A sound like turning the pages of a book.
In fact, it is a book.
The second prince poked at the thing and after confirming that it was a dead thing, he reached out and picked it up. He flipped through it and found that the content of the book was the same as a ghost painting, so he threw the book directly to Cen Xijin.
Cen Xijin held up the candle, squinted her eyes and frowned and looked at the worn and old notebook in her hand. When the dim candlelight made clear the words on the cover, her heartbeat began to accelerate suddenly, and her whole body was filled with hot blood. It is also gradually boiling.
She couldn't understand what was written on the cover of the book at all, but she knew at a glance that it was a foreign language, and it was more Latin-based.
In other words, this imaginary world is not limited to the Dali country, and the boundaries of this world do not only extend to the Western Regions, perhaps even further.
Seeing Cen Xijin holding the old book with red eyes, the second prince became curious and hurriedly came over and asked, "What? What is written on it?"
Cen Xijin was still immersed in the joy of discovering a new continent. He did not answer, but shook his head with trembling lips.
"You can be so happy even if you don't understand anything? Weird." The second prince was confused.
Cen Xijin took a few breaths, covered his chest, and shouted excitedly outside the cellar: "Cai Xin! Cai Xin! Get a few more candles and come down to help!"
"Are you here to help us catch insects?" But after he accidentally let go of an insect, they never saw the insect shadow again.
"Look for this! Look for books! The more the better! Let's see if there are any others!" Because it was a foreign notebook found by the second prince, Cen Xijin was in a good mood. Now he looked a little more like him than usual.
The second prince stared at the manuscript that was like a heavenly book in her hand and wondered: "What's the use of this? Can it be more useful than an insect?" Why did he feel that the things he did after following Cen Xijin became less and less? How reliable?
Cen Xijin squinted his eyes and smiled like an old fox: "Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely more useful than a bug." Pleasing others and taking refuge in others is only temporary, only consolidating one's own strength will last a lifetime.
Cen Xijin values stability for a lifetime more than temporary stability.
Compared with these two out-of-stock items, Cai Xin, who has been climbing trees and stealing fruits in the village since he was a child, is so agile. Not only did he climb down from the ladder in a few seconds, but he also carried a lot of candles and two torches on his body. Zhezi.
Cen Xijin cheered, and immediately took the candle and fire sticks from her hand and lit them.
More than a dozen candles were burning together, making the cellar really bright.
The second prince and Cen Xijin squinted their eyes and exclaimed in unison, as if they had never seen the world before: "Wow, this place is really big."
Cai Xin shook her head and said to herself: "This is not big. The cellar of the landlord's house in our village is really big! It is full of food, which is much better than the empty one here!"
After talking about the cabbage sum, she stuck out her tongue in embarrassment. She also realized that the second prince's cellar was not as big as the cellar of the landlord in her hometown village. He didn't even store much food, and there were so many people up and down. , how are we going to survive the winter...
Hearing Cai Xin say this, the second prince felt vaguely unhappy, so he pointed to a few round things in the corner: "Well, isn't there food?"
"Huh?" Cen Xijin blinked after regaining his vision and walked towards the round objects in the corner. These objects seemed to be...
The purple-red skin is covered with mud and is oval in shape, about the size of an adult's palm.
"Sweet potatoes?!" How could Cen Xijin not be familiar with sweet potatoes! When she was in Siyuansi before, she was almost called Cen Hongshu by Sesame!
"It turns out there are sweet potatoes here too." Cai Xin picked one up from the ground and looked at it carefully. She had only seen it in the small kitchen of the East Palace, but had never seen it in her hometown.
Hearing this, Cen Xijin immediately asked Cai Xin.
Only then did she learn that although this sweet potato is now grown more often in palaces and imperial estates, it is still a new thing to the common people outside. Even if the seeds are spread, it is only limited to some high-ranking families and people. The wealthy businessmen and ordinary people working in the fields have never even seen this sweet potato.
Then, an idea flashed through Cen Xijin's mind. She grabbed the cabbage and asked quickly: "Then... peppers, peanuts, potatoes, corn, tobacco, pumpkins, tomatoes, and sunflowers, have you heard of these crops? ?”
Cai Xin was frightened by Cen Xijin's weird appearance. Seeing that the second prince also had doubts about her question, she had no choice but to stand there tremblingly and replied: "Sister, I, I'm just a rough guy." The little palace maid had never seen anything in the countryside before. Later, when she came to the East Palace kitchen, she learned that there were such good things as chili, peanuts and potatoes. I, I, had never heard of the rest..."
Cenxi Jinmao suddenly became enlightened.
These crops originating from the Americas were slowly spread to China after the opening of new shipping routes, and in today's fictional world, it is very likely that they will be similar to the earth she lived in in her previous life, and will have a slow spread process.
As for the crops that have been introduced to Dali, for the time being, the only ones are sweet potatoes, peanuts, potatoes, and peppers.
Others may still be spreading, or they may not have been discovered yet.
Cen Xijin gently rubbed the soil on the sweet potato skin. For some reason, a stream of heat suddenly flowed out of her eyes.
Through the palm-sized sweet potato and the rough purple skin on it, she seemed to see another world, an ancient civilization that was originally rich and powerful, but became self-contained during the period of capital accumulation after the most critical new shipping route was opened. As a result, this country gradually fell behind the people for tens of hundreds of years!
"Sister..." Cai Xin didn't dare to look at her. She looked so scary.
The second prince, on the other hand, walked up and patted Cen Xijin on the shoulder, interrupting her distant thoughts with a rough voice: "Hey, what's wrong with you! Are you still looking for the book?"
Cen Xijin wiped his tears and said with a smile: "Looking for it! Of course I have to look for it!"
After that, when he looked at the second prince, there was something more in Cen Xijin's eyes.
She couldn't change what had happened in that world, and in this world... Cen Xijin looked at the second prince who was picking his head with a stick in the cellar as if thinking, and she felt that she might have a chance to do it. Give it a try.
The second prince felt puzzled by her gaze, so when his stomach growled, he blinked his misty teary eyes and said pitifully to him: "Sister Jin, I, I'm hungry."
"..." Sure enough, the road is long and long, and I will search up and down.
Feeling the heavy responsibility, Cen Xijin's expression immediately became as serious as the dean's, "Comrade, it seems we still need to work hard!"
