Chapter 116: Pig Killing and Imperial Banquet

After the sweet potatoes emerged, Yun Qinghan took a hoe and started digging them.

Although Shu Xiaoxiao said that sweet potato vines can also be fed to pigs, sheep, etc., he was still more interested in sweet potatoes, so when everyone was pulling sweet potato vines, he was digging sweet potatoes.

Because Shu Xiaoxiao said that it would be better preserved if the epidermis was not damaged, Yun Qinghan was still very careful when he used the hoe.

First, dig out the soil around the sweet potatoes, and then carefully dig the sweet potatoes out of the soil. Under Yun Qinghan's operation, several oval-shaped sweet potatoes appeared intact next to his hands.

It has a slender and slightly curved shape, a smooth surface and bright colors. Shu Xiaoxiao originally thought that the first sweet potato to appear would be the plump white one, but she was very surprised when she dug up this sweet potato yesterday.

This variety of sweet potato tastes more delicate and sweeter than the plump ones. The plump ones are mostly white in flesh, with low sugar content and plenty of starch. They are too floury and have a worse taste.

This kind of slender sweet potato has a high sugar content and a low starch content. It tastes soft, sweet and easy to bake.

To bring happiness to winter, roasted sweet potatoes must be a part of it.

Yun Qinghan looked at the sweet potatoes beside him. He just dug this one casually. There were seven or eight sweet potatoes on it. The others should be about the same.

Although he did not participate in the sweet potato farming, Huo Feng often talked to him about the usual weeding, pest control and watering.

It seems that sweet potatoes not only have a high yield, but are also much easier to grow than wheat and rice. If they can be quickly promoted in Daning, people's livelihood should be greatly improved within three years.

If the people knew the yield of sweet potatoes, they would not refuse. As for the planting method, the government could unify the seedling cultivation.

While Yun Qinghan was digging sweet potatoes, he was planning how to promote them.

Shu Xiaoxiao came up to Yun Qinghan, gave him a thumbs up and praised him, "Senior Brother Yun, you are amazing! None of the sweet potatoes have broken skins, perfect!"

Yun Qinghan nodded to Shu Xiaoxiao: "This sweet potato is very good."

Then I started digging up another sweet potato. There were so many of them on one sweet potato. I estimated that they must weigh four or five kilograms. It was quite a sense of accomplishment to dig them up.

Shu Xiaoxiao saw that Yun Qinghan was in a good mood, so she came over and whispered, "Brother, in my old village, after the busy farming season was over, we would kill pigs to eat.

To celebrate the harvest, if the village hunted wild boars or something, they would use a big pot, and every household in the village would bring some vegetables and seasonings from home, put them into the big pot, and stew them together with the pork. The taste was so delicious. "

Speaking of this, Shu Xiaoxiao swallowed her saliva. She was really a little greedy, especially since she had only some tasteless porridge for breakfast. Now thinking of the fragrant slaughtered pork, her saliva was really flowing.

He immediately continued: "Brother, hasn't the big pot we used been idle? Why don't we make some pig-killing dishes to celebrate the harvest?"

Hearing the sound of Shu Xiaoxiao drooling, Yun Qinghan couldn't help laughing. This junior brother was good in everything except that he cared too much about food.

However, this also makes the junior brother seem more innocent, frank and natural.

"Then can you cook the pig-killing dish?"

He knew that his junior fellow apprentice had many novel ideas about food, but his cooking skills were really not good enough.

"I roughly remember how to make it. I'll let Huo Feng make it according to my method. Senior Brother Yun, can you lend me Huo Feng for a while? Let's have something delicious and celebrate together!"

After spending some time together, Shu Xiaoxiao discovered that although Senior Brother Yun seemed like a flower on the high mountain who could only be admired from afar, he was still easy to talk to as long as it did not involve issues of principle.

Seeing that his junior fellow apprentice was greedy, Yun Qinghan directly ordered Huo Feng to take people to the back mountain to hunt wild boars and come back to make the pig-killing dish.

Just with these sweet potatoes, not to mention the pig-killing dishes, even if Shu Xiaoxiao wanted to have a royal banquet, Yun Qinghan could satisfy her.
