Chapter 158 Potatoes



When Ruan Jingye received a call from the manufacturer, he took the address of the factory that Ruanruan had rented before.

When the two men arrived there, they had already unloaded five carts of rice, five carts of potatoes, five carts of sweet potatoes, one cart of corn flour, and one cart of mung bean flour and glutinous rice flour, and were now unloading baskets of vegetables.

When the leading driver saw Ruan Jingye, he took the list and asked him to check it.

Ruanruan looked at the crowded warehouse, scratched her head, and found an empty corner to talk to Zhao Chengqian and the others.

"Brother Xiaogan, my uncle and I have arrived and will bring the things over right away. How about you guys?"

Zhao Chengqian said, "Father has already found a place."

"Okay!" The small and soft one squatted in the corner of the warehouse.

The warehouse was filled with things, bags, boxes, and baskets all neatly arranged and stacked as high as two or three stories high.

Ruan Jingye looked at the piles of things and couldn't see the little guy at all. "Ruanruan, where are you?"

"Oh, uncle, Ruanruan is here!" Ruanruan poked his head out from a pile of things.

"Don't run around, be careful." Ruan Jingye said.

He finished unloading the goods, and the large truck next to him also finished unloading. The drivers all left one after another.

Ruan Jingye pressed the button, and the rolling shutter door of the warehouse slowly closed automatically.

Seeing this, Ruanruan quickly carried out the vase and said, "Pingping, hurry up and deliver the things to Xiaogan and the others!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the things piled up like a building in the warehouse disappeared in an instant.

At this time, the backyard of Prince Jin's Mansion was filled with bags, boxes, and baskets of things piled higher than the house.

Their yard was completely overwhelmed by the trees, and the five yards next door were reserved for future owners to live in, but they were all filled with stuff.

Prince Jin and his companions emerged from the pile of things as if they were walking through a maze, and stood beside the stone archway in the courtyard.

Everyone was dumbfounded, "This...this is too much!"

"I don't know what the little fairy has sent us."

Gu Sanlang took out a dagger from his sleeve, cut open a bag by the door, and big sweet potatoes fell out.

"Your Highness, this is a sweet potato!"

Doctor Luo picked up the big sweet potato from the ground, compared it with his palm, and said in amazement, "This... the sweet potato given by the little immortal is too big, even bigger than our palm!"

"This is enough for a meal."

In another courtyard, Ying Yi used a dagger to cut open the bag and looked at the potatoes that were bigger than fists rolling on the ground. "Your Highness, this... come and see. I don't know what this is!"

Prince Jin and Doctor Luo Shen walked in quickly and looked at the things rolling on the ground.

Doctor Luo looked at the potatoes on the ground and suddenly remembered something, "Your Highness, I've seen this before in the Western Regions when I was traveling. Some people got diarrhea after eating it. It's poisonous."

"That's impossible! How could the little god give us something poisonous to eat? You must have made a mistake." Song Zhou looked at him suspiciously.

"Yes, Uncle Luo, you are not mistaken, the little immortal can't harm us!" Zhao Yong looked up at him and said with his fists clenched.

"That's definitely impossible. I mean, maybe this thing is not for eating." Doctor Luo Shen saw that they were all angry and was afraid that if he said a few more words, they would come up and punch him.

"Ah? What are you talking about? It's poisonous." Ruanruan heard their argument in the vase.

"It's a round thing that looks a bit like a sweet potato." Zhao Chengqian replied in a low voice.

"Oh oh oh, that's a potato. Uncle Luo is right. It is indeed poisonous." Ruanruan said.

Doctor Luo Shen was so confident after receiving the support from Ruan Ruan, "Right? I told you it was poisonous, and you still doubted my medical skills!"

Song Zhou frowned, "But... if it's poisonous..." Why did the little immortal send it over again?

"Could it be that this thing has other effects and is not for eating?"

Ruanruan said, "It's for eating."

Everyone became even more confused after hearing what she said. Isn't this poisonous? Why eat it?

Ruanruan said, "Because...it's not poisonous under normal circumstances. Potatoes can be used as a staple food here. Like rice, they contain a lot of starch."

"It's poisonous because the potatoes have sprouted. You can't eat potatoes with sprouts. Eating them will give you diarrhea."

Doctor Luo opened his eyes wide, clapped his hands suddenly, and said in sudden realization: "So that's it!"

"Some of those who consumed it were indeed poisoned, but some were fine."

He was puzzled at the time and didn't expect that this was the reason!

Ruanruan continued, "There are so many ways to eat potatoes. You can steam them, fry them, put them in hot pot, mash them, make fried potato cakes, or use them in potato flour!"

She transformed herself into a science expert, leisurely sharing knowledge about potatoes. "Potatoes grow faster than rice and sweet potatoes, and they have very low requirements for the growing environment. If you plant them in the ground and don't dig them up, they will continue to grow on their own. Potatoes also have well-developed roots."

“It is particularly suitable for places with harsh growing environments.”

"After you build your greenhouse, you can try growing potatoes. Cut the sprouted potatoes into pieces and throw them into the soil. Let them grow on their own. That way everyone will have something to eat! And you won't have to take care of them much."

"That's great! This way we can grow our own food." Song Zhou couldn't help but smile when he heard that.

“And we can harvest it quickly!”

"Once the snow melts, every household in Qingzhou will be able to grow their own crops, and no one will have to worry about going hungry anymore."

"This potato is so big, one can fill me up." Yingyi held the potato in his hand and weighed it.

In another yard, Ying Qi held a taro as big as his face in both hands, and opened another bag, from which big red tomatoes rolled out.

"Your Highness, it's taro and red fruits!" Ying Qi's heart was beating very fast. His usually expressionless face broke into a smile as he shouted.

This kind of red fruit was given to me by Ruanruan before. It seemed to be called tomato, but they all called it this red fruit because it can be eaten raw!

"This amount of taro will be enough for us to eat for a long time!" Doctor Luo pushed Gu Sanlang over.

His favorite food was taro. Looking at the big taro on the ground and the bags piled up like a mountain, he narrowed his eyes and smiled with a red face.

Doctor Luo immediately clasped his hands together and said devoutly, "Thank you, little immortal. Thank you, little immortal, for bestowing so many gifts. I will definitely serve you for generations to come!"

Prince Jin went to another courtyard, took out a dagger from his sleeve and cut open the bag, and all that flowed out was silver rice.

"It's rice! The little god has brought rice again!" Zhao Yong said excitedly as he looked at the large grains of rice flowing out.

"Is this corn flour?" Song Zhou opened another bag and looked at the yellow powder inside, which had a faint corn fragrance.

"This seems to be glutinous rice flour!" Doctor Luo opened a bag of white flour, grabbed a little flour, put it in his mouth and tasted it.
