The Invincible Sixth Prince

When they set off the next day, Jia Yao returned to normal. She talked and laughed with Yun Zheng and the others along the way, and even teased Yun Zheng from time to time.

Yun Zheng couldn't help but sigh that women are really fickle animals.

Three days later, they returned to Shuofang.

Yun Zheng did not rush back to the palace immediately, but took Jia Yao and Miao Yin to the experimental field in Shuofang.

There are also small experimental fields in Shuofang, but not many crops are planted there, only three crops: corn, pumpkin and potato.

"Are you trying to reassure me?"

Arriving at the gate of the experimental field, Jia Yao stared at Yun Zheng with burning eyes and asked.

"Can't I take a look myself?"

Yun Zheng curled his lips and said, "Let's see if we can add a meal or something."

Jia Yao snorted softly, but she didn't believe it in her heart.

Yun Zheng clearly wanted to take her to see these crops first, so that she could stay in Shuofang and recuperate with peace of mind.

This bastard!

It was clearly well-intentioned, but he refused to admit it.

The group dismounted and quickly walked into the experimental field.

This experimental field is only more than ten acres, most of which is planted with corn.

As soon as you enter the experimental field, you will see a lush and green scene.

Yun Zheng couldn't wait to get to the rows of corn.

According to his request, the corns were all grown in ridges.

Now it is July, and the corn has begun to grow into corn husks.

Yun Zheng tore open a corn husk and found only a corn cob inside. It should take until the autumn harvest time for the corn to grow fully.

After looking at the corn, Yun Zheng came to the potato field where potatoes were planted.

The potato field is very clean and there are almost no weeds.

However, some of the potato seedlings appear to be wilting.

"Isn't it already grown up?"

Yun Zheng muttered to himself, then immediately squatted down and carefully dug up the soil.

As the surrounding soil was dug up bit by bit, fresh potatoes emerged.

“Is this considered grown up?”

Miaoyin's eyes flashed with excitement, and she asked Yun Zheng expectantly.

"Let's take a look first and then talk."

Yun Zheng suppressed his excitement and dug out the potatoes one by one.

Jiayao and Miaoyin also quickly squatted down and helped Yun Zheng dig the soil.

With the efforts of the three people, the potatoes were dug out one by one.

These potatoes are not very big.

The largest one is only slightly bigger than an egg.

The smaller ones are smaller than quail eggs.

When they dug up all the surrounding soil, they harvested more than ten potatoes in total.

Six of them were about the size of eggs, and the rest were potato eggs, the smallest of which was only as big as a little finger.

All in all, the potatoes harvested from this potato seedling should weigh more than one kilogram.

This result is not ideal.

But for Yun Zheng, this is already a good gain!

The key point is that the growth cycle of this potato seems to be much shorter than he imagined.

Come to think of it, it seems like these potatoes have only been planted for about three months?

If you can harvest a crop in three months, wouldn’t that mean you have the opportunity to grow two crops a year?

If that were true, he would wake up laughing in his dreams.

"This yield seems to be much higher than that of ground potatoes!"

Jiayao picked up a potato and weighed it in his hand.

"Don't you see what time it is now?"

Yun Zheng rolled his eyes at her and said, "If they grow for another half a month or a month, these potatoes should be able to grow a little bigger!"

"Yes!"

Jia Yao reacted and his eyes gradually began to light up.

It's only July now.

With more time, these potatoes will definitely grow a little bigger.

Even if the yield of these potatoes is not as good as that of wild potatoes, it is still much higher than the yield of other crops grown in Beihuan.

Yun Zheng stood up with satisfaction, and told Shen Kuan: "Put these potatoes away, we can barely make a plate of fried potatoes when we get back."

"what?"

Jia Yao was surprised, "This potato... can be fried and eaten?"

"That's not the case!"

Yun Zheng smiled proudly, "You are so lucky, this is our first time eating potatoes, and you caught up with us."

"Is it?"

Jia Yao pursed her lips and smiled, "If that's the case, my luck is really good!"

Yun Zheng smiled and called them to go to the pumpkin field.

Compared to potatoes and corn, the pumpkin field looks much messier.

Looking up, I saw that the pumpkin leaves were so dense that I couldn't even see the ground.

Yun Zheng dug up some pumpkin leaves and soon found a few green pumpkins.

These pumpkins also vary in size.

The largest one is slightly larger than a human head.

These pumpkins can actually be eaten now, but since Yun Zheng wants to save the seeds, he certainly can't just pick the pumpkins and fry them now.

However, the pumpkin tips can still be eaten.

Yun Zheng pinched two relatively tender pumpkin tips and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Mmm, another dish!

It’s great to be able to eat two dishes I’ve never eaten before in one day!

"Which of these three crops is suitable for planting in Beihuan?"

Jia Yao raised his eyes and glanced at the experimental field, asking with anticipation on his face.

"Why ask so many questions?"

Yun Zheng raised his lips and said, "When these three crops are harvested, you will know!"

"Are you still afraid that I will run away?" Jia Yao pouted slightly.

"I'm afraid you'll steal it, okay?"

Yun Zheng rolled his eyes at Jia Yao.

He was indeed afraid that Jia Yao would come running over.

Since Jiayao has been called to Shuofang this time, she must be given a good rest.

Seeing that Yun Zheng refused to say anything, Jia Yao didn't dare to ask any further.

After explaining some things to Tian Bing, Yun Zheng left the experimental field and rushed to the palace.

"You can arrange the other people I brought with me. Let Qiqige stay in the palace with me!"

On the way, Jia Yao took the initiative to talk to Yun Zheng again.

Yun Zheng looked over and asked, "Why? Are you afraid that I will sneak into your bed in the middle of the night, so you want Qi Qi Ge to help you keep watch?"

"What are you thinking about!"

Jia Yao scolded, "I know you have good intentions. You want me to stay in Shuofang for a while longer to recuperate and keep Qiqige by my side. I will have a companion, right?"

"Fine!"

Yunzheng readily agreed.

It would be better to leave her with a companion, at least there would be someone to talk to her at any time.

When they were almost at the palace, Yun Zheng ordered Shen Kuan to send someone to settle Jia Yao's personal guards.

Soon, Yun Zheng and his friends returned to the palace.

They had just entered the palace and had no time to catch their breath when Ye Zi, who had received the news, walked out from the back hall.

After simply greeting Jia Yao, Ye Zi came to Yun Zheng and whispered in his ear.

"You guys chat first, I'll be back soon!"

Yun Zheng gave an order and immediately followed Ye Zi to the side.

Miaoyin frowned slightly and immediately cast a questioning look at Shen Luoyan.

Could something have happened somewhere again?

Looking at Ye Zi's expression, it seems like something big is happening!

Shen Luoyan shook his head and chuckled, giving Miaoyin a look, indicating that she didn't need to worry.

Seeing this, Miaoyin felt relieved.

Although Jia Yao was full of doubts, he did not ask.

She knew in her heart that since Yun Zheng and Ye Zi did not talk about the matter in front of her, it meant that what they wanted to say was not convenient to say in front of her.

If that’s the case, why should I ask more questions?
