When Zhao Mingxuan arrived at the Hope Academy a little later, he only felt much more deserted than usual.

Ji Xiaoduo is planting potatoes in the back garden with her adopted children.

Zhao Mingxuan didn't bring anyone with him, and walked over slowly.

A child saw him first and pulled Ji Xiaoduo.

Ji Xiaoduo raised his head and smiled when he saw that it was him, "Why are you here?"

Seeing that she was in a good mood, Zhao Mingxuan's gloomy face eased a little, but he still couldn't help asking, "What about the other students?"

"It's a holiday. ”

"Is it because of the rumors?"

"Half and half. Let them go back and figure out whether they want to continue to come to school, and we just happened to sort out the staff. ”

Ji Xiaoduo finished what he was doing, came out of the ground, and went to wash his hands first.

Zhao Mingxuan looked at the small piece of land that had been enclosed, "This is what you asked the people of the Chen family to bring back?"

"Hmm. Ji Xiaoduo said, "This is a potato, the yield is very high, and it is not very picky, it can be used as a vegetable, and it can also be used as food in a famine year." I'll give it a try, and if it's okay, maybe I'll have a harvest at the end of the year. ”

She drew all kinds of crops that she could think of, and asked the Chen family's caravan to inquire around.

What she wanted most at the time was rubber, and the Chen family brought her back potatoes.

The steward of the caravan was meticulous, and he dug up a lot of roots and leaves for her.

The locals can't say what it is, but there were people who ate this thing and got poisoned, and it was difficult to breathe after vomiting and diarrhea, so no one dared to eat it after that, and no one planted it, so a piece grew in the field.

According to Ji Xiaoduo's original world, potatoes originated in the Americas, and they would only be brought back to Eurasia when they could be navigated to the ocean.

But the geography of the world didn't seem to be the same as she remembered, and ...... After all, there are ghosts, gods, and fairies. No matter how wide the ocean is, it is difficult to resist the immortal family that soars through the clouds.

Or maybe in this world, the origin of potatoes is different.

In short, Shaozhou didn't, the Chen family brought it back to her, and Ji Xiaoduo wanted to try to grow one.

Anyway, she herself is quite fond of eating potatoes.

Zhao Mingxuan now had no doubt about Ji Xiaoduo's words. If she says she can eat it, she will definitely eat it, and she says that the yield is high...... He couldn't help asking, "How much is the yield per mu?"

This Ji Xiaoduo really doesn't know very well, after all, in her previous life, her concept of these things only came from the book network, and she didn't really grow anything - planting onions on the balcony doesn't count.

She thought about it and estimated uncertainly: "Two or three thousand catties?"

Zhao Mingxuan was taken aback, "How many?"

Aren't you afraid of flashing your tongue?

Although he has never farmed before, he has been worrying about food lately.

The so-called "one acre and ten husks are called good fields", that is, one acre of land can harvest ten husks of grain, which is already regarded as a high-yield and good field. This has to be carefully cultivated in the wind and rain. Ten pounds of rice are converted into catties, and it is less than three hundred catties.

Ji Xiaoduo's opening doubled tenfold, and he couldn't believe it anyway.

Zhao Mingxuan looked at the small piece of land circled by Ji Xiaoduo and said, "Don't you know how big an acre is, or how much a pound weighs?"

Ji Xiaoduo was actually not very sure in his heart, so he didn't fight with him for this, and snorted, "I just heard that I haven't planted it myself before, so isn't this just a good time to try." ”

Anyway, if it can be harvested at the end of the year, it will only be a few months, and the real output will be known by then.

Zhao Mingxuan didn't have to talk about winning or losing, and asked again: "You came to plant this potato now, what about the bicycle before?"

"They're doing it, and now they want to change the three-wheeled to two-wheeled, so it's smaller and lighter. Master Yuan, they are trying to figure out how to adjust the balance. ”

Zhao Mingxuan had an impression of this Master Yuan, and couldn't help frowning, "This person is from the carpenter's side who beat people last time, right? Come here at this time, maybe you have other intentions, and you will directly let him participate in the research of this new product?"

"He's not the only one, so many people are watching, he can't destroy it, at most he can learn some technology. Ji Xiaoduo didn't care, but smiled, "Seriously, just in terms of carpentry, his skills are better than the ones I originally hired." It's hard to say who will learn whom. ”

"What if he steals the blueprints and someone else builds them before you do?"

"Then even if they're great. ”

Ji Xiaoduo said this, not only as a future person's self-confidence, but also really felt that it would be good if someone else could study it. It also saves her trouble.

Anyway, she just wants to have something to improve her life, and she doesn't have to make it herself.

Looking at Zhao Mingxuan's eyes, he seemed a little unconvinced, Ji Xiaoduo explained: "The so-called 'innovation', the focus is on 'innovation', if someone just steals our design, then do it once." We're still working on improving the plan, and even if they do it first, we're confident we'll do better. But if they improve on this foundation and really surpass us, then of course they are great. ”

In fact, whether it is a toothbrush or a bicycle, it was not Ji Xiaoduo's own invention originally, she just provided a direction, and the rest is the credit of the craftsmen.

Ji Xiaoduo has never underestimated the wisdom of the ancients.

However, whether the person on her side breaks through first, or the other party is more powerful, it doesn't really make much difference to her.

She felt that she had only guided a way of thinking, and as long as someone could take it, it didn't matter who it was.

Just like this school, she only put forward a concept, specifically when it comes to management teaching, all of whom are born and raised here. As long as someone can accept it, she will light the fire.

As for making money...... She can't make all the money in the world by herself anyway.

Zhao Mingxuan didn't speak for a long time.

Of course, he could see that Ji Xiaoduo was sincere when he said this.

But I only feel that this woman is getting more and more incomprehensible.

Don't mention anything else, just now with this kind of generosity, Zhao Mingxuan is ashamed of himself.

How can you give up what you have in your hands to others? If it were him, I would rather destroy it, and no one would want to do it!

He looked at Ji Xiaoduo for a while, and couldn't help asking: "You do so many things, but in the end you don't care about fame and fortune, what do you want?"

She took the benefits of business out and subsidized money to run a school, especially the night school, which was not rewarded at all. Let's talk about the name of the picture, now that it is rumored to be like this, the students are gone, and she is not in a hurry.

"Who's going to know that? Ji Xiaoduo laughed, "It's just a matter of taking one step at a time." After all...... Who knows what will happen tomorrow?"

She paused for a moment and continued: "When I was in Baihualou, I just wanted to be able to redeem myself and leave there one day. It turned out to be you for some reason. A while ago, I was really bent on just making money to pay off my debts. It turned out to be useless. Now that this is the case, it is better to do something while you are a backer, no matter what the result is, it will not be in vain for me to go to the world. ”

Zhao Mingxuan: ......

It turns out that she still knows that he is her backer?

Why does he feel that his backer is so aggrieved?

However, what Ji Xiaoduo said is right, who doesn't take one step at a time?

Don't talk about her, it's himself, isn't he being urged to move forward day by day?

Zhao Mingxuan thought of his mother's matter again, and reminded Ji Xiaoduo casually: "If my mother invites you over, you don't have to pay attention to it, don't eat anything to give you, don't use it." If she dares to ask someone to use force, you will let people beat her. ”

Mrs. Zhao will not end up by herself, and a few servants and women will fight and fight.

Ji Xiaoduo raised her eyebrows puzzled.

Zhao Mingxuan briefly said today's matter, "Oh, I don't have to cook anything for her in the future." ”

Ji Xiaoduo almost didn't squirt out, "What a big person." What are you angry with your mother? ”

Zhao Mingxuan snorted.

He also knew that it was a bit naïve to take the snacks away, but at the time it was ...... When he grew so big, did his mother think about him a little?

Ji Xiaoduo sighed, "Alas, now your mother has to hate me to death." ”

Zhao Mingxuan snorted again, "It's right to hate me." ”

"No, you don't. As a mother, it's okay to be partial to your son for a while, but if you want to hate, you must hate that foreign woman. ”

Ji Xiaoduo was also a little helpless, she had been brushing her good feelings for so long in the open, but it was useless.

Fortunately, she is not a serious daughter-in-law, so it would be good to avoid it in the future.
