Chapter Seventy-Eight: I Will Protect You
I? Yun Yao was stunned by his question, and didn't know what to say.
"Am I not the Zhao Yun'er of Oak Village? Or did you tell me? She chuckled dryly, picked up a cherry and shoved it into his hand.
"Eat quickly, go back to rest early after eating."
Xiao Chuhan took the cherry in his hand and looked at it again, and said tentatively: "Are you from the God King Palace?" ”
"No, no, I don't even know where that God-King Temple is." Yun Yao hurriedly waved her hand and said, "I'm really just an ordinary person, but I fell down from the mountain and hit my head, and I can't remember many things." ”
Also, the old guys in the Temple of the God King are busy fighting for power all day long, and who cares about the people's suffering as much as she does. Xiao Chuhan thought of this, and only then did he relax a little.
He reached out and picked through the fruit bowl, took a few more grapes and ate them, and asked, "Where did you get so many good things?" Where did you get those two new species? ”
"Hey, why are you so nasty! People are kind enough to invite you to dinner, can't you ask a few words? Yun Yao couldn't explain it, so she simply played a trick, "Do you want it?" I don't want to cook it all and eat it myself. ”
"Hey, don't, don't! Isn't it okay if I don't ask? Xiao Chuhan hurriedly sat down and glanced at her helplessly, "Fortunately, you are looking for me, if someone else finds out, why don't you be arrested and tortured immediately?" ”
"Isn't it?" Yun Yao's face immediately collapsed, "I'm obviously doing a good deed, even if I don't get paid, you still want to arrest me and torture me?" Why are you people here so savage?! ”
Our people here? So where are you from? Xiao Chuhan glanced at her quietly, and saw her flattening her mouth aggrievedly, sitting there angrily pulling the grapes on the plate, and couldn't help but instantly soften her heart again.
"It's okay, I'll protect you. When someone asks you, you say that these two things are found in the mountains, okay? ”
"Hmm!" Yun Yao nodded happily and doggedly brought the ripped grapes to him, "Thank you, I knew that it would definitely not be wrong to look for you, you are the best!" ”
Haha, what a silly girl! Xiao Chuhan smiled, took the grapes and slowly put them in his mouth to taste.
Well, delicious and sweet!
Xiao Chuhan had already eaten enough just now, so he stopped after eating a few grapes at this moment. He pulled the quilt over and tucked it behind him and lay down comfortably.
"I see that there is a bamboo waterwheel built in the village, and you also taught them to do it?"
"Yes, although wooden waterwheels are more durable, they are cumbersome to build and take a long time. The bamboo waterwheel is easy to use and can be made quickly, and it is also easy to repair if it is broken. I think it's too hard for them to carry water, so I just let them make a bamboo to use first. ”
Remembering that Xiao Chuhan had asked her to meet in the bamboo forest just now, Yun Yao asked in hindsight, "Have you been to the river to see it?" What do you think? ”
"Well, that's very convenient." Xiao Chuhan lay with his hands behind his head, looked at Yun Yao and asked, "How did you come up with it?" ”
Yun Yao still couldn't answer this question, so she had to say: "I just see that everyone is working too hard to carry water, and I want to help them." I like to eat rice, I don't want to eat corn and buckwheat every day. ”
Xiao Chuhan saw that she didn't want to say more, so he stopped asking after her. Anyway, the little girl has many secrets, and he will always know them in the future.
"With the waterwheel, it is really much more convenient to grow rice. But if you want to eat white rice at every meal, you can get a few acres of rice. ”
Speaking of rice, Yun Yao remembered another major event. In the past few days, she has been busy doing business and making money, and she has forgotten to mention rice seeds. However, can you tell him that there is another good seed in the end? He wouldn't want to arrest himself and torture him, would he?
Seeing that she looked like she wanted to speak and stopped, Xiao Chuhan asked funny, "What are you thinking about?" Is there anything you can't tell me? ”
In order to get more energy and go back to see his father early, Yun Yao decided to believe him once.
"I still have a good thing, but I'm afraid that even you will arrest me if I say it."
Hmph, how dare you doubt me like that!
Xiao Chu glared at her coldly, and said, "I said that I would protect you, so naturally I will speak and count." If you don't tell me now, if someone else finds out in the future, you don't expect me to come all the way to save you. ”
"Don't you do that, I'm sure you can't?" Yun Yao hurriedly leaned over and asked, "If I tell you that I have rice seeds that can yield 800-1000 catties per mu, will you believe it?" ”
What the?! Xiao Chuhan immediately sat up, stared at Yun Yao for a long time, and then shook his head and said, "Xiao Yun'er, don't talk nonsense, be careful of causing trouble for yourself." ”
I knew it was going to be like this! Yun Yao spread her hands and said, "When I don't want to say it, you want me to say it, and you don't believe it, so do I still want to say it?" ”
Seeing that she didn't seem to be joking, Xiao Chuhan suddenly became serious: "Let's hear it." ”
Yun Yao put down the fruit in his hand and looked at him seriously: "Some places can already produce thousands of catties per mu, but you don't know." Like the potatoes and sweet potatoes I just mentioned, they can yield thousands of catties per mu, but I'm just afraid that you won't be able to plant, so I'll talk a little less. ”
"Really? Is there such a place? Xiao Chuhan was eager to grab her and ask, but was blocked by the kang table in the middle.
He stretched out his hand to push the obstructive kang table aside, and moved his body to sit beside Yun Yao. "Where? Take me to see it! ”
Yun Yao was a little frightened by him, and secretly hid back, "There really is such a place, where my seeds are all obtained, but I can't go over by myself now, let alone take you there." ”
Xiao Chuhan saw that she looked scared, and then he realized that he was a little out of shape. He sat back down, set the kang table again, and said, "Don't say these words to others in the future." ”
"I know, but I only tell you when you ask me, and I won't tell others." Yun Yao nodded hurriedly, and asked him carefully, "Then are you willing to believe me?" ”
Letter? Still not convinced? Xiao Chuhan hesitated.
He really wanted to believe Yun Yao and was willing to believe her, but it was a major matter related to the eating of the people in the whole state, so he couldn't be careless.
Potatoes and sweet potatoes can still be grown on wasteland, but this rice will occupy fertile land! The waterwheel has not yet been promoted, if he blindly implements the new rice varieties now, in case of failure, how will these tens of millions of Xiliang people live?
"Yun'er, it's not that I don't want to believe you, you know, I can't afford to fail." Xiao Chuhan frowned, and his voice was gloomy, "I'm sorry, I ......"
Seeing that he was so sad, although Yun Yao was a little disappointed, she hurriedly comforted him: "It's okay, it's okay, I can try planting in my own field first, and when there is a harvest, everyone will naturally believe it." ”
"I know you're also embarrassed, after all, you're not the King of Xiliang. I can't get anything practical, so it's normal for people not to believe it. ”
Hearing her mention King Xiliang again, Xiao Chuhan was ashamed. He doesn't need to lobby anyone, but what he can't get past is himself.
He looked at Yun Yao apologetically: "I'm sorry, Yun'er, I can't help you now." But I promise you, as long as the yield of rice per mu you grow exceeds 400 catties, I will definitely implement it for you in the whole state. ”
Yun Yao was overjoyed when she heard this, and immediately ignored his salutation.
"Just 400 pounds? No problem, I promise to complete the task. After saying that, she remembered that she could only get some seeds, and she wouldn't plant at all!
Hehe, hehe, she laughed dryly, scratched her head, and began to think about whether to ask Da Niu to help her.
"What's going on in your little head?" Xiao Chuhan looked at her funny, and his tone was gentle that he didn't even notice.
"I ...... I'm wondering who to hire as my helper. Yun Yao explained embarrassedly: "I don't know how to farm myself, if no one helps, let alone 400 catties, I'm afraid I won't even be able to harvest rice seeds." ”
Xiao Chuhan looked at her snow-white face, then at her pink two hands, nodded and said, "You can't pick your shoulders or lift your hands, you have to ask someone to help." Do you have a candidate? Do you want me to send you a few people? ”
"Don't bother you!" Yun Yao hurriedly waved his hand and said, "The big cow next door can help, but his mother doesn't like me, and it is estimated that he will have to say some ugly things when the time comes." ”
Daniel? The farmer? He had forgotten that there was such a person. When you want someone to help, the first thing that comes to your mind is him? Xiao Chuhan's heart suddenly felt sour.
"What are you looking for him? How many acres of land can he plant alone? Root...... I'll give you a farm, and arrange a few good farmers to plant 100 acres of rice. I want to see how many catties of rice you can harvest. ”
100 acres? Yun Yao suddenly smiled. She nodded like a chicken pecking rice and said, "That's great, is the farm far from here?" Should I move in? ”
Xiao Chuhan just said that he was angry, where could he get a 100-acre farm at this time? I still have to go to Fang Caigui to make arrangements.
"I'll arrange the farm tomorrow, let's talk about the waterwheel first."
"Waterwheel?" Yun Yao pointed to the stack of drawings, "Didn't you learn it?" I have given you all the drawings, and the samples have been prepared for you, you can just take them and ask someone to follow them. ”
Yun Yao ran out of Xiao Chuhan and wanted to drive people again, so he stuffed the stack of drawings into his hand and said, "It's late, it's not easy to walk on the road, you go back quickly." As she spoke, she kindly stuffed the flashlight into him as well, "Take it, and light it on the road." ”
Xiao Chuhan was suffocated to death in his heart. He flicked the flashlight a few times, saw that the pillar of light was clearly extinguished, and then casually stuffed it into his sleeve pocket.
"My leg is injured, and I have to walk dozens of miles to enter the city, how do you tell me to go back?"
Hearing him say this, Yun Yao's face suddenly turned bitter: "Then what should I do?" I can't help you with such a long way! ”
When Xiao Chuhan heard this, his face turned even darker.
"I've traveled thousands of miles for you, can't you keep me for one night?"
