Chapter 410 Auspicious Sweet Potatoes
He tried hard again, and the soil layer loosened, and a series of rhizomes stuck to the black soil were pulled out by Li Fangchen.
Putting it aside and dusting off the surface soil really gave Li Fangchen a surprise.
"Good guys, there are really a lot!"
When it was planted, there was only one small sweet potato. Now more than six months have passed. Not only has this thing taken root and sprouted, but it has also grown a series of "fruits".
There are six in total, one with one palm size, and the largest one is almost three pounds.
For this thing, Li Fangchen tried his best to fertilize and exterminate insects.
Now seeing the results, I can't help laughing loudly.
"Haha, it's done, it's done!"
Li Tai and Wang Xuan'er are so smart. Li Fangchen told them that if this thing works, it will definitely cause an uproar.
I just couldn't understand it before, but now after seeing the huge fruits at the roots, I still don't understand it.
Li Tai grabbed Li Fangchen and asked, "Second brother, tell me the truth, is this thing edible?"
Li Fangchen focused heavily, "Or what do you think I'm working so hard?"
Li Tai's eyes widened and was shocked. When he planted it, he was just a small one, but now he was receiving the goods "amazingly"!
His eyes were congested, his eyes were placed on the second large tank, and he ran over and pulled up hard, and there were four or five.
Li Tai was so happy that his whole body was trembling slightly.
Li Fangchen said to the sixteen who followed him: "Go and get a hammer!"
Sixteen controlled his emotions and hurriedly went to get a hammer for Li Fangchen.
After getting the heavy hammer, Li Fangchen smashed the big jar and spread the soil all over the floor.
He pulled it casually and found two more sweet potatoes.
"Quick! Quick! Quick! Give me a hammer and I'll smash it too!"
Li Tai couldn't wait. At first, he was a little sorry. The second brother's jar came out more than his. Now he understood that there might be "hidden" in the jar that didn't appear.
Wang Xuan'er was also surprised to see her, covering her mouth, afraid that she would be rude at this moment.
After smashing all fifteen jars, Li Fangchen got 76 kilograms of sweet potatoes, and the average number was fifty-three.
Pick out the three largest ones and prepare to eat later.
The rest will be placed for the time being, and after a while, they will be planted again underground.
Li Tai returned to the room excitedly to write a letter, intending to send the good news to Chang'an.
Li Fangchen did not stop him, but instead ordered people to prepare a stove, intending to bake two of them first to try.
The rest has been sent to the kitchen and will be made for sweet potatoes later!
In the high temperature state, the sweet potatoes softened quickly, and a stream of fragrance drifted out, and Li Fangchen couldn't help swallowing.
What he remembered the most in the past was perhaps the fragrant roasted sweet potato on the street. Eat one in winter, and then return home to release some gas with "odor" and enjoy it.
Unfortunately, in the Tang Dynasty, there were no sweet potatoes, no potatoes, and no corn and peppers.
Now that I really found sweet potatoes for him, how can I not be happy?
"Your Highness, it smells so good!"
Not to mention Li Fangchen, even Wang Xuan'er was a little surprised. This thing was so tempting, and it was really a "unexpected joy"!
Li Tai was halfway through the letter, and was tempted by the fragrance and couldn't help but run out of the house.
"Second brother, what delicious food do you make?"
Li Fangchen gave him a blank look, "Even if we are lucky today, we are the first people to taste sweet potatoes in the Tang Dynasty!"
"Don't you try it first if you don't find someone?"
Li Fangchen didn't want to look for him, but Wang Xuan'er refused to accept it. If Li Tai hadn't mentioned it, she would have almost forgotten, what if this thing was poisonous?
He didn't let Li Fangchen eat it first, so this "heavy task" came to Shiliu.
Looking at the expression of surprise and constantly swallowing saliva, Li Fangchen was really amused and crying.
After waiting for half an hour, I guess the sweet potatoes were already roasted and I asked someone to use an iron hook to take them out of the stove.
Sixteen subconsciously reached out and wanted to grab it. Li Fangchen said anxiously: "I'm not afraid of burning you to death, right?"
Sixteen smiled honestly and explained: "Your Highness is right!"
Let someone cut the roasted sweet potatoes into pieces, and they looked golden and soft, and everyone present couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
Especially the taste, it's amazing!
The heat had not yet dissipated, and Shiliu held half a piece of sweet potato and went straight to his mouth.
He didn't care whether he would burn himself. After the thing was in the mouth, the sweet smell almost made him shout out the deliciousness.
He squatted on the ground, not only saying a word, but also giving others a hurried look.
Li Tai said angrily: "Sixteen, you are saying something!"
He just waited for Sixteen to say it was okay, and then savored it.
The Sixteenth book was about to say it directly, but when he saw Li Fangchen wink at him, he immediately held back his original words.
"Oh! Oh my belly!"
Rolling on the ground scared everyone.
Li Fangchen hurriedly shouted to Li Tai: "Go and call Sun Simiao!"
Li Tai dared not agree, so he ran out.
When Li Tai left, Li Fangchen kicked Shiliu, "What's the matter? Are you satisfied with the food?"
Sixteen stood up from the ground with a smile, touched his mouth, "It's okay, I feel like eating three or four meals is no problem!"
"I will share some of the vegetables when they are made later. The rest must be kept and planted after spring."
"Okay, this is great! Your Highness, how about I take someone to watch? I will never allow others to steal!"
"Shut up, you go and watch? Do you want to keep an escort, right?"
Wang Xuan'er was amused and crying. She was shocked just now, but when Sixteen got up again, she understood that Your Highness was playing tricks on King Wei again.
Li Fangchen took a sweet potato, broke it apart and distributed it to Wang Xuan'er.
The two began to taste it, and I have to say that the familiar smell was jumping on the tip of their tongues. Li Fangchen couldn't help but close his eyes and savor it carefully.
"Second brother, I have brought it to Master Sun!"
When Li Fangchen and Wang Xuan'er finished eating, Li Tai reappeared, and the scene before him completely hit Li Tai's weak heart.
"You...sixteen! You dare to lie to me!"
The sweet potato skin on the ground was not cleaned up, and Li Tai immediately realized that he had been deceived.
Sixteen quickly pushed the pot and said, "Don't blame me, this is what Your Highness means."
Sun Simiao smiled and shook his head, but then he smelled the fragrance of the house and was very curious.
“What does this taste like?”
Li Fangchen pointed to the half of the sweet potato reserved by Li Tai, "New grain, sweet potato! Although I prefer to call it sweet potato."
"Oh?" Sun Simiao grabbed the half of the sweet potato directly. Li Tai looked at it and was anxious, "Master Taoist, don't move!"
After saying that, he quickly grabbed it from his own hands. It was obviously left by his second brother. If he was eaten by Sun Laodao, what should he do?
Sun Simiao smiled and said, "Your Highness, there are still a lot left. Is it okay to divide half of the old Taoist priest?"
After spending time with this old Taoist, you will naturally find that this Taoist is too greedy.
Li Tai was very hesitant. This old man was not easy to offend, so he could only share half of the delicious food he got.
The two of them were at the same time, and the old Taoist squinted his eyes and savored the charm.
"Sweet! It's so sweet!"
