In about three days, the goods from the Yu family in Yangzhou arrived at the gate of the general''s house. Boxes of goods were unloaded from the carriage. In order to prevent collision, shockproof straw bags were padded around.


    The sky was clear and the morning breeze was gentle. When I opened the box, there were vegetables, potatoes and tomatoes that had never appeared in China. In short, the well-informed Princess and Li Wanqing were very excited.


    "What''s this? It''s like a red agate." Li Wanqing took out a red tomato. Her face was excited. It was red and juicy. It was so cute that she even rubbed it gently on her cheek.


    "Can this thing be eaten?" Princess Changle studied curiously holding a potato, just like looking at the jewelry in tribute before.


    Even the son of Princess Changle, who has just learned to walk this year, is babbling with a golden corn.


    In short, like boxes of jewelry salvaged from an undersea shipwreck, the general''s family is surrounded by these fruits and vegetables, both curious and fond.


    "If you eat this thing, you won''t get food poisoning?" the back kitchen looked at it carefully with a potato.


    "Otherwise, we''ll have these at noon and have a foreign meat dish," Tang Hao said.


    The servants dare not try. Then the master will come first.


    With decades of experience in cooking and seasoning, the back kitchen has carefully cooked dishes with these overseas vegetables: boiled corn, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, potatoes and beef...


    "As long as you are under my kitchen knife, there are no failed vegetables. As long as you are under my spoon, everything is possible." like master Tang Hao, the chef of the general''s house is full of confidence, although these vegetables are only met for the first time.


    Potatoes and beef are the most popular. The potatoes with powdered noodles have a strong taste with the smell of beef. Princess Changle, who has always paid attention to maintaining her figure, ate several pieces of meat and potatoes and was full of praise.


    Li Wanqing likes scrambled eggs with tomatoes. They are sour and sweet.


    Of course, when Tang Hao enjoys delicious food, he considers the economic value of these vegetables, especially when eating potatoes.


    In modern times, French fries and chips are necessary for chasing drama, but this is in the distant Tang Dynasty. Filling your stomach is the first big thing. Potatoes can be both vegetables and staple food. Tang Hao''s intelligent brain is running at full speed.


    According to the sailors on the ship, potatoes can grow in the sand. Compared with rice, which needs fertile soil, this crop is really easy to feed.


    Moreover, fortunately, a planting manual was attached at the bottom of the box, which should be recorded by the boss of the Yu family according to the dictation of the sailor.


    Or Yangzhou Yu family is really a treasure house with good service attitude.


    There''s just a piece of sand in the backyard. Why don''t you try planting it first? Tang Hao remembers that potatoes are winter crops and all other tomatoes have to be dried after the new year.


    First let Wu Tong prepare plant ash and manure, which are basically available to every family in the countryside. Wu Tong casually found a home and took as much as he wanted for five copper coins.


    Then find a small piece of land with plenty of sunshine and good drainage in the backyard, dig a pit, lay Wutong, and look for good base fertilizer. Looking at the officials working in the field, the two women murmured in their hearts that this thing is unreliable.


    Tang Hao cut a potato into several small pieces. According to the instructions, he deliberately left a few bud eyes, and then buried them. Each potato is about a slap wide.


    In the first few days, don''t rush to water. After seven days, start watering.


    After a busy day''s work and going to bed, Tang Hao felt sore back, but Tang Hao was happy and slept in Li Wanqing''s room tonight.


    For the first time, Li Wanqing pinched Tang Hao''s shoulder like a little sweet cat.


    "Last time my mother said, let''s have our own children." Tang Hao said with a red face.


    "Oh, she''s worried." Li Wanqing answered, "sister Changle has already had a child. Now our family is very happy."


    Li Wanqing is lively. She always looks like a hot wind before she gets married. It''s really difficult for her to meet her husband and teach her children quietly for a while and a half.


    The potatoes sown by Tang Hao are expected to germinate and bear fruit quickly and can be planted on the land of Datang.


    During the war, Tang Hao led his army through the hills and sandy areas, where rice and wheat crops were not suitable for growth and were sparsely populated. Even if he met several families, he had to leave his hometown as long as it was a famine.


    If their potato planting experiment is successful, Datang''s limited land will be able to feed more people. In famine years, some areas will not be full of starvation victims.


    At the thought of this, Tang Hao felt that he was doing a great thing, something that had nothing to do with awards, fame and wealth, and something close to his heart.


    Go to bed. It''s getting late. I''ve worked hard during this period. Fortunately, things have finally achieved satisfactory results. If the weather is good tomorrow, I''ll take my wife and son out for a walk.


    But why do you always feel uneasy in your heart? You always have a hunch that you seem to meet someone and something. After blowing out the candle, Tang Hao touched his chest.


    He didn''t do anything wrong. Why bother? He turned over and fell asleep with Li Wanqing in his arms.
