As a sound of fiddling with Jikuo came from Bai Fan's hands, square wooden boxes were opened one by one, and everyone finally saw the true appearance of the so-called immortal grain.

"This thing is fairy grain?

It is indeed extraordinary, like a huge bean, but it is many times larger than the bean."

Li Erdang stepped forward first, took the things from one of the boxes, and spoke in surprise.

Everyone immediately followed and agreed, and what Your Majesty said was very true.

Bai Fan laughed and said, "Everyone, you are like you are deliberately flattering. You can't be deliberately praising Your Majesty.

In fact, its name is potato, which means beans growing in the soil. This potato can be planted at least five seedlings. Each seedling can usually harvest a lot of potatoes without caring about water and fertilizer."

Li Er laughed and scolded: "Boy, how many are there in a lot of them? If you say that, can this thing be so numerous that it can be countless?"

"It's not enough to count. If there is enough water and fertilizer, the water tank in our house may be able to produce half a tank. If the water and fertilizer are average, one can produce about ten potatoes of all sizes.

The advantage of this thing is that it is not picky about the land. Of course, if you eat a little bit of water, you can calculate it by calculating two potatoes per pound. Generally, a dozen potatoes will produce three to five pounds. Of course, those with special water and fertilizer are not counted. If you plant about two thousand potatoes per acre, do you calculate how much you get?”

The ministers began to exclaim that even if the average yield of each plant is two kilograms, it can still be collected 4,000 kilograms. Is it okay? Now the yield of wheat in the Tang Dynasty is between fifty and three hundred kilograms per mu. If it exceeds three hundred kilograms, it will be reported to the court. Local officials also have to pay homage to the sky to celebrate. The thing in front of me produces 4,000 kilograms per mu? Do you need to set up a water table for God?

However, there are also people who are not confused by appearances. Just like Li Jiancheng, who has been in business and money all year round, took the potatoes and asked, "Son-in-law, this thing should be different from the method of eating wheat. How does such a high yield taste?"

"Hahahaha, my father-in-law is still smart and deserves to be the chief financial officer of the Tang Dynasty.

This thing tastes good. It is good to eat when steamed or cooked. It can be processed into potato starch, vermicelli, etc. It is not a problem to be stored for a year or two, it is definitely a good thing.

In fact, what I know is that this thing is not used as a staple food except during the disaster year, and is generally only used as a dish. The potato dishes can be said to be varied and will definitely be popular among the people."

It was fine at first, but in the end, Li Jiancheng saw that his son-in-law actually treated this thing as a vegetable. He was really a waste of money and couldn't help but step forward and give Bai Fan, "Damn it, when the people are not full, are you still thinking about dishes? Are you still thinking about making money in the restaurant?"

...Bai Fan felt that he wasting his feelings, so he shouldn't tell these old guys that he should take a plate of steamed potatoes and earn their money in Wangjinglou.

Li Er smoothed out the scene and said, "Hahaha, very good, very good. One day, when the people of the Tang Dynasty get rid of hunger, it is when the potatoes become dishes."

"Your Majesty's wise!" This time, even Bai Fan felt that Li Er had vision.

"Jian Zhi, what is this thing bigger than potatoes? Judging from this, is it more productive than potatoes?" Li Yuanji asked in both hands holding a purple-red thing.

"Yes, this thing is called sweet potato. As the name suggests, it is a fruit and melon growing underground. However, it is grain, not fruit, it is similar to potatoes. The difference is that sweet potatoes can be planted for two seasons a year, while potatoes can only be planted for one season a year.

The yield of sweet potatoes is higher than that of potatoes, with a per mu yield of 6,000 jin up, and even the water and fertilizer production of intensive cultivation can reach a per mu yield of 10,000 jin."

"Ten thousand jin???"

A large area of ​​exclamation came, staring at the sweet potato in Li Yuanji's hand, and could no longer move her eyes. Li Yuanji was even more careful than before, and more careful than holding his own child, putting the sweet potato back into the box.

Bai Fan just wanted to laugh in his heart. This is the top group of people in the Tang Dynasty. Today, they all look like they have never seen the world. It's so funny.

"This sweet potato is sweet and is consumed similarly to potatoes. However, although this thing can satisfy your hunger, it cannot replace the staple food. It can only be used as mixed grains. If you eat this all day, you will have insufficient nutrition and physical problems. You should still eat it with wheat or rice."

"Well, it's enough. If the yield per mu is still staple food, it would be a good fortune. It would be a blessing to save disasters and save lives. In a major disaster, not to mention miscellaneous grains, even the bark of Guanyin soil cannot be eaten." Qin Qiong said.

Yes, it is precisely this reason. The average age of civil and military officials here is around fifty years old. They are all figures who have experienced more than one national famine. Even if they have never been hungry, they are used to the tragic things in the world.

Bai Fan walked to a box, reached out to grab a handful of golden particles, and said with a smile: "There is no need to be so pessimistic. Those two are mixed grains, but this one is a real staple food."

Xue Wanjun asked, "One of the two types is called potatoes and the other is called sweet potatoes. What is this called? Judging from its appearance, is it a sesame seed?"

Everyone laughed. This Xue Dadai is the same. Can this thing be compared? The two kinds of immortal grains were covered with mud on the outside, and they were obviously related to the land. This one obviously had no soil on its body, and its shape was similar to sesame. It could not be named like this.

Bai Fan smiled and said, "This thing has a very good name, called corn! Although it has a golden texture, it is as white as jade when it is not mature. In addition, its yield is amazing and it can be used as a staple food like rice, so it is called corn.

As for the output of this thing, it ranges from 800 to 1,200 kilograms, and the texture and texture are excellent.

But the disadvantage of this thing is that it is drought-tolerant and not flood-tolerant."

"What is this shortcoming? The Tang Dynasty is most afraid of drought, but not very afraid of flooding. This thing is simply a treasure." Fang Xuanling smiled.

Li Jiancheng urged: "Hurry up, son-in-law, these three are treasures, which are enough to solve the food and clothing problem of the people. There are so many boxes behind you, and there must be more good things. I can't help but want to appreciate them one by one. Even if I can't eat them, I just look at them and feel at ease."

"That's right, that's the reason." Li Er and his ministers agreed.

Bai Fan glanced at his father-in-law speechlessly. He was really greedy. How many kinds of life-saving food can there be in the world? Humph, isn't greedy enough? Then I'll give you a good thing to try.

Bai Fan agreed and said, "Okay, okay, father-in-law, don't panic. In fact, there are so many good things here that cannot be eaten. Some things can still be tasted. I'll show you."

He came to the last few boxes, looked at the numbering signs, Bai Fan opened it, took out a small thick bag, reached out to take out a bright red finger-sized thing from it, then cut off the tail, poured some yellow particles inside back into the bag, and handed the red shell towards Li Jiancheng.

"This is the son-in-law's favorite ingredient, called Yizhihong, which is definitely a delicious food in the world and is unique. Even if you don't need to cook, you can eat it directly in this way and make it unforgettable for your life. Father-in-law, try it, let alone those who are son-in-law don't know how to be filial." Bai Fan said very seriously.

Li Jiancheng rubbed his hands and said, "How can you be so embarrassed? It's not good or bad. You can't affect your breeding just because of my little curiosity."

"It's okay, this thing is the yellow particles inside. The son-in-law has taken it out and preserved it, so it won't delay breeding."
