Wu Zheng took the sweet potato from the reluctant Liu Dongqing and put it away, as for the two silver cakes that Liu Dongqing gave before, Wu Zheng returned them to Old Man Xia without even blinking his eyes, as for whether he would return these two silver cakes to Liu Dongqing in the end, it was not something Wu Zheng should worry about.

In fact, this sweet potato is rare for Old Man Xia, but he never looks at it in his eyes, because he can't hold it back if he likes to fart too much after eating too much.

The reason why he showed it in front of Wu Zheng was that he wanted to take revenge on Wu Zheng for pit Liu Dongqing for twenty taels of silver, and now although the silver has been recovered, Old Man Xia feels that his revenge plan does not seem to have succeeded.

But he couldn't figure out what was wrong for a while, but this dumpling is not delicious when it is cold, so it is a big deal to eat this plate of dumplings while it is hot.

"Tell me, boy, how did you become the uncle of this group of bandits?" Old Man Xia asked curiously while sweeping the dumplings on the plate.

Hearing this, Liu Dongqing's face couldn't help but be happy, he was still worried that Old Man Xia didn't know that this was a den of thieves, but now it seems that Old Man Xia already knew.

This Wu big stick mallet is the uncle in this thief's nest, then he is also a thief, I can't imagine that this Wu big stick mallet is not a good lover, and he actually ran to the mountain and fell into the grass for a thief, now you see how the kid is still currying favor in front of Xia Shi.

Wu Zheng was not very worried, because the dumplings in Old Man Xia's mouth didn't stop when he asked this, so he sighed and said: "I'm not afraid of Master Xia's jokes when I say it, I was robbed up the mountain by my lady, and I robbed it by mistake." ”

Old man Xia couldn't hold back for a while, and a mouthful of freshly chewed dumplings squirted out with all the belt filling, fortunately, this old man was well nourished, and he knew that when he sprayed food, he bent over and sprayed it on the ground, otherwise Wu Zheng would not spray Wu Zheng's face.

"What did you just say, boy? Were you robbed up the mountain, and were you robbed by mistake? Old Man Xia suddenly became more curious about what happened to Wu Zheng.

"That's right! Look at the boy, I'm not handsome, and no one is good at learning, and the poor family is only left with a casserole, do you say that my lady wants me to do that? Isn't it just the wrong one? ”

Liu Dongqing said with a smile: "I only heard that there were thieves who robbed Mrs. Zhai, but I didn't expect that there were still people who robbed and suppressed Aunt Zhai, Brother Wu, you really opened Liu's eyes!" ”

Old Man Xia also nodded, and it seemed that he was also convinced.

"The old man doesn't seem to look at you much when he looks at the people here, don't you kid know how to run? Do you want the old man to take you with him when he goes down the mountain this time? ”

"Master Xia, how do I think you always don't seem to be worried at all that the people in the village will deduct you for ransom!"

Old Man Xia smiled: "What is there to worry about, the old man is seventy-five this year, and I haven't seen that loud horse in my big week who dares to hit an old guy like the old man." But the kid doesn't seem to want to leave when he looks at you! ”

"Why should I go, firstly, my lady is as beautiful as a fairy, and secondly, the people of this whole village have a good respect for the boy, except for being poor, where is it not as good as Longtan Town? Not only did the boy not want to leave, but he also wanted to wait until a few years to take his aunt and grandmother up the mountain to enjoy the blessings! My grandmother and aunt have worked hard for me all my life, and I should enjoy the blessings. ”

Old Man Xia said angrily when he heard this: "Aren't you afraid of your grandmother and aunt to death?" ”

Wu Zheng said: "Now I don't dare to pick them up, but when the whole village becomes rich in the future, who wants to be a ringing horse?" No one is a ringing horse, so this village is an ordinary cottage, no different from the mountain people who live in the mountains in Yuzhou. ”

"The idea is good, but whether it is the mountain people or the bandits, they all have a record in the government, how do you plan to let the Longtan County Order record your gang of people in the yellow book?"

"This kid hasn't thought about it yet, but there is a saying that there are always more ways than difficulties, although I can't think of it now, but as long as I keep thinking about it, I will think of it one day."

Speaking of this, the sound of carriages sounded outside, He Lao Wu's road had been repaired, and Old Man Xia's carriage was also brought by him, a plate of steamed dumplings seemed to have been calculated by Old Man Xia, and the carriage came to the door of the small courtyard and his old man's plate of steamed dumplings was just finished.

Old Man Xia patted his stomach, looked at the empty plate with a look of unfinished meaning, and then said: "Our Yuzhou can be said to be beautiful mountains and rivers, but it can also be said to be poor mountains and bad waters, the old man wants to hear what you kid can do to make this cottage rich." ”

Wu Zheng said with a smile: "I told Master Xia before that people living in this world are inseparable from food, clothing, housing and transportation, and if you want the whole village to become rich, it is nothing more than to find a way from these four points." The other three of these four things don't understand, but they want to talk about this food! Xia Shi, you also saw it, the kid is very studied, right? ”

Old Man Xia smiled: "Your kid's easy tooth skills are really good, could it be that your kid wants to open a restaurant here?" ”

"How can a small rice be able to feed so many people, don't hide it from you, the old boy wants to grow food."

"Growing food?" Old Man Xia glared at Wu Zheng, if someone else said such a thing, his old man would definitely think that he was talking nonsense, but the strange thing is that although Old Xia has only been in contact with Wu Zheng for half a day, he feels that this kid in front of him doesn't look like a guy who likes daydreaming.

So he pointed to the surrounding mountains and forests and said, "You kid really want to grow food in such a place?" This mountain is high and densely forested, not to mention whether there is a place for you to grow food, but this kind of food must first have water! The old man really couldn't think of any food that could be grown on this dry land. ”

Wu Zheng said with a smile: "Other grain boys don't know, but the squurgite that Xia Shi just gave the kid will definitely be able to grow, and the yield will not be low." ”

"Can courgettes be planted on this mountain? And the yield is not low? ”

Seeing Old Man Xia stand up from the chair all of a sudden, he was obviously shocked by what Wu Zheng had just said.

Wu Zheng smiled: "Master Xia, your old man really doesn't know the magic of this courgette?" ”

Old Man Xia shook his head, in his eyes, this courgette is a snack, although it can also fill his stomach, but it is easy to fart when he eats it, which is very indecent for a generation of Confucians.

So he has only eaten four of the ten courgettes that Emperor Wuheng gave him at the beginning, and if he hadn't met Wu Zheng in front of him this time, he would have really forgotten these courgettes.

Wu Zheng thought for a while and said, "Master Xia told you so!" The six courgettes that your old man sold you are not melons, but the auspicious rui of our Great Zhou Dynasty. ”

"Xiangrui?"

Liu Dongqing, who was on the side, couldn't help but laugh and said, "Brother Wu, should you also paste these courgettes with gold sheets to present to our majesty?" ”

Wu Zheng smiled: "This is not a pig, even if it is pasted with a golden film, it can't pretend to be a unicorn!" But I said that this courgette is auspicious, it is because this thing can fill people's stomachs, and even if you eat courgettes when you are not green, you can still live. And this thing does not pick the ground, even if it is a barren mountain and a mountain range can produce seventy loads, with this thing, I will no longer have hunger worries in the Great Zhou, do you say this is considered to be auspicious? ”
