The Gu family was actually a little at a loss when they saw Xie Tingzhou coming over suddenly.

They were all native country people and had never seen a so-called nobleman before Xie Tingzhou.

Xie Tingzhou is the heir of a centuries-old family. He has a natural nobility, even though he has humbled himself and tried his best to please everyone in the Gu family.

But it still gave people a feeling of being superior and unapproachable. For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was a little heavy, and everyone didn't know how to talk.

However, the awkward atmosphere in the air disappeared the moment the hot and sour noodles came out of the pot!

Everyone got the food they had been waiting for, and couldn’t help but go to the dining table and start eating!

The soup is rich! Spicy and fresh! The vermicelli is chewy!

After slurping a few mouthfuls and taking a sip of the soup, even the hair looks beautiful!

Gu Yiyao brought two bowls of hot and sour noodles to find her mother. She was her mother's caring little cotton-padded jacket, although she was a little leaky occasionally!

But most of them still care about their beautiful mother!

When Gu Yichen saw his sister going to find their mother, he wanted to follow her, but Gu Yiyao kicked him back.

What's wrong with you, a man, hanging around with us women all day long?

Gu Yichen stayed behind feeling somewhat aggrieved, his eyes fixed on Xie Tingzhou. He wanted to keep a close eye on this man!

"This hot and sour noodle is so delicious! I want to swallow my tongue!"

Gu Yubai ate while praising sincerely.

Wang Maolin nodded repeatedly:

“This is the best meal I’ve ever had in my life!”

The Gu family looked at Wang Maolin curiously while eating. Xie Tingzhou and Xie Yun all knew him, so who was this person?

But as soon as you see the official uniform he's wearing, you can tell he's a powerful man!

Xie Yun was eating hard, staring at the stove while eating, ready to get the next bowl!

Wang Maolin caught a glimpse of his actions out of the corner of his eye and didn't bother to say anything, just slurped the noodles!

Even though they were scalded, they were reluctant to spit it out, and they rushed to get a second bowl.

The Gu family was stunned by what they saw. If they didn’t know, they would have thought this was their home!

So the Gu family instantly forgot their reservedness and slurped up the noodles without giving in!

Wang Maolin and Xie Yun’s plan to get the third bowl fell through!

Although Xie Tingzhou had never eaten hot and sour noodles, he thought they were delicious and sour.

But he was a very restrained and polite person, and he was particular about chewing his food slowly, so the pot was empty before he finished the first bowl.

He just ate one bowl and stopped.

Feeling very regretful, he looked at Xie Yun coldly, this glutton who forgot his master as soon as he saw food!

Xie Yun touched his nose feeling guilty and said, "You eat slowly, so why are you blaming me?"

After eating two big bowls of hot and sour noodles, Wang Maolin forgot all the resentment about being dragged to this remote place by Xie Tingzhou early in the morning!

He touched his round belly contentedly, and even felt like he was as good as a god!

After eating and drinking, Wang Maolin finally had the mind to look at the Gu family. What he saw was amazing!

Surprisingly, all the members of the Gu family look very energetic. Although they wear coarse linen clothes from the countryside, looking at their spirits, they are as energetic as many nobles in the capital.

Everyone seems to have an indescribable... aura.

Wang Maolin pondered for a long time before he came up with the word "spiritual" to describe the Gu family.

Wang Maolin's eyes flashed, and he said that not everyone could look up to the Marquis of Yongchang, so this Gu family must have something outstanding!

"I have never heard of such delicious food before. Can you tell me what it is?"

Wang Maolin looked at Gu Xiucai expectantly and asked.

Upon hearing this, Gu Xiucai looked at Gu Yulang and signaled him to speak.

He understood that this was the opportunity for his eldest son that his granddaughter had mentioned.

My granddaughter said that from now on, she would say that the idea of ​​improving the soil and planting sweet potatoes was proposed by her eldest son.

It is said that this is the ladder to heaven for his eldest son!

Gu Yulang received a hint from his father and understood that the reason why his niece taught him the method of soil improvement was to help him have a future.

So he didn't hesitate, but spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant manner:

"Your Excellency, this is hot and sour rice noodle, made from an edible food that I accidentally found in the field."

"Oh?! What kind of thing can make such delicious food? I want to see it!"

Wang Maolin became more interested when he heard this. He was in charge of the agriculture of the entire Deng Dynasty and was instinctively sensitive to such things.

After hearing this, Gu Yubai dug out two big sweet potatoes from the stove ashes with a bit of pain in his heart. He threw them in when he was cooking the hot and sour noodles.

"Sir, this is the sweet potato my elder brother was talking about."

As soon as Wang Maolin smelled the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes, his eyes lit up and he looked at the roasted sweet potatoes in Gu Yubai's hand!

Seeing Gu Yubai handing it over, he grabbed the roasted sweet potato in his hand and was about to start eating it. He glanced at Xie Tingzhou who was sitting next to him, hesitated for a moment, and finally handed him a roasted sweet potato with a distressed look on his face!

Then I picked up the roasted sweet potato and started eating it!

As soon as Wang Maolin took a bite of the sweet and soft roasted sweet potato, he regretted why he had given one to Xie Tingzhou out of fear of the power of the Xie family!

He should not fear power and be a real man of steel!

Wow~, this roasted sweet potato is so delicious!

Xie Yun had never smelled such a sweet and delicious taste. Looking at Wang Maolin who was enjoying the food, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva!

Xie Tingzhou looked at Xie Yun's useless appearance and handed him the roasted sweet potato with a look of disgust. Wang Maolin wanted to snatch it, but how could Xie Yun let him succeed? He tiptoed to the branch in the yard and started eating!

Wang Maolin didn't know any martial arts and could only continue to chew the sweet potato in his hand with an unwilling look on his face!

The Gu family members looked at each other in confusion. Although they knew that the roasted sweet potatoes were delicious, these noble people had seen all kinds of delicious food. Why did they look more excited than the first time they ate roasted sweet potatoes?

Wang Maolin ate a big baked sweet potato cleanly before speaking with a satisfied look:

"It must be very troublesome to grow such delicious food. How much can one acre of land produce? Can it produce half a stone?"

He decided that if an acre of land could produce half a stone, he would use all the fields on his farm to grow sweet potatoes!

He knew very well that this kind of food with low per-acre yield could not be promoted throughout the Great Deng Dynasty.

After all, if more people grow sweet potatoes, fewer people will benefit from that crop, and food prices will soar again next year, which will be extremely disadvantageous for the common people.

"This kind of sweet potato is easy to grow. If it is planted in a field with improved soil fertility, it can produce about 40 dan per mu. Even if it is planted in an ordinary field, it can produce 10 dan per mu."

Gu Yulang was still polite and neither humble nor arrogant, as if he had no idea how damaging his words could be to others.

"How many?!!!"

Wang Maolin almost fell off his chair. He picked his ears with his hands, and the sound was sharper than ever!

Even Xie Tingzhou, who usually had a blank expression, showed a look of shock.

Xie Yun looked at Gu Yulang with a bewildered look!

Did he just hear something? What 40 dan? 40 dan per mu? !!!

Xie Yun looked at Gu Yulang in disbelief, his face clearly showing "I have little education, so don't lie to me."
