Chapter 226 Unreasonable Request
In the morning, Su Ying made fried sugar cakes and soy milk. Dou Jing and others were awakened by the aroma of the sugar cakes and the mellow aroma of the soy milk.
Looking at the round, golden and fragrant fried sugar cake, Dou Jing swallowed unconsciously, "What is this? It's very different from fried dough sticks."
"My Lord, this is a new treat I made. It's called fried sugar cake. Please be careful with your first bite. You need to take a small bite first. The sugar inside is melted. Be careful not to burn your mouth or tongue."
Su Bucheng picked up a piece of hot cake.
Dou Jing took it and carefully took a small bite. A stream of hot steam came out and reddish-brown brown sugar juice flowed out.
"Well, it's delicious!" Dou Jing nodded with satisfaction and kept asking others to eat quickly.
It is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with lava syrup, a sandy texture, crispy, sweet and soft, sweet but not greasy.
Blowing on it while eating in small bites, and then taking a sip of the fragrant soy milk, it feels wonderful!
Everyone was eating with their mouths drooling, in a great mood, and full of praise.
Before leaving, Dou Jing, who was not greedy, wanted to say something but stopped herself.
"Sir, here is a piece of sugar cake and a bag of twisted dough sticks to satisfy your hunger on the road." Su Ying came out carrying two food boxes.
"That's enough, that's enough. There's no need to carry it on the road!" Dou Jing said politely, but her eyes were fixed on the food box.
"This fried dough twist is also a new food. It can be kept for a few days. It comes in three flavors: salty, sweet, and pepper and salt. It can satisfy hunger when you are hungry on the road, and it can also be used as a midnight snack."
Su Ying opened the lid of the lunch box.
"Is this called Mahua?" Dou Jing saw rolls of golden, rope-like things in the food box. They were not as fluffy and crispy as fried dough sticks.
"Yes, sir, please try it!" Su Ying advised.
"Uh..." Dou Jing felt that the sugar cake and soy milk were still in her throat.
Just as I was about to decline, my hand reached out, picked up a small piece, put it in my mouth and took a bite. It was crispy and crunchy, and it was another feeling.
Lu Zhaoshi, Wang Yannian and others gathered around. Dou Jing immediately protected it, closed the lid, and asked the entourage to carry it to the car, "This is a gift from the girl!"
Su Ying smiled, and Madam Du also came out with a food box, "A little food, everyone, take it with you, it will be a snack for you on your journey."
Everyone got on the carriage. Su Bucheng and Su Laosan each had a bundle filled with clothes for the changing seasons.
Last night, Mrs. Du and Mrs. Wei stayed up late to make spring clothes for their husbands.
"Don't worry, my husband. I will take good care of the family!" Du and Wei held their husbands' hands and said goodbye reluctantly.
"Thank you for your hard work at home!" Su Bucheng and Su Laosan were reluctant to leave, but they had to go on a long journey for the sake of their family and the future of their children.
"Aye!" Su Bucheng came in front of the children, and Su Boyan and Su Zhongyan bowed.
"My father is away and my mother is the only one at home. You all need to help her out! Don't panic when something happens. Discuss with my second uncle and Aying and don't act rashly." Su Bucheng warned.
"It was saved by our sons!" Su Boyan and Su Zhongyan replied respectfully.
"Aying!" Su Bucheng looked at his eldest daughter. All this was thanks to his eldest daughter's advice.
"Take care, Dad!" Su Ying was reluctant to leave and quietly handed over a few pieces of paper.
"These are some new ideas I came up with last night. Aye, take a look when you have time and see if they are useful."
"Thank you!" Su Bucheng put the paper in his arms, knowing that his daughter had planned this all night long, just to help him.
"Aye!" Xiaotao pulled her father's robe, tears in her eyes.
"Aye!" Atang blinked his big eyes. He was not as sad as Xiaotao, but he was also reluctant to leave.
"Good children, Aye will come back to see you when he has time, you just stay home and be well!"
Su Bucheng had never been so sad before, and he hugged his two little daughters reluctantly.
Su Lao San was not much better off. Bing Yan pulled at his father's robe, tears welling up in his eyes.
I slept between my parents last night. I was happy for my father but also very reluctant to leave him.
"Father, will you come back for the New Year?" Bing Yan said in a tearful voice.
"Of course, Aye brought some fun things for Bingyan. The Governor's Mansion is close to Guangzhou Prefecture, and there's a port there, so there are a lot of new and interesting things!"
Su Laosan coaxed his youngest son patiently, his nose feeling sore.
"Okay! Let's go, let's go! Don't dawdle!" Old Mrs. Su couldn't bear to see this scene, so she turned around, her cloudy eyes already wet.
"Mom, your sons are gone! Please take care of yourself!" Su Bucheng and Su Laosan bid farewell to their mother.
The carriage carrying everyone slowly left.
"Aying! Where are the things?" Lu Zhaoshi stuck his head out of the car window.
"Oh, I almost forgot!" Su Ying patted her head, took out a card from her sleeve pocket, and caught up.
"I've only sketched a rough outline. I'm afraid the details will need to be revised several times."
Lu Zhaoshi took it with a smile, "It saves money!"
"Sir, could you please get some iron slag?" Su Ying thought of the cement.
"Okay, wait!" Lu Zhaoshi didn't ask and just used it.
"What's this new thing?" After Lu Zhaoshi retracted his head, Dou Jingguo snatched the paper away.
Looking at the strange drawings, the wooden car looks like a horse but is not a horse. There are gears connecting the seat and a frame and armrests in the front. There is a place to put things on the front baffle and there is also a robotic arm.
"What is this?" Dou Jing asked.
"My Lord, this is the rice seedling horse conceived by Miss Su. It is used for pulling and transplanting rice seedlings. If it can be made, farmers can pull and transplant rice seedlings automatically while sitting. It will greatly reduce farmers' workload and greatly improve their labor efficiency." Lu Zhaoshi replied.
"Is it so magical? It can even plant rice automatically?" Dou Jing thought it was so magical.
"Yes, this needs to be trial-produced and repeatedly debugged to meet the requirements, satisfy the plant spacing and transplanting depth without damaging the roots." Lu Zhaoshi said.
"Is it so magical?" Dou Jing couldn't sit still any longer. "I want this blueprint."
"Uh, sir, I only have one copy. Can you wait for me to make a copy before..." Lu Zhaoshi was speechless. How could someone snatch something like this?
"Minister Su, do you have it?" Dou Jing asked Su Lao San.
"Your Excellency, I don't have any." said Su Lao San.
"This item isn't overly complicated to make, but it does require repeated testing and adjustments. The village has a lot of chores to attend to, so I, your humble niece, have no choice but to ask the Governor for help so we can use it for the next rice planting season."
"Remember to return it to me after you copy it!" Dou Jing handed it to Lu Zhaoshi reluctantly.
"Yes!" Lu Zhaoshi hurriedly took it.
It was clearly his own thing, but after it passed through the hands of the Temple Minister, it became his. Lu Zhaoshi was very depressed.
"When you produce the prototype, remember to send me a few!" Dou Jing made another excessive request.
Lu Zhaoshi looked at the Temple Minister in confusion. After taking the drawings, why did he still want the real thing?
"I'll mail this blueprint to Old Yan, the Chief of Construction, to see if he can figure it out. Rice isn't just found in Lingnan.
Lingnan Road will be planting next season, and we'll strive to popularize rice seedlings. Whether we can succeed depends on you!" Dou Jing assigned the task in a domineering manner.
The pedal thresher that was sent back to the court last time was tinkered with by the supervisor, and the production drawings were distributed to various states and counties, requiring them to be promoted and popularized as soon as possible.
The rice seedling that appeared was a perfect match for it, so Dou Jing naturally wouldn't let it go.
"Yes, sir!" Lu Zhaoshi understood.
Walk along the village road to the official road, then to Heifeng Township and back to the county town. There are very few pedestrians along the way, and the towns are also deserted. During the busy farming season, everyone is working in the fields.
