Just at this moment, Qing Chan said, "Aunt Zhang is here."
The Zhang family's aunt entered the room, bowed, and then asked with a smile:
"County Lady, are you done with your work? Why don't you have lunch first and then get back to work?"
Hearing this, Si Jinxing smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to my aunt and eat first."
She really liked the appearance of Aunt Zhang from the Zhang family. She had a slightly plump face, and she always smiled when she spoke. She was very kind!
When Aunt Zhang heard this, the smile on her face deepened.
She quickly said, "Okay, then let's serve the food! The county lady, please try our freshly picked vegetables!"
Soon, several farmers' wives came up with food.
Si Jinxing looked at Qi Nanyan who was standing beside him, and seeing the surprise on his face, he couldn't help but smile and said:
"Your Highness, please have a seat. These are the vegetables grown on our farm. Try some!"
Qi Nancheng retracted his gaze and said seriously, "Princess Anping is truly a god! In the cold winter, we can actually eat such juicy and fresh vegetables!"
Aunt Zhang, who was serving dishes, heard this and said with a smile:
"My Lord, you don't know this.
Not only can we eat these vegetables in our farm, but even the hot pot dishes needed by Yaxu Lao in Jianzhou City are directly supplied by our farm!
After the shop reopens, if the prince wants to eat, he can go there directly!
Our county lady will definitely give you a discount!"
Upon hearing this, Si Jinxing pursed her lips and smiled, then pulled Si Jinheng to sit down and said:
"You have a wound on your face, so you should eat a light diet and avoid greasy foods. Remember this."
As she spoke, she picked up a piece of spinach with chopsticks and put it on the plate in front of Si Jinheng.
After hearing what Aunt Zhang said, Qi Nancheng nodded and said, "No wonder the county lady's elegant words are useless even if others copy them!
Those shops don’t have all these kinds of vegetables!
When winter comes, the only vegetables available to the people of Longyin are cabbage and radish.
When the County Master's Yaxu Lao opens, I will definitely go and try it!"
After he finished speaking, he picked up a piece of stir-fried spinach with chopsticks. He found that the leaves were emerald green with neat edges. It was really fresh!
Qi Nancheng was very impolite and ate all the vegetables on the table!
At this moment, he really couldn't wait to go and see the experimental shed that Aunt Zhang had just mentioned.
What does these vegetables have to do with the experimental shed?
Si Jinxing finished her meal leisurely and said to Si Jinheng:
"You must be tired after running around all night. Go to your room and have a good sleep. Regain your energy before you think about other things."
Then he turned around and said to Qi Nancheng, "Let's go, commoner prince!"
Qi Nancheng smiled awkwardly and said:
"County Lady, if you have something to do, please ask the aunt on the farm to take me for a walk.
"Second Young Master, have you made all the arrangements? No need to send someone back to pass on the message?"
Si Jinxing stood up, stretched out his arm in a gesture of invitation, and said:
"unnecessary."
She glanced at Qi Nancheng, who looked puzzled, and said, "Heng'er is now General Si's only son."
Who is Qi Nancheng?
When he heard this, he immediately understood and said:
“You mean to say that someone wants to kill the Second Young Master and take his place?
Even if it fails, you can use it to threaten your father, General Si!
This really kills two birds with one stone!"
Although he had no interest in government affairs, he was born in an imperial family, so how could he have seen many dark things?
Therefore, he instantly figured out the purpose of the person behind the scenes!
Si Jinxing nodded, walked out of the yard, and continued walking deeper into the manor.
She glanced at Qi Nancheng. Isn't this just killing two birds with one stone?
She was willing to believe Qi Nancheng.
But, after all, human hearts are unpredictable.
She didn't continue the topic, but pointed to a yard in front and said:
"We're here. This is my experimental field."
Qi Nancheng, who was still thinking about the affairs of the Si family, heard the words and saw that they were now parked in front of a locked yard!
Aunt Zhang stepped forward, opened the door, and said, "Princess, please come in. Your Majesty, please come in."
Qi Nancheng walked forward slowly and found himself walking into a farmland he had never seen before!
I saw that on the left side of the yard, an area of about three acres, there were rows of low tents built, and the south side was blocked with something like oil paper.
On the right side, on three acres of land, a four-foot-high tent was built, which people could enter by bending over.
Similarly, the south-facing side was also covered with paper of unknown material.
He looked further north and saw a field of corn stalks that had just been harvested.
Qi Nancheng couldn't help but swallow his saliva. Harvesting corn at this time of year?
For the first time, he began to doubt himself as a farming expert!
He walked forward and touched the remaining corn stalks, which were thicker than any corn stalks he had seen before.
Qi Nancheng couldn't help but ask, "I wonder, what month was the corn planted? How was the harvest?"
Aunt Zhang used a hoe to knock down the corn stalks, saying:
"This corn is planted two months later than our ordinary corn, and this crop yields eight dan per acre!
The county lord said that this output is not enough, and we should be able to reach ten shi next year!"
Eight stones? How is that possible!
You know, in the whole of Longyin, in the year with the best harvest, the best harvest per acre can only reach one stone!
And the corn yield in Ninghe Manor was as high as eight dan? Or even ten dan?
How could Qi Nancheng not be shocked?
He couldn't help but look at the young woman behind him. She was holding a plate of sunflowers, picking out the seeds...
The afternoon sunlight fell right on her, dazzling and glaring! She was indeed different from the other women!
Si Jinxing noticed the gaze, looked up, and saw Qi Nancheng staring at her intently.
She hurriedly handed over the sunflower plate in her hand and asked, "Do you want it?"
Qi Nancheng wanted to say no, but when he saw the seeds in the sunflower plate, they were big and plump!
He finally couldn't help himself, bowed to Si Jinxing and said:
"County Lady! I always thought I was very familiar with farming.
After seeing the county lady's manor today, I realized that I was just showing off my skills in front of an expert.
I wonder if the county lady could tell me how to achieve a high yield of 8 dan per mu of corn?"
Si Jinxing handed over the sunflower plate in her hand, patted the crumbs on her hands, and said, "Seeds."
She took Qi Nancheng to walk around the courtyard, and it was dark.
At this time, the four major gates of Jianzhou City were all closed!
A day and a night have passed since Si Jinheng disappeared, but there is still no news!
Now, everyone in the city knows that the eldest son of the Pingguan Marquis died first, and now the only youngest son is also missing!
