Chapter 25: Get the Baby

"What?! Yundian Marquis Mansion, that Qianfeng again?! ”

Zhou Chaozheng slapped the table, and the wine glasses on the table were directly knocked over, and the wine was spilled on the ground.

The two girls beside him were also frightened, and hurriedly went to put away the wine glasses, for fear that Zhou Chaozheng would be angry with them.

Zhou Chaozheng's face turned red with anger, he squinted his eyes, thought for a moment, and then spoke: "Zhao Tiancheng, I order you to go to the palace now to bring people and snatch those slaves back!" Let's just say that these slaves are unknown and are temporarily detained in the government! There is no need to take care of Qianfeng's face, if there is any problem, let him come to me himself! ”

"Yes! Lord Governor! ”

Zhao Tiancheng was ordered to leave, and now with the support of the governor, he is full of confidence!

The other side.

Qianfeng left the warehouse and took two of his family members to the largest trading market in southern Yunnan.

It is full of people, pedestrians come and go, and occasionally you can hear a few hawkers shouting loudly, which is very lively.

Qianfeng took his family to shuttle through the crowd, walking and stopping, and if he saw something he was interested in, Qianfeng would stop and watch.

In this bazaar, everything is sold, and it is very prosperous.

Qianfeng even saw the ...... of selling himself to bury his father.

A young girl knelt on the ground, her face a little haggard, and her cheeks still had tears on her cheeks, and in front of her stood a sign with four words crookedly written, "Sell yourself to bury her father."

Behind the girl, a corpse covered in a white cloth.

Qianfeng was only curious and stopped to look at it a few times, then turned around and left, there are many miserable people in southern Yunnan, and Qianfeng doesn't have so much sympathy to rescue.

After shopping for a while, Qianfeng's eyes were locked on a foreign merchant who was selling, and after his eyes were carefully examined, he was stunned at first, and then slightly surprised!

The gray-red, palm-sized thing, if Qianfeng is not mistaken, it should be a sweet potato!

This thing is terrible, maybe in the previous life, Qianfeng didn't care when he saw it, but now the land of southern Yunnan is like a treasure!

He took a few deep breaths, steadied himself, and walked towards the foreign merchant.

When he came to him, Qianfeng glanced at it and pretended to ask casually, "What kind of thing is this?" ”

The foreign businessman looked at Qianfeng, and then took the sweet potato and said with a smile to introduce.

"This guest, the thing in my hand, it's called a sweet potato, this thing is in our country, it's very amazing! Regarded as the best fruit! And it's very rare, it's a rare treasure! ”

"This thing can be eaten directly, without any cooking, it tastes sweet and delicious, and it is unforgettable to eat! I have a whole bag here, if you want, fifty taels of silver, how about you take it? ”

Hearing the foreign businessman say that sweet potatoes are fruits, he knew that the foreign businessman must only know that this thing can be eaten raw, and the other estimates are not clear at all.

Qianfeng looked at the big bag beside him again, stacked at random, maybe in the eyes of foreign businessmen, it was not a rare thing.

"What? This thing costs fifty taels of silver? Or fruit? The appearance is so bad, I might as well buy grapes from the Western Regions, it's too expensive! ”

Qianfeng shouted two sentences and said scoldingly.

Although this sweet potato is rare in southern Yunnan, its breeding ability is very strong, and it is not as precious as the merchant said.

Seeing this, the foreign businessman hurriedly stopped Qianfeng, and he said: "Wait, I can give you a little cheaper, how about forty-five taels?" ”

Foreign businessmen are also in a hurry to sell sweet potatoes for money, he came to the market early this morning, but unfortunately because of this kind of thing of sweet potatoes, the Great Zhou Kingdom does not have, and it is also a little unbearable from the appearance, gray and red color, coupled with roots, so that many people think it is a kind of tree root.

Until now, Qianfeng was the first guest to come forward to ask.

Hearing that the foreign merchant had slashed himself, Qianfeng looked at the merchant twice, and said, "These sweet potatoes of yours, I don't think they're worth forty-five taels of silver, I'm curious about this thing, ten taels of silver!" ”

"Ten taels?"

The foreign merchant looked embarrassed, he made a bitter face, stretched out three fingers and said, "Guest, you give too little, how about thirty taels of silver?" ”

Qianfeng shook his head and refused again: "Master, I'm just curious about your thing, and your thing doesn't look good, it is estimated that the taste is like that, if it doesn't taste good when I look back, I'm too troublesome to feed the horse." I will add ten taels of silver to you, and I will give you twenty taels of silver, and if you don't sell it, forget it! ”

looked at Qianfeng, and then looked at the sweet potato in his hand, the businessman's face was full of bitterness, he thought that the sweet potato could be sold at a good price in southern Yunnan City, who would have thought that no one cared at all, twenty taels of silver...... It can also be used as a carriage fee.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Can you add another tael, twenty-one taels, I'll give you all these sweet potatoes!" ”

One or two more or one less is indifferent to Qianfeng, he waved his hand and asked his subordinates to pay: "Give him silver." ”

When the family behind him heard this, he took out twenty-one taels of silver from his body and handed it to the foreign merchant.

And Qianfeng saw that the things were in his hands, and his heart blossomed, but he still pretended to be at a loss, and said, "I guess this thing can also be used as feed for horses, let's go." ”

After that, Qianfeng led the people to continue to walk forward.

When he returned to the mansion of the Marquis of Yundian in the evening, Qianfeng arranged for his subordinates to dig the ground and loosen the soil in the orchard in the mansion, and ordered people to go out to dig some river sand outside, mix the garden soil, and loosen the soil layer.

Qianfeng remembered that this sweet potato was different from potatoes, if it was cut into pieces to plant, it would be easy to rot after planting, and it would be difficult to survive, and when planting, Qianfeng would pick out the skin that was seriously damaged, mold, and black spots, almost seven or eight.

After planting all of them, Qianfeng asked his subordinates to find dry weeds to cover the soil, which was done to keep warm and moisturize, so that the sweet potatoes could sprout quickly and begin to grow.

After almost half an hour of busy work, Qianfeng returned to his yard.

After Qianfeng left, these subordinates who had finished their work began to talk one after another, and when Qianfeng was there just now, they didn't dare to ask, nor did they dare to say, so they could only bury their heads in work.

Now as soon as Qianfeng leaves, he won't stop talking.

"What are these things that Master Hou brought back?"

"Why do you ask so much, this should be the flower that Hou Ye bought outside, it looks so ugly."

……

As soon as Qianfeng returned to his yard, he saw Zhang Mazi standing at the door with a kind of family, all of them with blue noses and swollen faces, and there were many footprints on their clothes.

Seeing this scene, Qianfeng couldn't help frowning, and he asked, "Zhang Mazi, what happened?" Who hit you? ”

Zhang Mazi led a group of family members to kneel directly in front of Qianfeng, and said with a resentful face: "Master Hou! It's the people of the Yunnan Mansion! Not only did they take our slaves, but they also took our slaves! ”
