Chapter 1093: Going to a Foreign Land, Two-Way Journey
"Come to Datang with the system ()"
"Eight stones per mu." Li Yi gave a number.
He was using the soup from the fried shredded potatoes to soak the rice. He added soy sauce, which left a lot of juice, and combined with the potato starch, it became a thicker soup.
Then add a few pieces of potato shreds and chili shreds, and put it in your mouth. It's the most fragrant.
The little guy sat there on a high stool, scooped out the soup with a larger spoon, took a sip, and then used a smaller spoon to scoop out some potato and eggplant stew, grinning as he ate.
"Eight stones?" Li Dan suddenly shouted, startling Li Tan who had just finished drawing a painting and came in, and the drawing paper fell to the ground.
"Wash your hands and come over to eat." Queen Wang told Li Tan.
Li Tan didn't know the situation. When he drew the picture at a key point, he said he would eat it later.
I just finished painting and came over to eat.
When he went to wash his hands, Li Yi and Li Dan introduced: "Eight stones, cultivate them well and the yield per mu will exceed thirty stones."
Li Yi pointed out that in Shaanxi at that time, one acre produced six to seven thousand kilograms of potatoes per year.
It is a specially cultivated variety, large.
In addition, Inner Mongolia and Gansu have high potato yields, as well as Heilongjiang. Heilongjiang potatoes are delicious, but later the varieties were changed and the taste is not good.
Now when I go to America to get potatoes, they should be uneven in size. The big ones can be as big as baseballs, and the smaller ones are ping pong balls and glass balls.
"I don't think about thirty stones for now, eight stones is definitely available." Li Yi promised.
If the yield is low, why does everyone grow it and keep cultivating new varieties?
In other places, potatoes are regarded as the staple food, so people at that time regarded potatoes as vegetables, and potato powder was not a normal meal.
"Potatoes can actually be roasted and eaten. Just light a fire, throw them in, control the heat, roast them, peel them and eat them. At most, you can dip them in some salt or sauce."
After Li Yi finished speaking, he hurriedly took a bite of food and said he was greedy.
"The fleet must be sent out next year. The people are waiting."
Concubine Doulu was anxious. She didn't expect such delicious food to be produced in such a high volume.
Li Yi nodded: "There are a lot of good things over there, gold and silver are secondary. Bring back all kinds of crops to meet the needs of the people..."
He introduced the American crop, kidney beans. The current kidney beans should be classified as kidney beans, which are large in size, rich in starch and low in yield.
But it's delicious, and the stew is the most fragrant.
In addition, corn is the best thing for making silage, especially for feeding cattle.
Corn seedlings, corn cobs, and corn kernels are made together into silage, which has good starch, protein, and fiber.
You can also break it off when it is immature and cook or roast it for chewing.
Sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes can be turned into vermicelli, roasted in winter, sweet and fragrant.
Li Yi said for a moment that everyone except the little guy, including Li Tan who was sitting there, stopped eating and listened together.
They began to yearn for that place. Like Li Yi, they didn't care about gold and silver.
Food is what the people need most. When the people have enough to eat, paper money will be printed and the people will accept it.
Datang often got things from outside, such as mare's milk grapes.
Now that there is new indica rice, plus other things, people who farm the land can eat endlessly.
"Everyone eats it. Next year, I will use the steam engine to bring out the coal.
I drew a map of the local area, indicating the locations of good open-pit coal mines and other mines.
Continue to make coal char locally and then come back. The speed is relatively fast and can be used together with the sail. "
Li Yi actually wanted to follow him. With him here, the team would not have any problems.
He is quite experienced in sailing on the sea. He used to have his own yacht.
Moreover, he can recognize everything wherever he goes. When others go out, he can only draw pictures of crops.
"When can I come back?" Queen Wang thought about the long journey.
Li Yi thought for a while and replied: "We need to establish a good relationship with the locals and teach them some things. We will leave in the spring next year and come back in the spring later."
"So fast?" Li Tan couldn't help but ask. After asking, he quickly lowered his head. He was not qualified to speak here.
"The main thing is to throw more boats, keep going east, and then go ashore. No, send two teams out, and the other team will go around from the west."
Li Yi considered the terrain and wanted to send people in two directions at the same time.
Because there is no Panama Canal, there is also no Suez Canal.
Those going west need to go around the African continent to see if they can make contact with Africans and bring back tropical fruit seeds, coffee and other things.
For example, in Ghana at that time, which was close to the seaside, there was miracle fruit. After eating it, other sour things would become sweeter.
"This will trouble Brother Yi." Li Longji believed what Li Yi said. Two is two.
For others, distant places are full of unknowns and contain many dangers.
It felt like to Yi Di, he already knew the complete plan.
I estimate that when I finish writing about the voyage, there will be information on what the place is like, what things are there, how to supply them, etc.
Then provide a tool to calculate the position at sea, and the fleet can just follow it.
The unexpected situation is a storm at sea, that depends on luck.
Princess Yongmu took care of the little guy, and also took care of Li Tan.
In the palace, if Princess Yongmu was nice to Li Tan and helped pick up some dishes during meals, Li Tan would fall out.
He thinks that others are pitying him and that he does not need help from others. UU reading www.uukanshu． net
For now, he will respond to his sister and follow her to take care of the little one.
He is confident that the injury on his face can be taken care of by brother Li Yi, no, brother-in-law, and brother-in-law is really powerful and knows everything.
Help the people live a good life, provide weapons and supplies to the soldiers at the front, and transport things in units of ten thousand strings each time.
Before a big battle is over, a million strings have been thrown out.
What if I get angry with my sister and she hits me? I can't beat her, and no one will help me.
The key is that I dare not fight back, and I will be beaten harder if I fight back.
"I don't want to eat anymore, I want soup." The little guy ate up the potatoes and eggplants in the big plate in front of him and didn't want it.
Li Tan pulled the plate down and brought the small soup bowl to his brother.
"Thank you, brother." The little guy wiped his mouth with the napkin on his neck and said thank you!
Others also have napkins, but they are not placed on their necks, but on their legs to prevent things from falling and dirtying their pants.
Another one is placed on the table to wipe their mouths.
The little guy's is a big napkin, which covers everything and can drop anything.
Of course, if the soup is spilled, you have to pick it up quickly to see if it is burned.
Concubine Dou Lu showed a loving look in her eyes. She likes the current atmosphere, eating as a family.
Li Dan exhaled comfortably and ate slowly. He felt that he was the most blessed person.
No more fear and intrigue. All problems seemed calm in Lijiazhuangzi.
No one dared to cause trouble in Lijiazhuangzi. There were no quarrels between couples in Lijiazhuangzi.
Lijiazhuangzi was lively on weekdays. You could find someone to play chess with and see a group of children running around.
"Tomorrow, Wentianlanxiang Pavilion will add new things to provide customers with more choices." Li Yi suddenly talked about the little things in life.
