Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

Chapter 149 Potatoes "Go to Court"

Ang'er hugged his mother tightly, gritted his teeth and cried silently.

He didn't know what had happened. When he woke up, his mother became like this.

Xiao Tiequan drove the carriage to the pharmacy, carried Zhao Cuihua out of the carriage and treated her.

The doctor frowned as he looked at the patient, wondering how he could be injured like this.

After stopping the bleeding and taking the patient's pulse, the doctor shook his head and sighed.

Xiao Tiequan's legs suddenly went limp.

The doctor continued, "The injury is serious. Ginseng is needed to save his life, but ginseng is not cheap."

"Yes, doctor, just treat him and I'll pay him." Xiao Tiequan said anxiously.

It would be easy if you have money. After spending more than one hundred taels of silver on treatment, Zhao Cuihua finally woke up.

Looking at Xiao Tiequan and his father, Zhao Cuihua burst into tears.

Xiao Tiequan hurriedly comforted her, "Cuihua, are you feeling better? It's my fault."

Zhao Cuihua shook her head gently: "I'm glad you're okay. I thought you were harmed by them."

Xiao Tiequan was shocked. It turned out that Cuihua committed suicide because she thought they were murdered.

Xiao Tiequan suppressed the turbulent emotions in his heart and said with a smile: "When you get better, let's find a town to buy a house and live a good life."

Zhao Cuihua nodded with tears in her eyes, and Xiao Tiequan went out to serve the porridge.

As soon as he left, Zhao Cuihua burst into tears again. Looking at Anger who was sleeping beside her, Zhao Cuihua sighed silently.

The head of the family finally softened his heart towards me. Well, I really have to live a good life with my husband and son from now on.

While she was unconscious, she vaguely heard the robber's words, so she was so frustrated that she hit the tree in order to get rid of herself.

Since the boss has come back, I will pretend that I don’t know anything, stop asking questions, and start over.

Xiao Tiequan also sighed. Zhao Cuihua never suspected that he was the one who sold her out. No matter why, they had to put the past behind them and start over.

He bought a shop with a backyard and started working as a blacksmith again. Anger went to school. No one knew them. So let it be!

He brought in the porridge with a smile, and Zhao Cuihua responded gently. Anger rubbed his sleepy eyes and was happy to be surrounded by his parents. The two of them understood each other tacitly.

At this point, Xiao Tiequan's family completely disappeared from the lives of the villagers of Dahuaishu Village.

Back to the Xiao family, with the intimidation of Manager Ren of Baililou, no one dared to attack the Xiao family workshop for a while.

Zhao Wenqing was determined to protect Xiao Wan so as not to disappoint his two good friends.

After all, Xiao Wan's potato planting method brought benefits to the people of the world and also brought political achievements to himself.

Apart from the last time when Manager Zhou of Baililou was forcibly taken away, Zhao Wenqing felt very aggrieved.

Baili Tower is the property of the eldest prince, and he cannot confront it for the time being.

Fortunately, when Manager Zhou was rescued, his suggestion to the Crown Prince about the potato workshop was not taken seriously. The Crown Prince was only focused on the court and did not care about such vulgar and despicable things. Otherwise, Xiao Wan would be powerless.

Because Zhao Qing was actually a fifth-rank official and had come to Jiyun City on his own initiative, he could not stay there for long. The emperor relied heavily on him, so his superiors did not pay much attention to him, and Zhao Qing could also offer advice directly to the emperor.

When Zhao Qing presented Xiao Wan's potato planting method to the emperor, the emperor was extremely surprised, and the eldest prince realized belatedly what he had missed.

Isn’t this the potato planting method that Manager Zhou mentioned to him?

That's right, the place where those potatoes are grown is under Zhao Qing's jurisdiction.

When this matter was reported, it caused shock in the court. If it could really be cultivated on a large scale and had a strong satiety effect, Zhao Qing also specifically explained the various ways to cook potatoes.

Xiao Wan also gave him many potato recipes that she had written down.

The emperor was overjoyed and quickly asked the people in the imperial kitchen to prepare the dish according to the recipe. He was a good emperor who cared about the people and was considerate of them.

After a while, shredded potatoes, potato pancakes, and stewed potatoes were served. After the personal eunuch Li Fuxiang tasted them with a silver needle and ate them, they were distributed to all the officials before the emperor started eating.

Everyone has tasted it and found that potatoes are crude, but they taste very good. They are easy to grow and are not picky about the land and climate. As long as they are promoted, they will indeed be a major issue of people's livelihood!

The emperor was very satisfied with the person who could come up with the planting method and selflessly offer it.

After tasting it, all the officials echoed the emperor's words.

The eldest prince clenched his fists when he saw how much his father attached importance to potato cultivation methods.

If I had obtained it at the beginning and presented it to my father, it would have been such a great honor.

I guess my position in my father's heart is even more important.

It's too late now. This damn Shopkeeper Zhou saved him but he doesn't know how to be grateful. I should have told him more about the potatoes!

The eldest prince's face turned gloomy, but then he heard Zhao Wenqing report that the second prince passed through Yuntai Town on his way to his fiefdom, and saw that the Xiao family had nowhere to turn to, so he investigated and entrusted the matter to Zhao Wenqing, but did not take any credit for it himself.

All the officials sighed, thinking of the Second Prince who was gentle and elegant, with outstanding talents, and was qualified to be the Crown Prince, but was dragged down by his mother and had to be sent to his fiefdom.

Everyone felt that it was a pity that the current eldest prince and third prince were both useless. They had said this in their hearts countless times.

The eldest prince was furious. How could it be related to the second prince? He had been exiled, but he was still taking credit for it.

The emperor happened to see his gloomy and uncertain expression, and his face also darkened. He stared at the eldest prince and asked, "My son, are you dissatisfied?"

The eldest prince was terrified and knelt down quickly, saying that he dared not.

The emperor stopped looking at him, but sighed in his heart, what a useless person, showing his emotions so openly in front of all the officials, he is not qualified to take on such an important responsibility!
