Chapter 725 Nangong Jin
"Is mango difficult to grow? Could it be that someone has already planted it before?" Xu Miaomiao said to the man with a little surprise in her tone.
"Of course. Ever since the emperor ate it and knew there were such delicious fruits and vegetables in the world, he immediately sent people to seek for methods of growing them. Unfortunately, even the agricultural masters in the palace were unable to grow the mangoes."
Xu Miaomiao nodded on his behalf. The weather in the capital city was indeed not suitable for the growth of mangoes. In addition, the planting area here was not large. Even if mangoes were planted, the harvest would not be too much. Even if others grew some, they would probably only be used by the masters and ladies here.
Thinking of this, Xu Miaomiao had to sigh, looked at the seeds next to him, and said to the shopkeeper, "We still can't take them back today, send these seeds to the post station for me. The shopkeeper immediately nodded to Xu Miaomiao."
It was the first time that so many fruit trees were requested. The shopkeeper was naturally very happy and wished that Xu Miaomiao would take all these things away. He immediately discussed the location with Xu Miaomiao and was ready to send all the fruit trees to him.
Xu Miaomiao felt a little disappointed, because what he had been thinking about was to grow mangoes in that place, but now it seems that mangoes are not so easy to grow in that place. If he succeeds in growing them, it will probably be a very rare thing. But if he fails, not only Bai County, but everyone will laugh at his inability.
Xu Miaomiao was a little hesitant for a moment. Looking at his appearance, Xu Xi was stunned: "What's wrong, sister? This beef is very delicious, you try it."
Picking up a piece of beef and putting it in Xu Miaomiao's bowl, watching Xu Miaomiao eat the beef in a daze, Xu Xi couldn't help but look at Xu Miaomiao and ask, "Sister, what happened today? Is it because the previous matter was not resolved, or is it because of what happened to Liu Mei today?"
Xu Miaomiao sighed, looked at Xu Xi, and said solemnly: "Don't think too much, this matter has nothing to do with you, it's just that there are some problems with the planting in Bai County."
"Madam Xu, if you have any problems, perhaps I can help you." After Lu Yun said this, he felt a little regretful.
If he was once the eldest son of the Lu family in Nanxiang, he could certainly help Xu Miaomiao. It's a pity that now he no longer relies on the Lu family and can only help Xu Miaomiao with advice.
After thinking about it, Lu Yun had traveled a lot, so he immediately asked Mr. Lu: "Do you know the fruit called mango?"
Lu Yun nodded: "I heard that it tastes very sweet and delicious."
"I was lucky enough to taste it before, but it's a pity that this kind of fruit is very rare at home, and it depends on sacrifices from neighboring countries. Could it be that Madam Xu wants to grow mangoes?"
"That's true, but it's a pity that you can't buy such seeds in the South." Having said this, Xu Miaomiao couldn't help but sigh deeply. Lu Yun smiled at him and then looked at Xu Miaomiao and said, "Since there are none here, then you can find them in places that specialize in selling these mango seeds."
"yes."
Hearing this, Xu Miaomiao nodded, but now the planting season is imminent, wouldn't it be too late to go now? Xu Miaomiao was a little slow to speak here, and Lu Yun thought about it when he heard this, but Xu Xi on the side spoke first: "How about Xuguo, Xiaobao and I send the things back first, and when your mangoes are brought back, maybe our grapes will have sprouted and climbed the vines."
Xu Miaomiao naturally hoped that this would be the case, but he couldn't help but look at Lu Yun next to him. This meant that Lu Yun and Xu Xi would have to separate temporarily, because Lu Yun was destined to stay in the capital, but if Xu Xi returned to Bai County, he might not come back in the future. Lu Yun looked at Xu Xi reluctantly. Feeling the gaze next to him, Xu Xi lowered his head embarrassedly, but his fingers were tightly clasped together.
Seeing the two of them like this, Xu Miaomiao didn't say anything more, but just smiled and said, "Why bother so much? It's just a few boxes of seeds. We can hire someone to take them back for us. Anyway, there are responsible people in every village over there. Song Wushao is in Bai County and won't let these things get messed up. But if you go back alone, I'm worried about you and Liu Niang, so just stay in the capital and wait for me to go and take a look."
"By the way, Mr. Lu, where is the place you mentioned selling seeds?"
Lu Yun reacted and immediately withdrew his gaze from Xu Xi. He looked at Xu Miaomiao and said seriously, "To be honest, it's the small country next to Liang Country. I heard it was just a county, but for some reason it became a country. Now many people still like to call it Baiyun County."
"Baiyun County."
When Xu Miaomiao read the name, he nodded slowly. He had indeed heard of this county when he went to Liang State before, but he didn't expect that he would have the chance to go there again.
"I've done business with the women there, but I've never seen a woman go out. Even if they go out, they always wear a bamboo hat, and their bodies are covered from head to toe. Even in a hot summer, their hands are never exposed. They are very strict with women there. If you expose a part of your skin, they will think you are a frivolous woman, and any man can take you home."
"Oh my God, there is such a place. Is there no law there?" Xu Xi said in amazement.
Lu Yun smiled, and Xu Xi's tone softened at first, then he said slowly: "If there is a law, those people would not dare to do this. They said there is no law. In their eyes, men are the sky. Although this is very similar to our Southern Country, it is better there than in the Southern Country. Women are to them, so if you want to go, you must be careful."
"No, Sister Xu, that place is so dangerous, I have to go with you."
Xu Xi looked at Xu Miaomiao nervously and said that he was really worried about Xu Miaomiao going alone. Seeing Xu Miaomiao's words, he thought for a while and said, "If you said that you would let Liu Niang accompany me, I would still believe you. You are so weak and you have a serious illness today. You should rest well at home. I have my own way to come back safely. Don't worry."
