Seeing Liu Si looking at the rice in a daze, he couldn't help but smile and asked, "What?" Don't see so much rice to look stupid? ”

Liu Si didn't have the usual joking appearance, and turned his head to look at Zhao Yunling with a deep face, "Sister Yunling, there is something necessary to tell you Brother Herong, although our rice is of good quality and quantity, we are still outsiders in the end, and the self-proclaimed psychology of these locals is very serious, not to mention that we are in this Yuntai Village, those who harvest rice look down on us even more, and it is very likely that we will also be deceived, which is also one of the reasons why I didn't have farmland in the first place." ”

Rong Yan also happened to be washed out, and when she heard Liu Si's words, her brows furrowed, and Zhao Yunling was also slightly stunned, she didn't take this into account, but it wasn't so much that the entire Shengma Kingdom would look at them with colored glasses, right?

Zhao Yunling was a little unconvinced, and said, "It's okay, our rice is so good, someone will definitely come to harvest it, so let's go to the city with Rong Yan to explore the market first." ”

Liu Si knew Zhao Yunling's temperament, although he felt that there was a high probability that no one would accept it, or the price given was very low, but it was okay to go and see it, maybe he could meet someone better.

Zhao Yunling turned around and asked Rong Yan's opinion, "Okay, it's okay for us to go and have a look." ”

After the matter was finalized, Rong Yan drank Zhao Yunling, and the two took a bag of rice and walked into the carriage into the city.

Coincidentally, they just caught up with the market, and there were quite a lot of people on the street, Zhao Yunling had some expectations in his heart, and the two discussed to find a place to set up a stall and spread the rice evenly.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for their high-quality rice to attract full attention, and soon many people surrounded them, asking Zhao Yunling and Rong Yan one after another.

One of them, who seemed to be a big brother who specializes in rice harvesting, came up and asked, "Your rice looks good, I've collected it all!" ”

As soon as the eldest brother opened his mouth, he was different, and he took it all without looking closely, Zhao Yunling and Rong Yan were overjoyed, and continued to speak, "Big brother, you really have good eyesight, our rice is one in a hundred, and you will definitely not suffer if you receive it." ”

Zhao Yunling's mouth, the eldest brother's face turned pale, and then he looked at them carefully, and then said suspiciously, "Dare to love that you are not locals." ”

Rong Yan frowned slightly, and asked rhetorically, "What's wrong with not being a local?" Rice is local, no. ”

Although this is very reasonable, the eldest brother's face is slightly cold, and he has lost his enthusiasm just now, "I think your rice is ordinary now, outsiders still want to sell rice, so let's do it, I pity you too, and I will accept it at a cost price." ”

Rong Yan and Zhao Yunling's faces turned pale when they heard this, "Big brother, you can't just say that you can change the hexagram, right?" Outsiders can grow such good rice. ”

These words were useless in front of that man, and they wouldn't sell them at cost price, otherwise they would really lose a lot.

With the precedent of this big brother, the other people who were about to move also dispersed, and for a while their stalls were unattended.

Time passed minute by minute, and the last two also ended in failure, and sure enough, as Liu Si said, the locals were very wary of outsiders, and they couldn't do business at all.

In desperation, the two had to turn back.

At this time, Qiao Wenxuan was taking Chen Xudong to Yuntai Village, and it didn't take long to arrive at the destination, Liu Si's home.

Qiao Wenxuan knocked on the door, Liu Si went out to open the door and saw that it was Qiao Wenxuan, so he hurriedly let them in.

Seeing two horses parked at the door, Zhao Yunling and Rong Yan looked at each other suspiciously, one of the horses they knew, it was Qiao Wenxuan, and he brought other people today?

The two pushed open the door suspiciously and walked in, and found Qiao Wenxuan and a man sitting in the room waiting.

Seeing that they were back, Qiao Wenxuan smiled, got up and introduced them, "Brother Rong, Mrs. Rong, this is my good brother Chen Xudong, Xudong, this is the family I introduced to you before." ”

Chen Xudong politely stepped forward and nodded, the two sides knew each other, but they were a little curious why Qiao Wenxuan suddenly introduced his good brother to them.

"Brother Rong, what were you doing just now?" Qiao Wenxuan asked suspiciously.

Rong Yan and Zhao Yunling scratched their heads a little embarrassed and said, "Actually, it's nothing, isn't our rice just harvested?" But we were still worried about selling, and only then did we know that the business between the locals and the outsiders could not be discussed, so we came back. ”

Chen Xudong raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at Qiao Wenxuan and said, "It's a coincidence, in fact, I came here this time to harvest your rice." ”

Zhao Yunling looked at them in surprise when he heard this, "Really? Is the head of the Qiao family the person who specially helped us find it? ”

Qiao Wenxuan waved his hand modestly, "I'm just doing it, I just think that although your rice has been planted, it is estimated that it is a big problem to sell it, and it just so happens that my brother is doing this, so I will draw a line for the two of you, and the fertilizer and water will not flow into the fields of outsiders." ”

Zhao Yunling hooked his lips and smiled, Lian Lian nodded, "That's the best, this brother, I'll take you to see our rice first." ”

Then several people moved to the yard where the rice was stored, and opened a bag of rice to Chen Xudong, who looked at it carefully and his face was full of shock, and he praised their rice again and again, and said that he would give a good price.

Hearing this price, Zhao Yunling and Rong Yan were both a little surprised, "Brother Chen is righteous enough, then I will trouble you." ”

Chen Xudong waved his hand politely, "Brother Qiao's friend is my friend, you don't have to be so polite, I will collect all this rice when I come back next time." ”

Rong Yan smiled and nodded, after the business was negotiated, he invited the two to stay for dinner, but they had business to discuss, so it was inconvenient to bother.

A few people walked into the courtyard, and Qiao Wenxuan suddenly thought of something and said, "By the way, when I came here just now, I found that many farmlands have begun to follow your planting methods, which is not good news." ”

Zhao Yunling nodded when he heard this, the villagers looked at their rice and their eyes were red, and it was understandable that they all wanted to get a piece of the pie, but planting hybrid rice was not as simple as making a show, and the key method was only known to Zhao Yunling, so even if Zhao Yunling knew about it, he didn't take it to heart.

"That's also something that can't be helped, we and these villagers usually don't look up and look down, and we often encounter it, and we can't avoid being imitated." Zhao Yunling shrugged his shoulders helplessly.

Qiao Wenxuan frowned slightly, "But this is not a long-term solution, it is very likely that someone will steal it one day, I suggest that you better apply for a patent." ”

Zhao Yunling was slightly stunned when she heard this, she heard it wrong just now? In ancient times, there was also a saying about applying for patents?

"Patents? Did I hear me right? Zhao Yunling sent out a soul torture, she had never heard of it.

Qiao Wenxuan thought that Zhao Yunling would be surprised if he didn't know, nodded and explained, "That's right, you may not be a foreigner who has not heard of it, the protection of patents is very common in Shengma country, and everyone also attaches great importance to this thing, your hybrid rice has never appeared in Shengma country, for the sake of insurance, I still recommend that you apply for a patent, and you can apply for it at the local county office." ”

After listening to Qiao Wenxuan's explanation, Zhao Yunling suddenly realized, and suddenly fell into deep thought, if you say so, the culture of this Holy Ma Kingdom is more advanced than modern times?

Seeing that Zhao Yunling was a little distracted, Qiao Wenxuan turned his head to look at her with some doubts, Rong Yan poked her arm when he saw this, and Zhao Yunling came back from his contemplation.

"Oh, if that's the case, let's apply for a patent too." Zhao Yunling felt that what Qiao Wenxuan said was quite reasonable, and nodded slightly in agreement.

Qiao Wenxuan saw that they were moved, so he opened his mouth and said, "If you really plan to apply for a patent, I also said before that the county order here is my nephew, I will go back and say hello to him, presumably your application should be approved soon." ”

Zhao Yunling was slightly surprised, she didn't expect Qiao Wenxuan to treat them so sincerely and enthusiastically, and everything was arranged for them, although she didn't show too much expression on her face, but from the bottom of her heart, she wanted to thank Qiao Wenxuan for his help, if it wasn't for his help along the way, I'm afraid they wouldn't be as smooth as they are now.

Rong Yan and Qiao Wenxuan shook hands and said gratefully, "The head of the Qiao family is simply too good to us, we are a little embarrassed." ”

Qiao Wenxuan smiled heartily, stepped forward and patted Rong Yan's shoulder very kindly and said, "What is this busy, you are our life-saving benefactor, what I have done is just a trivial matter, don't take it to heart." ”

Unconsciously, Qiao Wenxuan's relationship with them became closer and closer, and Zhao Yunling did not regret saving Qiao Wenxuan in the first place, it is really rare for them to get a master to help them in this foreign country, even if Zhao Yunling has more ability, he can't make money out of nowhere, he still has to rely on Qiao Wenxuan to help them, I have to say that Qiao Wenxuan helped them a lot.

In the following time, Qiao Wenxuan had other things to do and didn't stay long, so he took Chen Xudong and left first.

After discussing with Zhao Yunling, Rong Yan also decided to go to the county government to apply for a patent, just in case.

The county government is not much away from Yuntai Village, and Rong Yan set off with Zhao Yunling on a horse.

When I passed by the entrance of the village, I found that the villagers were all out and stretched out their heads to look around, not knowing what they were looking at.

Zhao Yunling also looked at it curiously, "What are they looking at?" ”

Rong Yan also slowed down, turned his head to look, and found that there was a sound of gongs and drums from far and near, as if someone was doing a happy event.

The two were just about to pass through the entrance of the village, the sound of suona was deafening, Zhao Yunling couldn't help frowning, he thought it was just a happy event, but he didn't expect to find the village chief Sun Bin behind the sedan chair, which couldn't help but make Zhao Yunling wonder.
