The servant of Ying, the god of the Red Chamber, only loves farming

Jia Zheng patted Baoyu on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Things are not as simple as you imagined. You are still young and there are many things that you should not know, and you don't need to know. Just do what you want to do and what you want to do." You don't have to worry about the rest. But there is only one thing you must promise your father."

Jia Zheng looked at Baoyu seriously and said, "You must follow Wei father closely, for your safety." Jia Zheng's big palm fell on Baoyu's head, giving Baoyu a great sense of security.

Baoyu didn't understand why Jia Zheng had so many worries, but he nodded and replied, "I will obey my father in everything, my child." It was a pity for the three of them to travel along the way, and Kang Shizhong didn't even go to the invitation at night, so he used it hastily. After dinner, he took a break.

In the early morning of the second day, Kang Shizhong specially came to the post station to pick up a few people to the arranged venue.The meeting place for this exchange sounds magnificent, but it is actually a table set up on the open space and simply arranged; it is so beautiful that the people in Ping'an Prefecture must appreciate it.

Baoyu and his party took their seats, and so did the representatives sent by the Haijiang people on the opposite side.Baoyu was also curious. Although he lived with the people from Haijiang yesterday, he had never seen the three people from Haijiang on the opposite side yesterday.

Baoyu is also full of curiosity about the sea, not knowing what the sea looks like.

And what kind of plants grow in this sea area.

Over the years, Haijiang has been in constant conflict with our dynasty, and even the first emperor once cut off trade with the people of Haijiang; it was also here for a year or two that the tense line between the two places eased a bit.

Baoyu knows very little about the affairs of Haijiang, and this planting exchange meeting is now a formal opportunity for Baoyu to learn about Haijiang.Baoyu has a strong interest in this planting conference.

The Haijiang representatives chatted with each other after they sat down, and their eyes glanced at Baoyu inadvertently a few times.The representative of the sea area is an old man and two young people, a man and a woman.Seeing that people from both sides had almost arrived, Kang Shizhong stood up with a smile and said, "This meeting can be said to be the beginning of friendly exchanges between our friends from Chaozhou and Haijiang since the unblocking of the border areas. This is a symbol of This peace."

Kang Shizhong saw that the people watching the excitement in the audience were waiting impatiently, and continued, "Okay, let's not talk about the scene, let's have an exchange meeting quickly. The rule of this exchange meeting is that both parties will show the rare things they have prepared. Plants are the content of the competition, and the other party will explain the relevant planting experience. Although it is an exchange meeting, it will be a bit dry if it is just an explanation; the audience in the audience, is this official right?"

The people under the stage came here for the excitement, so they naturally responded.Kang Shizhong was very satisfied with the answer, and went on to say, "I am a guest from afar, and I will be polite when I come here. Then let's invite friends from Haijiang to start first." Kang Shizhong returned to his seat and smiled at Jia Zheng and his party. Smiling, Jia Zheng and Zhou Wei gritted their teeth with gloomy faces.

This Kang Shizhong is really nothing!

Looking at the calm faces of the three Haijiang representatives opposite, if Jia Zheng couldn't see that this was a trick set up by Kang Shizhong and the people from Haijiang, then the officials for these years would be in vain.It's just that Kang Shizhong and others didn't say anything about the hateful thing that needed to prepare plants; when they came, they had nothing to do, let alone any preparations.

Even now I can't find it.

Although Zhou Wei didn't like Jia Zheng and Baoyu very much, it was a matter of the country's face at this time; Zhou Wei was also a little worried about Baoyu, so he pulled Raja Zheng's sleeves in private and whispered: "Brother Jia, just stay here and watch; Go out and search. See if you can find some plants for emergencies."

Zhou Wei's expression was true, Jia Zheng nodded, now this is the only way, and said: "Thank you, brother Zhou, you go and come back soon." Zhou Wei nodded and got up to separate, when Baoyu held Zhou Wei Whispered a few words in Zhou Wei's ear.Zhou Wei was overjoyed and said: "Okay! I'll do it right away." After speaking, he changed his clothes and left quickly.

Kang Shizhong didn't let anyone stop him, Kang Shizhong was sure; where could Zhou Wei find the plants in a short time?

Except for trees and weeds, I'm afraid there are no plants that Zhou Wei can find.Kang Shizhong raised the corners of his mouth, and his eyes fell on the stage.I saw that the young woman Haijiang sent up first was the young woman with a bamboo basket on her back.

The woman from Haijiang walked in the center of the booth and said, "My name is Hua Ling. I will show you the plants unique to Haijiang in the first round." Hua Ling proudly took out a pot of seedlings from the bamboo basket.The seedling looked no different from ordinary saplings, Hua Ling smiled and said: "Hua Ling has heard for a long time that Master Baoyu of Gui Dynasty has a lot of experience in planting, here Hua Ling has a small request." Hua Ling looked provocatively Looking at Baoyu, "Why don't you ask Master Baoyu to guess what kind of tree this sapling is?"

When Jia Zheng heard this, he also became nervous.The flower spirit deliberately made things difficult for them as soon as it came up.

Hua Ling, on the other hand, looked confidently at the two teammates behind her, and then looked at Jia Zheng and Baoyu proudly.Baoyu stared at the sapling for a while, then lowered his head in frustration.Seeing this, Hua Ling felt even more annoyed that Baoyu couldn't guess the sapling she had brought.

The pot of seedlings that Hua Ling placed on the exhibition table is not nearby, it is a unique plant in Haijiang.

This plant is unique in that once it leaves the sea, it is very difficult to survive. Only the sea has a unique and suitable environment to plant this tree; not to mention the fruit that the saplings will bear after they grow into trees. mouth.

This fruit is also an important part of the coastal economy and trade.

Hua Ling came to the stage to show this plant this time, just to frustrate the opponent's spirit.

Hua Ling firmly said in her heart, they will definitely win this game!

Hua Ling saw that Baoyu hadn't spoken for a long time, and said with a smile: "Why? Could it be that Master Baoyu didn't recognize the sapling, so he didn't dare to come down to fight?" Hua Ling's words excited the people in the audience to stare at her with blazing eyes. .

There were more voices in the crowd.

"Master Baoyu, this girl is rampant, you should get off quickly and let her know how powerful she is."

"Yo, a child is a child. If you know some cat urine, you can call yourself a master. Go home and drink milk as soon as possible, so don't make people laugh at you here."

"It's really embarrassing to me."

...

These words, either encouraging or unpleasant, fell into Jia Zheng's ears one by one, and Jia Zheng was angry and distressed; Baoyu, who was sitting beside Jia Zheng, bowed his head and remained silent.

Jia Zheng said comfortingly, "Baoyu, don't take these words to heart, they are all nonsense. Baoyu can do what he wants, and daddy is here!" Jia Zheng's big palm fell on Baoyu's head and comforted him, Jia Zheng turned his body sideways to block the figures of those people with dirty mouths.Jia Zheng glanced at Kang Shizhong, those people were probably arranged by Kang Shizhong.

Seeing that the people who didn't know the reason started to complain under the influence of these people, Jia Zheng wanted to take off Kang Shizhong and tear off his disguise.

But, now is not the best time.

He has to be patient and wait until the most suitable time comes.

It's just that Baoyu is going to suffer.

Baoyu got up and went to the booth.Hua Ling kindly stepped aside to let Baoyu observe the seedling.

Hua Ling was ready at this time, and if Baoyu couldn't answer, she would take the opportunity to mock her.

"It's a coconut tree." Baoyu said flatly.

Although the seedling has not yet grown, the shape of the leaves is relatively easy to judge.

Furthermore, in Baoyu's eyes, the little seedling introduced herself to Baoyu very lively.

Xiaohua said that she couldn't tell outsiders that Baoyu could understand plants, Baoyu was good, but Baoyu didn't say anything; Baoyu was thinking in her heart.

Hua Ling was terrified, how could Baoyu know? !

Hua Ling was lucky, maybe Baoyu was talking nonsense; "Are you sure? If you guess wrong, you can't go back on your word." Hua Ling said in a coaxing tone.

Baoyu was very dissatisfied with Hualing's tone of comparing him to a three-year-old child, and said angrily: "It's the coconut tree. The coconut fruit that grows from the coconut tree looks like a ball with a black and hard shell on the outside. .Remove the coconut shell inside, the coconut juice inside is sweet and can be used to make sugar.”

Baoyu said that the flower spirit was stunned for a while, so can coconut milk make sugar?If what Baoyu said is true, then they...

Too reckless.

Hua Ling thought of the juice that they poured out, and Hua Ling had already filled several bags of sucrose in his head.

The sugar in Haijiang is obtained through trade. If this coconut milk can really make sugar, then everyone in Haijiang will be able to afford sugar.

But the premise... must be that Baoyu is telling the truth.Hua Ling doubted: "You can guess that this sapling is a coconut tree, I'm afraid it's a fluke or..." Hua Ling glanced at Kang Shizhong, "Or someone told you in advance, it's not sure."

Kang Shizhong glanced at Hua Ling coldly, Hua Ling was not afraid of Kang Shizhong, and said bluntly: "Show me the evidence and convince me."

Baoyu took out a small cloth bag from the armhole, and the first time Hua Ling saw it, her heart raised her throat and stared at the cloth bag.

Is he going to come up with the coconut sugar recipe?

Hua Ling licked her dry lips, if it's true... then it's not a waste of effort.

Hua Ling seems to be able to see the sight of the people in Haijiang making coconut sugar.But what Baoyu took out made Hua Ling's imagination burst like a bubble.

In Baoyu's hand was a square thing wrapped in oil paper; Baoyu put the thing in Hualing's hand and said, "Eat, eat and watch." Baoyu's face was very indifferent, but Hualing was still keen. Feel a trace of reluctance from Baoyu's expression.

Hua Ling felt very uncomfortable.A small thing that I don't know what it is, is this Jia Baoyu like this?

Hua Ling is a little disgusted, she had a little high opinion of Baoyu just now, but now her kung fu has dissipated.

But Baoyu was placed in her hands, and a circle of people sitting under the stands were all staring at her; Hua Ling uncovered the oil paper, revealing a small square, which was light brown in color, with white silk sticking on the outside. The grains look quite attractive.

Hua Ling held the small cube under her nose and sniffed it, her eyes brightened; it smells like coconuts! !
