Hall.

Su Youmin made an invitation gesture and asked Zheng Wenchang to sit down.

"Master Zheng, long time no see." Su Youmin said with a smile.

Su Youmin and Zheng Wenchang are now officials in the same court, but Zheng Wenchang has been promoted and needs to go to court every day.

Although Su Youmin is the Marquis of Anyuan, he has no real power and does not need to go to court. He only needs to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Therefore, the two of them almost never saw each other again after entering Beijing.

"Uncle, now that you are the Marquis, how can I dare to bear the title of lord?"

Zheng Wenchang was joking, but he was sighing in his heart.

When Su Youmin faced him in the past, although he pretended to be calm, his nervousness could still be seen with a clear eye.

Now, Su Youmin sounded frightened, but he was no longer as nervous as before.

It seems that Su Youmin has adapted to the identity of the Marquis and is doing well.

Su Youmin waved his hand nonchalantly, "If it weren't for you, my Su family wouldn't be what it is today. Sir, you can afford this."

Zheng Wenchang smiled and stopped worrying about the matter. He pointed to the two bamboo baskets on the ground and said, "Uncle, these are the fruits my caravan brought from the coast. You can try them."

Su Youmin had not seen the fruits along the coast, so he looked up curiously. When he saw that the things in the bamboo basket were covered with spikes, he suddenly wondered: "This thing looks weird, can it really be eaten?"

Zheng Wenchang nodded and explained: "This fruit is called pineapple. Peel it clean and soak it in salt water before eating."

As soon as Su Zhaozhao walked to the door, when he heard the word pineapple, his eyes suddenly lit up, he let go of Mrs. Su's hand and ran in.

She walked to the bamboo basket and saw that it was really a pineapple. She was so greedy that her mouth almost watered.

[Ahhhh, it’s really a pineapple! 】

God knows, since Su Zhaozhao was able to eat, she found that the fruit in Chu State was appallingly scarce!

On weekdays, what she sees most are peaches, apricots, plums, tangerines, and mulberries.

As for her favorite watermelons, strawberries, and durians, Mrs. Su and the others have never even heard of them, let alone seeing them.

Now, as long as it's not peaches and apricots, any new fruit can move her to tears.

[Woo woo woo, my summer, my youth is back! 】

Mrs. Su, who was following behind her, had black streaks all over her head: What's wrong with youth? Honey, please wake up, you are only one and a half years old!

[I want to eat two, no, I want to eat ten! 】

Seeing Su Zhaozhao sniffing the pineapple vigorously, Zheng Wenchang knew that this fruit was the right gift.

As expected of him, the flattery just hits the horse’s ass!

Yes, that's right, this fruit is mainly given to Su Zhaozhao, and it is incidental to everyone else.

Although the achievements of the Su family are now difficult to reach, Su Zhaozhao's voice is even more desirable.

If it hadn't been for Su Zhaozhao last time, I'm afraid his family would have been killed by the Nine Tribes!

At this moment Zheng Wenchang decided to send any fresh fruits to Su Zhaozhao in the future.

Zheng Wenchang: If you hold your thigh well, you can avoid trouble early!

Su Youmin/Mr. Su: What is professional? This is called professional!

"Sir, how do you grow this pineapple? I want to try it?" Su Youmin said suddenly.

Since my good granddaughter likes to eat, of course I have to satisfy her.

He wants to plant two acres of pineapples for his sweet granddaughter to eat!

"Uncle, pineapples can only be grown in hot places. It is relatively cold here in the capital, so pineapples cannot be grown." Zheng Wenchang explained.

"Have you tried it?" Su Youmin said unwillingly. Finally, his good granddaughter found something he liked to eat, and he didn't want to give it up.

Zheng Wenchang nodded, "Some people have tried it before, but without success. Not to mention the capital, even the summers along the coast have not been hot enough in recent years, which has caused pineapples to ripen late. In the past, pineapples could ripen in April, but this time In a few years, it takes almost May to mature.”

"Ah, isn't it hot in summer? Why do I feel like it's always hot in summer?" Su Youmin said subconsciously.

Mrs. Su nodded. She also felt that summer was very hot.

"It's true. Summer has come later and later in the past few years, and it's not as hot as before." Zheng Wenchang explained. After thinking about it, he added: "I remember that in the past few years, the capital was already very hot at this time. Every year in June, His Majesty will go to the Summer Palace to escape the summer heat, and will not return to the palace until the summer heat subsides in October, but since the year before last, His Majesty has not gone to the Summer Palace to escape the summer heat."

Su Youmin and Mrs. Su were stunned when they heard this. They used to have to work in the fields every day and were so exhausted that they had no time to think about the weather.

But listening to what Zheng Wenchang said, they did feel that it was not as hot as before in the past few years.

[No way, there is also a Xiaohe Ice Age here? 】

Su Youmin and three others: What was the Xiaohe Ice Age? Expand and talk...

[Judging from the background, it is really possible that the Xiaohe Ice Age has arrived]

[I remember that the characteristics of the Xiaohe Ice Age were cool summers, severe cold winters, frequent droughts and floods, and abnormal climate]

[No wonder there were various natural disasters and reduced food production in previous lives. It seems that they were all caused by the Xiaohe Ice Age]

The three of them felt a huge wave of excitement in their hearts. When they heard that the summer was cool, they felt that this was good, at least the summer would not be so difficult.

But what they heard now is that the Xiaohe Ice Age will lead to a reduction in food production!

After a while, the three of them comforted themselves in their hearts. This small river ice age is not a lifetime, and it will be over.

In all their life, they had never seen any natural disasters, and they would probably be gone within five years at most.

This small river ice age is nothing to be afraid of at first glance!

[It’s over, the Xiaohe Ice Age lasted from tens to hundreds of years]

[If the background is correct, this Xiaohe Ice Age will last about three hundred years]

There were cracks on the faces of Su Youmin and the other two people. What does three hundred years mean?

They don't even know how many generations of great-grandchildren they have, and this natural disaster has not passed yet!

I take back what I just said, this small river ice age is our lifelong enemy!

Su Youmin sighed in his heart. He seemed to understand why the war in his previous life was like that.

In the past, natural disasters occurred in a city, which would lead to wars, not to mention that in the previous life, natural disasters occurred all over the country, and food production was reduced. It would be strange if the country was not in chaos.

It seems that his research will be stepped up, and he must develop more high-yielding grain varieties before chaos occurs in the future.

Zheng Wenchang sat for a while and finished a large plate of pineapples. When he heard nothing, he stood up and left.

As soon as he left, Su Youmin also returned to his study and took the time to study his own grain.

Mrs. Su went to find Su Meihua and discuss with her about making clothes for the winter.

After hearing Mrs. Su's purpose, Su Meihua said with a puzzled face: "Mom, are you confused? It's only May and you have to make winter clothes?"

"I heard it's cold in the capital, and the few clothes we have are not enough to keep out the cold. How can we do it if we don't prepare in advance?" Mrs. Su said confidently.

"But it's too early. It's five months ahead of schedule." Su Meihua said helplessly.

"In addition to wearing it for our family, you can also make more to sell in the winter." Mrs. Su said, gently tapping Su Meihua's forehead.

Su Meihua suddenly understood and immediately understood what Mrs. Su meant.

"Mom, what kind of clothes do you want to make?"

"down jacket."
