Chapter 164 Shen Jia and Xiao Yichen were scolded

Shen Jiate liked the unrestrained feeling of galloping horses. Her legs clamped hard on Dabai's horse's belly. Dabai let out a high-pitched neigh, spread his four hooves, and galloped forward like an arrow off the string.

Xiao Yichen looked at the heroic Shen Jia on the horse, the tenderness in his eyes almost overflowing.

She is noble, elegant, free and easy, caring, smart, confident, smart, lively, and kind. How can he not love her like this? He is just afraid that he does not love her deeply enough, and he is just afraid that he is not good enough to her. He was just afraid that he wasn't qualified to stand by her side.

The two of them soon arrived at the Baixian County Government Office. They told Chu Xingyu about the road construction and gave him the banknote before leaving the county office.

They are going to Shaqin Village, the most remote mountain village in Bai County.

They heard that the grapefruit in Shaqin Village was particularly delicious, so they went to see if they could vigorously develop grapefruit cultivation.

"A Chen, I think the two of us can build a big boat specifically to transport the specialties from our two fiefdoms to other places for sale."

"Jiajia can also build ships?"

"I don't know how! If we meet someone in this field in the future and we can trick him into helping us build a few luxurious ships, well! In addition to being convenient for us, we can also send people to go to sea to see other countries."

"Okay! That's what I had in mind. Ever since you told me about other countries last time, I've been thinking about it in my mind."

Shen Jia had previously told Xiao Yichen the shortcomings of seclusion in his previous life, the invasion of the Eight Kingdoms, and the invasion by the Japs, and he couldn't sleep that night.

He thought a lot, about the current situation of the court, and what he would do to make the Zhou Dynasty prosperous and powerful, and the country peaceful and the people safe, if he sat on it in the future. Thinking about how he would keep Shen Jia if he failed...

"Take your time and it will happen one day."

"Ok!"

Shaqin Village is relatively large, with about fifty households. There are not many such large villages in Lingnan. It looks a little wealthier than Heshui Village. Most of the houses are made of mud bricks.

The two led the horse into the village, attracting the attention of many people, and someone immediately went to report to the village elders.

Soon an old man with white eyebrows and beard, but a ruddy face and a cheerful look came over.

Patriarch Hu saw that they had red lips, white teeth, and a distinguished temperament. He knew at a glance that their identities were extraordinary. He hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "I am the village elder of Shaqin Village and the patriarch of the tribe named Hu. Who are you looking for?"

Shen Jia saluted and said, "Well done, Chief Hu! We are from Yixian County. We heard that the grapefruit here are particularly delicious, so we went here to buy some grapefruit and take them back."

"So you want to buy grapefruit! Please come with me!" Patriarch Hu said kindly.

Patriarch Hu took them to a hillside not far from the village.

At a glance, more than a dozen tall and sturdy grapefruit trees are covered with goose-yellow grapefruits. A breeze blows and the branches sway.

"Clan Chief Hu, can we try one?" Shen Jia wanted to try to see if it tastes really delicious.

"of course can!"

Shen Jia held the grapefruit in her arms, turned it around a few times, picked it, and weighed it. It was so heavy! It is estimated to be more than five kilograms.

She took out the dagger and prepared to cut the skin, but Xiao Yichen took it and said, "Let me do it."

Xiao Yichen took the dagger and "swish, swish, swish" and cut open the outer skin of the grapefruit a few times. The flesh was plump and the color was crystal clear. A fresh fragrance hit the nostrils, making people feel refreshed.

Shen Jia broke off a piece of the pulp and put it into his mouth. It tasted sweet and had a unique honey aroma, which was delicious.

She broke off another piece of pulp. Xiao Yichen opened his mouth obediently, waiting for Shen Jia to feed him.

Shen Jia peeled off the white skin and put the pulp into his mouth. Xiao Yichen narrowed his eyes in intoxication.

When Patriarch Hu saw this, his face turned livid, and his beard stood up with anger. The world was declining, and these two young gentlemen actually behaved so shamelessly in broad daylight. He muttered: "Shameless!"

Shen Jia's head was full of black lines. She just saw Xiao Yichen holding a dagger in one hand and a grapefruit in the other. She couldn't tear off the skin of the grapefruit, so she stuffed a piece of grapefruit into him. Was she being scolded for being shameless?

Um! Seemingly going a bit too far, Shen Jia winked at Xiao Yichen and asked him to handle it.

Xiao Yichen received Shen Jia's hint and immediately stepped forward to salute and said, "Please forgive me, Chief Hu! We are an unmarried couple. It was our fault that we got carried away for a while and behaved in an unruly manner."

After Patriarch Hu heard that they were an unmarried couple, his face looked much better, but he still scolded angrily: "Even if you are an unmarried couple, you should be more affectionate than polite, especially you, the little girl. , you should be more reserved, and you must protect your reputation."

"Yes, yes, we will definitely change it in the future." The two of them responded with an excellent attitude.

Patriarch Hu's kind face showed a satisfied smile.

The two secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, instead of being scolded at home, I was scolded outside.

Shen Zhuoyun and Gu screamed that they were wronged: Didn't we tell you? We talk to you every day, but you can’t listen to a word of it. What can we do?

Xiao Yichen quickly changed the subject: "Chief Hu, do every household in your village grow grapefruit?"

Patriarch Hu nodded: "More or less, we have planted some."

"Why don't I see you selling it?" Shen Jia asked.

Patriarch Hu sighed and said: "Shaqin Village is far away from the county seat. It takes four hours to come and go. A grapefruit only sells for a penny, and a load of grapefruits can't be sold for even a few cents, so everyone stays here." Eat it yourself or give it to relatives and friends.”

"A penny each is really too cheap. No wonder you would rather let the grapefruits grow on the trees than pick them to sell in the county."

"Let's do this! Chief Hu, you pick all the grapefruits. We want them all for a penny a pound."

"Seriously?" Patriarch Hu said excitedly.

"real."

Patriarch Hu turned around and was about to leave, but Shen Jia stopped him: "Chief Hu, the princess has allocated funds for you to build roads and encouraged people to do business. This means that you will not have to worry about selling your agricultural products in the future. You can mobilize your relatives and friends to join us." Plant more grapefruit and try to develop your place into a grapefruit village."

"Building roads, Pomelo Village?" Patriarch Hu had also been to the county seat for a meeting. He had no doubts about what Shen Jia said. He stood there and thought for a long time. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. The light in his eyes was amazing.

"You two young masters, please follow me to sit in my humble residence." Patriarch Hu invited.

"We have something else to do, so we'll leave first. These ten taels of silver are the deposit for the grapefruits. You pick them first. Someone will come and take the grapefruits away tomorrow."

After Shen Jia finished speaking, she and Xiao Yichen left.

This time, the two did not dare to hold hands.

Patriarch Hu looked at the two people's retreating figures, and then looked at the silver in his hand. He felt as if he had been in a dream, which was a bit unreal. He pinched his thigh hard. It hurt, but the money was still there. He was so happy that he rushed back to the village to tell every household the good news.

Shen Jia and Xiao Yichen left the village.
