Abandoned Daughter's Beautiful Pastoral

Chapter 345 Hurt, go home (5)
After reading the letter, Zhang Xiaocao quickly replied and asked Tian Qi to take it back. Looking at Tian Qi who left, she finally let go of her heart!
When eating at night, Feng Yi felt that his daughter was in a better mood, and asked jokingly: "You are in a good mood, have you picked up gold?"

Zhang Xiaocao smiled and said, "I'm more happy than picking up gold!"

Feng Yi didn't ask her what happened, but said: "It's all right now, you don't have to go back with a sad face, lest Aunt Zhang think that your foster father won't give you food!"

As soon as she heard about the meal, Zhang Xiaocao stared at this unscrupulous foster father sadly. She has been fed too much recently, and she obviously felt that she had gained a lot of weight, with flesh on her waist!
Feng Yi seemed to know what she was thinking, and retorted carelessly: "Don't blame the foster father, who taught this kid to always wait until you can't eat any leftovers!"

When Zhang Xiaocao heard it, all the next words were blocked in her throat, her face was blushing, and she couldn't say any more!
Lin Zhaoyuan, who was involved, listened to the quarrel between the father and daughter with relish, and silently ate a lot of food left in Zhang Xiaocao's bowl. Ever since he ate the girl's leftovers at Jun's house for the first time, he felt that the rice in the girl's bowl It tastes better than your own, and you will be addicted to it!

The windbreaker clicked his tongue, he was completely convinced of this future son-in-law, no wonder the girl would fall in love with him, alas, young people nowadays are so bold, he is old!

Zhang Xiaocao felt overwhelmed by her adoptive father, and quickly diverted his attention: "Father, I told you before that I will go home after the Lantern Festival. You should go and see it together!"

Feng Yi smiled and said: "That's natural. It's already rude to recognize you as a girl without Aunt Zhang's consent. Now that the adoptive father is a junior, visiting is a must!"

"Then you can ask for a few more days off, preferably three months, and relax in Zhangjia Village. I will cook delicious food for my adoptive father every day!"

"That's what you said, but three months is too long, the emperor may not allow it, but two months can still be won by the adoptive father, but, do you really want to leave after the Lantern Festival? It's still cold now, why don't you Will you go back after the first month?"

How could Zhang Xiaocao agree, she really missed grandma and Mu Hua so much: "I'm homesick and crazy, and besides, I'm not at home for two or three months, and the farming work at home needs to be arranged as soon as possible. The species that came from overseas are planning to try planting, if they go back after the first month, there will be no time to raise seedlings, and those things will be useless if they miss the seedling period!"

When the windbreaker heard it, he was very interested: "What is that? For use or for food?"

Zhang Xiaocao was thinking about the method of raising potato seedlings, and said casually: "It is edible, just like jicama, tuber, but it can be eaten as a vegetable or as a meal, and the output should be similar to jicama! "

Feng Yi grabbed Zhang Xiaocao excitedly, and urged: "Tell me more in detail, that thing can really be eaten, and the yield is the same as jicama?"

Zhang Xiaocao looked helplessly at the impatient adoptive father, afraid that the old man would not be able to withstand the stimulation, and said quickly: "Father, calm down, calm down! This is true, I discovered that thing by accident, and there are It was also recorded in the book, but I also forgot it was that book, so I plan to try to plant it, if it is really as the book says, then this thing called potatoes is really a good thing!"

"It's not only a good thing, if it succeeds, and then spread it, even if unfortunately there is a famine year, you don't have to worry about not having food relief!"

Feng Yi’s happiness comes from the bottom of his heart. He has no family and has devoted half his life to the court, but what he cares about most is the people. Every time there is a famine, he looks at the hungry people everywhere, and he feels that he has done something. Not enough, now that there is high-yield grain, how can he not be happy!
Zhang Xiaocao shook his head, his adoptive father was so happy, he could imagine that it didn't happen, and it would be impossible to plant potatoes less than [-] catties in less than ten years!
After the excitement, Feng Yi calmed down, and said in a deep voice: "This is a big event. I will enter the palace now and report to the emperor, asking him to give me a few more months of leave. I will go to Zhangjia Village to guard until you say That potato seed was successful!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaocao quickly asked: "If this matter gets out, no one will make trouble?"

In fact, potatoes are not difficult to grow, and she is sure to grow them, but the vibration produced by potatoes is no lower than that of cotton. If someone stares at this piece of fat, there is no guarantee that all kinds of troubles will not happen like cotton!

Feng Yi explained: "So for the sake of prudence, the emperor must know about this matter. With him in charge, whoever dares to make a bad idea is courting death!"

Lin Zhaoyuan also said: "There are a lot of people staring at you about Mian Mian. Many people know that he has recognized you as his adoptive daughter. If they can't please your adoptive father, they will try their best to please you. If you don't live here , I am afraid that I can receive invitations every day, so it is better to tell the emperor about this matter, and you can do it boldly with confidence!"

Zhang Xiaocao slapped her head fiercely. She only wanted to let people know that someone would make trouble, but she never thought that with the support of the emperor, no one would dare to act rashly!
"Then foster father, you should go quickly. I don't know how long the growth period of potatoes is. You'd better convince the emperor to give you more time. Well, half a year is best!"

Zhangjia Village should be on the edge of the subtropical zone. It is absolutely no problem to plant two seasons of potatoes a year. In fact, as long as the seedlings are planted, they will mature in three to four months. She wants her adoptive father to relax for a while, so she deliberately said so long!
The windbreaker nodded, didn't even change his clothes, and rode into the palace overnight!

After Lanzhi Luwu cleared the table and left, Zhang Xiaocao sat beside Lin Zhaoyuan, wondering, "Why don't you want to put this on the Third Prince this time?"

He knew the benefits of potatoes when he bought them back then, but he hasn't said to help the third prince until now!

Lin Zhaoyuan shook her little hand and explained: "It's enough to do this once. If you do too much, that person will suspect that Le Ting and the three of them will suffer, especially Cheng Yuanpeng and Peng Feng. They are all implicated behind their backs." With the aristocratic family, we can no longer take risks!"

Zhang Xiaocao didn't really understand the twists and turns in it. After reading the history of her previous life, she also knew that the emperor could not tolerate the aristocratic family being big. Many government turmoil was caused by the power struggle between the aristocratic family and the emperor!
An hour and a half later, Feng Yi came back overjoyed. As expected, the emperor granted him half a year's leave, and ordered a few officials who were familiar with farming to accompany him. Search for potatoes, and if you can find them, you will be rewarded!

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaocao asked in a financial ecstasy: "Didn't the emperor say he would give me a reward? The last time I planted cotton, I was rewarded with 500 taels of gold!"

Feng Yi tapped her forehead amusedly: "If you grow it, you will naturally be rewarded, but if you don't grow it... If he gets the reward, won't he be at a loss?"
