Once one person asked the question, others quickly followed suit.
Tian Guoguo answered them, "Peanut butter!"
It's a sauce made from peanuts.
However, everyone was puzzled. What was a "peanut"?
Peanuts didn't exist in their time.
These words reminded Tian Guoguo that she still had a lot of peanuts in her space. If she could take out the peanuts and plant them, wouldn't that be...?
Thinking about it, she smiled!
She took out a few peanuts from her spatial storage and stuffed them into the hand of General Cui beside her. General Cui was slightly taken aback at first, but then quickly understood.
He immediately stood up and said to everyone, "Don't worry, everyone. Peanuts are a type of grain, and I have peanut seeds here."
"I'll distribute the seeds to everyone tomorrow, and then we'll plant them and see how they turn out when we harvest!"
Finally, he didn't forget to paint a rosy picture for everyone: "These peanuts haven't been grown in our Tianqi Kingdom yet. If our village grows them, we'll be the first."
"At the right time, it will definitely fetch a good price!"
At first, the villagers weren't very interested in peanuts they didn't recognize, until they heard what he said...
Everyone got excited and thanked General Cui in unison.
At the same time, he raised the wine bowl in front of him to toast General Cui.
General Cui was also pleased. Although he didn't know much about peanuts, Guoguo had just told him that peanuts could be fried in oil, stir-fried, and there were many other ways to eat them.
And, most importantly, it has high yield!
With this crop, people can have more dishes on their tables, and it may also help many places get rid of hunger.
The villagers continued to eat and drink, and the scene in the courtyard was joyful and lively.
Around halftime...
Suddenly, someone burst into tears, "Waaah, we've finally settled down! We don't have to flee famine anymore! It's so wonderful..."
These words instantly gripped the hearts of the half-drunk group!
They traveled thousands of miles from their hometown, and after more than four months, they finally arrived in Kyoto.
Putting aside the hardships they endured along the way, the events that occurred after they arrived in Kyoto served as a constant reminder of the difficulties of life!
Fortunately, they persevered.
They originally planned to sell the wolf meat and hide to buy a house, but His Majesty directly bestowed the house upon them, and not only that…
His Majesty also bestowed three acres of land upon each household.
Their lives were finally going to settle down. They were happy and excited, but also felt an indescribable bittersweet feeling.
Many people couldn't help but shed tears.
The village chief couldn't help but wipe his eyes.
Before he got too drunk, he distributed the money he had earned that day from selling wolf meat and wolf skins to everyone.
Qingshan Village has 32 households. They earned a total of more than 925 taels of silver from selling wolf skins and wolf meat. Logically, each household should receive more than 28.9 qian.
The village chief decided to give each household 28 taels, and the rest to Tian Jiaguoguo.
They are able to live such a good life because of Guoguo, so giving them these things is not excessive.
Everyone understands this principle and has no objections.
Even Ding Zhaodi, who is always meddlesome, had no objection to this!
Since everyone else has agreed, her objections probably won't be effective anyway!
Tian Guoguo had no objections whatsoever; in fact, she clapped her hands with stars in her eyes!
Everyone was amused by her adorable appearance and laughed heartily.
After distributing the money, the village chief then distributed the land deeds and house deeds.
When he returned with the imperial edict in the afternoon, the village head, Yang Qiuci, stopped him at the village entrance and gave him the house deeds and land deeds.
The village chief was extremely grateful and wanted to invite Yang Qiuci to dinner, but Yang Qiuci declined because he had official business to attend to.
The village chief could only thank him again.
The houses we live in now will be our own in the future.
Everyone was so excited that their eyes welled up with tears.
However, after receiving the house and land deeds, they first took them home before returning to continue their meal.
They're going to drink until they drop tonight!
Everyone picked up their bowls and drank heartily.
It was late at night when we finally finished.
The village chief was completely drunk, and his address to General Cui had changed from the respectful title of "General" to "little brother"!
General Cui was also somewhat confused.
He didn't blame the village chief, and even called him "brother." The two were chatting about something, and it was quite lively.
Most of the women hadn't drunk any alcohol, and seeing that it was getting late, they all helped their men home.
General Cui will be staying at the Tian family's house tonight.
Grandma Tian had also drunk some wine and was now a little tipsy, muttering a little tune to herself.
Tian Guoguo didn't drink any alcohol.
But her frail body couldn't take it anymore and she went to sleep!
The old lady wanted to take her granddaughter back to her room to sleep, but before returning to her own room, she instinctively went to Tian Yifan's room to check on her grandson.
Although Tian Yifan is not a blood relative of the Tian family, he is her grandson whom she raised by her own hand.
In the old lady's heart, as long as he was willing to stay, the Tian family would always be his home!
The old lady thought that Yifan was still asleep because he wasn't moving, but she was startled when she entered the room by her grandson kneeling on the ground!
To be precise, they were kneeling "grandchildren"...
Tian Yifan had woken up at some point and was now kneeling on the ground with Tian Yiming.
Upon seeing their grandmother enter, the two kowtowed simultaneously.
Grandma Tian felt a jolt of unease; a bad premonition arose within her, and her intuition told her that she was about to lose two grandsons.
The old lady's eyes instantly welled up with tears.
But she forced herself not to let the tears flow, placed her granddaughter on the bed, and then helped her grandsons up...
She choked back tears as she said, "Grandma knows you're all good children. You're reluctant to leave your parents, Grandma...Grandma understands..."
The old lady wanted to say, "Grandma understands, Grandma won't blame you."
But before she could finish speaking, she choked up and couldn't say anything more. The reluctance in her heart made her tears flow uncontrollably.
Tian Yifan and Tian Yiming were both frightened.
Tian Yifan was quick-witted and soon realized that his grandmother had probably misunderstood them. He hurriedly reached out to wipe away the tears on his grandmother's cheeks...
And she explained, "Grandma, we won't leave. We were born into the Tian family, and we'll die as ghosts of the Tian family!"
"Please, Grandma, don't abandon us. We don't want to leave home, and we can't live without a home. Grandma, Grandma, we..."
As Tian Yifan spoke, he was already sobbing uncontrollably.
Grandma Tian was crying hard when she heard what her eldest grandson said. She instinctively hiccuped, and then... cried even harder!
She hugged her two grandsons tightly, patting their backs gently as she cried, "What nonsense are you talking about? You are both my grandsons..."
"Grandma would rather give up herself than give up you all!"
Grandma Tian loves children the most, and even though Tian Yifan and Tian Yiming are not Tian family children, she truly lives up to her words.
The three of them, grandfather, grandmother, and grandson, wept together.
As night deepened, the evening breeze rustled against the windows.
The old lady seemed to realize then that it was getting late.
She released her two grandsons and told them that the Tian family was their home, and that they could stay at home as usual.
Everything else is handled by these elders.
Both Tian Yifan and Tian Yiming nodded, their voices choked with emotion.
The old lady closed the windows tightly for them and went to the kitchen to add some firewood to the kang (heated brick bed) in their room to keep it warm.
Only then did he return, pick up his granddaughter, and prepare to go home.
Tian Guoguo has mostly slept with her grandmother as she's grown up, and she'll continue to do so now that she's finally settled down.
