Chapter 896 Ending (10)

Chapter 896 Episode (10)

Xue Mei made a sweet potato feast to entertain everyone.

Those who come to work today, including those who brought them by themselves, have at least two hundred people; while those who brought them by the little emperor and the two empress dowagers also have two or three hundred people.

The meals for hundreds of people were not that easy to cook. Fortunately, Xue Mei was rich and generous, so she called all the chefs from several restaurants in the Little Prince.

There were a total of forty chefs, and ten of them, led by Dai's mother, specially made delicious food for the masters.

“The first course is roasted sweet potatoes.”

"Sweet potato rice."

“Sweet potato porridge.”

"The round made of sweet potato flour is braised with beef. This is called sweet potato round pork."

"Stewed pork ribs with sweet potato pieces. It's better if you have potatoes, but unfortunately I haven't found the potatoes yet. I can use sweet potatoes instead, and I can eat them too. The taste may be a bit fresh and sweet."

"This is a sweet potato pie, with milk and sugar. I taught this and made of roasted sweet potatoes. This is more difficult and requires a baking kiln. I made it a temporary baking kiln."

"The sweet potato glutinous rice balls are also fried with sweet potato flour."

"The fried sweet chips are also the ones that are dipped in the outside are sugar. The fried sweet chips are delicious when dipped in sugar."

“…”

Xue Mei stood beside him and chatted endlessly, introducing the sweet potatoes that were served one by one to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, the Little Emperor, and the Four Auxiliary Ministers.

Xiao Jingcheng sat next to him with a gentle expression, not stopping Xue Mei.

Xue Mei made all kinds of fresh tricks today, and the little emperor liked them very much and kept eating them.

She told everyone: "Sweet potatoes are the most poor way to eat, and the rich way to eat, and the rich way to eat, and the top;

It also has low requirements for soil and climate. It can be planted in fertile land and barren sand. It can be planted in cold places and hot places.

It can be eaten when it is cooked and raw. It is easy to preserve, and can be carried by making dried sweet potatoes, which is more convenient than ordinary dry food."

Everyone listened.

On that day, most of the officials, the Empress Dowager and others returned to the city after lunch.

The officials' servants are still helping with their work.

Xiu Chao and Xi Baochen were riding in the same carriage. Xi Baochen asked him: "I think you have a big appetite and eat twice as much as usual. Do you have a stomachache now?"

"It doesn't hurt, it tastes delicious." Xiu Chao said, "Mother, that sweet potato pie is so delicious. I'll let my aunt teach the imperial chef. I want to eat this from time to time."

"I'll turn around and ask your aunt for your wish." Xi Baochen said.

Xiu Chao: "My aunt is so amazing. The Grand Tutor said that the court officials were very suspicious of the production of sweet potatoes, which was actually a bit stupid. Just imagine, if you were not fully sure, how could my aunt let rumors spread privately and destroy her reputation?

Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, the Grand Tutor is sure that my aunt will win. Sure enough, my aunt won, and even the Prime Minister has nothing to say. The old man is so interesting. When I saw him secretly gnawing raw sweet potatoes, maybe he didn't believe that my aunt said 'Sweet potatoes can be eaten raw'."

Xi Baochen rarely saw Xiu Chao becoming more lively, and even joked about the prime minister, and couldn't help laughing.

When the mother and son returned to the city, they had a long time of fun.

Xi Baochen was very happy to see Xiu Chao becoming more lively.

Prime Minister Song did not come back.

The old man took his servants to dig up his acre of land.

He also ate sweet potatoes in suburban counties for three days.

Sweet potatoes are indeed delicious, they can replace food and can also help them fill them. He has not been stained with oil, water and rice these days, and only eats sweet potatoes. After all, there are enough sweet potatoes here.

He wanted to know whether it would be possible to keep a sweet potato in his pocket in his life if it was a famine.

After three days, he found that it was indeed possible, which was similar to eating white rice for three days - he was a little weak, after all, he didn't eat salt.

Its hunger effect is better than rice and flour.

Prime Minister Song was completely convinced.

Because of his low terrain, the rainfall he got was abundant, and the yield per mu exceeded 6,000 kilograms.

Xue Mei gave the remaining 1,000 kilograms to Prime Minister Song and also gave him a booklet.

The booklet contains both text and patterns, and it is divided into three parts.

The first part, how to cook sweet potatoes, later on, were all kinds of recipes, which were quite simple. Because the processing of sweet potatoes is not difficult in itself.

The second part is how to plant sweet potatoes, how to cultivate vines, how to insert them into the ground, how to water them, etc.

The third part is to introduce how to store sweet potatoes so that fresh sweet potatoes can survive the winter.

This aroused the great curiosity of Prime Minister Song, because it is indeed not easy to preserve fresh sweet potatoes for winter.

Xue Mei’s method is similar to preserving vegetables: digging a cellar.

Three days later, the sweet potatoes were finished.

Xue Mei had already arranged for the servants to distribute their dividends, transport the sweet potatoes back, and store them in the already-made cellar.

Before leaving, Lord Song came over to meet Xue Mei.

"Princess, I used to suspect you, so I should fight! I have lived in the mountains for a long time and my mind is confused. I don't know what you have done in the past, but I still questioned you rashly, which has caused you trouble." Prime Minister Song was sincere.

Xue Mei: "Sometimes I encounter new things and can't accept them. You are willing to come to the door to learn about it, rather than hiding in the government office and scolding me while not understanding."

Prime Minister of Song: "..."

"Thank you for your hard work these days," Xue Mei said again.

"So what if I can witness such a miracle and have enough food for the people of Liang State? The princess is really hard." said Prime Minister Song.

Xue Mei and him were kind to each other.

Next, Xue Mei did something unexpected.

She wanted to leave 10,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes that were harvested this year and give the rest to the court.

"...The imperial court does not have this cellar yet, so it will be stored there first. When the spring is coming next year, you can send someone to my place to get it." Xue Mei said to the Empress Dowager.

She suggested that the imperial court first cultivate seedlings, and then plant the vines for the people near the capital.

Because of the large number of land, each household planted half an acre of land, which was enough to let them taste the sweetness.

The court officials, the Empress Dowager and others agreed.

Just when everyone was happy about this, they suddenly heard that Xue Mei was going south.

She told the Empress Dowager with confidence: "I want to go back to my parents' home."

The Queen Mother: "You are a two-body person."

"It's okay, I'll take a boat." Xue Mei said, "Besides, the fetus is healthy and stable, let alone rushing, I'll have no problem running."

The Empress Dowager: "…"

Others didn't care much about Xue Mei's fetus, they only cared about her mother's family.

At this time, they suddenly realized that Xue Mei was named Princess Chengyang by the Emperor of Chu. What she said was "returning to her parents' home" was to go back to Chu.

She wanted to send 10,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes to Lingnan to Emperor Jianhong, and tell him that he was pregnant.

Xiao Jingcheng followed Xue Mei when it was not involved in national affairs, so they prepared the fleet, brought gifts, and wanted to go back to Chu.

Xue Mei also brought a heavy gift to her elder brother.

"I'll go too, anyway, I'm bored!" said the little prince.

He hurriedly relied on Xue Mei.

Xue Mei agreed.

The Empress Dowager knew that she could not stop it, so she was too lazy to stop it. She watched Xue Mei and Xiao Jingcheng escape.

Young people today.

The Empress Dowager felt very heartbroken when she thought that her grandson might have been born halfway, or she could not come back after a year and a half.

But what else can I do?
