Chapter 320: Intent on Making Friends
The reason why Shen Qi said this is because most people don't eat pig offal. If they want to eat it, they are those who are too poor to afford meat.
Although his granddaughter was not rich, she was not so poor that she had to eat pig offal.
Shen Ruolan blinked at her grandfather and said innocently, "Grandpa, this is really pig offal. It tastes very good."
After she finished speaking, she personally picked up a piece of pig's stomach with chopsticks, handed it to grandpa and said, "Grandpa, this is pig's stomach, it's delicious, you try it."
She seldom slaughters pigs in the mountains, so it is not easy to eat pig stomach. This time, she brought back all three pig stomachs.
Shen Qi looked at his granddaughter with a smile on her face. Although he was very reluctant to eat pig offal, he still ate it out of courtesy.
The moment Shen Qi put the pig's stomach into his mouth, he was surprised to find that there was no pig smell, but instead the meat was crispy, tender, and fragrant. The more he chewed, the more delicious it became. After one bite, he couldn't help but want to take the next one.
Sure enough, the granddaughter did not play a trick on them. It was just that they were too short-sighted.
"Grandpa, is it delicious?" Shen Hui, who had not picked up his chopsticks, asked quickly when he saw his grandfather eating.
Shen Qi rolled his eyes at his foodie grandson and said to him unhappily, "These dishes are not tasty. You should find something else to eat."
Shen Qi told his grandchildren that the food was not tasty, but his chopsticks never stopped moving as he kept eating the dishes that Shen Ruolan introduced to him.
Seeing this, Shen Hui looked at his grandfather and said with a smile: "Grandpa, I know you must be lying to us. You want to eat all the food by yourself, but we don't believe you."
After he finished speaking, he picked up the food that his grandfather was passing to him and started eating.
"Oh my, what kind of magical dish is this? It's so delicious." Shen Hui couldn't help but exclaimed loudly after taking a bite of pig intestine.
Seeing this, people at the next table also came over to eat.
Especially Bai Yongwang and his wife, who had never eaten chili peppers. Except for a few dishes, all the dishes on the table were chili peppers. They were so spicy that they asked their son, "Zhen'er, what kind of dish is this? Why does it taste so bad?"
Bai Zhen explained to his parents: "Dad, Mom, this is called chili pepper, it's very precious, Madam Shen usually doesn't want to eat it, you just need to eat a few more times to get used to it."
After hearing their son say that this pepper was very precious, the couple became less afraid of the spicy food and kept eating dishes with pepper. Soon, they really came to like the taste of this pepper.
However, although the two of them liked it, they were not greedy and did not ask Shen Ruolan for chili peppers or anything like that, because they had not forgotten what their son had said that it was very precious, and it was a great blessing for them to have the opportunity to taste it.
In Shen Ruolan's courtyard, everyone enjoyed the meal. Shen Hui followed Shen Ruolan and asked, "Sister Lan, when are we going to have tonight's meal next time?"
Shen Ruolan looked at her third cousin and said helplessly, "Third cousin, the food we have tonight is limited. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to eat."
The most enjoyable thing for everyone tonight is pig offal, which can only be eaten after the pigs are slaughtered, otherwise you can't eat it at other times.
"Okay." Shen Hui responded with regret when he heard that the ingredients were limited.
Seeing that her cousin was no longer chasing her, Shen Ruolan went back to her room to settle the accounts. While Mr. Bai was here, she wanted to count the money she had earned from making weapons for them, and also make a summary of the grain she had collected today.
This year, we are planting in wasteland. However, the crops planted on 800 acres of wasteland are not yet ripe, so we have only harvested the nearly 1,000 acres of rice fields.
Shen Ruolan made a rough estimate and found that the average rice yield per acre was about 250 kilograms, so 1,000 acres would yield about 250,000 kilograms. Together with what she brought back from Beinan Mountain, the total yield was less than 500,000 kilograms.
Seeing this number, Shen Ruolan breathed a sigh of relief. With these 500,000 kilograms of grain, they would no longer have to worry about food.
Because after the autumn harvest this year, she can still plant a season of wheat. If there is no problem with the summer harvest next year, then she will be able to make ends meet. Next, she will continue to reclaim wasteland and farm step by step.
By the way, bricks and tiles also need to be prepared, otherwise she would feel uneasy living in a thatched house all day, fearing that a strong wind would blow her house down one day.
Shen Ruolan was calculating the bills while planning what to do next.
The next day, she found Bai Yongwang, handed him a booklet and said, "Master Bai, this is the account I calculated last night. Can you take a look and see if there is any problem?"
Bai Yongwang listened to Shen Ruolan's words, he took the book and looked at it carefully. When he saw that the account book showed that he would be given 20,000 taels of silver, he handed the book to Shen Ruolan and said, "Miss Shen, because of your care, Baitie Village has made our lives much better than before."
Bai Yongwang paused and continued, "Now Fuzhai is in great need of money. I will charge you the cost, and the rest will be our contribution to the growth of Fuzhai."
From the moment Shen Ruolan wanted to make a bow and arrow, Bai Yongwang knew what this extraordinary woman in front of him wanted to do. He didn't have any big ambitions, he just hoped that his family would be safe.
Therefore, while Shen Ruolan is still growing up, he should do her some favors. If their family encounters any misfortune in the future, he hopes that she will help them out of their past friendship.
Bai Yongwang's words surprised Shen Ruolan, but since the other party wanted to make friends, she would not refuse. She took the account book and said to Bai Yongwang, "In that case, thank you, Mr. Bai."
"Madam Shen, you're welcome." Bai Yongwang said.
The two of them exchanged polite words, and Bai Yongwang said goodbye to Shen Ruolan and left.
However, before leaving, Shen Ruolan did not let Bai Yongwang down. She gave him five thousand taels of silver, plus 20,000 kilograms of new rice that had just been harvested yesterday, and asked Bai Zhen to personally lead people to escort her parents home.
On the way back, Mrs. Bai looked at the team behind her and couldn't help but sigh to her husband: "My husband, you have good taste. This Miss Shen is really not an ordinary girl."
No matter how much silver Shen Ruolan gave her, she felt nothing, but the 20,000 kilograms of grain really touched her heart.
You know, their Baitie Village is all mountainous and rice cannot be grown at all. Now Shen Ruolan gave them tens of thousands of kilograms of rice. She was so happy that she couldn't tell.
Bai Yongwang said with regret, "It's a pity that our Zhen'er doesn't have that blessing."
Madam Bai said, "Just be content. It is a great blessing for our Zhen'er to work under her."
Bai Yongwang said: "That's right."
It was the King of Cold in Bei Ming who was notorious. Even if they liked Shen Ruolan, they did not dare to provoke him.
