Chapter 148 Chapter 148 Li Heng from...
Li Heng had never seen this dish before and was stunned for a moment. However, Wen Liu, who had brought the dish, quickly left, so he couldn't ask even if he wanted to.
Fortunately, not long after, Su Li knocked on the door and came in, "Mr. Song, Mr. Gu."
Li Heng instantly became interested. Looking at the dish in front of him, he asked, "Madam Su, what is this? I've never seen it before."
Su Li didn't keep the secret and looked at Song Ling and said, "This is what Young Master Song taught people to grow last time. Later, we found that it tasted good when cooked, so we used it to cook. Young Master Song and Young Master Gu can try it."
Song Ling withdrew his gaze. This was exactly as he had guessed. When he was in the north before, Shu Jiu brought this back from somewhere, saying that it was very good to eat. Song Ling cooked it and tasted it and thought it was just average. But he thought Su Li would like it, so he asked someone to bring it back as well. However, he had never eaten it like this before, so he didn't know it was possible to do so.
"I see. Let me try it." Li Heng picked up a piece of spicy and sour potato shreds with chopsticks and put it in his mouth. Huh? This taste, Li Heng didn't know how to describe it. Even though he had eaten many delicacies from land and sea, this taste was new to him.
Then he picked up a piece of potato from the ribs, which had a different taste. The soft, sweet potato was mixed with the aroma of meat, and it was very tasty. It had a completely different taste from the spicy and sour potato shreds, which was quite good.
Li Heng tasted them one by one and found that this thing called potatoes was delicious whether it was fried, stir-fried or boiled. It was really good.
However, what surprised Li Heng even more was what Su Li said later, "Last year I asked my grandfather to plant it in the yard, and the yield is huge." Then Su Li told him how much his grandfather, Old Man Su, had harvested from the crops in the yard last year.
Su Li didn't say anything else. She believed that the two people in front of her understood what she meant with just this one sentence.
Li Heng's breathing quickened, and he put down his chopsticks. "Are you serious?"
Only when he realized that he had lost his composure did he adjust his expression.
"Madam Su, this is not something you can joke about."
The main reason why Su Li told this story was to thank Song Ling. Secondly, she wanted her father and two daughters-in-law to have smoother careers. Since they were valued by the superiors, she naturally didn't dare to joke.
"If you don't believe me, Mr. Gu, you can go and ask. The neighbors all know about the potatoes, and there are still a lot left at home." Grandpa and grandma had a good relationship with the neighbors, and they asked others to help when they were digging potatoes.
Li Heng heard this and thought about it. It was true. He believed that the other party would not dare to lie to him. However, to be on the safe side, it would be better to ask. Thinking of this, he said to the person behind him, "Zhu Feng, go ask."
"Yes, Master."
After hearing this, the man quickly disappeared and left.
After this incident, Li Heng looked at Su Li differently. If this was true, it would be a good thing for both the country and the people, especially since there were still many disaster victims in the world who did not have enough food to eat.
And just now, the other party said that potatoes can be grown on any barren land. What does this mean? It means that they can also be grown on mountainous land. Jizhou, which he governs, has the most mountainous areas. No matter what crops are grown, the harvest is small. They can only grow trees. If these potatoes can really yield so many, and the mountains are fully planted, then his soldiers will never have to worry about food and drink.
When marching and fighting, food and supplies come first. Li Heng became restless as soon as he thought that this might be true, but he had to wait for his subordinates to come back to know everything.
He calmed himself down and continued to eat, but this time he didn't just treat it as a novelty like before, but had a different feeling about it.
Especially after eating more potatoes, Li Heng found that this dish was indeed different from other dishes. Potatoes are very filling. He felt about 60% full after eating such a small amount. It was really good.
After finishing the meal, the next thing was to wait for his men to come back. About an hour later, the man in black named Zhu Feng came back. He looked at Li Heng without saying anything, but Li Heng understood what he meant.
This is true.
Li Heng understood what was going on, so he called Su Li and told her his plan. "I wonder when these potatoes will be ripe. Can you sell me some then?"
Su Li knew that the other party believed what she said, so she said, "The potatoes will be mature in about three months, and can be dug around May or June."
Li Heng nodded and agreed with Su Li that she would keep the potatoes for him and send someone to pick them up. After that, he glanced at the person next to him, who respectfully took out a silver note from his pocket and said, "This is a deposit."
Su Li looked at the silver note of one thousand taels and dared not accept it. She had not told the other party this for the purpose of making money. However, Song Ling beside her also said, "Please accept it, Madam Su. This is also a kind gift from Master Gu, right, Master Gu?"
Li Heng:?
You forget your friends when you see a beautiful woman, right? You are so good, Song Ling.
However, Li Heng thought about it and realized that if this thing was real, its value would far exceed 1,000 taels of silver, so he did not hesitate to spend it. Moreover, for Song Ling's sake, he did not feel any remorse.
"Thank you, Master Gu and Master Song."
Su Li took the silver and left. She didn't expect that she had earned another sum of money inexplicably. This was a pleasant surprise.
At the Su family, Su Li did not tell anyone about this matter after returning home. She only told her father and two brothers in private. The three of them were very moved after hearing Su Li's words. How could they not know that Su Li did this for them? They were even more determined to make a name for themselves and let their family live a good life.
Because of this idea, they did not feel as reluctant as last time when they left for Jizhou three days later. It was just a pity that the newlyweds had to separate.
"Don't cry, it's not like we won't come back. Young Master Song said we'll be back in three months." Father Su then comforted Chen and Mrs. Wu.
"Yes, Mom, May will be here soon." Su Qinghe comforted her, but his eyes were looking at his wife Fangcao, hoping she would not worry about him.
I don’t know if Fangcao heard it or not, but her eyes were filled with tears of reluctance, which made Su Qinghe turn his head away with reluctance.
"Okay, we're running out of time later, so let's just leave it at that."
Following Father Su's words, the three of them each carried their bags, mounted their horses, and left.
Over there, in the carriage, Li Heng looked at Song Ling sitting across from him and asked, "Are you sure you don't want to go down and say goodbye to Madam Su?"
Song Ling closed his eyes and rested, still not saying a word.
Li Heng kept his mouth shut this time. Well, if others don’t worry about it themselves, why should he worry about it?
"Okay, let's go."
However, the next second, a female voice suddenly sounded outside the carriage, "Mr. Song, Mr. Gu."
Li Heng's eyes lit up and he looked at Song Ling teasingly.
Song Ling was also stunned. Why was she here?
It turned out that Su Li felt that she had said she would make food to thank Mr. Song last time, but she always felt that she did not really thank him, so she specially made some food to give to him on the way.
"Mr. Song, this is the food I made. Take it and eat it on the way." Su Li looked at the man in front of her. To be honest, such a good-looking man would make people happy just by looking at him. Every time Su Li saw him, she felt that he was very friendly to the eyes and ears. The only bad thing was that he was too thin. It was obvious that he did not eat well. So the only difference between the food Su Li made for him and the food she made for her father and brother was that the food she made for him was all meat. She hoped that he could eat more. It would be good if he could gain some weight.
Su Li looked at the person in front of her with complete admiration, but it was just admiration, without any other different thoughts.
This gaze was very obvious, and Song Ling naturally felt it, but Song Ling did not feel disgusted. It was not for anything else, but this gaze was like looking at a flower or a cloud. This was also the first time Song Ling felt different when seeing Su Li. This feeling was very strange, and Song Ling couldn't help but want to explore the person in front of him.
In fact, he really couldn't help but ask someone to check everything about Su Li. It was then that he realized that such a thin and frail woman had relied on her own strength to get to where she is today, and had led her family from being unable to eat to having enough food and clothing. It was also at this time that Song Ling was slowly attracted to her, and he also discovered that she was different from ordinary girls in the boudoir. She was smart, brave, and strong, like a weed that could survive anywhere. Her tenacious vitality was particularly dazzling, making him unable to take his eyes off her.
Song Ling looked at Su Li and said, "Thank you, Madam Su."
Su Li smiled, revealing the dimples on her cheeks, "Take care, Mr. Song."
"Take care, Madam Su."
After saying that, Song Ling turned around and got on the carriage without stopping. Li Heng quickly turned his head back and pretended not to look. "What are you holding in your hand?"
Song Ling didn't say anything, so Li Heng had no choice but to reach out to take it. However, the usually generous Song Ling refused to give it to him and deliberately moved it away. This made Li Heng stunned. He didn't expect Song Ling to be like this. However, he didn't force the other party to give it to him. Instead, he sat aside and said dissatisfiedly, "You are getting more and more stingy now."
But the only answer he got was silence.
Here, as the carriage slowly moved, Su Li also returned to Chen's side. Chen looked at the person walking away and said to Su Li, "Did you give the things to Mr. Song?"
Su Li nodded and said, "I gave it to you."
Chen replied, "That's good." Originally, she wanted to see Young Master Song off, but ever since her husband told her about Young Master Song's identity, she has been a little afraid of him and dared not act as casually as before.
"That's good."
After Chen finished speaking, she had nothing else to say.
"Okay, let's go back." After saying that, Chen went to call Fangcao to go back together. On the way, she comforted Fangcao, fearing that Fangcao would be upset. Fortunately, Fangcao had a strong ability to adapt, and in the end she comforted Chen in return and told her not to be sad.
Su Tao's eyes were also red. She and Su Li walked behind, not wanting to be seen.
"Fifth sister, tell me, why can't our family stay together forever?"
The more than one month since her father and brothers came back has been the happiest time for Su Tao in recent years, even happier than when she earned money in recent years. She feels that as long as her father and brothers are around, she feels very safe and happy. She really doesn't want them to leave.
Su Li felt sad when she heard this and couldn't help but think, yes, why can't a family always be together?
yes? !
Dad and the others went to Jizhou, so they could go too! Now that the restaurant and food store are on track, they can definitely open a food store in Jizhou as well! Wouldn't the whole family be able to be together this way?
Thinking of this, Su Li's mood suddenly brightened up, and she was eager to tell this to her grandmother and the others. However, this was not an easy matter. First, she had to grow the potatoes, and then the restaurant had to find a trustworthy and reliable manager.
