Chapter 406 When the potatoes are ripe

The carriage headed towards the Qi Palace along the clean cement road.

On the way, Xiao Ming and Fei Yueer began to explain the difference between hot air balloons and hydrogen balloons, as well as cement and other unique things in Qingzhou. Fei Yueer was so shocked that she couldn't stop talking about her all the way.

Fei Yueer is also a famous talented woman in Chang'an, but when she encounters this scientific knowledge, she is immediately confused.

On the cement road, the carriage ran very quickly. After about ten minutes, they arrived at the palace. Aster and Luluo got off the carriage cheered and directed the servants of the palace to move the gifts from the wedding into the palace.

When he learned that Xiao Ming was coming back, all the servants of the royal palace gathered here, and Qian Dafu also came back from the mine to meet the princess who entered the Qi royal palace.

After getting off the carriage, Xiao Ming took Fei Yue'er into the main hall.

After moving the things on the carriage, Qian Dafu led the servants of the prince's mansion to the main hall, bowed with a smile, "See Your Highness, and see the princess."

I had already experienced it on the dock just now, but Fei Yue'er became a little more dull and said with a smile: "No gift."

"Thank you Princess." Qian Dafu and others stood up.

At this time, Fei Yue'er said again: "In the future, I will serve Your Highness with you. I hope you can work together to share the trivial matters for Your Highness. I have nothing valuable to do, and I have prepared some broken silver as a blessing."

After saying that, Fei Yueer signaled Xiaohuan, and Xiaohuan immediately took out a small package, which were all fine silver.

Before leaving, Fiji gave her the money and asked him to take some of the servants in the palace, so that these servants could have a good impression of her and serve her loyally.

"Princess Xie." Xiaohuan took the broken silver and sent it to him one by one, and many servants smiled.

Xiao Ming said to Fei Yueer softly: "You will win people's hearts."

Fei Yue'er smiled with her lips pursed and said, "This is all taught by her father."

Xiao Huan sent out the broken silver, and Xiao Ming said loudly: "You have taken this silver too. You must serve the princess with all your heart in the future. If anyone is malicious to the princess, don't blame me for being rude."

"Yes, Your Highness." The servants bowed and said.

Nodding, Xiao Ming asked everyone to retreat, leaving Qian Dafu alone, and said, "Princess, this is the housekeeper Qian. He has been serving in front of his mother before. Remember, he is the most trustworthy person in Qingzhou. If he encounters a crisis, he is also the most reliable person."

"My mother once told me, Mr. Qian, I will ask you to help you in the future." Fei Yue'er said softly.

Qian Dafu was a little excited, and he hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Princess, as long as the princess gives orders, the old slave will definitely devote himself to his work."

Fei Yue'er chuckled softly when she heard this.

After meeting the servants of the royal palace, Xiao Ming led Fei Yue'er to the bedroom, and this will be where the two of them live.

After entering the bedroom, Fei Yue'er suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and wandered around the bedroom like a child.

Seeing the full-length mirror in front of the dressing table, she couldn't walk any further and looked at herself in the mirror. This mirror was much bigger than what Xiao Ming gave her.

After wandering in front of the mirror for a while, Fei Yue'er turned to the bed again, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Your Highness, what is this?" Fei Yue'er pointed to the spring pad on the boat and said. Compared to ordinary wooden beds, Xiao Ming's boat had an extra thing as big as the bed.

"This is a mattress. I guess it was sent by craftsmen during this time when I went to Chang'an." Xiao Ming said with a smile.

The beds in ancient times were all solid wood beds, which was good, but the bed boards were not ordinary hard. So after equipped with spring beds in the Wei Family Restaurant, he asked the craftsman to make a special mattress for him.

This mattress has a spring as support and is filled with cotton. Although it is not as elastic as a sponge, it is also a high-end product in this era.

"Mattress?" Fei Yue'er stretched out her finger and pressed it, and it was bounced up again.

Xiao Ming smiled and said, "You sit on and try it. It's very comfortable. I am preparing to produce mattresses for the Chamber of Commerce to sell."

Fei Yue'er nodded and sat gently on the mattress. She felt her body as if she was sitting on the water. She sat down and was bounced up again. For a moment, she grew up with her mouth in surprise.

"How is it? It's more comfortable than a wooden bed. We will live here from now on." Xiao Ming said with a wicked smile.

Fei Yue'er's face turned slightly red when she heard this.

Xiao Ming was about to tease Fei Yue'er again, when Zi Yuan walked in and said, "Your Highness Pang Changshi is here and said the potatoes are about to be harvested."

"Yeah?"

Xiao Mingyi thought that he came back in time, and now is the season for potato harvest.

"Hahaha..." Xiao Ming's saliva was about to flow down, and his favorite fries would soon become a reality.

After laughing, he said to Fei Yue'er: "Princess, you are familiar with each other here, so I will come when I go."

In Fei Yue'er's astonished eyes, Xiao Ming and Zi Wan walked towards the main hall.

Seeing Xiao Ming leave, Fei Yue'er breathed, suddenly smiled naughtyly, lay on the bed, and her body kept rolling.

Fei Yue'er held the soft quilt and looked happy, "What a comfortable bed. This Qingzhou is indeed magical, and it is different from Chang'an everywhere."

In the main hall, Pang Yukun was waiting for Xiao Ming.

After a while, Xiao Ming went to the gate of the main hall and said to him: "Let's go, go directly to the slave plantation."

Pang Yukun laughed and followed Xiao Ming's footsteps.

He was also excited. I wonder if this kind of thing that produced twenty stones per mu in Xiao Ming's mouth could bring miracles to Qingzhou.

On the horse, the two went to the slave plantation together. This time he came back basically winter. This is another season of food scarcity. With potatoes, the army and the academy can have more dishes.

In the plantation outside the city, Kuiwu was waiting for Pang Yukun to come, and at this time he had summoned the slaves from the village.

Seeing Xiao Ming and Pang Yukun coming together, he immediately stepped forward and said attentively: "Kui Wu meets His Highness, Pang Changshi."

"No gift." Xiao Ming looked at the fields, and there were raised ridges among the fields, and there were low green plants on the ridges, which were the stems and leaves of potatoes.

The real potatoes are buried on this raised ridge.

"Your Highness, the little slave has taken care of the slaves over the past few months. Your Highness said that the potato can produce at least twenty stones per mu. If the good care of the potato can reach forty stones per mu, we dare not slack off according to the manual given by your Highness." Kui Wu's face was flushed with excitement.

Xiao Ming once said that if the potato yield per mu exceeds 30 stones, he will be dismissed from his slave status and make him a real resident of Qingzhou.

"Well, it's a snail or a horse, and you have to pull it out and slap it." Xiao Ming looked excited when he looked at the endless potato.

On the way here, Pang Yukun said that the seedlings cultivated had planted a total of 3,000 acres of land, and he was looking forward to the total harvest this time.
