Chapter 164 I'm Watching You
The next day was the official day of the Assembly of Nations.How could Shen Yuanxi and Su Wanqiu not join in the fun?Why did the horses and horses come here?Because he was dressed up early in the morning, he went out in good spirits.

At this time, the pier is very lively, and the roads leading to the city are full of various stalls, and there are all kinds of specialties from Fanbang foreign countries and Daxia.

Many shops have also been rented out to sell more expensive boutiques.The Shen family has shops on several streets, and Shen Yuanxi still has to go and take care of his own business, command and dispatch, but he is so busy that he does not touch the ground. Su Wanqiu follows him, not worrying about everything, only focusing on finding the seeds he wants, but one day down, but found nothing.

"This is amazing." Back at the inn, they had dinner in the lobby, and the two walked towards the Tianziyuan, Shen Yuanxi said: "Yesterday I just met two foreigners during dinner, and I got two kinds of seeds. After running around for a day, there is no harvest, where can I go to reason?"

Su Wanqiu smiled and said: "Normal. Haven't you heard that if you want to plant flowers, you won't bloom, but you don't want to plant willows?"

Shen Yuanxi also laughed and said: "It can also be said that there is no place to find after breaking through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it."

"Right." Su Wanqiu snapped his fingers: "We must have this kind of optimism. In fact, I was overjoyed to be able to buy sweet potato and peanut seeds at this conference. It's just that human nature is greedy. When I get these two things, I always want to buy them." Seek to meet others."

Shen Yuanxi said: "What kind of seeds do you want? I'll ask the buddy to keep an eye on it for you."

Su Wanqiu shook his head: "How can you find this thing by paying attention? What's more, I see that there are all kinds of things sold at the conference, but there are no seeds."

Shen Yuanxi said: "This thing is related to water and soil. It is suitable for foreign crops. It may not be able to survive here. The land is the life of a family. It is not a strange experience like yours. Who dares to try to grow other crops casually, in case it is wasted What should I do with the harvest after a year? So even if it is shipped, it cannot be sold, so naturally no one will sell it.”

Su Wanqiu said: "That's the truth, and I understand it too, so I don't force it. You don't have to worry about me. Although I'm empty-handed this day, I followed you to many places, and watching you do business is also very interesting."

"It's good that you don't feel bored."

Shen Yuanxi shook his fan, stopped suddenly, and whispered, "What a coincidence?"

Su Wanqiu looked up, and saw that in the courtyard adjacent to Tianziyuan, the middle-aged man just went out yesterday and met them face to face.

"Boss. But it's better not to provoke."

She tilted her head and whispered something, Shen Yuanxi nodded, and whispered: "I also know, but I just pretend not to see it now, is it too late?"

As soon as the words fell, the middle-aged man smiled and said: "What are you busy with this day, little brother? No one is there. Come, come, come, it just so happens that the sun is setting at dusk and the breeze is blowing, let's chat for a while."

Su Wanqiu let out a "poof" laugh, shook his head and said, "Forget it, this big guy seems to be eyeing you, so you can chat with him for fifty cents, anyway, you, Young Master Shen, are a social cow, loved by women and children Suitable for all ages."

After speaking, he pursed his lips and smiled and entered the yard.Here Shen Yuanxi bared his teeth at her angrily, still thinking about what She Niu meant.

******************
After two days of busy work, the Ten Thousand Nations Conference was coming to an end, and the Shen family's business was also finished.

Shen Yuanxi and Su Wanqiu were walking on the street, and they saw that everyone was busy closing up stalls, and it was another busy scene.

"Who would have thought that good luck would be used up the day before the conference. In fact, you spent two days shopping in vain on the very day of the conference. But it's okay, the thing you're looking for is really unusual, and you can get two different things. It's been lucky."

Su Wanqiu nodded and said with a smile: "That's what I said too. I can't tell you, sweet potatoes and peanuts are the things I miss the most, and I can buy them all at once. God really treats me kindly, so although I have never met the latter two, I would Not disappointed either."

Shen Yuanxi asked curiously: "What are the other two things?"

After looking at the sky, he said: "Let's not rush back to Beijing. Tomorrow, we will simply rest in the inn for another day and set off to go back the next day. It's still early at the moment. I'll take you to see the pier. Over there Thousands of boats gathered in Qianfan, another lively scene. I was going to see it in the first two days, but was delayed by the Japanese spies. I was busy visiting the conference these two days, and when I came back, I said I didn’t even see the pier. You Wouldn't it be a waste of time? It's just that you are tired now? If you are tired, let's go back and have a rest."

"I'm a little tired, but it's okay. I hear you talking about the pier right now, and I feel full of energy."

Su Wanqiu finished speaking with a smile, and said softly: "The last two things I think are called corn and potatoes, both of which are high-yield products. Unfortunately, that corn can be compared with rice and wheat, and can really be used as rations, although the taste is rough However, the yield is high, and the land is not selected very much. If it is planted, it will save many lives during the famine."

Shen Yuanxi wondered: "Could it be that this sweet potato peanut and that horse... potatoes can't be used as rations?"

Su Wanqiu pondered for a moment, stretched out his hand and gestured: "It can be used as rations, but it's not real food. It's similar to soybean taro. Do you understand me when I say that?"

Shen Yuanxi suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "If I don't even understand this, what do I study? I am a fool. Tell me, what do corn and potatoes look like? What if I meet them in the future? You Wouldn't it be troublesome."

"Corn, people call it corn on the cob, about half a foot long, with a thin head and a thick tail, and densely packed golden grains on it..."

The two walked while talking, and after a short walk, they came to the pier.At that time, there were a lot of boats on the pier, and there were still coolie workers shuttling back and forth, but the scale was not comparable to that of the previous two days.

Su Wanqiu looked at it and couldn't help being greatly disappointed, and said to Shen Yuanxi: "How can a thousand sails gather more than ten thousand ships? You can count them yourself. There are not even seventy or eighty of these ships, and there are only two or three big ships. You are ashamed to say that it is lively." , I really haven’t seen the world before.”

Shen Yuanxi turned to look at her in surprise: "Isn't it? Even if I exaggerate, have you seen this world before? It's not your turn to be dismissive and talk nonsense here."

"What nonsense?" Su Wanqiu raised his eyebrows, and came to the plank road with his hands behind his back. Looking at the river, he recalled the port he had seen when he traveled in his previous life, and said leisurely: "Although I have never seen the big scene you mentioned in real life, But I also experienced it in my dream. The ships moored in those ports could not be seen at a glance, and I stood on the shore and looked up at the giant ship, which was three or five stories high..."

Shen Yuanxi came to her side, stood side by side with her, and listened to her talk about the grand occasion of the port in her dream, and she was also fascinated leisurely.

When Su Wanqiu finished speaking, he sighed and said, "I know, you said it's a seaport. The seaport... is naturally countless times bigger than Tongzhou Port. It's an endless sea. How many boats can you park? Look at this canal again. The surface of the water, what is it compared to the harbor?"
