The patriarch became a little impatient when he saw what Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Wang wanted to say.

"Okay, Mrs. Cai (Mrs. Xu), put away your petty thoughts. We are not blind and can see what Mr. Xu is doing to you. We won't tolerate your nonsense.

And haven't you already separated your family? Didn't you agree that you would no longer be involved in Xu Laoer's family affairs? What kind of trouble are you going to make today?

Now, Mr. Sheng is studying in the school. You all should calm down and see how I deal with you if you cause any trouble." The patriarch stared at Mrs. Xu and Mr. Wang sternly and warned in a deep voice.

The Xu clan has been born with poor legs for generations, and few of them are willing to spend money to send their children to school. The clan has never been able to produce a capable person who can lead the clan to higher places. As the clan leader, he is worried.

!

Now I finally have a child who is praised very much by my husband, so he will not tolerate people who make trouble for him no matter what.

When Father Xu saw that the patriarch was angry, he no longer allowed his wife to go to Jian Yi and the others to ask for money. He hurriedly pulled Mrs. Xu, who was frightened by the patriarch's eyes, sneered a few times, and retreated with them.

Seeing that the people who were looking for trouble were all gone, Xu's father and Xu's mother slowly exhaled and let go of the worries they had been holding on to.

Jian Yan looked at them like this, feeling distressed and helpless.

Every time they travel through time and accept the memory of the original owner, they also more or less accept the original owner's feelings for their parents and relatives, so seeing them like this, Jian Jian's mood won't be that good.

Alas, I can only do what the original owner wished and try my best to protect them and let them live a good life.

After Mrs. Xu and the others left, the clan leader had been quietly paying attention to Jian Yi's expression, so he could see the distress in Jian Yi's eyes just now very clearly.

This little kid is sensible and filial, and he is also independent and can stand up. Not bad.

It seems that Xu Laoer's family is about to get up.

Ever since the villagers knew that Jian Yi had made money by figuring out the pastry recipe, people often came to ask for the recipe, but after Jian Yi sold them all, the shopkeeper did not allow them to reveal the recipe anymore.

Sent out.

The year passed slowly by simply doing hunting, farming, and gathering grain.

During this period, two crops of potatoes had been harvested up the mountain, and the yield was gratifying. Xu Xiaodi's performance in school became increasingly outstanding, and his father and son also valued him very much, saying that he could give it a try.

Xu Xiaojiao and the people from Dafang would occasionally come over to make trouble and ask for favors, but most of them were simply rebuffed, or the clan leader would be invited. Gradually, Dafang felt that he could no longer get benefits from the second house, so he reduced the number of visits.

The September sun shines so warmly on the earth that the stones in the afternoon can be used for barbecue. There has not been a drop of rain in the sky for several months.

According to the elders in the village, there is going to be a severe drought, so we need to sell food quickly. Jian Jian followed suit and bought some to fill up the scene.

At this time, people from the big house also came to the door to complain about poverty and wanted to sell grain to them simply.

Jian Yili ignored it and slammed the door directly.

After the third batch of potatoes was grown, before the end of the line was reached, Xu's father was simply asked to carry a basket on his back and go to the county town to find the county magistrate.

The county magistrate, who was discussing matters with the county magistrate in the study, was very angry when he heard from his subordinates that villagers came to offer treasures.

He comes from a noble family, and being able to become a county magistrate here is purely for experience, so he has no shortage of money and treasures.

Moreover, he prided himself on being a good official and never took away people's wealth and favors. When he suddenly heard someone coming to offer treasures, he felt very complicated.

Seeing that the county magistrate didn't reply, the servant asked again.

The county magistrate glanced at the excited county magistrate and master, and had no choice but to let them in.

After Jian Yi took Xu's father and the servant to the side hall, he followed the servant's instructions and waited in his seat An Xin.

In the past, Xu's father would be nervous and speechless when he saw a pastry shop owner. In the past two years, under the leadership of Jian Yi, he had seen a lot of the world, gained some knowledge, and gained a lot of courage. Now he sees the county magistrate.

He is no longer as restrained as he was a year ago.

After bowing down to the county magistrate, Jian Jian went straight to the topic without any nonsense.

Hey, in the evil old society, every time you meet an official, you have to kneel down once. Whose knees can bear this?

"Are you serious? Is this thing really capable of producing a thousand catties per acre?" The county magistrate was so excited that his voice rose a little higher, and his eyes were eagerly staring at the potatoes in the basket.

"Sir, yes. This thing was discovered by a girl who went up to the mountain to dig wild vegetables. She thought it was just a weed.

In an accident, a folk girl accidentally dug out the fruit growing underground while digging wild vegetables. The folk girl saw the fruit was big and round, so she became a little curious. At that time, the folk girl caught a pheasant, so she gave it to the pheasant.

After feeding some, I saw that the pheasants were fine and the food was not poisonous, so I took some home and boiled some in water.

After tasting it, I learned that it was delicious, dense, fragrant, and filling, so I thought I would plant more of it. Since my family only had two acres of land and nowhere to plant it, I asked my father to plant some on the uphill flat land.

When the first harvest was received, the village girl was surprised at the high yield of this plant, so she paid more attention to its growth trajectory during the second planting, and it turned out that the yield of this plant was indeed huge."

When they met the county magistrate, they still had some questions, so Jian Jian just asked them to see for themselves. The left and right batches were specially left for them to dig out by themselves.

"At present, the third batch of potatoes has grown. You may wish to go and check it out with the girl."

Seeing potatoes dug out of the ground with your own eyes, you can’t fake it.

The county magistrate and the county seat tried the simple food made from potatoes one by one, and they couldn't help but become more interested in potatoes.

After eating what they had in hand, following simple instructions and asking the servants to bring farm tools, the group headed to the hillside where potatoes were grown.

Originally, according to the rules, the county magistrate should be taken to the village chief's house first, and then the village chief entertained the county magistrate. However, the county magistrate was too anxious, so Jian Jian could only lead them to the back-up path that he often walked.

.

Therefore, I didn't see any other villagers along the way.

In fact, this is also the best result simply thought of.

After all, providing fresh food at a time like this is a great reward. The fewer people know about it, the greater the reward they can get.

If the village chief and others find out, more people will share the cake.

Maybe after more than a year of simple work, planting seeds, working hard to open up wasteland, and working hard to cultivate, in the end I can only get a few rewards like other people who have not contributed anything?

This is not simply what you want.

Of course, Jian Jian had already learned about the county magistrate's origins and personality when he was about to take out a potato and throw stones at him.

It was because the county magistrate was a good one that Jian Yi had this idea. If he met a dog official, Jian Yi would definitely go hunting, do small business, and farm, and would not dare to cause such a big thing.

I'm afraid that if I don't get the credit by then, the dog officer will take the credit away from me, and I'll lose my life and harm the mission goal.

After arriving at the place, the county magistrate couldn't wait to order people to carefully dig the potatoes with their hands. During this period, Xu's father wanted to tell the county magistrate that it would be faster to just use a hoe, but he was stopped by Jian Yi.

Although Xu's father is now more courageous, he is still an honest farmer at heart. He doesn't have so many twists and turns in his mind, and he is not very good at reading people's faces. Therefore, Xu Jianyi often takes care of this when talking to others.

Father, lest he offend noble people with his words.

It's not that Jian Yi dislikes Xu's father, on the contrary, Xu's father is a very good father to Jian Yi.

In this ancient world where imperial power was supreme, it was necessary to be careful when speaking and to look at other people's faces in front of the magistrate who could decide their life or death.
