Female-to-male: I live on farming
Chapter 69 Testing dishes
Qin Ke gently picked up a piece of tender fish with chopsticks and put it into Lu Youqing's bowl. After thinking for a while, he also picked up some bean sprouts soaked in spicy and delicious soup. He looked at her expectantly and said, "Madam, try it."
Qin Ke was worried that the people here had never tasted spicy food and would find it difficult to accept at first, so the spiciness of the boiled fish was only slightly spicy.
Frankly speaking, Lu Youqing, who did not have a heavy appetite, was also attracted by the tempting aroma of these dishes.
She put the dish Qin Ke brought into her mouth, the delicious fish meat jumped on the tip of her tongue, the delicate texture of the fish meat and the unique spicy taste intertwined and filled her mouth.
This was the first time she tasted spiciness, and a faint warmth rose in her mouth and then in her stomach.
"The taste... is very novel."
Qin Ke turned his head and saw that others had also put their chopsticks into the food. He was surprised at first, but then he couldn't help but scoop up a piece of food with his chopsticks. He was sweating profusely while eating, his lips were red, and he felt that the more he ate, the more delicious it became.
Eating spicy food can speed up the heartbeat and pulse, promote the secretion of gastric juice and saliva, speed up gastrointestinal motility, help increase appetite, give people a sense of pleasure, and stimulate the taste buds. Therefore, there is a saying that the hotter the food, the more you want to eat.
Qin Ke was worried that Lu Youqing had a weak stomach and might have trouble accepting it, so she instead picked up some shredded potatoes for her.
Lu Youqing didn't rush to eat this time. She picked up the evenly chopped potato shreds and looked at them for a while. Seeing that they were crystal clear, she asked, "Are these potatoes grown?"
"Yes, potatoes have a very high starch content and are easy to fill you up. You can also eat them in many ways. The simplest way is to steam them," Qin Ke introduced.
It has a crisp texture, sour taste and is appetizing. It is an extremely refreshing side dish.
After tasting the shredded potatoes, Lu Youqing didn't wait for Qin Ke this time and directly stretched his chopsticks to the potato cubes in the stewed meat.
The potatoes and cabbage in the pork are stewed very well, not to mention they melt in your mouth, they are also very soft. The potato cubes absorb the stewed meat broth fully, and the soft potatoes are rotten in the mouth, with the fragrance of pork. If paired with steamed rice with distinct grains, the taste is even better.
"taste good."
A faint happiness moistened her eyes. Qin Ke looked at the faint smile between her eyebrows and knew that she liked it.
Compared to the two of them who tasted each dish slowly, Han Qi and the others' reactions were much more intuitive. They lowered their heads, stared at the food in the bowl, chewed non-stop, and moved their chopsticks quickly between the bowl and the plate.
"There are many ways to cook potatoes. I will make them for you one by one in the future." Qin Ke finally tasted the familiar flavor and felt extremely satisfied.
Pei Xiu, who was sitting next to them, was no longer surprised by the two of them often showing their affection. Every time she tasted a dish, she would close her eyes and slowly feel its taste, judging how popular it would be if it were placed in Caiyue Tower.
The plates on the table were cleaned up, and even the remaining soup from the stew was poured into the rice by Lei Zhong and his men.
That’s great, it seems that they are very receptive to these dishes, so it will be much easier to promote these vegetables that have never appeared before.
The next period of time is to focus on the harvest of potatoes and peppers. The yield of potatoes per mu can reach about 3,600 kilograms.
The high yield of potatoes is really not covered up. One acre of potato can feed several times more people than wheat and rice. Moreover, it has low soil fertility requirements and high cold resistance. For countries with large population needs, this is a very important crop.
Qin Ke put half of the potatoes he collected directly into Curry. Of course, he also put them into his own space little by little when no one was around.
He collected a little every day, so that others would bring in new potatoes every day and would not notice. Anyway, no one knew how many potatoes he had collected.
As for the rest, Qin Ke found Pei Xiu and asked her to contact someone to bring them to Liangzhou as seeds for next year.
The harvesting of peppers is much faster than that of potatoes. After all, the area is smaller and it is not as troublesome as potatoes. You just need to pick them.
So Qin Ke's yard became a sea of red, with all the vacant space filled with dried peppers. When they first saw the peppers, they came forward curiously, but as soon as they got close, they were driven back by the spicy smell and sneezed several times with their heads down.
When Qin Ke saw this scene, he burst into laughter and mocked them mercilessly.
After being smoked, they would never get close to those things again. They hurriedly ran to Lu Youqing's arms for comfort. Lu Youqing touched their heads and gave Qin Ke a reproachful look.
Qin Ke touched his nose and saw June lying in front of Lu Youqing, exposing her soft belly for her to rub, and he gritted his teeth secretly.
We must cancel their dinner tonight!
Qin Ke was busy with the harvest, while Lu Youqing began to work on the relocation after the New Year. The first thing to be resolved was Li Nanqiao's employment contract.
Li Nanqiao came back after resting at home for a few days, and Lu Youqing called her into the study.
"Madam, is there something wrong?" Li Nanqiao knew that she had something to tell her alone when he saw her.
After living together for such a long time, Lu Youqing was reluctant to leave, but she could not force others to leave their hometown and move with her to distant Liangzhou. This was her home and there were family members she depended on and could not leave behind.
"Nan Qiao, my husband and I will be heading to Liangzhou after the New Year."
Li Nanqiao's heart skipped a beat and he asked, "Will you come back?"
"We will probably settle there temporarily." Lu Youqing had a look of reluctance on his face.
Li Nanqiao fell silent.
She did not ask them why they left Qinghe Village and had to go to such a remote place. She knew they had their own plans.
Although she is not that smart, she can still understand some things.
"Nan Qiao, I know your family and relatives are all here. My husband and I have no intention of forcing you to go to Liangzhou with us. The contract we signed at that time can be terminated at any time." Lu Youqing stood up, walked in front of her, and explained softly: "My husband and I have discussed that after we leave, the fields in Qinghe Village under our name will be fully handed over to you. You can arrange them freely and keep the harvest for yourself. These are enough for you and your mother to have food and clothing in the future."
Li Nanqiao knew that according to what they said, she had made a fortune.
They didn't charge her rent, so the dozens of acres of land basically belonged to her. Few families in the village had that much land.
Both her husband and her are very good people. They gave her a well-paid job when she was in trouble.
Her wife still taught her to read and write in her spare time, and even though they were leaving, they did their best to make arrangements for her.
