Chapter 239: The Bearded Guest Returns

"It's all starting to bear seeds, it seems that it won't be long before the seeds will mature, and then the seeds will be planted again, and maybe you will be able to eat Chinese cabbage this year!" Li Xiu looked at the vegetable patch in the greenhouse and said excitedly, only to see that the cabbage and kohlrabi in the vegetable field had begun to bear seeds after being manually pollinated, which showed that their hybridization was completely feasible.

"Look at you, don't you say that you are not sure of success?" Seeing Li Xiu's happy appearance, Princess Pingyang couldn't help but smile and said, she has been focusing on taking care of sweet potato seedlings during this time, but today she suddenly thought of the cabbage that she and Li Xiu personally crossed, so she came in to take a look, but she didn't expect that the two hybrid vegetables had begun to bear seeds.

"I wasn't sure before, but now I have it, and when the seeds come out, it means that most of the success has been achieved, and I can finally eat cabbage-filled dumplings!" Li Xiu couldn't help but burst into tears of excitement at the end, the cabbage-stuffed dumplings with balsamic vinegar with chili oil were exactly the same as the dumplings eaten at home during the festival in his previous life.

"Giggle~, look at your little talent, and you're not afraid to make people laugh, this cabbage is not just for you to eat, the most important thing is to benefit the people of the world!" When Princess Pingyang saw Li Xiu's appearance, she couldn't help laughing at the moment, who would have thought that Li Dacai, who was famous in Chang'an, would shed tears of excitement for a meal of cabbage-stuffed dumplings.

"Hehe, Xiuning, you just found out that I was so good? It's a pity that it's too late, we've already gotten married, and you can't get rid of it if you want to! Li Xiu also laughed cheekily when he heard this, in fact, for him, making cabbage is really just to eat a cabbage-filled dumpling, and it is only incidental to benefit the people of the world.

If Li Xiu mentioned the matter of worshipping the church before, Princess Pingyang's mood would be a little complicated, after all, she has not forgotten the nominal marriage between herself and Chai Shao, but now she is in a shocked spirit: "Li Xiu, corn and sweet potatoes have been delivered, although there is still a potato missing, but if we dedicate these two crops to our father, do you think he can agree to dissolve my marriage with Chai Shao?" ā€

"This ......" Li Xiu couldn't help but show a contemplative expression when he heard this, and only after a while did he speak, "Xiuning, I think it's better to wait, now that the situation in the DPRK and China is so chaotic, Your Majesty's mood is not very good, it is really not a good time to say this matter, in addition, I also want to wait for my uncle and them to come back safely from the Americas, and then we will offer these high-yield crops together!" ā€

Hearing Li Xiu hear the situation in the court, Princess Pingyang couldn't help but look gloomy, she naturally knew what Li Xiu meant by the chaos, after Li Xiu persuaded her last time, she tried not to care about the fight between the two brothers, but some rumors still inevitably reached her ears, and she was helpless and painful.

At the same time, on the vast sea south of the South Seas, a fleet of four large ships was moving along the current, and the wind was very strong today, and the waves were high one wave after another, and the bearded man stood in the bow of the ship with a serious face, seriously surveying the gloomy sky in the west, and in his experience, if they did not change their direction, they were likely to meet the clouds in front of them in the afternoon, and then it would be another storm.

"Master, should we turn around and avoid the clouds ahead?" At this moment, I heard an old voice next to me.

The bearded man turned his head to look at the other man, and saw that the person who spoke was an old man with gray hair, his back was hunched, but he was still very strong, his dark face was full of messy gray beard, and under his wrinkled forehead was a pair of wolf-like eyes, which made people shudder when they looked at people.

"Uncle Wolf, based on what I just observed, the wind and rain ahead should not be too big, we can go through it directly, so that we should be able to reach the periphery of Luzon before it gets dark tomorrow!" The bearded guest shook his head at this time and said, after drifting at sea for so long, the crew's temper is also a little irritable, so they must find a place to dock and rest.

Hearing the bearded guest's words, the old man, whom he called Uncle Wolf, immediately agreed, turned around and ordered. Looking at the back of the other party leaving, the bearded guest also nodded with satisfaction, his family has been a maritime merchant for generations, and the uncle wolf in front of him is still his father's confidant, when he went to sea for the first time, it was the other party who took him, so the other party is also the person he trusts the most, but Uncle Wolf is too old, I'm afraid this is also the last time he goes to sea.

With the bearded guest's order, the fleet rushed straight ahead of the clouds, sure enough, in the afternoon, the fleet finally met with the clouds blocking the road, the soybean-sized raindrops poured the entire fleet through, but this bit of rain is really nothing at sea, and just like the bearded guest predicted, the wind and rain under the clouds are not very large, which makes the fleet finally rushed out of the range of the clouds, and the people on the bow can see a sunset ahead.

As night fell, the bearded man commanded the fleet to find a relatively shallow sea area, and lowered the iron anchor to anchor here, it was too dangerous to sail at night, even if there was an indication of the current, they might encounter a reef under the surface of the sea, and they were not far from Luzon, so there was no need to take risks.

After eating something in the evening, the bearded guest came to the deck again, looking at the dark sea in front of him, and at this time, the wolf uncle also came behind him quietly, and he also looked at the sea area and didn't know what he was thinking.

"Uncle Wolf, do you remember the last time we came to this sea?" At this time, the bearded man suddenly said that he had been here before, so he dared to arrive at the outskirts of Luzon Island tomorrow afternoon.

"Of course I remember, it was more than ten years ago, when one of our ships was robbed by a group of Persian pirates, my lord, in order to avenge the brothers on the ship, you personally led us to hunt down the group of pirates, and as a result, those people fled to the east and came to this unknown sea, at that time many brothers advised you to go back, but you insisted on seeking justice for your dead brother, and finally caught up with each other, all the Persian pirates were thrown into the sea in pieces, and many of them were your own hands!" Uncle Wolf was also leisurely fascinated at this time, as if he was recalling the years that made people's blood boil.

"Yes, we thought this was the end of the sea, but we didn't expect that there was such a big piece of land hidden in the far east!" The bearded man said with some emotion at this time, and after speaking, he couldn't help but think of Li Xiu, if it weren't for the guidance of this young man, I'm afraid he would never have reached the American continent in his life.

Hearing the bearded guest mention the Americas, Uncle Wolf also showed a look of intoxication, he also knew that his body was not good, and he was afraid that he would not be able to go to sea again when he went back this time, but it was not in vain to be able to go to sea for the last time to reach the vast Americas.

"By the way, although the rain was not heavy before, did the seeds carried by the various ships be affected?" At this time, the bearded man suddenly spoke again, this time he not only brought back the potatoes that he had not found before, but also collected many plant seeds unique to the Americas, whether it was useful or not, he planned to hand them all over to Li Xiu for him to deal with.

"Don't worry, master, I have sent someone to inquire about the ships just now, and the seeds stored on the ships are all very intact, but the sweet potatoes and potatoes have sprouted, after all, the weather here is too hot, and there is no way to do it!" Uncle Wolf reported again.

"That's okay, anyway, we're all in Luzon, and then we can reach the sea area of Datang in the northwest direction, we have a lot of strongholds over there, we can plant these crops there first, and it's a big deal to send some of them to Li Xiu." At the mention of Li Xiu, the bearded guest couldn't help but smile again.

"yes, we're finally back, but I don't know if Eleven's child is back safely?" Uncle Wolf suddenly opened his mouth at this time, and when he mentioned Zhang Shiyi, he also showed a rare smile of kindness on his face.

"He's not a child anymore, and I've sent him competent manpower to assist, he should be able to come back safely, let's find someone here in Nanyang and ask in two days, but if this bastard dares to cause trouble for me in the future, be careful that I break his dog's leg!" At the mention of his son, the bearded guest suddenly said with some annoyance.

"Master is angry, Eleven is still young after all, and it is normal to cause some trouble, I think when you were young, you could cause trouble more than Eleven!" At this time, I saw Uncle Wolf laughing and persuading, and even compared the bearded guest with his youth.

Hearing Uncle Wolf mention that he was young, the bearded man couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, in fact, he was notoriously lawless when he was young, especially at sea, and dared to do anything. But then he said stiffly: "I'm not the same as him, I've always solved the trouble by myself, but it's not like Eleven, a bastard who caused such a big disaster, but he still has to let me, the old man, help him wipe his ass!" ā€

"What the master said is very true, but not everyone can be as capable as the master when he was young, if you are still angry with Eleven, how about I, the grandfather, apologize to you on his behalf?" Uncle Wolf spoke again at this time, the reason why he helped Eleven so much was precisely because Eleven was the son of the bearded guest and his daughter, and he was also his grandson, of course, with his identity, his daughter was only a concubine of the bearded guest, and died in childbirth when he gave birth to Zhang Eleven, but this also made him love this grandson even more.

"Alas, Uncle Wolf, you just spoil Eleven too much, so he is so lawless." Uncle Wolf's face can't be withheld, which makes the bearded guest also a little helpless, but when he said this, the bearded guest turned his head to look in the direction of the cabin, and then spoke again, "That...... How's the guy in the cabin, nothing is wrong, right? (To be continued.) )
