Almighty Nongmen Phoenix

Chapter 15;

Now that the matter was settled, the content of the conversation between the two of them was much more relaxed.

Lu Yaoyao also left King Jin to have lunch on the farm.

At the dinner table, King Jin looked at a table of dishes that he had never seen before, and couldn't help but speak.

"Miss Lu, in fact, this king has been thinking about a lot of things recently, can I ask Miss Lu to clarify my doubts today?"

"Tell me?"

The next moment, King Jin pointed with his chopsticks, and there were dishes made of potatoes and sweet potatoes on the table.

"The king is very curious about them."

Lu Yaoyao obviously had expected it a long time ago, and did not intend to continue hiding like yesterday.

"After dinner, I'll take you around the farm."

This time she was not as secretive as she was yesterday.

People are mutual. No matter what purpose King Jin had yesterday, he left the two of them to protect the farm, and he did not hesitate to expose himself and show goodwill.

Since she accepted it, they became real friends at this moment. Lu Yaoyao has never been stingy with friends.

The scorching sun in summer, and it was noon, Lu Yaoyao originally intended to wait until the temperature dropped a little in the afternoon before taking him for a walk around the village.

However, King Jin was really curious about her little place.

She had no choice but to ask Qiu Yu to bring two oil-paper umbrellas.

"The sun is so big, what do you need an umbrella for?"

Looking at the oil-paper umbrella that Lu Yaoyao handed over, King Jin didn't understand why.

"Umbrellas can not only keep out the rain, but also shade from the sun."

After finishing speaking, she opened the oil-paper umbrella and walked out.

King Jin suddenly realized.

Quickly opened the oil-paper umbrella to keep up.

The two walked for about half a quarter of an hour to the area where Zhuangshang's farmland was located.

At this time, there were still farmers working in the fields under the scorching sun. When they saw Lu Yaoyao approaching, they put down their buddies and went forward to salute and say hello.

"I'm just here to take a look. You guys can do whatever you need to do, don't worry about me."

The farmers retreated with a smile.

"It seems that you have done a lot of good things for them."

Lu Yaoyao smiled irrefutably, and pointed to the place where the farmers were busy.

"That slice is the potato."

King Jin quickly raised his eyes, only to see a large area of ​​dark green, and immediately frowned.

Immediately, I saw a farmer bending over to collect some soil lumps.

"No wonder it's called potatoes. They grow underground."

Lu Yaoyao smiled, and Qiu Yu ran over to get two of them back.

Because the variety is relatively old, the size is not too big, only the size of a child's fist.

King Jin took the potatoes regardless of the mud, and inspected them carefully.

"You plant so much, how about the yield per mu of this thing?"

After eating it twice, he has a basic understanding of the potato.

It is definitely a strange food that can be used as a staple food.

This is the best stuff.

In recent years, Dongzhou has experienced natural disasters frequently, and many people in the country can't eat enough to eat. It is definitely a great joy for the people of Dongzhou to have another kind of food that can satisfy their hunger.

"It was relatively low at the beginning, but after years of research and improvement, the yield per mu has reached more than [-] catties last year."

"More than two thousand catties!"

King Jin's eyes widened and his mouth opened wide.

Dongzhou's grain weight unit is usually denier, once it is equal to one hundred catties.

The production capacity of this potato has reached more than [-] catties per mu, which is more than [-] deniers.

We must know that the highest yield of grain in Dongzhou is only three or four deniers per mu. In good times, it can barely approach five deniers, but this has only happened two or three times in history.

"Is this true?"

King Jin immediately became excited.

"So what if it's true? I don't intend to spread this stuff."

King Jin, who was still excited just now, is like pouring a basin of cold water at this moment.

"why?"

Lu Yaoyao didn't answer.

She has also seen victims of natural disasters and sympathizes with their suffering.

But why is she still hiding potatoes and sweet potatoes?

It's very simple, it's all because of the officials in the Dongzhou court who are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but actually try to search and squeeze the people everywhere.

Potatoes and sweet potatoes are enough to change the lives of Dongzhou people.

At the same time, it can also become a sweet pastry that attracts hungry wolves in the court.

After all, who doesn't want to go down in history?
She also thought that if she travels to this world, she must leave a name.

However, if you want to leave a name, you need some people to be willing.

Don't leave your name at that time, and give your life to go in, isn't that a big loss?
King Jin, who didn't get an answer, was silent for a moment, then shook his head and smiled bitterly.

What Lu Yaoyao could think of, he could naturally think of it too.

"Let's go."

Afterwards, Lu Yaoyao took him to see the sweet potatoes, but they had only been planted for a short time, and only the leaves of the vines could be seen.

She didn't hide anything about the yield.

Sweet potatoes and potatoes are both high-yield grains, easy to grow, and not demanding on the environment.

Judging from the current land situation of Dongzhou, almost any place can be planted.

In addition to seeing these two crops, Lu Yaoyao also took him to see the waterwheel and the peppers she asked her uncle to get from Hu merchants.

It's hard to imagine that there are so many unique things in Dongzhou hidden on top of this farm.

King Jin couldn't help but think of what Lu Yaoyao said yesterday.

At that time, he still felt that Lu Yaoyao, a girl who grew up in the countryside, was exaggerating.

But after seeing it today, he realized that he was watching the sky from the bottom of a well.

Leaving aside the potatoes and sweet potatoes, the waterwheel and the Quyuan plow alone are enough to bring about a huge change in Dongzhou's agriculture.

There is also chili, which has set off a storm in the food culture of Dongzhou.

"Miss Lu, your farm is really real"

"It shocked me very much."

Lu Yaoyao is not humble, things are so good, it would be too fake to be modest.

"I showed you all the hole cards, and I asked the prince to keep it a secret for me."

"It's natural."

King Jin nodded again and again, and at the end, he glanced at Yan San beside him.

"The subordinates don't know anything."

Yan San was also shocked by what he saw and heard today.

Although I haven't figured out why Miss Lu hides these good things, since she doesn't want to expose them, there must be her thoughts.

His own prince said that he kept it a secret, so naturally he wouldn't talk too much.

"Today, thank you, Miss Lu, for your hospitality. It's getting late, so I will leave now."

Lu Yaoyao sent King Jin out of Zhuangzi.

"Miss, can he be trusted?"

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao glanced at the little girl.

"Didn't you always say that he is good? Why don't you trust him now?"

Qiu Yu smiled awkwardly.

"It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that I think you're playing a little too big this time. After all, he is a member of the royal family. If..."

Qiu Yu was worried that he would use these things in exchange for status.

"Don't worry, he won't."

What Lu Yaoyao did today was not because he wanted to show off in a flash of enthusiasm.

But she knew in her heart that King Jin would not be exposed, not only would she not be exposed, but she would try her best to help hide it.

why?

It's very simple, not to say that everything she showed today can be remembered in history, but it is enough to earn a lot of fame.

Jin Wang's situation in the royal family is rather embarrassing.

Accumulating fame is a reminder to him, as long as he is not a fool, he will not take these things on himself.

As for why he helped to hide it, it was naturally because he had ulterior motives.
