Chapter 658: Potatoes and Tomatoes Found

"But Your Highness, I'm here to report another blessing!"

Shen Zhuang said again!

Guo An was stunned, "Another joy?"

Shen Zhuang said: "Your Highness, it's potatoes and tomatoes!"

"Potatoes and tomatoes?"

Guo An stood up instantly and stared at Shen Zhuang with expectation on his face.

"Did they really find the potatoes and tomatoes?"

"Back to Your Highness, I will look at the drawings given by Your Highness. They should be potatoes and tomatoes!"

Although his words were still a little uncertain, his expression was very confident.

"And the villain has already brought these two things!"

"Where?"

Guo An asked hurriedly.

Shen Zhuang said: "Just outside the house!"

"Let's go! I'll go take a look!"

Guo An walked out quickly.

Outside the Shunde Prince's Mansion, a group of guards were surrounding six large wooden boxes.

Everyone looked at the green plants on the wooden box in the middle with curiosity and excitement on their faces.

"See Your Highness!"

"See Your Highness!"

Suddenly, there were several salutes, and all the guards looked solemn and quickly moved out of the way.

Guo An walked quickly down the path, which was only three people wide, and came directly to the six large wooden boxes in the middle.

The familiar plants planted in two of the wooden boxes directly caught Guo An's attention.

From bottom to top, there are layers of leaves like cattail fans, and among these large leaves are strings of oval-shaped green leaves.

The most important thing is that there are actually strings of small red lanterns, pink lanterns, and green lanterns hanging on the rhizomes of these leaves!

Smooth and pleasant, but like poisonous fruits!

"It's a tomato!"

Guo An was delighted and looked at the plants on the two wooden boxes aside.

The leaves of the plants on the two wooden boxes are smaller than the tomato leaves next to them, and they are also much flatter and rounder.

However, the leaves of these plants are already somewhat dry.

Thinking.

Guo An directly pulled one up with his hands.

Below, there are several round, fist-sized khaki fruits hanging.

On the side, Shen Zhuang, Xu Yong and other guards were all shocked.

"Your Highness, is this also a fruit?"

"Correct!"

Guo An nodded slightly, with a smile on his face.

"This is just like a sweet potato!"

"Can you eat this too?"

Xu Yong asked again.

"Can!"

Guo An nodded slightly, then looked at Shen Zhuang aside.

"This time, you have made a great contribution again! Sweet potatoes cannot be used as a staple food, but potatoes can!

Moreover, it tastes much better than wheat and rice! "

"An auspicious food comparable to sweet potatoes?"

Shen Zhuang was immediately overjoyed and his whole body was shaking with excitement.

Guo An added: "The most important thing is that these tomatoes can be used for cooking or eaten as fruits, and they taste even more delicious!"

"Cooking?"

Shen Zhuang's expression froze immediately.

Xu Yong also looked nervous.

"Your Highness, the tomato looks so beautiful. Could it be some kind of poisonous fruit? Or are you going to try it?"

"Poison fruit?"

Guo An shook his head directly, "You can rest assured, I can admit my mistakes in other matters, but Tomato can never be wrong!"

As he said that, Guo An couldn't help but think of the sweet and sour taste, as well as the various dishes made with tomatoes...

"Gulu~"

He swallowed subconsciously.

Xu Yong, Shen Zhuang and others couldn't help but look weird.

"Cough cough..."

Guo An coughed lightly, and then said nonchalantly: "Xu Yong, first carry this box of tomatoes into the back garden!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Xu Yong responded and quickly arranged for a few guards to start carrying the tomato boxes.

Then, looking at the remaining large wooden boxes, he asked: "Your Highness, what should I do with these remaining wooden boxes?"

“All the potatoes in this box were dug out and put in the back garden to dry.

As for the remaining boxes..."

With that said, Guo An continued to look at the remaining two wooden boxes.

"vomit……"

Inside a wooden box, there were actually rotten and dried tomatoes.

In the other one, there was a box of potatoes.

However, those potatoes have begun to rot, and even the few that are not rotten are already covered with purple buds!

"Select all the potatoes with sprouts, cut them into pieces, sprouts facing up, and bury them in the back garden!

The distance is about the same as that of a sweet potato! "

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Xu Yong responded with a serious face.

"Also! Send some people to take out these rotten tomatoes, wash them in dry soil, and pick out all the tomato seeds inside!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Xu Yong responded quickly.

Guo An nodded slightly and walked directly to the back garden.

And this will.

In the back garden, those precious flowers and plants that had just been planted for a year were thrown aside like weeds.

Some guards worked hard.

Princess Liu Baiwei of Shunde County, concubine Yue Lan, as well as Guo Han, Guo Lu and others were all standing under the octagonal pavilion in the distance, watching this scene with curiosity.

Seeing Guo An coming in, several people rushed to greet him.

"father!"

"Your Highness!"

"Dad, you found something good again. Why do you want to pull out these flowers and plants that mom just planted?"

"Yes, Dad, we have pulled out so much this time. Our house has been expanded a lot, but if we continue to pull out so much, our back garden will have to be pulled out again!"

"If you keep nagging me, I'll let you go in and pull weeds too!"

Guo An glared at Guo Lu fiercely, "You are so young, but you are already so fat.

If your kid doesn't practice martial arts well and lose weight, I will control your kid's diet! "

"No, dad..."

Guo Lu was immediately shocked. If he was not allowed to eat those delicacies, it would cost him his life.

"Dad, the child is not strong enough now to defeat those boys from the Xu family and the Li family. He needs to eat more..."

"As the second son of the Prince of Shunde, you know how to fight and show off your courage all day long. Do you want to be a vanguard general who takes orders from others?"

Guo An hated that iron could not become steel, but he was too lazy to argue with Guo Lu.

This kid is unexpectedly tough.

If Zhu Gaochi had been half as honest back then, he wouldn't have been able to control him at all...

Thinking about it, Guo An shook his head slightly, not daring to continue thinking about it.

Immediately, he stepped forward and kicked Guo Lu on the butt. Guo Lu jumped forward a few steps with a look of grievance on his face.

"Dad, if you can't defeat me, just do it. I want..."

"Go, pull the weeds and dig the ground."

Guo An ignored it and directly assigned: "These lands are all used to grow potatoes and tomatoes!

Needless to say, potatoes don’t taste as delicious as sweet potatoes.

However, tomatoes, whether eaten as fruit, stir-fried, cooked noodles, or hot pot, are a must-have! "

"Really?"

Guo Lu's eyes suddenly lit up.

Guo An couldn't help but said angrily again: "When have I ever lied to you about food?" "Hahaha, thank you dad!"

Guo Lu was immediately overjoyed. He didn't care about the flowers, grass and dust in the garden. He jumped in directly, grabbed the iron catalpa from a guard, and shoveled it up.

On the side, Liu Baiwei and Yue Lan were speechless as they looked at Guo Lu who was fucking very enthusiastically.

Could it be that the blood inheritance of the Guo family is so powerful?
Even if he has become the second son of Shunde County Prince, he can obtain the title of General of the Kingdom when he reaches adulthood.

But I didn’t expect that I still like farming so much?

At this time.

Xu Yong finally walked in with a team of guards, carefully carrying the large wooden box containing the tomatoes.

Liu Baiwei, Yue Lan and others suddenly looked curious.

"Your Highness, what is this?"

"tomato!"

Guo An smiled slightly, then stepped forward, picked off a red tomato with his hands, wiped it casually, and put it in his mouth.

"Your Highness, no!"

Xu Yong's expression changed drastically.

On the side, Liu Baiwei and Yue Lan seemed to remember something and were suddenly shocked.

"Your Highness..."

Unfortunately, they were still a step too late, and the tomato had already entered Guo An's mouth.

Guo An even closed his eyes in great enjoyment and had endless aftertaste.

"..."

All around, there was silence.

Everyone looked at Guo An with worried faces.

"hiss……"

Suddenly, Guo An grinned and took a few quick puffs.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"

"Come on, get a doctor!"

Liu Baiwei, Xu Yong and others' expressions suddenly changed.

"Need not!"

Guo An quickly spoke to dissuade him.

Then, noticing the worried expressions of Liu Baiwei, Xu Yong and others, he smiled slightly and said, "That tomato is a bit too sour, hiss... I haven't experienced such sourness in a long time, I can't help it!"

"Your Highness, just be fine!"

Liu Baiwei, Xu Yong and others immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately, Liu Baiwei said with some annoyance: "How could your Highness be so reckless? The tomatoes look so bright and red. If they contain toxins, wouldn't it be..."

"Don't worry, sister!"

Guo An smiled softly, "Those people in the fleet dare to bring these tomatoes back to Ming Dynasty!
When they were in the West, they would definitely examine these tomatoes carefully.

They can even try a few pills, they won’t be poisonous! "

"In this case, your Highness' status should be respected and you should be cautious."

Liu Baiwei said still a little worried.

Yue Lan, Xu Yong and others also nodded.

Guo An said hurriedly: "Okay, okay, I will pay attention next time!"

"..."

Seeing Guo An's very perfunctory answer, Liu Baiwei, Yue Lan and others couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

Just in time, the butler Guo Ang also walked in with a group of servants, carrying several baskets of potatoes.

"Your Highness, all the potatoes that can be planted have been picked out!"

Guo An took a look and was not sure whether these potatoes could still be grown.

However, he still waved his hand casually.

"Cut everything up and throw it into the fields they have prepared!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Guo Ang responded excitedly. Just as he was about to give instructions, he thought of something and stopped again, looking a little embarrassed.

"But I'm sorry, I don't know how to cut it..."

"random!"

Guo An waved his hand directly, "Who knows whether these potatoes can still be grown?
All you need to do is cut the sprouts into pieces with the potatoes, about the same thickness as your big and small thumbs, then bury them in them and pour some water on them! "

"Yes, Your Highness!"

At this time, Guo Ang understood and quickly ordered his servants to start working.

As for fertilizing?
In the back garden of Shunde County Prince's Mansion, every piece of land is the most fertile land in the world.

Of course, it may not be as fertile as the black soil in Liaodong!

Xu Yong asked again: "Your Highness, I wonder what to do with the two big boxes left outside the mansion?"

"leftover?"

Guo An suddenly woke up and said quickly: "Quickly take the people, load these two big boxes into the carriage, follow us into the palace, and report the good news to His Majesty!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Xu Yong responded quickly.

Shen Zhuang, who had been following him without saying a word, also looked overjoyed.

As long as the two large wooden boxes outside arrive at the palace gate, his achievements in Shen Zhuang will be presented to His Majesty again, and to the whole world.

Even if His Majesty is in a good mood, his Viscount can be promoted to another level!
Thinking about it, Shen Zhuang couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Guo An was somewhat aware of this, glanced at it, and ignored it.

……

Wulou.

An official ran over from a distance with a happy face and fast steps.

Then, jog all the way into the hall.

"Slave, please see Your Majesty!"

Seeing this, Zhu Di, who was checking Wang Zhen's secret message from Shandong, frowned slightly.

"Why are you so anxious?"

"Your Majesty, you are so happy!"

The eunuch hurriedly said: "The Prince of Shunde brought two large wooden boxes of plants outside the palace, saying that they were grain brought back by the fleet from the Western barbarians!"

"Ok?"

Zhu Di stood up instantly and stared at the eunuch closely.

"Did Prince Shunde find auspicious food for my Ming Dynasty again?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I don't know this, but Prince Shunde..."

"Summon Prince Shunde!"

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Di said directly, "Let Prince Shunde bring those two big wooden boxes in too!"

"The slaves obey the orders!"

The eunuch quickly stood up and walked out quickly.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

In the hall, Yi Shiha quickly congratulated with a beaming face.

Zhu Di looked at him in disbelief and asked slowly: "Do you also think that Guo Qing has found two auspicious foods for our Ming Dynasty?"

Yi Shiha said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, Your Highness the County Prince is not that kind of person who mobilizes troops and mobilizes the masses.

Now that there is such a big fanfare, something big must have happened. "

"Yes!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, with a look of expectation in his eyes.

"If Guo Thief can find two auspicious foods for our Ming Dynasty this time, then our country and the country of Ming Dynasty will definitely be a few percent more stable!"

"Your Majesty, it will definitely be possible..."

Yi Shiha quickly said auspicious words again.

However, this time Zhu Di did not continue to say anything, but stood up and walked out.

at the same time.

Following a group of imperial guards, Guo An and the two large wooden boxes slowly walked in from outside the palace gate.

The Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, as well as the Sixth Department and the Governor's Office also heard some rumors, and all of them hurriedly came out to watch.

Even Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Fu, Fang Xiaoru and other seven ministers in Wenyuan Pavilion came out to watch.

"Your Highness, what is this red fruit?"

"Your Highness, what kind of treasure are these plants that are about to wither and turn yellow?"

"His Royal Highness..."

"Don't ask any more questions. If you want to know what this is, I will explain it when I get in front of His Majesty later!"

Guo An just bowed his hands to the surrounding Ming ministers and walked forward quickly.

Around him, a group of important ministers of the third, second and even first and super grades of the Ming Dynasty just smiled helplessly and hurriedly followed.
