Chapter 17 Introductions
The system was willing to accept Princess Mingyue's suggestion, but the energy required to establish a spacetime tunnel was simply too great, and it was unwilling to do so at the moment.
Therefore, it could only cruelly reject Princess Mingyue's proposal.
Lin Liuyi noticed the lively atmosphere in the group chat and quickly joined in. The first thing she was most curious about was everyone's identity.
Sure enough, she wasn't the only one curious; after she asked, everyone became curious about each other.
In response, they simply introduced themselves in the group chat.
First, Lin Liuyi set an example in the group: "Earth, online novelist Lin Liuyi."
Then Princess Mingyue followed suit, "Interstellar, Princess Mingyue of the Royal Family."
Liu Mingyue understood the method, "Liu Mingyue, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's Mansion in the Great Qian Dynasty."
Old Mrs. Liu followed silently, “Liu Mingyue, an old farmer from the Great Ning Dynasty.”
Yang Mingyue also quietly joined the ranks, "Yang Mingyue, a sent-down youth from Majiatun."
Wu Mingyue, of course, couldn't be left behind. "City A, Wu Mingyue, the superhuman."
"And one more, get rich, my system assistant." The system wanted to join in excitedly, but Lin Liuyi stopped it.
After everyone introduced themselves, it felt like the distance between them had been shortened.
Everyone was extremely curious about the world of others; it was so amazing to them that they could communicate with people from another world.
Seeing this opportunity, Old Lady Liu immediately seized the chance to ask Lin Liuyi about other things related to potatoes.
Lin Liuyi didn't disappoint her either; having a group chat was much more convenient than reading comments.
Lin Liu sent all the information he found, including recipes, to the group chat.
The others in the group didn't pay much attention to the potatoes. For Princess Mingyue of the interstellar world, potatoes had always been available. In fact, after genetic mutation, a potato was now as big as a pumpkin. She, however, had her eye on those recipes.
During Yang Mingyue's time as a sent-down youth, food and clothing were scarce, and potatoes were a staple food, so she had little interest in them.
Although Wu Mingyue is currently experiencing a zombie outbreak, it has only been a month, and she can find some supplies every day, so she doesn't place too much importance on potatoes.
Only Liu Mingyue was pondering. Based on everyone's introductions, she guessed that Old Lady Liu's world was similar to hers. Since Old Lady Liu cared so much about this potato, could it be grown in their world as well?
Thinking about this, she posted her question in the group.
Lin Liu was taken aback for a moment, then confirmed with the system and told Liu Mingyue that she was right.
Not only potatoes, but also sweet potatoes and corn should be able to be grown by them. Lin Liuyi even posted the information he found on Baidu in the group, mainly telling them about the high yield of these three things.
As everyone has already guessed, these two must be from the ancient world.
In the ancient world, agriculture was underdeveloped, and the greatest wish of the people was to have enough to eat.
Therefore, everyone chimed in with what they knew, hoping to help them, since meeting in different times and spaces is a kind of fate.
"What a pity, we have gene-enlarging agents here. Just one drop can make a potato or sweet potato gain dozens of kilograms in weight," Princess Mingyue lamented.
Princess Mingyue's words piqued everyone's interest; this was a divine elixir!
Lin Liuyi, Yang Mingyue, and Wu Mingyue should be able to guess that Princess Mingyue comes from a world with extremely advanced technology, but for Liu Mingyue and Old Lady Liu, this is a bit mysterious.
"Does such a thing really exist? Is your place a celestial realm?" Old Mrs. Liu was the first to start believing in superstition.
Liu Mingyue secretly agreed in her heart; in her opinion, only immortals could have such abilities.
"Hahaha, maybe this is the celestial realm to you. To me, it's just a technological world." Princess Mingyue was amused by Old Lady Liu.
Not getting the answer she wanted, Grandma Liu was a little disappointed; she really thought the other person was a deity.
Since that wasn't the case, Grandma Liu continued to focus on studying her potato seeds, and right now she was asking Yang Mingyue about related planting techniques.
Unfortunately, no one else in the group has ever grown this before; only Yang Mingyue, who is now working in the countryside, has some experience with it.
When Grandma Liu and the others planted it last time, they followed the instructions Lin Liuyi had found on Baidu. They encountered many problems along the way, and no one could answer them.
The first bumper potato harvest was entirely due to the fact that this crop had never been grown on the land of Liujiazhuang before.
Since they want to plant it every year, they need more experience.
Liu Mingyue was also silently taking notes. Even though she was the legitimate daughter of a marquis and had no shortage of food and clothing, she was not a pampered young lady who was unaware of the hardships of life.
Every winter when it was cold, she would help out when the Marquis's mansion distributed porridge, and she had seen how those destitute and helpless people lived.
Since there's an opportunity to make everyone's lives better, why not?
Seeing this, Lin Liuyi could only research the information on these three crops in more detail, hoping it would be helpful to them.
After obtaining detailed information, Liu Mingyue immediately sent people to find the relevant seeds.
She heard from Old Lady Liu that these things were usually passed down from foreign lands, so she instructed her men to try their best to search in that direction.
Her actions clearly did not escape the notice of the others in the mansion.
"Father, I heard that Mingyue recently sent people to the foreigners to look for something. Should we stop them?" Brother Liu asked with some concern.
"No need. His Majesty has not prohibited foreign merchants from doing business, so it won't affect anything. Mingyue is in a good mood recently, so let her be." Marquis Liu Zhou of Wu'an didn't care about this.
What's troubling him now is the intelligence he has.
It all started because Liu Mingyue suspected that she wasn't her biological daughter, so she sent someone to investigate the truth. How could such a thing be kept from Lord Liu? He also wanted to know why his wife was treating Mingyue this way. He didn't believe that Mingyue wasn't his biological daughter; he had held her in his arms when she was born.
As it turned out, the truth of the investigation directly slapped him in the face: Mingyue was not the lady's biological daughter. So whose daughter was Mingyue, and where was his biological daughter?
Before the matter was truly investigated, Lord Liu stopped Mingyue's group of investigators and temporarily concealed the truth.
At the same time, he prepared to thoroughly investigate the matter, with the biggest breakthrough being Granny Qin.
Lord Liu remembered that Granny Qin, as the lady's dowry maid, had been by her side for a long time, so she must know more about some things.
Thinking of this, he instructed his eldest son to go to the estate and bring Qin Mama back, so that he could interrogate her personally.
"Father, what did Granny Qin do wrong?" Brother Liu asked, puzzled.
