After half an hour's journey, the two finally arrived at Song Jinshu's official field.

The potato seedlings have grown to an inch above the ankles. When they grow to the knees, they can be dug.

"Is this crop grown by adults called potatoes? It's growing very well, and I think the yield is good too."

"Yes, you have good taste. These potatoes of mine can not only be fried as a vegetable, but can also be eaten as a staple food. They are delicious whether steamed, boiled, baked, or fried!"

Just thinking about the delicious food that can be made from potatoes, Song Jinshu was already drooling.

Potatoes are something you never get tired of eating, they can be cooked in so many different ways, and they are very filling, so they will definitely be enough to cope with this winter.

Lu Ruoyu was also looking forward to this, wondering what kind of surprise Song Jinshu would bring her this time.

The two men returned to the county town along the same route. When they arrived at the county government office, they saw a group of people coming to the gate of the county government office.

Song Jinshu glanced at Lu Ruoyu and saw that he was also confused. She put away her doubts and went forward to check the situation herself.

Some of the people here have already noticed Song Jinshu.

The man hurriedly reminded the person in charge. Lu Chuan, who was standing in the front, looked over. When he saw the two of them, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Sir Song! County Magistrate Lu! You are finally back!"

"Master Lu? Why are you here? What do you want from me?"

Song Jinshu glanced behind Lu Chuan and saw that he seemed to be going on a long journey.

As expected, Lu Chuan confessed his purpose: "Sir Song, we are going to the north today to escort the convoy. The reason we came to see you is to ask if you need anything to bring with you."

Lu Chuan's eyes were clear and he looked very sincere. Ever since he boarded Song Jinshu's boat last time, their escort agency's business has been better.

Because of his relationship with Song Jinshu, those employers trust him more and he has more repeat customers.

The thugs on the street didn't dare to attack their escort company, for fear of offending the "local tyrant" behind them.

Having received so many benefits from others, Lu Chuan felt that he had to repay Song Jinshu. However, when he came to her house to give her gifts, she refused to accept them.

After he returned, he thought about it for a long time. Lord Song did not like gold, silver, and treasures, but loved novel seeds. Therefore, every time he went out, he would deliberately look for seeds that he had never heard of and bring them back.

After he gave the seeds to Song Jinshu, the other party accepted them, so he became more convinced of Song Jinshu's preferences.

The north was desolate this time, and he was worried that he wouldn't be able to find any new seeds after going there, so he came to ask Song Jinshu.

Song Jinshu was silent for a moment, her eyes accidentally sweeping over the thick blankets that Lu Chuan and others had tied to the convoy, and her eyes lit up.

"Master Lu, I really need your help with something."

Lu Chuan couldn't hide his excitement. Lord Song finally wanted to use him!

"Master Song, please speak! We have no choice but to accept your offer!"

Although she didn't understand why the other party was so attentive to her, Song Jinshu always treated others well if they treated her well.

In the future, she will make things easier for Lu Chuan in life.

"I want you to help me find some cotton seeds! Of course, if you have ready-made cotton, please bring it back as well!"

To emphasize the importance of the matter, Song Jinshu added, "Bring back as much as you can! I'll settle the payment once you get back! Or I can give you a deposit now!"

"Okay!" Lu Chuan nodded subconsciously, but then he looked confused. When he realized what was happening, his cheeks flushed slightly, and he said awkwardly, "Sir Song, I wonder what this cotton is? Does it have a shape? And what do the petals look like?"

He has traveled all over the world, but has never heard of a flower called cotton!

Maybe it’s some precious flower!

Lord Song is indeed a scholar. His favorite flowers are unique. Unlike these rough people, he does not understand elegance.

Song Jinshu was stunned. She blinked her innocent big eyes, her heart skipped a beat, and then she realized something and felt ecstatic!

"Cotton has no fragrance. When a cotton plant matures and blooms, it's about five inches tall. Its leaves are broadly oval, and the petioles and stipules are covered with white hairs, making it look like a cocoon. It's very soft and fluffy when you pinch it..."

Song Jinshu described the appearance of cotton, and finally saw that the person opposite her still looked confused, so she simply went back to the county government office and drew a sketch of cotton.

The sketch also describes the shape and color of the cotton.

When they saw the sketch, the other two were stunned.

Lu Chuan's heart was in turmoil as he held the sketch. After so many years of wandering around, this was the first time he had seen such a painting, which was both realistic and abstract.

He felt that if he saw the cotton in the picture, he would be able to recognize it immediately!

"Master Song, please rest assured. Even if I have to search all over the north, I will find this cotton and bring it all back to you!"

Song Jinshu was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. She patted Lu Chuan on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Good boy! You are a good guy. If you help me bring back the cotton this time, you, Lu Chuan, will be my little brother from now on! No one can surpass you!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Lu Chuan couldn't stop smiling. Lord Song was making a promise to him!

So he has now gained the upper hand in front of Lord Song, right?

Then, could he walk up to her, work in the county government, and, like Cao Dutou, never have to worry about food for the rest of his life?

Although escorting makes money quickly, the risks are also high. If he unfortunately encounters an accident one day, what will happen to his family?

Working for Lord Song is not only close to home and safe, but also very respectable!

"Thank you, Lord Song, for your kindness! I will definitely fulfill my mission this time and bring back the cotton!"

The other younger brothers behind Lu Chuan looked at him with envy, and at the same time, everyone felt confused.

If their leader is promoted by the adults, what will they do in the future?

It seems that after this escort mission, we will have to find our own way out!

Oh! I really envy the boss for catching the eye of Mr. Song.

Song Jinshu and his companion escorted Lu Chuan and his companions out of the gate of Jingyang County, which moved the burly man of 1.8 meters tall opposite them to tears.

After watching them leave, Song Jinshu secretly prayed that they would have a smooth journey.

"The cotton you just mentioned is quite novel. I went to the north when I was young, but I never saw this kind of flower there..."

Lu Ruoyu raised her eyes and looked at Song Jinshu deeply, wondering where she got so much strange information.

But this time he was very surprised. In his mind, Song Jinshu was not a person who liked romance, so why did he suddenly think of growing flowers?

Song Jinshu's heart skipped a beat when he heard his words. He looked at him helplessly and sighed, "County Magistrate Lu, can't you just hope for the best for me?"

"Hmm? What do you mean, Lord Song?" Lu Ruoyu frowned and remained silent.

So what did he say wrong? Why did she look angry?
