Chapter 463 The Price of Obtaining Sweet Potatoes

Bai Sanzhuang knew that he couldn't hide anything from his sister.

He did have some twists and turns in bringing the sweet potatoes.

As soon as he arrived in the Nanyang islands, he looked for sweet potatoes, but he couldn't find them until he was about to return.

When he thought he would disappoint his sister this time.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Mei learned that he was going to help his sister find sweet potatoes, so after careful questioning, she decided to help him find them together.

He took out the sweet potato picture drawn by Xiao Fuyuan and handed it to Cheng Mei. Cheng Mei knew where the plant was at a glance.

She has seen it and eaten it.

The sweet potato that Xiao Fuyuan was looking for can only be grown in Lu Island.

But Lu Island was not in their plan for this trip.

Originally, Bai Sanzhuang wanted to go alone, but Cheng Mei insisted on going with him.

It wasn't until they arrived that they found out that Cheng Mei had a friendship with the chief of Lu Island. She had saved the life of the chief's son, and had also mediated conflicts between Lu Island and other islands for fresh water.

After Bai Sanzhuang followed Cheng Mei to Lu Island, the chief warmly entertained them, took them to visit the sweet potato fields all over the island, and invited them to eat various meals made of sweet potatoes.

I thought it would be easy to ask for a box of sweet potatoes to bring back.

Unexpectedly, the chief directly refused when he learned that they wanted to take the sweet potatoes back to places outside the island, and even became hostile to Bai Sanzhuang and others.

It turned out that the sweet potato was the food for Lu Island's life and livelihood. Not only would they not spread the planting method to outsiders, they even did not allow the sweet potato to be taken out of Lu Island.

After learning of Bai Sanzhuang's intentions, the chief sent people to closely monitor Bai Sanzhuang and others, lest he secretly take the sweet potatoes out of the island.

Bai Sanzhuang wanted to steal from the fields, but he couldn't find a chance.

In the end, it was Cheng Mei who persuaded the chief's son, and gave Lu Dao a box of sweet potatoes in exchange for several large boxes of gold, silver and jewelry and land supplies at a low price.

"Hey mom, how many boxes of gold, silver and jewelry can I exchange for a box of this thing?"

After everyone listened to Bai Sanzhuang's narration, You Jingui was the first to exclaim in surprise.

Although this thing tastes sweet and delicious, it is too expensive to exchange several large boxes of jewelry. How much is gold, silver and jewelry worth?

This thing can't even compare to food, and it costs such a big price.

"What my sister likes can't be compared with money."

Xie Chuntao also felt that the sweet potatoes in his mouth were no longer fragrant, but when he thought that large-scale planting of this thing could save lives, he felt that gold, silver and jewelry were worth it.

We must know that in times of famine, gold, silver and jewelry that are not eaten or drunk properly cannot save lives.

Eujingui wanted to roll his eyes.

The elder sister-in-law was holding her family's stinky feet to the point of losing her mind. It's only been a few days of good life, and she doesn't take gold, silver and jewelry seriously.

She doesn't even have a few sets of gold ornaments herself.

"It didn't cost you any money, and you can't stop your mouth if you eat delicious food?" The old lady Bai put down her chopsticks and pulled her face down.

Eujingui frightened and fell silent.

The old lady Bai, Mrs. Zhen and Bai Muban learned that Cheng Mei exchanged several large boxes of gold, silver and jewelry for a box of sweet potatoes, and the sweet potatoes weighed a thousand catties in their mouths.

Who would throw a lot of money at a child who has never met, just for a box of sweet potatoes?

Zhen Shi can do it, Bai Muban can do it, and Cheng Mei can do it too.

What does it mean?
The answer is of course self-evident.

"They spent so much money in exchange for these sweet potatoes, and a bite costs tens of taels of silver. I have to breed these sweet potatoes well, and I will give them to Cheng Da when the harvest is good next year." Bai Dazhuang said.

Bai Muban took a look at the boss, his thoughts turned a thousand times.

I just don't know if Cheng Mei wants sweet potatoes.

What if she wanted Xiao Fuyuan?

If she is really Xiao Fuyuan's mother, it's not wrong for her to return to her daughter.

It's just that the truth is this truth, and I can't think about it, and I don't want to.

But Xiao Fuyuan didn't know anything, eating sweet potatoes happily, and said to Bai Sanzhuang: "I don't know what to give her for the sweet potatoes that Aunt Cheng gave me."

Bai Sanzhuang patted his younger sister's head and said with a smile: "She likes your painting very much, my younger sister can draw another painting and give it to her."

Xiao Fuyuan nodded, this is simple!
"This sweet potato is so precious, do you want to give one to Ah Zhen?" Xie Chuntao thought that Ah Zhen would send any good things to her sister-in-law, and they should reciprocate.

Xiao Fuyuan also thought of this level, nodded to his sister-in-law and said, "Give him one. The rest will be bred for elder brother."

Thinking that sweet potato will be free next year, Xiao Fuyuan is very happy.

"Third Uncle, is Nanyang fun? Tell us about it." Da Lang finally took the opportunity to ask Third Uncle about Nanyang.

Bai Sanzhuang smiled and told about the things in Nanyang, and the vivid description attracted the family members.

"...Does Third Uncle really have a Lilliputian country? And a Daughter's country?" Sanlang asked excitedly.

These are what the little aunt read and told him in Ah Zhen's book.

Bai Sanzhuang shook his head and said, "No, that's all bluffing. People in Nanyang are similar to us, they all have one nose and two pairs of eyes, they're just darker and shorter."

Saburo was a little resentful.

"There are many adventures along the way, right?" Zhen asked with concern.

The third child has lost weight, so he must have suffered a lot along the way.She had long wanted to ask the third son how much he had suffered along the way, but because of the preparations for the full moon ceremony for the twins, and the fact that the third son should spend more time with his wife when he returned home, she never had the opportunity to ask.

"Third Brother, I must have suffered a lot along the way." Xiao Fuyuan said.

Bai Sanzhuang laughed, besides his daughter-in-law, it was his mother and younger sister who cared most about him.

"... once encountered a violent storm... almost capsized the ship... and encountered pirates..."

Bai Sanzhuang recalled the thrilling experience at sea. At that time, he felt that he had escaped death, but now he told his family members, but his heart was very peaceful.

After all, no matter what, he returned home safely.

Not only did he return home safely, but he also brought a large amount of silver, spices from Nanyang and rare goods.

"San'er has worked hard." Zhen said distressedly.

Bai Sanzhuang said with a smile: "I was not injured or exposed to the rain, and even the pirate didn't come close to me. A group of pirates tripped over the rope when they touched my cabin, and fell into the sea like a dumpling."

When Bai Sanzhuang thought of this, he couldn't laugh or laugh more than he was frightened.

After hearing this, Bai Muban sighed: "It's all thanks to your sister. If you hadn't hugged her when you went to Nanyang, if you hadn't carried the safe characters written by your sister with you, I'm afraid this trip would not have been so smooth. .”

Bai Sanzhuang nodded, deeply convinced of what his father said.

Indeed it is.

Otherwise, there is no way to explain it. Even Cheng Mei was surprised that his first voyage to Nanyang went so smoothly.

"Thanks to your sister for the success of this trip, give some of the money you earned to your sister." The old lady Bai said.

Bai Sanzhuang nodded and said, "Mai Miao and I have already discussed it."

After the meal, Mrs. Bai, Mrs. Zhen and others continued to take inventory of the things Bai Sanzhuang had brought in the upper room.

Qiu Niang went to the embroidery workshop, Xie Chuntao and You Jingui cleaned up the dishes.

And Xiao Fuyuan went to Ah Zhen with a big sweet potato in her arms.

"what is this?"

"sweet potato."

"What are sweet potatoes?"

"It's edible, sweet and fragrant."
