"No."

Zuo Chong shook his head coldly.

He also hopes that this kid will come back. Since he last left Ming Dynasty, he has not come back to see this old man.

But the fact is that this kid only asked someone to bring a letter and a lot of things back.

The thing he had on hand was pointed out to Chu Ze.

"What on earth is this?" Zuo Chong came over and looked curiously into Chu Ze's hand.

Because it was specified that it was for someone else, Zuo Chong could not open it first.

The letter didn't say what it was.

Until then, he didn't know what was in the box.

only……

It’s just a painting, why is it so mysterious?

But this painting is really beautiful.

The colors are bright and bright, like the sun.

As soon as the picture was opened, the light in the whole room seemed to brighten.

It was something Daming had never seen before.

If you put it up for sale, you will definitely get a high price.

As expected of a businessman, the first thing Zuo Chong thought of was how much it could be sold for.

Zuo Chong's eyes almost turned into ingot shapes.

Chu Ze put the picture away vigilantly, looked at him, and warned: "Let me tell you, this thing belongs to us, don't try to take advantage of it."

This is a sunflower, also known as sunflower.

The seeds that grow are the famous melon seeds.

Zuo Ying actually saw sunflower flowers, which meant that someone there must have seen sunflowers.

That means that they can advance the arrival time of sunflowers in China by dozens or even hundreds of years!

Then he can crack melon seeds, fry melon seeds, boil melon seeds, and use melon seeds to make snacks.

He can even have melon seed oil if he wants.

Ah, this life is beautiful just thinking about it.

He finally doesn't have to peel peanuts every day.

Chu Ze quickly rolled up the picture, picked up the box, and prepared to put it in.

As soon as he picked up the box, he found a smaller box on the side of the box.

The box is small and boxy, only about the size of a palm.

The color is consistent with the color of the outside box, and the two fit together very well.

As a result, Chu Ze didn't even see it at first glance.

Until then, as he moved, the box tilted, and the small box inside slid a little to one side, leaving a slight gap at the end close to the wall of the box, otherwise Chu Ze might not be able to discover it. .

The moment he saw the box, Chu Ze's eyes lit up.

He quickly put the scroll aside, picked up the big box, reached out and pulled out the small box inside.

Then it shook.

There was no sound.

"Strange, did we guess wrong?"

Why is there no sound?

Chu Ze couldn't figure it out.

Zuo Chong couldn't figure it out even more.

He looked at Chu Ze doubtfully and asked, "Your Majesty, is there anything wrong with this box?"

Although this box-within-a-box was something he didn't expect.

But Chu Ze’s attitude is too strange, right?

It was like seeing a big surprise.

Chu Ze shook his head and said, "We'll know what's wrong with it when we open it." He took the box and looked around. After finding the opening, he pushed hard with his fingers, and the lid of the box was opened instantly. What I saw inside was a ball of cloth.

Chu Ze took out the ball of cloth.

"Why is there a ball of cloth in here?" Zuo Chong stretched out his hand and tried to take the ball of cloth.

As soon as he raised his hand, he saw Chu Ze put down the ball of cloth and said, "There is still a piece of paper inside."

There was writing on it, and Chu Ze had an intuition that it was a letter.

And it was a letter Zuo Ying wrote to himself.

Then in this ball of cloth... Chu Ze's eyes brightened again, and the corners of his mouth rose crazily, and he couldn't hold it down.

The heartbeat was pounding.

Chu Ze himself could hear it.

Originally, he was quite anxious and wanted to see what was wrapped in the cloth.

After seeing this letter, Chu Ze was not in a hurry.

He wanted to see what Zuo Ying wrote for him first.

Chu Ze put the cloth aside and opened the letter.

It turns out to be Zuo Ying's handwriting inside.

There is not much content in the letter. It starts with greetings about Chu Ze's current situation, and then briefly mentions his current situation.

Chu Ze read all these contents at a glance. He knew what he had written, but he did not read them word by word. When he reached the second half of the letter, Chu Ze's reading speed immediately slowed down.

He read down word by word, fearing that he would miss even one word.

Because the content in the second half is all about how he obtained this painting and how he found these details.

There is even a short section on how to grow sunflowers and their functions.

I was afraid that Chu Ze would not recognize it.

In the last paragraph, he told Chu Ze: "The seeds are of precious origin and the quantity is not large, so they are wrapped in cloth to prevent damage on the road."

Seeing this, Chu Ze stood up excitedly.

"Great job Zuo Ying!"

Fortunately, Zuo Chong gave way quickly, otherwise Chu Ze would have knocked him over if he suddenly stood up.

But he agreed with Chu Ze's words.

His son is capable.

Lo and behold, I found some seeds for the prince again.

And judging from Chu Ze's expression, he is very beautiful about this seed.

The seeds that satisfy Chu Ze will probably satisfy the emperor.

Now, his position as an imperial merchant is almost certain.

Zuo Chong couldn't help but feel happy when he thought of this.

Chu Ze heard this and thought he was happy because his son was praised.

But he really should be happy.

The father worked hard for the people in the disaster area, and the son brought sunflower seeds to the Ming Dynasty.

After these two great achievements were reported, Zhu Yuanzhang had the nerve not to benefit the Zuo family?

What advantage does a businessman have compared to the title of Royal Merchant?

The Zuo family has decided on the position of imperial merchant.

Chu Ze didn't know that at this moment, his brain circuit and Zuo Chong's were magically connected.

He put down the letter and picked up the ball of cloth again.

This time, Chu Ze's grip on the cloth was relaxed.

For fear of crushing the seeds inside.

The cloth unfolded one by one, revealing the sunflower seeds inside.

There were not many sunflower seeds, only a handful as big as the palm of his hand. Chu Ze visually inspected it and found that there were less than twenty.

And it's very small, like the seeds of an ornamental sunflower.

But Chu Ze was very satisfied.

As long as there are seeds, it is only a matter of time before they are cultivated into modern melon seeds.

These seeds can later give birth to sunflower flowers that are larger than a washbasin.

Chu Ze looked at these seeds excitedly.

Zuo Chong reached out and pinched one.

"Your Majesty, what kind of seed is this?" It looks strange. I have never seen it before.

Zuo Chong pinched the sunflower seeds and looked left and right.

Chu Ze let him hold it and look at it, and explained: "This is the seed of a sunflower. The sunflower is the flower painted on the flower just now." Worried that Zuo Chong had forgotten, he deliberately opened the picture again and let Zuo Chong look.

Zuo Chong looked at the painting, then looked at the seeds in his hand, and said in surprise: "How can such a small seed bloom such a beautiful flower?"

It's amazing.

"It's not just about blooming, it's also edible." When it came to eating, Chu Ze was the first to snatch the seeds back.

There are not many seeds in the first place, but Zuo Chong cannot let them go to waste. (End of chapter)
