Pei Ju had spared no effort in pushing for the attack on Goguryeo, but now that His Majesty had decided not to fight, he couldn't help but feel disappointed.
"Assistant Minister Pei, there is one more thing that Zhen wants you to do.”
As he said that, Yang Guang asked to protect his son and handed the seed that Ye Fan gave to Pei Ju.
"Go check these seeds and see how long they're growing and how much they produce.”
"Yes, Your Majesty…"
Pei Ju didn't dare to defy the decree and immediately took a few bags of seeds and left obediently.
……
At the same time, Ye Fan used the 20 taels of silver that he had given to protect his son last time to renovate the shop. With money, he naturally should upgrade the shop.
Therefore, all the furnishings in the shop had been changed. The tables, chairs, and benches were all replaced with the latest ones.
As for the remaining 60 taels of gold, Ye Fan temporarily saved them. He planned to save up to 100 taels of gold for an intermediate lottery draw.
During the renovation period, Ye Fan also cleared an empty space in the backyard and planted a batch of peppers and tomatoes.
In this era, there was no chili, so Ye Fan wanted to make many southern cuisines, such as Sichuan and Hunan cuisines, but it was difficult to have that taste.
According to the product introduction in the system store, this chili was a kind of morning pepper, which happened to be what Ye Fan needed very much.
In the past few days, Yang Guang had been busy with the matter of canceling the conquest of Goguryeo, so he had no time to come.
On the seventh day, Pei Ju rushed into the palace and reported to the emperor with a pale face.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the seeds you gave me have really been harvested. The tomatoes, peppers, and peas have all matured and are edible.”
"And the taste is not bad." Pei Ju said in surprise.”
"Really?"
Yang Guang paused in his reading and asked in shock.
"Your Majesty, how dare I lie? It's absolutely true!”
Pei Ju said excitedly.
"What about potatoes and wheat?"
Yang Guang also knew that Pei Ju did not dare to lie, so he quickly asked curiously. He was extremely surprised in his heart.
"Although the potatoes and wheat haven't matured yet, they have already grown. Moreover, looking at the growth, it will only take at most a month for these two to mature!”
After hearing Pei Ju's words, Yang Guang's heart was instantly shocked. He immediately lost the mood to read the memorial. He quickly stood up and said excitedly,"Lead me to take a look!"
"Yes!"
Pei Ju didn't dare to be negligent and quickly started to lead the way for Yang Guang.
Pei Ju's experiment was conducted in a barren farm outside Luoyang City. He had specially hired a farmer to take care of these seeds.
Initially, Pei Ju did not pay much attention to these seeds. He thought that they were just some new varieties of vegetables and did not think too much about it.
However, on the second day after they were planted, the growth of these seeds was abnormally fierce. After they sprouted, they soared all the way.
In just seven days, three varieties of vegetables had matured and borne fruit!
Pei Ju was so scared that he almost peed his pants. He thought that the heavens had appeared and hurriedly rushed to Purple Myrtle City to report to Yang Guang.
After Pei Ju left the city, Yang Guang could not calm down for a long time when he saw the crops with his own eyes.
Wasn't this too miraculous?
Ye Fan actually did not lie or exaggerate at all. He said seven days was seven days. Could this person be a god?
Since ancient times, wheat had taken at least half a year to mature and harvest. When had they ever seen wheat seeds that could be harvested in a month?
Although Yang Guang had never farmed before, he still knew some basic common sense.
Although Yang Guang had never heard of the other vegetables before, the speed of harvesting was also ridiculously fast!
"Can this thing be eaten?"
Yang Guang bent down to pick a big and fat tomato and asked curiously.
"You can eat it, Your Majesty. This thing is sour and sweet, and it's especially delicious!”
Yang Guang took a bite out of curiosity, and his eyes widened in shock!
Delicious, too damn delicious!
This thing was indeed sour and sweet. Moreover, the sourness and sweetness were very moderate. It was not too sour or too sweet. In short, it was very comfortable to eat. It was simply the best in the world!
As Yang Guang ate, he instructed Pei Ju,"Assistant Minister Pei, pluck a batch of these fruits and send them to the palace. Let the imperial chefs think of a way to make a dish.”
"Yes!"
Pei Ju replied respectfully.
Then, Yang Guang looked at another row of bright red fruits. He couldn't help but walk over curiously and pluck one. Without saying anything, he stuffed it into his mouth.
"Your Majesty, that can't be…"
Pei Ju's expression changed drastically. However, before he could finish his sentence, Yang Guang's expression changed instantly. He spat out everything in his mouth crazily, forgetting about the spiciness.
"Damned Pei Ju, why didn't you say so earlier?!!”
Pei Ju was so frightened that he trembled and quickly knelt down. Your Majesty, I deserve to die, I deserve to die…I didn't have time to remind Your Majesty…"
"Water, water…"
Yang Guang was jumping around on the spot. He did not have any imperial dignity at all. He looked very funny.
……
At this moment, Ye Fan had just picked a batch of ripe millet peppers and was making chopped pepper sauce.
When Yang Guang arrived, Ye Fan had just finished making a small pot of chopped peppers.
"Old Yang is here?"
Ye Fan chuckled.
Looking at Old Yang's hurried expression, Ye Fan knew that he must have been frightened by the crop seeds he gave him.
In fact, not to mention Old Yang, even Ye Fan himself was shocked. It grew too fast. Ye Fan had not even reacted when it had already matured.
"Brother Ye, you're really amazing. I planted the seeds you gave me personally and they bore fruit in seven days. The wheat and potatoes are also about to mature. How many more are there?"
Yang Guang's face was filled with shock and excitement.
If such seeds could really be planted on a large scale, what was there to worry about? Great Sui had nothing else but a lot of land. If they were to plant all of it, the grain harvested in a year would probably be enough for the people of the country to eat for several years!
"Haha, is there a need to be so excited?”
Ye Fan laughed." There's no hurry to talk about this. I'll cook a few dishes for you. You'll definitely like them."”
As he spoke, Ye Fan carried the basin into the kitchen and asked the waiter to serve Old Yang and Old Lai.
Ye Fan was busy in the kitchen while Yang Guang and Lai Hu 'er were outside, wanting to talk about the cooperation with Ye Fan.
