Ye Shian quickly stood up: "Mr. Wei, why are you here?"

"I just told them to pick the sweetest watermelons to send to you and Old Madam Shen."

"Haha, then I would like to thank you in advance."

Mr. Wei is a frequent visitor here, and he was not shy about it. He pulled over a small stool and sat down, not feeling that there was anything wrong with what he did. Then he remembered something and casually introduced Ye Shian.

"This is Li Er."

"This is Ye Shian."

Ye Shian: ...

Li Er, this is obviously not his real name.

Isn't this telling her that this person is Mr. Huang Sanye?

Ye Shian smiled and pulled over a small stool: "Li Er, come and sit down."

Then he picked up a piece of watermelon and said, "Li Er, come and try the watermelon I grew myself."

Judging from his noble appearance, he must at least be a royal relative, maybe even a prince. Of course, he could also be the emperor on a secret tour.

No matter which one it was, Ye Shian decided to hold on to this thigh tightly, just like he held on to Old Wei.

Old Wei took a bite of the watermelon in his hand. It was sweet, sweeter than any watermelon he had ever eaten before. He looked up to praise, but saw Ye Shian staring at Li Er.

Mr. Wei coughed heavily.

Ye Shian came back to his senses: "Mr. Wei, what did you just say?"

Mr. Wei: ...

I didn't say anything.

"Hey, Shi'an girl, your watermelon is really delicious."

"Of course it's sweet because it's a Qilin melon."

Li Er naturally wanted to try the watermelon that Mr. Wei praised so much. After just one bite, he felt much more refreshed.

This watermelon is not only juicy, but also has small and few seeds, and the flesh is bright in color and looks appetizing.

Li Er ate three pieces of watermelon in succession without saying a word before stopping.

After eating a few pieces, Mr. Wei stopped.

"Shi'an girl, what are you doing picking so many watermelons?"

Ye Shian pointed at the people working in the distance and said, "Of course, I'm giving them to them. I didn't plan to sell these watermelons. I just planted them for myself. I didn't expect there would be so many, so I'll share some with everyone so that everyone can have a taste."

Old Wei couldn't help but look at Li Er. This watermelon was much more delicious than the tribute ones. If he sold it, he would definitely make a fortune. But Ye Shian didn't even blink an eye and just distributed it to ordinary people.

"I remember that you love money very much, little girl. Why are you willing to spend it now?"

"Mr. Wei, look at what you said. I love money, but a gentleman should earn money in a proper way. I treat them well."

She would rather be stingy with herself than be harsh to those who follow her.

After finishing the watermelon, Li Hongting said, "Mr. Wei, let's go check on the wheat."

Old Wei nodded and said, "Shi'an girl, let's go and take a look at the wheat in your field."

Ye Shian called out to the people who were working, "Uncle Wang, come here."

Wang Qiang, who was not far away, heard it, put down his work and ran over. Although Wang Xuening failed to save Zi Yuan, after that incident, Ye Shian's family especially valued Wang Qiang's family.

Wang Qiang happily ran over to the group and introduced the wheat harvesting line to them: "My dears, look over here."

"After the wheat is harvested, it is placed in the sun to dry. It only takes a morning to dry. Then we can proceed to the next step, which is husking the wheat. Then we dry it here. When it is almost dry, we winnow it and put it into the warehouse."

After being harvested from the fields, they can be shelled and dried directly at the edge of the fields, which saves a lot of manpower and time.

Li Hongting bent down and picked up a handful of wheat. He didn't know much about wheat, but seeing that the wheat grains were full, he asked, "How much wheat can be harvested from one acre of field?"

"Less than 900 kilograms."

Li Hongting paused as he twisted the wheat, and his breathing quickened.

Nine hundred kilograms, almost three times the amount of ordinary grain.

He looked at Elder Wei excitedly, and Elder Wei nodded with a smile: "How...how can the grain yield be so high?"

"If the people of Dayuan grow this food, we won't have to worry about the people going hungry. Then the soldiers on the front line can also let go..."

With every word, Li Hongting's eyes brightened a little. The gentleman who was originally noble and unworldly now seemed quite popular.

"Haha, there's more than that. Come here, look over here!"

Mr. Wei has come here too many times, and he knows better than anyone what is planted in this field.

"What do you think this is?"

“Rice…”

"millet?"

"This is..." Looking at the green vines wrapped around the rack in front of him, with long and thin fruits hanging on them, he frowned.

He recognized the rice and the seedlings, but he didn't recognize the others.

As a prince, he was taught various knowledge since childhood, including agriculture, although it was impossible for them to learn farming.

He thought it was impossible that there were crops he didn't recognize, but he certainly didn't recognize the ones in front of him.

Ye Shian, who had been accompanying them, stepped forward and began to introduce: "This is called beans! This thing is very productive and delicious. Whether it is fried or boiled, it is especially delicious. Even if you can't finish it in the summer, you can boil it and dry it to eat in the winter. In short, this thing is delicious, extremely delicious."

Li Hongting stood there, the shock in his heart was beyond words. No wonder Mr. Wei had been urging him to come through letters.

Even when Mr. Wei told him before, he thought Mr. Wei was exaggerating. Now that he saw it with his own eyes, he realized that Mr. Wei was too subtle.

"Not only that, there are onions over there that are taller than people. You must have never seen them. And..."

Mr. Wei seemed like the owner of the field, proudly introducing everything here to Li Hongting.

The more Li Hongting listened, the quieter he became. He didn't understand how such a small village could suddenly have so many crops that he had never seen before.

And the doubling of production...

His eyes unconsciously fell on Ye Shian. The sun was even hotter now, and she looked no different hiding under the umbrella.

He has seen too many beauties. Judging from her appearance alone, she is not outstanding. Even in the eyes of Li Hongting, who is used to seeing beauties, she is a little ordinary. After all, there are too many women around him that he likes.

It is such a woman who can actually grow so many rare things.

This small piece of land would be surprising if you took any one of them, but she actually had so many...

Qingxue came over from the house, came to Ye Shian, and bowed to them: "Second Miss, Madam said it's hot, please come in for tea."

When Qingxue was talking, her eyes unconsciously glanced at Li Hongting. It was the first time she had seen such a handsome and noble man.

It was really hot at the moment. Ye Shian waved to Wei Lao and Li Hongting: "You two, let's go home."

Old Wei nodded. Li Hongting was of noble status and it was not appropriate to let him be exposed to the scorching sun, even though he was holding an umbrella.

After returning to the Ye residence, Ye Shian immediately went back to her room to change clothes. It was not because she was vain, but she was in the mood to help with the harvest in the morning, and her body was itchy after sweating.

After changing her clothes, she hurried downstairs. After all, it was not good to keep the guests waiting for a long time.
