Chapter 191 Pumpkin [Fourth Update]

Li Lizhi brought back grains and vegetables, all of which were unhusked rice and wheat, and she also bought some sweet potatoes and corn.

As for other vegetables, Chen Wenjiu suggested buying a few pumpkins. The seeds of fully mature pumpkins can be directly taken and planted.

Therefore, some of the grains and vegetables brought back by Li Lizhi can be directly planted with seeds, which can be promoted in the Tang Dynasty.

"When I bought rice and flour, the store manager gave me unhusked rice and wheat. The store manager said that these can still be used as seeds." Li Lizhi pointed to the 100 kilograms of rice and wheat she bought and said.

"Aye, mother, you try this lychee, it's delicious." Li Lizhi shared the fruits she bought with her parents and brothers, "And this mango, you can also eat more bananas, this is called jackfruit..."

Li Shimin quietly took a bite of the mango, and the sweet taste made him very happy. Looking at his daughter's serious look, he could only believe that his daughter was really lucky to be taken away by the gods.

After all, these fruits are very fresh. It takes a long journey to send them from Lingnan to Chang'an, and the fruits are no longer so fresh.

There are so many rice and wheat. Li Shimin doesn't think it's given to his daughter by others. He can only explain it with the gods.

"Aye, this fruit is called pumpkin. The gods said it can be eaten as a vegetable, mixed with noodles to make snacks, or cooked with rice to make porridge."

"After the pumpkin is broken, the seeds inside can be planted. The gods told me that pumpkin can grow several thousand kilograms per acre, and at most three or four thousand kilograms." Li Lizhi said.

"How much do you say?" Li Shimin was stunned by the yield. Is the yield of pumpkin so high?

Li Shimin looked at the big pumpkin with a diameter of half a meter in front of him, thinking that one acre of land can produce several thousand kilograms of fruit. This is simply a divine food.

"Aye, don't worry, this is called potato... this is called sweet potato..." Li Lizhi introduced sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn to her own Aye, so that he could try to grow them.

Of course, the quantity of sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, and pumpkins that Li Lizhi bought was not large, so it was okay to try planting them in the palace first.

Li Shimin was very interested. Li Lizhi only bought a few sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corns. He was reluctant to plant them all, so he kept one of each to taste the taste and planted the rest.

According to what Li Lizhi said, after the sweet potato sprouts, it grows vines, and the sweet potato vines can be cut off and transplanted, so that more sweet potatoes can be planted.

Potatoes and corn are not the same. After they are planted, they cannot be planted more like sweet potato vines, but their yields are still considerable.

Li Shimin had people break open the two large pumpkins to take out the seeds inside, and after cleaning them, they were given to people to plant. The remaining pumpkin meat was sent to the kitchen by Li Shimin, and people tried to add some rice to make porridge or add some flour to make cakes.

The pumpkin porridge tastes very good. Although pumpkin is not as sweet as sweet potato, it also has a light sweetness. The pumpkin porridge is sweet and delicious. Not only Li Shimin and his wife like to eat it, but also the children like to eat it.

Li Shimin has more than just a few children with Empress Changsun, so the pumpkin porridge made in the kitchen is also distributed to his other children.

Two large pumpkins add up to dozens of kilograms. Li Shimin and his wife certainly can't finish them in one meal, and they can't finish them if they are distributed to other children, so they ate pumpkin porridge and pumpkin cakes after eating for about two or three meals.

Li Shimin has more confidence in the crop of pumpkin. It tastes so good and has such a high yield that it can save the people from starvation. He is very satisfied with such a crop.

There is only one sweet potato, potato, and corn. After steaming, Li Shimin and his wife and several children share them and are full of confidence in them.

"Li Zhi really helped Aye a lot this time. Bringing back so many good varieties has made a great contribution to our Tang Dynasty." Li Shimin said happily.

So Li Shimin rewarded his daughter. Since his daughter was already a princess, she could be granted a higher rank and enjoy more food and salary.

Li Lizhi looked at her father's happy face, and she was also very happy. She always thought that if she could go to the fairyland again, she would definitely bring back more things to make her father happy.

Li Lizhi prepared some things she had saved over the years, which were quite valuable to her. She wanted to use them to exchange for more good things with the gods.

"Lizhi, tell me, brother, how did you go to the fairyland?" Li Tai asked his sister.

"I don't know." Li Lizhi shook her head and said, "I suddenly found that I was not in the original place when I was on the road."

"But brother, I seem to be able to go whenever I want. This is given to me by the manager of the fairyland. He said it is my exclusive ID card. I can go to the fairyland with this." Li Lizhi took out a card from her arms and said.

This is her exclusive card. She had forgotten that the store manager had told her before she left that with this card, she could go to the store whenever she wanted, without having to wait for a random time to go.

"What is this?" Li Tai curiously reached out to take the exclusive card and looked at it, but still couldn't figure out what it was and why it had such a magical function.

"I don't know, but this was given to me by a god. I can buy a lot of things with this thing." Li Lizhi said.

"Lizhi, my brother also wants to go to that fairy place. Can you take me with you?" Li Tai asked. He was really interested in the fairy place his sister talked about, and he also wanted to see it.

As for why he came first, it was of course to come before Li Chenggan. He must go to the fairy place with his sister before Li Chenggan.

Li Lizhi looked at her second brother, thinking that her second brother was also very good to her, so she did not refuse. She let her second brother hold the card with her, and after silently saying "I want to go to the hotel for warm wine" in her heart, she quickly came to the reception room of the hotel.

In the blink of an eye, it turned from an empty place in the palace to a room that looked more beautiful than his own palace. Li Tai was a little dumbfounded.

Although he was ready to go to the "fairy place" with his sister, he was still confused when it really came to this moment.

"Brother, come with me." Li Lizhi pulled her second brother's sleeve and took him out of the reception room to register information at the front desk.

She remembered clearly what the manager had told her before, that guests who came to the hotel for the first time had to register their information first and get their own exclusive card before they could spend money in the hotel.

Her brother was coming for the first time, so he had to register his information and get his card before he could go shopping in the hotel.
