Fang Shizhong trusted Qin Mu completely, so he knew the items must be valuable since they had been delivered.

He was naturally unwilling to use these precious things to make food.

"No, these are all things used for planting, we can't take them to the kitchen to cook."

Chi Yu was prepared and said, "Sir, when I came over, I brought a separate basket with some things inside."

When I came over just now, I had someone take it to the kitchen.

Only when you see with your own eyes how to eat this and taste how delicious it is will you know how good these things are.

Fang Shizhong was in a position of power. For him, anything that could serve as food was acceptable, regardless of its taste, as long as it filled his stomach.

He doesn't have high demands for these things.

However, since the food was delivered by the girl in front of him, and she volunteered to cook it, plus she was Amu's fiancée, he still had to give her face.

Therefore, he did not hesitate. Upon hearing Chi Yu's words, he nodded and walked behind Qin Mu and the others with Lin Zhubu.

Chi Yu took out ten catties of potatoes because he wanted to make a dish and eat it as a meal.

I took six of the smaller potatoes and steamed them directly.

The reason we took six is ​​because there are so many people.

Besides the four heads of the yamen—Magistrate Fang, Registrar Lin, County Lieutenant Wang, and Assistant County Magistrate Zheng—the remaining two were Constable Lü and Qin Mu.

That means one for each person.

Steamed potatoes are considered a staple food.

The side dishes are minced meat and mashed potatoes, stir-fried shredded potatoes with vinegar, braised potato chunks, and braised potatoes with pork.

Snacks included wolf-tooth potatoes and French fries.

The portions of the fish dishes and snacks were small, barely enough for each person to have two chopsticks or two bites.

Even though the portions were small, Chi Yu still spent some time preparing the various dishes.

By the time she finished cooking the potatoes and salted pork, County Magistrate Zheng and County Lieutenant Wang had already returned.

Upon seeing the people, Qin Mu immediately invited them over to taste the new grain.

As expected of a member of the Qiao family, Magistrate Zheng was more discerning in his tastes compared to the others present.

After all, Fang Shizhong, the eleventh prince, grew up in the military camp since childhood.

The soldiers are all rough men; as long as they can eat their fill, they don't have high demands for taste.

Therefore, after Zheng, the county magistrate, tasted his portion of food, his eyes lit up instantly.

He looked at Chi Yu, who was making wolf-tooth potatoes, as if he were looking at the God of Wealth.

He knew very well that his wife had a business deal with Chi Yu, mainly involving recipes.

He thought this thing called potato tasted really good.

He likes it whether it's steamed, fried, or deep-fried.

"Miss Chiyu, I wonder how many potatoes you have left?"

Could I sell some to your sister, Qiao?

Now, her restaurant in Jianzhou Prefecture was destroyed by an earthquake.

I used the family's money to build the outer city wall, which is a time when we are short of silver.

If you don't have much, it's fine if you don't sell it to your sister Qiao for cooking, but sell some to us for seed.

I mean, excluding government-owned land.

I believe in you and I'm willing to plant it with you this time.

Anyway, his wife's cousin has already moved out of the Zhong family home and even bought a lot of land a few days ago.

Since the land hasn't been fully planted yet, it would be good to allocate one or two acres for him to plant these potatoes!

If they grow them, besides keeping some for the Zhong family to use as seed, the rest can be sold at his wife's restaurant.

No, if they are truly high-yielding, then their significance as seed production is far greater than their value as food.

I imagine the family could earn a lot of money just from selling these seeds!
