Chapter 147: tomato
Everyone understood immediately.
Dugu Huanxu glanced at the cotton quilt just made, and said, "Ashan, can I borrow your quilt?"
"Huh? Are you going to show your parents?"
"No... no, show it to His Royal Highness Li Wang. If you want to cooperate with him in the future, you must always let him see the finished product."
"That's right." Nangong Anshan thought for a while, and said, "Why don't you wait a few days, I'll weave a part of the cotton cloth, and then I'll weave the silk satin with patterns, and then you can give it to His Royal Highness Li Wang Let's see."
Dugu Huanxu nodded: "That's fine, anyway, we will stay here for the next few days, Feng Yuan and I will help you together."
"Um."
"But where does your cotton come from?"
Nangong Anshan coughed lightly, without changing her face, said: "I bought it from a passing merchant before, the people in Liwang's fiefdom don't know cotton, and that person doesn't have any business, so I bought them all, and there are quite a few more. By the way, he also gave me the seeds and told me how to plant them, so I planted four acres of cotton, all in my field."
Dugu Huanxu excitedly said: "In other words, cotton grows from the ground?"
"yes."
"You also have seeds?"
"Yes, there are quite a few."
"Great, really great."
Shen Kaiyu said: "However, it will take a lot of time to promote this cotton. The price at the beginning may not be too cheap, after all, rare things are expensive."
Nangong Anshan said: "Don't worry, I planted this for the common people. The price must be affordable by ordinary people. But it must be more expensive than cotton. After all, it is expensive to grow cotton, pick cotton, and process cotton. Less manpower and material resources."
Shen Kaiyu said: "You are right, if it is too cheap, you will lose money."
"Yes, but if someone wants to plant in the future, they can also buy seeds from me. When there are more people planting, the price of cotton will naturally go down."
"That's true." Seeing that it was getting late, Dugu Huanxu said seriously: "Cousin, Ah Yan, Ah Shen, you go back to my house first, Feng Yuan and I stay here to help Ah Shan Quickly weave both cotton cloth and silk with flowers."
Xiao Ruiyan was about to speak, when Nangong Anshan suddenly said, "Everyone is here, so let's all stay here for dinner."
Xiao Rui said: "Ashan, we only ate the dishes you made at noon. This is too much trouble for you. You have worked very hard this afternoon. There are so many of us, and you have to cook a lot of dishes."
Nangong Anshan said with a smile: "So I decided to make a no-hassle dish tonight. After lunch at noon, I ordered other people to prepare for the evening meal. Now the preparation is almost done, just cook the food. Yes, just stay."
Dugu Huanxu and his team were stunned, just cook the food?
Do you only have one soup dish tonight?
It’s okay, Nangong Anshan’s craftsmanship is good, even if it’s a dish, it probably tastes good.
Nangong Anshan went to the kitchen, and seeing that the dishes were ready, she put all the dishes in the pot in order and started cooking.
It didn't take long for people in the yard to smell the fragrance.
"What's that smell? I've never smelled it before."
"It smells good, I like the smell."
"It feels like a sweet and sour taste."
…
Not long after, Nangong Anshan sent someone to bring out the food and put it in the center of the table.
Several servants brought out many bowls filled with oil.
Dugu Huanxu stepped forward to take a look, each bowl was full of sesame oil, with green onion and garlic added.
Xiao Ruishen asked: "What is this?"
Nangong Anshan said: "This is the tomato pot I made, which contains a lot of vegetables and meat, as well as shiitake mushrooms and fungus."
As she said that, she took a piece of mutton out of the pot, put it in the oil bowl, and ate it in one bite, "That's how it is eaten. Not only onions and garlic are added to the oil bowl, but also salt is added. I like sugar and mutton." Vinegar can also be added, I like sweet and sour flavor, so I added it, you all don’t look at it, come and try it.”
Originally, she wanted to make it into a clear soup hot pot, but she prepared it in a hurry today, and some things were not ready, so she had to cook them all and serve them out.
Tomatoes are unlocked by the system when the merit value reaches 27. She liked the taste of tomatoes in her previous life, so she found time to make tomato sauce, and this time it just came in handy.
Dugu Huanxu and the others were amazed that they could still eat like this.
Nangong Anshan went to push Yang Ruolan out. Seeing that everyone was still standing, she said, "You're welcome. Today's food is a bit simple. When I have a chance, I'll make you other delicious food."
Dugu Huanxu said: "Ashan, you are being polite, you are the master, we will not dislike anything you give us."
After speaking, let others sit down together.
Yang Ruolan took a slice of yam and put it in the sesame oil bowl, then ate it in one bite, and nodded: "Not bad, the taste is very good."
Nangong Anshan smiled and said, "Aniang, it's just as long as you like it. If you like the taste of tomatoes, you can eat them when the dishes are cold. They are also delicious."
"it is good."
Others also began to try it.
"Not bad, the taste is very special."
"It's delicious, it's delicious."
"Eating like this is really fresh, delicious and convenient."
Nangong Anshan said: "As long as you like it."
Dugu Huanxu ate for a while and asked, "What are tomatoes?"
Nangong Anshan took out the tomatoes from the kitchen, and said, "That's it, the color in this pot comes from it, and I bought it from a passing merchant. A book I read before said how Eat tomatoes, so this time, I made it while there were many people.”
Although it is not the season for tomatoes to ripen, they don't know about tomatoes, so it's okay to take them out now.
"So that's how it is." Dugu Huanxu took a look at the tomatoes and asked, "Do you have any seeds? Tomatoes taste good too. If they can be planted and promoted, the dining tables of the common people will be richer in the future."
"Of course I can. I'll plant it when I'm done with my work. But it's cold now, so I don't think it will be successful. I'll have to wait until next year when the weather is warmer."
"That is also a matter of no choice, only to wait slowly."
…
The next day, the weather turned cooler.
Nangong Anshan wore an extra dress today, and handed over the weaving to Yingqin. Seeing that she had completely mastered the weaving method, she left her alone for the time being, and went to make cotton clothes for her family.
She doesn't know when it will snow, so she prepares the cotton clothes as soon as possible so that the family will not be frozen earlier.
