"If you don't believe me, you can take those back and try planting them.”
Lin Xuan said confidently.
Old Zhao and Young Master Shang nodded in agreement.
After saying that, Lin Xuan strolled back to the kitchen and handed a basket of sweet potatoes that he had prepared in advance to Old Zhao.
Actually, Lin Xuan had originally planned to grow it himself, but when he thought about how this thing could produce thousands of kilograms per mu, not only could he sell it for money, but it could also bring blessing to Great Qin. Therefore, after Lin Xuan saw Old Zhao and Young Master Shang, he changed his mind.
In Lin Xuan's opinion, Young Master Shang's family was deeply rooted and intertwined. Even if they could not compare to the top royal family, they were definitely stronger than ordinary merchants.
This was because a few days ago, their family's butler, Old Zhao, was able to fork out two thousand gold for a few glass cups. This was enough to prove that this family was very strong!
"If the yield of this sweet potato is more than 500 kilograms per mu, Shopkeeper Lin, your name will definitely go down in history.”
"I'm afraid that not only the people of the Qin country, but even the King of Qin will personally come to thank you.”
" Then, I'll invite you to be the Great Qin Empire's Imperial Advisor…"
Old Zhao looked at the sweet potatoes that were still muddy in the basket and boasted loudly.
However, he was interrupted by Lin Xuan.
"I've already said that I really only want to open a wine shop.”
"I don't want to be involved in the court's schemes and power games.”
Lin Xuan said unhappily.
In fact, if Ying Zheng really wanted to invite him to be the Imperial Advisor, he could consider it.
But that was half a year later.
In the next few months, Lin Xuan would not leave the tavern no matter what to become an official!
Because he didn't even know the martial arts to save his life, how was it any different from courting death to rashly get involved in the whirlpool of power in the officialdom?
Therefore, before the system activated the exchange function, Lin Xuan would definitely not leave the wine shop!
"Shopkeeper Lin doesn't even want to be the state preceptor?”
"That's the Teacher of the King, a true one in a million.”
"The position that countless people have dreamed of for a long time, Shopkeeper Lin, you actually don't fancy it?”
Old Zhao was shocked.
He felt that there were many benefits to being the Great Qin Empire's Imperial Advisor!
"Old Zhao, how many times do you want me to say it?”
"This Lin's ambition isn't in politics."
"I just want to sleep until I wake up naturally every day, then cook my favorite meal, watch my woman play the piano and dance, and finally hug her to sleep.”
Lin Xuan turned to look at Gongsun Liji, who was hiding in the kitchen, and said very comfortably.
Young Master Shang nodded thoughtfully and then gave Old Zhao a look.
After Old Zhao received the signal from Young Master Shang's eyes, he immediately hugged the basket of sweet potatoes in his arms. Then, he bid farewell to Lin Xuan and drove back to Xianyang Palace.
"Everyone pursues a different life. There are some things that don't need to be forced.”
"Moreover, if Shopkeeper Lin really becomes an official of Great Qin, he'll probably end up like you and only know how to curry favor with me.”
On the way back to the palace, Ying Zheng looked at the basket full of sweet potatoes in the carriage and reprimanded Zhao Gao.
Zhao Gao nodded, indicating that he would pay attention to propriety when talking to Lin Xuan in the future.
"If this sweet potato can really produce at least 500 kilograms per mu as Shopkeeper Lin said, then our Great Qin will no longer have to worry about the future.”
"Even if we fight a long battle and destroy Yan, Qi, and other countries, there won't be a shortage of food.”
"Shopkeeper Lin is indeed a peerless genius!”
Ying Zheng's gaze shifted to the direction of the six kingdoms in Shandong, and he could not help but praise Lin Xuan.
At first, he thought that Lin Xuan was just a chef who knew how to cook. After Cheng Jiao's betrayal, Ying Zheng discovered that Lin Xuan was a great talent with sharp eyes. Now, after taking out sweet potatoes that could produce at least 500 kilograms per mu, Ying Zheng suddenly felt that Lin Xuan was a god!
"Our Great Qin is a ferocious army, and with Shopkeeper Lin, it's like adding wings to a tiger!”
"I believe that in a few years, Your Majesty will be able to lead the elite soldiers of Great Qin to sweep across the world and unify the world!”
Zhao Gao followed Ying Zheng's words and said.
Through the potatoes, peppers, and the recent Jiao rebellion, Zhao Gao believed that Lin Xuan was not lying about the yield of sweet potatoes per mu!
Ying Zheng nodded, looking forward to this day.
……
At the same time, in the wine shop in the west of Xianyang, Qin country.
After Young Master Shang and Old Zhao left, Lin Xuan closed the shop door.
As Old Zhao had directly given him 2,000 gold a few days ago, Lin Xuan did not need to entertain other guests now.
After locking the door, only Lin Xuan and Gongsun Liji were left in the huge wine shop.
"Can this sweet potato really produce at least 500 kilograms per mu?”
Gongsun Liji looked at Lin Xuan who was walking towards her and was still in disbelief.
After feeling Lin Xuan's burning gaze, her palm seemed to have already broken out in cold sweat.
Although Lin Xuan had not done anything, an ominous feeling had already appeared in Gongsun Liji's heart!
"Words are useless. In a few months, when the sweet potatoes grow out of the ground, you will know how many catties they can produce per mu.”
Lin Xuan nodded.
Hearing this, Gongsun Liji, who had a high nose bridge, carefully replied with an 'oh'.
After Lin Xuan strode into the kitchen, Gongsun Liji nervously grabbed the hem of her dress, prepared to fight to the death with Lin Xuan at any time.
However, the strange thing was that what Gongsun Liji expected did not happen. When Lin Xuan entered the kitchen, he did not even look at her.
"Is this Shopkeeper Lin really a gentleman?”
Gongsun Liji frowned and fell into deep thought.
She quickly shook her head and denied her previous opinion.
This was because if Lin Xuan was really a gentleman, why would he let Old Zhao capture her?
"He sent people to capture me. What does he want?”
Gongsun Liji stared at Lin Xuan in confusion.
She was nervous and afraid, expectant and shy.
He was nervous that Lin Xuan would touch him next and was afraid that he was not Lin Xuan's match.
He hoped that Lin Xuan would quickly express his attitude. Was he a lecher or a gentleman? If he was shy, Lin Xuan would force him.
"What are you still standing there for? Won't you come over to help?"
Lin Xuan did not answer Gongsun Liji's question and deliberately asked with a straight face.
Although he admitted that Gongsun Liji was very beautiful, or even extremely beautiful, the tavern didn't keep idle people!
Lin Xuan liked beautiful girls, but this did not mean that he was willing to raise a vase!
"Alright."
Gongsun Liji nodded slightly and obediently walked to Lin Xuan's side to help him clean up.
Although she had lived in the General's Mansion since she was young, she was different from many young ladies who had been pampered.
Because of the stubbornness of the Great General of the State of Wei, Gongsun Liji had learned to cook and wash clothes since she could remember.
Soon, the skilled Gongsun Liji helped Lin Xuan clean up the kitchen.
"Shopkeeper Lin, I just saw a roasted sweet potato in the kitchen. Can I try…a few mouthfuls?”
The green-dressed girl, Gongsun Liji, walked out of the kitchen. When she saw Lin Xuan lying on the wooden chair in the hall, she probed softly.
In fact, when Old Zhao broke open the charred skin of the roasted sweet potato, she had wanted to taste it, but she never had the chance!
Gongsun Liji's face was as red as a crab that had just come out of the pot. She did not know if she was born like this or if she only blushed after seeing Lin Xuan.
"Sure, you can finish the remaining roasted sweet potato.”
"But before that, I need to tell you the rules of the tavern.”
"First of all, the tavern doesn't keep idle people, so after you stay in the room next to mine, you have to wash my clothes every day.”
"Secondly, I see that you have some talent in cooking, so I've decided to teach you how to cook from tonight onwards.”
"Lastly, I often feel my back ache after a busy day, so I need you to massage me occasionally for an hour.”
Lin Xuan said without hesitation.
He wasn't asking for Gongsun Liji's permission, but asking her to do it every day!
