Chapter 373 Potato Banquet

The guards were rearranged to weigh the objects. Emperor Yongshun and several ministers crowded in the front to check the weight, and then reported it to Butler Chen for record. Several people also stood beside Butler Chen, staring at him as he wrote, fearing that he might make a mistake.

They weighed the baskets one by one again, and several people gathered together to calculate the weight. The total weight they calculated was 601 kilograms, which included the baskets, so the weight just now was correct.

"Hahaha!"

"That's right, that's right, it really is over 580 kilograms."

"Hahaha! God bless our Great Viet, we won't have to go hungry anymore! Haha!"

"........."

Suddenly, Emperor Yongshun and a group of ministers laughed like crazy.

The servants of the county lady's mansion were also very happy. Was the county lady a god who could grow such high-yield crops? They were proud of it because they were from the county lady's mansion and planted potatoes with the county lady.

After everyone was happy, Emperor Yongshun directed everyone and said, "Hurry up, dig out the other potatoes and see how many pounds you can dig out."

There are three more ridges of land behind, and Zheng Sisi can already guess the approximate number. Seeing so many people there, he thought they would not leave for a while, so he thought of treating everyone to a potato feast later. One cannot just look at the yield without knowing how to eat it.

She called Sheng Zhen, and the two of them came to the side of Emperor Yongshun.

Zheng Sisi said, "Your Majesty, you see everyone has high hopes for potatoes, but no one has eaten them and doesn't know if they taste good. I would like to invite everyone to a potato feast in my mansion at noon today to let everyone know how potatoes are eaten."

After hearing what Zheng Sisi said, Emperor Yongshun's eyes lit up, and he said, "Yes, to make everyone completely convinced, you can only know after you have eaten it. Then please, Sisi, please make the arrangements. Your uncle is waiting to enjoy the potato feast, hehe!"

Zheng Sisi said, "Then let the Third Prince stay here with you. I will take people back to prepare."

Emperor Yongshun nodded and said, "Okay, Sisi, make fewer potatoes. Do you want to save some for seeds?"

Zheng Sisi wanted to laugh when she saw the emperor wanted to eat but was reluctant to do so. She said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I know. I have planted several acres of land on the two farms. It should be enough for potato planting."

Emperor Yongshun nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, Si is still thoughtful. Go and do your work, don't worry about the emperor uncle."

After bidding farewell to the emperor, Zheng Sisi arranged for the guards to carry the potatoes back to the yard and put them in the side room she had arranged in advance. She took a few maids to take a walk in the sweet potato field and picked a lot of sweet potato tips to use for cooking later.

She went around the watermelon field again and found the first few big watermelons that had grown. Each watermelon weighed more than ten pounds. She knocked on them and they made a "bang bang bang" sound. Judging from the sound, they must be ripe. She picked four or five, and then picked two big pumpkins. She called the guard to bring the empty baskets to carry the things back.

Back in the front yard, Zheng Sisi asked the guard to carry a load of potatoes to the kitchen, and the rest were piled in the side room. The windows had been closed tightly in advance and covered with a layer of cloth to block out the sunlight. The weather is hot now, and in the absence of sunlight, the potatoes will sprout soon, and then the second batch can be planted.

Arriving at the kitchen, Zheng Sisi asked the maids to put the watermelon in the ice cellar and wait for it to cool down so that everyone could eat the watermelon after dinner.

In the kitchen, Nanny Gui received the news that the county lady would invite everyone to dinner, and she had already started working with the cooks. There were dozens of ministers coming, and there were so many people in the mansion who needed to eat, so they had to prepare early.

Zheng Sisi called a few cooks to help process the potatoes. She took out a few iron peelers from the space and taught them to peel off a thin layer of potato skin.

She went to prepare other necessary ingredients. She planned to make braised potatoes with meat, fried potato slices with meat, braised pork ribs with potatoes, braised chicken with potatoes, steamed potatoes, baked potatoes, stewed potatoes with child bones, shredded potatoes with vinegar, candied potatoes, French fries, fried potato chips... It was too troublesome to make snacks with potatoes, so she only made a potato pancake.

Zheng Sisi named more than a dozen dishes in a row, and the kitchen was filled with the sounds of slurping and breathing.

The cooks were shocked to hear that potatoes can be used to make so many dishes. What a treasure! At the same time, they also had a strong understanding that their county master was omnipotent. There was nothing that the county master could not do, except what you could not think of.

Under everyone's admiring eyes, Zheng Sisi directed everyone to process the various necessary ingredients. There is strength in numbers.

Zheng Sisi prepared the dishes for the emperor and the ministers first, and the people in the mansion could eat later.

As time goes by, all kinds of aromas waft out of the kitchen, making people salivate.
