Yan Yiyi certainly wouldn't tell the first story like this, she rolled her eyes and her gaze fell on the corn, she pointed at it and said with a smile: "Don't you think that each fruit on it looks like a small piece of jade?

How about corn?"

Ren Huaimin did not agree immediately. Jade was somewhat understandable. After all, the aesthetic taste of a rich lady was something that old men like them could not understand.

"It's so big, it's not appropriate to call it rice, right?"

"I think it's suitable!" Yan Yiyi said while gesturing, "We are climbing down from a plant that is taller than us, and one plant has two fruits as big as this one.

Think about it, planting a grain of rice, growing it this tall, and finally producing so many fruits, isn't it similar to rice?"

The three of them nodded. Ren Huaimin, who was the first to react, froze and looked at Yan Yiyi in surprise: "So, isn't this corn a high-yield crop?"

The other three people reacted after being reminded by him and looked at Yan Yiyi in unison.

Yan Yiyi clapped her hands as if she had suddenly realized something: "Ah! It's really true~"

The four of them immediately looked helpless. Are they finally reacting?

Yan Yiyi looked away guiltily and changed the subject: "So, this is called corn, no objection, right?"

The four of them shook their heads in unison: "No, it's a perfect fit."

After turning around, Yan Yiyi secretly let out a sigh of relief: "It's getting late, let's go and plant water spinach."

"Yes, yes, yes!" He quickly agreed.

Lord Xu came over, picked up the barrel and left.

“How many seeds of corn did you bring back?”

"There should be dozens of them, right?" Yan Yiyi said as if she didn't count them carefully.

Ren Huaimin couldn't help but speak, with pleading eyes: "Is it possible to save all the seeds?" He was really worried that she would be greedy and let A Ye make soup for her.

"Sure." Yan Yiyi laughed. If she couldn't help it, she and A Ye could cook together in the room.

The group returned to Li's house, and Xin Ye was sent by Yan Yiyi to prepare dinner, otherwise it would be dark by the time they finished.

Xin Ye did not refuse. Rather than following his wife to instruct a few old men on farming, it would be better to go to the kitchen to cook dinner and feed his wife. His wife's taste buds had been completely spoiled by him and she liked the food he cooked the most.

Xin Ye walked into the kitchen humming a discordant song with a smug look on his face. At this time, Father Li and Hua Yiming were busy in the kitchen, while the other secret guards were chopping wood, helping to pick and wash vegetables, and some were washing clothes for Hua Murong.

In short, no one is idle.

Xin Ye took over the job from Li Adie, and Li Adie went to the backyard to help grow vegetables.

"There are no paddy fields here, how can we grow water spinach?" Lord Liu looked at the green vegetable garden.

"It doesn't matter. You can try to grow dry land and some paddy fields as well. Anyway, can't you just dig a small hole and fill it with water?"

Everyone thought about it and realized that, yes, there were not many seedlings to begin with, so they really didn't need many paddy fields. There were no paddy fields here, so they would just build one. What a difficult task!

Hua Murong had been silently observing the words and actions of the adults. If Yi'er had not told him that they were agricultural officials, he really would not have been able to see any trace of being an official in them, especially since they were officials who came from the troubled capital city.

The people in front of me look like country farmers.

However, I vaguely realized something in my heart. It was just as Yi'er said. I really gained something from them.

In less than half an hour, from weeding to planting, they completed the two small plots of water spinach experimental plots.

Looking at the green seedlings, the four of them showed loving and satisfied smiles on their faces.

When the group came out after planting the vegetables, Xin Ye hadn't prepared the meal yet. After all, there were so many people and the portion was large, so it wouldn't be ready that quickly. Although the meal wasn't ready yet, he still invited them to stay and eat together, but they declined as the meal was already prepared at home and it would be a waste if they didn't eat it.

Moreover, they are all discerning people. They feel embarrassed to disturb the relatives when they meet each other, but they will not be polite in a few days. The food cooked by A Ye is really delicious.

I haven't come here for a meal for a long time, and I miss that taste.

At this time, Hua Bei led several secret guards and pulled back a cart of tables and chairs. There were more than a dozen people in the house, and the original table could not accommodate so many people. Moreover, there was a difference between master and servant, and they would not sit at the table to eat with them, so it was better to order another big table, at least they could eat more happily.

Yan Yiyi looked at the large group of people busy in the yard. When she thought that there might be more guests coming, she felt that Hua Murong’s proposal to build a manor was urgent.

Previously, after listening to Hua Yiming's suggestion, Yan Yiyi chased after Hua Murong and asked him to write another letter to stop the two brothers of the Hua family from coming. Although Hua Murong wrote the letter, he also clearly stated his thoughts.

Based on his understanding of his two younger brothers, let alone believing it, he couldn't stop them from coming even if he went back to stop them in person.

If it wasn't for the fact that she couldn't make it back during the Mid-Autumn Festival and had to stay at home to take care of matters concerning the festival, and if she had promised them that she would also leave after the Mid-Autumn Festival and was willing to stay in Shacheng for the New Year, she would definitely have come with them.

Yan Yiyi underestimated her status in the hearts of the Huahua family. This treatment was like that of a biological child, but better than that of a biological child, and sometimes even more important than that of a biological child.

"It's time to eat!" Xin Ye brought out the last pot of soup from the kitchen. After putting it down, he sat down next to Yan Yiyi. Father Li sat in the main seat, and Hua Murong sat between Yan Yiyi and Father Li.

In order to welcome Hua Murong's arrival today, Xin Ye hurriedly prepared five dishes and a soup. After all, there were more than ten people at another table, so he couldn't make too many dishes.

When Hua Murong saw that it was corn bone soup, she looked at Xin Ye in shock: "Didn't you promise those adults not to eat corn?"

Xin Ye smiled meaningfully and said, "It was my wife who agreed, not me."

The corners of Hua Murong's mouth twitched, and she suddenly felt a little sorry for those Beijing officials who were devoted to farming.

"Don't worry, brother. We already have enough corn seeds for one acre of land. Even with these few more corns, we still can't plant an acre of land. Eat them without worry." Xin Ye advised, "My father hasn't tasted them yet!"

Hua Murong swallowed her words back. Well, after tasting it herself, she couldn't just let her elders watch and work hard to grow corn without knowing what it tasted like.

Hua Murong glanced at the other dishes on the table, including the green and lush sweet potato dish with garlic. She could finally taste the sweet potato dish today.

Looking at the fish fillets emerging from the bright red soup, this is the boiled fish fillets that Yier has been dreaming of.

There was also a common dish of braised pork and smashed cucumber. He knew that this was the only dish that Yier would not cook because it did not require fire.
