Koi adopted daughter jumps over the farm gate

Chapter 484 Successful Breeding
"Since this thing can be used as food and can be cultivated..."

The Empress Dowager pondered for a while, and ordered Nanny Chang: "Take it to the Emperor, and tell it what it does."

Nanny Chang said with a smile: "Queen Mother, this is something the Eldest Miss filially gave you a try."

The queen mother waved her hand and said, "I have accepted my heart. It is more important for the people of the world to have enough food than for me to try something new."

Nanny Chang nodded and took the sweet potatoes.

The emperor didn't pay much attention to sweet potatoes at first. After all, the vassal states in Nanyang don't know how many treasures they pay tribute every year, let alone a mere sweet potato.

After hearing that Xiao Fuyuan asked Bai Sanzhuang to find it from Nanyang, thinking of the rumors about Xiao Fuyuan's good fortune, he ordered someone to bring it to Si Nong's office for cultivation.

In the evening, the Empress Dowager chatted with Nanny Chang about the rare Nanyang things that Cheng Mei had offered.

"...You say it's a coincidence, this time she went with the third young master of the young lady's family." Nanny Chang raised her mouth inadvertently.

The queen mother smiled and said: "There is no such thing as a coincidence. I think that things that seem to be coincidences in this world are arranged with great effort."

Nanny Chang didn't dare to answer.

Speaking of Cheng Mei, the queen mother sighed, "I always feel ashamed of her mother."

Thinking of Cheng Mei's burnt face and her changed identity, the Queen Mother felt pity and pain in her heart.

Nanny Chang's eyes were wet.

The mother of Cheng Mei mentioned by the queen mother was the other maid of the queen mother, Ah Hua, who had a deep sisterly relationship with Nanny Chang.

Back then, the queen mother was robbed on the way to get married, and Ah Hua was washed away.

Two years later, the queen mother, who was already married to King Jing, learned that Ah Hua was regarded as her after being separated from everyone, and set foot on the team of marriage.

What a trick of fate.

Originally, the Empress Dowager took the place of the princess to get married, but unexpectedly, the person who got married became Ah Hua.

A Hua was weak in nature, suffered a lot in Xiyue Kingdom, and passed away in a hurry after giving birth to her daughter.

Her daughter Lin Ran, who is now the businesswoman Cheng Mei, secretly brought tokens and followed camel merchants to the border to find the Queen Mother who was still Princess Jing when she was a child.

"...If I had known earlier, I should have pointed out a marriage to her, instead of letting her follow Shen Junshan to Huaicheng."

Nanny Chang said cautiously: "Queen Mother, you are just too thoughtful."

But no, since she was young, the Empress Dowager has endured what she shouldn't have, the fate of her family and the fate of her old friend.

This made her never really smile for a moment.

Let's talk about Lin Ran, that is, Cheng Mei who came to the border from Xiyue Kingdom back then, ate and lived with the son of the caravan leader, Shen Junshan, and had a childhood friendship. How can such a fate be stopped?
Besides, Shen Junshan's death was not caused by the queen mother, and Lin Ran's transformation into Cheng Mei had nothing to do with the queen mother.

But the queen mother always kept it in her heart, thinking that Lin Ran and Shen Junshan would not have fallen into such a situation if King Kang had not coveted the throne and harmed the innocent.

"I heard that Ah Ran had a daughter before, but can she find it now?" the queen mother asked.

Nanny Chang thought for a while and said, "I don't think I haven't. I heard that because of missing her, she went to Bai's house to meet the village owner Furong."

The queen mother was silent for a long while, then suddenly said: "The young son of Zhongjinghou's family has passed the full moon ceremony, right? When you grow up, come and read with Ah Zhen, Ah Zhen will always come back."

Nanny Chang said: "It's been two months."

At the same time, he was very surprised that the Empress Dowager clearly gave him Ruyi with a handle jade as a gift during the full moon ceremony of the young prince last month.

"Since the son will enter the palace as an accompanying student in the future, let the eldest lady accompany her mother at home in the future."

Nanny Chang's heart moved, she was about to dissolve the engagement between the First Prince and Zhongjinghou's Mansion.

She wondered why the Empress Dowager was involved from Cheng Mei to Furong Township Lord and then to Zhongjinghou's Mansion.

They are all waiting here.

But this marriage contract has already been released, so unraveling the outside at this time will not make a bad guess for the eldest lady of the Zhongjing Hou Mansion.

"Let the old master make a report, just say that the two people don't match, and request to cancel the engagement." The Queen Mother ordered Chang Nanny.

Nanny Chang agreed and breathed a sigh of relief.

……

Fast forward to April.

Shenshu Village is also a rural scene in deep spring like the sea.

Compared with last year's drought, this year's weather is smooth and the wheat has begun to head. It looks like a good harvest year.

"Brother, the sweet potato seedlings have really sprouted!"

Xiao Fuyuan, who came back from the private school, saw her elder brother standing next to his "experimental field" holding a grass-like vine and couldn't keep her mouth shut. She hurried over to see what happened.

In order to live up to his sister's sweet potato seeds and to ensure the survival rate, Bai Dazhuang built a shed in the "experimental field" and covered it with mud and wheat straw to create a warm and dry environment for the sweet potatoes.

Under the meticulous care of Bai Dazhuang like a child, the first batch of sweet potato seedlings was finally freshly baked.

Bai Dazhuang carefully tore off a seedling and heaved a sigh of relief.

It seems that the cultivation method is on the right track!
I originally thought that sweet potatoes were put into the soil like peanuts, and they were allowed to germinate and grow freely.

It seems not.

What my sister said is right, sweet potatoes are roots, not seeds, so they are naturally planted by cuttings.

"Sister, it's done."

Bai Dazhuang handed the sweet potato seedlings to his sister.

He plans to plant part of it in the vegetable field at home, and interplant the rest in the field.

The fields in the countryside are very precious, and they are filled with crops every minute, and no one will use the extra land to grow unknown crops.

In case of failure, wouldn't a quarter of land be wasted in vain.

There are not many people who dare to take a piece of land to plant new crops like Bai Dazhuang.

"Brother, I will be able to eat roasted sweet potatoes from now on." Xiao Fuyuan couldn't help drooling thinking about the sweetness of roasted sweet potatoes.

Guilt filled Bai Dazhuang's heart, his sister resisted her desire to eat sweet potatoes so much, and gave him sweet potatoes to grow.

If it fails, I am so sorry for my sister.

"Yes, I will definitely be able to eat it, brother will assure you."

Originally, Bai Dazhuang didn't know what to do. Facing his sister's desire to eat roasted sweet potatoes, he had to plant them.

"Brother, when will this seedling be planted?" Xiao Fuyuan asked.

"Plant today."

Bai Dazhuang got into the greenhouse, carefully pulled out the sweet potato seedlings from the sweet potatoes, handed them to Xiao Fuyuan and said, "Sister, touch them and tell them a good harvest."

Xiao Fuyuan smiled, took the sweet potato seedlings, and said one by one: "Big harvest, big harvest."

Bai Dazhuang was relieved, he felt that the batch of sweet potato seedlings he cultivated would definitely succeed.

He Shun frowned when he received the letter from the Sinong Office in the capital.

It was mentioned in the letter that the sweet potatoes given to the queen mother were sent to Sinonong to be cultivated. I don't know if the people who cultivated the sweet potatoes were careless or not skilled.

The Sinong Department was severely reprimanded by the emperor, and wrote a letter begging He Shun to ask for new sweet potatoes to make up for it.

He Shun felt bitter, where could he get some new sweet potatoes?

After thinking about it, I still went to Lao Bai's house.

As soon as he came to the yard, he saw Xiao Fuyuan squatting in the vegetable field, with a row of green seedlings in front of him.

"Uncle He." Xiao Fuyuan greeted He Shun.

He Shun walked over with a smile and asked, "Little Yuanbao, what are you doing?"

Xiao Fuyuan pointed to Bai Dazhuang, who was sweating profusely in the vegetable field, and said, "I see that brother is planting sweet potatoes?"

He Shun watched for a long time, isn't Bai Dazhuang planting rice seedlings?

So he asked, "Where is the sweet potato?

Xiao Fuyuan pointed to the tender seedlings in front of her, and said, "This is the sweet potato seedlings."

He Shun looked at it for a long time, and the seedlings no longer looked like sweet potatoes.

Bai Dazhuang walked over, rubbed his hands full of mud, and said, "Housekeeper He, these seedlings are grown from sweet potatoes, and they can grow sweet potatoes when they are planted in the ground."

He Shun couldn't ask for sweet potatoes right now.

What else do you want? Bai Dazhuang has successfully raised seedlings.

It also deserved the scolding of the Agricultural Department, a large group of people are not as good as the farmer Bai Dazhuang.
