Plane Mall: I became a group favorite by hoarding goods

Even though potatoes are the jewel in front, the high yield of corn still makes the officials excited.

You must know that today’s wheat yield per mu in Dayan is only about 200 kilograms, and this value has not changed for hundreds of years. The contrast between 200 and 900 is equally significant and makes people cry.

"With potatoes in the front and corn in the back, people will no longer be hungry!"

"The blessings of the common people, the blessings of Great Yan, and the blessings of our ancestors——"

Many officials who cared about the people cried with joy, and the Department of Agriculture and Agriculture under the Ministry of Household Affairs was even more tearful. They wanted to hug the corn cobs and not let go. Some of them knelt down and bowed to the sky three times.

"Hey Xingluo, you are so lucky. How come you can find all kinds of high-yielding crops?"

The folding fan in Qin Zheng's hand was blown up. He was happy for his friend and for the people all over the world.

Yu Heting's fists tightened in excitement, and he rarely lost his previous composure. He came from a poor background and knew the importance of food.

On the other hand, Shen Xingluo's expression did not change when he heard about the production volume, and it was not clear whether he was happy or worried at all.

In fact, he didn't think the output was high.

The yield of 900 kilograms per mu is only the yield at the time of harvest, which also includes the moisture of the corn itself. If it is dried to meet the storage standards, two to three hundred kilograms will have to be removed no matter what.

Calculated in this way, the yield per mu is only about 700 kilograms, which is still far behind the modern yield that often exceeds 1,000 kilograms.

However, you have to eat the food one bite at a time, and leave the rest to Sinong. You can't let him do everything in the Hanlin Academy.

"Wang An."

"exist."

"How is the food prepared in the kitchen?"

"Go back to the young master, I have already prepared it, but do you want someone to bring it to you?"

"Serve."

"Yes."

Wang An responded loudly, and then gave instructions to the boy beside him, who immediately walked towards the village with windy steps.

So while everyone was still immersed in the huge yield per acre, several kinds of delicacies made from corn were served on the table, and bursts of rich aroma suddenly filled the air.

"Master Shen, are these all made from corn?"

Fu Chengqi waved his fan and asked, with an elegant smile on his handsome face.

Corn is naturally yellow and orange, and its color is as pleasant as gold. You can tell the raw materials at just one glance after putting it into the dish, making it very easy to find.

"When I return to your Highness, I will eat corn. Your Highnesses, please use it."

"Then my prince, let me taste what this corn tastes like."

After Fu Chengqi picked up a stick of corn and took a bite, the third prince and the other officials picked up their chopsticks to taste the food. For a while, there was a swallowing sound in the thatched pavilion.

Thanks to Cheng Xi's bad taste, the reception before lunch was really unsatisfactory. It was a stroke of luck to get a delicious meal after waiting all morning.

“Delicious, so delicious!”

When the food came into his mouth, a man who couldn't hold himself back made a sound of shock.

The whole boiled corn kernels are plump and distinct, the pork ribs polenta is rich in fragrance, the fried golden corn on both sides is crunchy when you bite it, and the spicy chicken corn kernels combine spicy, salty and sweet flavors to make it delicious. A novel experience for people.

Not surprisingly, everyone's mouths were full of oil, and even the natural flavor of boiled corn was very appetizing.

"This, this corn can actually make so much food?"

“It tastes strong and leaves a fragrant aroma in your mouth~”

"One stick of boiled corn will fill your stomach. Wow, wow!"

"It can be used as a staple food or as a vegetable. It is said to be drought-tolerant. It can be grown twice a year in the south. It is really a wonder!"

"Although this golden pancake has a rough texture, its crunchy texture is very delicious."

Compliments were blurted out in an endless stream, and everyone had to say something, as if not saying a word would not reflect their presence at all.

Fu Chengqi and Fu Chengxian both enjoyed the meal equally, and even the unhappiness caused by the failed attempt to win over them was reduced a bit.

Now I have an explanation with my father!
It's a pity that this great credit is not his.

But it doesn't matter, the days ahead are still long. The two men looked at the corn pile with thoughtful and determined eyes.

***
As the corn harvested in Shenjia Village was transported to the capital, Shen Xingluo became famous.

Now not only the officials remembered his name, but also the people in the capital and even the well-informed people in the world. At the same time, the place name Shenjia Village was mentioned again and again.

"Sister-in-law, the neighbors have sent a lot of food. They say that my brother is a good official and has discovered so much high-yielding grain for the people, which is worthy of admiration."

"What have you given?"

"Most of them are seasonal vegetables, there are also a lot of fruits, and there are also some cloths and handicrafts."

Shen Xingqi had already made a thorough inventory and made a list. This was a habit she developed after taking charge of the business.

However, fruits in this era were very valuable, and most of the fruits that ordinary families were willing to give away were not of good quality. She singled them out, changed hands, and gave them away again.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry. We have all given gifts to the neighbors in return. We will only give a lot more."

"Well done. The neighbors in the alley have not benefited directly from our family. The reason why they come to give gifts is just out of respect for your brother."

"Yes, although the capital is prosperous, not everyone has extra money. I also put some thought into their gifts."

As a neighbor, Shen Xingqi has some knowledge of the conditions of the nearby houses, and is more or less aware of the weight of these thank-you gifts.

The little girl thought that the families had gotten along very well since they moved here. She rolled her black eyes and had an idea.

"In return, I prepared pastries and fruit wine as usual. I saw that they were very curious about potatoes. Maybe they didn't mention them because they were too rare. Should we send some over to try them out?"

"Good suggestion. Your Majesty has the grace to keep some of the potatoes harvested by our family for our own consumption."

Having fun alone is not as good as having fun together. The neighbors must have been curious about potatoes for a long time.

"Then I'll go and give each family a pound or two!"

Shen Xingqi was very happy that her suggestion was adopted. When she went to the kitchen and came out, she had a bamboo basket full of potatoes in her hand. The weight of about dozens of kilograms looked light in her hands.

"Wangshu, let's go, I'll take you to make your presence felt!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two figures disappeared in the backyard like a whirlwind.

Cheng Xi laughed. Why does the Shen family need to establish a sense of presence now?
Presumably everyone in the world will remember it soon.

"It's amazing, the Shen family's name will be famous forever, isn't it 666?"

[Yes, yes, the young lady is so powerful! 】

"This does not mean that I am powerful. It is obviously your host who is powerful. Of course, you are also very powerful!"

【ha? 】

What does this have to do with it?

666 looked confused.

[Aren’t potatoes and corn grown in the little sister’s space? 】

"What can those potatoes in my villa do? Besides, you can't grow the corn in the refrigerator."

Cheng Xi was speechless, "Have you forgotten that your host discovered the high-yielding grain seeds after he drew the plane experience card and went to the apocalyptic plane?"

Her space is just a place for farming. Without her, Shen Xingluo and the system alone would have allowed potatoes and corn to be planted all over Dayan, but the time would have to be pushed back a few years.

"This credit is too great. I still want to be proud. I don't dare to take it. I don't dare to accept it."

【Yes roar! Sure enough, I am the most powerful person in the galaxy, yo ho ho ho! ! ! 】

Cheng Xi: "."

There is no need to be so arrogant.

"Then do you still need such a big credit in the future?"

【I want it, I want it! 】

"Then you have to be obedient and do more for the benefit of your host. Maybe one day you can overturn the host system."

[Can I still be so awesome? ! 】

"You still have to have dreams, right?"

[Yes, yes, don’t worry, little sister, we are a family! 】

Cheng Xi: Perfect.

Shen Xingqi and Wang Shu came back soon, and the bamboo baskets they were carrying had been emptied.

At noon that day, the whole alley was filled with the scent of steamed potatoes. Occasionally, there was a fragrance of shredded potatoes stir-fried in lard from two houses. At the same time, there were also children who were surprised by "how delicious and fragrant" they were. The shouts and the laughter and scoldings of the elders in the family.

The Shen family seemed to be infected by this festive atmosphere and had another sumptuous potato feast at noon.

After the mighty potato harvest wind blows, Zuifenglou in Beijing launched a signature dish called spicy and sour potato shreds.

Because the raw materials are hard to come by, only ten portions of this dish are available every day, and the price is set at a whopping five taels of silver.

It's a bit expensive, but there are still many people flocking to it. It is said that the restaurant's orders have been booked for half a month.

Shen Xingluo is still on duty every day, but compared to before, he can meet smiling people and greet them wherever he goes. Anyone who meets him can smile a bit.

The person involved was able to deal with this with ease. Whether it was testing or trying to win over, he could calmly block it. Gradually, his colleagues looked at him with more solemn eyes.

Cheng Xi received a lot of invitations, ranging from palace banquets to family members of sixth- and seventh-rank officials. However, in just three days, there was a mountain of invitations to invite her.

Shen Xingqi also received many personal invitations, but the little girl was distressed.

"This, so much? Do you all want to go?"

"No, just pick a few."

Backyard diplomacy is unavoidable no matter where you go. You can’t push it all and you can’t ignore it all. There is a lot of knowledge involved.

Just teach the little girl how to deal with it.

"You can go with me these days. Maybe you can make some friends of similar age."

"Then I will follow my sister-in-law."

So the sister-in-law and sister-in-law no longer had the usual days of eating, drinking and having fun. In addition to studying medicine and training, they also have one more thing to do, and that is to dress themselves up beautifully - chatting.

After picking through the pile of invitations, only a thin layer was left.

At this time, the information Fuguang had collected finally came into use. In the study, the information on officials of all sizes in the capital was placed, and the information was read over and over again.

Soon, Shen Xingqi discovered something strange.

Her sister-in-law’s ability to choose someone to chat with is simply top-notch!
There was no one who was arrogant and domineering, and there was no one with his nostrils turned up in the air. The female relatives who came to visit all spoke kindly and took good care of her, and the juniors in the family had all kinds of personalities.

A smart little girl would naturally not think that all the women in the capital are so easy to talk to. Such a result must be the result of her sister-in-law.

Well, it’s another day when my sister-in-law is omnipotent~(*^▽^*)~
Cheng Xi: Really not!

Fuguang, who is responsible for collecting information: I have no sense of existence, right?

***
In the hot summer, potato seedlings for the new season are being cultivated again.

The small green seedlings growing from the tiger's mouth were all over the suburbs of the capital, and every household was allocated a small amount of the seedlings. A popular promotion from the capital to the outside world began.

The vassal kings wandering around the capital successfully obtained a certain amount of grain seeds after arguing with the court. Taking advantage of this wave of nursery turmoil, they no longer dared to stay, and all dressed up and headed towards their fiefdoms.

We should never delay such a big thing as farming.

Once these people left, the capital became much quieter than before, and life seemed to have returned to its original state.

The hot weather is becoming less and less suitable for going out. Even if the family stores ice cubes in winter, it is a rare thing. The invitations sent to Shen's house are getting fewer and fewer every day.

"You don't have to deal with large and small banquets anymore."

Shen Xingqi breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she can cope with the temptations of our ladies, she is very tired!

The days of having to turn around a few corners to say anything all day long were really too much for her. She would rather fight the mutated beasts for 800 rounds.

"It's not okay to think about lying down at a young age. You can't lose your youthful spirit."

Cheng Xi felt that the little girl had been led astray by him, and her temper was getting closer to him.

"Has a new product from Qingmin Pavilion been developed?"

"what--"

Shen Xingqi's relieved tone was mentioned again, "Well, I'm not in a hurry. The store just launched a new product last month."

Oops, she's not a qualified time management guru yet!
"I'm not rushing you, just take your time."

"I know."

“It’s hot these days, remember to bring a few extra ice stones with you.”

Cheng Xi paused and had a new idea, "Let me string a bracelet for you."

When the weather got hot, she had the foresight to buy a batch of ice stones from the plant plane for cooling. The sky blue and extremely transparent style looked like pieces of fine jade, and glass was the best for growing water. Kind of like that.

Of course, it's just a direction.

If compared to the rarity and the use of the stone itself, ice stone is rarer than jade.

"Your brother has been carving jade lately. Since they are all minerals, he should also be able to carve ice stones."

"Is that so?"

Carved jade?

Why didn't she see it?
Shen Xingqi glanced at the white jade hairpin that her sister-in-law used to fix her hair, and suddenly felt a little bloated in her stomach.

"I want to grind beads too, and some more. My sister-in-law and I will bring one string each. Oh yes, there is also hope!"

Just not to my brother.

Who told him to only think about his wife~╭(╯^╰)╮~
Cheng Xi had no idea what she was planning in her heart and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I have everything. Although I don't have your brother's increasingly sophisticated carving skills, I can still grind a few beads. Let's grind more later."

After you're done, just punch a few holes in the middle, it's very simple.

So the two of them took out a set of tools and started working. They first divided the large ice stones into small equal parts, and then started grinding them one by one with sandpaper according to the standard. (End of chapter)
