"Good, delicious. What's this thing called again? It tastes really good and very sweet!"
Niu Jinda held a sweet potato in his hand and ate it while talking non-stop.
Cheng Sanfu, who was standing beside him, did the same.
" Hmph, you only know how to eat. You don't even know what you're eating. Remember, don't embarrass yourself when you go out in the future. This is called a sweet potato," Cheng Sanfu said.
" Yes, yes, yes. Sweet potatoes. I didn't expect this unassuming thing to taste so good. It can even fill my stomach. Good stuff," Niu Jinda said hurriedly.
"Brother Mu Chen, where did this sweet potato come from? Why have we never seen this thing before?”
Compared to Cheng Sanfu and Niu Jinda, the real smart person was Cheng Chuliang.
Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chuliang were different. The eldest brother, Cheng Chumo, had completely inherited Cheng Sanfu's style.
The second son, Cheng Chuliang, was the complete opposite. He looked like a pale-faced scholar. He spoke politely and was quite resourceful.
When Mu Chen was talking to Cheng Sanfu and Niu Jinda, the two brothers had not spoken at all.
Now that he was talking, he went straight to the key point.
That's right, where did this sweet potato come from?
At this time, sweet potatoes had yet to arrive in the Great Tang. Moreover, this place was situated in the desert and was frequently attacked by Turkic barbarians. The villagers had long since run out of food.
However, Mu Chen had taken out so many sweet potatoes in one go. If one thought about it carefully, it was indeed not bad.
However, before this, Mu Chen had already thought of a countermeasure.
In his memory, the original owner of his body was not really a good-for-nothing who only knew how to stay in bed all day long.
To be precise, he was very interested in the plants in the various fields.
When he was very young, although his body was still very weak, it was not as serious as this.
In his memories, he would often bring his sister Mu Xi 'er to help out in the fields not far away. He would also often find some strange plants to study and taste.
Because of this, Mu Chen's original owner was beaten up by his parents.
These memories were still fresh in Mu Chen's mind.
"Hehe, General Cheng, you might not believe me, but I'm born with a keen sense of all kinds of plants and like to study them. Perhaps it's because we're in the desert and can't grow crops like in the Central Plains, but there are still many tenacious plants growing in the desert, just like the sweet potato in front of us. The magical thing about this sweet potato was that it was not like other crops, where the fruit grew on the surface!”
"The sweet potatoes in your hands are actually dug out from the ground, so I named them sweet potatoes."
Mu Chen said in one breath. He had already thought of these reasons.
However, Mu Chen wasn't sure if the sweet potatoes could grow normally in this barren desert.
"That's right. I remember that my brother used to like to go to the fields to look for those strange plants. I didn't expect that he would really find these sweet potatoes.”Mu Xi 'er exclaimed in surprise.
Mu Chen smiled and secretly gave his sister a thumbs up. She was simply a perfect helper.
In this way, Cheng Sanfu and Niu Jinda would no longer suspect anything.
As expected, after hearing Mu Chen and Mu Xi 'er's words, Cheng Sanfu, Niu Jinda, Cheng Chuliang, and the others completely believed them.
"I see. However, Brother Mu Chen, since this sweet potato grows in the desert, can it be transplanted to our Central Plains?”
"Yes, yes, yes. Brother Mu Chen, this sweet potato is a good thing, and it tastes good. If we can plant it in the heart of our Great Tang, the soldiers and civilians of our Great Tang will not starve!”Niu Jinda also nodded.
Hearing this, Mu Chen smiled and nodded."If nothing goes wrong, I don't think there should be any problems. I just said that the growth ability of this sweet potato is very strong and can be applied anywhere. Moreover, I've also studied it.”
"Oh? If that's the case, I'll definitely remember this when I report to His Majesty. I believe that His Majesty will be overjoyed when he knows this news!”Cheng Sanfu said with a smile.
"Hahaha, Brother Mu Chen, you're simply a monster. Not only are you capable, but you're also so capable? You can even discover something as good as sweet potatoes. From today onwards, I, Niu Jinda, will be convinced by you!”Niu Jinda said with a big laugh.
Then, he threw the sweet potatoes into the basket, stood up, and said,"Come, come, come. Take advantage of today. Brother Mu Chen, if you don't mind, you can become sworn brothers with me. In the future, if I, Niu Jinda, have a mouthful of food to eat, you won't be spared."
"Ah?"
Hearing this, Mu Chen's expression changed. Mu Xi 'er also exclaimed and secretly covered her mouth as she laughed.
Niu Jinda was already in his forties, while Mu Chen was only fourteen or fifteen years old.
Two people with such a huge age difference were going to become sworn brothers here. If word got out, wouldn't they become a joke?
Since when did the fearless Niu Jinda want to hug a child's thigh?
Of course, this was all because Mu Chen's face was now stained with blood.
It was impossible to tell his exact age or how old he was.
Otherwise, Old Cow would definitely blush because of what he had just said.
"General Niu, let's talk about becoming sworn brothers later!" Mu Chen smiled awkwardly.”
"What's wrong, Brother Mu Chen? Don't tell me you don't like me?”Niu Jinda was a straightforward person. When he heard this, he was immediately a little unhappy.
"Of course not. I'll go wash up first. It's not too late to talk about it later!”
Without waiting for Niu Jinda to speak, Mu Chen turned around and walked out.
Hearing this, although Niu Jinda was still a little unhappy, he still nodded reluctantly and sat down again.
Not too long later, after Mu Chen cleared his mind and changed into a set of clothes, he returned.
Everyone in the room, except for Mu Xi 'er, was stunned.
After a long time, someone said this.
"What a handsome young man!"
