Yun Wei didn't cook any complicated dishes, just fried a hot and sour potato shreds; cut the sweet potato in half, put half in the steamer, and sliced ​​the other half into crispy sweet potato chips; The corn kernels were rubbed off, and Yun Wei asked his helpers to grind them into cornmeal.

When the shredded potatoes came out of the pan, the crispy sweet potato chips were also oily, and the unique sweet smell of sweet potatoes came out of the cage. Yun Wei poured the cornmeal soup stirred in cold water into the boiling water.It didn't take long for the hot cornmeal to be mushy.

"Okay, bring it up for His Highness to taste." Yun Wei washed his hands, leaving a mess and left without taking a leaf.

His Highness the Third Highness is a prince, and he also ate a lot of delicacies from mountains and seas. It was the first time for him to taste these things, so he tasted some of each.The sweetness of steamed sweet potatoes, the crunchiness of hot and sour potato shreds, the crispiness of fried sweet potato chips, and the mellow aroma of corn paste are all things the third prince has never tasted.

"How is it?" When Yunwei came in, the third prince had almost tasted it. "We have already grown that corn here, but I haven't seen anyone grow potatoes and sweet potatoes."

"The taste is not bad, but what's so special about these?" The third prince was very restrained in eating anything, so he put down his chopsticks after tasting it briefly.

"Of course it's special. These things are not only high-yield, but also drought-resistant, and they don't require much land... What did your Highness think of?" Yun Wei stopped.

"Northwest border?" The third prince answered tentatively.There is a lack of water all the year round. Although some people have grown corn, how can there be too much food to eat?

"That's right, these things are foods that can be used as both vegetables and meals, such as potatoes, which can be fried like this, or steamed as dry food, which is very satisfying. Another example is this sweet potato, Dried sweet potatoes can be stored for a long time, and sweet potato leaves and vines can also be eaten as vegetables, which is the most economical." Yunwei explained.

The third prince nodded while listening, "I don't know much about farming, how do I grow these things?"

"Your Highness eats both the seeds and the roots of plants."

"Such a big seed? How much does it take to plant an acre of land?" The third prince couldn't ask such a question, and it could only be asked by the relatively down-to-earth Lin Yong.

Yun Wei smiled, "Did you see the bud eyes on it? Cut the fruit into pieces, wipe the cut surface with plant ash to prevent rot, and then each bud eye can be used as a seed." Yun Wei thought for a while, "Sweet potato It can also be planted by pressing vines, and the yield is also good.”

The third prince beamed with joy when he heard the words, "Mister is a great talent, not only knowledgeable, but also good at farming!"

Yun Wei was very embarrassed by the compliment, "I'm just talking on paper, if I really want to plant His Highness, I need to find professionals."

"Yes, I will send someone to test it first." The third prince replied briskly.

"Well, it should be. It's just that the potatoes won't grow when the temperature is high. When His Highness sends someone to test, he must give instructions. The warmer the potatoes, the better." Yun Wei ordered what should be ordered, and picked up a piece of sweet potato The slices crunched and ate.

"Well, I will remember to instruct them." The third prince followed Yunwei's example and squeezed a slice of sweet potato to chew. "I've tasted it, and the business is pretty much the same. Shouldn't you tell us how you got out of danger today? Mr. Lin and I are very worried."

"Huh? Out of danger?" Yun Wei thought that the third prince would not ask, but he did not expect to ask in a hurry.Of course he couldn't expose Xiao Bai, the handsome boy, but he couldn't justify it without a reasonable explanation.Yun Wei didn't hesitate for too long, he opened his mouth and started to make up, "I have a master who gave me an amulet, but I used it when I pushed Pu Zheng away. At that time, I wanted to run fast, but I didn't pay attention to my feet , I stepped on a stone and slipped to the ground. At that time, I thought, it’s over, I’m afraid I’m going to explain here. Seeing the assassins chasing up, a ball of light suddenly burst out in the air, and then the assassins fell to the ground. I also felt dizzy, and passed out not long after. Before I passed out, I vaguely saw a beautiful woman..."

"Beauty? How beautiful?" The third prince asked enthusiastically while eating sweet potato chips.

He didn't rush to answer, but glanced at Lin Yong who was sitting on the side.

The third prince followed Yunwei's gaze and saw the expressionless Lin Yong, and hurriedly said, "I just asked casually, what do you want Mr. Lin to do?"

"I just took a look, what is Your Highness doing in such a hurry?" Yun Wei said lightly, "That beauty is a man who is more beautiful and good-looking than any fairy or goddess, dressed in white, with a fairy air."

The third prince had a longing look on his face, and he didn't even have a special reaction when he heard that the beauty was a man, but he quickly restrained his expression when he thought that Mr. Lin was sitting on the side.

Seeing the third prince's appearance, Yun Wei looked at Lin Yong again, who was still sitting upright with a blank expression on his face.Yun Wei thought of something, and asked the third prince: "Your Highness, if you are the lord of a country, and the people's livelihood in the country is declining and the population is declining, someone told you that if you marry a goddess, this situation can be changed, but you already have A lover who loves you very much, how would you choose?"

The third prince didn't think much about it, "Since I am the lord of a country, I will hold my people responsible. If my union with the goddess will make people's lives better, then I have no choice. I believe that if my lover If he really loves me, he will understand me."

"Well, Your Highness will be a good king." But it will not be a good lover.Yun Wei lowered his head and saw Lin Yong's hand on his lap clenched the hem of his clothes.

The third prince also looked at Lin Yong, hesitant to speak.The topic is here, and there is a bit of silence.Yun Wei was not as embarrassing as Lin Yong, so he continued to change the subject, "By the way, Your Highness, I have sent someone to send a message to Brother Qiu, saying that I want to go home and have a look."

"Go home?" The third prince repeated and understood Yunwei's meaning, "No, you were assassinated just today, how dare you run around? And it belongs to the King of Liaodong, although the King of Liaodong didn't clearly raise the flag of rebellion , but it’s just a matter of time, he’s just waiting for the snipe and the clam to fight, and he just wants to be the fisherman who makes a profit.”

"So, I told Brother Qiu." Yun Wei replied disapprovingly, "Brother Qiu will definitely find a way to drag the King of Liaodong into the quagmire of the melee, and then take the opportunity to kill him. Then I can go home."

"It's easy to say, but what about the assassin?" Lin Yong dismantled the stage shamelessly.

"Speaking of assassins..." Yun Wei frowned, "Those assassins are obviously targeting me today. Isn't it strange that Pu Zheng ran away to rescue soldiers and no one chased him? Their mission seems to be to kill me This item, in order to kill me, they don't care about anything."

"Why...why did they kill you?" Lin Yong couldn't figure it out.

"If it's not because of me, it's because of the people behind me, either His Highness or Brother Qiu. Killing me was either to declare war on His Highness or to disturb Brother Qiu's mind so that he can't win the battle." Yun Wei analyzed.

"It can't be because of your Highness. Your Highness doesn't take care of things in the court now, acting like an idle king, very low-key. At this time, no matter who it is, it is mainly to win him over. Even if you don't win, it is not for yourself. The truth of an enemy." Lin Yong also frowned and analyzed.After Yunwei's probing just now, he already understood that being a virtuous minister with the third prince is much happier than being a lover.So from now on, he will cut off the thoughts he shouldn't have, and be a loyal and virtuous minister in peace.

Yun Wei nodded, so the identity that he and Brother Qiu are married has been exposed.Thinking about it, there is nothing impossible. He and Brother Qiu have not covered up the journey from getting married to traveling at the border. There must be many people who know or hear about it, so it is normal for someone to want to make a fuss about him .

"Since my identity has been exposed, it is meaningless for me to stay in the capital and pretend to be the true love of the third prince. I will set off as soon as possible to meet Brother Qiu." Seeing Lin Yong's appearance, he had already cut off his love for the third prince, Yun Wei There is nothing to worry about.

"It still doesn't work, what if there are assassins on the way again?" The third prince categorically rejected Yun Wei's decision.

Yun Wei still wanted to argue, but someone came to report that the guard who followed Hu Shang had returned.The guards came back and reported what Hu Shang had done one by one, and finally said that Hu Shang's behavior was not abnormal.

"Go and explore again." It's not that Yun Wei doesn't trust the guards, but he doesn't trust Hu Shang, "He was able to come to the capital from the port of Liaodong King without incident, and he also brought the goods, saying that he would go to the port to get the rest He didn't show any embarrassment about the goods, he certainly wasn't as simple as it seemed on the surface."

As soon as the third prince heard this, he immediately ordered, "Send a few more people to watch in turn, even if you are squatting in the latrine, there must be someone outside to guard."

"You need someone to go in and have a look at the latrine where you are squatting, in case he leaves any messages in it." Lin Yong added.

Yun Wei saw that the guard's face was a little green but he soon recovered, probably thinking that he was not the only one suffering.

"Your Highness, regardless of whether there is any problem with the Hu merchant, the Prince's Mansion should not come forward in the matter of contacting the Hu merchant. The address left to the Hu merchant was Puzheng's residence in the capital. If not, let Lin Er come forward." Yunwei's proposal was approved by the third prince, so he continued, "The Hu merchant told me that these are flower seeds. Your Highness might as well continue to buy them as flower seeds. If you buy too many flower seeds, you can negotiate the price, but in the case of grain It is impossible to reduce the price of food in such a tight market.”

Yunwei's words made the third prince and Lin Yong think so. "If this Hu merchant is reliable, we can continue to purchase potatoes and sweet potatoes from overseas through him. After all, there is not too much food, and it takes time for us to grow food. But!" Yunwei raised his voice to attract the attention of the third prince...
