Su Xiu squatted down and dug a few times in the ground.

After a while, a potato was dug out.

When Su Wenhai saw the dirt-stained and strange-shaped thing in Su Xiu's hand, he was slightly stunned.

"What is this?"

Su Wenhai frowned, his eyes were full of surprise and doubt, he looked at the potatoes and asked Su Xiu.

"This thing is called a potato, and after steaming, the taste is very soft and glutinous and sweet!"

When Su Wenhai heard this, there was a look of disappointment in his eyes.

I thought that Su Xiu could be in the court yesterday, which was amazing.

As a result, I didn't expect that the so-called valuable thing was just a kind of food that I had never seen before.

However.

Su Xiu's next sentence directly made Su Wenhai's eyes widen and show a look of shock.

"It doesn't matter how it tastes, do you know what is the rarest thing about it?"

didn't wait for Su Wenhai to speak.

Su Xiu said directly: "The key is that this thing is cold and drought resistant, and the yield is extremely high!" ”

"Once this thing is planted all over the country, there is no need to worry about the hunger of the victims in the event of natural disasters!"

Su Wenhai's pupils shook, and his eyes revealed an incredible look, and he once again set his eyes on this unsightly potato.

After looking at it, Su Wenhai said in a trembling voice: "How much can this thing produce in a year?" ”

"I don't know the specifics, at least it has to be about 2,000 catties."

Although Su Xiu knew the habits of potatoes very well, it was also the first time to plant potatoes.

As for how much it can produce in a year, Su Xiu really doesn't know.

About 2,000 catties!

When Su Wenhai heard this number, he couldn't help but gasp.

If this thing is really like what my son said, it can produce 2,000 catties a year, then I don't have to worry about famine anymore.

At this moment, Su Wenhai's eyes were attracted by a plant full of red and round fruits.

Su Wenhai stretched out his hand and gently pinched it a few times, and asked curiously, "What is this?" ”

At this moment, Su Xiu was shaving sweet potatoes, ready to show off the sweet potatoes in front of Su Wenhai.

However.

After Su Xiu heard Su Wenhai's words, he glanced up and said directly: "Little tomatoes, you can eat them raw, but they are sweet!" ”

When Su Wenhai heard this, he took one off and put it in his mouth.

When a tooth bites through a small tomato.

In an instant, sweet juice burst out of it, filling Su Wenhai's taste buds and mouth.

Su Wenhai's eyes were full of surprise.

Then, Su Wenhai picked a few more, and while chewing, he swept his gaze to other plants in the vegetable field.

In the end, Su Wenhai was attracted by a slender red fruit hanging again.

Su Wenhai didn't ask Su Xiu this time, he directly picked one and put it in his mouth and chewed it.

When Su Wenhai chewed it, he found that this thing was not only not sweet, but also very painful.

The pain was like being burned by a scorching fire.

After a while, Su Wenhai looked like he had drunk too much old wine, his face was flushed, and dense sweat the size of soybeans oozed from his forehead.

"It hurts! Hurt! What is that thing? Why do I feel like my mouth is burning after eating it! ”

Su Xiu, who had just dug out the sweet potatoes from the soil, heard this, raised his head and looked in the direction of Su Wenhai's finger.

When Su Xiu saw what Su Wenhai was pointing at, he hurriedly got up and ran into the house, poured a glass of cold water, brought it to Su Wenhai, and said, "Dad, drink some water, it will be more comfortable!" ”

A glass of ice-cold water in the mouth.

In an instant, Su Wenhai felt that the burning pain in his mouth seemed to be relieved.

So, Su Wenhai drank several cups in a row.

Until the pain is completely relieved and there is a loud burp.

Su Wenhai breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, raised his leg and kicked Su Xiu, and reprimanded angrily: "Stinky boy, what is that, it almost killed your labor!" ”

Su Xiu looked innocent, pursed his lips and said, "Dad, don't blame me!" Who told you not to ask, just put it in your mouth? ”

"And this thing is not poison, not as exaggerated as you say!"

Subsequently, Su Xiu introduced: "This thing is called chili pepper, which is a condiment similar to salt...... I'll get you a spicy hot pot tonight......"

Spicy hot pot?

Another Su Wenhai has never heard a new word.

Su Wenhai raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes were full of doubts, and he stared at Su Xiu and said, "Stinky boy, you tell the truth, where did you get these things?" ”

Su Xiu touched his nose, and then said what he had been preparing to say.

"This thing is really rare in our Dachu, including several surrounding countries!"

"But in the far west, this thing is everywhere!"

Su Wenhai heard the puzzled look in his eyes, and he was puzzled: "What do you mean?" ”

"A few months ago, I met a missionary who claimed to be from the West in a city called Yuerhai on the coast of Dachu, and he gave me these things!"

Su Xiu's remarks were half-true.

Really, the seeds of sweet potatoes, potatoes and other crops were indeed given by a missionary from the West.

But it's not a gift!

It was Su Xiu who snatched it from the other party.

When Su Wenhai heard Su Xiu's words, he fell completely silent.

At this moment, a middle-aged man over half a hundred years old, with slightly gray hair and a fat body, hurriedly ran to the backyard.

The middle-aged man gasped for breath as he stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the front yard.

"Old ...... Old...... Master...... No...... Oh no......"

Su Wenhai frowned, and scolded coldly: "What a panic, let your breath even out before you speak!" ”

The middle-aged man took a few deep breaths before he uttered a complete sentence.

"Master, the prince is here! Say it's here to preach the message! ”

Message?

When Su Wenhai and Su Xiu heard this, they glanced at each other, and they both saw shocked looks in each other's eyes.

Su Wenhai was just deposed from the post of prime minister yesterday, and today there is a will.

Could it be that His Majesty wants to take the opportunity to fall into the well?

Completely wiped out the Su family?

Thinking of this, Su Wenhai ran quickly towards the front yard.

And Su Xiu followed closely.

When the Su family father and son came to the front yard one after another, they saw a man in his early forties, dressed in silk and satin, pale as paper, and in his early forties, sitting on a Taishi chair in the front hall, leisurely sipping hot tea.

"Princess!"

Su Wenhai bowed and shouted.

The prince immediately put down the tea in his hand, stood up, and said in a sharp voice while saluting back: "Oh, Prime Minister, you are tormenting the old slave!" ”

Su Wenhai waved his hand again and again: "The old man is no longer the prime minister!" ”

Immediately afterwards, Su Wenhai asked directly: "I don't know what Your Majesty's will is when my father-in-law comes today?" ”

The prince looked at Su Xiu, who was standing behind Su Wenhai, and said with a slight smile: "Today, Your Majesty's will is not for Su Xiangyou, but for Ling Lang!" ”
