Chapter 100 This generation of imperial people is not good enough
Uncontaminated chestnuts have a sweet taste, high water content and high starch content, and are really delicious.
"Baby, this fruit is delicious."
After eating half a chestnut, the rabbit father seemed to have discovered a new world. He looked at the chestnut with eyes full of tenderness and kept exclaiming, "What a good fruit, what a good fruit!"
“It tastes good, doesn’t it?”
Jian Yan smiled and said, "Sugar-roasted chestnuts and chestnut stewed chicken are even better.
There are also chestnut and oatmeal stewed pork ribs, chestnut stewed lamb, black chicken and chestnut nourishing soup, etc.
In addition, chestnuts can also be used to make chestnut cakes."
"In short, chestnuts are delicious no matter how you eat them."
As she spoke, she looked at Tang Zhen and the others who were staring at the chestnuts on the ground in a daze. Thinking they didn't believe her, she urged them, "Uncle Tang, try it. Hearing is believing, but tasting is believing. Once you eat it, you'll know whether I can trust my words or not."
Tang Zhen and the others turned around in shock, staring at Jian Yan for a few seconds before saying with a gloomy face, "We don't disbelieve you."
Sighing, Tang Zhen explained, "This tree you call a chestnut is called a thorn ball tree in the Empire. It's become a disaster. Every year, countless pedestrians are injured by chestnuts falling from the tree and need to be hospitalized.
Except for industrial planets, mining planets and several undeveloped planets, all residents on agricultural planets and residential planets are troubled by chestnuts.
The Zerg and Chestnut each took a share of the empire's huge financial expenditure, and they were two big money-eaters.
We hate chestnuts to death. Every year when the chestnuts grow, the government is in a lot of trouble. And now you tell us that chestnuts are edible..."
After a slight pause, Tang Zhen said with a puzzled look, "So what on earth were we doing before?!"
Jian Yan and Rabbit Dad also wanted to know why, with a population of over 10 billion in the empire, no one had ever tried to eat chestnuts.
Such good food still costs a lot of money to clean up and destroy every year. What can they say?
I can only complain that the people of this era of the empire are no good, and neither is the imperial government.
Looking at the depressed Tang Zhen and the others, Jian Yan comforted them, "It's not too late to know now. Let's take these chestnuts back and cook them tonight.
I believe that Lu Shuai will report the news of chestnuts being edible. Once this information becomes widely known, the government and the public won’t have to worry about chestnuts anymore.”
"Yes, we need to bring chestnuts back and find a way to promote them."
After hearing Jian Yan's words, Tang Zhen and the others no longer cared about being depressed. They bent down and picked up a chestnut, peeled the hairy and prickly shell according to Jian Yan's method, and then took out the chestnut inside, peeled it and put it in their mouths.
The texture and taste of the chestnuts made them stunned for a moment. Then Tang Zhen said it was a waste of resources and asked Luoyang and the others to pick up the chestnuts.
In fact, there was no need for him to call them, Luoyang and the others had already taken action.
The chestnut tree was very big. They picked up three or four hundred kilograms of chestnuts that fell on the ground, and together with those knocked down from the tree, it was nearly a ton.
Of course, this is the weight without shelling. In order to save time, the furry shell is retained. If the shell is removed, the weight will be halved.
Even so, it is amazing that this chestnut tree can produce over a thousand kilograms. You should know that in her era, there were more than 50 five-year-old chestnut trees planted per mu, and the yield of each tree was basically around 50 kilograms.
When the harvest is good, the yield will be slightly higher, and when it is bad, the yield will naturally decrease.
The empire's chestnut trees do not have to worry about production.
