Chapter 1103: Roasted Sweet Potato, Vermicelli of Pork and Duck Blood Vermicelli

How powerful is sweet potato? This thing produced at least a dozen stones per mu without the use of chemical fertilizers in ancient times. This is still the production in the barren mountainous area. If it is replaced by mature fields in the south of the Yangtze River, it will be cultivated carefully, and the yield per mu can reach 20-30 stone, which is 35,000 kg.

This number may be nothing in modern times. However, in ancient times without chemical fertilizers and elaborate breeding, 200 kg per mu was normal. The yield of 300 acres is definitely a bumper harvest. Of course, this refers to wheat. In the case of rice, the highest yield of high-quality paddy fields in Jiangnan can reach 500 kg.

Of course, the production capacity of rice per mu reaches 500 kg, as mentioned earlier in this book. This is in addition to the fertile rice fields in the south of the Yangtze River. There are also silt and river water because the carcasses of fish and shrimp in the rivers and lakes of the Jiangnan River bring a lot of phosphorus, which is natural phosphorus fertilizer.

Rice Rice, its plants are soaked in water for a long time. There are many rivers and lakes in the south, and there are many fish and shrimp. After the fish and shrimp die, the phosphorus element will be precipitated and become the fertilizer water beneficial to the crops.

If there is manure, it is okay to pile up some plant ash (potash fertilizer), and then soak the phosphate fertilizer water with fish and shrimp corpses for a long time, and it is not to blame the high yield of rice in Jiangnan.

But even so, 500 kg per mu is very rare in ancient times. The average rice yield per mu is only about 300 kg, while the ordinary yield of wheat is about 200 kg.

Therefore, something like a sweet potato that easily produces 1,000 to several hundred kilograms per mu, or even three to five kilograms per mu, is definitely a nuclear bomb in the ancient agricultural society.

However, even the most powerful crops, because they are new exotic species, people may not be able to quickly accept them. And Marin had been in the country in his previous life and knew there was something called "official promotion" ...

How powerful is the official promotion? It can allow 10,000 acres of good land to be changed to another strange cash crop in a short time, as long as the government makes great efforts.

In the later generations, Marin did not uncommonly have some thoughtful but unreliable officials to make head decisions, blindly instruct farmers to plant some novel crops, grow blueberries in a while, and let kiwis grow in the end ... Finally, because of low market acceptance, farmers Instead, they suffered a lot ...

However, this is modern. Moreover, those officials promoted are generally cash crops, which may not be accepted by others.

But sweet potatoes are different, this thing is food. For the ancients, it was a big deal to be full. Unlike modern people, eating early is not a problem, the problem is how to get rich ...

To make a fortune, sweet potatoes really can't meet this requirement. But if you want to be full, sweet potatoes are absolutely fine ...

Most importantly, sweet potatoes are definitely the best choice in mountainous areas and barren land in the north. For example, the Loess Plateau ...

The loess in the Loess Plateau is not suitable for planting rice and wheat, but sweet potatoes can be grown, no matter how poor, there are more than ten stone production, which is one thousand or more kilograms.

What is the concept of producing more than 1,000 kilograms per mu? In later generations, because of the large population in rural areas, a family can only be allocated a few acres of land, but because the rice per mu yields a few thousand pounds, the wheat yield per mu is also around a thousand pounds. Therefore, even though there are only a few acres of land, the family can eat enough and sell a lot of food. As long as the output per kilogram is large, basically, as long as two or three acres of land, the whole family can be fed. Of course, if you want a house, clothes or something, you need more output ...

The amount of land of ancient people is not comparable to that of modern people. Generally speaking, a family has to have acres of thin land no matter how poor it is. In the northern region, because the yield per mu is low, it is not a problem for a family to own more than 10 mu. Of course, most of them are thin.

But sweet potatoes don't matter, even in thin land, there are more than 10 stones per mu. If ten acres of land, at least 10,000 kilos of sweet potatoes can be harvested! With more than 10,000 pounds of sweet potatoes, how can you starve to death? This is a problem ...

If sweet potatoes are planted on the Loess Plateau, then it is difficult for famine to occur in that region of northern Shaanxi. Even at the end of the Ming dynasty, when the weather is abnormal and sweet potatoes are present, they can still pass. Then, Li Zicheng had nothing to do-everyone had food, and the ghost rebelled with you ...

...

Of course, it is not that simple to let the Ming Dynasty accept sweet potatoes. At least, you have to like sweet potatoes. It doesn't really matter whether people like it or not. Only when the emperor and minister like it will this thing be promoted.

But sweet potatoes are not that hard to eat. For example, roasted sweet potatoes that are very popular in later generations ...

This thing is very popular in later generations, almost every city has uncles selling roasted sweet potatoes. Moreover, the annual income of these uncles is generally tens of thousands of years, and more than a few hundred thousand years. Of course, the premise is that you are a stall, not a store. Otherwise, your hundreds of thousands of profits a year will go to the landlord. Therefore, to sell roasted sweet potatoes, we still need to fight with the city management to save the rent of hundreds of thousands of stores every year. Young people are not good, they will definitely be beaten by the city management. The old man is different, most of the urban management still have a face, and dare not slap the old man. The few who dare to slap the old man are on the news. As for young people, hey, beat you up without consultation ...

Too far away, roasted sweet potatoes are popular in later generations. In fact, they are rare in the city. In fact, in the countryside, if the family grows acres or half acres of sweet potatoes, roasted sweet potatoes can eat vomiting.

However, in this era, the people of the Ming Dynasty were similar to those of later generations, and they had never seen sweet potatoes. Even, sweet potatoes have never been seen. The roasted sweet potatoes are already delicious, as long as the bear child of Zhengde loves to eat, plus the ministers feel good, it has the value of promotion. What's more, the yield per mu is still so high.

...

In addition to roasted sweet potatoes, Marin also intends to come up with another powerful application of sweet potatoes-sweet potato vermicelli ...

Vermicelli is also called a fan, but it is a common food for northerners in later generations. In the Northeast, pork stew vermicelli is the signature dish, and it can be called the Northeastern main dish together with the sauerkraut on Cuihua.

Although Marin had lived in the Jianghuai area since he was a child, he did not eat too many fans. This is because the area north of the Yangtze River and south of the Qinling Huaihe River belongs to the confluence of north and south. Rice, rice **** in the south, noodle flatbread in the north, and vermicelli are common in the Jianghuai region. Moreover, this zone is a rice-wheat rotation area. That is, wheat is grown in winter and harvested in summer. Plant rice after harvesting and harvest in autumn. There are rice and wheat, so people in this area are used to eating rice and pasta. Marin remembered that during the Chinese New Year in his previous life, the dumplings and dumplings were served together. Because of this, after traveling to Europe, Marin can quickly adapt to pasta in Europe ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Otherwise, a pure southerner, used to eating rice, will be very uncomfortable in Europe where he eats pasta.

Therefore, Marin intends to make a classic pork stew vermicelli for Emperor Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty and several important ministers. In addition, peppers will be added to allow the emperors and emperors of the Ming Dynasty to taste the delicacies that dominated the Northeast in a few hundred years ...

Of course, in addition to this way of eating in the Northeast, Marin also intends to recommend a Southern style vermicelli to the Ming Dynasty monarchs-duck blood vermicelli soup ...

It should be noted that this is not the ordinary duck blood vermicelli soup on the streets of later generations, but intends to use the long-simmered old duck soup as the soup base, supplemented by duck blood soup. After all, duck soup is a folk way of eating soup. If you want to impress these Daming monarchs who are used to eating mountain and seafood, it is better to improve the grade ...

...

Roasted sweet potatoes, pork stew noodles, duck blood vermicelli soup, these three famous food festivals come out, do not believe can not impress Daming Junchen. As long as they are impressed, Marin can use sweet potatoes to get enough benefits. At least, it is necessary to get free trade. Can't you pay tribute once every two years like other countries, then the profit is not enough ...

After writing this chapter, I actually starved myself ...
