Everyone sat down and looked at the dishes on the table, none of which they had ever eaten before.

"Sister, have you never seen these dishes before?" Ouyang Mingxuan said.

"Second brother, you have definitely never eaten these. Many of the dishes cooked today are related to the crops I want to grow?" Li Yun said to Ouyang Mingxuan, actually speaking to everyone.

"Sister, are those the vegetables you are going to plant?" Ma Youcai asked Li Yun.

"This dish is called Pig's Feet with Pure Peanuts, and the peanuts are grown today; this hot and sour noodle dish is not made of wheat flour, but of sweet potato flour, which is made from the sweet potatoes I plan to grow.

The rice we eat tonight is the rice I plan to grow. Let’s try it and see if there is any difference.

We have several more crops, and I'll cook them for you tomorrow." Li Yun pointed at the dishes on the stage and explained them to everyone.

So, everyone ate a bowl of hot and sour noodles and was conquered by its sour and spicy taste.

Then they served a bowl of rice. The aroma of rice made them unable to stop eating; there was also the crispy peanuts; the braised pork was fat but not greasy; the ribs were fragrant; the fish was delicious; the roast goose had crispy skin and tender meat; there was no dish that they did not like.

The delicious chicken soup and the effect of ginseng made all their fatigue of the day disappear without a trace.

In the end, all the food on the table was eaten up, even the soup in the plate was not spared.

"Sister, the food you cook is so delicious." Ma Youcai touched his belly in a very unruly manner and said to Li Yun.

"My aunt's cooking skills are comparable to those of the chef in the imperial kitchen." Dingxiang continued.

"The chef in the imperial kitchen is no match for my sister." Ouyang Mingxuan said.

"It's not as exaggerated as you say. How can I compare with the chef?" Li Yun didn't dare to admit it. How could her cooking skills be compared with the royal chef.

"By the way, what are the sweet potatoes my sister just mentioned? When should they be planted?" Ma Youcai just remembered another food.

"After planting peanuts, we will plant sweet potatoes. Don't be impatient, brother." Li Yun said to Ma Youcai.

"Sister, the rice I just ate was so delicious. When will you plant it? Can you sell it to my second brother's restaurant?" Ouyang Mingxuan said.

"Second brother, I can't sell it to you for the time being. I plan to donate the seeds of this fragrant rice, sweet potatoes, and a crop called potatoes to the imperial court so that the people can grow these crops." Li Yun said to Ouyang Mingxuan.

"Yun, Madam Li, do you really want to donate these crops to the court?" Shangguan Feiyun excitedly called out the word "Yun", and quickly changed his words, asking Madam Li to ask his question.

"Yes, I am going to offer these three kinds of food to the court, peanuts and peppers. I don't plan to offer tomatoes to the court for the time being.

You all know that I support a large group of people and need a lot of money. I plan to sell peanuts, tomatoes and peppers for three years." Li Yun also told his plan.

"What is the approximate yield per mu of sweet potatoes, rice and potatoes?" Shangguan Feiyun asked Li Yun.

"My foreign friends told me that in some places, the yield of sweet potatoes per mu can reach 3,000 kilograms, while in other places it can reach 2,000 kilograms. It all depends on the nutrients in the soil.

If the soil is poor, it might only yield about 1,000 kilograms, which is why I need to fertilize it." Li Yun said about the situation of sweet potatoes.

"What?

Three thousand pounds?

Two thousand kilograms?

Even a thousand catties is impressive. Shangguan Feiyun was nearly horrified when he heard about the 3,000 catties per mu yield. My goodness, the Jin Dynasty only produced 300 catties of rice, and that was the highest. During the poor winter, the yield was only 200 catties per mu. How could the people possibly have enough to eat?

"Sister, what is fertile fertilizer?" Ma Youcai asked Li Yun.

Then, Li Yun explained the process and function of fertilization.

I almost vomited the food they ate. Oh my god, this is too disgusting!

"Sister, what about the rice? What's the yield per mu?" Ma Youcai asked Li Yun after calming down.

"Under normal circumstances, it can be between 800 and 1,000 kilograms. If the soil is good, it can be around 1,200 kilograms." Li Yun didn't dare to talk about nutrition or fertilizer anymore. She was afraid that they would really vomit out the food they had eaten.

“So high?

We usually only grow around 200 or 300 kilograms, so 800 kilograms is already very good," said Shangguan Feiyun.

"Madam Li, once these crops are harvested, the imperial court will purchase them at a high price."

“Master Shangguan, no need, I told you, it is presented to the court free of charge.

There was only one condition, which was that the imperial court gave it to the people for free for planting.

If the imperial court can't do it, I will give it directly to the people to plant." Li Yun stated his conditions.

"Madam Li, I can guarantee this." Shangguan Feiyun was so excited that he forgot to keep his identity secret.

Chen Mo and his wife——

Dabao's three siblings——

Ouyang Mingxuan and Ma Youcai quickly lowered their heads, not daring to look at Shangguan Feiyun.

Li Yun was speechless and had to help him get over it.

"Master Shangguan, what do you promise?

I know you care about the people, and you were just too happy for a moment, so you said nonsense." Li Yun helped Shangguan Feiyun to cover up the lie.

"So, I was just too happy and said something nonsense, scaring them into thinking Shangguan Feiyun was the emperor or a royal relative?" Chen Mo and his wife and Dabao's three siblings thought to themselves.

Ma Youcai and his wife and Ouyang Mingxuan secretly gave Li Yun a thumbs up and praised her reaction.

"Yes, I was too happy for a moment and forgot who I was. I said nonsense. Please don't be offended!" Shangguan Feiyun also knew that he almost exposed his identity.

“As for potatoes, the yield per mu is between 3,000 and 4,000 kilograms.

"Although potatoes are high-yielding, they have a short shelf life and easily sprout. Sprouted potatoes are poisonous and should not be eaten. Otherwise, you will die of poisoning, and even gods cannot save you." Li Yun explained the situation with potatoes.

“What should I do then?
