Chapter 227: Gifts

This fellow of hers is the emperor today, whatever crime she makes, her life is going to be played! No, as soon as the name of "corn" reaches the emperor's ears, she will be exposed! Absolutely no!!

"Uh......" Xiaocao muttered in the puzzled eyes of the little county king and the frightened expressions of everyone, "Little county king, the folk girl is just a mountain and wild fisherman's girl, how can she be qualified to name the new species you brought back?" Doesn't this cost me my life? Xiaojun Wang, the folk girl thinks that such a precious crop should be named by the emperor, or you, the introducer, yes! ”

Zhu Junyang looked at the little girl's movements and demeanor racking her brains to think of reasons, and felt that the little girl in front of her was like a small animal, that is, an alert, sensitive and interesting little squirrel. Unconsciously, the indifference in his eyes gradually melted, and an emotion that he didn't know hit him.

Manager Liu Fusheng saw the slight change of his master in his eyes, and at the same time he was surprised in his heart, and felt that he should say something for his master's life-saving benefactor: "Master, the little girl's words make sense. The naming of new crops should be discussed in Beijing! Master, after a long time, the noodles will become a lump! ”

But Zhu Junyang didn't want to let go of this little squirrel-like girl, and his intuition told him that this little girl must know how to grow corn. Before he went to sea, the emperor had told him that it was best to bring back a piece of corn with those who could grow corn. It's a pity that those natives have feelings of inseparability from their homeland. Therefore, he did not successfully complete the emperor's entrustment. However, maybe the little girl in front of him can give him a different surprise!

Seeing that his master seemed to be moved by him, Liu Fusheng turned around and walked towards the temporary foothold. After taking two steps, Zhu Junyang stopped again, looked back at the little girl who was secretly relieved and was patting her chest and making a face, and almost laughed. Why does this little girl have so many expressions? Compared with those delicate or wooden ladies in Beijing, she is simply an outlier, a cute little outlier.

Taking a secret breath, keeping an indifferent expression on his face, he looked at Xiaocao, who instantly regained his innocent expression, and said, "What if...... Give you the seed, can you guarantee to grow it? ”

Manager Liu Fusheng peeked at his master, and was secretly surprised in his heart: Today's master is really changing, not only taking the initiative to talk to people, but also chatting very happily (Yu Xiaocao: Which eye do you see that we are chatting happily?). If Princess Jing knew, I don't know what her expression would be.

You must know that every time Princess Jing pesters her master, and even pretends to be sick and sympathetic, so that the master can say a few more words. Princess Jing was always worried that her youngest son would lose his ability to speak because of this. It seems that Princess Jing's worries are unnecessary.

Yu Xiaocao sensed that the crisis was over, and hurriedly smiled flatteringly, and said, "Of course you can!" You can inquire about the little county king, our family is a good farmer. At this time, in addition to the people who have hot springs in the village can grow vegetables, our family can grow fresh vegetables! There is also watermelon, our family has started breeding, and in more than two months, if you come to Tanggu again, you will be able to eat our watermelon...... I dare to pack a ticket, if our family can't grow seeds, we can't find a second one that can grow them! ”

Zhu Junyang saw that the little girl patted her chest to make a guarantee, and said so much, but she didn't feel the meaning of saying big things. It seems that this little girl is full of confidence in her family's ability to farm. Maybe...... He could trust her once, if he could really grow the plant seeds he brought, it would make up for the shortcomings of this ocean voyage.

"Manager Liu, you arrange to get fifty catties of corn and fifty catties of potato seeds for the little girl." After thinking about it for a while, Zhu Junyang decided to separate some of the seeds of the two crops he brought back the most, and let the little girl give it a try. Even if it fails, it doesn't hurt.

This can make Yu Xiaocao happy, fifty catties of corn seeds, at least ten acres of land! However, the seeds of the potatoes seem to be missing. She looked at the little county king with shining eyes, and said weakly: "Little county king, can you give more potato seeds?" ”

Zhu Junyang looked at Yu Xiaocao with a look of "you really know potatoes". Yu Xiaocao simply broke the jar and broke it, still looking directly at the little county king's compelling gaze with expectant eyes.

"How much do you want?" Zhu Junyang no longer asks where the little girl heard about corn and potatoes. If you have heard of it, it means that the probability that she can grow it is a little more.

Yu Xiaocao thought for a while and said, "At least a hundred catties, right?" Enough to plant half an acre of ......"

"I'll give you two hundred pounds! Do you dare to make a military order to grow potatoes? Zhu Junyang's intuition in his heart is clearer - this little girl may create miracles! Growing up, his instincts never went wrong!

"Dare!" Yu Xiaocao did not hesitate at all, and replied categorically!

Manager Liu Fusheng coughed on the side, trying to give the little girl more room to maneuver, he explained softly: "Little girl of the Yu family, do you know that if you can't do it, you will be killed!" ”

Zhu Junyang swept over with an eye knife, but he didn't blame him for talking too much. Liu Fusheng secretly wiped the cold sweat from the corner of his forehead: Master, isn't the old slave concerned about the little girl's kindness to you? It's easy to be a slave!

Yu Xiaocao's eyes wandered slightly, and he continued: "Plant, I will definitely be able to grow it." The premise is that there are no natural and man-made disasters! ”

Natural disasters? Zhu Junyang secretly praised the little girl's carefulness in his heart. natural disasters, which he cannot control; As for man-made disasters? It's not a matter of his words?

"Don't worry! This king will ask the county magistrate to greet your village chief and fully cooperate with your planting. If there is a natural disaster, it is not controlled by manpower, and it will not be within the scope of the military order! "Zhu Junyang's decision is quite humane, and Xiaocao is very satisfied.

Seeing the little girl's confident appearance, Liu Fusheng stopped persuading him, and took orders to take a few guards to the nearest carriage to fetch seeds of corn and potatoes.

And Yu Xiaocao followed Xiaojunwang to the foothold near him, and saw the fried noodles on the table that had become a lump of noodles, as well as their braised vegetables, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Xiaojunwang, this noodle is not delicious if it is cold, and the folk girl will help you bring a copy again?" ”

Zhu Junyang glanced at the noodles he had just eaten a few bites, and the taste was not bad. As for the pickled vegetables, before he could taste them, he saw the little girl following behind the dock workers, bending down from time to time to pick up something from the ground. After a few mouthfuls of noodles, he was no longer so uncomfortable in his heart, so he walked over to see what she had picked up, prompted by curiosity. Unexpectedly, he picked up a treasure out of curiosity!

Zhu Junyang instructed a little eunuch beside him to go to the noodle stall to buy noodles. He asked people to take the four treasures of the study, and wrote the military order in a dance, and he was afraid that the little girl would not be illiterate, so he read the content to her.

Yu Xiaocao saw that the content of the military order was not difficult to achieve, not to mention that she had planted corn and potatoes in her previous life, but she had never planted them, she had the cheating device of Lingshi Water, and the dead plants could be planted alive, what was she afraid of! Without hesitation, she picked up the brush and signed her name. I practiced calligraphy with my younger brother for a while, and my name was written quite properly.

Now the farmer's daughter can read and write? The doubts in Zhu Junyang's heart were not revealed, and he handed the dried military order to the hands of General Manager Liu, who had just returned with the seeds, and then sat down with a golden knife, picked up the chopsticks and pinched them towards the red "red oil ear silk". The ears are crispy, slightly spicy, and very appetizing.

By the time the hot fried noodles were brought over, he had already eaten half of the ear silk. Xiaocao pointed to the fat intestine and reminded: "Little Junwang, this is a little cold, you can put the noodles under the scalding and then eat it, or take our stall to let people ...... hot."

When Zhu Junyang heard the title of "Little County King", he paused slightly, but he didn't say anything, just waved his hand at Yu Xiaocao. Manager Liu hurriedly went over and whispered: "Little girl of the Yu family, the king of the county asked you to step down!" Let's go, the miscellaneous family will send you the seeds! ”

After sending away the idle people and others, Zhu Junyang looked at the plate of fat sausages, thought about it, sandwiched two pieces of noodles that were very buried in the hot noodles, picked them out and put them in his mouth after a while, and chewed them carefully and tasted them. This fat sausage is Xiaocao's best dish, the color is golden when it comes out of the pot, it is tender, salty and fragrant, suitable for all ages, and people never get tired of eating.

Zhu Junyang, who was born in a prince's family, has never been exposed to food such as offal. If he hadn't experienced the hardships of the sea voyage, he might not have touched the food in front of him. However, after eating a piece of fat sausage, Zhu Junyang felt that the taste was not bad, and sandwiched a few more pieces into the noodles.

Commander Fang, who had been standing silently on the side, watched King Yangjun eat fat sausages one by one, and his heart was full of curiosity about this kind of foodβ€”when the guard changed later, he would also buy a copy to taste!

Xiaocao returned to her stall, thanked Manager Liu, happily harvested the seeds of corn and potatoes, and thought about eating fragrant roasted corn in autumn, and stir-fried a plate of sour and hot potato shreds that she missed...... It was so blissful!!

When Fang Daqin came over, the stall was welcoming a small peak of dinner. Seeing that her daughter was so busy that her feet didn't touch the ground, Lord Fang couldn't sit still, and took on the role of serving dishes. There are no dock workers who don't know him. The workers liked him very much, and joked: "It has been a blessing for three lifetimes to be able to eat noodles served by Lord Chincha himself!" ”

House Town smiled heartily and said, "Eat more!" I'm so energetic to work when I'm full!! After the port is built, will you still be worried about the blessings to enjoy? ”

Most of these workers are regular employees of the firm. The new port, not far from the old wharf, is already taking shape, more than twice as large as the old wharf. Not far from the port is the commercial street, and although the shops have not yet been built, the scale of which can be seen. What Master Fang said is that there is such a big port, and they are still worried about not doing it? The wages of dock porters have doubled compared to before, and they will only be better in the future!
