"Okay, let's go over there." Zhao Xu felt relieved, took Huo Yunyao's hand and left happily.
When Jiang Hexi saw them leaving, she put aside the obstacle of socializing, walked to Zhao Fei and explained to him the precautions.
"The sweet potato is an annual herb. The underground part is a round, oval or spindle-shaped root. The shape, skin color and flesh color of the root vary depending on the variety or soil, and the root is the main edible part of the sweet potato."
"Is this root buried in the ground?" Zhao Fei asked curiously.
Jiang Hexi nodded affirmatively and said with a smile: "That's right! These sweet potatoes are just like peanuts. The seeds are buried in the ground, but the leaves of the sweet potatoes can also be eaten and used to feed pigs."
"This sweet potato is indeed full of treasures!" Zhao Fei said in surprise.
"Look, Mr. Zhao, the stems of this sweet potato lie flat or rise, occasionally twined, multi-branched, cylindrical or rectangular, green or purple, sparsely covered or hairless, and adventitious roots are easy to grow at the stem nodes. Moreover, if the soil moisture
If there is too much, the roots of the sweet potatoes will swell and the yield will be reduced. Therefore, the sweet potatoes cannot be soaked in water. You must pay attention to this." Jiang Hexi elaborated.
Zhao Fei quickly took out the small notebook he carried with him, listened carefully and took notes carefully.
"Master Zhao, you don't have to remember, I have written down all the precautions in a booklet. Look, this is it." Jiang Hexi looked at Zhao Fei who was eager to learn in a funny way, took out the booklet from his sleeve and handed it to him.
Give it to him.
"Thank you, Miss Jiang!" Zhao Fei took it over in surprise, looking flattered.
"Also, sweet potatoes are usually propagated vegetatively using stems or roots. That is to take out the sweet potatoes to raise seedlings in advance, and then cut the sweet potato seedlings into the ridges." Jiang Hexi explained patiently while gesturing with his hands.
Huo Jingchen looked at the two people who were watching no one else. His stomach was churning and sourness was almost overflowing. He gritted his teeth and stared at the smiling Zhao Fei.
But Zhao Fei had been immersed in the sea of sweet potatoes for a long time. He had no time to pay attention to Huo Jingchen and didn't even look at him.
After a whole morning of hard work, they had almost finished observing the sweet potatoes. Jiang Hexi and others walked directly back to Jiang's courtyard, while Huo Yunyao and others were already drinking the iced juice made by Liuying and Xingluo.
"Sister Xi, Brother Zhao, Brother Zhao, come here quickly! This juice is delicious!" Huo Yunyao waved enthusiastically as soon as she saw a few people.
"Drink less. This iced juice is too cold. Be careful and you may get a stomachache later." Huo Jingchen looked helplessly at his greedy sister, but he also accepted the iced watermelon juice she handed over.
"County Master Chunxi, how did you come up with this idea? This ice cream is so delicious." Zhao Xu looked at Jiang Hexi in surprise while holding the ice cream in her hand.
"Miss Zhao, please stop calling me like that. Just call me by my name." Jiang Hexi felt extremely embarrassed every time she heard this title. After all, she relied on the achievements of her predecessors to grow these things.
"How about I call you Xi'er from now on?" Zhao Xu smiled and asked tentatively.
Jiang Hexi nodded with a smile, then turned to explain ice cream to Zhao Xu seriously, saying softly: "Actually, I made this ice cream in my free time. If Miss Zhao likes it, Chunjiang Restaurant in Lingxian County is the joint venture between me and
It was opened by Wen Gong, you can go there and have a taste, there are also many delicious meals there."
"Really? Is it the restaurant Jinghe and his cousin talked about yesterday?" Before Zhao Xu could reply, Huo Yunyao, whose eyes lit up when he heard about the food, immediately blurted out and asked, looking at Jiang Hexi with hope.
Jiang Hexi looked at Huo Yunyao who, like her younger brother, almost jumped for joy when she heard the delicious food, her eyebrows suddenly curved and she said with a smile: "Yes! If Miss Huo is interested, you can ask Mr. Wen to bring you here.
, I’ll give you a 20% discount.”
"Then I'd like to thank Sister Xi first!" When Huo Yunyao heard Jiang Hexi mentioned Wen Jianzhou's name again, she didn't know what she thought of, a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes and she kept acting coquettishly while holding Jiang Hexi's hand.
Jiang Hexi also liked this aristocratic daughter who had no pretensions at all. She didn't feel the slightest discomfort with her intimacy, but looked at her with gentle eyes.
"Okay, we've disturbed you all day, it's time to go back." When Huo Jingkun saw that his sister was starting to act coquettishly again, he was afraid that Jiang Hexi, who had been working hard for most of the day, would be entangled by her and have to do a lot of work for them.
Someone was making lunch and interrupted loudly.
"Yes, Miss Jiang, we have worked hard for you today. We can't bother you any more, so we will leave first. I will come here every day to ask Miss Jiang for advice. I hope Miss Jiang won't find me troublesome." Zhao Fei responded hurriedly.
He said with a voice, and then looked at Jiang Hexi rather embarrassedly.
Jiang Hexi smiled slightly and said warmly: "Of course I won't dislike Mr. Zhao. Mr. Zhao just comes here. I will tell you everything I know. I am waiting for Mr. Zhao to come."
"Then thank you Miss Jiang first!" Zhao Fei became even more happy and looked at Jiang Hexi excitedly.
Seeing his excited expression, Jiang Hexi pursed her lips and smiled in a funny way.
Huo Yunyao on the side originally wanted to have lunch here, but Liu Ying said that the food cooked by Jiang Hexi was so amazing, she had been looking forward to it!
But when she saw Huo Jingchen's warning eyes, Huo Yunyao pouted dissatisfiedly, but she didn't dare to make a mistake and said unwillingly: "Okay."
"Then let's go back first." Seeing that his sister finally became sensible, Huo Jingchen smiled with satisfaction, then looked at Jiang Hexi tenderly and said softly.
"Miss Jiang, I'm leaving." Zhao Xu smiled faintly and said softly.
"Sister Xi, let's go first. I will come to see you again in the future. I have to stay in Jingzhou for a while. I will not follow Master Zhao until he completes the task. I will come to see you often in the future.
, you must not dislike me!" Huo Yunyao held Jiang Hexi's hand and looked at her with great reluctance.
"Okay! My door here is always open for you, so just come!" Jiang Hexi agreed with a smile.
Huo Yunyao was finally happy, waved her hand towards Jiang Hexi, and pulled Zhao Xu away.
Jiang Hexi walked the group to the door until they could no longer be seen. Then she turned around and wanted to close the door to the yard, but was blocked by the neighbor who was secretly rubbing Qin Hehua who had been waiting for a long time.
"Xi'er, I don't know how to thank you! The head of our family has done nothing, yet he got a reward from the emperor through your light! This makes me so embarrassed that I can't even see you!" Qin Hehua looked at him warily.
He glanced around, then closed the door, took Jiang Hexi's hand and said with a sad face.
"Sister Hehua, if it weren't for the seeds that Brother Li brought back from Beidi, how would I be able to grow sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn! This is a big contribution from Brother Li!" Although it is not clear what the emperor gave him.
It was given to Li Tiezhu, but according to her share of the reward, it must not be low, so Jiang Hexi frowned in disapproval, pulled Qin Hehua's sign language and spoke earnestly.
"But..." Qin Hehua still felt uneasy and hesitated for a long time, unable to speak.
"Stop it! This is a reward from the emperor, a gift from heaven. You and Brother Li should keep it! Besides, if there is a reward from the emperor, it will be beneficial to Manfu and the others in the future! Sister, you should also think about your children.
They." Jiang Hexi suddenly had an idea and turned the topic to the Li Manfu brothers.
As expected, when the child was mentioned, Qin Hehua's expression gradually calmed down. After pondering for a moment, she laughed loudly and said openly: "Okay! Just think that our old Li family has been blessed by you again, so I will lick it."
I don’t have the nerve to accept these!”
"Xi'er, you don't know that I have never seen so many good things in my life. Those cloths are more beautiful than the most expensive clothes in the knitting workshop! I have never seen so much silver in my life!" Qin Hehua thought about it.
The pile of treasures placed in his home made him tremble with excitement and his face turned red.
"Xi'er, it's all thanks to you. I brought all the good materials to you. You are good-looking, so you will look good in clothes!" Qin Hehua said and was about to rush home, looking impatient.
.
Jiang Hexi hurriedly stopped her, looked at her rather puzzled eyes, sighed slightly, and said helplessly: "Sister Hehua, those are gifts from the emperor. They cannot be given away casually, let alone sold.
Otherwise, you are disrespecting the emperor and will be put in jail!"
"Ah! It's going to be so serious, what should I do?" When Qin Hehua heard this, she immediately panicked and pulled Jiang Hexi's sleeve nervously, almost crying!
"Sister Hehua, as long as you keep the things the emperor has given you at home for your own use, it is best not to give them to others, especially relatives and friends. If they insist on asking you for these things, just tell them that they are gifts from the emperor.
Yes, if you give it away, everyone will have their heads chopped off!"
Hearing this, Qin Hehua immediately understood Jiang Hexi's intention. After all, wealth should not be exposed, especially today when the officials accompanying Zhao Fei came to her home to issue an edict, but a large group of people gathered around.
Return them all to Jiang Hexi and drive them away forcefully, otherwise all the things in the house may have been taken away by those long-tongued women!
"No, I have to go back and take a closer look. I'm afraid that idiot Li Tiezhu will lend out all the family's money when I'm not at home!" Qin Hehua was so anxious that her forehead was sweating. She smiled apologetically at Jiang Hexi and hurried over.
The family rushed away.
Jiang Hexi looked helplessly at the turbulent Qin Hehua. When she thought about her thinking about her, she instantly felt heartwarming and went home with a smile on her face.
"Girl, you're back. I thought I heard Sister Hehua's voice. Why didn't she come in?" When she saw Jiang Hexi walking in alone, Liuying looked behind her but found no one, so she couldn't help but curiously asked.
