Chapter 3015 Yinshang Mainland Agricultural Products Expo and Food Appreciation
Whether it is Li Shimin or other important civil and military officials, their breakfast today is all potatoes, corn and pumpkin.
After a delicious meal, the monarch and his ministers gathered together and headed straight to the place of shame where they were drunk yesterday.
Of course, it is not to remember yesterday, but to appreciate those high-yielding and high-quality crops and look forward to a better tomorrow.
With the arrival of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Cheng Sanlang specially took the sickle and respectfully handed it to his father-in-law, asking him to make the first sickle.
After all, a sense of ritual still needs to be present, even if these crops are from outsiders.
Anyway, after thinking about it, the first thing to solve is naturally the potatoes that have reached the harvest season. After all, everyone is looking forward to the potato yield per acre.
Cheng Sanlang felt that if he forced the scene any longer, he would probably be beaten up by his father-in-law and his group, who were well fed, drank and slept well.
Of course, while potatoes were being harvested, it did not prevent Cheng Sanlang from continuing to show other good treasures to his father-in-law and a group of important civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty.
At this moment, Cheng Sanlang asked someone to bring a transparent glass bottle of grease.
"My father-in-law, this is oil squeezed from peanuts. Smell this..."
After Cheng Sanlang opened the bottle of oil, a strong aroma of peanuts immediately hit his nostrils, which was refreshing.
"Can these peanuts be used to extract oil?" Ma Zhou, who drank too much yesterday and was still a little dizzy today, couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, Ma Xiang. Moreover, the oil yield of peanuts is higher than that of rapeseed. The oil yield is as high as 40%..."
"And its oil has a rich aroma, which is very suitable for seasoning just like sesame oil. Moreover, due to its large output and high oil yield, it can also be used in large quantities for cooking."
"There is also this, come on, come on, father-in-law, and everyone, please grab a handful. Don't worry, these sunflower seeds are all spiced sunflower seeds that have been fried."
"Even though it looks dark, it tastes great. What's more important is that it's very easy to eat, and it's most suitable for snacks. You see, people like me..."
Cheng Chubi showed how to eat melon seeds in public, cracking open the skin of melon seeds and grinding the kernels directly between his teeth.
Li Shimin also followed suit, and immediately felt that this thing was indeed interesting, with a typical nutty taste, but it was so small.
But it is very easy to crack open, even if the cracked melon seed peel is left in the mouth, then when you blow it, the melon seed peel will fly away, and the fragrant melon seed kernel will remain in the mouth.
In a short time, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and a group of famous officials and generals of the Tang Dynasty grabbed a handful of melon seeds with one hand and stuffed them into their mouths with the other hand.
Those who are good at smacking the melon seeds will open them up and skim off the melon seed peels. Those who are not good at chewing melon seeds will pop them up and pop out their mouths, and the melon seed peels will be sprayed out in an instant.
Li Shimin was eating melon seeds while looking at the fields below where they were being harvested. Unknowingly, he had already cracked two handfuls of melon seeds.
It wasn't until his mouth felt a little dry and the ground in front of him was covered with melon seed peels that Li Shimin reluctantly let go of his hand.
"This is really a good snack. It's very convenient to eat. The shortbread I ate yesterday was made with sunflower seeds as the auxiliary rice?"
"Exactly..." Cheng Sanlang nodded, raised his head and pointed to the side.
"My father-in-law, let's go over there. There are many agricultural products made from the crops of the Yin and Shang Continent..."
At this time, his men finally placed all the agricultural products on the long table for the emperors and ministers of the Tang Dynasty to visit and taste.
For example, the fragrant Erba sauce made with sesame and peanuts is a must-have for northerners when it comes to shabu-shabu.
Of course, various agricultural products made from pumpkin are also indispensable, especially pumpkin seeds, which can also be used as snacks.
However, compared to knocking sunflower seeds, one must be at the Black Iron level to successfully crack pumpkin seeds. However, to knock pumpkin seeds, you need at least a Silver or even Gold level melon seed-eating veteran.
Furthermore, although the pumpkin yield per mu in Liaodong is only eight or nine hundred kilograms, the chief priest Suo Guishang told Cheng Sanlang that in their hot Yinzhaka tribe, the pumpkin yield was at least two thousand kilograms.
Of course Cheng Sanlang believed this, because in later generations, the output of pumpkins was so high that it was outrageous.
Therefore, the output in the north is not high, so Cheng Sanlang is not in a hurry, as long as he can survive, not to mention pumpkins are very durable for storage. Especially fully mature old pumpkins, there will be no problem if they are placed in the kiln for a year.
The important thing is that its yield per acre is eight to nine hundred kilograms. It can be used as a vegetable or to satisfy hunger. It is also sweet and the various kinds of food made from it are also very popular.
Then there is corn, which can be used as a staple food. Similarly, if you want to use it as feed, you can directly plant it in a dense planting method.
Moreover, by harvesting and crushing it when it is still green, you can get extremely high yield per mu and extremely perfect silage, which is great for feeding cattle and sheep.
As for tomatoes, there is no need to mention them. Of course there is no problem in eating tomatoes fresh, but there are also ways to store them.
In the beautiful Southwest, I like to use jars to pickle various tomato sauces. As long as they are stored properly, they can be guaranteed to last for more than half a year.

In addition, the Western-style tomato sauce making method can also preserve the tomato sauce for a long time.
In addition, such wonderful treasures as chili peppers were finally displayed in front of people's eyes by Cheng Sanlang.
Chili pepper is the king of seasonings in Cheng Sanlang's eyes, the soul of hot pot, the essence of Chongqing noodles, and an indispensable ingredient for various southwestern cuisines.
All barbecue stalls without a plate of cumin or chili noodles are all improper barbecue stalls.
#####
In particular, the several kinds of chili noodles carefully prepared by Cheng Sanlang were highly praised by the emperors and ministers of the Tang Dynasty who were present.
Sort from super spicy, to extra spicy, heavy spicy, medium spicy, low spicy, mild spicy.
After all, Cheng Sanlang is very kind and understands that the Chinese nation and region have different understandings of spiciness.
Just like when you are in Guangdong, if you say you want spicy food, the boss may cut a sweet pepper or a bell pepper for you. After all, these traitors of pepper rings can only survive in Guangdong and Guangxi.
If you go to Guizhou or Chongqing and you say you feel uncomfortable in your stomach, eat less spicy chicken today.
The boss will very considerately reduce the amount of chili peppers originally put into the pot by one-third.
However, the vast majority of chefs will tell you directly that there is no way to rinse it with boiled water yourself and want me to cook for you and cut off the chili pepper!
Well, let's get down to business, Cheng Sanlang made these chili noodles based on people's different tastes.
Of course, they wouldn't let these royal family members stick out their tongues and lick the chili peppers in front of everyone.
Even if the other party can manipulate his tongue, Cheng Sanlang can't stand it, so the simplest way is.
Prepare some mutton skewers grilled using these chili noodles, and the spiciness of various mutton skewers is indicated.
It's just a good time to give these young and old men a toothpaste and fill their bellies. After all, it will take some time to harvest the potatoes.
Sure enough, this method immediately received high praise from a group of elders, especially these cunning elders. After tasting the mutton skewers with chili noodles, they became addicted.
Watching my father-in-law sighing while eating, he picked up the chilled goat's milk from the side and took several mouthfuls. He couldn't help but pick up another one. How is this kind of eating different from the foodies of later generations?
While they were eating here, there was finally movement over there. The potatoes from three acres of land were finally harvested...
At this moment, the chief priest of the Yinzhaka tribe, dressed in the traditional Yinzhaka attire and covered with bird feathers, asked Gui Shang, Ao Guanhai and others to wait.
At this moment, I was in a corner, waiting for the signal with great anxiety.
In the words of Governor Cheng, it is not a good thing for people like me to show up too early.
After all, only after the good treasures that your Yin Zhaka tribe contributed to the Tang Dynasty are enjoyed by the emperors and ministers of the Tang Dynasty, will the rewards you receive be even more generous.
