Chapter 211 The wonderful unknown world (1)
The dinner place was a bit simple. After all, the lobby had not been built yet, so I just set up a tent in the reservation yard and then set up a table and chairs to use it as a canteen.
This is still the owner's treatment. The chef and the servants are on standby in the kitchen, and the more they do are only the chefs. The contract for selling has been signed. As the five servants in the family, the chefs are responsible for their meals.
It doesn’t need to be too complicated tonight. After all, there is enough sweet potato porridge, so it is absolutely enough. Adding a small plate of pickles is actually enough. For those refugees who have fallen to the point of selling themselves, they can eat enough, and they really don’t pick on how good or bad the food is.
"The environment here is a bit..." Cao Ren looked over all the way and couldn't help but say something when he sat down.
"It's good to live at this stage!" Xun Yu had to take into account Wang Yong's face issue. "Anyway, the construction will be almost completed in two months. The lord will come over and come over for a banquet together, just right!"
"Wuyou said that food called 'hot pot' will be launched at that time, and I don't know how it tastes?" Cao Ren obviously regarded hot pot as a food, mainly because Wang Yong took it out of the pot earlier.
"It's not another kind of pasta, right? Since it's linked to the fire, I'll probably use chili peppers... I can't imagine it!" A piece of pasta covered with hot sauce appeared in Xun Yu's head at this moment, and then he threw this idea out of his mind.
Thinking back to the time, she was reluctant to eat Guokui, so she naturally didn't want to eat such a dough. At the same time, she also knew that the so-called hot pot should not be that simple.
"It's time to eat!" Wang Yong happened to come over and brought a pot of soup, which was corn rib soup!
"So, what exactly is hot pot?" Cao Ren took the opportunity to ask.
"Shouldn't you be asking what kind of soup this pot is?" Wang Yong was choked and almost wanted to introduce the soup.
"Compared with this pot of soup, what is better for me is what hot pot is. After all, you can't just have one dish for a dinner, right?" Cao Ren said directly what she thought.
"One dish? Of course it cannot be a dish. Hotpot is a way to eat, but it definitely does not refer to a certain type of food!" Wang Yong shook his head, but he had no intention of mocking him. After all, he was an ancient person who had never seen hotpot.
"Citin Dou?" Xun Yu thought for a while and said a word.
"Similar, slightly different in shape!" Wang Yong also asked Wenming a little. Since the Han Dynasty, there was a prototype similar to hot pot, which was called a cone bucket. However, it is not so much a hot pot as a container used to keep the temperature of the dishes.
The Three Kingdoms records a utensil called "Five Cooks" which should be considered an early hot pot. It can be seen that the food of hot pot actually had its prototype in the Han Dynasty, but it has not been improved yet.
"I have to cook it myself?" Cao Ren probably guessed it.
"If you want to swish the pot, you have to do it yourself, but for ordinary hot pot, you can boil whatever you want." Wang Yong explained a little. There are many ways to eat hot pot from Chinese to Japanese. However, since you already have chili peppers, Yuanyang hot pot is obviously a good choice.
"Why does it sound like this thing looks like in many kinds?" Cao Ren asked in surprise.
"So, please stay tuned!" Wang Yong did not intend to continue this topic, "The previous soup was pork rib corn soup. This corn is sweet corn and has a strong sweetness. In fact, when I first picked it, I could eat it as a fruit directly!"
This is not a lie. For the sake of good health, Wang Yong specially bought this fruit and corn and cooked it once a week to eat it. He ate it raw when he was lazy. Otherwise, he would eat it as a corn juice. Generally speaking, one day of the week, he would eat this thing as dinner to reduce the oil in his body.
Yes, since he found out that he became an anchor and his weight suddenly increased by twenty kilograms...
"Carrots, pork ribs, so this is that corn? How is the yield?" Xun Yu looked at the ingredients in the soup basin, then looked at Wang Yong and asked.
"The largest local output seems to be about 36 stones per acre, but considering the north and other factors, it is not a problem to have ten stones!" Wang Yong replied.
"Ten stones!?" Everyone exclaimed when they heard this. As for Wang Yong's so-called thirty-six stones, they were directly ignored. You should know that in these days, in terms of corn, fertile fields produce three stones per mu, and about one stone under the field. The yield per mu in the south is about 2.77 stones, and two seasons a year, it is only less than six stones.
The output of ten stones in one breath is simply a fantasy for Xun Yu and others.
"If it cannot reach this level, do you think Wanshiwu will be so excited?" Wang Yong asked back. Indeed, if it weren't for such a large output, the other party would not pay so much attention to it, and even promoted him to a Class B membership.
"With this crop, the people in the world will no longer be famine!" Hua Tuo said with relief.
"How does it taste, you have to try it!" Relatively speaking, Xun Yu hopes to know how it tastes. Especially when I heard it just now, Wang Yong called it "sweet corn"!
"Everything!" Wang Yong scooped a bowl for everyone and handed it over directly.
"It smells very sweet..." Xun Yu sniffed it, then scooped a spoonful and put it in his mouth. The soup was sweet, and the fat and salt smell produced by the ribs and salt were further highlighted.
Although the sweetness of carrots cannot be ignored, the sweetness of corn is a different feeling. Xun Yu scooped up a piece of corn and put it in his mouth and bit it. Perhaps it was too hard, but he bit the core inside and felt that his teeth were so painful.
"Be careful, all you can eat is the corn kernels outside, and the corn core inside cannot be eaten! But after drying, you can use it as firewood!" Wang Yong reminded.
"This should have been said earlier..." Xun Yu pouted and then took a mouthful again. This time he didn't dare to have such a big mouthful, but he just bit it on the outside. The corn kernels cracked because of the bite of teeth, and the corn juice splashed out, and the mouth was sweet.
"It's so sweet and the taste is good. Is this the taste of corn?" Xun Yu's eyes suddenly shined, and he obviously liked the taste very much.
"Very unique and very delicious!" Cao Ren also started to taste it. "This soup is really good as an appetizing soup and it tastes very comfortable. The key is that the whole stomach has completely woken up."
"Since that's the case, then the side dishes can be served!" Wang Yong immediately gave an order when he heard this.
Soon, the servant brought up a pot of potatoes. There seemed to be some sticky things in the cracked hole.
"What a smell, what is this?" Cao Ren looked at the potatoes. She dared to swear that she had never seen this kind of ingredient before. In this way, it should be a high-yield crop.
