Quick wear: She has turned over the big guys from all walks of life

Chapter 1364 Famine and Natural Disaster 523
Guard Yu lowered his head and asked calmly, "How do you sell it?"

"If this lady wants a whole bag, please give her five hundred coins. This thing is not worth much."

The price the man offered was unexpected.

At this moment, Guard Yu understood that this man was truly honest and was not pretending.

When traveling, I have met many people who pretend to be honest. They look honest, but in fact they are full of schemes. After seeing so many of them, I am more wary of honest people than those who look shrewd.

"Brother Yu, give him five taels."

The man was shocked. Five taels?

"No need, no need, this thing is really worthless." He waved his hands and refused. From five hundred coins to five taels, the gap was too big.

Mingyi said with a smile: "Take it, buy some good things for the children at home, we don't need this little money."

The appearance of Tudou helped her a lot, and the five taels of silver was what he deserved.

"Well, thank you, girl." The man thanked her silently.

Guard Yu took out some small change and gave it to him, "Please help us pack it up."

"Okay, okay." After carefully packing the silver, the man bent down and put all the lumps of earth outside into the sack. After handing it to Guard Yu, he asked hesitantly, "Sir, lady, I still have about 200 kilograms of silver at home. The silver you gave me is too much. I will send the rest to you when I go back. Where is your address?"

Ming Yi's starry eyes were gleaming and sparkling. "We are at Ming Yue Restaurant. Send us whatever you have. We won't take it for nothing. 50 catties and 5 ounces of silver, the same price as now."

Guard Yu silently carried the things and followed Mingyi, following closely; Guard Li scratched his head, not knowing what was going on.

"Madam Cheng, are lumps of earth really edible?"

"You'll know if you try it. When we get back to the restaurant, go and watch the chef help make a meal for you to try. Add some onions, ginger, and garlic, stir-fry them, then add electric vinegar and let's try it." I haven't eaten potatoes for a long time, especially those cooked with vinegar.

Hiss~
No, the body fluid secretion is excessive and I can’t think about it.

Strolling back to Mingyue Restaurant, Mingyi urged Guard Yu to quickly pick up a few lumps of earth to try; the wild potatoes came in different sizes, some as big as a fist, and some as small as a little finger.

Guard Yu picked out a few big ones and took them to the kitchen, then gave the cook some silver and asked him to help cook them.

When the shredded potatoes were served, Mingyi was sitting at the window table by the lake in the lobby on the first floor, waiting bored.

"Madam Cheng, the lumps of earth you asked for are ready." Guards Yu and Li came over one after the other, each holding a plate of steaming potatoes.

After putting them on the table, she could see clearly that one plate was cut into shreds and the other plate was cut into cubes.

"The chef is thoughtful." Mingyi looked up and praised with a smile.

Guard Yu smiled, and Guard Li couldn't wait to say, "Madam Cheng is very observant. Although the chef looks fat and greasy, he is a good person. He has never seen a clod of earth before, but he still managed to make it into a dish."

"You guys sit down and eat too." Mingyi pointed to the seat opposite.

Guards Yu and Li thanked them and took their seats.

Then the waiter brought the dishes and chopsticks. Mingyi picked up the chopsticks and smelled a sour smell. The saliva in her mouth secreted faster. She picked up a piece of shredded potato with chopsticks and tasted it carefully. It was slightly sour and sweet. Only onions, ginger and garlic were added. She could taste the unique sweetness of cooked potatoes.

Wild potatoes are better than the large potatoes that are pulled out and sold wholesale in later generations. "Eat it, it tastes good, soft, sweet, and has a good taste." If the chef knows how to cook it, it will taste better if it is fried until crispy.

"Really?" Guard Li picked up the chopsticks and gave a pair to Guard Yu first. Then he took a bite anxiously. The soft texture and slightly sour and sweet taste made him want to eat more.

Seeing that he was eating with relish, Guard Yu took a piece of food with chopsticks and put it in his mouth half-believingly; the taste was indeed as the young lady had described, soft, glutinous, sweet, sour and delicious.

"Madam Cheng, that man didn't lie."

"We have found another kind of food. As for the rest, I will have people send them to my farm to plant when we get back. If the harvest is good, it can be popularized in the northwest next year. People will have one more crop at home, and their lives will get better and better." Mingyi smiled pretty much. She was happy when she thought of the joy of the people's harvest.

It was a kind of joy that came from within, and a sense of hope for the future of the people.

The two guards looked at each other, and in their eyes, Madam Cheng seemed to have her own light; at this moment, they seemed to understand better why the Young Master loved Madam Cheng so unconditionally.

How can two people with the same goal and the same ideas not be attracted to each other?

They could not match Madam Cheng's broad-mindedness.

After finishing two plates of potatoes, the three of them put down their chopsticks reluctantly.

Mingyi said regretfully: "I can't eat anymore."

"There are still two hundred kilograms that have not been delivered. If you want to eat, you can have a few more meals." Guard Yu advised, saying that a few less clods of earth would not have much impact.

"No, keep it. This thing has only been seen here so far. We have to save the seeds. If they can be grown, we won't have to be so frugal in the future." He showed his importance to the clod of earth at the right time, which also made Guards Yu and Li treat the food, which appeared for the first time in their eyes, more seriously.

The current output is unknown, so Mingyi can't say anything else; he is also afraid that the guards will not take it seriously, and it would be a pity if it is lost.

After she said that, the weight of the clod of earth did increase a lot in their hearts. At least they were more careful in their attitude towards the clod of earth. It was not as uninvited and uneducated as it was at the beginning. Mingyi even found it a little funny.

A sack of earth was placed in the room where they lived. Mingyi sat by the window, supporting her cheek with one hand, looking at the river flowing outside the window. Quiet and peaceful, this town was a good place for vacation and also a suitable place for retirement.

There are few people, it is quiet and the people are simple.

Living here is an enjoyment of slow life.

I was enjoying the rare quietness with a happy heart. There were few people in the town and not many people came here. It was quite magical that the restaurant could still operate.

The restaurant's business is popular, and what the town lacks most is people.

noon.

Mingyi, who was enjoying the peace and quiet, was having lunch with Grandpa Ning and others when the farmer who was selling lumps of earth came over.

Mingyi immediately put down his bowl and chopsticks and walked out of the restaurant with Guard Yu.

"Brother, you came so quickly? It's great. We are having a meal. Let's eat together first." Guard Yu was in charge of the reception. Mingyi looked at the old cart he pushed with four sacks on it.

The man shook his head repeatedly, "You're welcome. I'll stop eating what I've eaten. Look at these lumps of earth. There's nothing rotten."

Guard Yu opened the four sacks as instructed, reached into each sack and randomly pulled out the one in the middle to have a look; none of the things he took out were bad, but they were all covered in mud, which was a bit uncomfortable to touch after it dried.

"Very good, a bag of five taels of silver." Guard Yu took out two silver notes from his sleeves, one for ten taels, which was exactly twenty taels. "We don't have that much change on us, you can take this note to Zhou's Bank in the northwest to exchange it."
