Fields of Gold

“Shh - keep your voice down, don't let those guards hear you!” Few villagers in Dongshan Village did not recognize the Yangxian King, whispered and explained with some pride to their neighbors, “The noble is the county king, the real royal relative. If we hit him, we're gonna kill him! ”

After listening, the outside villager shrunk his head and hid in the crowd. He dared not say another word. A villager with a good family relationship asked Yujiang softly: "Jiangzi, I heard your corn harvest early, will it affect the yield? Will the County King blame the Hai family for that? ”

Yu Jiang glanced at the guards in front of the courtyard door and shook his head worried: “I don't know! The County King attached great importance to my second brother's family. Corn was well planted before the disaster. It wasn't an artificial mistake. It shouldn't be too big. Trouble? ”

Zhu Junyang walked into the yard and was stunned by a yellow, clear, golden corn stick. Yujia's yard is already very large. Where the vegetables used to be grown, they have been cleaned up and filled with corn sticks to dry. The corn is full and brighter than the seeds he brings from overseas.

The rest of the family were sitting together, smiling on their faces, rubbing corn grains as they chatted. Yu Xiaograss was among them, and his smile was as dazzling as the summer sun. Her snowy little hand, holding the corn grain stick with one hand, and the corn stick with the other, rubbing each other, the golden corn grain fell into the basket in front of her.

When Zhu Junyang arrived, his heart felt like a heavy big rock. At this point, the stone instantly disappeared. He shifted his gaze from the bright little girl to the sun-dried corn in the yard. Several small animals were found flying back and forth between the corn, chasing the locusts that occasionally landed on them. A lot of locust bodies fall in the cracks of corn. Did these cats and dogs bite to death? Not only are the rest of the family capable, but the small animals they feed are no less colorful. Wait a minute. Isn't that a pigeon? Why did you learn to chase locust bites, cats and dogs?

“What, you're back from the capital?” Yu Xiaograss looked up and saw Yu Yu Yu Yang walking in the courtyard, greeting Zhu Junyang warmly. The rest of the family hurried up to greet the County King.

Zhu Junyang said "exonerate” and told them what to do. He left Yu Xiaograss behind and asked: "When will you have two more puppies? Looks like a hybrid of wolves and dogs..."

Yu Xiaowei would naturally not tell him that Xiao Xiao Black-and-white was a purebred wolf. She shrugged: “I found it in the woods the other day, when the two little guys just opened their eyes and thought it was pathetic, at least it was a life, so I picked it up and kept it. ”

Zhu Junyang glanced at her and said with no expression: “It seems that Grandpa's fears are superfluous! In the year of the disaster, people were reluctant to kill all the animals in their families and feared wasting food. You still pick up animals at home because you don't have much food to throw away, do you? ”

Yu Xiaograss had already gotten used to his cold face and said with a smile: “Two little puppies, how much can you eat? The little guy knows now that he's eating locusts and picking up locusts with seeds in his stomach. He's smart! What's going on in the capital? ”

Zhu Junyang remembered that all the corn leaves bitten in the test field were caves. He sighed. “The locust disaster is not serious here, but it was also a disaster! Corn is an important period for grouting. Drought, combined with locust plagues, is sure to reduce yields... Your corn, has not been affected by locust plagues? ”

Yu Xiaograss processed what his father had said to the village chief and told the Yangxian king: “My father met a fortune teller who called himself a half immortal when he picked the water from the mountain. His gossip predicted a disaster two days later, and he did not say anything about it. We looked at the corn almost as soon as we could, and if there was a catastrophe, we wouldn't be busy. With a more trustworthy attitude, he broke down the corn day and night. Luckily, I usually take good care of it. After a few days of drying it, the corn doesn't seem to have lost much of its output! ”

Zhu Junyang did not ask about the so-called half fairy, looked to her eyes with praise light, slowly said: “You did the right thing! It's better to reduce production than to lose grains! Where's the potato? Did you get it back? ”

“Take it, take it! They're all in the east wing!” Yu Xiaograss took the lead toward the east wing. The windows of the rest of the family are glass windows, and each room has a number of windows open, pushing the door open does not appear to be dim.

Zhu Junyang saw mountains of potatoes, the smallest of which also had adult fist size, the original face of paralysis had emotional fluctuations: “Remember, we only grow one acre of potatoes, right? One acre, that's all you got? ”

Yu Xiaocao laughed in his heart. He said: Is that enough? We have plenty of private storage in our cellar in the west courtyard! And she had a serious nod on her face: "Yeah! Potatoes are also quite productive. Five or six kilos a acre, right? ”

After Master Liu, he couldn't even close his mouth. A acre of land yielded more than 5,000 kg? More than potatoes? Or is it grown in less fertile sandy land, if it's a fat field, the yield is higher? If the Emperor finds out, he'll be glad, won't he? The Emperor has been searching for high-yielding crops for many years so that the people can fill their bellies and live in peace. With high-yielding potatoes and corn hanging in the yard, the Emperor's wishes should be fulfilled.

Zhu Junyang bent over and picked up a potato the size of a slap. He looked over and over again and asked: "Do you know how to eat this potato? Cooking like potatoes? ”

Yu Xiaowei thought about it and said vaguely: “Should I? But the potatoes don't taste very good. They taste pale. They need to be dipped in salt or sugar. However, in the event of a catastrophic year, it would be possible to feed on hunger. And not like potatoes eating too much heartburn. ”

“How did you know? Did you steal it?” Zhu Junyang's beautiful phoenix glanced slightly at her, but meant nothing to blame.

Yu Xiaograss hey hey dry smile twice, said: “During the excavation of potatoes, there were a lot of injuries, afraid of breakage, try to cook a few dishes with potatoes. Tastes pretty good. Want me to make you a potato feast this afternoon? ”

“You still have a conscience!” Zhu Junyang looked at the potatoes in the house, his eyes flashing with a faint smile, looking at Yu Xiaograss, "Grandpa said." One tenth of the potatoes in this room belong to the rest of your family. Eat whatever you want! You don't have to sneak around! ”

“Long live Xiaoxian Wang-” Yu Xiaograss's shouts were jammed in her mouth by General Manager Liu, who sometime appeared beside her. The expression on Yangshen's face also suddenly changed color.

"Do you want to kill our county king?" exclaimed Chief Liu. "Long live," can you just say anything? Can you afford to be heard by someone who framed our master for a treason? ”

Yu Xiaoxue remembered that ancient “Hail” was a name for the emperor and could not be a cheering synonym, as in previous generations. She also realized the importance of the matter, holding her eyes red and tears spinning in her eyes: "I didn't mean it, little county king. I'm so happy I don't even know what I'm talking about! I'm a flat-headed little citizen, dead, and I'm not going to bring you trouble, am I? ”

Zhu Junyang looked out, the sound of the remaining grass was not loud, and the reaction of the rest of the family rubbing the corn in the yard seemed that they had not noticed the movement here. The courtyard door was a long way away, and the guards outside were his relatives. He gave General Manager Liu a look and asked him to check the neighborhood to see if there were any idle people waiting for him.

General Manager Liu glanced at Yu Xiaograss like a cannibal, turning and leading him away.

Zhu Junyang looked at Yu Xiaograss, whose face had changed color. The expression on his face softened unconsciously. The words of blame also became comforting: “Grandpa believes you are unintentional. Be careful what you say in the future. Not everyone speaks as well as Grandpa! If there's such a treachery in your mouth in Kyori, you'll have to copy your head! ”

Yu Xiaograss tears. Tap the spot and nod. Suck your nose. “I get it! Never mention those words again. ”

Zhu Junyang rarely saw her as good as a rabbit. During the week he said a word, and she had several words waiting to rebut him. Faced with such a pitiful and well-behaved Yu Xiaoxue, the cold-faced little county king still had the heart to joke to her: “It's not that you can't mention it, but in front of whom. If you see the Emperor, you can still say these two words. ”

Yu Xiaograss's tears haven't dried yet, and he starts hitting him again: “I'm a flat-headed civilian. How can I meet the Emperor? You are by far the most noble person I have ever met... No, I seem to have cooked for the Emperor during his private interview! ”

Zhu Junyang remembered his grandfather, who never left the food, and some didn't know what else to say. The last time he returned to the capital, Grandpa specifically asked him for pork and ears made by Yu Xiao Xiao. He also said that the Zhenzheng building in the capital was not authentic, so Yu Xiaograss did it to his appetite.

As soon as I heard myself say that the weather was hot and I didn't bring food back, his grandfather who ate the goods was yelling to come to Dongshan Village. He said that it had been a long time since he had eaten the farm meal of the rest of the young maids, so I panicked. Finally, his royal cousin said, "Find a chance to summon Yu's little girl into the capital and cook him a big table of good food" before he stopped.

Grandpa is old, the Emperor is afraid that he will roam the North and South China Sea, and his body is unbearable, so he doesn't want to be tired and let him flourish in the royal garden.

But Grandpa said, “Life is about sport!” There is always no peace, let them, the Crown Prince's grandchildren, be afraid all day long. It is said that if the Emperor hadn't found out the other day, his grandfather would have gone to the frontier to do some military exercises with General Zhao.
