Lu Qingjin opened her eyes in a daze and saw Concubine Li lying beside her with a dignified face, if she hadn't closed her eyes, Lu Qingjin almost thought that she had seen a statue.

Concubine Li seemed to sense his gaze, and opened her eyes gracefully, Lu Qingjin looked at her puzzled eyes and smiled awkwardly; "You woke up early, I'm just bored and see, if you haven't slept enough, lie down."

Concubine Li's head was full of black lines and said helplessly; "When is it still early, didn't you say that you got up early today to see the potatoes? I heard that you planted a large area, but we haven't seen it. ”

Lu Qingjin smiled while getting dressed; "I don't know what to see here, it's a larger potato field, but you can look at the yield, after all, our restaurant focuses on potatoes."

Before the two of them could clean up, Xiao Ling's anxious voice came from outside the door; "Wake up, mother, something happened to the potatoes in our yard."

Lu Qingjin put on a coat of excitement quickly, Concubine Li didn't understand it at all, she comforted her while walking out; "Don't be too anxious, although I don't know much about potatoes, I know that this plant loves to get sick when it is planted together, and there must be something that can cure it."

Of course, Lu Qingjin knew this truth, but after all, potatoes had just been introduced for a short time, and she still didn't have much hope that there would be any drugs that could treat potato diseases, so she accelerated the pace of going outward.

Xiao Ling at the door saw two people coming out and hurriedly said: "We haven't found it this morning, and the other ladies inadvertently found white spots on the leaves when they got up in the morning, and it wasn't serious when we used to look at it, but when the sun rose, the whole leaf was white, and the slave really couldn't find a way to come to you." ”

Concubine Li frowned and said as she didn't keep up; "I've never heard of a disease that makes the leaves white, don't they all turn yellow."

While speaking, several people had already come to the backyard, and Xiao Ling said while opening the door: "That's why several masters are helpless, and the other ladies are waiting in the garden." ”

As soon as the door opened, I saw a green courtyard, the wind blew gently, the leaves were almost turned up, and the dense white dots on it made people feel cold.

Concubine Xian saw Lu Qingjin coming, and hurriedly greeted her; "You can be regarded as here, we have been here for a while, the master in this courtyard has changed several times, either that I haven't seen it or that I haven't been saved, can you see if there is any way?"

Lu Qingjin squatted down to take a closer look, and saw that the dark green leaves were intact and vibrant, but the white spots on the leaves seemed to be glued.

A very old master walked over tremblingly, and did not look at the disapproving eyes of others, stretched out his hand and forcibly folded off a leaf, he handed the leaf in his hand to Lu Qingjin and said; "Madame must have studied some crops, just take a closer look at the roots of this leaf."

Lu Qingjin frowned and took over the leaves, the rough leaves and the terrifying spots on the leaves made people unbearable to look at directly, several concubines looked away intentionally or unintentionally, Lu Qingjin endured the discomfort and carefully observed the roots, and a few small insects that could not be checked were lying quietly on the veins of the leaves.

Lu Qingjin didn't expect the old man to be so powerful, he looked up in surprise, the old man stroked his beard and smiled: "Madame, don't be so surprised, although the old man has never seen this plant, but the things that can be eaten in the world are much the same, but this insect pest is difficult to treat!" ”

Lu Qingjin also lowered his head and sighed; "I know that, but this potato is really important, can the old gentleman come up with some way."

The old man frowned a little embarrassed, but Concubine Yun preemptively said: "If it is just pests and diseases, it is still easy to deal with, a few days ago I heard from my father that a lady in the capital has developed a medicine that can get rid of insects, and now it has been promoted in the Ministry of Industry." ”

The old man hurriedly waved his hand; "This can't work, what she has researched is just an insecticide for cabbage, you must know that each plant is different, your potato looks much more serious, if it is not good, it will not be wiped out."

Lu Qingjin raised her eyes and saw that the originally green fields had become silvery white, and the vitality between the branches and leaves was constantly passing, as if their lives would end after the sun went down, she let out a long sigh and said in a firm tone; "Even if it doesn't work, we have to give it a try, it's a big deal that we go to the Western Regions to find potatoes again, we can't do nothing, just tell me how long this potato can last."

The old man looked at the large slices of potatoes in the yard and felt a little sorry, and thought for a while before speaking; "If you can't find a suitable way, at most tomorrow morning, the insects will eat the leaves, and then there will be no way."

Lu Qingjin nodded, threw the blade in his hand, stood up and arched his hand at the old man; "Thank you old man, I want to trouble you to take care of it more, we will go out to find a way in a while."

The old man waved his hand and said earnestly; "I've also heard of the identities of the ladies, so I naturally know what you're doing it for, so I won't say thank you, the old man has been farming all his life, and taking good care of this potato can be regarded as benefiting the people, so you can leave with confidence."

Lu Qingjin turned around and left with the four concubines, the figure of the old man gradually disappeared behind him, and with him was the sick potato field, and in an instant, even the concubines who had just seen the potato field had a heavy heart, as if they had taken on some responsibility.

Concubine Yun frowned and ate breakfast, Xu was stimulated by the old man's words, the people at this table didn't open their mouths to speak, the atmosphere was quiet for a while, and after a while, Concubine Yun raised her head and said; "We've all seen it, the yield of this potato harvest and cooking are suitable, and the top priority is to find a cure for pests and diseases."

Concubine Li wiped her mouth and added: "I don't have much of an impression of the medicine that I said earlier, but I already handed the news to my brother before eating, and I thought it would be a while before I got the news." ”

Lu Qingjin breathed a sigh of relief and said with relief; "We'll take a look when the news comes back in a while, and even if it's useless, we can let that person research a new one, and if it's really not good, the restaurant's signature dish will be replaced with white fungus lotus seed soup."

Concubine Xian covered her mouth and smiled; "Niangniang is really optimistic, it's just that, we don't have any other use, just follow Niangniang to be a lobbyist, I think no one in this capital dares not to buy a few of our faces."
