Chapter 304 Tomato and Egg Drop Soup
County Magistrate Xiao started eating first, and then the others started eating with their bowls and chopsticks.
Teacher Yang couldn't wait to pick up a piece of the sugar-coated potato closest to her. When she picked up the potato, she immediately understood why it was called sugar-coated potato.
Really good at pulling out the silk!
She put it to her mouth and tasted it carefully. It was covered with syrup on the outside, and the potatoes inside were soft but delicate. The texture and taste were much better than sweet potatoes. Coupled with the sweet taste on the outside, it tasted indescribably delicious. It was delicious!
Li Zheng picked up a piece of potato from the roast chicken. The potato piece covered with sticky soup tasted so delicious. There were too many spices and she couldn't tell what the potato itself tasted like, but it was definitely delicious.
County Magistrate Xiao also ate the potatoes from the roast chicken. They were delicious, but she was no longer interested in the meal. She just wanted to finish it quickly so that she could go to the vegetable garden to see the sight.
There was one thing that confused her: how could such a good thing happen to her?
Although this report will still be passed to the Qingzhou prefect first, her name will be included in the report that is finally submitted to the empress.
She ate the meal very quickly. After she finished, she saw Teacher Yang started to eat his second bowl of rice, so she had to scoop a bowl of tomato egg drop soup and drink it slowly. As soon as she took the first sip, her eyes lit up.
Delicious!
This soup is completely different from what we usually drink. It is sweet and sour and very appetizing. I couldn't help but finish the soup and asked Tongfu who was waiting next to me to get half a bowl of rice.
The four of them finished all six dishes plus a bowl of soup. Teacher Yang leaned back in his chair after finishing his meal, touching his belly which was so bloated that it couldn't get any bigger, with a very satisfied look on his face.
"I haven't eaten so much in a long time. Mr. Lin, your food is really amazing."
As he said this, he gave Lin Jiaojiao a thumbs up, and then looked heartbroken.
"If I had known this last time, I would have shamelessly stayed to eat before leaving. I actually missed such a delicious meal. What a shame."
Lin Jiaojiao remembered that when the school was repaired and the formalities were being processed last time, Teacher Yang came once. At that time, she politely asked him to stay for lunch before leaving, but he was in a hurry to go back, so she gave up.
"Hahaha, it's okay. Lord Xiao, Lord Yang, next time you want to eat, you can go to Zhiwei Restaurant. We'll give you 20% off at the friendship price."
Teacher Yang often went to Nanshan Zhiwei Restaurant to eat roasted whole rabbit, so he was happy to hear this.
"Okay, okay, Miss Lin is so righteous. Since it's a friendship price, I'll take advantage of you."
Teacher Yang's family was originally wealthy in Nanshan City. After she passed the imperial examination, her family used their connections to arrange a sinecure for her in Chongkan Town. She had done more work in the past five years in the past month than she had done in the past five years.
Lin Jiaojiao felt closer when she heard the name, but she didn't act pretentiously.
"Sister Yang, feel free to take it, and Sister Xiao, please don't be polite."
County Magistrate Xiao laughed when he heard this and said, "You still call me sister at my age?"
"Ah? I can't tell. Sister Xiao looks like she's thirty years old."
Who doesn't like to hear these nice words? County Magistrate Xiao was very happy to hear them, but he did not forget his business.
"Thank you for the hospitality, Mr. Lin. I want to go and see how the potatoes are being planted. Is that convenient for you, Mr. Lin?"
"Of course it's convenient. It's a good way to walk and help digestion."
But when the group was walking under the sun, Lin Jiaojiao felt that the food might not have been digested yet and they had heatstroke first. When she was about to ask Lan Yi to get four umbrellas, Lan Jiu had already come over with an umbrella.
Lin Jiaojiao distributed umbrellas to them, and then they walked east together holding the umbrellas. The 30-acre potato base was not inside the farm, but not far behind the park.
It took us nearly a quarter of an hour to arrive. The first thing that caught our eye was a hollowed-out field with a large number of wilted green vine leaves piled up on the edge of the field. However, we could still see a large area of lush green leaves behind the field.
"It seems that they are still quick. The first batch is almost finished. Sir Xiao, we will be able to see it if we go a little further inside."
County Magistrate Xiao had already walked to the edge of the field and was looking at the piled vine leaves, saying with emotion.
"It really looks like a sweet potato, but I wonder if it's the same underneath?"
Lin Jiaojiao listened without answering and led the people inside. After walking about fifty meters, they came to the dividing line. She went down the ridge and came to the edge of the vegetable leaves. She looked left and right for the fallen hoe but couldn't find it. It seemed that the workers did not have the problem of losing things.
She said to County Magistrate Xiao who had followed her, "I don't have a hoe, but the soil is soft so I should be able to dig it with my hands."
As he said this, he handed the umbrella to Lan Yi, bent down and prepared to pull out the potato like a carrot. He grabbed the stem with both hands and pulled upwards with force. With a click, the stem broke but the potato was not pulled out.
This is awkward.
County Magistrate Xiao smiled and said, "Let me do it."
Lin Jiaojiao immediately made room, and County Magistrate Xiao leaned down, grabbed the root of the stem, and gently swung it upwards and left and right, pulling it. After a while, he pulled out all the potatoes underneath. However, there were only four potatoes hanging on it, and some were broken in the soil.
County Magistrate Xiao held the potatoes close to his eyes and looked at them. "These potatoes are indeed very similar to sweet potatoes. From the sound just now, it seems that some of them are still in the soil. It seems that the yield is higher than that of sweet potatoes."
Upon hearing this, a guard following behind them walked directly to the place where County Magistrate Xiao had just pulled out potatoes, dug the soil with his hands, and dug out the broken potatoes.
"Your Excellency dug out three here."
County Magistrate Xiao took a look at the potatoes that the guards had dug up. These three were obviously larger than the four hanging on the stems in her hands.
She nodded with satisfaction and said, "One plant produces seven, which is more than twice as much as sweet potatoes. If this food is widely planted, I don't know how many people's food and clothing problems can be solved, and it can also solve the problem of food shortage in border defense camps."
Of course Lin Jiaojiao understood what she meant and immediately continued speaking along with her words.
"That's great. I'm willing to donate some potato seeds to help our Chaoqi country so that our common people and frontier soldiers can have enough food."
County Magistrate Xiao looked at her excitedly. It was actually true. This good thing really happened to her.
"Mr. Lin's righteousness!"
Teacher Yang watched silently from the side, and admired Lin Jiaojiao sincerely in his heart for giving such a good thing without hesitation.
She looked around again. From a distance, the houses next to her really looked like a small town, but at the end of the potato plantations on the other side, there were rows of sorghum stalks?
She pointed at what looked like sorghum stalks and asked, "What's growing over there?"
Lin Jiaojiao was still being modest. When she heard Teacher Yang's voice, she turned around and looked in the direction of her finger.
"Oh, that's corn, also brought back from the extra mission. It will be ready for harvest in a month. My stepmother will come to inspect the results then."
The others immediately understood what he meant. County Magistrate Xiao was not a greedy person, so she no longer paid attention to the corn issue and focused on asking about potato planting.
This potato was already a pleasant surprise.
