EBE Chapter 192 So many fruits were unexpectedly unearthed!
Chapter 192 So many fruits were unexpectedly unearthed!
There were still many fruits left in the yard. Since we were just idling around anyway, we might as well study these fruits.
So she took the fruit and ran into the kitchen.
After an afternoon of research, she prepared four dishes and a soup.
Just as it was time for dinner, she brought the dishes up.
Luo Die and Xianyu returned from outside carrying hoes. Since they moved to the countryside, they had rented farmland to grow some vegetables.
Luo's father's health has been declining recently, and Xianyu is taking care of him at home, not wanting him to be too tired.
However, he felt unwell not long after he had some free time, since he was idle anyway.
So they rented a piece of land and planted some crops, some for their own consumption and some to sell.
Luo Nanzhi and Xianyu couldn't persuade him, so they could only let him go.
Now the sun is setting, and we're heading home.
When the two returned to the yard, they found that the dishes had already been prepared.
The aroma was irresistible, and after a busy afternoon, they were instantly hungry.
At this moment, Luo Nanzhi had already served the rice and placed it on the table.
After washing their hands, the two sat down on the benches in the yard.
Then they discovered that the dishes on the table were ones they had never seen before. What kind of dishes look like this?
"What dish is this made of?" asked Luo's father, who had to admit it smelled quite delicious.
Luo Nanzhi didn't keep them in suspense, "It's made from the fruit I brought back today."
The two were surprised, "Can we eat this?"
The two still remember the scene where she took a bite and immediately spat it out, and they were very skeptical about it.
"Don't worry, Father, I tasted the dishes when I was cooking this afternoon, and they tasted excellent and go very well with other dishes!"
Luo Nanzhi was full of confidence, but she never mentioned that she had doubts about the fruit when she was cooking in the kitchen and hesitated for a long time before daring to taste it.
"This fruit tastes good no matter how you cook it. I just stir-fried it briefly, and it tasted amazing!"
The two of them still trusted her quite a bit; every time she tinkered with these strange and unusual things, she always managed to bring surprises to the people around her.
Seeing the delicious aroma emanating from the table, they swallowed hard, then hesitantly picked up a piece with their chopsticks and put it in their mouths.
The texture is delicate and soft, surprisingly good.
Seeing their surprise, Luo Nanzhi thoughtfully explained, "I found that this thing tastes good no matter how it's cooked, so I fried, stir-fried, and boiled it to make four dishes, and I also used it to make a soup. You should all try it."
The two were shocked, never expecting that all four dishes and one soup on the table were made from it.
However, it must be said that this fruit was very appetizing, and the three of them silently ate two large bowls.
"I didn't expect this fruit to be so delicious!"
I was so full after eating.
Surprisingly, this fruit was very filling; they were already stuffed after eating just two large bowls.
Looking at the food on the table that had been completely eaten, Luo Nanzhi had a new idea in her mind.
So the next morning, she carried a basket and a hoe to the spot where she had been the day before. There were still many of the same green leaves growing there. She simply pulled them out, and then used the hoe to dig out the remaining fruits that hadn't been pulled out.
She really didn't expect there to be so many fruits in this area. One plant could produce so many fruits; there was simply too much to eat!
The area above the ridges was only a small part; many of these fruits were growing on that abandoned farmland.
This area of farmland is backed by steep mountains, making it unsuitable for planting. It also doesn't retain water well, and the soil is infertile. Even if crops are planted, the yield is low, so it has been abandoned and looks like it has been abandoned for a long time.
I never imagined that such a place, which doesn't look like fertile land, could produce so many large fruits.
It's no wonder, no one noticed this farmland. Just looking at the leaves of this crop, it really does look like a weed.
Luo Nanzhi had learned to cook so many dishes from her father and had seen many delicacies, but she had never seen a fruit like this before.
She didn't know what this fruit was called. Seeing that it was growing in the ground, with vines and leaves like beans and roots like chicken eggs, she named it "potato" herself.
As she pondered a name, she hoeed the ground, and the basket on her back was soon full.
Luo Nanzhi took a three-day break and cooked potatoes for every meal at home, trying out all sorts of different methods. She never got tired of eating potatoes.
Over these three days, she came to understand the characteristics of this potato.
High yield, drought resistant, easy to store, and can grow even in poor soil...
Just as everyone was looking at this, a loud "bang" suddenly rang out from inside the pavilion!
Everyone immediately looked away from their books and towards the center of the pavilion.
They saw Zhao Taifu, who was originally sitting in the center of the pavilion, suddenly slap the table in front of him excitedly. He seemed to be losing control of his emotions, and his eyes were red. They didn't know if it was because he was excited.
Everyone was puzzled, but Zhao Taifu had already lost his composure. He couldn't contain his emotions when he saw what was described in the storybook, so he slammed his hand on the table.
Sun Xianren, who was standing to the side, understood his feelings at that moment. Although he was also moved when he saw the text, his reaction was much better than that of Zhao Taifu.
So he quickly found a reason for Zhao Taifu and explained Zhao Taifu's behavior to his subordinates.
Then, regardless of whether the people below believed him or not, he continued to take charge of the overall situation and told everyone to keep watching.
At this moment, Grand Tutor Zhao regained his composure and calmed down.
With a trembling, excited heart, I continued reading.
However, Lance Nian, who was below, keenly noticed that Zhao Taifu was unusual, but he did not show it.
It's just something described in a storybook; it's unknown whether such a thing exists in reality. So why Grand Tutor Zhao became so excited after seeing this potato.
Lance pressed down his doubts.
At this point, Luo Nanzhi in the book is about to set off back to the city.
Although they were supposed to stay at home for three days, it was actually only two and a half days. Luo Nanzhi and Xianyu were reluctant to part, but they still had to separate.
It would take Luo Nanzhi half a day to travel, so she carried a basket of potatoes on her back and added some seasonings to her small bag.
The people riding in the oxcart with her wondered what was in her basket. It looked heavy, and they were surprised that such a thin woman could carry such a large basket.
However, the basket was tightly covered by a floral cloth, and no one along the way knew what was inside.
Luo Nanzhi successfully returned to the prefect's residence with her basket on her back.
Some of the servants in the manor who knew her were very puzzled when they saw her return carrying a large basket of things.
Ignoring their stares, Luo Nanzhi carried the basket to her small kitchen.
Now that she's back today, she'll naturally be in charge of preparing dinner.
But a short while later, a servant from the front hall came to the kitchen to give her instructions.
It turned out that guests had come to the prefect's residence that day, so the prefect asked her to prepare a meal to entertain them.
