After reconciliation, abandoned wives and cubs farm the fields

Chapter 213
Just as he was talking, Pei Ming and Yan Shihou came over.

"Can I see what you're doing?" Yan Shihou stopped, and only went forward with Su Nanzhen's consent.

"I'm going to make potato flour, but I'm still trying." Su Nanzhen said, pointing to the bucket of stuff that was made, and asked Xichun to bring a stool for them to sit on.

"I heard from Songzhi that the yield of potatoes is very high. I tasted potatoes at his place and they tasted good. It would be a good thing for the country and the people if they can be made into a staple food." Yan Shihou said excitedly.

Su Nanzhen froze for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"Are you willing to benefit more people?" Yan Shihou asked again.

Su Nanzhen immediately understood what he meant, and nodded again.

"It's long-winded, just say what you have to say." Pei Ming rolled his eyes at him, seeing that he hadn't gotten to the point for so long, he was getting impatient for waiting.

"Yan has an unfeeling request. I wonder if you would like to write a book on how to grow this plant so that the imperial court can promote the cultivation of potatoes?" Yan Shihou also explained his intention of coming straight to the point.

"Writing a book? I haven't thought about it." Su Nanzhen was stunned for a moment. She could only read at most, and it might be difficult for her to write a book.

"Then think about it now." Yan Shihou blurted out.

"It's okay, this is a good thing, it doesn't matter if you don't understand, my son understands, he can write for him, you two can discuss it." Pei Ming looked at Yan Shihou and then at Su Nanzhen, and said casually.

Su Nanzhen nodded when he heard that he didn't need to write and think about it.

"That's a good idea. In fact, Songzhi also has the same idea. I'm impatient." Yan Shihou said quickly, he came this time to understand the situation and not to take credit for it.

When it comes to national affairs, Pei Ming can still say a few words to Yan Shihou.

Su Nanzhen listened to the meeting. Although it was different from her plan, the process was faster and the result should be the same. She quickly accepted their arrangement.

Yan Shihou had a great time, and reluctantly left after being reminded by his followers.

Su Nanzhen sent him away.

After going back, she looked at the sunny sky, and at the water and powder that had not been completely separated. She was still a little conservative in this regard, for fear of being too happy too soon.

On the second day, Su Nanzhen went to look at the contents of the barrel again. After nearly twelve hours, the upper layer of water had no excess impurities, so she poured out the water.

Taking advantage of the sunny day to dry the starch underneath, looking at something like white flour, Su Nanzhen knew that she had finally succeeded this time, and almost jumped up with excitement.

She didn't forget to tell Miao Lanzhi to come over and see the results.

Pei Ming also came to join in the fun.

But this time the collection of potato flour was pitifully small.

"What can you do with such a little thing?" Miao Lanzhi lost interest when she saw the less than half a catty of potato flour.

"Kneader." Eggy blurted out.

"This is not for kneading people." Su Nanzhen said dumbfounded.

"Why don't you make it into batter and see if it tastes good?" Xichun thought about it seriously, and then said.

"I want to make noodles." Su Nanzhen still shook her head.

"Will you?" Pei Ming asked curiously.

"It should be almost the same. Let me try." Seeing that they were all looking at him, Su Nanzhen mustered up the courage to take the bit of potato flour into the kitchen, but declined them to watch.

Without external pressure, Su Nanzhen stared at the flour for a long time.

The sudden silence made the people outside both expectant and nervous.

There was movement inside, Su Niangzi held her breath nervously, and didn't notice anyone walking in for a while.

"What are you doing?" Pei Songzhi asked curiously when he walked in and saw no one was paying attention to him.

"It's closed, please go back." Su Niangzi finished without turning her head, and realized something was wrong after she finished speaking, and turned her head to see that it was Pei Songzhi who smiled awkwardly.

"What's the matter?" Pei Songzhi didn't mind, and became more and more curious.

"Potato flour has been made." Mrs. Su explained.

"I'm here for this matter, it seems that I don't need my help." Pei Songzhi understood, he couldn't help finding time to come over after hearing what Yan Shihou said, and even helped him find a master, it seems that people are not needed anymore, Fortunately, I didn't bring it.

And Su Nanzhen locked herself in the kitchen and made two bowls of noodles, one bowl was made of potato flour, and the other was made of white flour mixed with mashed potatoes.

She saw a look of surprise flashing across Pei Songzhi's face, but soon she let everyone taste her delicious food as if nothing had happened.

With one more person, Pei Song, the amount of noodles each person can get is a little less.

"That's not enough to fit between the teeth." Pei Ming looked at the noodles in front of him with black lines on his face.

"Don't eat and change." Su Nanzhen is not used to him, and he can only make so much noodles with limited time.

Pei Ming muttered a few words and remained silent.

"I don't have any requirements for food, so I don't want to waste it. Whoever has a tricky tongue can try it." Mrs. Su couldn't bear to waste the noodles.

"Me." Qi Er blurted out, seeing everyone staring at him weakly explaining, "I don't have any requirements for food, but I can still give some opinions on whether it is good or not."

"Mother, come here, Qi Er, don't be disappointed, I'll make this for you tomorrow morning." Su Nanzhen thought for a while, and knew that her mother didn't want to eat it, but wanted it for Pei Ming, so she insisted on letting her taste it. "Hurry up, it won't taste good when it's cold."

Kung Fu Dandan and Xichun who were talking had already finished eating, and asked them which was delicious, Dandan said that both were delicious, but Xichun hesitated for a while before making a decision.

Su Nanzhen looked at the bowl he pointed to, which was noodles made of potato flour.

Others also finished eating and gave their opinions one after another.

Su Nanzhen did some calculations, and the noodles made of potato flour were slightly better.

"Are these noodles made of potato flour?" Pei Songzhi pointed to the small bowl on the left and asked her.

Su Nanzhen nodded.

"I haven't tasted anything at all, just listen to my opinion." Pei Ming said with a lot of meaning.

"Your opinion is not important." Pei Songzhi twitched his lips.

"Hiss!" Pei Ming glared at him in dissatisfaction. Fortunately, he still thought of him and gave him more chances to get along with Su Nanzhen. He regretted that he had taken advantage of him.

"The tasting is over, I'm going to prepare dinner." Su Nanzhen turned around and went into the kitchen to prepare dinner.

"It's fine if I come." Madam Su also followed into the kitchen, and asked her to go out to greet the guests. It's fine for her to cook dinner, and then she almost pushed people out.

Su Nanzhen had no choice but to leave the kitchen.

And Miao Lanzhi also planned to go back, so she said goodbye to her and asked her to find him if she needed it.

Su Nanzhen sent her out before going back.

As soon as he turned around, he saw Pei Songzhi behind him, Su Nanzhen blushed as he stared at the close distance between them, "Why are you here?"

"Mr. Yan came to me, I want to tell you that I can write for you, and I miss you."

"I haven't organized my notes yet."

Su Nanzhen calmed down, but she didn't dare to answer his last sentence.
