Quickly wear and change the fate of the little cannon fodder

Chapter 26 The Little Cannon Fodder in the Escapist Story 26

After saying that, Mrs. Zhou pulled Lord Zhou to sit down and asked them to sit together. Lord Zhou also sat down with his wife and started eating with chopsticks.

I didn't think so at first, but I didn't expect that these dishes were more amazing than the last. One was soft, glutinous and sweet, the fish was fresh, spicy and refreshing, and the other dishes and pancakes were also very tasty, and they looked good and tasted good.

The couple moved their chopsticks faster and faster until they had almost finished eating and could not eat any more.

Suddenly I felt a little rude, so after rinsing my mouth, I sat down without changing my expression and continued the previous topic.

Cheng Feng told the whole story of how he fled to the mountains to escape famine, where he settled down, where he found grain seeds, how he planted them, and how high the yield was.

Lord Zhou listened calmly at first, his eyes becoming brighter and brighter, until he heard that the grain yield was 2,000 kilograms per mu, Lord Zhou almost jumped up.

"If what you said is true, you are not allowed to lie to me. This is not a joke." Lord Zhou suddenly became serious and stared at Cheng Feng.

"It's absolutely true. We have won for five years, and the output has been the same every year. I guarantee it with my life. Not a single word of lies." Cheng Feng looked back and answered affirmatively.

"Have you brought back the grain? What does it look like? How does it taste?" Lord Zhou asked anxiously. He had been in a high position for many years and knew the importance of grain. If this was true, it would be a great event that would benefit future generations.

"My husband and I have limited resources, so we only brought a small amount with us. What we just treated Mr. and Mrs. Zhou to was some of the food we grew. The rest is in the house I rented."

"Is the food really made from new grain? It still tastes so delicious." Isn't it said that things that are harvested in large quantities are generally not very delicious?

"It's true. It was made by my wife herself. She knows many ways to cook it. It can be used as a dish or a staple food. It's very filling. The environment for growing it is not very picky either."

Lord Zhou asked many times, and after confirming again and again that nothing was missed, he was very excited, and immediately ordered the butler to prepare a car, and asked Cheng Feng to lead the way to move the grain from Cheng Feng's house. He walked out anxiously, and he also wanted to take the grain to the palace to meet the emperor!

Mr. Zhou left at a brisk pace. Su Xiaoxiao didn't say anything the whole time. She had to say goodbye and follow Mrs. Zhou. Mrs. Zhou also knew the importance of this matter and didn't try to keep them. She had to say, "Excuse me, please come and visit me often when you have time."

The carriage drove quickly to the yard where Cheng Feng rented a house. Su Xiaoxiao had already put several kilograms of peppers, sweet potatoes and potatoes. Each weighed more than 20 kilograms, and three pumpkins in the kitchen.

Mr. Zhou quickly ordered the servant to carefully carry these onto the carriage, then stopped after thinking for a moment. He asked Su Xiaoxiao to make him another portion of the meal they had eaten before, and he wanted to take it away.

Su Xiaoxiao had no choice but to make another portion immediately. Lord Zhou kept watching her cook, and even the jar of chopped peppers she used to make fish head with chopped peppers was taken away.

Cheng Feng and his wife watched Master Zhou leave in a hurry and smiled helplessly. Then there must be benefits after discussion. What benefits are better? In the end, it was also discussed by the two families.

They don't want an official position, but money, or a house, or the hill they live in. If possible, they should conceal their identities, because their contribution is too great for them to protect.

They have no backing and no family background, so they don't want to be left with money but no life to spend it. After they have discussed everything and have a clear idea in their mind, they just need to wait for Lord Zhou to call them.

However, they didn't have to wait long. The next day, after the court session, Lord Zhou drove a carriage to pick them up. Originally, they thought that Cheng Feng was going alone, but unexpectedly, Lord Zhou also wanted Su Xiaoxiao to go with him.

But he had to wait outside the palace and could only enter when the emperor summoned him. Su Xiaoxiao was speechless. Why should he enter the palace if he was not allowed to enter?

She was waiting outside bored, thinking that she had been an ordinary person for two lifetimes, but she never thought she would have such good fortune. She might even meet the country's top leader, which was the highlight of her life!

No, she had to stay calm. She was also a person who had seen the world, unlike other ordinary people! That was not right either. The highest authority in this world held the power of life and death. It was like crushing an ant to death. If she was not careful, she would have to be careful of her entire clan. She could not speak carelessly, but had to be careful and respectful.

I made a lot of mental preparations in a mess, and two hours later, when I was hungry and a little sleepy, I waited for Lord Zhou and Cheng Feng to come out.

Well, there was no need to call her in at all. She had waited for so long in vain and was sent out of the palace without even having a meal. And she couldn't even complain. Su Xiaoxiao wanted to curse in her heart.

It was not until the couple returned home that they found Cheng Feng was soaked. It turned out that he was also scared and nervous. Su Xiaoxiao didn't say anything, and immediately went to cook. After a full meal, she took a shower and went to bed.

It was a stressful, frightening, tiring and hungry day. They decided to wait until they woke up to think about anything. They would know what was going on sooner or later anyway, so they slept soundly with peace of mind.

It was already evening when he woke up, and Cheng Feng spoke, "Xiaoxiao, we succeeded. In a few days, the emperor will send a team of people and officials from the Ministry of Agriculture to go back with us to transport the grain seeds! Originally, the emperor said he would confer an official title, and also said that if the yield is really that high, he could even confer a title of nobility.

But I refused. Seeing that I really didn't want to be an official, he rewarded me with a two-story house in the capital, a farm in the suburbs of the capital, 100,000 taels of silver, and promised to keep our identities secret.

But we had to hand over the planting methods to the people in the Agriculture Department. We did it, and the mountain became ours."

Cheng Feng also mustered up the courage to refuse an emperor. Seeing the emperor's dark face, he was almost scared to death. The emperor thought that they were ungrateful. Cheng Feng explained tremblingly and the emperor finally agreed.

"That's great. Did the emperor say when we will set off?" It has been more than two months since Su Xiaoxiao and the others came out, and he really missed the children.

"We don't know yet. Let's wait for notification. Let's buy some things in the next few days. We won't have to worry about what we can take back with us."

Next, Su Xiaoxiao started shopping, buying gifts for adults and children, as well as some delicious food and specialties that were not available anywhere else. They didn't stop until Lord Zhou came to notify them.

They will leave tomorrow, and finally go back. Perhaps considering that they have a lot of things to carry back, or to act secretly, a team has already set out, and will wait for them in their local town to gather together before going to the mountains.

There were five people accompanying Su Xiaoxiao and her companions, four of whom were officials from the Ministry of Agriculture, and one was a royal chef. Originally, it was thought that this chef was cooking for them on the way.

It turned out that they were not learning how to cook from Su Xiaoxiao. They had heard that Su Xiaoxiao knew how to cook many new crops, and the emperor liked the dishes he sent very much. And those officials were learning how to grow new crops from Cheng Feng.
