Yang Hongjin was a little embarrassed for a moment, okay, it makes sense for you to marry me first, brother-in-law is brother-in-law.
Without further ado, he continued,
"Brother-in-law, that local specialty..."
"Oh, local specialties. I remembered this and brought them all." Jiang Hai suddenly realized that he was still thinking about it. Fortunately, he was prepared.
The reason why Yang Hongjin was so anxious was that he wanted to see if it was a gun.
Then, after a while.
Jiang Hai asked Wenzhi to bring some sweet potatoes.
Yang Hongjin took one with an expression like an old man looking at his phone on the subway.
This was far from what he had expected. This local specialty was too earthy. Yes, there was really dirt on it.
"What is this...?" Yang Hongjin was puzzled.
"Sweet potatoes," Jiang Hai said. "A crop that produces over 2,000 kilograms per mu."
Jiang Hai was still underestimating the price. Before he came here, the good varieties were priced in kilograms.
But at this time, it is simply a king bomb.
Yang Hongjin thought he had misheard at first, and asked weakly,
"How many pounds?"
"Two thousand kilograms." Jiang Hai said calmly.
At this time, Lu Qian couldn't sit still anymore, he ran over to look at the sweet potato in Jiang Hai's hand, and asked in disbelief,
"Master Jiang, is this food?"
"Yes, it can be used as food."
After hearing Jiang Hai's answer, Lu Qian's eyes lit up. If that was true, then if the cultivation of this thing was popularized in Yuezhou, wouldn't the people no longer have to go hungry?
"How do you eat this?" Lu Qian asked curiously.
"There are many ways to eat it. I'll make some for you to try later."
Jiang Hai raised his eyebrows, with some bad intentions. He wanted to make some more to trick the chubby boy into eating more, so that the evening would definitely be exciting.
"Very good. Lord Lu, please stay and have dinner with us tonight," said Yang Hongjin.
When he heard about this magical crop, he thought the same as Lu Qian did: this is a good thing.
The disappointment he had felt before about Jiang Hai not giving him a pistol also disappeared. Compared to having a mobile phone for his own enjoyment, this one could benefit the people and was more important.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Lu Qian bowed in thanks.
I didn't expect this to happen. It was an unexpected gain for Lu Qian.
Then I can talk to the King of Yue about how to popularize the cultivation of this crop, and I will definitely achieve political achievements.
The chubby young man was very happy. He was able to stay and have dinner with the King of Yue, which could help him build relationships. In the future, he would inevitably have to trouble the King when he did things.
"These are the common ways to eat and grow them. I've compiled them all."
Jiang Hai took out a small notebook and recorded the sweet potato planting method.
I got this from the county government office. I had asked Lao Huang to print these things before.
Then he wrote down a lot of common ways of eating it on the way here.
"Mr. Jiang is very thoughtful." Lu Qian was happy from the bottom of his heart and praised him.
So, that evening, the three families gathered at the palace to have dinner together.
I asked the kitchen to prepare a variety of sweet potato dishes, including baking, steaming, boiling, fried sweet potato cakes, sweet potato snacks, and so on.
"Oh my, this sweet potato is really sweet." Lu Qian praised after eating it. "It tastes great."
Yang Hongjin also praised it highly.
Jiang Hai nodded in agreement. The eldest lady and the second lady were whispering to each other, and then the second lady whispered to Su Yanan.
…
After the five dishes have been served, it’s time to serve the wine.
Yang Hongjin invited everyone to raise their glasses, and everyone raised their glasses except Su Yanan.
Lu Qian smiled shyly and said, "My wife is pregnant and shouldn't drink. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."
After Lu Qian said this, Yang Hongjin expressed his understanding and said with a smile,
"Congratulations, Brother Lu is so lucky."
Yuchi Ziling was a little envious. How could she be so awesome? She got pregnant just a few months after getting married, while she herself hadn't had any pregnancy for more than half a year.
You worked so hard before, but it’s no use now, you need to try harder, the eldest lady encouraged herself secretly.
Jiang Hai suddenly felt a chill down his spine. Was he being targeted?
Everyone's thoughts are different.
When the fat young man saw Jiang Hai and his wife raising their glasses, his inner villain jumped out and he laughed with his hands on his hips.
[Yeah, finally, you can't beat me, right? The froglets I raise are of better quality, and you can't compare to me, right?]
[Show off, what's wrong with being rich, what's wrong with being talented, do you have a child? ]
The chubby young man raised his glass with a smile that was unconsciously a little smug, and glanced at Jiang Hai.
Their eyes happened to meet, and Jiang Hai was confused again. Is this guy okay today? Why does he look at him in such a weird way?
No, I can’t get too close to him. What if he’s bisexual?
I'd better persuade him to eat more sweet potatoes.
So next, at the dinner table, Jiang Hai enthusiastically recommended various sweet potato delicacies to the chubby boy.
The chubby young master was in a good mood and ate with relish, while he discussed business with Yang Hongjin about popularizing the cultivation of new crops throughout Yuezhou in the future.
After receiving the King of Yue's affirmation, the chubby young man felt a little better and took a few more bites with his chopsticks.
After the banquet ended, Lu Qian took his wife back to the county government office.
…
In the palace.
After Lu Qian left, Yang Hongjin drank with Jiang Hai for a while longer.
"Brother-in-law, are you interested in serving as an official in Yuezhou?"
Extending an olive branch to Jiang Hai, he listened to Yuchi Shuang, the brainless fan, praising his brother-in-law to the skies.
Yang Hongjin felt that Jiang Hai was talented and at least had sufficient financial resources, so it would be a good idea to attract investment from Yuezhou.
"That's fine, but if you want to develop Yuezhou, I can give you some advice."
Jiang Hai took a sip of wine. It was impossible for him to go to work. Even dogs didn’t want to go to work.
"Oh, I'd like to hear more about it." Yang Hongjin became interested.
"Things are a bit complicated, so I'll make it short," Jiang Hai looked at Yang Hongjin and saw that he was a little tipsy. He thought it would be better to wait until he sobered up before talking, so he said,
"But this is a long story, so why not tell it to you slowly over the next few days?"
"..." Yang Hongjin couldn't help but be confused by his nonsense. He paused for a moment and laughed.
"Haha, okay, then I'll stay here for a while and take a look around."
Jiang Hai nodded in agreement. He had come here after traveling for several days, so of course he had to have enough fun before going home.
Thinking of fun, Jiang Hai remembered that he had brought fireworks.
"Sixth Brother, I brought you something fun."
Hearing Jiang Hai say that there was something fun, Yang Hongjin was also looking forward to it.
"What's so fun?"
"Fireworks, let's go call the ladies and set off the fireworks."
"fireworks?"
Yang Hongjin didn't understand what was going on, but seeing that Jiang Hai had already stood up, he followed him out.
After a while, Jiang Hai asked Wang Fawen to control them and move the fireworks to the front yard of the palace.
What I bring with me when I go out are ordinary fireworks, and I don’t need any special launching devices.
The effect is naturally not as good as that of the new city. It cannot reach very high and does not have a large range.
But it was still shocking to see it up close. At least, Yang Hongjin and the others were stunned.
Yuchi Shuang and the maid Xiao Mo were so shocked.
"Wow, brother-in-law, it looks so good."
