The sky is misty and the spring rain is like silk.

Rong Xi carried a bamboo basket to Gao Bai's home.

"Master, this thing is a potato. It can satisfy your hunger, and it can also be used to cook delicious food." He flipped the potatoes in the basket and said with a smile, "I have described the cooking method in detail on paper, and you can leave it to the cook."

He was so filial, Gao Bai felt very comforted, and gave him a few more treasured books.

After the potatoes are boiled, they are soft, glutinous and sweet, which is just suitable for the elderly to swallow.

After the two chatted for a while, Rong Xi said goodbye and went home.

In the past few days, he has taught Mrs. Jiang several methods of cooking potatoes, so Jinshixuan became famous again.

The common people in Mengshan know potatoes.

Previously, some wealthy businessmen followed Hu Yulin's example and bought potatoes and corn, and imitated Rong Xi, planting potatoes in the ground, and then they did not devote their attention to it.

Potatoes are popular nowadays, but because of the small quantity, it is hard to find a plate.Rich merchants found business opportunities, sold potatoes at high prices, and made money. They all regretted not planting more because they were timid.

Of course, there is still corn after the potatoes.

Rich businessmen and others are gearing up, planning to follow Rong Xi after planting corn.

Potatoes can be used as food, and they are more resistant to storage. After Mengshan became famous, merchants from all over the country became a favorite.

After Rong Xi returned home, Rong Mo quietly appeared in front of him.

"Third brother, have you finished reading the new book?"

Rong Sanlang kept silent, and turned the pages of the book again, and there was a piece of manuscript paper clipped in the book, on which were all his doubts.

The two went to the study room, and after Rong Xi explained patiently, he gave him another calculation problem.

"It's good to be keen on studying, but you also need to go out of the house to strengthen your body and play with your children."

There are several old trees behind the house, and the children often play on simple swings made of thick ropes and sacks.

Rong Sanlang worked hard on the calculation problem, bowed his head and remained silent.

A few days ago, Rong Xi asked, but he has not found the answer yet, and his heart feels like an ant biting him, making him extremely uncomfortable.

After Rong Lian and Liang Siwen "tortured" Ma'er for a day, they gave up their pursuit, but Rong Mo couldn't help it.

He wanted to know the answer.

Rong Xi knew he wanted to ask, but pretended not to know.

If Rong Mo has been studying hard, unwilling to communicate with others, and not to overcome the ups and downs in his heart, no matter how talented he is, he will not be able to reach the peak.

The study was silent.

Rong Xi was writing textbooks at his desk, but Rong Mo hung his head and remained silent.

After a while, Rong Mo finally moved.

He raised his head slowly, opened his lips slightly, "Ah..."

His voice was too hoarse, and as soon as he uttered a syllable, he fell silent.

Rong Xi suddenly showed his face, bent his eyes and said: "What's the problem with the third brother, you might as well tell me."

Rong Mo moved his lips again, but he didn't make a sound. He got up abruptly, without paying attention to saluting, he ran straight out of the study, and the corner of his clothes disappeared outside the door.

Seeing him running away in a panic, Rong Xi sighed deeply in his heart.

After a while, Liu He walked slowly to the door and knocked lightly on the door.

"Lang Jun, you can't start a fire with cold food tomorrow. You need to prepare more cold food today. Why do you like cold food?"

Cold Food Festival?

Rong Xi got up and went to the door, and asked: "What cold food did you and Zishi prepare in the past?"

"Eggs, cold pastry."

Rong Xi laughed and said, "Then it will be the same as in previous years."

Liu He was about to leave, when Rong Xi said, "Go find Zhang Zhilai, I have something to ask him."

Not long after, Zhang Zhi came to Rong's house, and after seeing Rong Xi, he said beamingly: "Mr. Rong, the seedlings have been planted, and they will be harvested in autumn."

Rong Xi nodded and said with a smile, "Thanks for your hard work."

"If you have orders, Mr. Lang, please inform the villain." Zhang Zhi said respectfully.

Rong Xi led him to the warehouse and handed him a small bag of corn seeds.

"This is a grain seed. You plant it in the remaining idle fields. I will explain the method of planting it to you later."

Mengshan's current climate is suitable for corn planting.

When Zhang Zhi heard that it was a grain seed, his expression froze, he carefully took the bag, held it in his arms, and listened carefully to the planting method.

Rong Xi explained to him in detail every growth stage such as sowing, emergence, three-leaf, seven-leaf, and jointing.

Zhang Zhi is familiar with farming. Although he has never planted corn, he understands the truth. After writing it down, he sincerely said: "The villain is determined to plant well, and he will live up to your entrustment!"

After telling the story of the corn, Rong Xi said again: "Now that the seedlings are planted, they need to be fertilized to strengthen their growth. I will send someone to bring new fertilizer to your home later. You apply the fertilizer to the seedlings according to the fertilization method."

At the seedling stage, crops absorb phosphorus the fastest. If phosphorus is deficient at the seedling stage, it will inevitably affect the growth in the later stage. Fertilization is the best now.

Although Zhang Zhi didn't know what Xinfei was, in his eyes, Rong Xi was like a god, so naturally he was what he said.

Fertilization is very particular, after Rong Xi explained it to him in detail, Zhang Zhi took the order and left.

In fact, Rong Xi shouldn't know about farming at all, but he participated in a breeding research in his previous life, learned the relevant farming theory, and it was clearly imprinted in his mind, so it just happens to be useful now.

Nothing happened in the house, so he took out the slush and went straight to the workshop.

Outside the workshop, heavily guarded.

When the guards saw Rong Xi, they all set up their halberds to salute, and opened the door to let him go.After he passed through, the gate of the workshop was closed again, making it extremely difficult for ordinary people to enter.

When he went to the public office of the prison, he changed into a narrow-sleeved long shirt and a sackcloth, and went to the underground secret room.

Qin Ke was polishing stone bullets inside, his cuffs were rolled up to the crook of his arms, his forearm had distinct texture, and the lines were extremely beautiful.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, he looked up, and under the candlelight in the room, he looked even more handsome.

"Lanzhi, the iron workshop has already made the body of the gun." His expression remained unchanged, but his eyes were brighter than candlelight. "The fire gun you said may come true."

The workshop is equipped with all kinds of craftsmen such as blacksmiths and carpenters, and there are various kilns.

"I'll see."

Rong Xi approached and saw Qin Ke take something from the shelf.

The thing was cylindrical and extremely slender.It is divided into three sections: the barrel, the medicine chamber and the tail.

This is a pistol used by individual soldiers. It has a small caliber and a light body. The fire and powder are hidden in the medicine room. When the gun and powder are ignited, stone or iron bullets can be fired.The shooting range is calculated according to the standards of later generations, and should be within 200 meters and [-] meters.

Although it seems simple, it is quite difficult for craftsmen to try it for the first time.The finished product is nothing more than the product of many failures.

"Try?" Rong Xi asked with a smile.

Before the construction of the basement, Rong Xi specially marked a section on the drawing for use as a shooting room.

Qin Ke readily agreed.

The two went to the shooting room side by side, and a straw target was set up [-] meters away.

Gunpowder and stone bullets were all put into the barrel, Rong Xi raised his arm to aim at the bull's-eye, and tried it out.

Qin Ke stretched out his hand to press his shoulder, his eyes softened, "I'll try first."

Using the firecracker for the first time, Qin Ke was afraid that his craftsmanship would be insufficient and he would accidentally injure him, so he took the firecracker from Rong Xi's hand.

Knowing that he couldn't compete with him, Rong Xi took a few steps back.

Qin Ke ignited the match, and the fire entered the medicine room, causing the medicine powder to burn rapidly, pushing the stone bullet out quickly, and breaking through the grass target in the blink of an eye.

Although the usage is rather cumbersome, if you can form a battalion of firecrackers, it will definitely play a key role on the battlefield.

"Not bad." Rong Xi praised with a smile.

Although Qin Ke's archery skills are good, firecrackers are new after all. He can shoot through straw targets when he first gets started, which shows his talent.

After being praised by him, Qin Ke's eyebrows were extremely soft, and he handed the firecracker to Rong Xi, "Come here."

Rong Xi had never touched a gun before, and it was his first time trying firearms, so he was quite excited.

He reloaded the powder, lit the match, and the stone bullets flew out with a whistling sound, and there was only a sound of impact, but the straw target was not damaged at all.

The accuracy was too poor, Rong Xi laughed at himself.

However, this kind of simple firecracker is really inconvenient to use, Rong Xi is a little disappointed, but the craftsmanship of the craftsman is so good, now he can only make do with it, and it can be used as a change in the battlefield.

As for more sophisticated firearms, it will not be too late to remake them after the craftsmen are skilled.

The two tried several times respectively before resting.

After returning home, Liu Zishi came to lead the horse and handed Rong Xi a letter.

"Mr. Hu, Mr. Hu asked the servant to hand it over to you."

Rong Xi took it, went to the study, and was about to open the letter, when he saw someone who was following him all the time, he paused slightly while opening the letter.

"You want to watch it together?"

Although Qin Ke thought in his heart, he couldn't do anything wrong on the surface, so he found a chair and sat down, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

Rong Xi snickered, and after showing his faith, he leaned into Qin Ke's ear and said, "Brother Xuanshi invited me to have a Qingming outing."

"Traveling?" Qin Ke said blankly, "Are you going?"

It's just an outing, just let Liu Zishi pass a word, why send a letter?

Rong Xi replied with a smile: "My best friend is so kind, how can I refuse?"

There was a sudden silence in the room.

After a long while, Qin Ke raised his head and asked, "You are with friends, what should I do?"

His expression was quite aggrieved.

If an ordinary man pretends to be like this, it will definitely make people feel uncomfortable, but the Great Wei God of War is so beautiful, even though he pretends to be pitiful, Rong Xi can't bear to tease him anymore.

He immediately bowed his head and kissed Qin Ke's left cheek. Seeing that he was dissatisfied, he kissed him again on the right cheek, and comforted him: "It's my fault, brother Xuanshi invited you and me, I was lying to you just now."

After finishing speaking, he handed the letter to him.

Qin Ke glanced at it casually, and saw that he and Rong Xi were indeed invited in the letter, he settled down a little, and a smile appeared between his brows and eyes.

"I'd be worried if you went to the appointment alone."

He was explaining what he had just done.

Rong Xi laughed and fell on him, "Qin Sizhi, don't worry, I won't drink anymore."

"You drank twice, both with Hu Yulin."

He had to suspect that Hu Yulin would spoil Rong Lanzhi again.Moreover, why did Hu Yulin send a letter to Rong Xi, but invited them to go with him?This move is not in line with etiquette.

It's clear and bright in a blink of an eye.

Rong Xi, along with Rong Lian and Rong Mo, got up early to visit the grave, and then rode with Qin Ke to the Yishui River outside Mengshan City.

This river flows through Yizhou, Qingzhou and other places. As for why it is called "Yishui", few people know.

Scattered flowers are charming eyes, Asakusa has no horseshoes.

When the two arrived, there were already three people on the shore, namely Hu Yulin, Jiang Weiping, and Duan Changjin.

Several people greeted each other, because of Qin Ke's high status, Hu, Jiang, and Duan were a little cautious.

After a while, there was a burst of laughter and laughter, like the song of a warbler and a bird, which was very pleasant.

The pretty ladies, wearing curtains on their heads, were gathering together, peeking at Rong Xi and the other five frequently.

To be precise, he was spying on Qin Ke.

Qin Ke remained expressionless and walked side by side with Rong Xi.

"Prince, Dalang," Hu Yulin narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a smile, "The kettle has been sent out of Qingzhou, and it will be profitable soon. How will the profit be handed over to the prison?"

Rong Xi looked at Qin Ke.

Qin Ke replied: "I will send a special person to supervise this matter, and Hu Shaodong can rest assured."

The five of them walked casually along the river bank, chatting for a while, when they suddenly heard the cry of a boy not far away.

Rong Xi's eyes showed curiosity and worry, Qin Ke glanced at him, and said decisively: "Go and have a look."

When he got closer, he saw several boys sitting on the ground wiping their tears, Rong Xi asked softly, "What happened? Why are you crying?"

A boy sobbed and replied: "The paper kite, the paper kite fell on the tree."

Several people looked up and saw a bright paper kite stuck between the branches, it was difficult to pull it down.

Although the tree is not tall, it is difficult for ordinary people to reach out, let alone a short boy?

Before Rong Xi could make a sound, he saw Qin Ke reaching under the tree and stretching out his hand to grab a branch. He didn't know how to use the force, but he lifted up lightly and easily picked up the kite.

He has an elegant figure and a magnificent appearance, and he is very clean and neat when picking up the paper kite, causing everyone to admire him, and the boy forgot to sob and was stunned on the ground.

Rong Xiyang smiled slightly, his eyes were gentle and proud.

Hu Yulin saw it from the side, his eyebrows moved slightly, and suddenly he leaned into Rong Xi's ear, and asked in a low voice.

"Dalang, do you have any interest in Prince Qin?"

The author has something to say:

Interview Hu Shaodong.

Microphone: Why invite two people, but only write to Rong Xiaoxi?

Hu Shaodong: (with a look of naturalness) Isn't it incidental to invite friends to the appointment and call family members?Need another invitation?

Someone Qin: (laughs) This is very polite.

PS: I have a headache today, I’m not feeling well, so I wrote [-] words, sorry.

Fire gun (chòng): a firearm, the ancestor of the gun.

Tail (qióng): gun handle.
