Although there is nothing too special about how to make mashed potatoes, you have to remember that this was in the Ming Dynasty!
This unique and exotic delicacy is bound to be very popular.
Hu Changan looked at the expectant eyes of several chefs, and said with a smile: "The secret book is really nothing, but my cooking method is a little special. If your majesty thinks it tastes good, you can also
You can do it often.”
When several chefs heard this, they didn't believe it at all. They just thought Hu Changan was being modest.
It’s so delicious, and you’re saying there’s no secret?
I don’t even believe in ghosts.
But this was his unique recipe after all, so they didn't say anything. They just made up their minds to take a good look at it when Hu Changan cooked other dishes!
With the help of several chefs, Hu Changan soon made a lot of delicious food using potatoes.
There are everything from vinegar-coated potato shreds, potato pancakes, potato stewed chicken, etc.
Hu Changan looked at the dishes on the table, wiped his sweat happily, and ordered the palace servants to bring over the potato feast.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang and the others had dug out all the potatoes in the potato field.
At this time, the little eunuch who was weighing finally counted the weight of all the potatoes.
"Your Majesty, a total of twenty-nine stones of potatoes have been produced in this field!"
What!
so much!
Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked.
When he was digging, he thought there were a lot of potatoes, but he didn't expect that when he finally weighed them, there were so many!
This small acre of land actually produced nearly thirty kilograms of potatoes!
If these potatoes were edible, wouldn't it mean that the people of the Ming Dynasty would no longer have to go hungry?
This is simply progress across the ages!
Zhu Yuanzhang was looking forward to the potato feast that Hu Changan was going to serve next.
Zhu Yuanzhang washed his hands, changed his clothes and went to Yangxin Hall, preparing to review the memorials and wait for Hu Changan's dishes.
Zhu Yuanzhang had just sat down and approved a dozen books when the young eunuch came to pass on the food.
Zhu Yuanzhang was so happy that he quickly ordered people to remove the memorial and prepare to have a taste of Hu Changan's craftsmanship.
After a while, the table full of yellow potato feast was served.
Hu Changan also followed the person serving the dishes and entered the Hall of Nourishing Heart.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the table full of dishes, feeling quite at a loss as to what to do.
Seeing Hu Changan walking in, Zhu Yuanzhang quickly called to Hu Changan and said: "Hu Aiqing, come and have dinner with me, and by the way, help me tell me how to eat this thing!"
After Hu Changan heard this, he was also disrespectful. He lifted his robe and sat down next to Zhu Yuanzhang.
The little eunuch on the side quickly brought Hu Changan a pair of bowls and chopsticks with a wink.
Hu Changan first scooped a large spoonful of mashed potatoes from the bowl with a public spoon, put it in his own small bowl, and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, this is the staple food I have prepared for you."
"Potatoes are amazing. They can be a staple food like rice, and can also be stewed and stir-fried with other foods to become a dish."
"The thing I am scooping up now is called mashed potatoes. It is made by directly crushing potatoes and adding ghee directly. It can become a staple food on the dinner table and will make you feel full when you eat it."
With that said, Hu Changan demonstrated on the spot, scooped up a spoonful of mashed potatoes and ate it with relish.
Hu Changan has never tasted potatoes since time traveling.
Although potatoes were not considered a dish before time travel, without potatoes in life, I always felt that something was missing.
Hu Changan is also very happy to be able to have a full meal now.
Seeing Hu Changan eating deliciously, Zhu Yuanzhang also doubtfully scooped up a spoonful of mashed potatoes, put it into his mouth and chewed it.
Suddenly, a soft feeling echoed in his mouth.
It's soft and has a hint of milky aroma, it's really delicious!
Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked.
I didn’t expect the earthy lumps here to be so delicious!
He was wrong before!
Hu Changan looked at Zhu Yuanzhang eating quickly and smiled in his heart.
Sure enough, no one can stop the charm of potatoes.
Hu Changan scooped another piece of potato from the potato and chicken soup and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, don't just eat, you should also try the food!"
"If these potatoes are cooked well, their flavor will be no worse than those vegetables."
"My craftsmanship is only average, and I will show my shame today."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the potato in Hu Changan's spoon, and imitated Hu Changan's example, picked up a piece of potato from the pot, and tasted it carefully.
The potatoes this time have a much richer taste than the mashed potatoes.
The potatoes soaked in the delicious chicken soup are delicious and tempting, and they are even more delicious than the chicken stewed inside!
Even Zhu Yuanzhang, who was used to seeing delicacies from all over the world, was also shocked by this extremely delicious taste. He couldn't stop eating one bite after another.
After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang put down his chopsticks with satisfaction.
Eat and drink enough, feel refreshed!
Look again, the dishes on the table have basically only moved a little bit.
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but be speechless.
The satiety effect of these potatoes is too strong!
Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Hu Changan just picked a few large potatoes to cook, but he didn't expect that he, a strong man, could not eat the dishes he made.
Zhu Yuanzhang drank the tea handed over by the young eunuch, his eyes shining slightly.
This potato is simply a miracle!
A few small potatoes can fill the stomach, and the yield per mu is so high. If this magical potato is promoted, wouldn't the people of the Ming Dynasty no longer have to go hungry!
Preventing the people from going hungry was the highest pursuit of all rulers in ancient times. Unexpectedly, it was unexpectedly achieved by him, Lao Zhu!
Zhu Yuanzhang was almost moved to tears.
Zhu Yuanzhang's parents and brother starved to death because they had no food.
If only there were this magical potato, they wouldn't have to die!
Billions of people in this world can live and work in peace and contentment!
The more Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, the more excited he became. He couldn't help but stand up and solemnly saluted Hu Chang'an: "Hu Aiqing, you really took the greatest credit this time!"
"You have done something that everyone wanted to do but has never done before. On behalf of all the people in the world, I thank you!"
"I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it." Hu Changan quickly stood up and returned the greeting.
Let the emperor salute you, and your life will be shortened.
But Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care at all.
For someone who can grow such a heaven-defying artifact, what if he, Zhu Yuanzhang, kowtows to Hu Changan?
He, Zhu Yuanzhang, is willing!
After being moved, Zhu Yuanzhang asked in detail about the potato growing process: "Hu Aiqing, I wonder how to grow these potatoes?"
"This potato is solid, and there seems to be no seeds inside. How should we plant the next batch of potatoes?"
After Zhu Yuanzhang finished eating the potatoes, he was a little worried. This chapter has been completed!
