Chapter 273: Popular
"Haha...Brother Yan, the book is for reading. If you really want to pay homage, go and make an incense burner to worship. What are you doing standing in front of my mother?"
Mrs. Li was holding a handful of dried pumpkin seeds and eating them. She came over, moved a small horse to sit next to Baiyun Xi, and took out a handful of melon seeds from her pocket.
"Mom, you want to eat it too, it's dried in the sun, it's so fragrant."
Mrs. Li put the pumpkin seeds into her mother-in-law's hands and looked up at Bai Anyan with an embarrassed look on her face.
"It's not like there's a shortage of benches. Sit down and read slowly. Are you really prepared to read such a thick book standing up?"
"Second brother, what precious book did mother give you? Let me see it too?"
Bai Anyi leaned over and nodded clearly when he read the words in Shennong's manual.
"Second brother, study hard. It depends on you whether our family can produce high grain yields.
Bai Yunxi watched her second child being teased by several people one after another. She held back her laughter and pointed at the little horse that Mrs. Li had moved for him.
"Sit down and watch slowly, don't rush for a moment."
Bai Anyan looked at the book in his hand, smiled coquettishly, and sat on the ponytail obediently, "Mom, do you know where dad got this book? Could it be borrowed?"
Listening to the second child's question, Bai Yunxi frowned.
"It's not borrowed. This book was obtained by your father accidentally. Besides, your father's character will not borrow agricultural books from others. So, just keep it safely and study it slowly, waiting for you when If you read this book thoroughly, you will definitely become a master of farming.”
After listening to his mother's suggestion, Bai Anyan thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. Apart from his interest in imperial examination books, his father really didn't know how to borrow them from others.
"Don't worry, Mom, I will study hard and take care of our family's land."
"Second brother, show me." At some point, Xiao Wu was standing in front of Bai Anyan, looking at him holding the book like a treasure and extending his hand.
Bai Anyan looked at Xiao Wu and handed the book over, "Here, be careful, don't break it."
Xiaowu's face trembled, and he confirmed again that what his mother said was right. He had different preferences and cared about different things. It was the first time that he saw his second brother caring so much about a book. It was really surprising.
He took the book and flipped through a few pages. After seeing the contents recorded in it, he looked solemn and returned the book to him.
"Second brother, this book mainly explains agricultural planting. It covers a wide range and covers almost all crops. Just read it for yourself. Don't let outsiders know. No matter how good our friendship is, it won't work."
Bai Anyan nodded,
"I know, this is our family's treasure. It will be passed down from generation to generation as a family heirloom. Outsiders naturally have no right to look at it."
"Second brother, what I am saying is more serious than you think. This Shennong Manual is equivalent to a farming manual. If people know about it, they will definitely be remembered. If someone becomes greedy, with our current strength, we can basically protect Don’t stop, you understand what I mean?”
As soon as Xiaowu said this, Baiyunxi was stunned. He just wanted his second child to learn scientific farming and forgot about this incident.
"An Yan, Xiaowu was right to remind you, it was my mother who was negligent."
Bai Yunxi said, looking directly at everyone in the family,
"You all have to keep the Shennong planting manual at home a secret and don't mention it to anyone, otherwise it will easily lead to trouble."
This kind of thing was redeemed by her. It is the only one in the world. It is equivalent to a martial arts secret book. Anyone who knows it will definitely rush to snatch it.
