Chapter 948: Where Are We Flying To?

Everyone pondered.

Pier, the long embankment extending from the land into the water, the intersection of water and land.

Baron Xingyi Liang Qu, a native of Pingyang, Nanhua. Pingyang Prefecture is adjacent to the Jianghuai marshlands, with lush reeds, a port every ten steps, a pier every hundred steps, and a harbor every thousand steps.

The water town environment is closely related to Liang Qu's life, the place where he eats and sleeps, so it is not difficult to understand.

Only fries—...

"A spherical root plant, the stem is diamond-shaped, with fine hairs, buried deep in the soil, similar to peanuts, with large blocks, thin skin and yellow color, one is enough for one person to be full, whether roasted or boiled, it can be eaten. Sprinkle a thin layer of salt, the taste is fresh and unique, unfortunately—"

Liang Qu sighed.

He recalled seven years ago.

At that time, chili and various spices were brought in by the Western Army, and they had just become popular in the Great Shun territory, becoming a new emerging flavor replacing pepper. He took the opportunity to make a spicy hot pot, which became popular and made a small profit.

Nowadays, various hot pots are common in the Imperial Capital, but potatoes are still buried in some corner, never seen before.

Miss it so much, don't know if there are any.

"Thin skin and yellow color, buried deep in the soil—is the thing Liang Shidi mentioned a potato?"

"Huh?"

Liang Qu looked up suddenly, the one who spoke was his own Cao Shixiong Yang Xu!

He nodded busily.

"Yes, potato, it is potato. Cao Shixiong, how do you—... by the way, Cao Shixiong, you are the one who opened up the Western Army! Is there this in the Western Army?"

Liang Qu's eyes showed expectation.

"Wait a moment—..."

Without nonsense, Yang Xu stepped forward, leaped out of the floating island, fell straight down from the high altitude, and landed in the Fulong Temple below.

The sudden scene made everyone curious, and the senior brothers waiting for food in the kitchen also gathered around.

Not long after.

Yang Xu carried a sack and leaped closer. The sack fell to the ground. When it was opened, the smell of dry soil dispersed. Under the gray soil, the color was golden and round.

There really is!

Potato!

Liang Qu's eyes shone, he raised his hand to grab it, rubbed off the soil with his thumb and took a deep breath. The smell rushed straight to the back of his brain, connecting his long-lost delicious memories, and his heart jumped lightly.

This is the taste!

Can't be wrong!

Another familiar thing returned!

Life!

"This is it! This is it! Cao Shixiong, how do you have this? And brought it on the boat?"

"I'm curious, Liang Shidi, you grew up in Huaiyin, where did you know about potatoes." Yang Xu saw his Liang Shidi was happy, and his mood was also good, so he didn't dwell on such small things, "This thing came with chili back then, it is said to be born in a small country in the Southern Frontier."

"The horse team took a big circle, was carried on the back by merchants, brought to the Western Army, and then spread from the Western Army back to the Imperial Capital."

"Knowing the yield per mu, the Emperor asked for seedlings to be brought back that year."

"So many years, why hasn't it been promoted?"

"There are a few problems. First, although the yield per mu is high, it gets smaller and smaller as it is planted. It was discovered that there is a solution, which is to exchange seeds every three seasons. How can this kind of grain be fast? One round trip is several years."

"Second, potatoes have too much water. Unlike rice and wheat, which can be stored for several years or even dried, it's good that the Western Army planted it for a few years and roughly figured it all out, and compiled a small booklet. I was almost vomiting from eating it in the Western Army, but it's not bad to taste it occasionally, so I brought a few bags back this year. We privately call this thing 'Ma Ling Shu' (Horse Bell Potato), because it looks like a horse bell."

"Horse bell?"

The little Xiao Xiao Shenlong fell into deep thought, moved its body and flew to the back of the courtyard.

"Seems like it!"

The voice came through the courtyard wall, mixed with the dissatisfied snorting of the Red Mountain, and everyone laughed.

Master Huai Kong bowed.

"Uncle Master, since there is this thing, can you teach us what fries are?"

Six Demon Trials, clearly seeing one's own heart.

Drawing inferences from one instance, it might be beneficial.

"Simple!"

Gurgle gurgle.

In the kitchen, golden vegetable oil was poured into the iron pot, Master Huai Kong burned the fire, Yuan washed with water,

Ta Ta Kai held a grass stem in its mouth, stepped on a wooden bucket with one foot, finally freed its hands, held a potato in one hand and a kitchen knife in the other, quickly cut the skin, one knife from beginning to end without breaking the skin.

Clean potatoes were placed on the cutting board, and strips of unequal size were put into the basket.

Splash~

Residual water and oil splashed to the edge of the pot.

Less than a quarter of an hour before and after.

In several white porcelain plates, golden wolf-tooth fries, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, emitted steaming heat.

Ta Ta Kai picked up a pinch of salt, made a swan-neck shape, the snow-white salt grains brushed across the brown fur, and fell thinly.

"This is fries?"

"Taste it."

The porcelain plate was pushed forward.

Liang Qu dropped the rag, reached out and touched one first, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Following suit.

The men reached out, the women held chopsticks, stuffed them into their mouths, and their eyes shone.

Delicious!

Tasty!

Many ingredients are eaten for their original taste, very "punchy", such as pea tips and potatoes, all are among them.

Potatoes are stimulated by deep-frying, and their simple deliciousness is even more magical, almost opening up the "pier, water and land intersection, seemingly simple, but actually with fishing boats, merchant ships, warships, it is a place for ordinary people to live, a place to fight for life, and even a place to fight for wealth."

"Fries are potatoes, delicious. If promoted, it is the basic need for rice and grain, home-cooked food. But if not promoted, the transportation along the way is more than a thousand miles, the price is high, a portion in a restaurant can sell for more than ten taels, and it is a delicacy that is hard for ordinary people to seek."

Master Huai Kong touched one after another into his mouth, his thoughts collided, and he was surprised by the mystery of these words. One sentence, seven words, seemingly ordinary, but actually the course of life is all in it, covering everything.

Fishermen don't need to say.

As for the Holy Emperor, the world is a "water and land pier", and the annual two taxes are "fries".

After eating a portion.

Ta Ta Kai took out the newly fried ones with a bamboo leak, knocked them, drained the oil, and there was a friction sound between the fries.

Liang Qu found a charcoal pen in the stove, observed the surroundings, and drew directly on the white wall.

The fragrance here attracted even the Wonderful Winged Bird on the eaves, which took the long strip from Master Huai Kong's hand.

"Ah wu ah wu, really fragrant!"

The little Xiao Xiao Shenlong held a pile in its arms, its mouth bulging, a dragon tail swinging back and forth, not satisfied even after eating to the end. Taking advantage of people not paying attention, it secretly topped the porcelain plate and flew out.

Awei opened its mouth and bit its tail, dragging the Third Prince to a stop in mid-air.

"What are you doing? What are you doing? Let me go, I want to send it to Sister Eying! Ouch! Boss, why!"

"Isn't your Sister Eying right here?" Liang Qu held the charcoal pen and knocked a brain-collapse.

The little Xiao Xiao Shenlong turned its head in surprise, found that Long Eying was looking at itself, smiled awkwardly, and was about to put down the porcelain plate, but its brain turned, and it flew to the top of its head again: "I want to send it to the Great Master!"

"Thank you, Third Donor."

"Ah?"

The top of the little Xiao Xiao Shenlong's head felt light, and it watched helplessly as its porcelain plate was taken away and put back on the table.

"Great Master!"

Everyone bowed.

The old monk shook his head: "You eat yours."

Liang Qu looked around, didn't see the Zhang Longxiang Wu Sheng, turned his head and continued to draw: "Great Master, is the Zhang Longxiang Wu Sheng here?"

"Waiting for you to recover."

Some people didn't know why, some people knew what was going on.

Creation for creation.

Still have one 【Dragon Slaying】 not returned.

To go without coming is not etiquette; to come without going is also not etiquette.

"Alright, roughly like this!"

Liang Qu dropped the charcoal pen.

Everyone looked up.

White wall and black painting, there is a four-grid on it, simple black lines outline the clouds, tides, reefs, the main body is two water birds, and the dialogue of the two water birds is filled in the cloud-like square frame.

"Where are we flying to?"

"I plan to go to the pier to get some fries later."

"You misunderstood me, buddy. I'm talking about the ultimate goal of our life, in the final analysis, what is it for to live?"

"For getting some fries at the pier later."

The simple dialogue revealed a bit of humor, making the water bird that answered look not very smart, but no one could say that a water bird is not smart.

The Wonderful Winged Bird beside the table swallowed the fries, lowered its head and touched the porcelain plate,

Ta Ta Kai pinched the bird's head with one claw.

The porcelain plate was tilted by the wings, spinning on the table with a clatter.

"So that's it—..."

Yuan muttered, sat down cross-legged.

He realized.

Liang Qu wiped his hands.

"The assembly is about to start, let's go." ===== CHAPTER 949 =====
