"So, I'll just give it a try. If your status is not high enough, then I'll have to discuss it with General Cui. It's not impossible to find General Cui, but it's a little more troublesome to discuss it with him." She also didn't want to have anything to do with General Cui, so Sui He didn't say the last sentence.

"Do you always do things by trial and error? That's too careless." Old Ning was a little speechless. Why did it seem like Sui He was unsure of everything he did? He just kept trying, trying, trying.

"My teacher told me to be brave enough to try, so I just gave it a try."

Sui He was not sure at first. When she gave the things to Li Si, she was waiting. After waiting for several days, Ning Lao came. Sui He was on guard against him at first, but one day when she was cleaning the room, she saw the bone flute that Ning Lao had not collected, and she understood instantly.

Old Ning was General Cui's man, which was why Sui He didn't let him go even after his leg healed. Later, she saw Old Ning sneakily asking Peregrine to deliver a letter at night, and she was even more certain.

"Who is your teacher?" Mr. Ning was particularly interested in who the teacher was. What kind of person could teach such a disciple?

"Don't worry about it. Everything I know is what my teacher taught me." Sui He smiled mysteriously and didn't tell him.

After hearing Sui He say this, Mr. Ning became more interested in the teacher, but seeing that Sui He obviously had no intention of telling him, he could only give up. After all, there was still a lot of time, and he would know one day.

"If you really have the kind of food you said, I will beg for mercy for you even if it costs me my life." Mr. Ning was no longer joking.

Ning Lao knew how important high-yield grain was. He couldn't imagine how prosperous their country would be if they really had that kind of grain and planted it in large quantities.

That night, several carriages entered Qingshan Village quietly and left the village quietly.

Sui He frowned as she looked at the granary, and looked at Old Ning beside her with resentment. The granary was full of grain, but Old Ning had taken most of it away for her.

More than half of it, there were more than 80 bags, but less than 10 bags were left for her. This amount of food was not enough to eat. She also promised to share the food with the villagers.

"Mr. Ning, you are so rude," Sui He gritted his teeth.

"Thank you, thank you." Old Ning smiled happily. If he was not afraid of doing too much and making Sui He angry, he would have wanted to take all of them away. Seeing that there were more than several thousand, there would not be much left if he divided them all.

All of this grain will be used for seeding in the farms around the capital. When the crops are ripe and the quantity is sufficient, they will be distributed to the counties, and then distributed to the farmers.

"Why didn't you plant a few more acres?" Mr. Ning sighed.

"???" Sui He was full of questions: "You really don't treat me as a human being. Even the donkey in the production team wouldn't dare to treat me like this."

The new rice has come down, so of course we have to eat it. Sui He carried half a bag of new rice and walked towards the stone mill at the entrance of the village. The family suddenly lost so much food that the granary was empty.

It was easy to hide the movement of the carriage from other people, but it was a bit troublesome to hide it from grandpa and grandma. Sui He didn't plan to tell grandpa and grandma directly. Of course, Sui He didn't ask about the identity of Mr. Ning. It's better not to know, so that they won't seem restrained when getting along with each other.

After paying taxes on rice produced by other families in the village, they sold the remaining rice and exchanged it for some cheap grain.

Rice is too expensive, they can't afford it, so they sell it and buy other food to eat for a whole year.

Sui He put the hoe rice into a sack and the bran into another bag. These can be used as feed for pigs.

The meal at Suihe's house that day was steamed rice with new rice, served with a plate of braised rice fish, to celebrate the new rice.

"Ahhhh, it's so hot!" Under the eaves, Sui He sat at the door of the main room, fanning himself madly with a palm-leaf fan. The main room was the coolest place in the whole yard.

Because there is a draft

But even with the breeze, Sui He still couldn't stand the heat. Who would wear long sleeves in the summer? Although the clothes were made of thin material, he still wore long sleeves.

"When you are calm, you will feel cooler" Mr. Ning and Grandpa are sitting on a bench in the main hall drinking tea

"It's just a psychological effect. It's actually useless." Sui He replied and then stopped talking. His head drooped.

Who is spending this hot day? Oh, it’s me.

"Okay, stop drooping and drink some water." Grandma brought out a bowl of water.

Suihe took it and took a small sip. The weather was too hot and the plain water had no taste, so he couldn't drink it. He missed the real milk tea and fruit tea.

"Grandma, I'm going out for a while and will be back soon." Sui He seemed to have thought of something, put down the bowl in his hand, picked up his straw hat and basket and walked out

She remembered that there was a kind of wild orange on the back hill, which was already bearing fruit. This kind of wild orange was very sour, very sour. Even when it turned red after ripening, the flesh inside was still a mixture of sour and sweet. This kind of citrus was not ripe yet, so it could not be eaten. She wondered if it could be used to replace lemons to make drinks.

According to his memory, Sui He quickly found the wild orange tree. The tree was full of oranges, which were only the size of walnuts and had dark green skin.

When Sui He saw this kind of orange, her mouth began to secrete saliva. In ancient times, people looked at plums to quench their thirst. Now she looked at oranges to quench her thirst.

Suihe did not delay and stopped after picking four or five.

After picking oranges, I came to the roadside. There was another plant growing on the roadside, Perilla, which has smooth, wide oval leaves and a green-purple color. It can be used with barbecue and grilled fish.

Perilla is especially suitable for grilled meat. In my previous life, I was lucky enough to try it once. How should I put it? I can only say that it is very refreshing, because the meat wrapped in perilla will give you the illusion that you have not eaten meat from beginning to end. It is magical.

I picked a bunch of wheat and put it in a basket and took it home

Wash with clean water, drain the water, put it in a casserole, pour clean water, slowly boil it, boil it for a few minutes, pick out the perilla leaves, and the soup is dark red at this time.

Then he put a piece of maltose in it and boiled it over low heat until it melted. While the pot was boiling, Sui He took out a wild orange from the basket and cut it in half with a knife.

He squeezed out the juice with all his strength and threw away the shrunken wild orange. Seeing that his hand was stained with the juice of the wild orange, Sui He uncontrollably put his hand to his mouth and took a small lick.

The next second, Sui He's face twisted in pain. It was indeed sour. This was not the acidity that humans could accept.

The sugar in the pot had already melted. Sui He poured the soup into the pot, then poured the wild orange juice in. He took a pair of chopsticks and stirred it. The deep red sugar water slowly turned into a beautiful bright red.

Sui He poured a small bowl and took a sip. It tasted sour and sweet, with a strange fragrance. How should I put it? It was not bad to drink anyway.

He smacked his lips, took two teacups, and went to the main room with a kettle.

"Grandpa, grandma, Mr. Ning, stop drinking tea and try this." Sui He stood by the table and poured a cup for each of them.
