No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

Eight hundred kilograms of rice per mu?

Anyone who hears this sentence will find it incredible!

You should know that under good weather conditions, the rice yield per mu can reach more than 300 kilograms, which is already a top-quality farmland.

The yield per mu is 800 kilograms, which the Fourth Master couldn't even imagine!

Lin Mingyan was calm. After all, she had anticipated this result. This was the rice seed she gave to Wei Wu using the divine seed.

The Fourth Master was shocked and said, "Wei Wu, tell me the truth, is it really 800 kilograms?!"

Could it be that this isolated case occurred because a lot of fertilizer was used on this acre of land and the location is particularly good?

The Fourth Master was a little confused, thinking that even if it was an isolated case, it was already very good.

Wei Wu said with a cheerful face, "Your Majesty, it's true. I never lied!"

"And it's not just one or two acres that are like this; this is the average calculated from all the experimental fields."

He often went to see the rice when it was still in the fields.

When he was pulling out the seedlings, he felt that the rice was growing very vigorously and looked thicker.

When the rice ears emerged, we found something different: they were particularly full.

But at that time, I didn’t expect to grow 800 kilograms!

"...After harvesting the rice and drying it in the sun, everyone felt something was wrong. There was just too much rice!"

"After the final weighing, one acre can produce 800 kilograms!"

When Wei Wu got the number, he immediately took the rice and rushed to the capital.

He still feels dizzy and his whole body feels light as if he has not fallen to the ground.

This feeling of unreality still hangs over him.

The Fourth Master actually laughed this time, praising repeatedly, "Good, good, good, God bless our Qing Dynasty."

He also knew that the country's prosperity in recent years was actually due to sweet potatoes.

Because sweet potatoes can fill people's stomachs, the population is growing, people live and work in peace and contentment, and everyone feels unprecedentedly happy.

But people are never satisfied. Once their stomachs are filled, they will continue to seek higher goals.

Now that people can eat their fill, they want to eat better.

Therefore, white rice and white flour have become very expensive now, and the price has even doubled compared to five years ago.

But there is no way to prohibit this kind of thing.

Even if the government opened its granaries and sold grain at low prices, it would still be far from enough to meet the needs of the people.

If this happens, something will definitely go wrong.

At this critical juncture, a rice crop with an annual yield of 800 kilograms per mu suddenly appeared. How could he not be overjoyed?!

The Fourth Master calmed down for a moment and then asked, "How does this rice taste compared to normal rice?"

He also knew that if the output was high, the taste and quality would not be very good.

If the taste is not as good as the original rice seeds, it is actually a bit useless and still cannot meet the needs of the people.

Wei Wu was now even more proud, and raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, this rice tastes even better than before!"

"When the rice is cooked, it smells so good. Once it's done, the whole house is filled with the fragrance."

"Then bring it here quickly and cook a pot to see!" The Fourth Master was an impatient person. After others said this, he really couldn't wait to see it.

Lin Mingyan laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her back, watching him so excitedly.

I thought to myself, isn’t this seed good in every way?

This has been improved by divine seeds. If the wine can be so fragrant, then this rice must be extremely delicious, right?

At least it can compare with the fragrant rice of later generations, the Qing Dynasty version of "Wuchang Rice"?

Soon, the new rice was delivered to the imperial kitchen, and the Fourth Master was still asking Wei Wu some details with great interest.

Lin Mingyan followed him to the imperial kitchen because she was also a little greedy.

To be honest, even if she doesn't have much money in modern times, she has enough rice, and it tastes better than the rice in ancient times.

When she got here, she gradually became more powerful and had tasted all kinds of delicacies.

But the only drawback is that you can’t eat these delicious things with a bowl of fragrant rice.

just now!

The rice is here!

Lin Mingyan became interested and steamed the rice herself, then poured the rice into the iron pot and simmered it with the remaining heat from the charcoal fire until it was dry.

This kind of rice is not only dry and distinct in grains, but also produces a big and round rice crust.

While the rice was simmering, the aroma enveloped the imperial kitchen.

Even Zhang Dajian, who was used to eating delicacies from land and sea, sniffed his nose and thought to himself, how could rice smell so good now?

It’s not like I haven’t made green stem rice porridge before, but it’s never been as fragrant as this.

The greedy little eunuch had been walking back and forth, passing by this pot of rice several times.

If Lin Mingyan hadn't brought Rendong to cook here personally, they would have probably lifted the lid of the pot to investigate who this person was.

The young eunuch swallowed his saliva several times, which made Lin Mingyan want to laugh.

The meal was ready anyway, so she didn't stand here and get in the way.

He stood up and took Honeysuckle out, leaving a message: "It's time for dinner. This is the new rice this year. Let everyone have a taste."

She and the Fourth Master couldn't eat much, and even if they added Honeysuckle and a few others, they still couldn't finish this big pot.

Let everyone in the imperial kitchen try it and feel the joy of this new rice.

As soon as Lin Mingyan and Rendong left the imperial kitchen, cheers were heard from inside.

Who in the Old Summer Palace doesn’t want to bask in the Empress’s glory?

Being able to receive her reward, even if it was just an ordinary bowl of rice, was enough for them to talk about for a long time.

The little eunuch who had just been walking around was laughing so hard that tears were streaming from his mouth.

Zhang Dajian slapped him on the head and said, "Why don't you go get a bowl to eat?"

He also wanted to try what kind of divine meal the Queen herself cooked!

The imperial kitchen was as cheerful as New Year's Day, and Lin Mingyan took the meal back to Jiuzhou Qingyan.

The Fourth Master asked so many questions that his mouth was dry. He asked all the details without missing a single one, and then he drank his tea in a good mood.

When Lin Mingyan came in, he was surprised to realize that she was not there just now.

"You cooked the meal yourself?" He thought of this immediately.

Cha Cha likes to do these by herself because she thinks cooking for her family is a very happy thing.

But after entering the palace, there was no such opportunity.

After all, as the mother of a country, going into the kitchen to do such things personally would be something that others would talk about.

Now they live in the Old Summer Palace. Apart from their family, the rest of the people here are servants.

She was starting to do these little things again.

Lin Mingyan nodded: "Are you hungry? Come and try my cooking."

In addition to cooking, she also tried making a hot pot that was delicious with rice.

Especially this big piece of rice crust, dipped in the spicy hot pot sauce, it is so delicious.

The Fourth Master had never seen such a dish with mixed ingredients in his life, and he started eating with great interest...
