Chapter 195: The Happy Life of the People of the Ming Dynasty [Please order the full version](2/2)

"Hehe, what His Highness is saying is that this villain is not thoughtful enough!" Hu Yiba said quickly.

Although Zhu Han admired all kinds of beauties, he felt very uncomfortable having to go to a brothel and walk the same path as other brothers.

Zhu Han led two people forward again. Not far away, he suddenly heard a lively hawking sound in front of him.

I saw a small stall with a signboard high up and three big crooked characters written on it.

"French fries!"

When Zhu Han saw these three words, he couldn't help but froze on the spot.

For an instant, I felt like I had traveled back to modern society.

This stall is owned by a couple, both in their thirties, with two and a half-year-old children helping at the stall, and a smaller one sleeping in a bamboo basket next to it.

“Have all these things like French fries come out?”

Zhu Han couldn't help but sigh that the Chinese people were definitely the best in the world in their research on eating.

Although Zhu Han had already discovered potatoes, an excellent crop, he did not mention the various ways to eat them.

Almost all Daming official farms that grow potatoes have only two simple ways to eat them: steamed potatoes.

The young couple in front of him actually opened such a French fries stall, which really made Zhu Han very curious.

Zhu Han walked up with Chen Baodao and Hu Yiba.

Although the couple at the French fries stall shouted loudly, not many people actually came to taste them.

"Store, how do you sell this?" Zhu Han asked.

"Sir, these French fries cost five bucks!" the man at the vendor said immediately.

Five big sons, that is, five copper coins.

According to the purchasing power of Hongwu Tongbao of the Ming Dynasty, five copper coins can buy a bowl of hot soup noodles with meat and eggs.

So this portion of French fries costs five copper coins, which is not cheap at all.

"Come and serve three portions for us to try!"

Zhu Han waved his hand and said, and Chen Baodao behind him quickly took out fifteen large coins from his arms and placed them on the table.

"Okay, please wait a moment, sir!"

The street vendor couple immediately started frying French fries.

Zhu Han sat nearby and chatted with the couple, and then he realized that they were Tianke from Xinfeng Village in Yingtianfu.

Install the latest version.]

Xinfengzhuang is the property under the name of Zhu Han's Prince Ying's Mansion.

Various novel crops, such as corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, etc., are grown in large quantities in Xinfeng Village.

This year's autumn harvest has just passed. Except for the harvest that was handed over, all the remaining harvest belongs to Tianke.

This street vendor couple, the man’s surname is Guo, his name is Guo Qian, and the woman’s surname is Wang. They were originally from Kaifeng Prefecture in Bianliang. They fled famine to the south of the Yangtze River in their early years. Later, the Ming Dynasty pacified the south of the Yangtze River. When recruiting farm tenants, they honestly

Guo Qian, who was responsible, took his family as farm guests.

The harvests in the past two years have been getting better and better, and Guo Qian's family's life has gradually improved, and they have gradually accumulated some savings.

Now that the autumn harvest season has passed, Guo Qian's family is thinking about doing some small business and earning some money to buy some land of their own. After all, although the treatment at the British Prince's Manor is good, they still feel uneasy.

"Guests, how do these French fries taste?" Guo Qian rubbed his hands beside him and asked with a smile.

"It tastes good. The oil you used here is of the highest quality." Zhu Han said beside him. After just one taste, he knew that the oil used in this was the soybean oil extracted from the new soybeans grown in the Yingwang Mansion Farm.

Almost all the crops in the Yingwang Mansion Farm come from modern and fine varieties provided by Zhu Han.

Especially the soybeans inside not only grow quickly, are disease and insect resistant, but also have a very high oil yield.

Among the many grains harvested this year, much of it was used to extract oil and then distributed to the farmers in the farm.

Farmers in ancient times lived a very poor life, and eating meat and fish was extremely rare all year round.

Not to mention ordinary farmers, even ordinary small landowners would not be willing to eat a few meals of chicken, duck, and fish.

As for ordinary cooking, even the use of oil is very sparse. Poor people use plain water to cook some multigrain and wild vegetable rice, which is already good.

As tenants of the British Prince's farm, Guo Qian's family was able to have a large amount of leftover soybean oil for frying French fries, which shows that life in the farm was still very prosperous.

Zhu Han was also full of praise when Guo Qianer fried French fries.

In fact, the promotion of these high-yielding modern crops provided by Zhu Han in the Ming Dynasty was not as smooth as expected.

One of the important reasons is that many farmers or people are not familiar with the cultivation and consumption of these crops.
