"No, we're eating together, go wash your hands!" Su Muyao pretended to be angry and said fiercely to the two sisters.
Liu Erya quickly took Erya's hand and led her to wash her hands, saying as they washed, "Just try two, don't eat too many. We're different from them, you know?"
"Sister, I know," Er Ya said softly, and Da Ya patted Er Ya's head.
“We’re already living a good life now, so we can’t upset them. You don’t want to go back to the old days, do you? So we have to be careful about everything we do, you know?”
"Yes," Er Ya nodded emphatically.
The little rascals who had been playing outside all came back. Su Mingxuan reached out to grab the fried bits in the bowl, but Su Laosan slapped his little hand.
"You're grabbing things without washing your hands? You've been grabbing sheep droppings or cow droppings outside, and now you're grabbing food again."
Su Mingxuan immediately felt wronged after being hit, saying, "I didn't grab sheep droppings, nor did I grab cow droppings."
"Even if you didn't catch it, you still need to wash your hands! Go now!"
Su Mingxuan quickly followed his older brothers to wash his hands.
The little ones sat together eating their delicious meal. Before they had even finished, Grandma Su brought over another large bowl from inside.
Looking at the large bowl of pork cracklings, Su Laosan then went to the kitchen to look at the lard his mother had rendered.
Thinking that I hadn't gone to buy lard, I suddenly remembered something when I saw the little dumpling sitting in the yard, so I didn't ask the question that was on my mind.
Su Muyao looked at the two girls, put a piece of food in her mouth, chewed it for a long time, and then frowned.
I ran to the kitchen, grabbed a small bowl, and scooped half a bowl of pork cracklings into each of them.
If I don't prepare some food for them separately, these two little ones really don't eat much when they take it themselves.
"These two bowls are for you."
Er Ya was about to go pick her up when Da Ya stopped her, asking, "What did I tell you?"
Upon hearing her older sister say this, Er Ya quickly pulled her hand back, saying, "Little sister, eat it. We don't like it."
Su Mingxuan looked at Da Ya with great puzzlement, "It smells so good, how come you don't like it? That's strange."
“Da Ya, now that you’ve come to our home, you’re part of it, even though we’re not as well-off as those wealthy families.”
"But you can still have enough to eat and wear, so don't be so careful as if we're trying to mistreat you."
Upon hearing this, Daya quickly waved her hands, saying, "No, no."
She really didn't know what to say. She understood that Su Muyao probably wanted her to eat more, but she had already gotten used to it at home.
I can eat my fill every day here, and I don't have to do much work. I also have to take care of their food and clothing. I feel very sorry for the Su family. How could I deserve all those good things?
Looking at the little dumpling pretending to be angry, she quickly nodded, "I know, I won't do it again next time."
"Um"
As soon as Su Muyao left, Er Ya looked at her older sister with expectant eyes.
These things smelled really good, especially the piece she had just eaten; she chewed it for a long time, reluctant to swallow it.
Looking at his younger sister, he nodded. "Eat up. Remember how good they were to us, okay?"
"I know, sister."
Su Muyao returned to her room and instantly entered her spatial dimension, where she began to busy herself until it was almost time for dinner before coming out.
When she arrived at the table in the main room, she saw a large group of people crowded together.
I never expected that Grandpa would invite the little boy and those other people over for dinner. I can't feel any affection for this little boy at all right now.
Although she had saved him, she repaid him with the spiritual spring water.
Most importantly, she remembered what the white wolf had told her that day: to stay away from this dangerous person.
Grandma Su made braised chicken with potatoes, some braised pork, and stir-fried eggs with chili peppers.
There was also a plate of stir-fried bamboo shoots with meat. Today, it was all meat dishes, not a single green leaf in sight. The whole house smelled of meat.
When Grandma Su saw that there wasn't even a single vegetable dish, she quickly went to the kitchen and stir-fried some wild vegetables that had been washed.
Then he brought out a large bowl of coarse rice and invited the guests to eat.
Long Yuan also noticed the little dumpling's unfriendly attitude towards him. Although she hadn't spoken to him before, she hadn't been looking at him with such cold eyes as she was now.
Could it be that she sensed my murderous intent earlier?
However, he could clearly sense that the little girl had no internal energy at all, and she didn't even have a basic foundation in martial arts. Logically, he shouldn't have been able to detect her.
I'm probably overthinking it.
At the dinner table, the whole family warmly invited their little benefactor to eat.
After the meal, the little boy came up to Su Muyao and asked about the high-yield seeds.
Speaking of this, Su Muyao would naturally give a proper introduction, after all, given the boy's identity, it would be difficult to truly get the entire country to switch to this kind of seed.
It's really difficult for a county magistrate to spread the word too far in a short period of time.
The emperor is so far away, so even if he takes those seeds and seedlings with him, the royal family will definitely have to plant them first before promoting them to the people. This round trip will probably take a long time.
Su Muyao went straight back to her room, took some seeds from her spatial storage, and then came to the table.
"These are the seeds of sweet potatoes and potatoes?"
"And that chili pepper I just ate, the bell pepper I had before, it's similar to this one, but much more expensive."
"This isn't called rice. I have a better variety. This is a high-yield rice improved by a Mr. Yuan Longping."
"This rice tastes better than the rice we have now, but I don't know if the temperature here will be suitable. I'll see if anyone is willing to plant a smaller amount."
Su Muyao thought that since this type of rice had never been grown before, she couldn't be too certain.
"Were these seeds also bought from the Hu people?"
"right"
The little boy nodded, but his eyes narrowed slightly when he lowered his head.
He had already inquired with people as soon as he arrived, and no one had ever seen the master that the little dumpling was talking about.
The master he mentioned seemed to have never existed; there was no trace of him whatsoever.
Su Muyao rested her chin on her hand, thinking that it was a little late to plant sweet potatoes, but not too late, but rice really couldn't be planted now.
Normally, rice is planted starting in March or April, but it's obviously been several months already, so it's no longer possible to plant it.
Longyuan then asked about the planting methods for sweet potatoes and potatoes.
When Longyuan first came here to buy land, he also bought a few plots of land from the village chief. Since he planned to stay here for a long time, he still wanted to cultivate some land.
Long Yuan sighed softly after returning to his residence.
Yingyi poured a cup of tea and handed it to him. "Your Highness, is something on your mind?"
"Most of the land in the Great Dynasty is barren, and the arid lands yield poor harvests no matter what you plant."
In this small mountain village, some people are thinking about cultivating this high-yield seed to benefit the whole country.
"But those who should be concerned about the people's suffering are instead trying to please the Emperor! They keep urging him to build more palaces and imperial tombs and to take in beauties."
It makes me think of those people who receive salaries but don't care about the lives of ordinary people.
The old steward, standing to the side, looked pleased. "Your Majesty, do you know? The crown prince you chose is excellent; he will surely be a wise ruler in the future."
It was bustling outside, and someone was shouting something.
"Shadow One, go out and take a look."
"yes".
