Chapter 979 Chapter 979, You're Welcome
In the evening, a strong man came to bring food to Old Man Li, followed by a rather strong little boy.
As soon as the little boy entered the yard, he looked curiously at the rice sitting next to Old Man Li.
Daozi glanced at him and then looked away, staring at the food in the strong man's hand and rubbed his stomach which had been hungry for a long time.
The food was simple: three fist-sized boiled potatoes and two bowls of not-very-sticky corn porridge.
Old man Li didn't say anything, picked up a potato and started eating.
When Daozi saw this, he walked over without being called out, picked up a potato and started peeling it.
The strong man who delivered the food saw this and wanted to stop the rice. The three potatoes were all Mr. Li’s rations, and King Weiyuan’s son only had a bowl of corn paste.
However, when the strong man saw Old Man Li looking at him, he didn't dare to speak again.
At this time, the little boy who had followed spoke up. He walked up to Daozi and asked curiously, "Aren't you the prince's son? Can you get used to the food here?"
Daozi had almost peeled the potatoes in his hand and was about to eat them when he heard the little boy's question and frowned: "What do you mean by 'your food'? These potatoes are grown by my mother, okay? They should be my family's food, not yours."
Old man Li and the strong man were both stunned.
Yes, it seems that the potatoes and corn were brought to Xiliang by Princess Weiyuan.
Just these two kinds of food feed countless poor people in Xiliang.
After taking a few bites of potatoes, Daozi felt a little choked, so he took a sip of the corn paste. After finishing it, he curled his lips and said, "This corn paste is not tasty."
The little boy took the bowl from Daozi and took a big sip: "I think it tastes good."
Seeing only half a bowl of corn paste left, Rice was angry: "This is mine, how can you eat my food?"
The little boy curled his lips and said, "What do you mean by 'your'? My dad is the boss here, these things should be mine." After saying that, he wanted to drink the rice corn porridge.
When Daozi saw this, he quickly grabbed the bowl and ran to Old Man Li. He said angrily with a stern face, "You eat what my mother grows and bully me. You are repaying kindness with hatred."
The strong man felt a little embarrassed and quickly stopped Zhang Xiaohu: "If you are hungry, I will take you back to the front to eat."
Zhang Xiaohu was only about two years older than Daozi, and was at the age of being naughty. It was a rare opportunity for him to meet a child from outside the village, so naturally he didn't want to go back just like that.
"No, Brother Leopard, can you please bring the food over here for me? I want to eat here."
The strong man looked at Old Man Li, and seeing that he didn't say anything, he turned and left. After a while, he came back with a bowl of corn porridge and a potato.
"Here, I just drank yours, I'm giving it back to you."
Zhang Xiaohu exchanged his corn porridge for rice.
Daozi accepted it reluctantly and acquiesced that Zhang Xiaohu sat next to her.
While eating potatoes, Zhang Xiaohu asked, "Do you eat these at home?"
Daozi shook her head: "No, I eat very well at home. There are vegetables, meat, soup, rice, and fruits and cakes after the meal."
Zhang Xiaohu looked envious and swallowed his saliva: "It must be delicious, right?"
Daozi nodded quickly: "Of course, my mother's cooking is delicious."
Zhang Xiaohu sighed and said, "My life is not as good as yours. I don't usually get to eat good food."
The boss, who had just walked to the gate of the courtyard, felt a lump in his chest when he heard his son's words, unable to breathe in or out.
Daozi felt sorry for Zhang Xiaohu and said to him, "Then remember to be a good person next time. My mother said that being born again is a skill."
"If you throw well and meet great parents, the child will be very happy. If you throw badly, you will end up like you, with nothing to eat."
Zhang Xiaohu looked bewildered: "But I don't know how to reincarnate? Do you know?"
This question stumped Daozi: "I don't know either." Then he glanced at Zhang Xiaohu and said, "How about this, as long as you ask your father to let me go, I will go home and ask my mother. She will definitely know."
"By the way, if you let me go, I'll invite you to my house. We can eat delicious food and have fun. I have a big amusement park, and all the kids love to come and play with me."
Zhang Xiaohu's face was moved, then he lowered his head and said, "I'm still too young to make my father listen to me, but when I grow up, I can make him listen to me."
Daozi looked disappointed and said, "How long do we have to wait?" As he continued to chew the potato in his hand, he said, "This potato is not as delicious as the sweet potato. Potatoes have no taste, but sweet potatoes are sweet."
Zhang Xiaohu: "What is a sweet potato?"
Daozi thought for a moment and said, "My mother said that sweet potatoes, like potatoes, can feed many people. However, they are still under cultivation and it will take two years before they can be widely used."
After hearing this, Old Man Li and the strong man's expressions were a little fluctuating.
Potatoes have a good yield and are not picky about the soil, but we can't just eat them all the time. It would be great if we could have other foods to eat instead.
Even the boss outside the courtyard felt a little uncomfortable when he thought that the potatoes and corn eaten by the people in the village were all grown from the little guy's seeds.
Speaking of sweet potatoes, Daozi seemed to remember something. He quickly put down the corn paste in his hand, stood up and touched the purse around his waist.
"Ha, you're in luck! My wallet is still here. My mom made me some dried sweet potatoes to eat when I'm hungry. I actually forgot about it just now."
Daozi quickly opened his purse and took out a piece of dried sweet potato and gave it to Zhang Xiaohu. After thinking for a while, he felt that Old Man Li was not mean to him, so he also gave him one. Finally, he looked at the strong man and said,
"I don't have many dried sweet potatoes left, and I don't know how long you're going to keep me locked up. I'll give you half." After saying that, he took some effort to give half to the strong man.
The strong man looked at the half-eaten sweet potato in his hand and felt a little flattered.
Zhang Xiaohu finished the dried sweet potatoes in no time: "They are really sweet. I want to eat more."
Daozi covered her purse and said, "No, I don't have much left. If you let me go, I will take you to my home to play. You can eat as much as you want, but I have to keep the food in my purse, otherwise you will not give me food."
The boss at the gate of the courtyard saw that Daozi encouraged his silly son to let him go whenever he had the chance, so he stopped hesitating and walked in.
When Daozi saw the boss, his eyes lit up: "Are you here to let me go home?"
The boss: "."
Zhang Xiaohu quickly ran over and hugged the boss: "Dad, please let him go, he's so pitiful."
The eldest son looked at his silly son with a puzzled expression. Is Prince Weiyuan's son pitiful? Is his silly son's brain damaged?
Not bothering to pay attention to his silly son, the eldest boss looked at Daozi and said, "As long as your father is willing to release our people and promise not to attack the Five Tigers Village, I will let you go."
Daozi pouted: "Does that mean I can't go home to sleep tonight?"
Hearing this, the boss's mouth twitched uncontrollably. Before he could react, Daozi started again: "Everything you eat now was grown by my mother. You should be nice to me." Then, pointing at Zhang Xiaohu, he said, "I want to sleep with him tonight."
Zhang Xiaohu quickly smiled and nodded: "Okay, okay!"
The boss was speechless. He looked at Daozi, not knowing what to say. After a long while, he said, "You are really rude."
Daozi nodded and said, "If you catch me, you will be responsible for me."
