Chapter 7 Daughter-in-law, I want to take a concubine

"What do you call this girl?" Zhang Peng asked the Su Ya Hu girl beside him with a smile.

"Back to Junma, my name is Latis," replied softly, not daring to look up.

"Very well, Miss Latis, do you have any unharvested gourds at home, can you take me to wait and see, this is your reward," Zhang Peng said with a smile, and by the way, he stuffed a gold ingot into Latisi's hand.

Latiss was full of joy when she held the gold, she put her hands on her chest, bowed to Zhang Peng and thanked him for his generosity, and then promised to lead Zhang Peng to visit her family's large vegetable garden, but only Zhang Peng and Xu Wanyi were allowed to enter.

Half an hour later, Zhang Peng and Xu Wanyi were led by Latis to a simple earthen house on the outskirts of the city, behind which was a courtyard surrounded by high wooden walls, and the whole courtyard was shrouded in translucent gauze.

Zhang Peng's heart suddenly lifted, and he looked at Latisi, thinking that his luck would not be so good, right? Their family actually knows the original version of greenhouse planting technology?

Along the way, Zhang Peng observed Latisi's form and demeanor more than once, and found that although this Huren girl was dressed plainly, she was very aristocratic.

When she accepted the ingot of gold, she did not have the etiquette of kneeling on the ground and kissing someone's toes at every turn, as other Hu people do.

This is a person with arrogance in her heart, as can be seen from the fact that she dares to ask that only the county lord and his wife are allowed to enter the backyard of her house.

"Lord of the county, the county horse, my father is too sick to see a guest, please forgive us for our rudeness," Latis said in Chinese, opening the door of the one-man high wooden fence behind the earthen house, "Please come in!" ”

Leaving the large army outside, when Xu Wanyi and Zhang Peng walked into the vegetable garden of Latisi's house, they were greeted by a small green world, although the north wind was cold in October, but the small vegetable garden seemed to still stay in summer.

Xu Wanyi couldn't help but sigh when she saw verdant courgettes (cucumbers), melons the size of heads, fat spinach, a few fruitful pomegranate trees, two wooden sheds full of grapes, and many crops that she had never seen before.

Even in the palace of Chang'an, you can't see so many melons, fruits and vegetables, right?

"Take it, wash it," Zhang Peng was not as reserved as Xu Wanyi, he had already picked two cucumbers and soaked them in the water tank, ate one by himself, and handed the other to Xu Wanyi.

Xu Wanyi naturally didn't take it, eating cucumbers in front of the public is a very unsightly thing, and the lady doesn't do it.

Zhang Peng put his heart in his stomach after entering Latis's vegetable garden, although he did not know why there were still peppers, peanuts and tomatoes and other crops from the Americas in this vegetable garden, he pretended to be calm, but in fact his heart was already full of doubts: Could it be that the American civilization had exchanges with the Eurasian civilization as early as the eighth century?

These species are obviously intentional in inconspicuous places, but their existence is reasonable, and the reasons for this will always be clarified.

But only if it ...... Gotta bring Latti back to the Lord's Mansion! This woman and her family are definitely not simple!

"Lord, Lord, Lord, look, this is the gourd I have grown in my yard, two in all," said Latis, pointing to a small area on the west side of the garden.

Xu Wanyi looked, and sure enough, two sturdy melon seedlings were crawling on the ground of the small courtyard, and five golden fruits larger than a horse's head were lying among the fat leaves, looking very attractive.

"This is the gourd?" Xu Wanyi swore that she had never seen such a big fruit, she stepped forward and picked up the five one by one and weighed them, good guy, the small one weighed forty catties, and the big one weighed sixty catties, she turned her head and asked Latisi, "How many plants can be planted in an acre of land?" ”

"Back to the county lord, one acre of land can be planted with five hundred to eight hundred plants," Latis thought for a moment and gave Xu Wanyi a safe number.

Each plant yields five stones, and the five hundred to eight hundred plants are ...... It's really 3,000 stones!

Xu Wanyi felt her breathing intensify and her heart beat faster on the spot, although she believed that what Zhang Peng said was true, but after she really confirmed it herself, she was still involuntarily shocked.

"What Latis said is just climbing planting, if it is reasonably cultivated, it may be possible to plant more than 1,000 plants per mu!" Zhang Peng added as he squeaked and ate the cucumber.

After hearing Zhang Peng's words, Latis was obviously surprised, she didn't plan to say it, but she didn't expect this county horse to know it clearly.

"I don't know how to eat this gourd?" Xu Wanyi asked Latis again, and this time her tone and attitude became very respectful.

"Wait a minute, monarch," Latis said, turning toward the back door of the room.

In a few moments, Latis came out with an old plate with two brass bowls, and it was evident that this was the best cutlery they had used to entertain their guests.

The copper bowl contains pumpkin porridge with a golden color and fragrant aroma.

Xu Wanyi didn't have any resistance to this aroma, and her index finger moved for a while.

"This is a porridge cooked with gourd and barley, lord of the county, county horse, please taste it," Latis respectfully offered the pumpkin porridge.

Zhang Peng couldn't wait for a long time, picked up the copper bowl, like a thirsty horse drinking a spring, inhaled it in a storm, drank it in two or three sips, and his eyes were still staring at the bowl in Xu Wanyi's hand, obviously unfinished.

Xu Wanyi ignored Zhang Peng's eager eyes, picked up the spoon, scooped it gently, and took small sips.

The entrance is sweet, soft and glutinous, and the lips and teeth are fragrant, and for a while, the deliciousness of pumpkin porridge made Xu Wanyi feel a sense of comfort.

Then, one bite after another, Xu Wanyi also quickly finished her bowl of pumpkin porridge.

"How? Would you like another bowl? Zhang Peng asked with a grin.

Xu Wanyi did not answer positively, but said: "The golden gourd seed counts you as a great merit, and you will be given a debt of 100,000 yuan!" ”

"County Lord, this time I won't use the golden gourd to repay the debt, I just need you to agree to my request," Zhang Peng hurriedly declined Xu Wanyi's rare generosity.

"Requirements? Okay, let's talk about it," Xu Wanyi was slightly surprised, thinking that this guy who wanted money had changed his sex?

Zhang Peng smiled, walked up to Latis with confidence, and then turned to Xu Wanyi and said, "County Lord, I hope to invite Miss Latis into the County Lord's Mansion!" ”

Latisi looked at Zhang Peng with wide eyes, her face was obviously a little shy, a little happy, and more frightened.

"What!" Xu Wanyi was immediately not calm after hearing Zhang Peng's request, she knew that Zhang Peng was bold, but she didn't expect him to be so bold, she held back her anger and confirmed, "You say it again? ”

Astound! Shamelessly, the county horse actually held his own merits and coerced the county lord to raise his mistress in person!

Doctor Zhang obviously didn't know what his sentence would mean after being filtered and translated by Xu Wanyi's ears, that is-"Daughter-in-law, I want to take a concubine!" ”

"I want Miss Latis to enter the county lord's mansion," Zhang Pengming still sincerely put forward his "reasonable" request, "The two of you can also cultivate and cultivate feelings, which will be very beneficial to our future development!" ”

"Shameless, don't think!"

"Junma, no!"

The two beauties said almost at the same time, and Zhang Peng looked confused when he heard it.

After speaking, the three of them froze at the same time, the three of them looked at each other, and the scene fell into an eerie silence for a while.
