While eating dinner, Su Ningjie asked, "Mom, how is it? Can fruit peppers be cultivated?"
Xiao Lingyu took a sip of goat milk soup before saying, "I've already planted it in a wooden basin. Will it succeed? It depends on whether it can grow fruit peppers tomorrow."
Su Ningjie frowned slightly. Wouldn’t it be impossible for the plants to grow overnight if they were planted in a wooden basin?
"Mom, you have to plant it in our vegetable garden. Planting it in a wooden basin won't work."
Xiao Lingyu glanced at the open courtyard door and whispered, "The soil in the wooden basin is from the vegetable garden. I think we'll see results tomorrow morning. The fact that our vegetables grew overnight might have something to do with this soil."
Su Xingyi was very confused when he heard this. Even when he was not blind or disabled, he had never encountered such a miracle that vegetables could grow again overnight.
How come this soil suddenly became magical?
The eldest and second oldest brothers had told him privately that it was because God favored Xiao Lingyu that he cast a spell on the vegetable field. He accepted this statement at first.
His intuition told him that Xiao Lingyu was the one who knew magic, but he felt something was wrong.
Su Ningjie picked up a little soil and looked at it carefully. It seemed to be true. Vegetables all grow from the soil. Anyway, whatever his mother said was right.
Xiao Xier asked, "Mom, can fruit peppers be eaten directly like tomatoes?"
Xiao Lingyu couldn't be too sure. "When it grows tomorrow, we'll taste it together and see if it's as sweet as the book says."
"oh oh."
Xiao Lingyu thought that she had made up a perfect story and the child was innocent and would not find out anything fishy.
Besides, the five members of the Su family are not ordinary people. Like her, they all have secrets...
Wu Linshun inspected the three high-rise buildings. The lobby on the first floor was full of ordinary diners, but the private rooms on the second and third floors were empty.
That's strange.
Dinner is the time when Yu Lan Xuan makes the most money, but there are no guests in the private rooms in the three high-rise buildings. This is totally unreasonable.
Wu Linshun returned to the main entrance of Yulanxuan, but there was no carriage in front of the door.
Just then a familiar carriage came from a distance, and Wu Linshun walked forward to greet it with a smile.
"Master Lin, what special dishes would you like to eat tonight?"
The Lin family's master lifted the carriage curtain and glanced at Wu Linshun, "Shopkeeper Wu, do you have any magical vegetables?"
What?
Magic vegetable?
Wu Linshun smiled and said, "Master Lin, could you please tell me specifically what kind of divine dish you want? I'll ask the chef to prepare it for you."
The Lin family master shook his head and ordered the driver, "Hurry up and go eat at Yu Lan."
When Wu Linshun saw the Lin family's carriage driving away, he was stunned for a moment, then the fake smile on his face disappeared and he turned back to the lobby.
In a moment, a man who looked like a diner left Yulanxuan and went to eat in Yulan.
Liu Yun, who was not far away, curled his lips and disappeared in a breath...
A man dressed in gorgeous clothes, looking very elegant and about thirty years old, was sitting calmly in a small tea room on the third floor of Luyuan Qionglou, sipping tea.
After a moment, Yu Tao knocked on the door and entered the room.
Si Chuyu put down the teacup and said, "Shopkeeper Yu, have you found out what this divine dish is?"
Yu Tao said respectfully, "My Lord, Shi Zai Yu Lan found some rare peppers from somewhere and used them to make a variety of magical dishes. The diners who have tasted the magical dishes want to eat more."
chili?
Si Chuyu thought for a moment, "Send someone to keep an eye on Shi Zai Yu Lan. If any strangers selling food appear, follow them closely."
After Si Chuyu finished explaining things to Yu Tao, he left Luyuan Qionglou with his entourage.
When the Lu family's carriage passed by Shi Zai Yu Lan, Si Chuyu deliberately lifted the curtain to take a look. The lobby on the first floor was crowded with many diners gathered in front of the door.
Si Chuyu sniffed lightly, looked up at a window on the second floor, and after a moment told the driver to turn around and go back to the Lu family villa.
In a room in the Lu family's villa, Lu Yuan sat by the bed and gently patted Lu Yao to coax her to sleep. He withdrew his hand only after seeing that she fell asleep quietly.
"A Yuan."
Si Chuyu saw Lu Yuan standing beside Lu Yao and called out softly.
Lu Yuan slowly stood up and covered Lu Yao with a blanket, then quietly pulled Si Chuyu out of the room.
"Ayu, come with me to the dining hall. I asked the chef to prepare a few dishes today. I think you will like them."
Si Chuyu held Lu Yuan's hand, glanced at her sideways, and saw that there was something worried in her eyes.
"Ayuan, today's dinner is the medicinal meal arranged by Master Du, right?"
Lu Yuan didn't hide it and said with a smile: "It's just to recuperate. You help me manage Luyuan Qionglou and travel to various counties. It's really hard. I can't let you get tired. I want to treat you well."
Si Chuyu said, "Ayuan, I'm not tired. I know what you're thinking. Some things can't be forced. You and I are not young anymore. I don't care whether we have children or not. I only care that you are safe and sound."
Lu Yuan felt even more upset after hearing this, because it was she who failed to keep the child.
If she had rushed back to Fengyang County earlier, her mother, her brother, and her children would have been with her, and Sister Yaoer would not be in the state she is in today.
Si Chuyu continued, "If we have a child again, what will Yao'er do?"
Lu Yuan frowned slightly. Sister Yaoer really couldn't live without her.
"But, I..."
Si Chuyu leaned over and kissed her lips gently, blocking her from saying anything. After a while, he said, "You and I are not children anymore. Things in the world are unpredictable. Let's raise Sister Yao'er as our own child."
Si Chuyu thought that if she had another child, Lu Yuan would die.
"By the way, Ayuan, there's a new ingredient, chili pepper, in Xishui County."
The melancholy in Lu Yuan's eyes instantly disappeared when he heard this, and was replaced by curiosity. "What is chili? Tell me quickly."
Whenever Si Chuyu talked about business, he could see Lu Yuan's sparkling eyes.
Si Chuyu smiled gently, "Go to the dining room and let me tell you slowly."
…
After dinner.
Xiao Lingyu brought the large wooden basin containing the fruit peppers out of the bathroom, placed it on the table in the main room, and watered it with the spiritual spring water in the teapot.
She planted several colors of fruit peppers together. Looking at the large pot of soil in front of her, she knew that tomorrow it would become a large pot of fruit pepper potted plants.
At this time, Su Ning'an's voice came from outside the courtyard, "Mother, the Zhang family sent a basket of black pebbles. I checked and there are no other stones in it."
Xiao Lingyu asked, "Who sent it?"
"It's Uncle Dazhu."
Xiao Lingyu wanted to observe Zhang Dazhu carefully to see if he was worthy of being reused.
Xiao Xier came out of the room, clutching her stomach. Xiao Lingyu then ordered:
"Big brother, second brother, third brother, take the pebbles out of the basket and stack them in the corner in an orderly manner."
"Okay, mother."
Xiao Lingyu hurried to the backyard with Xiao Xier, "Xiao Xier, you have raw water in your stomach and you will get sick. You can't let your brothers know, otherwise they will worry about you."
Xiao Xier said in a baby voice: "I won't let them know. I want to be a good daughter to my mother."
