I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

Li Yunjiong felt a pain. His feet hurt so much!

The piece of meat that he had just picked up fell down.

Lord Cao was shocked...

Li Yunjiong looked at Lord Cao angrily.

Lord Cao: What did I do wrong?

Li Yunjiong endured the pain and picked up a piece of bacon and ate it.

He suddenly opened his eyes wide, as if he had forgotten the pain in his feet.

It smells so good, my mouth is full of fragrance, it tastes much better than the food cooked in the imperial kitchen.

He picked up another piece of meat from the stir-fried pork with green peppers and put it in his mouth.

Ji Xiaobei: It seems that the little prince’s daily meals are not very good, he only picks up meat to eat.

Grandma Huang also had a look of heartache: This child looks quite rich, he shouldn't be eating and drinking less.

She quickly served a bowl of chicken soup and placed it in front of the young master.

"Young Master, please try this. I just killed the free-range chicken in the backyard. It's very fresh."

Li Yunjiong picked up the bowl and took a sip. It was extremely delicious and had a rich aroma.

He couldn't wait to pick up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth. It was springy, fragrant, extremely tender and not dry at all.

He drank bowl after bowl, and most of the soup in the earthenware pot was consumed by him.

He ate five corn tortillas.

He also ate up all the bacon.

Ji Xiaobei: Fortunately, I was quick and managed to eat half full.

Mrs. Huang and Lord Cao ate only a few bites and then just stayed to keep the guests company.

Li Yunjiong wiped his mouth, feeling a little embarrassed, and while Mrs. Huang was not paying attention, he put the banknote under the bowl.

Several people went to the main room to drink tea.

Li Yunjiong couldn't drink even a single sip.

Lord Cao drank a lot of water.

Ji Xiaobei sat on the side eating melon seeds and listening to the two of them chatting.

"I came to Anzhou and heard on the way that the potatoes on the west mountain had a good harvest. I heard that they should continue to plant them and harvest them when the weather gets colder?"

Li Yunjiong asked casually.

"Yes, we have a bumper harvest, with an output of 1 kilograms per mu. This has never happened since the founding of the Great Northern Dynasty!" Lord Cao answered cautiously.

"That's great. Where do the seeds come from? If we continue to sow seeds, we can plant more. There are many refugees in Anzhou. They have nothing to do anyway, so we can all go and open up wasteland and plant crops!"

Lord Cao was sweating again.

"We should plant more, but at the moment..." Lord Cao hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong? Is there any difficulty?" Li Yunjiong was puzzled.

"The varieties cultivated by our Minister of Agriculture can only be planted next year. We can't find seed blocks right now. If we plant our old seeds, I'm afraid it will just be a waste of food."

Lord Cao said helplessly.

"I heard on the way that the seeds were found by Fu Tongpan. Can't you find more?" Li Yunjiong took a sip of tea, glanced at Ji Xiaobei, and tried to pretend to chat.

Ji Xiaobei was meticulously peeling the skin of young walnuts. The skin was a bit bitter and not tasty.

Ji Xiaobei: Bah bah bah bah bah…

Spit out what you put in your mouth.

Mr. Cao: ...

Li Yunjiong was relieved. It seemed that Miss Ji was focused on food, so he spoke more confidently and boldly.

Presumably, the greedy Miss Ji couldn't hear anything.

"Well, Fu Tongpan said that he met a foreign merchant, but where can we find him now? Even if we find him, he may not have any potato seeds."

Lord Cao said.

"Master Cao, I think you can plant the potatoes you cultivated, maybe they will grow!" Ji Xiaobei said, raising his eyelids.

Lord Cao almost spit out his tea.

"Miss Ji, that won't work. I've tried everything. I still need to screen for a while. It will be about the same next spring."

Lord Cao's clothes on the back were soaked with sweat.

This Miss Ji dares to say anything!

Isn't this going to cost me my life?

"I'll go with you. You know, my family used to farm, and we specialized in growing potatoes. This is a skill my great-grandfather passed down. Why don't I help you? My great-grandfather also left behind a book on growing potatoes. It might have been left by my great-grandfather's great-grandfather!"

Lord Cao counted on his fingers.

At that time, the Great Northern Dynasty had not yet been established.

Li Yunjiong became interested: "You can really grow it!"

"Let's try it!" Ji Xiaobei spat out the walnut shell in his mouth again.

"Then give it a try. Judge Fu got the seeds by accident last time. If you can cultivate them, then our Great Northern Dynasty's food problem will be solved. Xishan is such a large place, you can plant as many as you want."

Li Yunjiong's eyes sparkled and he was very excited.

Lord Cao just wants to kill himself.

Li Yunjiong looked at Ji Xiaobei again: "If you need money, just tell me. Don't worry about it."

Ji Xiaobei stood up and shook off the walnut skins on his body.

Mrs. Huang heard it outside and was so anxious that she almost fainted.

Ji Xiaobei started bragging again. It would be fine if he just said that at home, but today he was talking to Lord Cao.

What if Lord Cao really means it?

When she heard that the young master was going to invest money, Huang Po felt that things were heading in a bad direction.

She stood at the door and looked at Ji Xiaobei, who looked confident and assured, but she didn't feel comfortable going in to stop her.

"We really need some money!" Ji Xiaobei said.

"Miss Ji, just discuss this with Lord Cao, and don't worry about anything else. I'll have someone get the silver right away!"

Li Yunjiong was very excited.

If he could solve this big problem for his father, his father would have one less worry.

Several of his brothers were busy competing to lead troops to the border to fight and help their father. He was young and could not go to the border, so he decided to solve this problem for his father.

Li Yunjiong raised his leg and walked out. Before leaving, he turned back to look at Ji Xiaobei.

Lord Cao was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground.

I was afraid that the young prince would have some weird ideas again.

He said, "Miss Ji, just now you said that your mother's cooking is better than Dr. Huang's?"

Ji Xiaobei nodded seriously.

"Next time I come, I hope to taste your mother's cooking!" Li Yunjiong smiled brightly like a little child.

Ji Xiaobei cursed in his heart: Your mother’s craftsmanship!

The prince’s mother might be a concubine or a queen. After thinking about it, he didn’t dare to curse her.

Li Yunjiong's carriage just left.

Lord Cao collapsed to the ground.

"Oh, oh, Miss Ji, you are in trouble, a huge disaster. Now no one in the court dares to talk about breeding potatoes. Whoever gets involved in this matter may lose his head."

Lord Cao looked at Mrs. Huang with a tearful voice and a look of despair.

Mrs. Huang punched him: "Look at your death, you are not as courageous as a woman. Just die, everyone will die in the end, sooner or later, it's all death, what are you afraid of!"

Lord Cao really cried. "My good days have just begun. I don't want to die!"

Huang Po lifted him up from the ground and said, "Stand up straight. If you want to die, I will die with you. Is that not okay?"
