Chapter 154: It doesn’t mean anything if you win

"Hmph, little bastard, just wait." Li Shimin snorted coldly and took a deep breath.

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"

"start!"

After the village chief gave the order, Li Shimin took the lead and squatted down.

With one cut of the sickle in his hand, he cut off a rice plant in front of him.

Zhao Chen, however, was not in a hurry. He held several rice plants together and gently swung the sickle upward, cutting the rice plants in half.

Putting it in the open space behind him, Zhao Chen continued to move forward. ??

"Brother Zhao, this speed is very good, but I have never seen this method before."

"When harvesting rice, don't we just cut it one by one? Why, Brother Zhao, always cut it in bundles."

"Besides, the sickle still cuts upwards at an angle."

"In a few breaths, Brother Zhao has already taken five or six steps. If this continues, Brother Zhao will definitely win."

"That's not true. Who is our brother Zhao? He is the most powerful person. He has never been on the ground and can still be so fast."

The villagers nearby saw Zhao Chen's skill in cutting rice and praised him one after another.

Li Shimin felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this.

When he raised his head again, he saw Zhao Chen stopped in place, looking at him.

"Why don't you leave?" Li Shimin asked in a deep voice.

"Waiting for you." Zhao Chen said.

"What are you waiting for? You are fast, just keep moving forward. If you lose, you lose. You won't default on your debt." Li Shimin said, slightly surprised.

"Your method of harvesting rice is wrong. When you are at home, don't always be pampered and learn more useful things." Zhao Chen came over and said to Li Shimin with a smile.

Li Shimin's mouth twitched.

He cuts rice in the palace every year, so how can he be so pampered?

"Look at this sickle. The edge of the sickle is tilted upward. Just lift it gently and follow the trend. Wouldn't this save a lot of effort?" Zhao Chen and Li Shimin showed how to hold the sickle.

"Have you never harvested rice before? Why do you know so much?" Li Shimin tried Zhao Chen's explanation and found it much easier.

But I was extremely confused in my heart.

Just now he

I heard clearly that Zhao Chen had never harvested rice before.

But this...

"I have never eaten pork, and I have never seen a pig running..."

"But I don't think they cut it like this." Li Shimin interrupted Zhao Chen and asked.

"Why do you have so many questions? Hurry up and go back to eat after cutting." Zhao Chen was very dissatisfied with Li Shimin's repeated questioning.

Annoyed, he turned around and walked in his own direction.

This kid!

Li Shimin smiled and shook his head, but he used the method that Zhao Chen had just taught him.

Sure enough, it was a lot easier.

The two of them finished cutting the last rice plant at the same time and sat on the ridge of the field.

"Boy Zhao, you can obviously win, but why can't you win?" Li Shimin took a breath and looked at Zhao Chen.

If he remembered correctly, this was the only time Zhao Chen failed to defeat him decisively.

"You are so old. It doesn't mean anything if you win. My aunt is still watching. If I win, you will lose face."

"After much thought, it is most appropriate not to decide the outcome." Zhao Chen explained casually, waving to Queen Changsun opposite.

Queen Changsun also smiled and waved.

"Zhao Chen, you are so kind to your aunt." A trace of envy flashed in Li Shimin's eyes.

Zhao Chen could trick him again and again.

Li Shimin also thought about when he would be able to feel proud in front of Zhao Chen.

"Auntie is the person who cares about me the most besides Uncle Fu. Unlike you, Old Li Tou, you always want something good when you come to me." Zhao Chen glanced at Old Li Tou and said dissatisfied.

Li Shimin's face darkened, and then he smiled awkwardly.

Indeed, as Zhao Chen said, most of the time when he went to Zhao Chen, he thought about Zhao Chen solving problems for him.

As for caring about Zhao Chen, that's really rare.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin just sighed in his heart.

"There is no memory of my mother in my mind. What can my aunt do?"

I sewed clothes with my own hands and cooked noodles with my own hands. These are things that I never dared to think about before. "

"In Zhao Chen's heart, his aunt is his mother."

"If it weren't for my aunt's sake, you, Old Li Tou, would have been kicked out of the tavern by me."

Zhao Chen said a few words and then looked at Li Shimin with contempt.

This made Li Shimin very dissatisfied. Why was he so unpopular with Zhao Chen?

"Then if one day you find out that all of this is actually fake, what will you do?" Li Shimin looked at Zhao Chen, his eyes a little wandering.

It seemed that he didn't dare to look into Zhao Chen's eyes. ??

"My aunt also asked me this question today. Why, are you hiding something from me?"

"No, no, how is it possible? There is no benefit in hiding anything from you." Zhao Chen's words shocked Li Shimin.

Li Shimin realized that he had talked too much today.

This was enough to make Zhao Chen suspicious.

Li Shimin was not sure what Zhao Chen's attitude would be after knowing their identities.

If he told Zhao Chen that he was the emperor now, Zhao Chen would definitely hide far away.

After all, no one likes that a friend they treat sincerely has actually been deceiving themselves.

"The rice is almost harvested. Let's go over and see if there are three thousand kilograms." Zhao Chen stood up and said to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin also nodded, and the final reveal moment was about to come.

He was still in a very excited mood.

However, even if there is no three thousand catties, it is still a great auspiciousness for Datang.

One acre can have such a rich harvest. If every acre of land in the Tang Dynasty could do this, would there still be hungry people in the Tang Dynasty?

The two walked to the opposite field ridge, and the village chief also came over, with excitement on his face.

"Brother Zhao, I have never seen so much food harvested from one acre of land."

"Brother Zhao, you are truly an immortal descended from the earth. I kowtow to Brother Zhao. Thank you, Brother Zhao."

"Thank you, Brother Zhao!"

After the village chief finished speaking, he knelt down

On the ground, Zhao Chen had not yet reacted, and the other villagers who came together also looked the same.

They all knelt down and worshiped Zhao Chen, looking at Zhao Chen with reverence.

"What are you doing, village chief? Get up quickly." Zhao Chen looked a little panicked.

This was the first time he saw so many people kneeling down for him.

I heard that if someone older than you kneels down to you, your life span will be shortened.

Now there are so many that are bigger than him, how many years will it take to fold them?

Zhao Chen couldn't help but panic.

A trace of surprise flashed across Li Shimin's face.

These people in front of me sincerely bowed to Zhao Chen.

It was completely different from the courtiers kneeling before him in the Tai Chi Hall.

Those people were just afraid of him, but these people were sincerely grateful to Zhao Chen.

In this regard, I am not as good as him!

Li Shimin thought to himself.

"Everyone, please get up. If you are like this, do you still need me to help you one by one?" Zhao Chen helped the village chief and shouted to the villagers behind him.

"Everyone, please get up. Zhao Chen is still young and does not deserve such a big gift from everyone." Empress Changsun stood and said to everyone.

Everyone stood up slowly, but their eyes were still full of respect when they looked at Zhao Chen.

"Village chief, how many kilograms of millet are there?" Zhao Chen asked.

"Brother Zhao, thanks to your blessing, it weighs a full 3,500 kilograms." The village chief's hands were shaking slightly with excitement.

Thirty-five hundred pounds.

This requires twenty acres or even more land to produce this amount.

But today, it’s just one acre of land.

"Okay! Okay! That's great. With such a high yield, no one will starve to death in the Tang Dynasty." Li Shimin stood aside, clenching his fists tightly and looking extremely excited.

Thirty-five hundred kilograms, even after a month of continuous heavy rains, there is still such a large output.

A real miracle.

"Zhao Chen, you saved the people of the world today. I salute you on behalf of the people of the world." After Li Shimin finished speaking, he took two steps back.

He bent down, cupped his fists, and saluted Zhao Chen.
