The potato digging ceremony was very successful!

Just look at the people in Chang'an City discussing potatoes after dinner.

"Yunlag, today you will reorganize the fleet of Guanshishan Academy's sea adventure, and have worked hard in South America to find potatoes. Then we will start to tell the story of finding potatoes tomorrow."

After returning to Wuheju, Guo Dezhi immediately issued a new order to his closed disciple.

"Master, hasn't this story of looking for potatoes been told by many restaurant storytellers before? Now if you take it out, there will be no new ideas."

Zhu Yunque obviously felt that he should say something that others had not said before, and stories like looking for potatoes were already being told.

"It was before, now is now. How sensational was the potato excavation ceremony this morning? You have seen it. At this time, we have dug out the story of looking for potatoes again and made some adaptations to make the story more ups and downs and more exciting. Isn't it very in line with the current ideas and needs of the people of Chang'an City?

We don’t have to care about so many of this and that, as long as the guests like to listen to the stories we tell, it means that we are successful. On the contrary, it is failure."

Guo Dezhi is a grown-up person and knows how to take advantage of the hot topics.

If I don’t get rid of such a good hot topic today, I’m really sorry for myself.

"It can be cooked, stewed, nested, stewed, eaten alone, and used as a side dish. The potatoes are really rich. Tang Shangshu, the Ministry of Revenue will have a better life in the future."

Li Ji sat next to Tang Jian and touched his belly with emotion.

The food was so full.

I didn’t expect that a simple potato could be eaten so many ways.

This alone is not comparable to corn, wheat and rice.

Of course, this also indirectly shows that Li Ji has not fully understood the uses of wheat and rice.

In later generations, various pasta and rice noodles products were definitely not something that Li Ji could count with his hands and feet.

"Your Ministry of War will have a comfortable life in the future! As long as you slowly promote potato cultivation in the border areas, the army can quickly pass by, whether it is Youzhou or Liangzhou, whether it is Fuqicheng or Suzhou, and there is no need to worry about food and grass shortages.

As long as the military power of the Tang Dynasty can reach in a short period of time, it can give all kinds of sluts sufficient shock, and thus achieve long-term stability of the Tang Dynasty."

Tang Jian was in a good mood today and had a business hype with Li Ji.

Originally, the relationship between the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War was not very good.

The reason is very simple. The Ministry of War always hopes that the Ministry of Revenue can allocate more funds to them to update their equipment, add crossbows and other equipment to the military forts on the frontier, and give the soldiers more favorable treatment.

Anyway, no matter how much money the Ministry of Revenue gives, the Ministry of War will not dislike the small amount.

However, in recent years, the Ministry of Revenue has had a relatively abundant tax revenue, and the military expenditures given to the Ministry of War are also very satisfying.

Therefore, the relationship between the two leaders of Tang Jian and Li Ji naturally began to improve.

"I hope that after the implementation of His Highness the King of Chu's countermeasures, Zhenbei Road can be as stable as Mount Tai, so that it can save a lot of military strength and further expand outward."

Li Ji knew that the Tang Dynasty could not simply expand the scale of its army.

In fact, soldiers like the government soldiers who were farmers in peacetime and soldiers in wartime were the main forces of the Tang Dynasty.

There were still too few professional soldiers in later generations in this era.

The main defense directions of the Tang Dynasty are the northeast, north, northwest and southwest directions.

Now the establishment and development of Liaodong Road and Zhenbei Road has greatly weakened the threats in these two directions, and the Ministry of War can continue to expand the borders of the Tang Dynasty.

"If Zhenbei Road can be as stable as Mount Tai, then the cotton planting area in northern Shuozhou can also expand to Zhenbei Road. With the cultivation of potatoes and cattle and sheep, the frontiers of the Tang Dynasty will no longer be synonymous with poverty. Look at Shuozhou, its tax revenue has now entered the top ten, which is really beyond everyone's expectations."

"It's really amazing. In addition to Chang'an and Luoyang, old tax prefectures, Liangzhou, Dengzhou and Shuozhou are all tax prefectures that have been stolen over the years. In addition, Yangzhou, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Quanzhou and Guangzhou, these are the ten prefectures with the highest tax revenue in the Tang Dynasty."

Li Ji and Tang Jian saw the changes in the Tang Dynasty over the years, and their hearts were naturally filled with joy.

"This potato is so important. Your Highness of the King of Chu now encourages everyone to go to Zhenbei Road to develop. For both public and private, I will arrange for my family to take a trip to Zhenbei Road. Brother Li, then our two families can be classified in adjacent areas, so that we can take care of each other."

As the Minister of Revenue, Tang Jian would have his share when Li Shimin rewarded his meritorious officials.

North Zhendao is too big.

Instead of putting it there and abandoning it and waiting for the Hu people to occupy it, it is better to distribute it to the nobles.

So this time Li Shimin is very generous and has already heard the news that he will reward all the nobles with a piece of land in Zhenbei Road.

"No problem, Brother Tang, you have such a good idea. I'm still thinking about how to mention it to you!"

Li Ji naturally would not reject the olive branch that Tang Jian extended.

...

"Shopkeeper, I bought it! I bought a hundred kilograms of potatoes. Although they were injured and could not be stored for too long, I dare say that this is the first one among the restaurants in Chang'an City that has potato dishes."

With the five-combination in the middle, Pan Wei came to Pan Wang with an excited look on his face.

"Is the Chu Palace actually willing to sell potatoes? Yesterday I originally wanted to find Wang Xuance or Wang Fugui and ask if their potatoes were sold, but I didn't get the correct letter. I didn't expect you to buy them when you went there again today."

Pan Wang looked at Pan Wei with a little surprise.

I bought potatoes, which is good news.

But for a moment, he was a little confused about how the Chu Palace sold him potatoes.

"Not only did I buy potatoes, I also gave me a recipe to tell us how to use potatoes to make dishes. To be honest, I never thought that the people in the Chu Palace would have such a generous day, which was really beyond my expectations."

"What did you say? They also gave away the recipe?"

At this moment, Pan Wang was completely unable to sit still.

Why was Wuheju forced to win by relying on strange special dishes?

It’s not because ordering Dude and Mitsumo can easily get the latest dishes from the Chu Palace, thereby attracting customers to continue to try them.

For new things like potatoes, except for the chefs of the Chu Prince's Mansion, others don't know how to cook them.

Even though Pan Wang had seen it in the "Datang Daily" that there are many ways to eat potatoes, Wuheju still needs to constantly think about how to make them.

But now Pan Wei has actually gotten back the potato recipe, so there is only a lot of time left.

Just give it a simple try and Wuheju can immediately launch a new dish.

By then, the first wine shop in Chang'an City that provides dishes made of potatoes will be Wuheju.

"Yes, shopkeeper, look! These recipes are very clear. As long as you make them step by step, you can make delicious dishes. However, when I bought potatoes, I saw Ainosu and Diandude's purchasing agents, and they also bought a basket of potatoes. I guess the corresponding dishes will be launched soon."

As the top three restaurant shops in Chang'an City, the competition between Diandude, Wuheju and Aizhisu is actually quite fierce.

Of course, Chang'an City has a large market, and no matter how fierce the competition is, it will not make anyone unable to survive.

After all, there must be a few tricks in the restaurants that can sit at this position.

"I inform the guy at Paotang right away that we can start offering dishes made with potatoes today, and the name is directly used on the recipe, but the price is a little higher.

Anyway, the number of potatoes is very limited. Whether it is expensive or cheap, the number of portions that can be sold is relatively fixed. At this time, the higher the unit price, the greater the profit you can get."

Pan Wang is a businessman.

And he is still a very smart businessman.

So, after hearing the news reported by Pan Wei, he immediately made a decision.

"Come on notice now? The chef hasn't tried it yet?"

This time, it was Pan Wei's turn to be surprised.

My shopkeeper, isn't this too anxious?

"Time doesn't wait for me. Just delay it, and Diandude and others will take the lead. This is an unfavorable thing for the development of our Wuheju."

Pan Wang has now had some idea of ​​catching Li Kuan.

Potatoes are a good thing, but apart from the high yield, most people don’t know about the other good potatoes.

At this time, it is very beneficial to release some potatoes to various restaurants.

After all, even if the yield is large, the poor taste and good taste will still have a certain impact on everyone's enthusiasm.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements now and let the guys start introducing the price of new potato dishes to the guests, and strive to gain the reputation of our Wuheju at one time."

After Pan Wei said this, he ran to notify the other guys.

Wuheju successfully became the first tavern in the Tang Dynasty that offered potato dishes, which made Pan Wang show off for a few days.

"But Master, have you prepared another story for me before to give me the content of my first official storytelling?"

Zhu Yunque, who had not been fully beaten by society, was obviously worried about the story he had prepared.

"Let's keep your story later, and tell the story of looking for potatoes tomorrow. However, we need to make some transformations to make it full of twists and turns, so that the rareness of potatoes can be highlighted."

Guo Dezhi made the decision with a decisive result.

During the potato excavation ceremony, after the news of the yield of more than 1,000 kilograms per mu spread, the impact was definitely not just that Guo Dezhi wanted to take advantage of the hot topic.

Not to mention the countless nobles and people were thinking about how to get some seeds of potatoes, Li Shimin, who was smiling and smiling, immediately arranged for the imperial chef to prepare a banquet and prepare for a good celebration.

Any big happy event is always celebrated, and this is the same no matter which era it is.

Before, the imperial chef in the palace had learned how to make potatoes.

However, the number of potatoes before was limited, and only a few ministers had tasted the potatoes.

It's different today.
