Meng Changshan and the other Iron Eagle Guards were also shocked by the yield of potatoes.
What could be more auspicious than a yield of more than forty stones per mu?
No!
Even if Wang Teng told them that the potatoes were immortal food that fell from the sky, they would still nod and believe him.
In fact…it seemed similar?
Fortunately, with the help of the Iron Eagle Guards, they were much faster.
The subsequent crops were also picked.
Corns, peppers, tomatoes, watermelons…
Especially watermelons!
Each of them was very heavy.
It was indeed a necessary fruit to quench one's thirst.
It was much more delicious than peaches and oranges.
Because of the lack of techniques such as transplanting, many fruits in the Qin Dynasty did not taste as good as those in the later generations.
Those who had eaten wild peaches knew that they were a little sour.
Qin Shihuang liked watermelons very much. They were both sandy and sweet.
Half a pill in the middle of the day was too satisfying.
The last time he saw Wang Teng eating with a spoon, he learned the same thing.
Not to mention, half of it was his. It was even more satisfying to eat!
Meng Yi and Li Xin would get the other half.
The emperor definitely had some privileges.
It was very unfriendly to Qin Shihuang to cut it into pieces and eat it.
He had a full beard, and after eating, his beard was a little sticky, making him very uncomfortable.
Eating with a spoon felt better!
After about two hours, they were all harvested and counted.
Li Si's hands trembled as he held the list.
If he hadn't calculated it himself, he wouldn't have believed it.
"How is it?"
"The yield of corn per mu…is estimated to reach twelve piculs!”
Actually, corn was better than potatoes.
After the corn was dried and shelled, it could be stored for a long time.
Store it in a dry and well-vented place for more than half a year.
In addition, it could also be made into noodles, porridge, and cornbread.
The taste of the pure cornbread was not bad, and the key was that it could resist hunger.
Every time Li Si announced his intentions, it would cause an uproar!
The eyes of these big-headed soldiers turned red.
No one cried out in pain when they dug with their hands until their skin was broken.
They were even competing to see who could dig faster and who could dig more.
As for watermelons, tomatoes, and peppers, they could not be calculated per mu.
The main reason was that Wang Teng did not plant much.
Moreover, was the yield per mu high for chili peppers?
In addition, this was an auxiliary ingredient, a dish!
He didn't need to plant too much. He just needed to plant a little in the vegetable garden and have enough for himself.
The excess could be dried into chili or marinated into chili sauce.
Now, Wang Teng only needed to cough lightly, and someone would immediately come over to bring him tea and water.
With potatoes, Great Qin's 20 million or so people would no longer have to worry about starving.
Wang Teng was a Great Sage. In the future, he would be called…the Potato Sage?!
…………
It was time for dinner.
The army began to cook, and smoke rose from the bamboo house.
Wang Ben and the others had brought a lot of fresh ingredients from the base of the mountain, including beef.
Even though it was illegal to kill cows in Great Qin, Old Zhao was the Emperor, so he had the privilege of eating beef.
Wang Teng thought for a moment. How about a pot of beef stewed with potatoes?!
Just thinking about it made him drool!
More than 2,000 catties of newly unearthed potatoes, plus some of the previous stocks, totaled more than 3,000 catties. They were all prepared to be used for planting, but eating a few was not a problem.
Wang Ben, Li Si, and the others were all upset when they heard that Wang Teng wanted to eat potatoes.
Don't you understand the logic of starving parents to death?
However, Wang Teng ignored them. He chose a few good and big ones and cooked them directly.
Seeing that the potatoes were already in the pot, everyone did not say anything else. Instead, they were curious about what the auspicious taste of forty-three dan per mu was.
With such a small pot, it seemed that no more than ten people would be able to eat potatoes today.
Only Old Zhao, Wang Teng, Li Si, Wang Ben, Wang Wan, Meng Yi, and Li Xin were qualified. Even Meng Changshan was not qualified.
As for Zhao Gao, he had obviously lost the right to do so.
"Auspicious, I wonder what that smell is?”
"You want to eat?"
"This is something that immortals eat. I don't have the luck to do so, haha!”
Some soldiers couldn't help but discuss.
At this moment, a rich fragrance assaulted his nose.
"What is this smell? It smells so good!"
"It's floating over from His Majesty's side.”
"It's auspicious! It smells so good!"
At this moment, everyone looked at the bamboo house.
The aroma of stewed beef with potatoes made everyone who smelled it swallow their saliva.
Even Wang Teng was swallowing his saliva, let alone them.
After transmigrating for ten years, Wang Teng had not even eaten beef once.
One had to know that this was Wang Teng's favorite!
Beside Wang Teng, the ten or so imperial chefs were also staring at him with wide eyes.
The fragrance of an immortal cooking personally was simply drifting for ten miles!
Soon, the stewed beef with potatoes was ready, and the other dishes were also cooked.
Let's eat!
Looking at the large pot of Auspicious Stewed Beef on the table, Wang Wan almost dropped her chopsticks.
Qin Shihuang sat in the main seat while he sat on the leftmost side.
Meanwhile, Wang Teng casually moved a stool and sat beside Qin Shihuang.
Old Zhao picked up a piece of potato and threw it into his mouth to taste it carefully. He kept nodding and looked like he was enjoying it.
Teng Wang also eagerly picked up a large piece of beef and began to chew.
Seeing this, the others dared to move their chopsticks.
"This potato tastes very smooth and doesn't take much effort to chew.”
"Paired with this beef soup, it's simply delicious.”
After Li Si spoke, Wang Wan only nodded.
"Cai!" Wang Ben praised after he ate it!
The texture of the potatoes was not bad. They were indeed suitable for food and vegetables.
