Chapter 63 The potatoes are finally ripe

"It's delicious; it's just that the taste... seems a little different from before." Xia Ji told the truth, frowning, as if he was remembering something.

People who don’t know it think it’s not delicious.

Xia Hanyu retracted her body and leaned lightly on the back of the chair, her eyes lowered.

"That's natural. The lotus cakes you used to eat were made by my mother, but you can no longer eat them now."

Not only was it his favorite snack, it was also hers.

Xia Hanyu blinked. Every time he thought about it, his eyes still felt sour.

"Xia Ji, I miss my grandma so much."

Xia Hanyu bent her knees on the chair, hugged her knees with both hands, and rested her chin on them. Her red mouth was slightly flat, and her voice was already slightly hoarse. It sounded so aggrieved that it made people feel distressed.

Xia Ji pursed her lips and opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to comfort her. He could only stand up and walk in front of her, slowly stretched out his hand and placed it in front of her eyes, "If your highness is unhappy, just bite me."

"Why did I bite you?" Xia Hanyu looked at him speechlessly, hummed softly, and turned her face away from his hand.

His palms looked hard, and she didn't want to break her teeth.

Xia Hanyu sniffed hard.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. It's just that the look just now reminded me of my mother. I remember that when you left that day, your mother secretly sent you a lot of lotus cakes, right? I know that. "Yes." Xia Hanyu raised her chin, looking cute and cute, "And you don't know, I also secretly gave you all my own snacks. I didn't even eat a single snack that day."

"Yes." Xia Ji said in a deep voice, looking at her, his deep eyes seemed to have infinite affection, but he only dared to look at her like this from a place where she couldn't see.

In fact, he knows everything.

Because he saw it that day and saw her secretly packing the snacks and putting them in his package, and also put her favorite doll in it.

It was that doll and her that supported him for so many years.

He trains hard every day just to come back and protect her as soon as possible.

Xia Hanyu looked at him and suddenly reached out and grabbed his sleeve, pulling him back from his daze.

"Aji, I'm very happy that you can come back to me." She was even happier. In the end, almost everyone betrayed her, but he didn't.

Xia Ji's throat suddenly became dry and he responded in a slightly hoarse voice.

"Um."

He is also happy.

The two of them stayed quietly like this. After a long time, Shi Huaiyi and Fuling walked out of the small study room, and Xia Hanyu gave him his sleeve.

Xia Ji pursed her thin lips, took two steps back slightly and stood up.

"Your Highness."

Fuling handed the original back to Xia Hanyu. Xia Hanyu took it and put it aside.

"Master, have you copied everything?"

Shi Huaiyi held up his hands, trying not to be so excited when he saw that it was useless, and said: "Back to Your Highness, I only copied the five simplest methods. I believe that the conclusion will be drawn soon. If it doesn't work, I may have to bother you again." .”

"Okay." Xia Hanyu nodded with satisfaction, "In this way, I will leave it all to the master. If you need people or iron tools, you can take my token to the Ministry of War to get it. If they dare not to give it, they can do it. Let them come to me and talk to me."

Poria took the token from Xia Hanyu and handed it to him.

"only."

Shi Huaiyi took it with both hands and put it away close to his body, then knelt down.

"Your Highness, I have one more thing that I would like to ask for your mercy."

"Tell me."

Shi Huaiyi: "My sister came to see me some time ago and said that she also wanted to follow me to serve His Highness in the Imperial Manor. I hope that His Highness will give me permission."

"Oh?" Xia Hanyu leaned forward slightly and asked him casually, "Why is this?"

"My sister said that she is not used to staying at home every day and being forced by her grandmother to embroider and learn the rules. If she does those things, she would rather go to the Imperial Manor to farm for His Highness, which can be regarded as repaying His Highness's great kindness."

"And she is more accustomed to this. The intrigues in the inner house are not suitable for her."

"That's it, I'm sure." Xia Hanyu naturally doesn't mind having one more person to do things for him.

The two brothers and sisters knew a lot about farming, and she really hoped that they could find something different in it.

"My lord, thank you so much for your grace!"

Shi Huaiyi's face was full of joy and he couldn't wait to go home immediately and tell his sister the good news.

Xia Hanyu naturally fulfilled his desire to return.

"You go down first. If there is anything else in the future, you can go look for Xia Ji and he will tell me."

After all, Shi Huaiyi is not qualified to enter the palace at any time, but Xia Ji is.

"only."

Shi Huaiyi turned around and walked away, only to take two steps and then came back.

"Your Highness, I have something important to report when I enter the palace today." He was so stimulated today that he almost forgot about it.

"The potato leaves in the Huangzhuang field are starting to turn yellow, but it's not due to disease. The tenants say they should be ripe and ready to be dug."

And he will soon be able to see what everyone calls the divine seed. I wonder if it can really produce several thousand kilograms per acre.

"When you said that, I remembered it."

Xia Hanyu asked the system in his mind, "System, the salt price in Daxia has returned to a lower level than before. Now that the potatoes are mature, does that mean that as long as these potatoes are distributed and people in Beijing start planting, my task will be completed. Is it complete?"

"Not bad." The system's mechanical sound sounded.

"But I have a question. Now that the weather has gradually warmed up, is it possible to sow potatoes all year round?" She has been thinking about this question for a long time.

"Of course not." The system naturally understood her question and explained: "Potatoes like normal temperature but are afraid of heat and winter cold. However, this batch of potatoes has been specially processed by the system and is naturally not afraid of high temperatures; in fact, at this time This is the best time to sow potatoes.”

"I see."

Xia Hanyu was disappointed for a while.

"I thought these potatoes could be grown all year round." I was really happy for nothing.

The system couldn't help but hehe, "Host, don't be too greedy."

As a powerful system, it believes that it has fulfilled its duties very faithfully.

Xia Hanyu curled her red lips and hummed.

"Your Highness?"

When Shi Huaiyi saw her suddenly standing there without speaking, sometimes happy and sometimes frowning, he thought something had happened and couldn't help but utter doubts.

Xia Hanyu came to his senses and said, "It's nothing, I'm just thinking about something."

"Shi Huaiyi, I already know about this matter. You go back and inform the manager of Huangzhuang, saying that in a few days, I will take all the people in Beijing to dig up the divine seeds in the fields together, so that they can prepare. "

"only."

Only then did Shi Huaiyi retreat.

Xia Hanyu raised her eyes to look at Xia Ji, no longer hiding the excitement in her eyes.

"Xia Ji, go quickly and accompany me to see my father."
