It was already late at night, but the lights were still shining in front of Li Xiu's house, and there were two long rows of guards standing on both sides of the road, and the torches were blown by the cold wind of the winter night. Princess Pingyang www.biquge.info was waiting outside the door with an anxious face at this time, looking into the distance from time to time, and her eyes showed an anxious look, while Li Xiu next to her kept comforting her.

"It's coming!" At this moment, Li Xiu suddenly noticed a few fires in the distance of the road, and slowly approached his side, and couldn't help shouting in surprise at the moment, which also made Princess Pingyang stand up straight all of a sudden, looking into the distance with a longing face.

I saw the fire in the distance getting closer and closer, and finally appeared in the place where the guards were standing in the distance, and then Li Xiu finally saw that this was a convoy composed of several large carriages, several of which were piled with cloth bags, which looked like grain seeds, but the few carriages behind were with carriages, if this kind of cart was used to pull grain seeds, was it a bit too wasteful?

I saw these several big carriages come to the door of Li Xiu's house, and then I saw a coachman led by him jump out of the carriage, and saw Li Xiu hurriedly stepped forward and said: "May I ask if this son is Li Xiu Li Sacrificial Wine, can my young master be here?" ”

"Yes, it's Li Xiu below, the eleventh brother is dining in the living room, and everyone has worked hard, and some wine and food have been prepared in the house, you're welcome!" Li Xiu took a step forward and said, people have sent such important things from afar, and they are still in a hurry even in the middle of the night, so he naturally can't be too lazy.

As soon as he heard that there was wine and food to eat, the coachman led by him was also very happy to thank him, this midnight against the cold wind for so long, his hands and feet were almost frozen, and now he was very grateful to have a hot water to drink, but he didn't expect people to even prepare wine and food.

Yuechan and the helmet beckoned these coachmen in, Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang hurriedly came to the first car, the car was full of marijuana bags, Li Xiu reached out and wanted to pull down a sack to open it, but he didn't pull it after a few pulls, and wanted to open the pocket but found that the rope was tied with a dead knot, which made him even more anxious, so he simply borrowed a knife from the guard behind him, and cut a hole in the sack, revealing a brilliant golden light inside.

Seeing this, Li Xiu couldn't help but throw down the knife excitedly, stretched out his hand to pull the mouth open, and sure enough, he saw that there were golden grains of corn inside, which also made him excited, and grabbed a handful of corn seeds with trembling hands, although the corn yield is not as good as sweet potatoes and potatoes, but it is much stronger than the current wheat and rice, and the corn stalks are still excellent feed, which is also a great boost for Datang's animal husbandry.

"Li Xiu, this ...... Is this corn? Princess Pingyang saw the golden seeds in Li Xiu's hand, and said very excitedly, she had seen some high-yield crops painted by Li Xiu before, so she could recognize them at a glance.

"Yes, this is corn, plus peppers and sweet potatoes!" Li Xiu suddenly thought of Zhang Shiyi's words just now, and hurriedly dropped the corn to find other seeds, but he overturned three carts in a row, but found that the carts were all filled with corn, until the fourth car, he found that there was something different through the bag, and immediately grabbed a bag and pulled the bag down, as soon as he opened the bag, he immediately felt a familiar spicy smell coming to his face!

"Chili! Haha~, finally there is a chili pepper to eat! Li Xiu stretched out his hand and grabbed a handful of fiery dried chili peppers, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh at the moment, he liked spicy food very much in his previous life, although it was not to the point of being spicy or unhappy, but it was almost the same, but after coming to Datang, it became a luxury to eat chili peppers, and occasionally he could only use some dogwood sauce, pepper and the like, but the taste was not right at all, especially every winter, he was extremely nostalgic for the spicy hot pot of later generations, and now this wish can finally be realized.

"This is chili? It looks pretty good! Princess Pingyang picked up a fiery red chili pepper at this time and looked at it, then put it in her mouth and bit it gently, because she often heard Li Xiu mention chili peppers, and every time he had a greedy expression, which made her always very curious about what chili peppers tasted like.

"Yikes!" Although she only took a bite, Princess Pingyang still felt as if her mouth had been bitten by some poisonous insect, and the hot feeling in her mouth was very uncomfortable, and her little face, which was as white as jade, suddenly turned red.

Seeing Princess Pingyang's reckless behavior, Li Xiu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then saw Princess Pingyang's embarrassed appearance, and couldn't help laughing at the moment, but then he took the chili pepper in Princess Pingyang's hand and stuffed it into his mouth, and said while chewing: "Yes, it's very spicy, how to make this chili pepper into chili oil, it must taste great!" ”

"This ...... This pepper is really spicy, how could you like to eat it? Princess Pingyang finally relieved herself at this time, and asked puzzled while covering her mouth, she felt that after she tasted it, she would never want to taste this thing again in the future.

"Hehe, this dried chili can't be eaten alone, you will find it delicious when you need to make a dish, and you may like it in the future!" Li Xiu said with a smile at this time, Princess Pingyang's taste is relatively light, so she must not be used to eating chili peppers at first, but after slowly getting used to it, maybe she will really like chili peppers.

With chili peppers, Li Xiu already felt that they didn't go to America in vain this time, but thinking that there were sweet potatoes behind him, this made Li Xiu excited again, this thing is the key crop to solve the grain shortage in the Central Plains.

Thinking of this, Li Xiu immediately walked to the back, and then there were only a few cars with carriages left, which made Li Xiu a little strange, and opened the door of a carriage at the moment, only to find that the door and the carriage were nailed with thick linen, which seemed to be trying to keep warm, and there were several large pots in the carriage, in which there were seedlings one after another, but because the weather was too cold, the leaves of the seedlings were also drooping, and they looked half-dead!

"See, the sweet potatoes have begun to sprout on our way back, so we have no choice but to plant them, but my people don't know how to plant them at all, and I don't know how to plant these sweet potatoes, so I thought about it and sent it to you, I heard that you can feed vegetables in winter, presumably these sweet potatoes are not a problem!" At this moment, I saw Zhang Shiyi walking over with a toothpick in his mouth.

"Aren't you afraid that they'll die on the way?" Li Xiu was a little worried when he heard this, the situation of these sweet potato seedlings is not very good, if they really can't be raised, wouldn't it be a waste of effort?

"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid, the climate in the south is as warm as spring, so when I came, I divided the sweet potato seedlings into two parts, one part was planted on a big island in the south of the earth, and our people took care of it, but I can't guarantee that I can feed them, and the rest will be sent to you, and I have tried my best to keep them warm on the way, and they should be alive now!" Zhang Shiyi said this, looked at the sweet potato seedlings that were all drooping with leaves, and he was also a little weak at the moment.

"Li Xiu, quickly move these sweet potato seedlings to the greenhouse, otherwise they will really freeze to death!" At this time, Princess Pingyang also said a little anxiously, she was also worried that these sweet potato seedlings were really frozen to death, although this Zhang Shiyi said that there are still in the south, but what if they also die?

Zhang Shiyi only noticed the peerless Princess Pingyang beside Li Xiu at this time, and his eyes couldn't help but light up at the moment, and he immediately stepped forward and saluted: "This little lady is polite, in the next Zhang Shiyi, overseas people, I don't know what to call the little lady?" ”

Zhang Shiyi didn't know that the stunning woman in front of him was the famous Princess Pingyang, but Li Xiu was directly in front of him at this time and said: "Brother Eleven, this is my wife, you can call her sister-in-law!" ”

"Huh? Hehe, Brother Li is really blessed! Zhang Shiyi was stunned at first when he heard this, and then said with envy.

Princess Pingyang behind Li Xiu heard him directly say that he was his wife, and her face couldn't help but flush with shame at the moment, even redder than when she ate chili just now, fortunately it was night, even if there was a torch, she couldn't see the expression on her face clearly, otherwise she really wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.

At that moment, Li Xiu asked people to pull these half-dead sweet potato seedlings to the greenhouse, but he didn't dare to move them to the greenhouse immediately, because he was worried that the sudden change in temperature would make them die immediately, so he asked people to extinguish the fire in a greenhouse, so that the temperature dropped a little, and then moved the sweet potato seedlings in, and waited until they got used to it for a night and then let people raise the fire, increasing the temperature a little bit.

After doing this, Li Xiu had time to go back to settle Zhang Shiyi and the others, and Princess Pingyang stayed in the princess's courtyard, because she was worried that the sweet potato seedlings would have an accident, so she was ready to take care of these sweet potato seedlings herself.

Zhang Shiyi stayed in Li Xiu's house for two days, mainly to go to Chang'an City to enjoy the lantern festival, Li Xiu also arranged for people to entertain them with good food and drink, and when the Shangyuan Festival was over, Zhang Shiyi immediately said goodbye and left, because the fleet he came back from the Americas was still parked in Shandong, and then they had to go back to Zhuzi Island to rest, and they also had to wait for the return of the bearded guests.

However, when Zhang Shiyi left, he told Li Xiu that when his father came back, he and his father would come to Chang'an again, and they might stay for a while, which Li Xiu also welcomed very much, and he also wanted to wait for the bearded guest to come back, and then offer these high-yield crops to the court, and then the bearded guest would definitely become famous in the world, which was also what he deserved.

After sending Zhang Shiyi away, Li Xiu immediately put down everything in his hand, soaked in the greenhouse every day, and took care of those half-dead sweet potato seedlings with Princess Pingyang, these seedlings are not only the key to Princess Pingyang's dissolution of marriage, but also the well-being of all people, so there must be no mistakes!
