Forced to be a concubine, I went to my husband's place to become a wealthy merchant

Chapter 257

Because the situation was urgent, he didn't have time to sort the seeds, so he mixed them all together and put them in a porcelain bottle.

Ye Xi smiled and said, "It's okay. I'll soak them in water first, and then plant them and see. When they grow, I'll know what they are."

Ashan was a little frustrated. He didn't have much hope for this black thing.

Suddenly he remembered something and untied the belt around his waist. This action scared Ye Xi. What was he doing?

Ah Shan looked up and saw Ye Xi's surprised look. He realized that his action was somewhat inappropriate and quickly explained:

"Don't be afraid, young lady. I am doing this because I have what you want in my belt. It is not a frivolous act."

Only then did Ye Xi restrain her expression and took the thing that Ah Shan pulled out of his belt.

There are several thin and shriveled leaf stems. What are they?

She looked at Ah Shan inquiringly.

"This is the thing in the rope story that the lady told." Ashan explained.

“I brought it back wrapped in my belt, and when I got back I was worried it would dry up and die, so I planted some in the soil and water.

Some new branches and leaves have grown, and when I heard that you were in Hangzhou, I picked a few of them and brought them here. "

It's sweet potato leaves! Sweet potatoes will grow from them in the future, which is a good thing.

Ye Xi smiled so hard that her teeth were showing, which made Ah Shan dazed for a moment.

The meeting between Ye Xi and A Shan ended here.

Ye Xi asked Ah Shan and his sister to stay for dinner together, and Ah Shan agreed without hesitation.

During dinner in the evening, Mrs. Ye and Father Ye looked at Ye Xi and A Shan, and both showed a strange expression.

After all, Ah Shan had experienced a lot of ups and downs, so he remained calm in the face of the two elders' naked scrutiny.

Ye Xi kept winking at her parents, asking them not to go too far.

But they ignored her and continued to do as they pleased, so Ye Xi decided not to entertain guests at home anymore.

After Ah Shan left, Ye Xi began to fiddle with her black seeds.

She soaked it in water first, and then prepared a lot of flower pots.

She didn't know what kind of plants these seeds belonged to, so she could only plant one seed in each pot and see what crops would grow.

He also asked someone to prepare pen and ink, wrote Arabic numerals on the flower pots as numbers, and used a small notebook to record the growth of the seeds in each pot.

She spent two or three days tinkering with this, and it wasn't all of the seeds that she didn't recognize.

At least she recognized the kernel of corn, but she wasn't sure if it could grow.

She is still considering whether to delay her trip. If these crops can grow, she can bring the seeds with her for a trial planting.

She overestimated the growth rate of the plants, and before she left, she still couldn't get the results she wanted.

In the end, we could only set off on time, but that’s a story for later.

Ye Xi had been busy for more than half a month but had not appeared near Pei Zhu, and Pei Zhu began to feel uneasy again.

He wondered if Ye Xi really didn't care about him anymore. The gazes that were surrounding him suddenly disappeared without a trace.

The gap between being valued and then being ignored made him more and more anxious.

He even blamed Ye Xi for provoking him and then ignoring him.

Ye Xi had no idea that Pei Zhu had regarded her as a "heartless mother", and Pei Zhu was not in a very good mood.

She had finally taken care of the seeds and was ready to "sneak a peek" at Pei Zhu, but she saw Pei Zhu's ugly face.

She was also feeling depressed. Pei Zhu rarely showed this expression. What happened during the time she was away?
