My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 627
Ying'er heard a strange voice behind her, holding a sweet potato and turned to look suspiciously.

Ying'er was at a loss when she saw the emperor Li Zheng behind her. Although Li Zheng had been to the mansion when Liu Mingzhi first came to Beijing, the oppressive feeling of Li Zheng, who had a strong aura back then, made people like Ying'er dare not look up. Look.

The second time was when Li Zheng went to give Liu Mingzhi's child a full moon wine to celebrate his birthday. Although he had met once, there were so many guests that Ying'er might not be able to remember Li Zheng's appearance.

"Old man, Ying'er looks familiar to you, as if she has seen you before, but has not seen you before, has Ying'er seen you?"

Li Zheng stroked his beard in a daze and laughed softly: "Little girl, I went to have a wedding wine when your son Liu Mingzhi's daughter held a full moon wine. Maybe you had a relationship with me at that time!"

Ying'er nodded knowingly: "No wonder Ying'er sees that you look familiar to the old man!"

A gleam of astonishment flashed in Li Zheng's eyes, and then he looked at Ying'er with a gentle smile: "Little girl, you really have eyes, but you are the first person to say that the old man is kind, and many people are terrified when they see the old man! "

"How come, the old man is so kind, they are afraid that you must have done something wrong and dare not look at you directly. When Ying'er was stealing pastries, she was afraid that the young master would find out and dare not look at the young master. It must be so!"

Li Zheng grabbed the beard on his chin and looked at Ying'er and couldn't help laughing. He pointed to Ying'er who was serious and nodded in satisfaction.

"Little girl, what you said is right. Although it is not pleasant, it is not far away. Manchao. The only person in the old man's family who dares to look directly at the old man is an old man named Xia. He has indeed never done anything wrong, but he is just too stubborn. , little girl, what do you say?"

Yinger thought for a while and shook her head blankly: "Yinger doesn't know, but Mr. Xia, as you said, since he has never done anything wrong, he must be a good person. Since he is a good person, Yinger thinks that he must be treated kindly. An old man is like a treasure!"

Li Zheng nodded after a little thought: "Well said, an old man in a family is like a treasure, the old man has been educated, little girl, you will be blessed if you are kind-hearted!"

Ying'er smiled lightly and scratched her neck: "Ying'er is doing well now, the young master always said that those who are content are always happy, let those blessings be rewarded to the poor."

Li Zheng stared blankly at Ying'er who didn't seem to know the dangers of the world and murmured: "Everyone knows contentment and happiness, but people are greedy. How many people can be contentment and happiness?"

Li Zheng, who came back to his senses, looked at the sweet potato in Yinger's hand: "Little girl, did you just say that the thing in your hand is 28 stones per mu and it is not a good harvest? How many stones do you want to have a good harvest?"

Yinger looked at the sweet potato in her hand and lifted it in front of Li Zheng. Zhou Fei wanted to stop it, but Li Zheng stopped him with a look: "Look, old man, does the sweet potato in Yinger's hand have long and thin roots at the front? "

"Yes, what's the problem?"

"It's a big problem. The length of the roots of the old man is the length of the sweet potatoes when they grow up to the maximum. However, the weather is getting colder day by day. God doesn't give these sweet potatoes enough time to grow. Otherwise, we should be able to harvest more. .”

Li Zheng looked curiously at the sweet potato in Yinger's hand: "Can I show the old man?"

"Of course, old man, you can look at it casually. If it is not enough, there are still many in the basket over there. I will get you a baked sweet potato to taste. The young master said that everyone who passes by should give them a taste." The taste of sweet potatoes!"

"Okay, thank you, old man, good intentions will be rewarded, and kind people should not live in panic!"

After Yinger left, Li Zheng patted the soil of the sweet potato and broke it hard, revealing the white and tender flesh of the sweet potato. Li Zheng put it under his nose and sniffed it: "Sweet, fragrant, juicy, it is indeed edible, but I don't know how it tastes. So! Where are Song Yu and the others?"

Manager Zhou pointed to the basket: "Master, look, Miss and Yuanwai Song are all staying there!"

"Let's go and have a look!"

"Yes!"

"Master Jiang, what do you think? You can produce about [-] shi of grain per mu, and you, the secretary of the household department, are very reliable!"

Jiang Yuanming was holding a sweet potato the size of a football, almost drooling cheerfully: "I dare not think about it, I don't dare to think about anything, although I don't know how it tastes, but no matter how bad it tastes, as long as I can fill my stomach It's just a living thing, but it's a pity that it's only a dozen acres of land, this officer feels distressed!"

"Why, this sweet potato is someone else's private property. You started to feel distressed before you started to plant it on a large scale? No wonder the civil and military officials in the court said that you, Mr. Jiang, are a miser. This old man is not fake at all!"

Seeing the emperor's arrival, Jiang Yuanming put down the sweet potato in his hand and smiled twice: "Master Huang, you can't say that, I am in charge of the food and drink of the people all over the world, what should I do if I am not stingy? My family's silver, as long as you don't feel bad and nod your head, I don't care!"

Li Zheng was speechless by Jiang Yuanming and could only switch to the topic of the household department: "How is it? Are you sure the yield is more than 20 stones per mu?"

Jiang Yuanming and the others nodded solemnly: "I've read the accounts. The minimum is more than a dozen shi, and the highest is almost [-] shi. Do you see any bamboo baskets placed separately over there? The eight acres of land are all separated, and one pile is One acre of land!"

"Master Huang, I suggest a large-scale promotion of sweet potato crops. I just looked at the land where sweet potatoes are grown, and they are all sandy. This thing seems to be very easy to feed!"

"Give way, brothers, let the old man's ox cart pass!"

Shi Laowu and a group of villagers were rushing to the village with sweet melon seedlings, but they were blocked by Li Zheng and others, so they had to remind them.

Li Zheng looked at the sweet potato seedlings on the bullock cart with some doubts: "Brother, what are you doing with these? Why don't you pull these useless seedlings?"

"Hey, this is a good treasure. It can be eaten for cooking, even pigs, cattle and sheep. It tastes better than grain!"

Li Zheng looked at the sweet potato seedlings on the bullock cart in surprise: "What? People can still eat these things?"

Shi Laowu looked at the gorgeously dressed Li Zheng and the others, turned around and took out a few vegetable cakes from the basket behind them and handed them to them: "Why don't you guys try it, it's delicious when dipped in some garlic juice."

Li Zheng and the others looked hesitantly at the vegetable pancakes made from sweet potato seedlings in Shi Laowu's hands. Li Zheng was more courageous, and directly skipped Zhou Fei's obstruction, took a vegetable pancake, broke off a small piece, dipped some garlic juice into his mouth .

Li Zheng, who was ready to swallow it, his eyes lit up and he started to gobble it up: "It's delicious, better than Yuchu. Better than the big restaurant. Is this pancake really made from sweet potato seedlings?"

"Hey, the old man can still lie to you, otherwise why would we take them home!"

Seeing that the emperor was eating with gusto, the three of Song Yu were also a little moved, so they tasted it one after another, but they all ate without grace.

"Brother, thank you, brother, I haven't eaten so heartily for a long time."

"Thank you for what, thank you Uncle Tong Yuan."

Li Zheng looked at the ox carts going away and looked at the people harvesting sweet potatoes and heaved a sigh of relief: "The whole body is full of treasures, the leaves can be eaten, and sweet potatoes can also be eaten, treasures!"
