Chapter 180: Potatoes
Suddenly, a man's shout came from outside.
The three of them walked out to take a look, and saw Long Lianqi standing at the door with four officials.
Qiu was stunned, Nangong Anshan shouldn't be so stingy, she just went over to show goodwill, so she wanted to send an official to arrest her, right?
Qiu stepped forward with a smile and said, "Official, I don't know what is the matter with you coming to us?" ”
Long Lianqi said with a straight face: "We went to Nangong Miao's house just now, she was not there, I heard that it was you here, so we rushed over." ”
"Looking for me?" Nangong Miao had an ominous premonition in her heart.
Long Lianqi said: "Of course, you shouldn't forget, last time you and your daughter framed your second brother's family together, you didn't go to torture because you were pregnant, and now you still have the spirit to find someone else's unhappiness, and your body must have recovered." In that case, then come with us, there are still a hundred boards waiting for you. ”
Nangong Miao's face turned pale, and she asked tremblingly: "At the beginning, my daughter only suffered fifty boards each, why did she come to me, it was one hundred boards?" ”
"Do you need to ask?" Long Lianqi said: "Your daughter is not yet an adult, as long as you are an adult, you don't have to think about it to know that you must have supported it behind it." If you don't support it, your daughters won't make mistakes, so your responsibility will be heavier, and naturally you will suffer more. ”
Nangong Miao knelt down towards Long Lianqi in a moment, and cried: "Official, the people's woman's body has only recovered for a short time, and she really can't stand a hundred boards, so please ask the official to be gracious." ”
She has been recuperating recently, hoping to get pregnant again and give birth to a son.
Now that she is going to be tortured again, won't she have to wait a few more months before she can get pregnant?
If this 100 boards hurt her roots, then she will never have a son in her life.
Long Lianqi sneered: "Now you know that you are asking for grace? What did you do earlier? If you are so afraid of being punished, why do you want to do something to frame people? ”
"I know it's wrong, if I knew that there would be such a serious consequence, even if I was killed, I wouldn't have framed anyone."
Long Lianqi said: "If you know that you are wrong, you will be punished, and then you will change your mind and be a good person in the future." I won't talk nonsense with you anymore, come on, tie her up for me, and send her to the county office. ”
"Yes."
Qiu hurriedly said: "Official, please spare my daughter, she is too old to stand a hundred boards." ”
Long Lianqi said: "If you plead again, I will treat you as the main culprit and send you to the county government together." ”
Qiu Shi suddenly didn't dare to say more.
Nangong Miaoya was quickly arrested.
Nangong Cai saw that Qiu's look was very sad, and said with relief: "Auntie, a hundred boards will not die, but it will be a little painful, so you can look at it." ”
Qiu cried and said: "But Ah Miao was injured, and her family didn't have much money, even the money to build a house was scraped together, and I was worried that Dai Dahe would dislike her again." ”
Nangong Cai said helplessly: "A-Niang, what do you want to do?" ”
Qiu said: "Ah Cai, you can lend some money to Ah Niang, and this money will be used for your second sister to see a doctor." Later, when I receive the filial piety money from your second brother and third brother, I will return it to you immediately, how about it? ”
Nangong Cai hesitated for a moment and asked, "Ah Niang, how much do you want to borrow?" Let's say okay first, I don't have much, and you know the situation of my family. ”
Qiu hurriedly said: "It's not much, just five taels of silver." ”
"Five taels? That's not much, is it? I don't have a total of five taels of silver in my house now. ”
"And how many do you have? Lend it all to me. ”
"Two taels, no more, it's winter, I still have to save some money for the New Year."
"Okay, two taels will be two taels, you go back and give them all to me."
Nangong Cai had no choice but to go home and get the money.
……
After Nangong Anshan waited for Qiu to leave, after preparing the things for the guests to take away, she began to use sweet potatoes in her laboratory to tinker.
Liwang stood at the window and looked at it for a while, and asked, "Nangong girl, are you planning to make fresh food with sweet potatoes?" ”
Nangong Anshan said: "Sort of, but I can't do it for a while, it will take some time, and when it's done, I'll ask Feng Yi to send you some over." ”
King Li was suddenly a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "You're welcome, I'm just asking, I still have something to do, so I'll leave with Ah Xu first." ”
Nangong Anshan said: "Okay, then you can come and play at any time." ”
"Okay."
"Wait a minute, I'll go get something."
After Nangong Anshan finished speaking, she ordered someone to take out the things in the kitchen and put them in Uncle Wang's carriage.
King Li asked, "Nangong girl, are you ......?"
Nangong Anshan said: "Those are some of the foods I prepared, there are moon cakes, crystal cakes, fried walnuts, and some grapefruit and winter dates, grapefruit and winter dates are the fruits of the trees in my yard, and they bear a lot, I think the taste is not bad." I divided those things into three parts. One for Ah Xu, one for Uncle Wang, and one for His Royal Highness King Li. ”
Dugu Huanxu said: "His Royal Highness King Liwang also has it?" ”
"Yes." Nangong Anshan said: "I like the exchange of courtesies, he gave me so many things, I should also give a gift in return." ”
Liwang smiled: "Okay, then I will thank you on behalf of Liwang." ”
After the guests left, Nangong Anshan continued to make her dried sweet potatoes and starch.
Sweet potato starch is excellent, and some of the dishes she wants to cook must use starch, and with starch, many dishes can be made more delicious.
When the family saw that she was continuing to tinker with sweet potatoes, they knew that she must be researching new food, and they didn't care about her.
The next day, the greenhouse that Nangong Anshan asked Cao Zhenya to find someone to build had also been built.
At this time, Cao Zhenya also led people to the backyard of the sugar factory, and Nangong Anshan said that she was waiting for them there.
Nangong Anshan heard that there was someone at the door, quickly opened the door, saw the person coming, and said, "You are here, I have prepared everything to be planted, this is it." ”
Cao Zhenya looked at Nangong Anshan's line of sight, saw several baskets of things she didn't recognize, and asked, "What is this?" ”
Nangong Anshan said: "I found this in the mountains, and after eating it, I felt that it tasted good, so I dug some down." They look like beans, and I named them potatoes. ”
"I cut them like this, and I've experimented with them before, and when the potato wedges sprout, they can be used as seeds."
"Potatoes?" Cao Zhenya said: "Can this really be eaten?" ”
"Yes." Nangong Anshan smiled: "Aunt Cao, I asked you to plant so many things, but one of them is white?" ”
