Chapter 599 Where does the sour taste come from?(1/2)
"Today, we brought back tens of thousands of kilograms of sweet potatoes and potatoes from the barbarians' small town. Tonight, everyone can eat one sweet potato and one potato!"
Li Xuan said.
"Eat sweet potatoes and potatoes?"
After hearing this, Xue Rengui, Cheng Chusi and others were happy again.
But soon, he looked embarrassed again.
"King, I don't know how to eat sweet potatoes and potatoes!"
"This place is simple, and sweet potatoes and potatoes can only be steamed and roasted! In this way, steam half first, and then roast half later! In this way, it's okay for two people to eat!"
Li Xuan thought for a moment and then said.
"Yes, king!"
Xue Rengui quickly bowed and replied.
Then, the arrangements continued.
Soon, on the shore, piles of fires were lit, and all the soldiers began to bury the pot and cook.
This time, considering that it took a long time to go out to sea, Li Xuan prepared all kinds of daily necessities very well.
Especially the iron pot, more than 600 were prepared.
Soon, the strong smell of rice drifted across the beach.
Steamed sweet potatoes, steamed potatoes, rice, and unknown broth. Each person also has a small plate of pickles, placed on the ground.
However, no one took action this time, but stared at Li Xuan blankly.
"Why do you keep watching me but don't eat?"
Li Xuan asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Hehe, Master, you eat first!"
Cheng Chusi said with anticipation.
"I'll eat first?"
Li Xuan was stunned again and glared at Cheng Chusi in anger, "If you have something to do, just say it, if you have farts, why are you so lazy today?"
"Hehe, Master, I'm waiting for the first time to eat sweet potatoes and potatoes, I don't know how to eat them!"
Li Baoding, who was standing beside him, quickly explained.
Everyone around nodded repeatedly.
"I see!"
Li Xuan chuckled, picked up a sweet potato and said, "Like sweet potatoes and potatoes, just open their mouths and bite them. As for the skins of sweet potatoes and potatoes, it's okay to just wash them clean and tighten your stomach. Of course, if you don't like eating skins, you can peel them off with your hands!"
At the same time, Li Xuan had already picked up the peeled sweet potato and took a light bite.
"hiss……"
I couldn't help but sigh.
Finally, he ate the sweet potato again.
Unfortunately, it was not steamed with sweet potatoes that had just been dug out of the ground, otherwise it would have been sweeter.
At this time, there were also a "hiss" exhalation sounds around the entire camp.
Everyone chewed in surprise on their faces and exhaled repeatedly.
There were even some soldiers trembling all over their bodies with excitement!
They have never eaten such a sweet food.
After eating, I couldn't help but pick up the sweet potato skin that fell on the ground, pulled it twice, then stuffed it into my mouth, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion on my face.
"As long as you can bring this delicious food back to the Tang Dynasty, let alone come here, even if we explain everything here, it will be worth it!"
After taking the first bite of sweet potato, Cheng Chusi, Li Chengqian and others immediately felt like they were reincarnated as if they were starving ghosts, and they wanted to stuff the whole sweet potato into their stomachs in one bite.
After finishing the meal, Cheng Chusiyang and others also looked emotional.
"Teacher, why are sweet potatoes so sweet? So soft and glutinous?"
"It's even more delicious than the glutinous rice cakes in Master's house!"
At the same time, I couldn't help but look at the sweet potatoes and potatoes buried in the fire.
"Teacher, what will the sweet potatoes and potatoes burned from the fire taste?"
"It tastes different, and it's even better!"
Li Xuan said with emotion.
Hearing this, Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and others couldn't help but subconsciously swallowed.
"real?"
"When did I fool you and others?"
Li Xuan snorted lightly, "Also, I don't know that the food made with chili, especially barbecue and stir-frying, is even more delicious. But the place is now simple, with only a few iron pots, alas!"
"Teacher, I will go back to the Tang Dynasty tomorrow!"
Cheng Chusi said hurriedly.
"I'll go back tomorrow?"
Li Xuan sneered, "So many rivers and so much gold, are you not going to fish for it?"
"Hehe, Master, gold is something outside of our body, and we are no longer short of it at home."
Cheng Chusi's face turned red and he hurriedly said, "Besides, I came here this time to look for sweet potatoes, potatoes, and peppers.
Since I have found it, I should go back quickly and plant all the sweet potatoes and potatoes in the fields where I am waiting for is the biggest thing!"
"The most important thing is that you can eat sweet potatoes every day!"
Li Xuan said with contempt.
"Hehe, the Master knows me best."
Cheng Chusi had a thick face and smiled without caring at all.
"Teacher, I want to go back too!"
On the side, Li Chongyi, Li Baoding and others also nodded repeatedly and said.
Before Li Xuan could speak, the guards and soldiers around him also followed with anticipation.
"Master, I want to go back too!"
"That's right, the sweet potatoes and potatoes look not easy to preserve. I also want to go back early and plant them in my own fields to be at ease!"
"Since you all want to go back early, then have a good meal tonight. We will set off for the Tang Dynasty early tomorrow morning!"
Li Xuan said.
"As for those golds, keep them here for the time being. Come and get them again in the future!"
"Thank you, Master!"
"The king is wise!"
After hearing this, everyone was full of gratitude.
Everyone quickly lowered their heads and started eating.
Then, wait until after dinner.
The sweet potatoes and potatoes in the fire on the ground were also roasted.
So, there was another sound of breathing in the entire camp.
All night was still nothing.
The next day, early in the morning, everyone got up early.
Li Xuan once again asked the soldiers to fill more than a dozen boxes of soil on each boat.
Then, let the soldiers plant sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, peppers and pumpkins on those boxes.
Immediately, the entire fleet set off again.
Return the same way!
This time, everyone was full of anxiousness.
After starting to set off, Li Xuan finally had time and began to sort out the things that the soldiers brought back to the ship.
There is no need to say about gold, just put it aside.
Sweet potatoes and potatoes must be picked out all the wounds or rotten ones, either plant the land or eat them quickly.
As for peppers and corn, it is enough to dry it.
