Chapter 557 Autumn Hunting (2)_1
Looking at his master’s curiously excited expression, Guan Yu touched his forehead, finding it a bit unbearable to look straight at him, but he still held back and didn’t speak.
Mo Yan, on the other hand, couldn’t hold back and disdainfully glanced at Yan Junyu before saying expressionlessly, "That’s not grass, that’s the high-yield rice you were asking about earlier, Young Master!"
Yan Junyu: ...
He wasn’t a farmer and didn’t know that rice grains grew on rice panicles that looked like grass; he was innocent, okay?
Despite feeling somewhat choked by the disdain, it was completely negligible in front of the high-yield rice that produced a thousand catties per acre. Yan Junyu eagerly circled the pile of rice panicles, scrutinizing them and carefully querying the villagers who were selecting them. When he learned that these rice panicles were three times the length of ordinary ones and the yield per acre was estimated to be no less than a thousand catties, he felt as if he were walking on clouds; his mind was completely occupied by the phrase "thousand catties per acre."
"Haha, a thousand catties per acre! A thousand catties per acre! So there really is rice that yields a thousand catties per acre!" Yan Junyu couldn’t help but laugh out loud, his joyful demeanor infectious to Mo Yan and Guan Yu; they understood all too well what high-yield rice with a thousand catties per acre meant.
After the excitement, Yan Junyu quickly calmed down and looked at Mo Yan with more seriousness than ever before, "Are you really willing to give up such a tremendous contribution to me? If you report this in your name, The Emperor will surely reward you handsomely; it’s very likely that your father and brothers could be granted official titles and noble ranks. You should think it over carefully!" For the first time, he didn’t refer to himself as "Lord."
Mo Yan smiled lightly, "If it weren’t for the Young Master, the high-yield rice might never have had the chance to exist in this world! So, this merit, by right, belongs to you, Young Master."
