Before Cao Yi left, he told him that boiling potatoes could probably be controlled at a time of incense.
That’s fifteen to twenty minutes.
In this way, the potatoes are cooked with the best flavor.
Cao Pi directly ordered a cauldron this time, and began to cook on the local stove.
Start cooking for about two or three minutes.
An indescribable fragrance has already emerged from the pot.
“The aroma of this thing is more than corn!”
“It must be delicious!”
Xu Chu suddenly widened his eyes and said excitedly.
Before being called by Cao Pi, Xu Chu had been training in the barracks according to the method given by Cao Pi.
This back and forth, but I looked a little hungry.
Smelling such an aroma has already made my index finger salivate.
The time of a simmering incense is not long, and it is not short.
It’s a bit of a torment for everyone.
Soon, seeing that the incense was burned, the soldiers hurriedly lifted the lid of the pot.
A rich fragrance suddenly came to my face.
Everyone’s thoughts were all disrupted, and they all looked towards the pot.
Without saying a word, Xu Chu rushed forward directly and took out a potato from the pot.
Although the hot Xu Chu was a little grinning, he couldn’t help but stuff the potatoes into his mouth.
“So astringent…”
Xu Chu suddenly frowned.
It shouldn’t be!
This potato smells so sweet, how can it taste astringency first?
Cao Pi cried and laughed:
“Ei’er said that this thing should be eaten after peeling off the brown skin.”
“General Xu, you are probably too hasty.”
Xu Chu immediately smiled embarrassedly, tried it carefully according to the method Cao Pi said, and then put it in the end.
Soft and sweet!
Xu Chu’s face suddenly showed satisfaction, and he hurriedly picked up two potatoes again and swallowed them in a big gulp.
I can’t even bother to burn my mouth.
“In addition to meat, there are not many foods that can make Zhongkang so liked.”
Seeing this, Xu Huang couldn’t help but say.
Everyone also rushed to the pot, picked up the potatoes and began to taste.
Without exception, everyone raved!
Although it cannot be said to be far better than corn, it can only be said that the flavor is different.
But this sweet and soft texture is the first time everyone feels it!
After eating just one, I already felt full.
“Wouldn’t it be beautiful if such a delicious delicacy was used as military food?”
Zhang Liao said a little excitedly.
Cao Pi’s heart was even more turbulent.
Delicious, high yield, and easy to feel full!
Moreover, it is not a feeling of satiety, and it can indeed recover your strength after eating!
If this thing is really made into military food, it can definitely greatly improve the morale of soldiers!
If it is spread all over the world, the people can also eat it.
Where else will there be starvation all over the world?!
In addition, there is the most important point.
It is that this thing does not need to be cultivated too carefully, and even has a certain anti-natural disaster effect!
You know, in the past three months of planting potatoes, Jiangxia ushered in a drought of considerable scale.
Although it did not last long, most of the surrounding corn was completely wilted in the fields.
Seeing that there is no harvest!
But these twenty acres of land probably produced about five or six tons of potatoes!
Even if it is not used for military use, it is enough for the people to eat for a long time!
That’s only twenty acres of land!
“I already knew that potatoes are such a fetish, I should try my best to arrange for more variety!”
Cao Pi immediately sighed and said helplessly.
But he didn’t have many seeds in his hands.
If you want to plant again, I am afraid that it will be enough for thirty or forty acres of land at most.
“Quick, quickly send a message to Xu Du.”
“Ask if there are any seeds in Ei’er?”
“This thing has such a high yield in the south, it is hard to come by!”
Cao Pi immediately said eagerly to the guards.
Who knew that at this moment, Jia Xuan smiled indifferently and said:
“Gongzi don’t worry, Xiaogongzi has already expected this.”
“A few days ago, Xiao Gongzi sent a secret letter to Zai alone, and a large bag of seeds.”
“Xiao Gongzi did not say the role of this seed, but asked the lower official to give it to Gongzi when the potatoes are ripe.”
“Now it seems that Xiao Gongzi has long foreseen this, and specially sent potato seeds!”
Hearing Jia Xuan’s words, Cao Pi’s eyes suddenly brightened:
“Good Ei’er, my good Ei’er!”
“Be prepared!”
Jia Xuan continued to laugh:
“The seeds given by the little prince are still on the Xiaguan Mansion.”
“If you want to plant, you can send soldiers to sow seeds today.”
“However, Xiao Gongzi mentioned one more point above the letter, and I hope I will adopt it later.”
Hearing this, Cao Pi couldn’t help but be stunned, and immediately said:
“Mr. Wen He said.”
“Since it is Ei’er’s request, I will help him fulfill it no matter what.”
Jia continued:
“Xiaogongzi said that the potatoes planted for the first time should not be used for military use.”
“Instead, it was distributed to the people all over Jingzhou.”
“As for the army, there is instant noodles, and there will be no shortage of food for the time being.”
Cao Pi immediately said with joy:
“Don’t say it, I also have this intention!”
“Jingzhou has been in drought for many days, and there is no harvest, and this is the time to return!”
“This potato is the best means for our army to stabilize the people’s hearts!”
“Moreover, with the help of this method, it can also make the people voluntarily willing to plant.”
“The more you plant, the more you eat, the more you have to worry about food!”
“E’er is a good plan to kill two birds with one stone!”
When everyone heard Cao Yi’s explanation, they couldn’t help but gasp.
They knew that Cao Yi had talents in military strategy that ordinary people could not match.
But I definitely did not expect that there would be such amazing insights in terms of people’s livelihood!
“Pass on the order and distribute these potatoes to all parts of Jingzhou, led by Jiang Xia.”
“Publicize everywhere that this object is a divine object found by my Cao patriarch Sun Cao Yi!”
Cao Pi didn’t say a word, and directly ordered to go down.
If it was the credit of others, Cao Pi might have monopolized it himself.
But Cao Pi’s, Cao Pi will definitely not do it.
His own son is angry, and his face is also light!
Moreover, Cao Pi was completely pleased with Cao Yi this time.
This time, we must take advantage of this momentum to hype Cao Yi.
Otherwise, how could he be worthy of Cao Yi’s contribution to such a divine artifact?!
“Oh!”
Everyone immediately got the order and acted according to Cao Pi’s instructions.
At this moment, Cao Pi suddenly remembered:
“Speaking of which, Ei’er also said that this potato can not only be cooked as a staple food.”
“It can also be used as a dish.”
“It’s a vegetable in itself.”
“If you add it to condiments, it can be a good dish!”
“Say… Doing so well is like stir-frying…”
Hearing this, everyone immediately looked at each other.
“Stir-fry? What does this mean? ”
Everyone stared wide-eyed, and even Jia Xu was confused.
No wonder they are.
The concept of stir-frying did not exist during the Three Kingdoms period.
It was not until the Northern Wei period that the prototype concept of stir-frying was born.
It was not until the Tang Dynasty that it began to slowly improve, and it was not until the Song Dynasty that it was able to spread.
During this period, it is the precipitation of the years.
Cao Pi also said with a half-understanding:
“Before you leave, give me a cookbook for stir-frying.”
“This stir-fry is made of iron, and then oil is poured into it and the dish is added…”
Fortunately, Cao Pi’s memory is quite good, and he almost told everyone the concept of stir-frying.
Jia Xuan couldn’t help but be a little embarrassed and said:
“This… Iron is so scarce that armor and weapons are far from enough. ”
“Where is there so much iron to make a pot?”
Cao Pi also sighed helplessly:
“I can only ask Ei’er about this.”
“I asked Ei’er about this.”
“Ei’er said he has a way to increase iron production, but it will take a certain amount of time.”
Hearing this, everyone exclaimed.
At this moment, Cao Yi was simply a god-like existence in their eyes!
“Let’s distribute these potatoes to the people first.”
“By the way, send someone to send some potatoes to my father, and say that these potatoes were made by Ei’er.”
Cao Pi waved his hand and signaled to go down.
……
The next day, Koto.
Cao Cao’s face was gloomy, and he looked at the military officials Chinese tent.
A month has passed.
A whole month!
The Cao army could only stop at Chaisang and stagnate!
Only now did Cao Cao understand that this Wu was not so easy to fight.
Sun Quan mobilized troops from all over the country and besieged the three prefectures and counties occupied by Cao at all costs.
In addition, Liu Bei also rushed here to carry out a surprise attack behind his back.
This caused chaos in the camp.
But fortunately, Cao Cao listened to Cao Ei’s advice and fought steadily.
Many garrisons were also sent in the other two counties.
This led to Liu Bei’s failure to cut off Cao Jun’s grain and grass even if he raided.
Otherwise, without grain and grass, this Wu Du would not think that he could fight down at all.
As for the grain output of the occupied prefectures and counties, it is basically no different from Jingzhou.
There is a drought in Jingzhou, and Jiangdong is not much better.
It is a problem for the people of Jiangdong to eat themselves, let alone provide it to the 200,000 army.
Cao Cao knew in his heart that although the people of Jiangdong had complaints against him, they were not allowed to rob the people of Jiangdong.
Doing so will only make the southern expedition more difficult.
Food is a big problem right now.
But the capture of Wudu is only a matter of time.
But at this time, Cao Cao still had some worries about the situation in the north.
Although he had already sent Cao Yi to the north to sit in the town.
But Cao Cao still felt a little bottomless about Cao Yi.
In terms of war, Cao Ei’s advice can be described as exhaustive, and the recruitment is fatal.
But in the officialdom and the dealings with the Shi clan, Cao Cao really did not dare to believe it.
Therefore, Cao Cao could not help but worry about turmoil in the north.
But fortunately, after such a long time, no bad news came.
It shows that under the governance of Cao Yi and Xun Yu, the north barely stabilized the situation.
But Cao Cao knew in his heart that this situation might not last long.
There is only one immediate priority.
It is to take Wu Du as soon as possible.
Once Wudu was taken, Jiangdong lost his backbone.
If Sun Quan can be killed together, the entire Jiangdong will completely fall into a leaderless situation.
It’s just that the current Cao Cao still lacks a way to break the enemy.
At this moment, a soldier hurriedly came to the tent and said:
“Newspaper!”
“Minister Qiyu, Gongzi sent letters in Jiangxia, and some strange food.”
“I said I wanted to give it to the minister to taste!”
