In the Tai Chi Hall, everyone was stunned when they heard Luo Zhang's words.

What does it mean to turn potatoes into another food that can also be used as a staple food? This is not a lie he made up to shirk responsibility, right?

Seeing everyone's confused expressions, Luo Zhang smiled and said: "Just like rice can be ground into flour, and flour can be made into steamed buns, I just pureed the potatoes and soaked them in water to make a kind of

The things settle and then become potato flour. Potato flour can not only be stored for a long time, but can also be made into a kind of food called vermicelli. Vermicelli can also be stored for a long time. It is like noodles and can be eaten after being boiled in water! "

After Luo Zhang's explanation, everyone nodded slightly and understood what Luo Zhang said about turning it into another kind of food. After all, everyone knows about flour, and steamed buns are made of flour, and some people like it very much.

eat.

If potatoes can really be turned into the so-called potato flour and vermicelli, then do you still have to worry about the problem of too many potatoes?

"Hahaha, Luo Zhang, I knew you wouldn't let me down. Yes, you have created another food for our Tang Dynasty!" Li Shimin smiled and praised after hearing this.

The expressions of the group of people who had just accused Luo Zhang changed slightly. They were slapped in the face too quickly. They were slapped on the spot.

Changsun Wuji looked a little ugly. He did not expect that Luo Zhang could fight back under such circumstances. Of course, it was impossible for him to surrender.

Under the signal from his eyes, Zhongshu Ling Ma Zhou, one of the few people who had just slandered Luo Zhang, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, this is just one-sided words of Luo Zhang and cannot be confirmed. If he is talking nonsense to offend him, this

But the crime of deceiving the emperor should be punished according to the law!"

Ma Zhou's eyes were stern, as if Luo Zhang had done something outrageous and outrageous. The acting was done well, but in Luo Zhang's opinion, the acting was a bit too much.

"Since Mr. Ma said so, why don't I cover it up for everyone in front of this hall?" Luo Zhang said confidently.

After hearing this, Ma Zhou's expression changed. He dared to test on the spot. What does this mean? It means that he did not lie, and what does it mean that Luo Zhang did not lie? It means that he is slandering Luo Zhang.

Thinking of the tragic situation where the Minister of Civil Affairs was dragged down just now, Ma Zhou's face changed slightly and said: "I am just stating the facts. I don't want Your Majesty to be deceived. If you can really make the potato flour and vermicelli you mentioned, I will apologize to you."

Apologize!"

Ma Zhou's words aroused the contempt of many people. This was to give himself a higher level. No matter whether Luo Zhang did it or not, he would be fine. He was really smart.

Luo Zhang had heard a bit about Ma Zhou. If Luo Zhang remembered correctly, his official position was as high as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. At present, it seems that he was supported by Changsun Wuji.

Of course, it is inseparable from the fact that Ma Zhou himself has some talents. Otherwise, even if Changsun Wuji supports him, His Majesty will not recognize him. However, he died in his forties. If he had not died, he should have been able to achieve a higher level.

Position.

Regarding what Ma Zhou said, Luo Zhang just smiled. He didn't bother to say anything more about this kind of wallflower. He would wait for him to take out something and see what he had to say about it.

After Luo Zhang agreed to the matter, he couldn't help but look up at Changsun Wuji in front of him, with a sneer on his lips.

How could Luo Zhang not know that Ma Zhou was a henchman sent by Changsun Wuji, but this time Luo Zhang was afraid that he would disappoint Changsun Wuji.

Under Luo Zhang's instructions, the father-in-law went to the imperial study room and got some wooden barrels, and also brought some cotton cloth, wooden sticks, chopping boards, knives, water, and washed potatoes.

Everyone no longer cares about etiquette, they gathered around Luo Zhang and watched how Luo Zhang acted. This is a skill. If what Luo Zhang said is true, they can also learn it.

Nowadays, who doesn’t have tens of thousands of pounds of potatoes? If you learn how to do it, you can turn those extra potatoes into potato flour for storage. It’s a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.

Of course, if Luo Zhang was lying, they would also be witnesses, not to mention adding insult to injury.

Luo Zhang didn't pay attention to the people around him. Instead, he picked up the washed potatoes and put them on the chopping board, cut them into shreds with a knife, then beat them repeatedly with a wooden stick until they became pureed, and wrapped them in clean cotton cloth.

Got up.

Then tie the mouth, put it into clean water, and crush it repeatedly to squeeze out the potato water from the mashed potatoes wrapped in cotton cloth, which contains starch.

After crushing, Luo Zhang didn't stop until the water turned white and the mashed potatoes wrapped in cotton cloth were as clear as water when poured with water.

Seeing the water in the barrel turn white, Luo Zhang nodded with satisfaction.

He took out a clean wooden barrel and covered it with a layer of cotton. It was said that it would be best to cover it with gauze, but there was no such thing in this era, so Luo Zhang had to temporarily replace it with cotton. Although the effect was not as good as gauze, the effect was still the same.

too much.

After covering it with cotton cloth, Luo Zhang slowly poured the potato water from the previous wooden bucket into the wooden bucket covered with cotton cloth.

After the water was poured out, there was a layer of white mud on the cotton cloth!

Luo Zhang did not stop. He changed the barrel and poured the potato water into a new barrel covered with cotton cloth.

As a result, there was again a layer of white mud on the cotton cloth.

Seeing this, Luo Zhang mixed the mud on the two cotton cloths together, examined them carefully, and then nodded with satisfaction.

Instead of taking care of the wooden barrels and other items in front of the hall, he walked to the front of the hall holding the cotton cloth and said: "Your Majesty, please see, this is potato powder!"

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, suspicious in his heart. Before Li Shimin could speak, Ma Zhou, who was just watching from the side, started laughing.

"Luo Zhang, how dare you deceive His Majesty and say that you have not committed the crime of deceiving the emperor?"

Luo Zhang looked up at Ma Zhou and said, "Why do you say that I deceived His Majesty? I committed the crime of deceiving the emperor?"

"You said potato flour, but look what you have in your hand. It's like mud. This is potato flour? It's the same thing as flour? Do you really think I don't understand anything?" Ma Zhou scolded Luo Zhang.

"Ignorant person, I really don't know how you managed to get into the position of Supreme Secretary. You don't understand anything, so you just talk nonsense in front of the palace!" Luo Zhang shook his head and mocked.

"You!!! You're talking nonsense!" Ma Zhou blushed when Luo Zhang said it.

"Am I talking nonsense? Then why do you say this is not potato flour? This thing only needs to be dried for one day, and when it dries, it will be potato flour. But today is too late, and the truth will be revealed tomorrow!" Luo Zhang refuted!

Riding the horse, Zhou Dao.

"Luo Zhang, are you telling the truth? If it's a lie, I can't spare you!" Li Shimin seemed to have a normal expression, but everyone knew that His Majesty was a little angry, and the object of his anger was not Luo Zhang, but Ma Zhou.
