Chapter 558 (2/2)
Yunqing said, ”I have solved this problem. You don't have to worry about it. It's the matter of jujube today, which makes you tired. ”
Speaking of this matter, Yuxi is also full of guilt, said: ”it is also my fault, if I do not curse jujube, jujube will not have a fever.” After that, she won't talk nonsense any more.
Yunqing thought Yuxi would complain about her, but unexpectedly he blamed himself. Immediately some cry and laugh, said: ”you don't think about it, it has nothing to do with you, jujube is sick just an accident.” It's just a coincidence.
Yuxi shook his head and said, ”I will never say these unlucky words again.” One lesson is enough, but you can't make the same mistake again.
Yunqing didn't know how to comfort him, so he said, ”don't think about it. Go to sleep.” I was very tired after a busy day.
Yuxi doesn't have any sleepiness, but in order not to affect Yunqing, she still lies back, even if she can't sleep, she still squints to keep her mind.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter. In the early August, Yuxi was too hot to bear, so he put a basin of ice in the corner of the room. In this way, the room is cooler, and she is not so upset any more. This summer, it's really frustrating.
Qu Ma handed the list to Yuxi and said, ”madam, this is the list of details of the purchase. Have a look.”
Yuxi looked at it roughly and nodded, ”yes.” Yuxi is very relieved to Qu's mother.
When the shopping is complete, Qu Ma brings the prepared gift list to Yuxi. No matter what he did, Yuxi didn't nod at last. What he had done before was in vain.
Yuxi takes this meeting seriously. After reading it, he said, ”this year's gift to Mr. Chen is 30% higher than last year.” Mr. Chen is now Yunqing's arm. The handling of documents and other trivial matters are handled by Mr. Chen.
Qu's mother hesitated and said, ”it's not good to only add Mr. Chen, but Guo Xun and Yu Cong, if they don't?” In contrast, the relationship between Guo Xun and Yu Cong is more intimate.
Yuxi said with a smile, ”it doesn't matter.” Guo Xun is different from Chen et al. They can't be compared.
At that time, when Qin Zhao was the first general in Northwest China, only others gave him gifts. How could he let him give gifts! Yuxi gives gifts every year, not to officials, but to Yunqing's subordinates. Things are not valuable. They are all for eating, just for expressing one's mind.
Chen Mian's wife, Wan Shi, received the gift from Yuxi and came to the door the next day to thank him. In addition to the return ceremony, Wan Shi also brought something new to Yuxi.
Wan pointed to a bag of light yellow round things and said, ”madam, this is from my hometown in Fujian Province.”
Yuxi looked at this thing and asked, ”haven't you seen this thing before? What's your name? ” Yuxi's two medical books are back to back, with few plants she doesn't know.
Wan said, ”listen to my husband, it's called potato.” After thinking about it, Wan said sincerely, ”this is my sister-in-law's reply. My husband said it was fresh. Let me bring it to my wife for a taste. ”
Yuxi looked at a bag of potato, some speechless. Chen Mian's elder sister-in-law is really not stingy when she sends these things to others from thousands of miles away. However, Yuxi did not say much about this kind of housework. He immediately asked with a smile, ”have you eaten this? How does it taste? ”
Wanshi lowered his head and said, ”yes, we cooked it. It tastes good.” I can only say it's not bad. In fact, Wanshi didn't want to send this to Yuxi, but Chen Mian gave her such an order, and she couldn't disobey it.
Yuxi laughed and said, ”this is a new thing.”
”It's introduced from fanwai,” Wan said. ”It's grown in my hometown now, and it's not a valuable thing.” After eating it, I know it's not a good thing. She sent the worthless potato from thousands of miles away. Her sister-in-law is really stingy as ever. It's also a matter of making Wanshi decide to send annual gifts, which are not practical but good-looking.
Yuxi heard that there was planting in Fujian, his eyes flashed, and he asked, ”this potato has been planted in Fujian? What are the planting conditions of this potato? How much is the harvest per mu? ” Yuxi has never heard of potato before. She just thought that Fujian would grow this kind of thing, which must have its advantages.
Wan shook his head and said, ”I don't know.”
Yuxi didn't embarrass Wanshi. He didn't ask again. Because she knew that even if she asked Wanshi, Wanshi couldn't say anything, so she came out. Anyway, there are ready-made things in front of her. Even if Chen Mian and WAN Shi are not clear, she can send someone to Fujian to know the details. If the yield of good varieties is not low, she will learn the cultivation methods of potato, and then it will be popularized in the northwest. The yield of wheat is too low. Even if the weather is favorable, one mu of land can only receive 340 Jin of wheat, which is not enough to eat.
