Chapter 222 You Casanova (4)_1
"Sweet potatoes!?" Pei Qin’s mouth twitched.
"Don’t underestimate these sweet potatoes. I bought them from a businessman who had been to a foreign country. They call them ’foreign potatoes.’ At this time, no Han people have grown them, so I bought some. I only ate three pieces and couldn’t bear to eat any more. I brought the rest to you!" Shen Songming exclaimed, "You should grow these ’foreign potatoes’ from their shoots. Don’t plant corn this year, just plant all sweet potatoes instead! Once this crop takes off and gets popular, your family could submit a petition and might even earn some kind of reward from it!"
"...Our family doesn’t have any land," Pei Qin said in a heavy voice.
Shen Songming opened his mouth, astonished. The formidable Pei Qin, reduced to this after transmigration!? Could it be that she committed too many evils in her past life and was punished by the heavens to suffer here!? What kind of despicable thing had he done in his previous life that led him to encounter this female tyrant!? He had been living far away, yet here he was, eagerly coming to find her.
He felt a deep concern for his future life.
Shen Songming somewhat reluctantly took out a few silver notes, looked at the denominations, and handed them to her, "Take these to buy some land for now. Don’t worry about getting the best land, since sweet potatoes are cheap and easy to grow."
Pei Yuan and Pei Qian had never seen silver notes before. Seeing him actually hand several notes over to their eldest sister, they watched, puzzled and wide-eyed.
"Take it! Once I’ve made ice and sold it, we can deduct it from your share of the profits," Shen Songming said as he pushed the notes toward her again, "Don’t be so formal with me!"
