throughout the Lizheng Hall, It is still spreading towards the entire palace at a speed of 330 meters per second.

The shouts of the crowd immediately awakened Li Junxian, the Xuanjia Army guarding inside, and the soldiers of the Forbidden Army guarding outside the door.
