The Female Assistant of Wei Yuyan Shuangfei

Xie Zhenghong didn't know the inside story, but after taking a look at the tray and judging from Xie Tingwen's expression, he guessed what was going on.

Lian Xi came over with a tray, looked at the cracked skin of the sweet potatoes, couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and suppressed the impulse in his heart.

This thing smells so good. Although she hasn’t tasted it yet, she knows it’s delicious just by smelling it as she walked along the way.

Lian Xi walked over slowly, and under everyone's expectant gaze, slowly placed the tray on the tea table.

Anyone who has eaten sweet potatoes knows that after the sweet potatoes are out of the pot, the skin becomes shiny due to the evaporation of water and exudes an attractive aroma.

Xie Shuting did not doubt him, and took one and gently broke it open, then handed the other half to Xie Zhenghong and said, "Grandfather! You try it too."

Xie Zhenghong took the sweet potato in confusion, and imitated Xie Shuting, peeled off the skin of the sweet potato, and took a light taste.

The originally doubtful eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't help but nodded and said, "Shu Ting! So sweet, so sticky."

Xie Tingwen also picked up one with confusion, and imitated Xie Shuting, peeling off the skin and taking a bite.

His eyes suddenly shone with a golden light and he said, "This... this is really a good thing."

Xie Shuting wiped her fingers with satisfaction, took another one and broke it open, handed half of it to Lian Xi and said, "Look at your eyes, it's already stringy, you try it too."

"Thank you, miss."

Lian Xi happily took the sweet potato and ate it the same way as Xie Shuting. After taking a light bite, he couldn't stop eating.

After eating the other half of the sweet potato in her hand, Xie Shuting roughly guessed in her heart that this was probably the sweet potato from its original place of origin and had not been improved or grafted in later generations.

There are many varieties of sweet potatoes in later generations, some are high in sugar content, some are high in starch content, some taste sticky, and some taste smooth.

Although the ones nowadays cannot compare to those in the future, it is still rare to be able to taste this flavor now.

"Wang Lang!"

Wang Lang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Miss. I have sent this thing to Jiangnan. Mr. Mu said that we can try it."

As long as it is edible, whether it is foreign or local, Lianjia merchants will collect it and send it to Jiangnan for Mu Lao in Jiangnan to study it carefully.

The one and a half acres of land owned by Mu Lao in Jiangnan has become Xie Shuting's Agricultural Science Academy. It's a pity that Xie Shuting cannot do it herself and can only hand it over to Mu Lao.

After everyone finished eating the sweet potatoes in their hands, Xie Tingwen asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Is it so easy to eat this thing?"

"Master! This thing is so simple, you can eat it raw."

"Eat raw?" Xie Tingwen asked uncertainly.

However, Xie Shuting had already sorted out more than a dozen ways to eat sweet potatoes. Whether they were fried into balls or made into starch, they were all delicious.

Obviously, she couldn't tell these ideas to anyone, so she could only secretly gain the trust of the restaurant manager Jiang Keqing and ask her to prepare for the research.

When we say research, we are not researching dishes, but how to sell these things to others at high prices and make them accept it.

These things were not what Xie Shuting needed to consider, but she was very curious about where Wang Lang found the sweet potato.

"Wang Lang! I asked you before where you found this thing. What do you think?" Xie Shuting asked softly.

Her topic instantly aroused the interest of Xie Zhenghong and Xie Tingwen. They opened their eyes wide, pricked up their ears and listened quietly, fearing that they would miss out on key information.

Seeing the three people's expressions, Wang Lang smiled innocently and said, "Miss! I'm afraid you won't believe this. I exchanged it for about a hundred rolls of silk."

"Exchanged for silk?" Xie Shuting asked with a puzzled look on her face.

"Miss, don't disbelieve me. It was exchanged for the most ordinary silk. At that time, the native chief even said, 'We can pull as much as we can.'"

"Uh!~" Xie Shuting instantly became autistic.

Thinking back to the time when Chen Zhenlong had gone through careful planning and many twists and turns to evade customs inspection, he only brought back a sweet potato vine.

But after listening to Wang Lang's words at this time, he felt a little happy in his heart as he realized that this thing had obviously not received much attention overseas.

"Have you sent the boat again?"

"Miss is smart."

Wang Lang smiled and nodded, saying, "I arranged for someone to go again right after I came back. This round trip will probably take half a year. This time I ordered that you pull as many as you can."

Xie Tingwen, who was standing by, could no longer sit still and asked hurriedly, "This thing is so productive, we must report it to the court immediately."

Unexpectedly! As soon as Xie Tingwen stood up, he heard two voices of doubt coming into his ears, the same tone but different intonations.

"Wait a minute."

Wang Lang stood up awkwardly, picked up two sweet potatoes, called Lian Xi, hid at the end of the corridor, sat on the ground and started to eat.

Xie Zhenghong and Xie Shuting looked at each other, waved his hand and said, "Shuting! Since you also think it's not right, talk to your father."

"Yes!~"

Xie Shuting bowed, pressed Xie Tingwen down on the chair, and said softly, "Father! If you hand in the memorial now and it doesn't meet your expectations, how will you explain it to the emperor?"

"But didn't you confirm the production of this thing with Wang Lang? Could you be wrong?"

Xie Tingwen is good in everything except that he is too straightforward. He is single-minded and never considers the consequences.

If there is any position in the court that is suitable for him, the only one is the Counselor, who is stubborn and can defy everything.

"Father! Although we have confirmed its production, there is no guarantee that there won't be any accidents."

Xie Shuting patiently explained: "If something goes wrong, not only will our family be implicated, but even the recommendation of Wang Lang will be affected."

After hearing this, Xie Tingwen thought for a moment and said, "Then what do you think should be done?"

"Father doesn't need to report this matter to the emperor. Someone will naturally speak up for him." Xie Shuting smiled softly while stroking the cup.

"you mean......"

"The government pays close attention to people's livelihood, and the memorials from the Minister of Agriculture will reach the emperor directly. My daughter guesses that when the time is right, Lord Chen will definitely write a memorial to report to the government, and father can just follow the trend."

Xie Zhenghong nodded repeatedly to show his agreement. Although he had only been here for a short time, he knew several of the officials in charge of the government office.

Chen Ping was sent by the Minister of Agriculture to guide the people in farming. Now that there are such large-scale crops and they are not picky about the location, Chen Ping will definitely report as long as there are results.

At this moment, Xie Tingwen's emotions gradually calmed down, and Wang Lang, who was outside the corridor, walked over holding a cloth bag.

After the shock of sweet potato, everyone became curious about what was in the cloth bag.

"Wang Lang! This is..." Xie Zhenghong said with a suspicious look on his face.

"Please look, old man."

As Wang Lang spoke, he quickly unfolded the cloth bag, and there was nothing unusual inside except the rice seeds. However, Xie Shuting's expression was filled with joy and excitement.

"Wang Lang! Have Mu Lao and the others figured it out?"

"Yeah!~"

Wang Lang nodded and said, "When I went to deliver the sweet potatoes, Mu Lao said that this should be what the young lady wanted. To what extent, the young lady needs your guidance."
