Bring the Farm To Wear Chronology

When Empress Changsun and the others came back, they gave some fruits to the concubines in the various palaces. Of course, it was only the concubines and concubines from the first rank such as Zhaoyi and Zhaorong. The treatment was not given to Jieyu.

Of course, there are concubines who have given birth to children, but those are the fruits that Empress Changsun, as the aunt, gave to concubines and concubines, not to those concubines.

Empress Changsun didn't buy much fruit this time, and after sending it to the concubines and princes and daughters, they didn't have much left, but it was enough for their family of five to eat for a while.

Empress Changsun thought about it, and planned to go to the store to buy some tomorrow, and then asked Li Shimin to give it to those Dukes and officials who had made contributions to the Tang Dynasty.

The royal people can't enjoy it, but those officials didn't enjoy these fresh fruits, right?

However, when Empress Changsun and her mother and son went shopping in the store, Li Shimin asked the people in the dining room to cook corn, roast sweet potatoes, and stew lamb chops with potatoes, and invited these heroes to have a meal together.

Li Shimin asked the people in the dining room to make this meal with the recipe that Li Chengqian had bought before. It was made with three ingredients: corn, sweet potato and potato. Li Shimin planned to let these officials eat it well, and then let them serve it. Spread the heart out.

Although he had just bought seeds from Datang's side and let him and the Queen's Zhuangzi plant them during spring plowing, but if you want to eat them, can't you still buy fresh ones from the shop? Li Shimin wouldn't wait until the potatoes and sweet potatoes on their side were planted before tasting it.

Li Shimin and the others had already eaten boiled corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes before, and now it was time for the royal chefs in the dining room to show their skills in making these ingredients delicious and more dishes.

So today's dish has assorted corn kernels. Of course, Datang does not have ham sausage, and of course there is no ham, but there is air-dried meat. So the chef in the dining room made it out of diced air-dried meat, diced carrots, and fried peas.

The pork ribs for corn stewed ribs were still bought from the store. At this time, the nobles regarded pork as cheap meat. Even though the technology of pig breeding appeared at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was not widely spread, and most of our pigs have never been pigs.

Then there are corn dishes, roasted corn, boiled corn and other corn dishes.

Then there are potatoes, potato stewed lamb chops, hot and sour potato shreds, pan-fried potato cakes, braised potatoes, etc., and then sweet potatoes are roasted sweet potatoes, pork stewed vermicelli, mutton stewed vermicelli and so on.

This meal was really rich, but most of these princes fought with Li Shimin, so they were not very restrained. They were very bold when they ate, and they forgot to ask what the ingredients were.

Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong, the two big bosses, ate so much that they couldn't even lift their heads, while the civil officials like Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling were much more refined, and they didn't eat as rough and bold as these two.

Qin Qiong and Li Jing are Confucian generals, and they eat very politely, which is different from Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong.

"Your Majesty, what a good day today to treat us to such a sumptuous meal? This is too delicious." Cheng Yaojin finally asked Li Shimin when he was about 70% full.

The cooking skills of the royal chefs are all very good, plus there are recipes and seasonings, the taste of the food is also very good.

Cheng Yaojin really didn't expect that most of these foods, which are cooked in the same way as the boiled, stewed, and steamed ones they ate before, turned out to be so delicious.

"What kind of food is this? It's soft and glutinous, and you will feel full after eating too much." Li Jing asked while eating. As generals who march and fight, they value food very much.

The food in front of me is very delicious, and the potatoes and corn have a very good feeling of fullness. The roasted sweet potato is also very delicious, and the feeling of fullness is also very good.

"Hahaha..." Li Shimin smiled in a good mood, "This is a good thing I got not long ago."

Li Shimin ordered the raw corn and sweet potatoes to be brought up, and then introduced to others, "This is corn, this is the ingredients for this assorted corn kernels and these baked and roasted corn. It tastes very good."

"And this corn has a sweet taste. If you boil a large pot of corn in clear water, not only the corn is delicious, but also the soup that boils the corn is sweet. You don't need to add salt or sugar, and the water for boiling the corn is sweet. Very delicious." Li Shimin said with a smile.

When he bought the corn before, he asked the people in the dining room to cook the corn. After a pot of ten or twenty corns was cooked, he distributed the corn to the children, and then gave the children the corn soup. Boiled corn does not need to add salt or sugar, and the water is very sweet.

In fact, according to the saying, adding a little salt when cooking corn can increase the sweetness, but Datang does not have much salt and the price of salt is high. Since the corn itself is very sweet, why add salt? So Li Shimin eats corn without salt. Not only is the corn delicious, but the soup is also sweet.

"Is this corn so good? Can it be sweet without adding sugar?" Cheng Yaojin quickly took a boiled corn from the table after hearing what Li Shimin said, and then took a spoon to taste the boiled corn soup. Could not help narrowing his eyes. "Your Majesty is really good. This corn soup is really sweet."

"Hahaha... of course." Li Shimin said in a good mood, "The most important thing is that this corn can be grown in dry land or mountainous land, and it does not take up good land. Moreover, the yield of corn is one thousand catties per mu. , if you take good care of it, there may be a little more."

"Is what your Majesty said true?" After hearing Li Shimin say the yield of corn per mu, all the officials present looked at him in surprise.

They were all pleasantly surprised, food is also very important to them. It is that they are born in a family, and their family background is good, but most of them are military officers who serve as soldiers and fight, and what they care most about is food and grass.

What is the most important thing for soldiers to fight? Food of course.

There is enough food, so that the soldiers can have enough energy to fight when they are full. How can a war be fought if the soldiers are all half-starved? No strength to kill the enemy.

And Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui are all civil servants, but it doesn't mean they don't know the importance of food.

Even if they are all born in a family, the family doesn't care much about how the people live, they only care about whether they are living well, whether they are extravagant or not. But these people are officials, and although they all seek benefits for their own families, it is impossible for them not to care about Datang's interests.

All of them are happy with the high grain yield.

"It's not just corn, this is sweet potato. This is roasted sweet potato, and this is vermicelli made of sweet potato. The vermicelli that was just stewed with meat in soup is made of sweet potato. The yield of sweet potato is very high, with an yield of five or six thousand catties per mu. .”

"Potatoes are similar. The yield of potatoes is about four to five thousand catties per mu. Sweet potatoes and potatoes are high-yielding grains. If they are popularized, sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn will be planted throughout the Tang Dynasty. You can eat enough." Li Shimin said excitedly.

Even though he has known for a long time that the yields of sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn are high, he has not been able to calm down until now. How many people can be fed with such a high-yield grain? With such a high-yield grain in Datang, they will develop even more prosperously in the future.

"The seeds of these kinds of grains have been planted by Zhuangzi, and they can be harvested in a few months." Li Shimin said with a smile, "According to the information I got, these kinds of crops can be planted twice a year. If you are in the south, you can plant it three times."

Li Shimin was really happy. Not only did he buy so many high-yielding grain seeds from the store, but he also bought other things.

As the emperor, he really hoped that he could manage the Tang Dynasty well, and then let the Tang Dynasty enter the prosperous age, and he would also leave his name in history as an emperor through the ages.

Every emperor thinks this way, and Li Shimin is no exception.

Others understood Li Shimin's thoughts very well. Of course, they also hope that they can be famous in history, and they hope that they have a family behind them and future generations will be better, so they discussed with Li Shimin about the planting and promotion of these crops, etc.

Li Shimin also showed various eating methods and methods of tofu, such as tofu skin, tofu puff, dried tofu, fermented bean curd, stinky tofu and so on.

As an emperor, it is impossible for Li Shimin to keep the various methods and eating methods of tofu for profit. He intends to promote these methods and eating methods of tofu so that the common people can make and eat it by themselves.

Even if it is hard to grind and make tofu, isn't that a kind of income? There are also things like bean curd, dried tofu, and yuba that can be put away, so you can make more and sell them.

Of course other people have no objection, even if they want to participate in a share to make money, they can't grab it from Li Shimin.

However, Li Shimin did not treat everyone badly. The method of tofu is to be promoted, but he intends to hand over the methods of yuba, fermented bean curd, and tofu skin to these people. After all, ordinary people cannot make these things on a large scale. Only those families can do it.

There are also soybeans that can be used to extract oil, soybeans to make soy sauce, soybean paste, bean paste, etc. Li Shimin has no intention of handing over all of them. The emperor is also very poor, okay?

He doesn't intend to compete with the people for profit, but of course he can take out things that the common people don't know how to let the clan or his queen manage. Li Shimin is really not a pedantic emperor.

He can not compete for the interests of the people for the sake of the people, but it does not mean that he will not consider his own interests without competing for the interests of the people.

Li Shimin chatted with his subordinates for a long time, and then when Li Jing and Changsun Wuji left, they not only had enough food and drink, but also brought the tofu recipes that Li Shimin gave them.

Li Shimin left behind the methods of extracting oil from soybeans, making soy sauce, and bean paste from soybeans, and then gave out bean sprouts, soybean paste, and other methods to others, and he said that making these things requires small profits but high sales. They are not allowed to raise prices.

Li Shimin wanted to let the common people live a good life through the hands of these aristocratic families, not to give the aristocratic families a way to make them squeeze the common people more harshly.

Li Shimin also came from aristocratic families, of course he knew very well the nature of these families. But now that he is the emperor and no longer a son of the family, what he sees is the interests of the entire Tang Dynasty, not the interests of the family.

It will be gone tomorrow, and it is too difficult to restore 10,000 updates, so I can only keep 6,000 updates per day.
