Chapter 552 I have been afraid of officials since I was a child
Guoguo, Zhengzheng and Anan, three little kids, haven't seen Heita for a long time, so they pull Heita to play the game of "Eagle Catches Chicken".
Heita chuckled and said, "I'll play with you guys when I'm done with my work!"
The three kids were running around the box, but Guoguo didn't feel satisfied, so she simply climbed up the alley, holding a cucumber longer than her arm in her hand, and gave orders.
Ji Xiaobei shouted at her: "Guoguo, come down, don't you look like a girl?"
Mrs. Lin pouted and said, "Don't you see who her mother is..."
Ji Xiaobei: It’s so damn difficult to educate children when there are elderly people around!
She threw the cucumbers on the stove and went to see what was in the box.
Open any one, fabric!
The second box, fabric.
The third box, fabric!
The fourth box, fabric!
……
All six large boxes were opened, all filled with fabric.
Ji Xiaobei roared, "Heita, does your master have a pig brain?"
Heita didn't understand what was going on, so he ran away, holding a kid in each hand and carrying another on his shoulder.
Mrs. Lin came over and took a look at them one by one:
Humph! It's a bit of a pig brain.
Where can I get six big boxes of fabric for free?
You can wear them till you die and never finish them!
Although I thought this in my heart, I said something else out loud.
"I sent you something and you got scolded. I think what Xiaoyaozi sent was pretty good. It's a very practical thing, much better than those messy and useless things!"
Mrs. Lin picked up the cucumber that Ji Xiaobei had thrown away from the stove, wiped it on her apron, and took it into the house.
Ji Xiaobei looked at the six large boxes of cloth and felt worried because he had no place to put them.
She strode out, wanting Heita to help her put the cloth into Fu Jichang's yard.
Black Tower was busy as a mother hen, with a big black face full of smiles...
Ji Xiaobei: Forget it, let’s spare the hard-working mother hen.
……
The potatoes on Xishan and Anlianshan have been almost dug up.
The yield per mu really reached 1,000 kilograms.
People from the surrounding government offices came to learn from him.
He said he was here to seek Buddhist scriptures, but in fact he was here to ask for potato seeds.
"President Fu, please bring some more potato seeds. We can buy them with silver..."
"President Fu, please think of a solution. If we can get some seeds, we can plant more and have some food for the winter. You can't just stand by and watch us die..."
"Prefectural Magistrate, can these newly harvested potatoes be used as seed?"
Several people from the government office surrounded Fu Jichang and asked him to plant a piece of land.
Fu Jichang was overwhelmed.
"Everyone, please go back first. Freshly dug potatoes cannot be used as seeds. The Minister of Agriculture is trying to find a solution. Lord Cao said there must be a way."
Fu Jichang said helplessly.
"What can the people of the Minister of Agriculture do? When you mentioned planting potatoes, the people of the Minister of Agriculture were the first to jump out and oppose it!"
Someone immediately refuted.
Later, Fu Jichang had to stay indoors and refuse to receive any visitors.
The emperor also knew that the potatoes had a good harvest.
He happily asked Eunuch Afu to invite Fu Jichang to the palace.
Fu Jichang: Oh, whatever you fear will come true!
He could only say that he had caught a cold and it was unlucky to meet the emperor. After he recovered in a few days, he would go to the capital to meet the emperor.
Eunuch Afu listened to Fu Jichang's hoarse voice.
I could only nod and leave.
Fu Jichang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
One day, Mrs. Huang was counting eggs in the yard when a carriage came to the door.
She went out with two eggs in her hands.
Wow!
This carriage is so luxurious.
Her eyes were wide open.
A pair of brand new black boots got out of the car, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Old Man Cao.
He was wearing an official uniform and an official hat, looking very majestic.
Mrs. Huang was so frightened that she trembled and the egg in her hand fell to the ground.
She is most afraid of officials.
She had never seen Old Man Cao wearing official uniform.
This is the first time I've seen it.
"Doctor Huang, what's wrong with you?" Lord Cao hurried forward to support the staggering Mrs. Huang.
"Mr. Cao... Sir!"
Huang Po trembled and spoke.
"Doctor Huang, are you feeling unwell?" Lord Cao asked hurriedly.
"No, I feel comfortable..."
Huang Po forced a smile and invited Lord Cao into the yard.
"Ah, Doctor Huang, so many eggs?"
"Yes, ah, they are..." Grandma Huang pointed to the chickens walking on the ground.
Lord Cao didn't pay attention to his feet and stepped on chicken poop.
Mrs. Huang: Ouch, these black boots are ruined!
"Master Cao, why are you here?" Huang Po asked hurriedly, pretending not to see him stepping on chicken shit.
"My chest has been itchy these past few days. It hurts when I scratch it. I want you to take another look!"
Old Man Cao looked down at the dirt on his feet.
Huang Po hurriedly kicked Lian Feng's pair of shoes to him.
Lord Cao took off his black boots and official hat and placed them on the table.
Only then did Mrs. Huang feel less stressed.
Lord Cao lay on the bed and undressed, and only then did Mrs. Huang completely relax.
The skinned Lord Cao is just Old Man Cao.
Grandma Huang took a look and pressed it a few more times with her hands: "Master Cao, it's fine. The wound is almost healed and it will be a little itchy. Just bear with it for a while..."
Lord Cao smiled awkwardly and said, "It's good that you're alright!"
Lord Cao put on his clothes and sat on the chair with a righteous look on his face.
Mrs. Huang didn't want to stay in the house for even a minute.
Lord Cao was puzzled because the two of them used to have a very pleasant conversation. They could talk for half an hour about the crops on the ground, the birds in the sky, and even the chickens in the backyard.
"Doctor Huang, what's wrong with you?" Lord Cao asked in confusion.
Huang Po gritted her teeth and said, "Master Cao, I have been afraid of officials since I was a child. You..."
Mrs. Huang pointed at Lord Cao's clothes with her eyelids drooping.
Lord Cao laughed out loud: "So that's why!"
There was a half-worn piece of clothing from Lord Cao hanging behind the door. He tore it off and put it on. Only then did Huang Po dare to sit cross-legged on the bed.
Restored to previous relaxed state.
"Doctor Huang, when will your pharmacy open?" asked Lord Cao.
He had heard that Prince Yongding had a broken sternum and was cured by Doctor Huang. It would be a pity if such a miraculous doctor did not open a pharmacy to treat patients.
"I, wait a little longer, I haven't made up my mind yet!" Huang Po waved her hand and said, "Actually, it's fine for me to set up a stall in the Nanjiao Market to treat patients. There's no need to open a pharmacy."
In fact, Ji Xiaobei has said this many times.
Being able to cure diseases and save lives can be considered as her contribution to the Great Northern Dynasty.
"Old Cao, I heard the potato harvest was good?" asked Mrs. Huang.
Old man Cao is worried about this matter.
"The harvest is good. We can actually plant another crop, but the ability of the Minister of Agriculture is limited and we haven't cultivated a new variety yet. Now the people are calling for the court to plant another crop. When people from the surrounding government offices heard about it, they came over to ask for potato seeds."
Old man Cao said helplessly.
Huang Po knew that the potato seeds from last time were related to Ji Xiaobei.
