C1328 It's That Simple

If it was really as Yang Soong had said, the production of potatoes and sweet potatoes was really copious, it would be a secret as to how to plant them.

"Can potatoes really be the main food, and can even be cooked?" Zuo Yu definitely had a lot of eyes in the city.

Yang Soong nodded. "Yes, they can be steamed and eaten directly. They can also be stir-fried and delicious while being roasted. As long as they are not eaten raw, they can be eaten no matter what. They are also very delicious."

Zuo Yu did not believe it very much.

He was the commander, so he naturally had doubts about everything.

If people were like the clouds, White Water City would have been gone a long time ago.

Yang Soong said again, "We can ask the chefs of Hundred Phoenix Pavilion to teach the chefs in the military how to cook potatoes. There are simple cooking methods and also specific details. They are all very delicious."

"How long will it take to learn it?"

"I should learn it tomorrow. It is not difficult."

The potato cooking was very simple, the cook in the military camp could pick a pillar to make tens of thousands of people's food, learning a potato dish was too simple.

"Tomorrow?" Zuo Yu was surprised.

"Basically, I'll be able to read it once, just in case. I'll keep them to practice in the Hundred Phoenix Pavilion. I'll let them come back after checking them out. I think they'll be able to do it when they come back to the camp tomorrow night at the latest. However, it will take about four days to learn how to make powder. If you want the powder, it will be easier to store and transport it. I'll have to keep enough time for the sun to dry up. I'll have to watch them do it once."

"In other words, I only need five days to learn all of them?"

Cooking for one day, cooking noodles for four days.

"No, it's a total of four days. You just need to put the noodles in the air and dry them in the sun. When you have free time, come and learn how to cook potato dishes."

It's too simple.

Zuo Yu asked again, "What's the output of potatoes?"

Yang Soong said, "About three thousand to five thousand kilograms per acre."

"What did you say?" Zuo Yu suddenly slammed the table and stared at Yang Soong angrily. He looked like he wanted to chop Yang Soong into eight pieces.

Yang Soong covered his ears with his hands. "You heard it right. It is three thousand to five thousand kilograms of yield per acre. The main reason is because the land is not good enough. If it is a fertile land... If you choose an outstanding seed, you can produce six thousand to eight thousand kilograms per acre. Was this a problem?

There's no need to be shocked. When I told the prefectural magistrate and county magistrate, they were also so surprised."

Zuo Yu controlled himself not to point his blade at Yang Soong's neck and said calmly," Do you know what crime it is to deceive the commander? "

Yang Soong said, "I don't know, but I guess it is similar to chopping heads. Little Qingshan still has a few acres of land to be confiscated. Bring people to verify it."

"Order the troops, bring the scales, and go immediately." Zuo Yu actually wanted to go personally. "You too."

Yang Soong was also brought along.

Quick horses, and they were all good horses.

The side where Little Qingshan was facing the sun was almost full of potatoes and sweet potatoes.

"Be careful, don't step on the field." Zuo Yu was the first to dismount. He ordered his men to tie the horse further away and personally went down to the ground. He stared at the exposed seedlings in the field and said, "Is it growing underground?"

Yang Soong followed him down and pulled a few sweet potatoes out. "This is the sweet potato field."

The sweet potato stalks were pulled out. There were four or five of them, and they were not small.

Yang Soong pulled down one and immediately a worker handed over a bucket.

After washing it clean, he opened it up. The sweet sweet sweet potato was emitting the honey juice. He took a bite and it was full of sweet taste.

"Worthy of being a mountain sweet potato, delicious!" Yang Soong rode his horse and ran so far away. He just happened to be thirsty.

Zuo Yu stared at him and bit down on him like he was eating snacks.

Yang Soong finally found it and gave him half of it. "Try it."

Zuo Yu was not shy either. She did not need much strength. The crisp texture was like a fruit. The juice was very rich. It could quench one's thirst and also fill one's stomach. The most important thing was that it was sweet.

How expensive was the sugar? Generally, people in White Water City would only be willing to add half a kilogram of sweet mouth to supplement their body during festivals.

In the cold Northern Territory, sugar could replenish one's physical strength the most.

After eating half of the sweet potato in a few bites, Zuo Yu carefully weighed the weight of each sweet potato and pinched it hard. It was very solid and not low in weight.

Zuo Yu did not need to do it personally. She squatted on the ground and plucked half a basket of sweet potatoes.

Weighing the weight.

"No less than 20 pounds."

He didn't even move his feet. The sweet potatoes were planted very densely in the ground.

"20 jins, 20 jins, hahahaha..."

Zuo Yu was so excited that tears were streaming down his face. The yield per acre could definitely reach more than a thousand pounds.

This mountain area could only be considered a medium-low farmland. White Water City did not lack fertile fields.

With such an output of food, the civilians would not starve to death, and the soldiers would no longer need to tighten their belts.

Before the soldiers and horses moved, the rations and grass were first served.

Whether it was the war or the defense, the grain was of utmost importance.

The thing that annoyed Zuo Yu the most every year was to rush the Ministry of Revenue for food. Those bastards had never given all of them and had never given them on time.

If they were self-sufficient.

"How can sweet potatoes be eaten?"

Yang Soong said, "They are sweet. They can be the main food. They can be eaten raw or cooked with porridge or steamed and roasted. It is convenient to store them. If you want to make them into vegetables, you can just make sweet potatoes into strips."

"Can sweet potatoes also be made into strips of rice?" Yang Soong asked.

"Of course."

"Where can I find potatoes?" Wang Yao asked.

"On the other side."

Zuo Yu hurried over and dug with her hands.

The potatoes were buried deeper and heavier than sweet potatoes.

"Can I eat them directly?"

Yang Soong choked. "No!"2

"The potato cannot be eaten raw. It must be cooked. "

Yang Soong ordered people to steam the potatoes, roast potatoes, cut shredded stir-fried potatoes, and stewed potatoes.

"We can also make some sweet potatoes."

Soon, Zuo Yu tasted it.

"Delicious!"

It was delicious. There was nothing that wasn't delicious.

The soldiers who came with them each received steamed sweet potatoes and roasted potatoes.

The sweet potatoes were even sweeter after they were steamed, and the potatoes carried a burnt aroma as they ate until their stomachs were full.

Zuo Yu looked at Yang Soong with shining eyes.

"What do you want to do?"

"How do you plant them?"

Potato and sweet potatoes could actually survive in a barren hill like Little Qingshan. If they were planted in a good field, the yield would definitely be higher.

Zuo Yu made up his mind that he had to let Yang Soong tell him how to plant them. Otherwise, he would raise his knife.

"It's very simple. You just need to leave your Personal Guards to follow them and learn from them. We are about to plant another wave."

Yang Soong did not care about his behavior at all. Zuo Yu was very confused. "Do you know what this means?"

The national economy was the livelihood of the people. As long as the potato and sweet potato were planted successfully, Great Xia would not be so easily starved to death in the future.

With grain, the combat strength of the Great Xia army was guaranteed.

Yang Soong was a businessman, and this was definitely a business opportunity.

At least it could help Yang Soong become the richest man in the country.

As long as he could use his money, Yang Soong could totally surpass everyone else.

"Of course I know, but I'm not interested." Yang Soong smiled and said, "General Zuo may not know me. Compared to businessmen, I'm more willing to be a successful chef."

His profession was to be a chef, and being a boss was just convenient.

Zuo Yu was not very understanding. How could someone so easily reject Heaven Breaker's wealth and unparalleled power?

Yang Soong said, "Perhaps if I explain it like this, General Zuo will understand. You are a general, and you are a scholar. If the world is peaceful and the court is clear, I'm afraid General will be more willing to be a teacher, teach people how to read and also teach people how to practice martial arts."
