Daqin: Qin Shihuang Visited The Stalls At the Start

"What do you envy, what I give you is better than them."

Just this sentence made Meng Wanning's heart tremble.

She looked at Su Yu happily.

"Yours is in the house, I'll give it to you after dinner." Su Yu said.

Meng Wanning nodded obediently, and a smile appeared on her face again.

If you eat too much meat, you will get tired.

The people who made a pass at the beginning are already a little unable to eat at this moment.

As a result, dried sweet potatoes, roasted corn, and salt-baked peanuts came to the table one after another.

"Hey, is there something new?"

Wang Ben unceremoniously picked up a peanut and threw it into his mouth.

Immediately, the unique paste fragrance of peanuts, coupled with just the right salty taste, erupted in the mouth.

"Well, it's a baby! Fragrant!"

Two more peanuts, and I'm taking a sip of wine.

Beautiful!

Lao Zhao and others also hurried chopsticks to taste this new dish.

"Well, this hard one is a bit hard to chew, but it's sweet and delicious."

"This yellow and bright thing is so tender, sweet and delicious."

"This thing is too drunk!"

With the addition of peanuts and dried sweet potatoes.

This wine, Su Yu, is pouring faster.

Looking at Meng Wanning, who didn't drink, she was holding a corn and gnawing at it.

This kind of sweet food is just in line with her taste.

"Su Yu, your new stuff here is really endless."

Lao Zhao's face turned slightly red, apparently drinking began to come up.

Su Yu smiled proudly: "That's right, it's not just a new thing, it's a good thing."

"Oh? Quickly introduce us, what a good method!"

Lao Zhao's eyes were bright.

He likes good things the most.

Especially good things that can benefit the country and the people.

Su Yu picked up a peanut with chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

"It's peanuts, a crop that can be fried as a snack or oil."

In Daqin, the oil people use are animal fats such as lard and tallow.

And the average family can't afford oil at all.

The earliest vegetable oils were only gradually popularized in the Han Dynasty.

"Extracting oil!?" Lao Zhao and the others were shocked.

They had never heard that plants could also make oil.

Su Yu nodded slightly and continued to introduce: "Peanuts have a high oil content."

"With the current squeezing method, generally three catties of peanuts can squeeze out one catty of oil."

"Then what is the yield per mu of peanuts?"

Lao Zhao asked the most important question.

Su Yu stretched out two fingers.

"Two thousand pounds."

"Two thousand pounds!"

Rao is that everyone is already prepared.

But I was still taken aback by this number.

Two thousand catties of peanuts means nearly seven hundred catties of oil!

How many cows and sheep does it take to make it?

In addition, cattle are an important labor force in Daqin, and it is even more impossible to slaughter them arbitrarily.

And Shan She is extremely ferocious and hard to catch.

One can imagine the preciousness of oil.

If there are these peanuts, the shortage of edible oil in Daqin will be greatly improved.

This is another divine artifact that improves people's lives!

"It's good stuff! Good stuff!"

Old Zhao's excited drinking has subsided a little.

Seeing this, Su Yu quickly filled his wine bowl with a smirk.

Drink more.

The more he drank, the more aggressive Lao Zhao became.

Lao Zhao was not polite, picked up the wine bowl and drank it.

"happy!"

With a loud cry, he picked up the corn and started nibbling it.

"What is this? It's sweet and soft, I can eat five at a time!"

"It's corn, which can be used as a staple food or ground into flour."

"The most important thing is that it is rich in multiple amino groups... Forget it, I can't explain it to you."

"You just need to know that eating more of this stuff is good for your health."

As a staple food, ground into flour?

The few people who were eating stopped their movements one after another, and their eyes turned green when they looked at the corn.

They didn't hear anything else.

Only know this corn, can be a staple food!

Two thousand catties per mu.

This is the third crop that Su Yu has come up with that can be used as a staple food after rice and potatoes.

There is no doubt that this will completely change the current status of Daqin!
