"Well, it's really good, it has a different flavor, come, all Aiqing will try it too."

After tasting all the dishes carefully, the old man did not rush to ask for details, but smiled and waved his hand and gave the order to open the feast.

"Huh? This thing looks dark and doesn't slip away, it tastes really good, it's delicious, it's good, it's really delicious! ”

"Well, it's good, this soup is good, it looks light, but it tastes fragrant, it's good, it's good!"

"It's a good thing, it's chewy, it doesn't look big, but the more you eat it, the more fragrant it is, good, good! , I really don't know where the third master came from so many strange things. ”

……

The old man has opened Chrysostom, a group of nobles who have long been empty will not be polite, have picked up chopsticks, tasted the dishes on the table with great interest, as the so-called do not eat do not know, a meal is really startled, no side, although the present are extremely noble, weekdays are not tired of eating, but really have not eaten braised peanuts, corn rib soup, pine nut corn and potato stew, roasted sweet potatoes and other novel food, as soon as you eat, suddenly appetite, while eating, but also applauded, The atmosphere of the banquet was very lively.

"The third child, you have sold Guanzi, anyway, where did these things come from, and what use can they send?"

Not to mention that the magnates ate in full swing, even the old man also ate heartily, until he was full at seven or eight minutes, and then he woke up and didn't ask about business.

"So that Huang Ama will know that Qing'er has made up all these novelties, so let Qing'er explain them in detail."

Although Jing Hongqing gave a detailed introduction to the origin and planting experience of these overseas grains, the third master still couldn't help but feel a little weak, and he didn't dare to really attribute all the credit to his own head.

"Oh? Qing'er, come, talk to Huang Marfa, what's going on? ”

Hearing the third master's words, although the old man's face was surprised, there was nothing abnormal in his eyes when he looked at Hongqing, but there was a faint sense of understanding.

Oh, the old man really knew about such overseas grain varieties for a long time, hey, it's so dangerous!

Although the difference between the old man's appearance and the inside is not obvious, it can even be said to be minimal, but Hongqing is keenly aware of the abnormality, and his heart can't help but be a pang - a few days ago, Hongqing originally wanted to give such a show of face to the third master, but was blocked by the old master Chen, and finally decided that Hongqing himself would come forward as the commentator, but fortunately, if the third master is really greedy at this time, it will be self-defeating, although the old man will not say anything on the surface, may even reward the third master for his good life, but in his heart, he will inevitably label the third master as "insincere", and the consequences will be self-evidently serious.

"So that Huang Ma Fa learned, grandson thanks to the grace of Huang Ma Fa, was able to run a business, this day of great grace also, grandson did not dare to live up to Huang Ma Fa's love, just thought to do the business to Dali, in order to avoid competing with the people for profit, there is also the idea of making money from the people of the red hair, specially sent someone to investigate the details of overseas trade, and accidentally learned that some overseas grain varieties are high yield, good taste, and rich in nutrition, which wants to be able to introduce the country, however, hearing is false, seeing is believing, in the absence of a real grasp, The grandson did not dare to say anything, and it was estimated that he tried to plant some in the back garden of the palace, in fact, a few days ago, all kinds of grain were ripe, and the grandson tasted some of them, and he was fascinated by this flavor, and he did not dare to cherish the broom. ”

Although Hongqing's heart was dark, he didn't dare to miss the business because of it, so he hurriedly adjusted his mentality and sincerely explained the matter of overseas grain planting.

"Well, I'm afraid it's not good for you to have this heart, and let's talk about what these grains are called, and what is the yield?"

The old man was not very interested in how the overseas grain came from, but he was interested in the high yield that Hongqing said, and only briefly praised Hongqing, and then he couldn't wait to ask about the specific output.

"Huang Ma Fa, please wait, come to someone, on the real thing!"

Hongqing did not rush to answer the old man's question, but first confessed, and then raised his voice and snorted.

"Wow!"

Hongqing had already given the order, and the palace guards waiting on the side did not dare to slack off a little, so they hurriedly responded, and then saw several family members each holding a tray from the courtyard gate, grabbed the front, and each bowed down, all holding the tray flat on their chests.

"Huang Ma Fa, please see, this thing is corn, that is, the thing that was fried in a plate with pine nuts and soybeans before, and the first two rows of seeds in the ground are this thing, and the yield per mu can reach more than 5,000 catties, in addition to its edible fruit, its stems and leaves can be used as feed for poultry and livestock; This is sweet potato, the yield per mu can reach more than 8,000 catties, Guangdong, Fujian has been planted, but the planting area is not large, but it is a pity that such good seeds; This is a potato, also known as a potato, which is not picky about the soil climate, and can be planted in both the north and south, even if it is sandy land, and the yield per mu can reach nearly 5,000 catties......"

Hongqing is interested in promoting these overseas grains throughout the country, and has done enough homework.

"How many of them? Is it possible? ”

The old man is the king of Shengming, he has always cared about the people's livelihood, and he is still clear about the yield of grains, and the yield of all kinds of species that he heard from Hongqing is amazingly high, and the shock in his heart will inevitably be reflected on his face, not for anything else, just because the yield per mu of the two lakes with the highest yield of rice is only about 600 catties, and as for the wheat in the north, the yield per mu is only about 300 catties, and the peanuts with the lowest yield per mu of these grains mentioned by Hongqing are also more than 3,000 catties, and the gap is too amazing. If what is said is true, once it is generalized, the benefits to people's livelihood can be imagined.

"Back to Huang Ma Fa, in order to get evidence, the grandson deliberately left a few ridges of land unharvested, just to ask Huang Ma Fa and the adults to be a witness, and also ask Huang Ma Fa to allow the grandson to let people harvest on the spot to know the truth."

Hongqing dared to say the data of the yield per mu in public, and he was not afraid of inspection, and when he heard the old man ask so much, he knew that the old man was already moved, and he was very proud in his heart, but he did not bring it to his face, but bowed down respectfully and asked for a word.

"Well, don't worry, I'll take a look first."

The old man was very shrewd, and did not immediately approve Hongqing's invitation, but got up, and while speaking, he went to the ground, he didn't move, and the garden suddenly became a mess, and all the people who were originally seated stood up and didn't say anything, and dozens of Ouchi guards hurriedly grabbed the lanterns hanging everywhere in the back garden and rushed forward to light the way for the old man.

Hongqing's flat land in the back garden is actually not big, only about one and a half acres, plus in order to prepare for this night banquet, nearly half of it has already been harvested, and the rest is only two ridges of each plant, which can be seen clearly at a glance, but the old man walks very carefully, not only looking at the plant itself, but even leaning over from time to time to grab a few handfuls of soil, which is completely the posture of an agricultural expert.

"Well, this soil is strong, it's not a newly moved plant, okay, Qing'er and let people harvest the scales, I wait to see the results."

The old man walked down in a circle, finally nodded with satisfaction, clapped his hands, walked back to the main table, lifted the hem of his robe, sat down, and then waved his hand, agreeing to Hongqing's previous invitation.

"Yes, boy."

The old man's Chrysostom had been opened, Hongqing didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly received the order, and then clapped his hands and shouted loudly: "Come on, harvest the crops, and report the number on the scales!" ”

"Wow!"

As soon as Hongqing's voice fell, the butler and others who were waiting on the side answered loudly, and dozens of servants who had been prepared for a long time rushed in from outside the courtyard gate with hoes, sickles and other tools, and started the harvesting operation by the bright lights in the back garden.

"Your Majesty, the harvest has been completed, and the harvest has been weighed, and there are four staple grains of sweet potatoes, potatoes, peanuts, and corn, each of which is divided into two parts, and the results are as follows: 1,480 pounds of sweet potatoes; 1,000 and 20 pounds of potatoes; One thousand and eighty pounds of corn; Five hundred and sixty-three pounds of peanuts, please make it clear to Your Majesty! ”

The matter is big, but the head of the palace, Gao Dacheng, did not dare to ignore it at all, and personally went into battle to supervise the harvesting matters, and after being busy for most of the hour, he finally had the result, and after carefully checking it, he hurriedly grabbed the royal front and reported the results loudly.

"Well, good, Qing'er can have the people's livelihood in mind, and I am very comforted, if such a grain can be extended, it will be a great achievement, good, very good!"

The old man's eyes can't tolerate sand, although he has been chatting with the prince and others at the same table, but his attention is always from the harvest site, since he has a full view of everything, for the output, there is already a number in his heart, but when the data is reported, the old man still can't help but burst into ecstasy, excitedly high-five, and gives a very high evaluation.

"Your Majesty, this grain is indeed good, but when it comes to promotion, I am afraid that it cannot be ignored, because the soil climate is very different from each other, and the matter of southern orange and northern orange is inevitable, and it is advisable to be cautious."

Seeing that the old man was about to make a decision, all the brothers had some bad feelings in their hearts, but at this moment, it was not easy to come forward to stir up trouble.
