"Li Xiu, I have to talk about you. Why don't you transport fresh sweet potatoes, but instead transport these dried sweet potatoes to the army? Look at how to eat these dried and hard ones? In contrast, fresh sweet potatoes are very sweet whether they are roasted or cooked. Even if they are eaten raw, they are crispy and sweet, ten thousand times better than this dried sweet potato. How do you think we eat them now?" It was getting late, and Tang Jian pointed to a small plate of dried sweet potatoes in front of him and complained to Li Xiu. .

"Mr. Tang, you can't blame me for this. Although fresh sweet potatoes are delicious, they are too troublesome to transport. They are afraid of cold and heat, and they are afraid of bumping and bumping. Otherwise, they will definitely rot halfway. In comparison, dried sweet potatoes are much more convenient and light in weight. As long as you don't touch water, it will be fine for storage for a few years. So don't think about fresh sweet potatoes. I can guarantee that you can't even find a piece of fresh sweet potato in the army!" Li Xiu said helplessly at this time. The food in the army was transported through his hands, so naturally no one knew better than him.

"But the military officer is too lazy, how can you let someone chew dried sweet potatoes every day? Not to mention anything else, an elderly man like me has bad teeth and can't chew such hard dried sweet potatoes!" Tang Jian complained again at this time. He is also almost sixty years old. He used to be pampered, but now he naturally cannot endure such hardship.

"Duke Tang, Master, why not give me the dried sweet potatoes and I'll make something!" At this moment, Yue Chan suddenly walked over with a smile and said, after a few days, her little face had also lost weight, which looked heartbreaking.

"That's great. Speaking of which, I really envy my husband. I was following such a beautiful beauty with superb cooking skills. I had been living for most of my life, but I had never met a woman as skillful as Yuechan." Tang Jian immediately said happily when he heard Yuechan's words. He knew that Yuechan's cooking skills were superb. No matter what kind of thing was treated by her skillful hands, the taste would be improved by several levels. Even at the moment of lack of supplies, Yuechan's craftsmanship seemed to be eye-catching.

Hearing Tang Jian's praise, Yue Chan couldn't help but smile shyly, and then took away the dried sweet potatoes in front of Li Xiu and Tang Jian. However, after Yue Chan left, Tang Jian looked at Li Xiu with a smile and said, "Mr. Prince Consort, even outsider, can see clearly the thoughts of this little girl Yue Chan, and she is your personal maid. It's rare that you haven't taken her as a concubine yet. It's so hard to believe. Is it because the princess is too strict?"

After eating so many beautiful things that Yuechan has made, Tang Jian was a little embarrassed, so he spoke for Yuechan today. However, Li Xiu smiled bitterly when he heard this, and then said helplessly: "Thank you, Mr. Tang, for worrying. I also know Yuechan's thoughts. In fact, the princess also supports me to take a concubine, but because of my own reasons, I can only feel wronged Yuechan for the time being."

Li Xiu was telling the truth. In fact, he liked Yue Chan very much, but he still couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart. Fortunately, after this trip, the relationship between him and Yue Chan became more intimate, but he still did not break through the last step.

Seeing Li Xiu unwilling to talk about Yuechan, Tang Jian shook his head helplessly. After getting along for this period of time, he also found that Li Xiu was very good in other aspects, but he was a little unrelaxed with the feelings of men and women. For example, after the great defeat of the Turkic Republic, many of them were seized in the army, many of which were selected by Jie Li from various tribes. The best of them naturally had to be dedicated to Li Shimin, and the rest were divided up by other generals. Even Tang Jian himself brought a pair of twin beauties, but Li Xiu didn't want one.

Of course, in addition to Li Xiu, there is another person in the army who is not a woman, that is, Li Jing, who controls the army. This is really similar to their father and son, but their father and son are in power. Thinking of this, Tang Jian couldn't help but smile a little playful.

After about half an hour, Li Xiu and Tang Jian felt the discomfort of Huoliao in their stomachs, as if they were about to digest their stomachs. But at this moment, Yue Chan suddenly came in with a small tray and then gently placed it in front of Li Xiu and Tang Jian. The things on the tray were two bowls of sweet sweet potato porridge, and two small plates that looked like French fries, sprinkled with pepper and salt, which smelled very fragrant.

"Master, because there are not many things, I cooked a little sweet potato porridge. I steamed the remaining dried sweet potatoes first and then cut them into small strips and roasted them on the fire. Then sprinkle them with freshly fried salt and pepper. The taste is pretty good. Master, please try it!" Yuechan smiled and introduced at this time. Although the food was handed over uniformly before, various seasonings were still kept and there was no shortage of fuel for the time being, which gave her the opportunity to show her skills.

Tang Jian was so hungry at this time that he picked up chopsticks and tasted the roasted sweet potato fries. He found that the outside was burnt and tender on the inside, and there was a hint of sweetness in the spicy food. This made him unable to help but praise: "It's delicious, so delicious, Li Xiu, try it too!"

Li Xiu was almost hungry at this time. He picked up the chopsticks and was about to eat them, but suddenly stopped again, then turned his head and stared at Yue Chan and said, "Where is yours, bring them over and eat them together!"

When Yuechan heard Li Xiu's words, he was a little shy, but he finally stood up and went out. After a while, he brought in a portion of sweet potato porridge and roasted sweet potato fries. Li Xiu saw that Yuechan was not less than him, so he nodded and then enjoyed his supper with Yuechan.

The reason why Li Xiu did this was because when he first started to supply food in quantity, Yue Chan, the silly girl, actually added his own portion of food to Li Xiu. Because the two of them ate exactly the same, Li Xiu didn't notice it at first, but it was not until later that he accidentally discovered it. This made him angry and scolded Yue Chan. Since then, Li Xiu had to watch Yue Chan eat the meal with his own eyes.

Although Yuechan is skilled in cooking, it is hard to cook without rice. Therefore, if the rice she made with dried sweet potatoes is not necessarily particularly delicious, it is just that Li Xiu and the others are too hungry, and their requirements for food taste have been reduced a lot, so they also eat very sweetly, and even think that this is the best sweet potato she has eaten in her life.

After dinner, the sky became dark. Tang Jian stood up and said goodbye. In order to save fuel, Li Xiu and the others fell asleep early, which could save energy. Especially when they had just finished their meal, their stomachs felt very fulfilled and allowed people to fall asleep faster. If they waited for a while, they would be very difficult to bear when the sweet potatoes were digested.

However, sweet potatoes are not hungry. Even if they fall asleep, they are easy to digest. Li Xiu is in his early twenties. Young people at this age have a very high appetite. In addition, the weather is cold, and the human body needs more calories. As a result, they don’t know how long they have been asleep, but Li Xiu was actually awakened by hunger.

When Li Xiu opened his eyes, he found that the tent was dark and quiet, but only Yue Chan's uniform breathing sound came, and there was no light coming in the gap in the tent. Needless to ask, it was known that the sky must have been dark, but Li Xiu was hungry and screaming, and in this quiet night it sounded like a drum.

Li Xiu lay on the blanket and forced himself to sleep, trying to force himself to sleep. As long as he fell asleep, he would not feel hungry. Unfortunately, he felt so hungry that he felt uncomfortable and had no sleepiness at all. Finally, he found that he couldn't sleep, so he got up quietly to avoid waking Yuechan up, and then put on his clothes and came out of the tent, intending to divert his attention.

The weather was good tonight, with a bright starry sky above his head, which looked like a piece of crystal inlaid with gems. It would be difficult to see such a pure night sky in later generations. If it were placed in normal times, Li Xiu would definitely appreciate the beautiful night sky, but the premise was that he could not be hungry. Now he was not in the mood to enjoy the night view?

Only when people are hungry can they truly realize the importance of the saying "food is the most important thing for people". When their stomachs are empty, their will will be impacted one after another, and their stomachs are more like a knife shave it all the time. Each knife will scrape off a piece of meat. The taste is even more torture than any torture.

Now Li Xiu still has some food to eat every day, but the feeling of hunger is so uncomfortable. Sometimes he also wonders what kind of torture should those victims who have completely cut off their food during the famine? No wonder every time they encounter famine, it is the most likely time for civil unrest. After all, people can do everything they eat in one bite when they are extremely hungry.

Fortunately, because of his appearance, the high-yield crops such as sweet potatoes and corn in America appeared in the Central Plains in advance. Now that the most powerful foreign enemies of the Tang Dynasty have been destroyed, it will definitely usher in a stronger prosperous era next. Li Xiu even wished that he could see earlier what kind of power will burst out after solving the most basic problem of eating, and where will history be brought?

Thinking about things in his mind, Li Xiu gradually couldn't feel the hunger in his stomach. However, the winter night was too cold. Li Xiu stood outside for a while but found that his feet were numb. At this time, the sky in the east was already slightly white. It seemed that it was getting bright. He didn't go back to his tent, so he just walked around the military camp. There were many patrol soldiers in the military camp. In comparison, they worked harder. Not only did they not have enough food every day, but they also had to patrol hungry.

Li Xiu walked around the military camp, and finally came to the vicinity of the camp gate without realizing it. At this time, the sun in the east had already revealed half of his face. Li Xiu probably would have to pay breakfast soon. Although he would definitely not be full, he would have to eat well, so he was ready to go back. However, at this moment, suddenly, there was a burst of rapid horse hooves coming from the camp gate, and then a group of people rushed in.
