Chapter 354 Harvest at Sea 1
As early as when the eldest brother joined the army, they knew that he would face danger every day, but they didn't expect that they would still not be able to bear it when they knew it.
"I'm glad that you're okay, brother."
Shen Qi'an was completely unable to eat now, but seeing that Shen Li was still eating, he picked up his chopsticks and took a few bites.
"Fourth brother, eldest brother..."
Shen Li wanted to say that big brother would be fine, but things change rapidly on the battlefield. Someone who was alive one second might be dead in the next. Who could guarantee such a thing?
"Ali, you don't have to promise anything. This is Big Brother's choice. He actually chose this path. I believe he has been mentally prepared. Besides, he is a soldier under Pei Yu. I don't know how much better it is than others."
"Well, fourth brother, I understand."
I originally thought that Fourth Brother was under a lot of pressure recently, so I wanted to come and comfort him, but I didn't expect that I would be comforted by him instead.
After finishing his meal, Shen Qi did not go to the study to read immediately. Instead, he took a walk outside for fifteen minutes, practiced two sets of boxing, and then went to the study after taking a bath.
Shen Li was a little full after eating in the evening. After walking around outside for a few rounds to digest the food, she returned to another house. Her room was there, and Shen Qian'an would arrange for someone to clean it regularly, so Shen Li didn't need to do anything and could just move in.
The next day, just as Shen Li arrived at the store, Su Zhihui came.
"How did you come?"
Su Zhihui sat down next to her and complained, "It's a bit boring to stay here. If not you, who else should I go to?"
"As long as there is nothing to do, my eldest brother is unwilling to say a word. He is simply a taciturn person."
Shen Li asked: "What if something happens?"
Su Zhihui smiled lightly, "Then you will be lucky enough to meet the long-winded Lu Heng."
Shen Li laughed. Seeing her resentful look, it was obvious that she had been punished a lot when she returned home yesterday.
"Ah Hui, the person you like is my fourth brother?"
Su Zhihui blushed slightly and nodded. She felt a little embarrassed that she fell in love with her best sister's brother.
"Ali, you're not angry, are you?"
When I heard her cautiously ask me if I was angry, I suddenly felt that Ah Hui was really cute.
"Ahui, what are you thinking about? Why should I be angry?"
Su Zhihui thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's because I don't want to be your sister, I want to be your sister-in-law."
Shen Li:......
This girl has quite avant-garde ideas!
"You want to be my sister-in-law and we can be sisters. There won't be any conflict, right?"
"It seems so."
Su Zhihui thought carefully about Shen Li's words and felt that what she said made sense.
"That's fine."
Su Zhihui lay on the table, feeling a little depressed. "But Ah Li, my eldest brother said that my parents won't agree easily. What do you think I should do?"
If Shen Li were her brother, she would really want to pry open her head to see what's inside. Isn't she afraid that she might have bad intentions and give her some bad advice?
"No, Ah Hui, are you serious about asking me this?"
"Yeah," Su Zhihui nodded, and said with a little cunning: "As for whether you say it's useful or not, that's my business."
After saying that, she wrinkled her nose. Does she look like a stupid person? She can still tell whether a person is good or bad to her.
Shen Li shook her head, "I don't have a good solution either."
She couldn't just ask Su Zhihui to wait just because she and she were good friends. What if Fourth Brother failed to pass the imperial examination within the next two years, wouldn't Su Zhihui's time be wasted?
This is ancient times. It is rare for a woman to be unengaged at the age of seventeen. If she delays for another two years, she will really become an old maid.
Although Shen Li doesn't think so, the general environment is like this and she can't change it.
"Ok."
Su Zhihui also understood Shen Li's concerns and touched her stomach. "Ali, I'm so hungry. I only had a little breakfast. Hurry up and give me something delicious."
"Okay, I'll ask someone to bring it to you, just wait."
"I want a fried chicken drumstick."
Shen Li turned around and looked at her, "Aren't you afraid of gaining weight?"
When fried chicken was first introduced, Su Zhihui liked to eat it very much. However, this thing is fried in oil and it is easy to gain weight when eating it.
After eating it about ten times, Su Zhihui found that she had gained a lot of fat on her face. Thinking of what Shen Li had said before, she had no choice but to give it up reluctantly.
"Okay, I'll give you two."
Su Zhihui nodded, "I haven't eaten for a long time. I'm in a bad mood today, so I'll indulge myself."
Shen Li asked someone to send some pastries, milk tea and fried chicken. It would be better if there were potatoes, and French fries would be even more delicious.
The two of them didn't talk about anything else, they just ate and drank, and the morning passed quickly.
Su Zhihui was smiling when she left, but when she returned home and saw the guests at home, the smile on her face instantly disappeared and became expressionless.
Dong Shuang, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but praise in her heart, is this a new skill her young lady has learned? So amazing!
Shen Li had nothing to do in the afternoon, so she planned to go back to Daohua Village to accompany her parents. After all, she had been away for nearly three months, so she should spend more time with them during this time.
When the boat was about to reach the dock of Qingxi County, a large ship was seen coming from behind with the Lu family's name printed on its sails.
That boat was faster and caught up with them in a short while. Shen Li saw Lu Jing standing on the deck.
Shen Li also walked onto the deck. The direction she was heading was obviously towards the dock. She was probably here to find him. When the two boats were parallel, Lu Jing also saw Shen Li on the deck and waved to her.
Shen Li raised her eyebrows slightly, thinking that he really came to find her. She immediately used her Qinggong skills, tiptoed, and arrived at the Lu family's boat in an instant.
"Are you looking for me?"
I was still a little curious about what he was doing during morning self-study. After all, I just saw him two days ago, and I had no idea what it was that was worth him coming here.
"Well, I sent a few ships out to sea two years ago. They came back yesterday with some things I didn't recognize. I remembered some of the things you described before, and they felt very similar, so I brought them here for you to see."
Shen Li's eyes lit up. Could it be that whatever she wished for was coming true?
"Where is the thing?"
"follow me."
Seeing how anxious she was, Lu Jing didn't keep her in suspense and took her to a room.
Shen Li opened the box and unexpectedly the first box was a box of potatoes. The potatoes were not big, and they were a little black and hard.
The corners of my mouth couldn't help but curl up. This is a good thing. It has high yield and is able to resist hunger. It is very suitable for this era.
However, it has not been improved and is not as delicious as the ones in later generations. I wonder if there will be any changes if I grow a few more crops in the space?
"Ali, what is this?"
Seeing her touching the clod of earth in the box lovingly, Lu Jing knew that she definitely recognized this thing.
"It's called potato, you can also call it potato, it can be steamed, boiled, fried, or baked, and it can be cooked in many ways. Most importantly, it has a high yield, high starch content, and a strong sense of satiety."
Lu Jing had a look of shock on his face. He understood what was said just now. Because he understood, his face was full of curiosity. How could this clod of earth in front of him be so powerful?
