Concubine Ye did not get any more information about Daohe, nor was she angry. She led Zhang Hulan and Ye Hongyun to the warehouse of Shanglinyuan.
After arriving at the warehouse, Zhang Hulan searched inside.
Most of the seeds in the warehouse are vegetable seeds and flower seeds.
Zhang Hulan recognized some of the vegetable seeds, but she couldn't identify some of them.
The manager in charge of the storehouse asked, "Zhang Tunjian, please tell me what seeds you need and I will find them for you."
Zhang Hulan said: "I just want to find some seeds donated by foreign countries and try to plant them back. I don't have any special requirements."
The steward asked, "Can any seeds be offered by foreigners?"
“Yes, any seeds will do.”
The steward said, "Please follow me here, Zhang Tunjian. The seeds donated by foreign countries are all here."
Zhang Hulan followed the manager to a shelf in the warehouse, which was filled with various boxes and bags, all of which were filled with seeds.
The steward said, "These are all kinds of seeds donated by foreign countries. Zhang Tunjian can take whatever he needs."
Zhang Hulan walked along the shelves. She couldn't recognize what 99% of the seeds there were, but she could recognize a few types.
Zhang Hulan recognized the bitter melon and tomato seeds, and then she saw a sack next to the shelf.
Zhang Hulan asked the manager, "Are there seeds in here as well?"
The steward said, "Yes, this was presented by the red-haired barbarians last year. They seem to call this thing earth fruit."
The manager opened the sack and took out the contents to show Zhang Hulan.
When Zhang Hulan saw what the steward took out, she was stunned for a moment, "Isn't this a potato?"
The potatoes that were taken out at this time had already grown very long sprouts. Zhang Hulan felt that these people were wasting resources from nature.
Such a good thing is just thrown away like this.
If this sack of potato seeds can be used to plant one acre of land, and when they are ripe, if they are planted well, one acre of land can yield one or two thousand kilograms. If this is widely planted, won't the people be able to fill their stomachs?
Zhang Hulan asked: "Can I take all these things?"
It's already May, and the best time to plant potatoes has passed, but the temperature here is not too high, so maybe I can still grow them if I take them back. If I leave them here any longer, they will definitely rot.
"This..." The manager hesitated. If Zhang Hulan only wanted to take part of it, it would be fine. But Zhang Hulan wanted to take it all. She had no say in this matter.
Concubine Ye said, "You will all be sent to Zhangtun Prison when you return."
Concubine Ye spoke, and the steward immediately agreed, "Okay, I will send it to Zhangtun Prison tomorrow."
Concubine Ye then asked Zhang Hulan, "Tell him what else you like and ask him to send it to you tomorrow."
Zhang Hulan was not polite either. She pointed at the bitter melon and tomato seeds on the shelf and said, "I'll take all of these two, and take some of the other seeds as well."
No matter what kind of seeds they are, just take them back and study them slowly. You’ll know once you grow them.
After the seed issue was settled, Zhang Hulan strolled around the manor with Concubine Ye and Ye Hongyun.
Then she saw many flower pots in the manor, and the tender seedlings growing in the pots made Zhang Hulan stunned again.
What's growing in the flowerpot looks like a pepper seedling.
Zhang Hulan asked, "When the things planted in this flowerpot grow up, will they become red and pointy?"
Ye Hongyun smiled and said, "Why, do you know this thing? It's called a chili pepper, and it was presented by foreigners. The fruit is red and looks pretty."
Zhang Hulan asked, "My Lady, can you give me a few pots of these chili peppers?"
Concubine Ye smiled and said, "Sure, just take a few pots when the time comes."
She was not satisfied with just a few pots of Zhang Hulan, but it was not easy for her to ask Concubine Ye for more. She planned to find an opportunity to ask the manager here if he had any pepper seeds. If so, she would take some back.
…
The other side.
Zhang Xinyue shouted, "Daohe, there, there..."
"Hurry, there's a hare there..."
Daohe was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He pulled the bowstring and with a "swoosh", the arrow accurately nailed a hare to the ground.
"Great, great..." Zhang Xinyue clapped her hands happily.
A guard immediately went forward to retrieve the shot hare.
By now they had already killed several hares and a sika deer.
Among them, several wild rabbits were hunted by Daohe, and the sika deer was hunted by Emperor Yongxing and Daohe together.
Emperor Yongxing looked at Daohe with admiration.
Emperor Yongxing said, "This amount of prey is not enough for our lunch. Let's go on."
At least Emperor Yongxing took the lead and ran in the front, while Daohe and the others followed closely behind on their ponies.
The ministers behind understood that they were just there to serve as a foil.
It was almost noon when Emperor Yongxing and his entourage started to return.
In total, they shot three sika deer, two roe deer, and some small prey such as hares and pheasants.
Emperor Yongxing was very happy today. If the emperor was happy, the ministers who followed him must also be happy. They were all in high spirits.
After lunch and a short rest, Emperor Yongxing took Daohe and the others to go fishing again.
Having seen Daohe's ability in volley shooting, Emperor Yongxing wanted to see Daohe's character.
A person who is impatient and irritable can't catch fish.
Emperor Yongxing specially picked a fish pond with few fish. After Daohe cast the fishing line, he sat quietly, staring at the float without blinking.
Emperor Yongxing looked at Daohe who had calmed down and nodded secretly in his heart.
He also felt emotional in his heart that Taoist Xuanzhen had taught the child very well. Even if he had kept him by his side to be raised, the child might not be better than he is now.
