Chapter 110 Do You Know (5)
The autumn wind blew, blowing up the fallen leaves, making a rustling sound, like a low autumn elegy.
Lin Qinshuang stood in front of the window, looking at the dead leaves blown down by the wind in the yard, and a sense of joy surged in her heart.
The potatoes and sweet potatoes she planted a few months ago are now ripe and ready to be harvested.
She turned around, walked to the dressing table, and carefully put on her makeup in front of the bronze mirror.
Today, she wanted to dress up, but due to her identity as a young lady, she could only ask Sheng Hong to take her to the farm so that he could witness this miraculous harvest with his own eyes.
She chose a goose yellow embroidered long dress, which made her skin look whiter, and paired it with a set of exquisite pearl headwear, which made her look even more charming and beautiful.
"Xue Niang, go and get my white jade hairpin." Lin Qinshuang ordered the maid behind her.
Xueniang quickly took out the white jade hairpin and carefully put it on Lin Qinshuang.
The sunlight shines on the white jade hairpin, reflecting bits of light and illuminating Lin Qinshuang's bright and beautiful face.
Lin Qinshuang looked at herself in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction.
She walked with light steps to Sheng Hong's study.
Sheng Hong was reviewing official documents at his desk with a frown on his face, as if he had encountered some difficulty.
Lin Qinshuang walked gently behind him and called softly, "Honglang."
Sheng Hong looked up when he heard the voice, and when he saw Lin Qinshuang, a smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Shuang'er, why are you here?"
Lin Qinshuang walked to Sheng Hong's side, gently massaged his shoulders, and whispered softly:
"Hong Lang, I heard that you've been very busy with official duties recently and have been very tired, so I came here specially to relieve your fatigue."
Sheng Hong held Lin Qinshuang's hand and said softly, "Shuang'er still cares about me."
Lin Qinshuang snuggled up to Sheng Hong and said in a sweet voice, "Honglang, I've planted some new and unusual crops on the farm. They're ripe now, and I'd like to ask you to accompany me to the farm to take a look."
Sheng Hong was slightly surprised: "Oh? A new and exotic crop? What is it?"
Lin Qinshuang pretended to be mysterious: "You'll know when you go there, Honglang. I guarantee it will open your eyes."
She gently shook Sheng Hong's arm and said coquettishly, "Hong Lang, just accompany me, okay?"
Sheng Hong couldn't stand Lin Qinshuang's coquettishness the most, so he smiled helplessly: "Okay, okay, whatever you say."
Lin Qinshuang was secretly delighted to see Sheng Hong agreed, but her face still showed a shy look.
"Honglang, then we have an agreement. On this day off, we will go to the farm together."
Sheng Hong scratched Lin Qinshuang's nose lovingly: "You are the one with so many tricks."
Lin Qinshuang dodged with a sweet smile, but she was thinking in her heart how to use this opportunity to make the officials notice her manor.
After Sheng Hong left, Lin Qinshuang couldn't wait to call out the system: "Mengmeng, how long will it take for the government's people to arrive in Yangzhou?"
"The host currently does not have viewing permissions and cannot view." The mechanical voice of Su Meng from the system sounded.
Lin Qinshuang frowned slightly: "How can I check it?"
"Spend 10 points to view the dynamics of plot characters in real time, and spend 50 points to view the dynamics of anyone in the mission world in real time."
Lin Qinshuang gritted her teeth and said, "Then let's open the 50-point one."
Although it hurts a bit, these points are nothing in order to complete the task.
"50 points have been deducted, and the host has been granted permission."
Lin Qinshuang immediately checked the itinerary of Zhang Maoze and others and found that they would arrive in Yangzhou on the day Sheng Hong was on vacation, and would pass by the farm where she grew potatoes.
Lin Qinshuang couldn't help laughing towards the sky, thinking to herself: It seems that God is helping me!
She immediately contacted the system: "Mengmeng, can you create some obstacles so that they can rest in my manor for a night?"
"Yes, host. 10 points for creating a landslide."
Lin Qinshuang said without hesitation: "Deduct it. In order to complete the task as soon as possible, these points are nothing!"
"10 points have been deducted. A landslide event has been arranged for the host."
Lin Qinshuang curled up the corners of her mouth in satisfaction, her heart full of anticipation.
On a holiday morning, the sun shines on Sheng Mansion and the air is filled with the sweet fragrance of osmanthus.
Lin Qinshuang was wearing a goose yellow dress, which made her skin look whiter than snow and her eyes and teeth look bright.
She gently waved her round fan, with an expectant smile on her lips, waiting for Sheng Hong.
Sheng Hong walked out in comfortable casual clothes, looking energetic and in high spirits.
"Shuang'er, you are particularly charming today." Sheng Hong praised, his eyes full of doting.
Lin Qinshuang smiled shyly and gently took Sheng Hong's arm, "Honglang, let's go."
The rumble of the carriage carried the two of them to the farm on the outskirts of the city.
The scenery along the road gradually transitions from a bustling street market to pastoral scenery, with birds singing and flowers blooming, which is refreshing.
After arriving at the farm, Lin Qinshuang couldn't wait to pull Sheng Hong to the fields.
"Honglang, look, this is the new crop I told you about." Lin Qinshuang pointed to a green field, her eyes flashing with excitement.
Sheng Hong looked at the plant with curiosity, a plant he had never seen before. The dense leaves covered the ground, and there was nothing special about it.
"Shuang'er, what on earth is this?"
Lin Qinshuang smiled mysteriously and ordered Xue Niang beside her, "Go, dig a few out for the master to see."
Xue Niang responded, picked up the hoe, and dug carefully a few times.
Brown lumps covered in mud appeared before everyone's eyes.
Sheng Hong was even more confused. "What is this? Is it edible?"
Lin Qinshuang picked up a potato and gently wiped off the dirt, revealing the yellowish skin.
"Honglang, this is called a potato. Not only can it be eaten, it can also be used as food."
Sheng Hong took the potato doubtfully and looked at it carefully. It felt heavy in his hand and exuded the fragrance of soil.
"Oh? Is it really that magical?"
Lin Qinshuang was full of confidence. "Honglang, I will cook for you personally at noon and let you taste the deliciousness of these potatoes."
She turned and told the tenant farmer, "Go, dig out the potatoes from one acre of land first."
The sun scorched the earth, and the tenant farmers sweated profusely as they busily harvested potatoes.
Time passed minute by minute, and the air was filled with the unique smell of soil and potatoes.
After a while, a tenant farmer came running over excitedly, his face filled with joy.
"Master, Madam, great news! The potato yield per acre has reached 2,500 kilograms!"
The tenant farmer's voice trembled slightly with excitement, and his eyes sparkled with excitement.
Sheng Hong and Lin Qinshuang were stunned when they heard this.
Two thousand five hundred kilograms!
This output is simply unheard of!
Sheng Hong excitedly grabbed the tenant farmer's shoulders and asked, "Are you serious?"
The tenant farmer nodded vigorously, "I dare not lie to you, sir! We saw with our own eyes that we dug out 2,500 kilograms of potatoes from just one acre of land!"
If these potatoes are really edible, it will be a great contribution to solving the problem of food and clothing for the people!
