Chapter 364 Be cautious
He followed Shen Li into her boudoir, but instead of following behind her, he found a seat at the table and sat down.
Shen Li took out the wooden box that she had just put away. She had originally planned to put it away in the space at night, but now that Pei Yu was here, she might as well hand it over to him.
Pei Yu was also surprised when he saw such a big wooden box, and immediately stood up to help. He originally thought that there were only a few things, but he didn't expect it to be packed in such a big box.
"open to take a look."
The two stood in front of the wooden box, and Shen Li motioned for him to open it and take a look.
Pei Yu nodded, opened the wooden box and saw two distinct types of grain inside. Shen Li used a wooden board to separate them and also put waterproof oil paper inside.
"Ali, these are potatoes and corn?"
"Ah."
"Ayu, here are ten heads of corn. I grew them from five corn seeds."
Shen Li didn't keep him in suspense and told him directly. He would know it sooner or later anyway.
Pei Yu's breathing became noticeably faster. After planting five seeds, he harvested ten corns. With a cursory look, he figured out that there were at least three hundred seeds on one corn.
His hands were shaking as he held the corn; he was excited because he knew the harvest would be even greater next year when he planted the corn.
Plant a grain of millet in spring and harvest ten thousand grains in autumn.
This was the first time he experienced the meaning of this poem so intuitively.
"After corn grows, fresh corn can be cooked and eaten, or used in dishes. When it is fully mature, corn can be stored for a long time and ground into flour for consumption. It has a high starch content and is good for keeping you full."
"Corn can also be used to make wine and oil, both of which are very simple."
Pei Yu was very excited after hearing this. How come he hadn't discovered such a high-yield food before? It seems that there are a lot of good things overseas.
When Shen Li saw a gleam in his eyes, she knew that he was up to something bad again.
"Ali, what are the uses of potatoes?"
"It's similar to corn. When it's ripe, it can be used to cook vegetables and make starch. If it's well preserved, it can be kept for more than a year. People with poor conditions can just cook it and eat it to fill their stomachs."
Pei Yu had a smile on his face all day. He carefully closed the wooden box and hugged Shen Li who was standing beside him. "Ali, thank you."
Shen Li patted his back and said, "Don't just thank me, you have to get some real benefits for me."
"Well, this time the emperor will definitely bleed heavily."
Shen Li's smile deepened, "Okay, then don't forget Lu Jing. If it weren't for him, we don't know when this seed would have fallen into our hands."
Pei Yu nodded, "Don't worry, I won't forget it. I will talk to him in person when the time comes."
"it is good."
Since he said so, Shen Li didn't worry about it. Men have different ways of solving problems, so it's better for her not to interfere.
Don't think she didn't see it. When I mentioned Lu Jing just now, Pei Yu frowned slightly.
Sure enough, for men, whenever a woman mentions other men, they will become jealous without any reason.
"Then you can take these. Oh, and there are some more planted in the backyard and halfway up the mountain. They will be dug up in a few days."
Pei Yu nodded, "Okay, don't worry about these, I will have someone arrange it when the time comes."
"Oh, by the way, where are you going to plant these next year?"
Pei Yu thought for a while before saying, "The capital."
Beijing?
"That's too far."
"Not far." Pei Yu looked at her, "Have you forgotten what you promised me?"
"I haven't forgotten."
"We will live in the capital after we get married, so it would be most appropriate to plant there next year."
"Okay, just think it through."
"Ali."
"Well, what's wrong?" Shen Li looked up at him. Why did he suddenly call her?
Pei Yu pulled her to sit down. "The Emperor's birthday festival is in a month. It happens to coincide with the army's return to the capital. The Emperor will reward the meritorious service at the festival. The reward that Big Brother will receive this time will not be low. Do you want to go with us?"
Shen Li propped up her chin and looked at him calmly, "Ah Yu, you asked our whole family to go all the way to Beijing. What is your purpose?"
Pei Yu shook his head, "No."
"You're lying. If you don't tell me, I won't go."
Pei Yu nodded, "I told you not to be angry."
"You tell me first."
"I would like to ask the Emperor to grant us a marriage during his birthday celebration."
After saying that, he looked at her, waiting for her reaction.
Shen Li's expression didn't change. She had already guessed that it was related to her, but she didn't expect it to be like this.
"That's all?"
"Well, there is one more. You know the Imperial College. I have a quota for recommending students for admission, and I want to give it to my fourth brother."
Shen Li smiled suddenly, how could A Yu be so cute!
She looked at him seriously and said, "Ayu, since we have decided to be together, you don't have to be so cautious with me. You can just say what I want to say without testing me."
If he keeps being cautious, one day he will get tired of this kind of life. By then, it won't matter whether these things were what he had wanted before or not.
What Shen Li wants is that he has love in his heart, not respect in his heart.
Pei Yu murmured "Okay".
"Ayu, let's go and see big brother."
"Ah."
In the front yard, Shen Jingyuan came back quietly and suddenly appeared in the yard, scaring everyone in the yard.
Shen Changshan stuttered, "Boss, you're back?"
Lin Cuicui and Xu Taohua looked at him with red eyes, somewhat unable to believe it.
When Shen Mochi heard his grandfather ask this, he remembered something and looked up at Shen Jingyuan, but he was too tall and he was too small, so he could only see his jaw.
I simply walked up to him, pulled his trouser leg, and when I saw him looking down at me, I stretched out my hands and said, "Hold me."
Shen Jingyuan bent down and picked up his son. The child remembered him when he left home, but now he had obviously forgotten him.
"Achi, I'm daddy."
This sentence brought the three adults present back to their senses.
"The boss is really back!"
"Ms. sir, you're back!"
Xu Taohua trotted forward and reached out to touch his cheek, but considering that her parents-in-law were still there, she retracted her hand. Shen Jingyuan held her hand.
"Mom and Dad, our son is back."
Shen Changshan laughed, "Okay, okay."
Lin Cuicui looked relieved: "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
After Shen Jingyuan finished talking to his parents, he looked down at Xu Taohua and said, "My wife, I'm back."
Xu Taohua could no longer hold back the tears in her eyes, and they rolled down drop by drop like pearls from a broken string.
He had been in the army for less than a year, and I was worried about him every day, afraid that the news he brought back was bad, but also afraid that there would be no news at all. I was scared every time I opened my eyes, afraid that he would not come back alive.
Shen Jingyuan held Shen Mochi in one hand and used his free hand to wipe her tears.
He placed his fingers on her face, and Xu Taohua felt his hands become rougher, and her eyes became hot again.
Shen Mochi finally came back to his senses. It turned out that the tall man in front of him was his father. He was back.
However, in front of him, he watched his father trying clumsily to comfort his mother, but his mother cried even harder. It was so strange!
