"What is this?" Seeing the big bucket placed next to the stack of bowls, everyone immediately forgot about it curiously. Only after someone scooped the contents into the bowl did everyone see clearly that it turned out to be a bowl of golden color. porridge.

Can this... be eaten?Just when everyone looked at me and I saw your kung fu, another big bucket was brought over, this time what was taken out of it was a purple object, which was placed on a plate, and two pieces were placed in front of everyone. , with the bowl of golden

gruel, but no one dared to be the first to do it.At the end, a few more side dishes were served, and even if the items were complete, He Jiaan sat down by himself. When he saw that no one was doing anything, he couldn't help but smiled, and took the initiative to pick up the chopsticks and said: "It seems not everyone

I'm very hungry. I've been busy all morning, so you're welcome. "After finishing speaking, He Jiaan took a sip of porridge, then picked up the sweet potato on the table, broke off half of it, chewed it in his mouth, and finally tasted all the side dishes, which is to tell everyone , there's nothing wrong with these things

, are edible.Now that He Jia'an had eaten, everyone picked up their chopsticks, picked up the porridge and smelled it first, but he had never smelled this aroma before, and he didn't know what was in it, Bian Leda Boldly took a sip first, and after tasting it, he nodded in agreement, gave a thumbs up and said, "It tastes good."

Chapter 629

Maybe it's because I'm really hungry, or maybe the taste of corn and sweet potato is really tempting. In short, after Bian Le opened his mouth, other people also joined the army of tasting the taste, although the golden porridge is not as good as the usual one. meat porridge, but

But it also has its own unique taste, coupled with fresh side dishes, everyone drank the bowl of porridge in front of them.

It wasn't until this moment that everyone realized that they didn't even know the name of the food after eating it for so long. Bian Le asked curiously: "Young Master He, what is the name of the porridge we ate just now?"

Looking at a group of people who were listening with pricked ears, He Jiaan shook his head with a smile and said: "This is not because I, He, is hiding something, but because I have made an agreement with Master Sima long ago. When Master Sima arrives, everyone will know." gone."

"Oh, I see."

Everyone understands that this disguise is to express the close relationship between him and Master Sima. In this way, Master Sima made farming the first major thing he did when he came to Qingjiangpu, and it should be related to these two things up.

After figuring this out, the next step is to wait for Sima Yuan's arrival. It's boring to be idle anyway, but someone went to serve another bowl of polenta, drinking it slowly, while passing the boring time.Important people always appear at the last moment, and after a while, Sima Yuan's sedan chair finally appeared in everyone's field of vision. When he arrived in front of everyone, Sima Yuan walked out of the sedan chair in an official robe, smiling and clapping his hands. : "Really

My fellow villagers, my official is late. "

Sima Yuan could say that, but if someone really blamed him carelessly, he probably thought his life was too long, so he quickly waved his hands and everyone laughed it off.At this time, Sima Yuan saw the empty bowls on the table, and some bowls still had corn porridge left in them. He couldn't help but smiled and walked over, pretending to be angry and said: "Okay, He Jia'an, how much do I have to tell you?" If you want some corn, you excuse the lack of seeds

, refused to give it to me, you are so good, you actually took out such a precious thing to entertain everyone, shouldn't you give me an explanation? He Jiaan laughed and said, "Master Sima was just joking. It's just some corn. It's not precious or not. It's just that the output is still a bit low. When the output comes up in a few years, I'm afraid it will be given to Lord Sima. Sima grown ups

will not eat. "

"Hehe." Sima Yuan smiled and said: "If the yield of this corn and sweet potato is really as Mr. He said, then the common people in this world will be blessed." The people around them kept their ears up all the time. Listening to the conversation between Sima Yuan and He Jiaan, when Sima Yuan mentioned the people in the world, everyone showed puzzled expressions on their faces. You must know that the world is so big and the population is so large that they want to feed

How difficult it is to have such a large population, often those peasant uprisings are caused by lack of food. At this time, someone asked curiously: "I just heard from Mr. Sima that the yield of corn and sweet potatoes is very high?" ?” Although the taste is not as good as the usual polished rice, but if you are full, these are still good choices. The big bowl of porridge you just drank and two pieces of sweet potatoes made your stomach swell. Began to be curious about these two

crop yield.Sima Yuan and He Jiaan acted for a long time because they asked such a question. Sima Yuan gave He Jiaan a veiled look, and then explained to everyone: "I'm afraid you don't know, this golden thing is called corn. The purple ones are called sweet potatoes, which Mr. He entrusted someone to bring back from far away Europe. Although the taste of these two foods is a bit worse, their yield is extremely amazing. You may wish to guess, if you guess correctly , I have

reward. "The silver reward is nothing to these squires, but it is more important than anything else to make Mr. Sima remember himself. Immediately, some people began to guess, what two stones, three stones, four stones, or even someone else sticks out

He slapped and shouted five stones, but was immediately ridiculed by the people around him, what kind of joke, what kind of land can grow five stones of grain, this is just like a joke.Sima Yuan watched everyone guessing and guessing silently with a smile on his face, but he still had no intention of opening his mouth. After guessing for a long time, everyone didn't see what Sima Yuan said. has exceeded

out of the normal amount?Everyone couldn't help feeling a little regretful, if they had known that they would have said less just now, but now it seemed too deliberate to turn the words back, just when everyone looked embarrassed, Sima Yuan slowly stretched out a fist, and then shook shook his head and said

: "All of you have not guessed correctly. If you grow corn, you can harvest about ten stones of grain per mu." Sima Yuan's figure is still a bit exaggerated, but he just wanted to give everyone a shocking effect. Even if the food grown by that time is not as good as this number, who dares to question himself face to face, so he simply put

Yield mentioned the highest.

ten stone?

Could Master Sima have lost his head?Or have you never planted land?I have grown up so big, let alone ten stones, I have never even heard of land that can harvest three stones of grain.Some people have already started shaking their heads, which clearly means that they don't believe Master Sima's words. One person objected, and the others began to become bolder. Bian Le, who was closer to Sima Yuan, rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "

Master Sima, did you remember wrongly?This good fertile land can produce about three stones of grain per mu. If you grow corn, maybe five stones is enough. Bian Le thought that he was giving Sima Yuan a step down, so he cut off the ten stones directly, but he didn't know that Sima Yuan didn't accept his kindness, so he shook his head silently, and said with a smile: "I didn't Just kidding everyone, and

And what I just said was just corn. If it were replaced with sweet potatoes, at least [-] shi of grain could be harvested per mu. "Looking at Sima Yuan's resolute face, everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then you looked at me and I looked at you. This time everyone finally understood that this Lord Sima is not as mature as he imagined at all. Now he is completely

After being deceived by He Jiaan, no matter what He Jiaan said, he believed it completely. He even dared to report the number of ten shi and twenty shi for an acre of land. This is just like a joke.Thinking of this, someone has already cast unkind eyes on He Jiaan, and suddenly someone came out from the crowd, and said with a righteous face: "I'm in Xialuxi, I want to ask Mr. He, the number that Master Sima said just now Can

You taught him? "

He Jiaan's expression remained unchanged, he nodded and said, "That's right, I told Master Sima, so what?" "He Jia'an, Master Sima has lived in the capital for a long time, so it's okay if he doesn't know anything about the fields, how can you just use a number to deceive Master Sima?

Let me ask you, have you ever seen the production of corn and sweet potatoes with your own eyes? "The corners of He Jia'an's mouth curled up slowly, his eyes flashed slowly from these disbelieving eyes, and then he said almost mockingly: "I heard from Lu Yuanwai that I, He Jia'an, lied? "

Chapter 630

The originally harmonious picture suddenly became tense because of the conversation between Lu Xi and He Jiaan. The other people didn't know that this number was too watery, but they all endured it for the sake of Sima Yuan. , but there happens to be

Such a straight-hearted guy stood up, and the disdain in his tone might even implicate Sima Yuan.Faced with He Jiaan's doubts, Lu Xi simply nodded and said: "That's right, although I, Lu, have never planted grain before, but I know how much grain this mu of land can produce in a year, and how much rent I have to pay." Son, don't say it can grow ten stones,

Twenty shi of grain is three shi, which is very rare, so listen to me, Mr. He, it is better to honestly take back what you just said. "Lu Xi's words were also echoed by other people, but everyone didn't want to offend He Jia'an badly. Some people said: "There is no way to be sure about this land. Maybe there will be wind and flood disasters. The situation of receiving is not without

Yes, Mr. He might as well lower your expectations, Wushi is always possible. "The crowd also wanted to save some face for He Jia'an, but He Jia'an just didn't want to accept this favor, and said with a smile in front of Sima Yuan: "Since everyone doesn't believe me, let's make a bet in front of Master Sima today." ,you

What do you say? "

When everyone heard it, it seemed that He Jiaan was unwilling, so someone asked: "I wonder how Mr. He should play this bet?" "It's very simple." He Jiaan smiled and said: "Just do what I just said. , Today I will take out 120 mu of land, [-] mu of land to plant corn, and [-] mu of land to plant sweet potatoes. The limit for corn is [-] days, and the limit for sweet potatoes is [-] days.

If I can't achieve what I just said, I, He Jia'an, would be willing to be punished. "

Bragging is fine, but it's a bit interesting to brag when Shanggang goes online. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, so they asked questions in a hurry.

"Is Mr. He really willing to bet ten shi per mu of corn and twenty shi per mu of sweet potato?"

"What are the odds on this bet?"

"He came in a hurry, Mr. He has ever accepted the IOU?"

"..." In short, there are people who ask all kinds of questions, but no one believes what He Jiaan said just now. In their view, the numbers of ten stones and twenty stones are simply impossible to achieve. This is definitely a stable situation. It's a deal that never loses money, so

It doesn't matter that Sima Yuan is by their side, since He Jia'an is about to bleed, everyone can only laugh.

Seeing this group of profit-seeking guys, He Jiaan was not polite, sneered in his heart, and said loudly: "It seems that everyone is interested in this bet. If this is the case, then that's good, Tang Lin... bring the paper." He Jiaan Turning around, he gave an order, and not long after, Tang Lin took out the white paper he had prepared, ground the ink and put it on the table. He Jiaan sat behind the table and wrote down his request on the paper while talking. above,

For example, something like 'ten stones for corn, twenty stones for sweet potatoes' must be written. As for the odds, as a crop, the more you favor yourself, the better.

Those who bet on the winner of Hejiaan will pay two for one, and those who bet on the loser of Hejiaan will pay one for one. There is no upper limit on the amount, and the evidence is evidence.Everyone read the bet written by He Jiaan from the beginning to the end, and when they found that it was indeed what He Jiaan said just now, they began to have some doubts in their hearts. Was He Jiaan's confidence too strong?I know it's a compensation

How can money business be so bold?

Or maybe the calmness on his face is completely faked, and he is just waiting for everyone to bet on the two-for-one, so as to kill everyone?

Seeing the smile on He Jiaan's face, everyone began to hesitate. He Jiaan couldn't help laughing and said, "What's wrong with everyone? You are the ones who can't grow it. Let you place your bets. How happy are you? .”

After being so provoked by He Jiaan, someone finally stood up, and Lu Xi opened his mouth wide-eyed and shouted, "I offer 500 taels, and the bet is defeated." Although Lu Xi is rich, it is impossible to carry it with him. With so much money in hand, Tang Lin handed the note he had prepared to Lu Xi. When he saw the words written on it, Lu Xi's nose almost turned out of anger.

Things have been prepared long ago, even the format on the note is clearly written, as long as you fill in the bet to win or lose, and then fill in the amount and name, an IOU will be completed.

Resisting the unhappiness in his heart, Lu Xi took the brush to write the amount, and after filling in his own name, he gave He Jia'an an unconvinced look, which clearly revealed the meaning that you are dead.He Jiaan didn't take it seriously, and after glancing at the IOU written by Lu Xi, he said loudly: "Mr. Lu has already placed a bet. Is there any other member who wants to place a bet? Please hurry up, and the seeder will arrive in a while." time delay

Master Ma's business is wrong. "Now that someone has already eaten the first bite of crab, other people don't hesitate, and they go forward to pick up the slips of paper and fill them in, some fill in five hundred, and some fill in one thousand. There are more and more notes

Come.During this process, He Jiaan's mouth was never idle, and while reading out the bet amount aloud, he also complained: "I said, don't you really have any confidence in He Mou? This corn and sweet potato of high yield

Maybe you can really grow ten or twenty shi, and you won't suffer at the ratio of [-] to [-]. "He Jiaan said this, but no one believed his words. With the passage of time, everyone could see that the expression on He Jiaan's face gradually became ugly. Every time he received a note, it was like a deep hatred. , upon seeing this

In this situation, everyone knew what was going on, and some people even returned and filled out a sheet and happily stuffed it into He Jiaan's hands.Finally, the betting was over, and the IOUs in He Jiaan's hands became thick. Looking at these IOUs, He Jiaan couldn't help feeling nervous. If he really lost this time, he might have to pay tens of thousands of dollars this time. only two silver
