Qi Yunche felt itchy in his heart when he heard the maid's words.
Are these potatoes really so delicious?
Qi Yunche had few hobbies in his life. One was martial arts, and the other was food.
"Why don't you go back and buy some potatoes for people to try?" Qi Yunche whispered.
However, if it is not handled properly and it is poisoned, wouldn't it be a big shame?
Qi Yunche gritted his teeth, turned to the two attendants and said, "You move your things back to the house first, I will go back later."
The two attendants didn't hear Qi Yunche's muttering, they just thought Qi Yunche had something important to do, so they nodded hurriedly, picked up the baggage and left.
Qi Yunche ran to the kitchen.
He doesn't know how to handle it, the cook in the government office should be able to handle it!
"Your Excellency, Lord Commander?" Qi Yunche has been in the government office for a while, and all the cooks recognize him.
Without him, the Lord Lieutenant was extremely greedy, and would send people over to ask for some food from time to time, and sometimes he would even come over himself.
A cook asked cheerfully: "What do you want to eat, Lord Lieutenant?"
"Ahem!" Qi Yunche was a little embarrassed, and the tips of his ears turned red.
After all, he was about to leave the government office, but he came to ask for food before leaving.
"That's right, I heard there is a potato..." Qi Yunche hesitated.
"You want some potatoes?"
A voice suddenly sounded behind Qi Yunche.
Qi Yunche was embarrassed and didn't notice anyone approaching for a moment. He was startled. Under the stress reaction, he turned around suddenly and was about to slash at the person with his knife.
Zhao Jin quickly held down his hand, preventing him from drawing the sword out of its sheath.
Only then did Qi Yunche see clearly that the person who had spoken was Zhao Jin.
"Why are you here, sir?" Qi Yunche breathed a sigh of relief, then became even more embarrassed!
What did Zhao Jin mean by that sentence just now?
Does he know what I'm doing here?
"I came over to see how the soup I put in for simmering is doing."
Yesterday, Lang Qianqiu took Ping'an pulse on Mrs. Ning and found that Mrs. Ning was still a little weak and her appetite was not good. Zhao Jin thought of the days he spent in the south in modern times.
I was thinking of making some chicken soup for Mrs. Ning to replenish her body.
Qi Yunche glared at Zhao Jin, "Can you make soup?"
"I can also cook!" Zhao Jin walked into the kitchen with some humor. While looking at his soup, he said to the cook beside him: "Let's make two potato dishes for Lord Lieutenant."
"Okay!"
The cook responded enthusiastically.
Qi Yunche scratched his face and hesitated: "Just one portion is fine. After all, it is used as food seed."
Although Qi Yunche believed that it was not feasible to use these potatoes as grain seeds, after all, what he was going to eat later was indeed grain seeds, and he always felt a little guilty in his heart.
"Don't worry." Zhao Jin didn't even raise his head and said directly: "We have saved enough grain, and now the government office has all the leftovers."
He estimated the time and found that the soup should be almost ready.
So Zhao Jin opened the lid, and a strong fragrance wafted out, instantly catching Qi Yunche's feet.
It tastes like chicken soup, but it doesn't smell like meat at all, only the rich aroma of meat.
Qi Yunche couldn't stand the smell and leaned over, "What kind of chicken soup is this?"
As soon as Zhao Jin raised his head, he saw a head leaning over his head and said with a smile: "I put dried mint, ginger, and some wine."
Because Mrs. Ning's appetite is not very good, these are things that can remove the fishy smell and greasiness.
"Can these be used as stones?" Qi Yunche opened his eyes wide. This was the first time he heard that these things could be used for making soup.
Dried mint and ginger are used as medicinal materials here, and pouring wine into the soup is unheard of.
Zhao Jin raised his eyebrows, "Of course."
As he said this, he took two bowls and poured two bowls of soup, but one bowl was full and the other was only half a bowl.
In order to make the soup thicker, Zhao Jin did not add too much water.
Zhao Jin took the full bowl away, leaving the half bowl of soup, "Let the county captain have a taste of the remaining bowl."
After saying that, Zhao Jin left the small kitchen with the soup.
Qi Yunche looked at the bowl of soup with a somewhat tangled expression. He pursed his lips. Finally, he couldn't stand the smell and picked it up and took a sip.
As soon as those sharp eyes lit up, Qi Yunche no longer hesitated and drank it all in a few sips.
A few days later, everyone who originally thought that promoting potatoes as a food crop would not go smoothly discovered that the people all accepted it!
When Ning Ce heard the news reported by the people below, he opened his mouth in surprise.
His original plan was that no one wanted to believe it at first, but when the grain varieties on the market were almost gone, the people would have no choice but to choose potatoes.
But I never thought that just from the beginning, the people were willing to accept potatoes.
Ning Zhi thought about it for a while, and probably knew what was going on. He shook his head and sighed: "The eldest prince is indeed a malleable talent. We all missed it before."
When Qi Yunche received the news, he was wiping his precious weapon.
It is a long knife. The width of the knife is narrower than ordinary knives. The blade is bright and the blade is faintly shining with cold light. It is obviously an excellent sword.
"Those people don't believe in Tudou, they believe in Zhao Jin." Qi Yunche murmured to himself.
Zhao Jin's prestige in Yunzhou City was beyond his expectation.
Thinking of those rumors, Qi Yunche smiled bitterly. It seemed that he was indeed looking at people with prejudice.
Because potatoes were used as grain seeds, a group of wealthy merchants voluntarily took out the grain seeds and sold them at ordinary prices. For a time, a large amount of grain seeds flooded the market.
Those merchants who tried to hoard grain seeds and sell them at a high price until the final moment of sowing did not expect that so many merchants would be willing to give up this profit!
As for potatoes, no one expected it!
Many of the potatoes they hoarded were purchased at a higher price than before after they saw the price of grain seeds rising. Now, if they don't want to lose everything, they can only lower the price to normal!
For a time, those merchants who wanted to make a lot of money from grain seeds suffered huge losses and regretted it!
The next day.
"Teacher, have you compiled any statistics on the foreign businessmen in Yunzhou City?"
When Ning Ce came over with the documents for Zhao Jin to review, Zhao Jin asked.
"I just wanted to tell you about this." Ning Ce put the pile of documents in his hand on Zhao Jin's desk, took out the top fold and handed it to Zhao Jin.
"The general situation is all here."
Zhao Jin took a look and frowned, "There are so many foreign businessmen in Yunzhou City?"
"There is a large Xiangquan Port in Xiangquan County within Yunzhou County. Many foreign businessmen coming to Zhao or leaving Zhao will pass through Xiangquan Port."
Ning Ce explained: "Yunzhou City is the county seat of Yunzhou County. If they sell goods, they will inevitably come to Yunzhou City."
