Dominate the ancient academy

Shu Xiaoxiao pointed at the sweet potato in her hand and introduced: "The simplest way to eat sweet potatoes is to peel them and eat them directly as fruit. It is both delicious and convenient."

Shu Xiaoxiao said it simply, but holding a dagger in her hand, she carefully peeled the sweet potatoes, hoping to show off her skills in front of the dean and Senior Brother Yun.

As a result, after just two peels, the sweet potato in her hand became bumpy, and the skin that was peeled on the ground was so thick that Shu Xiaoxiao felt it was a waste.

She looked up at the three people and felt a little guilty.

Nowadays, there are all kinds of peelers, so even if you want to peel a flower, it’s no problem. She always peels perfectly.

But now, she doesn't need to peel the fruit herself when eating it. The dagger in her hand was given to her by her elder brother for self-defense.

She had been in the military science class for a while and had overestimated herself.

Even if she learned horse riding and archery, these had nothing to do with peeling fruit.

So using a dagger to peel the skin was indeed beyond her ability.

When the three of them saw Shu Xiaoxiao peeling sweet potatoes, their mouths twitched.

Even if this lump of soil has a high yield, it cannot be wasted like this.

Huo Feng quickly took the sweet potato from Shu Xiaoxiao and said softly, "It's just peeling, let me do it!"

Huo Feng originally thought that Young Master Ye was just wasting the sweet potatoes, but when he held the dagger in his hand, Huo Feng realized that when Young Master Ye peeled the potatoes, he wasted not only the sweet potatoes, but also the dagger.

I didn't look at it carefully before, but now that I hold it in my hand, I realize that this is not an ordinary dagger. This dagger is made of black iron. Not only is it able to cut through iron like mud, but it is also extremely sharp. It is also a rare treasure, and it is in the hands of Lord Shu, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple.

Unexpectedly, Young Master Ye was quite favored in the General's Mansion. This black iron dagger was not given to his own brother, but to Young Master Ye.

This way, the prince won't have to worry all the time that Young Master Ye is being wronged in the General's Mansion. This treatment is not much worse than that of the upright young masters in the mansion.

Such a good dagger is a waste in the hands of Master Ye! Even peeling a sweet potato can make him lose his grip. If the black iron dagger had a spirit, it would cry.

Huo Feng complained silently in his heart, but his hands moved quickly.

Compared to Shu Xiaoxiao's unfamiliarity, peeling the fruit seemed particularly easy in Huo Feng's hands.

In just two breaths, Huo Feng had peeled the sweet potato, which was bigger than an adult's palm, cleanly and evenly.

The thin skin looks more natural than the one Shu Xiaoxiao peeled with a peeler.

Shu Xiaoxiao: No way! No way!

It seems that she should wait and eat from now on.

After peeling the potatoes, Huo Feng deftly cut them into pieces under the guidance of Huo Xiaoxiao. He put them neatly on a plate and placed them in front of them.

"Huo Feng, clean the remaining sweet potatoes, steam half of them, peel the other half, cut them into small pieces, and cook them with water."

Huo Feng quickly picked up the sweet potatoes on the ground and took them to the kitchen to wash and cut them into pieces.

Shu Xiaoxiao sighed once again, Huo Feng was indeed a talented person, he could go to the battlefield and also go into the kitchen, he looked a little sloppy, but he was surprisingly reliable.

No wonder he can be Brother Yun’s personal bodyguard.

Given Senior Brother Yun’s status, people without some ability really can’t get close to him. And as Senior Brother Yun’s personal bodyguard, his ability is still very trustworthy.

"Headmaster, these are relatively simple ways to eat sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes are crisp and sweet when eaten raw. They can also be steamed or boiled. They have a soft, glutinous and sweet taste. Both the elderly and children can eat them."

"Try it. Eat it raw. It will definitely surprise you."

Listening to Shu Xiaoxiao's introduction, Shanzhang and Yun Qinghan each picked up a piece of sweet potato.

Shu Xiaoxiao also quickly ate a piece. She hadn't eaten it for a long time and really missed it.

After swallowing it, Shu Xiaoxiao said happily: "It's crunchy, Senior Brother Yun, it tastes good, right?"

Yun Qinghan nodded in agreement: "Well, it's pretty good. The sweet potato tastes sweet and has a hint of sweetness compared to cucumber. It's good."

After getting a satisfactory answer, Shu Xiaoxiao looked at the headmaster again. The headmaster was a bit old after all, and the hardness of the sweet potato was a bit difficult for him to break.

"Young people and children should like this way of eating."

It's a bit hard for an old man like him to bear!

Shu Xiaoxiao ate another piece and continued to explain: "Don't worry, Headmaster, sweet potatoes are suitable for all ages. In addition to being eaten raw, they can also be steamed, boiled, or roasted. They have a soft and glutinous texture and are especially suitable for the elderly. You will definitely like them."

After hearing what Shu Xiaoxiao said, the headmaster began to look forward to sweet potatoes again.

Can such hard sweet potatoes become soft and glutinous by boiling?

While the sweet potatoes are being steamed, Shu Xiaoxiao continues to explain how to eat them and some things that need attention.

“Sweet potatoes have a high yield and can be eaten in a variety of ways. They can be used as staple food or fruit, and can also be made into sweet potato jerky, which is a dried fruit. They are delicious and can be preserved for a long time.

You can also try it for cooking, making snacks, etc. It is definitely a good food that every family must have.”

Thinking of the sugar-coated sweet potatoes and roasted sweet potatoes in the past, Shu Xiaoxiao started drooling.

Shanzhang and Yun Qinghan listened with great interest. If the sweet potatoes were really like what Ye Xiao said, it would be acceptable even if the taste was a little worse.

Seeing the increasingly satisfied expressions on the faces of Dean and Senior Brother Yun, Shu Xiaoxiao remembered that there was one thing she had not said yet.

Although sweet potato has extremely high yield and can be said to be the undisputed king of yield among various crops, it also has a small disadvantage.

Shu Xiaoxiao sat up straight and continued to introduce: "Shanzhang, Senior Brother Yun, although sweet potatoes are good in every way, they also have some shortcomings."

Shanzhang and Yun Qinghan looked up at Shu Xiaoxiao. After talking about so many advantages of sweet potatoes, it was obvious that Shu Xiaoxiao highly praised sweet potatoes. Unexpectedly, there were actually disadvantages?

"Sweet potatoes are good in every way. They have a high yield and taste good, but there is one thing: if you eat too much of them, you may suffer from indigestion and bloating, which may lead to...gas."

This should be polite enough for her to say. In front of Senior Brother Yun, it is a bit difficult to say "fart".

"Of course, this is only the case when you eat too much. If you only eat sweet potatoes for three meals a day, you will easily feel uncomfortable. There is also a way to relieve it. Cut the sweet potatoes into pieces and cook them with rice or flour to avoid this situation."

Yun Qinghan, who was a little worried, breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Although there were some shortcomings, compared with its advantages, these were not worth mentioning.

It’s not like Daning only has one kind of food, and it just causes bloating and is a bit indecent. I believe that this is nothing in front of the hungry people.

"Junior Brother Ye, don't worry. It's just... just passing gas. No one will care about it if you're not full. Junior Brother Ye is already great."

"Well, thank you, Senior Brother. Cut these sweet potatoes Huo Feng into two or three pieces and cook them. You can eat them. When there is no open flame, bury one piece in the fire. It should be ready to eat in two quarters of an hour."
