"Fengzi, what do these potatoes taste like?"
Li Shimin picked up a piece of potato and looked at Zhang Feng with a puzzled expression. He had eaten too much hot pot, so he couldn't completely taste the potatoes.
"The taste of potatoes is a little sweet."
Zhang Feng glanced at the bottom of the pot, then looked at Li Shimin and said, "The reason why you think it tastes like hot pot is because you've eaten too much hot pot. Also, potatoes are like this. The taste depends on the seasoning you put in them."
Li Shimin nodded. "So that's how it is."
Zhang Feng glanced at everyone and said, "Okay, now let's go and see where the potatoes are planted."
After saying that, he waved his hand and walked out of the door.
Li Shimin led everyone and followed closely behind. They had been looking forward to the potatoes for a long time.
The group sat in a carriage at the foot of the mountain. Zhang Feng glanced at the endless land and turned to Li Shimin. "Lao Li, look, these are the potatoes I asked people to plant."
Li Shimin looked at the ground with some puzzlement, then looked at Zhang Feng and asked, "Where are the potatoes?"
"The potatoes are all in the soil."
Zhang Feng smiled and turned to look at the workers at the side. "Go and dig up the potatoes in the ground."
As soon as he finished speaking, the workers who had been waiting for a long time moved. They held hoes in their hands and began to cultivate the soil. After a while, strings of golden potatoes jumped out of the soil.
Cheng Yaojin's eyes were sharp and his hands were fast. He reached out and grabbed one at random and laughed. "Haha, these are f * cking potatoes."
Li Shimin quickly went forward and picked up a fist-sized potato from the ground. He turned to look at Zhang Feng and asked, "These potatoes are so convenient. Can they be used as military rations?"
Obviously, this was the question he was most concerned about. The Battle of Qiuci was tense and had consumed a lot of food. However, if they had such food, they might be able to alleviate the food shortage.
Cheng Yaojin also looked at Zhang Feng with a solemn expression. As a military commander, he naturally attached great importance to these matters.
Zhang Feng naturally knew what everyone was thinking, but it was winter now. It was already good enough that they were able to grow potatoes. How could they be used as army rations? This was simply not enough, unless there was a greenhouse …
With that thought in mind, he looked at Li Shimin and smiled, "The winter harvest is low, so potatoes can't be used as military rations …"
Li Shimin and Cheng Yaojin's hearts skipped a beat.
The situation at the frontlines was already tense, and they were running out of rations. If potatoes couldn't be used as rations, what would happen to the frontlines?
Just as the two of them were feeling despondent, Zhang Feng's voice rang out again, "Although it can't be used as rations for the army now, it can still be improved slightly …"
"What do you mean?"
Cheng Yaojin suddenly grabbed Zhang Feng and said excitedly, "What did you mean just now?"
"Let go of me first."
Zhang Feng shook Cheng Yaojin's hand. Only then did the latter react. After letting go, he slowly said, "Potatoes are a spring plant. It's not suitable to grow them in winter. It's already very difficult to grow them now, so the yield is very low. However, if you want to produce more, you have to raise the temperature."
Raise the temperature?
Li Shimin was a little confused.
How could they raise the temperature?
It was already winter, and it was unusually cold. Did they have to change the weather?
That was also impossible.
After thinking about it, he had no choice but to say, "Fengzi, how can you raise the temperature?"
Zhang Feng glanced at the surrounding open space, then looked at Li Shimin and said, "Actually, it's not difficult. You just have to build something like a shed and then light a fire inside. As long as the temperature inside the shed is about the same as spring, then you can plant the potatoes inside. This way, when the temperature inside the shed is raised, the yield of potatoes will naturally increase."
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and do it. "
Cheng Yaojin was anxious like a child.
"You think I don't want to?"
Zhang Feng rolled his eyes at Cheng Yaojin, then slowly said, "The shed needs to be covered with a layer of film. This thing hasn't been developed yet. We can only use the shed when it's developed."
Cheng Yaojin hurriedly said, "Then hurry up and develop it."
"I'm going to Jiangnan soon. How can I have time?"
Zhang Feng glared at Cheng Yaojin, then said, "Although I don't have time now, this thing can be given to Iron Bull to do."
"Me?"
Cheng Chumo widened his eyes and pointed at himself in disbelief.
He had been standing there watching the show, and he never thought that the topic would be about him.
In the end, this Fengzi just had to talk about him. He could only ask with a confused face, "Fengzi, what can I do?"
"Yes, Fengzi, what can Iron Bull do? You'd better give the task to someone else. "
Zhangsun Wuji stood up. He glanced at Cheng Chumo, then his eyes fell on Zhang Feng, "You should give such a difficult task to Buggy."
