Chapter 51: The Price of Immortality

In mid-June, Huang Rong came with Guo Xiang and Guo Poyu.

When Guo Xiang saw Ling Chi, he happily hugged his thigh: "Godfather, I want to eat popsicles." ”

Guo Poyu stood behind Guo Xiang with a look of longing.

Ling Chi picked up the two little ones and said with a smile: "I've prepared it for you, Shuang'er, take them to get popsicles." ”

Shuang'er nodded with a smile and pulled a little guy in one hand: "Come with me!" ”

The two little guys went to the ancient tomb with Shuang'er, there was a cold jade bed in the ancient tomb, and in the summer of the past few years, Ling Chi would store some popsicles there, just to wait for Huang Rong and them to come over to escape the heat.

After seeing the two children leave, Huang Rong smiled and said, "Brother Ling, I have good news for you. ”

"Oh?" Ling Chi smiled and asked, "What's the good news?" ”

"Fu'er is happy."

Ling Chi was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile on his face: "Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations, Mrs. Guo, she is about to become a grandmother." ”

"The last sentence is too redundant." Huang Rong rolled her eyes, but sighed a little helplessly: "Yes!" Time flies, I'm going to be a grandmother. ”

Ling Chi smiled: "It's good to be a grandmother, and the Yang family is also a queen." ”

"It's good, but I'm getting old!" Huang Rong touched her face, remembered when she was young, and then thought about her current self, and sighed: "The current me is no longer the me I used to be." ”

"That's how life goes." Ling Chi cut a watermelon and said, "Birth, old age, sickness and death, no one can escape." ”

Huang Rong looked at his face, her eyes narrowed, and she smiled: "Brother Ling, how many years have we known each other?" ”

"Four or five years!" Ling Chi put the cut watermelon on the tray and brought it to the coffee table: "Taste, new variety, seedless watermelon." ”

"Oh?" Huang Rong looked at these cut watermelons, and sure enough, there was not a single watermelon seed, and asked with some curiosity: "Can the watermelon still be seedless?" How is this done? ”

"Of course, it takes a lot of time and energy to research and experiment." Ling Chi picked up a piece of watermelon and took a bite: "The sweetness is also higher than that of ordinary watermelon, Mrs. Guo tastes it." ”

Huang Rong was also a little thirsty, and ate three pieces of watermelon in a row, which not only quenched her thirst, but also enjoyed it very much.

"How?" Ling Chi asked.

"It's delicious." Huang Rong nodded and said, "There are no seeds, it is a pleasure to eat, and it is sweeter than ordinary watermelon." Brother Ling, I really admire you more and more, even watermelons can grow flowers. ”

"Haha, as a top chef, of course, I have to have top ingredients to show my identity. This is nothing, if you want to say that it is great, you have to talk about the hybrid rice I studied. Ling Chi said with a smile.

"Hybrid rice?" Huang Rong blinked.

"This is a high-yield rice, take care of it, and it is not a problem to have a yield of more than 2,000 catties per mu."

"Two thousand pounds!?" Huang Rong was shocked: "Brother Ling, what do you say...... Two thousand pounds? ”

"Don't get excited." Ling Chi pressed his hand: "Sit down, sit down and say." ”

"Ahh Huang Rong sat down again and said, "I'm sorry, I'm a little excited, but is there really a rice yield of 2,000 catties per mu in the world?" ”

"If it's taken care of." Ling Chi said: "If you don't take care of it well, it's only about 1,500 catties." ”

"That'...... That's also high! Huang Rong was excited: "If there is such a high-yield rice, won't the people of the Great Song Dynasty be able to say goodbye to hunger in the future?" ”

"You can't just rely on hybrid rice." Ling Chi shook his head: "If you really want to say goodbye to hunger, the best food is potatoes and sweet potatoes, and corn is also good, and the yield per mu is about the same as hybrid rice." ”

"This ...... So much!? Huang Rong became more and more excited: "The yield of these mu can be around 2,000 catties?" ”

"No, I'm saying that corn and hybrid rice yields are about the same, not potatoes and sweet potatoes." Ling Chi Road.

"Oh." Huang Rong was a little disappointed, but then smiled: "It's not bad, there are rice and corn ......"

"Mrs. Guo, you misunderstood." Ling Chi shook his head and said, "I mean, the yield of potatoes and sweet potatoes is much higher than that of corn and hybrid rice, and to feed more people, the best food is actually these two. ”

"......" Huang Rong's mouth was a little dry: "Sweet potatoes and potatoes, how much yield is there?" ”

"Conservative estimate......" Ling Chi touched his chin: "There is no problem with five thousand catties going up, if you take care of it well, you can also look forward to tens of thousands of catties." ”

Huang Rong's body was weak, she sat on the chair, and couldn't say a word.

Ling Chi smiled: "Mrs. Guo will bring some seeds back when she leaves, and I will write you a planting and management guide, you give these to Guo Daxia, and Guo Daxia will present them to the emperor, I think Guo Daxia should be able to go further." ”

Huang Rong looked at him fixedly, her eyes were a little strange.

"What's wrong?" Ling Chi touched his face: "I have dirty things on my face?" ”

Huang Rong shook her head and said, "Brother Ling, are you an immortal in the world?" ”

"You think too much, I'm not an immortal." Ling Chi waved his hand and said, "How can I be such a down-and-out immortal." ”

"Brother Ling is not down." Huang Rong stroked the hair of her ears and sideburns, and said: "You dare to sell it for ten taels of silver for a piece of cake, there is definitely no shortage of money, and you married a fairy-like woman like your brother and sister, as well as your world-famous martial arts and unheard of cooking skills, I really can't think of any mortal who can do all this." Not to mention ......"

After a pause, Huang Rong stared at his face and said, "Brother Ling, your appearance has not changed for four or five years, and it may be said that you have the ability to stay beautiful, but Shuang'er Sister is still at the age of double six for four or five years, which is too different." ”

"......" Ling Chi chuckled lightly and said, "I can only say that Shuang'er and I are indeed different from ordinary people, but we are indeed not immortals. There was a pause: "Maybe in the future, but not yet." ”

"For now?" Huang Rong sighed lightly: "It's just a matter of time or time, Brother Ling, it's so hard for you to hide it from me!" ”

"I'm not trying to hide it from anyone." Ling Chi shook his head, suddenly laughed, and said, "If Mrs. Guo is envious, I have a way to let you not change your face from now on and enjoy eternal life." ”

Huang Rong's heart was beating faster, and she stared at him deadly: "Brother Ling isn't teasing me?" ”

Ling Chi said with a smile: "It seems that Mrs. Guo cares about immortality very much, you wouldn't ask such stupid questions before." ”

"......" Huang Rong took a few deep breaths, calmed down, and smiled a little self-deprecatingly: "Yes! In the face of immortality, it is also difficult for me to maintain my sanity. But how many people in the world can? ”

"Yes." Ling Chi nodded and said, "But immortality also comes at a price, I'm afraid that Mrs. Guo you can't afford it." ”

Huang Rong's heart tightened, and asked, "I don't know what the price is?" ”

"The price of losing freedom." Ling Chi smiled slightly: "You can only live in a hundred acres of countryside, and you can't go anywhere." ”

Speaking of this, Ling Chi looked at Huang Rong, who looked struggling, and asked, "Mrs. Guo, can you afford this kind of price?" ”

“……”

After being silent for a long time, Huang Rong sighed and shook her head.
