Chapter 1130 Potatoes

Qiao Xuan knew what she was thinking just by looking at her little expression and couldn't help but smile.

This feeling of being trusted and expected is actually quite good.

This time when Qiao Xuan came back, she also brought back a lot of potatoes.

After her careful care, the potatoes planted in the backyard of Jingcheng's home and those growing in the space are all doing great. Before she came back, the potatoes in Jingcheng's backyard had already been dug.

There were about ten plants in total, and each plant produced more than thirty or forty potatoes, each of which was bigger than a fist. Not only was Qiao Xuan happy, but Li Qiu and the others who dug with her were also very happy!

Shao Yunduan couldn't believe it. He stared at the potatoes for a long time and was still in shock!

There are many kinds of crops grown at home, including peanuts, soybeans, corn, and taro, but the yield of none of them can be compared with that of potatoes. Qiao Xuan always called potatoes "yang yams" at first, but later she got carried away and simply said that their shape was more like enlarged beans and they grew in the soil, so it would be more appropriate to call them potatoes.

No other crop produces as much as potatoes!

I just planted a dozen plants in the backyard and harvested two large baskets full of them.

And looking at it, it is lumpy and full, and can fill the stomach like yam, but the yield is much higher than yam. This is, this is very rare.

In the evening, Qiao Xuan specially made a dish of beef stewed with potatoes, a dish of dry-pot potato chips, a dish of spicy and sour potato shreds, and also fried a few small potato pancakes.

When Shao Yunduan took a bite, he found it tasted so good!

Shredded potatoes and potato chips can be used to cook dishes, and potato cubes and potato cakes can be used as food. Even if they cannot replace food, they can be mixed in during famine years.

Its effect in satisfying hunger is not inferior to that of corn, but its yield is much higher than that of corn!

Qiao Xuan hadn't tasted potatoes for a long time, especially her favorite spicy and sour potato shreds. At that time, she boasted to Shao Yunduan with great pride.

Shao Yunduan also praised her with a smile and was filled with emotion. He repeatedly warned her not to tell anyone about the potatoes, not to let the young master of Anping County Prince's Mansion taste them first, and not to tell anyone else.

Shao Yunduan would not say anything to Qiao Xuan without any context, so he told her in detail that potatoes were a new thing, and they had such a high yield and were easy to grow. If they were popularized, it would be a great thing for the common people.

But this is a matter that concerns the livelihoods of the common people, it is too big, we must be careful. Don't talk about it before this.

Especially don’t tell this to the Prince Anping’s Mansion.

The Prince of Anping's Mansion is a non-contentious place, and Prince of Anping has long stayed away from the court and has not been involved in anything over the years. If this matter is told to the Prince of Anping's Mansion, Prince of Anping will not be able to stay out of it and must report it to the emperor. Isn't this equivalent to dragging him in?

This is not appropriate.

Now that the young master has become like that, the Prince of Anping's Mansion should no longer be involved in any court affairs. They just need to remain idle like this.

Qiao Xuan naturally agreed, and reminded him indirectly with a smile that these potatoes were planted in her own backyard, and she took good care of them every day, watering and fertilizing them without fail, so they grew so well and produced so many fruits. If they were promoted, they might not grow so many.

It is considered good if it can produce ten or so fruits.

Maybe it's not that big.

Shao Yunduan laughed and said that even if a plant only produced a dozen fruits, it would still be a lot.
