Chapter 226: Hold Your Feet High
On the sand, which was trampled a little messy, a few golden grains lay quietly. Suddenly, a big foot in straw sandals fell towards the golden seed. Yu Xiaocao's mouth opened, and before the sound of stopping could rush out, the rough foot had already stepped those seeds into the sand.
Yu Xiaocao didn't care that the dock was already under martial law, and rushed over with an arrow step, squatting down next to the big footprint. Lao Hao, who was carrying a sack in the back, almost couldn't hold his feet and stepped on her.
How dangerous! If Lao Hao is tripped up, a man of 1560 catties, plus a sack of nearly 200 catties on his back, will not smash her to death, but half to death. Lao Hao staggered two steps, stood firm, just wanted to scold out loud, and saw the little man squatting in front of him clearly, he swallowed the dirty words back, and said with concern: "Little grass girl, this is not a place for you to play, go back quickly!" ”
The man behind Lao Hao almost hit him because of his stop. The man glanced up at him, turned a corner, and walked past Lao Hao and Xiaocao. A series of porters behind him also followed his footsteps, trying to move forward.
Today, the head said that after unloading the cargo on the ship, he will be paid double the salary. Although it was a little later than usual to go back, it was worth it!
Yu Xiaocao raised his head and smiled at Old Uncle Hao, and continued to pull the sand in the footprints with his little hands, and finally turned out a few corn seeds from it! Xiaocao was excited: corn, but a high-yield crop! It's different from sweet potatoes, which eat a lot of stomach acid, but corn can be eaten as a staple food! I remembered the golden and crispy corn tortillas I ate when I was a child in my previous life, as well as the tender and delicious boiled corn...... Yu Xiaocao couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
Ignoring Uncle Hao's obstruction, she followed her uncle's footsteps, bending down to look for the past little by little. Perhaps the cuts in the sacks were so small that it took almost several steps to find one or two corn seeds.
Yu Xiaocao is moistened by the spirit stone water every day, and her five senses become very sensitive, even if the color of the corn is not too different from the sand, she can still accurately find the seeds of the corn from the sand. Occasionally, one or two slip through the net, and the little mending stone will also remind her in her mind.
The small mending stone has a spiritual connection with the owner, and it can clearly feel the importance of the seed to the master at this moment.
When the guards finished eating the fragrant fried noodles and braised pig's head, and wanted to return the bowl to the grass waiting on the side, they found that the little girl had left at some point. However, the guards were not too nervous, and the merchants left on the dock had all been investigated for their innocence. Besides, what can a little girl who is less than ten years old do, who is powerless?
Yu Xiaocao looked down and bent down all the way, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and there were four or five corn seeds not far ahead! With these few seeds, she already has more than twenty seeds in her hands. The current climate is just right, and in the backyard after raising seeds, there will be almost two or three acres of corn planting next year. In two years, she will become a big corn farmer! Well! In order to grow corn, you need to buy a few acres of fertile land!
Her little white hand reached out to the seeds. Suddenly, a foot wearing black brocade cloud boots stepped on those seeds. Xiaocao subconsciously wanted to pick off that foot, but the little hand left a clear sand mark on the black cloud boots.
Zhu Junyang frowned and looked at the eye-catching dirt marks on his feet, the air pressure around him seemed to have decreased a lot, and the Chief Manager Liu and Commander Fang behind him all felt a kind of gloom before the storm! And the thin figure squatting on the ground didn't notice it at all, and was still trying to compete with the feet of the little king.
"Y-do you know what you're doing?" Zhu Junyang's words obviously had traces of teeth grinding, and the voice was squeezed out from between his teeth.
Yu Xiaocao didn't raise his head and said: "Trouble, please raise your feet, you stepped on my things!" ”
Zhu Junyang's feet still didn't move no matter how hard she tried. He seemed to be happy, and a faint smile appeared on Jun's face, which was originally as cold as frost. When Commander Fang saw King Yangjun's abnormal smile, the hairs on his back suddenly stood up, and he had a feeling of wanting to stay away.
"Why doesn't this king know when the seeds brought back by this king across the ocean became your belongings?" Zhu Junyang crossed his hands on his chest and squinted down at a forty-five degree angle at the guy who had been facing him with the back of his head. No one has ever dared to treat him with such a sloppy attitude, Zhu Junyang has a kind of cat and mouse banter.
This king? Could it be the little county king who has just returned from the ocean? She wouldn't carry it like that, would she? Yu Xiaocao's little hand stained with sand stopped on the pair of black boots. Well! Looking at the material of the boots, although she doesn't know much about the fabric, she can also see that it should be very expensive, how can ordinary people be willing to wear it on their feet? Oops, I was just too involved in picking up corn to have any idea about it.
What to do? I heard the princess of the county say that the little princess is not very good, I don't know if he will hit Ren Ban casually? No, her small body can't withstand the poison of the board. She'll have to figure out how to delay the time and see if she can drag her godfather to come home with her......
She squeezed out what she thought was the most innocent smile on her face, her eyes widened as bright as autumn water, and she slowly raised her head, looking up at the owner of the black boots.
It's her?! Zhu Junyang's heart was full of impatience and anger, and he seemed to have been poked by someone and vented it little by little. These big clear eyes overlapped with the bright eyes in his midnight dream. It turned out to be her! The little girl who spotted him in his despair and called her father to save him. At the moment of salvation, everything seemed so blurry, only the bright eyes that seemed to be able to look into the depths of the human soul, even though it had been almost two years, were still so clear in his dreams.
My smile offensive doesn't seem to work! Yu Xiaocao looked at the expressionless handsome face and touched her nose in a sneer. However, at this time, the only way to pretend to be a child is to pretend to be innocent. The little king is just cold-tempered, and he doesn't seem to be a cruel person, so he won't see it like a child...... Right?
"Uh...... The people's daughter asks for peace to the little county king, and the little county king is auspicious! Yu Xiaocao hurriedly got up from the ground and saluted nondescriptly.
Manager Liu Fusheng also recognized the identity of the little girl in front of him, and couldn't help pinching a cold sweat for her. Not long ago on the boat, he just called him "Little County King" by mistake, and he had to receive a "reward" of twenty boards at the lightest when he went back. This little girl not only soiled the shoes of the slightly clean county king, but also said two "little county kings" in a row! If the master cuts the little girl in a fit of anger, will he be scolded for "revenge"?
Just when Liu Fusheng, the manager, was thinking about whether to have the courage to intercede for the little girl, his master finally spoke again: "Take back your disgusting smile!" Hypocrisy!! Tell me, how did the seed that this king brought back become yours? ”
Although the master's voice was still cold, Manager Liu Fusheng had a feeling: The master didn't seem to be so angry! Let's wait and see!
"Uh......" Is her laugh disgusting? Doesn't everyone say that her smile is sweet and makes people feel happy to watch? The little king is really different, and his taste is too far from everyone. However, it seems that the question of whether the smile is disgusting or sweet is not discussed now, and the crisis must be resolved quickly!
"That...... The folk girl didn't know that the things that fell on the ground belonged to you, the little king. The folk girl thinks that the one who falls to the ground is ownerless, and since it is ownerless, naturally whoever picks it up is whoever picks it up! Yu Xiaocao explained in a child's voice.
"Whoever picks it up is whom? Well? Who taught you that? General Fang? "It's not a long time since I landed, and Zhu Junyang has already mastered a lot of information. However, he himself didn't know why he remembered this article, it must be because of General Fang, it must be!
The size of Yu Xiaocao's eyes is a bit too big for her pointed little face, especially when she opens her eyes, she is more like a flying squirrel, and there is only one pair of eyes left on one face. She pouted aggrievedly: "Why did I blame my godfather for the mistake I made?" People look down on the ground, and if they don't pick it up, they will be covered with sand for a while, which is a pity! ”
When Zhu Junyang looked at her silently, although the expression on her face was only faint, it made her feel that her scalp was numb, and the smile on her face was a little unbearable.
The little king seemed to sense her embarrassment, bent down and dug out the corn from under his feet, and spoke again with great compassion: "You...... If you can name such a son, the king will forgive you for your disrespect. ”
"Really?" Xiaocao was overjoyed in her heart, and a bright smile bloomed on her face, and the word "corn" almost burst out of her mouth. In the end, though, she desperately tried to pull back to her senses. The crop had just been brought back from overseas, and it would be horrific if she had just named it.
She pretended to think, and then spoke cautiously: "Little Junwang, you see that this kind of seed is like jade, I think it should be called 'corn', what do you think?" ”
Corn? It is exactly the same as the name of this crop in the emperor's mouth! Judging from the expression of the little girl just now, Zhu Junyang was sure that this was by no means a name she made up herself, but ...... She already knew this crop!!
However, how could a peasant girl in the countryside recognize crops far away from the West? Zhu Junyang looked at the thin girl in front of him inexplicably, and his heart was full of doubts. It seems that this little girl has a secret that no one knows!
"Corn?" Zhu Junyang chewed on this name in his mouth, as if he had heard it for the first time, he nodded slowly, and said, "This name is good, when this king starts to play the emperor, let's name it after it......"
Yu Xiaocao was shocked, and hurriedly raised his voice and stopped: "No!" ”
She is already sure that the current emperor is a colleague of the crossing. In my previous life, I read a lot of time-traveling novels, and some time-travelers in high positions, in order not to expose their secrets, framed the time-traveling fellows. There's no guarantee it won't happen to her!
