Chapter 81 Sweet Potatoes
"The long drought is suitable for the rain!" This sentence is very correct to describe Yang Xiao and Gao Guiying. The two of them fought for hundreds of rounds, but they did not decide the outcome. Although Yang Xiao was injured in his right hand, it did not delay the battle at all. When the sky was about to dawn, they finally blocked their troops and stopped.
"Gui Ying!" Yang Xiao whispered while stroking Gao Guiying's sweaty skin with his hands.
Gao Guiying lay in his arms like a kitten, seemingly enjoying his touching. He heard Yang Xiao call him, then he lazily raised his head and looked at him with his phoenix eyes.
"I have something I hope to tell you to do." Yang Xiao said.
"My husband has something to say." Although Gao Guiying has never read any books, she also knows female training and knows what it means to follow her husband when she gets married. Now she is completely subdued by Yang Xiao, so of course she will obey his orders.
"In a few days, you will go to Jiangnan with Boss Shi and Lao Matou and others to find something and someone to help me find something and someone. It would be better if I could invite that person. If I can't invite it, I will find that thing for me. I believe that the thing is not worth much at all. Just buy it all." Yang Xiao ordered.
"What?" Gao Guiying asked.
"Sweet potato!" Yang Xiao replied. He has been thinking about sweet potatoes since he came to the Ming Dynasty. In the late Ming Dynasty, the Little Ice Age, if you want to solve the problem of food and clothing, the best weapon is sweet potatoes. Haven't you seen the Kangxi and Qianlong prosperous era, also known as the sweet potatoes prosperous era? If there was no such powerful weapon as sweet potatoes, how could there be this prosperous era advocated by later scholars?
Moreover, his army is still just a stream of people, and all the soldiers have no sense of belonging at all. If they have a base, things will be very different. Therefore, looking for sweet potatoes has become a top priority.
Hearing Yang Xiao's words, Gao Guiying was extremely surprised: "What is sweet potato?"
"That is a kind of food, which is circulated from abroad, so it is also called sweet potato. As for how it looks?" Yang Xiao explained, gestured with his hands. After only a long time of talking, Gao Guiying finally understood what sweet potato is.
After seeing Gao Guiying understand, Yang Xiao continued to say: "You can go to Fujian to go to Jiangnan. This person is named Chen Jinglun and often travels abroad. He brought the sweet potatoes back from Luzon. According to what I see, those who can travel abroad all year round will have little wealth at home. You can ask about Chen's family in Fujian and other places, or ask about Chen Jinglun at various ports."
"Okay!" Gao Guiying was so tired that she was sore and weak. After listening to Yang Xiao's instructions, she stretched out a jade arm and wrapped it around his chest, and then she fell into a deep dream.
At this point, Yang Xiao found that his right arm and front chest were extremely painful. After a closer look, the gauze wrapped on his right arm was soaked in blood, and the back of his chest was covered with dirty blue and blood marks.
"I really have the potential to live a life of drunkenness and dreams. Why didn't I feel this pain when I was with Gao Guiying just now?" After Yang Xiao discovered this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. He wanted to call the soldiers in to change the medicine, but when he saw that Gao Guiying was not inch, he could only endure it and hugged Gao Guiying and fell asleep deeply.
The next morning, when Yang Xiao woke up, he found that Gao Guiying had already gotten up. The wound on his body was wiped cleanly, and the medicine powder was applied, and it was carefully wrapped. Just by looking at the packaging, Yang Xiao knew that this was not the case, but Gao Guiying's technique.
"My husband, have some porridge!" Just as Yang Xiao was about to dress, Gao Guiying walked into the house with a bowl of porridge. Her face no longer had the dark color she had on her face, but with a layer of bright light.
"The power of a man is indeed infinite for women." Yang Xiao said in his heart, but did not ask a question, but nodded. He stretched out his left hand, took the porridge bowl, put it next to his mouth and took a sip.
The porridge is fragrant and sweet. Yang Xiao had no food last night. After a fight with Gao Guiying, he was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back. When he got into the stomach, he felt that the porridge tasted great, and the warmth between his chest and abdomen was quite helpful.
"My husband, let me feed you!" Gao Guiying gently wiped a millet from Yang Xiao's lips with her fingers, took the porridge bowl and said.
"It's Mrs. Luk." Yang Xiao nodded.
"You call me Mrs.?" Gao Guiying said with joy.
"You are my woman, of course my wife." Yang Xiao stretched out his hand and wrapped it around Gao Guiying's waist and said lovingly.
"Are you willing to marry a regular marriage?" Gao Guiying's body gently moved to Yang Xiao's side to make him hug more comfortable, and then asked.
"Cough!" Yang Xiao did not expect Gao Guiying to answer this question. He had never thought of this question and could only use coughing to cover up himself.
"It's my delusion. I'm just a thief and I'm not worthy of you at all." Seeing Yang Xiao's performance, Gao Guiying looked gloomy and said happily. Then he put a spoonful of porridge in a wooden spoon and gently handed it to Yang Xiao's mouth.
"Is the matchmaker a formal marriage?" Yang Xiao felt a little reluctant when he saw Gao Guiying's expression. This was not a battlefield, so he didn't need to deceive the other party anymore. So he twisted his head to the side, avoided the bowl of porridge handed over by Gao Guiying, and said bluntly: "Guiying, with my current identity, it is impossible for him to marry you as a matchmaker. But believe me, as long as I have the right opportunity, I will definitely carry you back in the eight-carrying sedan chair."
"You didn't lie to me." Gao Guiying said with great joy. Then, he immediately shook his head: "You are my husband, how could you lie to me?"
Looking at Gao Guiying's youngest daughter's behavior, Yang Xiao didn't know what to say. Maybe both of them were deceiving themselves!
After dinner, Mr. Shi came to Yang Xiao and reported to him about the results of yesterday.
"It turned out to be Zhang Xianzhong's person, and it was Li Dingguo himself!" After hearing Boss Shi's words, Yang Xiao couldn't help but ponder. However, he didn't expect that before he could solve the problem, Li Zicheng, two heavyweights, Zhang Xianzhong and Li Dingguo, came out in a blink of an eye.
"Two little thieves dare to cause trouble for adults. I have to find an opportunity to twist their heads off." Boss Shi said murderously when he saw Yang Xiao remain silent. While talking, he also peeked at Yang Xiao's expression.
"Boss Shi, don't show off your tricks. Don't you know the colorful intestines in your belly?" Yang Xiao laughed silently at the look of Boss Shi.
"It's still the adults who know what my subordinates think!" Boss Shi smirked, then licked his old face and came over: "Sir, I'm really busy with this remote place. Please let me go back to war. Can't I kill a few more bandits?"
Looking at Boss Shi's flattering face, Yang Xiao couldn't help but smile: "Is it not easy to fight a war? There will be opportunities in the future. After we finish the bandits, we have to fight the Later Jin Dynasty. I'm afraid that this war will not be completed for more than ten years, and I'm afraid you will not be willing to fight then."
"So, sir, you agree." Boss Shi was straight and had a slight slight, but he didn't hear the loneliness in Yang Xiao's words, but instead replied excitedly.
"Agree with you, a big-headed ghost." Yang Xiao smiled and cursed, then said: "You guys have been by your wife for a long time, and I have something to tell you to do."
After hearing what Yang Xiao said, Boss Shi immediately became angry.
"After doing this, I will promote you to be a sentry officer, so that you can fight every day and never finish it." Yang Xiao saw Boss Shi's mood and spoke, intending to cheer him up.
"Sir, please speak, I will fight to the death to complete the task." When Boss Shi heard this, he immediately felt energetic and answered confidently.
"Protect your wife to go to Jiangnan and then follow her arrangements." Yang Xiao ordered.
"That's so simple?" Boss Shi asked.
"That's right, it's that simple." Yang Xiao nodded.
"I guarantee to complete the task." After receiving Yang Xiao's affirmative answer, Boss Shi was so excited that his face shone brightly and he patted his chest.
