"Father-in-law Fu, have you seen this thing?

Gonggong Fu shook his head and said softly: "Back to Your Majesty, the old slave has never seen this thing. ”

"Then that's interesting, go, pick some and send them to the imperial dining room, and make a copy according to this list to taste it."

"Yes."

Soon a plate of prepared dishes was served on the table, and Qi An was also left to taste together, and after Gonggong Fu took the lead in tasting it, Emperor Wei beckoned him to move chopsticks together.

First of all, the roasted soft sweet potato, the smell was a rich aroma, Emperor Wei sniffed and picked up a piece with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, and then said with a smile: "The taste of this thing is good, sweet and soft, go and send some to Song Guifei." ”

"Yes."

Emperor Wei then tasted the rest of the dishes, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and chuckled with satisfaction: "Yan Qing's timely rain is really punctual, can the output of this thing really be so much?"

Qi An nodded: "Since it was said by the commander, it will naturally not be exaggerated." ”

"If this thing can really be cultivated in the north, it can not only solve the food and clothing of the people, but also serve as food for the soldiers......

Emperor Wei pondered for a while, and his gaze fell on Qi An, who quickly fell to his knees.

"Qi An, I am going to hand over this matter to you, what do you think?"

"The minister will definitely live up to expectations! I am willing to share your worries for Your Majesty!"

On the second day, above the court, before Emperor Wei's ass was hot, an old minister of the court stood up: "Your Majesty, the minister has a book!"

Emperor Wei bowed slightly: "Let's hear it." ”

"Back to Your Majesty, this strict commander harbors evil intentions, and the real number is a great enemy, and he has disappeared for a long time, as His Majesty's personal attendant, he really doesn't take His Majesty in his eyes, and the minister thinks that he should be imprisoned to serve proudly!"

"Where did Liu Aiqing learn that Commander Yan was missing?" Emperor Wei's eyes were like frost, stabbing that Lord Liu in the heart, and stammered: "This. The old minister, the old minister is also thinking about His Majesty..."

"Commander Yan is cultivating well in the mansion, I only went to see him a few days ago, or does Liu Aiqing think it's my problem?"

Lord Liu knelt down with a panicked face: "Don't dare!" Don't dare! The minister just lost his mind for a while, and asked His Majesty to atone for his sins!"

"Since you are convicted, you will be punished for one year and closed for three months." After speaking, Emperor Wei looked around at the important ministers of the court below, all of them bowed their heads like quails and said nothing, and sneered: "It seems that you have nothing to start, so let's retreat from the court!"

"Retreat!!"

With a sharp trombone from Gonggong Fu, the ministers who bowed their heads and were silent knelt down one after another: "Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

Emperor Wei didn't even bother to look away, got up and brushed his sleeves and left.

As the unlucky Lord Liu this time, he wiped the cold sweat on his face with a frightened face, and struggled to get up from the ground.

Punished for a year and closed for three months, this is already the best ending, thinking of a few old ministers who risked death a few days ago, beheading beheaded, distributed and distributed, and the best is to sue the old man and return to his hometown.

He was still a little glad to think of this, but after he walked out of the palace and saw two familiar faces, his face turned pale.

He was suddenly full of chagrin, blaming himself for being a wealth obsessed with the thief ship of King Jing at that time, and now his family's net worth and life are all in his hands, and the slightest carelessness will be a catastrophe!

Today, he asked Yan Qinchang about the matter in the court was also instructed by King Jing, he wanted to see if Emperor Wei was acting or if Yan Qinchang really got out and came back.

It's a pity that this Lord Liu is obviously not hot enough, and before he was happy for a long time, there was news in the palace that he had been punished and thought about it behind closed doors, King Jing was very angry for a while, if it weren't for this Lord Liu, he couldn't move, he couldn't wait to immediately send someone to solve this useless waste, and Emperor Wei went to his favorite Song Guifei after the next dynasty, and asked if the things sent yesterday were satisfactory.

Although Concubine Song is not as beautiful as other concubines, she understands Emperor Wei's mind best, so she can climb all the way to the position above 10,000 people under this person as a concubine.

"See Your Majesty, did Your Majesty mean the little dessert sent yesterday?"

She skillfully changed into a light robe, and handed the warm tea to her before speaking: "Isn't this thing from outside?" The concubine has never seen it, and this taste is also unique, sweet but not greasy. ”

"Concubine Ai is a lover of food, this thing was sent back by Commander Yan, saying that it is ready to be planted in the north, it is a brand new crop, and the yield is extremely high, if it can be done, then this border will not be worried about not having enough to eat."

Concubine Song has been serving by Emperor Wei's side all this time, and she knows that what he is most worried about is the affairs of the northern border.

Now there is a glimmer of hope that it will naturally not hit him, and he echoed with a smile: "Your Majesty must believe in Commander Yan, he has always strictly forbidden to do things, and he will not exaggerate." ”

Emperor Wei took a sip of tea and said lightly: "I hope so...."

And at this moment, the Yan commander, who was deeply trusted by Emperor Wei, was digging the potatoes with hard work, the rhizomes of this thing were very deep, and at the same time digging they had to be careful not to destroy the potatoes, even Xiao killed himself carefully.

A few secret guards who were transferred back to work as temporary workers are still busy at the moment with their trouser legs regardless of their image.

Seventeen looked at the basket full of potatoes, and the depression in his heart could not be expressed.

He thought that there was something important about calling himself here, but he didn't expect that he was here to dig potatoes?!

Anyway, I was able to pretend to be a Taoist boy last time, but this time I directly turned into a farmer.

Complaining is complaining, the taste of this potato is really good, especially after eating the potato stewed chicken brought back by Xiao San, he can't stop secreting saliva in his mouth as long as he sees this thing.

When he came, he vaguely heard that Miss Chu would still make food today, but he didn't know what it was.....

At this moment, Chu Xinyun is processing beef at home, this is when she went to the vegetable market today and accidentally met someone slaughtering and selling an old cattle who was injured and unable to farm.

In this era, it is not allowed to kill cattle for no reason, as long as some sick cattle who break their legs alive and cannot be cured will be dragged to the slaughterhouse, so there are really not a few times in the year.

Chu Xinyun hadn't eaten beef for a long time, so without saying a word, he squeezed in and bought a piece of beef tendon, which was much bigger than a palm and cost 600 yuan, which could be eaten several times if it was used to buy chickens and ducks.

She had to comfort herself, wasn't it once in a while, and she wouldn't be willing to do it often.

It just so happens that there are a lot of potatoes at home, so isn't this bright potato stew believing?

The soft beef is paired with glutinous potatoes, and the dense soup is poured on the rice to ensure that it is delicious, and you can even swallow your tongue This dish was appreciated by Xiao Shu on the same day, and with this broth, he added two more bowls of rice than usual, which made Chu Xinyun proud.

That night, after Chu Xinyun fell asleep, Xiao San came to the courtyard with a letter sent urgently from the capital.

"Boss, this is His Majesty's reply."

Xiao Shu took the letter and glanced at it, and the more he looked at it, the deeper his brows wrinkled.

"What's wrong, boss? Did Your Majesty have other orders?" Xiao San saw that his face was not good-looking, so he asked cautiously.

"Your Majesty wants two thousand catties of sweet potatoes and potatoes each, and they will be sent to the north urgently."

"Isn't that a good thing? Didn't you also say that Miss Chu wanted to feed the people in the north..."

Xiao Shu sighed: "If this sweet potato is naturally fine, it's just that this potato is only five hundred catties when it is full, where can I make up these five thousand catties?"

"This ....." Xiao San also looked embarrassed after hearing this: "If not, I will vote for Lord Qi'an, presumably Your Majesty will not blame." ”

"If that's the best, you go back and write it down, I'll prepare it here."

"Yes!"

Soon Qi An came to the letter, saying that if the potatoes were not mass-produced enough, they would be replaced with sweet potatoes, and ordered Xiao Wu to take two thousand catties of sweet potatoes to the north immediately, and he would send people to support and escort them on the road.

Naturally, there is no problem with two thousand catties of sweet potatoes, Xiao Shu agreed.

Xiao San, who has the most intelligent trust, stood up and said: "The boss actually doesn't need to hide, let's go straight to the front, presumably Miss Chu is also willing to sell the extra sweet potatoes at home to the merchants, right?"

When everyone heard this, they immediately applauded.

Three days later, a man dressed as a merchant came to Chujia Village and knocked on the courtyard door of Chu Xinyun's house.

She was busy washing clothes at home when she heard the movement and hurriedly got up and came to the door, and asked in a loud voice, "Who?"

"Is Brother Xiao at home?" There was a somewhat strange accent outside the door, and Chu Xinyun peeked through the gap and found that it was actually a businessman.

She opened the door and asked suspiciously, "Who are you looking for?"

The merchant smiled and said, "I'm here to find Brother Xiao, I wonder if the little lady can be introduced?"

"Looking for Xiao to kill? You're here to do hemp?"

"I was a merchant who sold glass bottles to the Xiao brothers, and I heard him say that there is a rare crop here, called... Called sweet potato? So I wanted to take a look. ”

Hearing him say this, Chu Xinyun reacted, and hurriedly greeted him warmly: "Do you want to buy some sweet potatoes?" I've got it here, please come in and sit down!"

Before, Chu Xinyun was still thinking about where to buy the glass bottle that Xiao Kill was from, but now that she sees this business, she understands everything.

She was not afraid that this person was pretending, after all, he could explain everything clearly, and it seemed that it was true.

"Do you want to buy sweet potatoes?"

"Yes, I heard Brother Xiao say that the cultivation of this sweet potato is very simple, and the yield is high, I don't know if it's true?"

Chu Xinyun was still worried about how to deal with these thousands of catties of sweet potatoes, and someone sent them to the door, she hurriedly introduced all aspects of the knowledge of sweet potatoes, and she was very happy after hearing this.

"If so, I'm willing to buy two thousand catties, I don't know how much the little lady is willing to pay?"

Chu Xinyun thought about it, she sold it to Yunjian Restaurant for 20 wen a catty, even if she reported 50 wen a catty, and said that she was willing to give him some planting matters, and she could also give him two catties to dry the fan group I don't know if it is rich or not, so she immediately took out a hundred taels of silver tickets and put them on the table, saying that she would send someone to transport it tomorrow, but Chu Xinyun was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time.

After this merchant left, Chu Xinyun touched the hundred silver tickets and looked left and right, for fear that it was fake, so he had to find Xiao Kill, who was still working in the fields.

"You said someone came to buy sweet potatoes? Another 2,000 pounds?"

"Yes, and I paid the full amount directly, and I said that someone will be sent to pick it up tomorrow, can you help me see if this silver ticket is fake?"

Xiao Shu couldn't help but laugh in his heart, pretending to take the silver ticket, looked at it and nodded: "This silver ticket is real." ”

Chu Xinyun smiled happily and praised him a few words: "It's really yours, and you're still doing repeat business." ”

"I just said it casually, but I didn't expect him to really come."

Chu Xinyun said with a radiant expression: "No matter how much, anyway, now that the money is in hand, what do you want to eat tonight as a reward?" Chicken, duck and fish are of any choice!"

"The potato stew the other day was good."

"That's it, I'll go back and prepare, don't be busy for too long, come back early for dinner."

"Okay."

After dinner, the two of them were busy in the yard, bagging and placing all the two thousand catties of sweet potatoes they wanted.
