Since the three-hundred-day countdown began, Su Chengnan's life has become busy and stressful.

The current situation in Ningguta was still unknown, so all preparations were based on previous information. The key was to raise money. She felt that as long as she had money, everything would be fine.

Lu Chaofeng shared the same idea. As the people sent to collect grain gradually returned, they received news that grain prices were rising. The wealthy families had already begun hoarding grain, and the amount of grain available on the market was dwindling, making life increasingly difficult for the common people.

Zhan Xiao still hadn't found Sun Liangyuan, and had already left Luocheng and returned to Beijing today. With his departure, Su Chengnan and his group finally put their worries to rest.

"Mother, just stay in the villa for the next few days. My elder sister and I will be able to get things done soon, and then we will hurry up and set off."

"Yeah. Be careful."

Han leaned on the couch, and Nanny Han stood behind her, rubbing her temples. She closed her eyes quietly and didn't even open her eyelids when she spoke.

"Okay, mother." Su Linhua nodded, but in fact she didn't understand what Han was reminding them to be careful about.

Su Chengnan, who was standing next to her, heard what she heard and continued, "Mother, do you think there's something wrong with Lu Chaofeng?" After she finished speaking, she stared at Han's face, trying to find something from her expression.

But Han still didn't react. She just waved her hand and said, "The child is grown up now. You all have your own thoughts. Just be careful about everything. Go and get busy."

Su Chengnan and Su Linhua looked at each other, and Nanny Han looked up with a complicated expression.

Su Chengnan's eyes flashed, "Okay, then we'll get busy first. Mother, take care of yourself."

After leaving the house, Su Linhua lowered her voice and asked, "Why do I feel like there's something else behind her words?"

"Yeah, I think so too."

"Then..." Su Linhua hesitated to speak.

Su Chengnan smiled easily, "It's okay. Now that Lu Chaofeng wants to use us, he naturally won't do anything to us. Things like discarding the donkey after it has done its job usually mean that the donkey is no longer valuable."

"Well, then I'll do what I have to do. I don't care."

"Okay, what are you going to teach today?"

"I've finished teaching dim sum. Today I'm going to teach Mom how to make pig's trotter soup and kiln-baked chicken."

Su Chengnan's eyes lit up, and he inexplicably missed the taste he had eaten in Chuan Mansion before, "Leave me a bowl of pig's foot soup!"

"That is required."

……

Tieniu Village at the foot of Yinmeng Mountain.

Today, Sun Liangyuan took Goudan to teach in the woods.

Of course, Goudan still had a lot of work to do! His mother had weak legs and feet, and his father was seriously ill in bed. The family couldn't do without a young son like him.

Sun Liangyuan wanted to teach him to read and learn some things related to arithmetic, so they could only rely on the two of them to squeeze in time together.

"Teacher, I already know everything you taught me yesterday. Shall we learn something else today?"

"Reviewing the old is the way to learn the new. Biting off more than you can chew."

"Goudan chewed it up! Goudan is hungry, and there's nothing he can't chew as long as there's food."

The boy touched his belly, which was shriveled and without any oil or water.

Sun Liangyuan sighed. He had been there for three days, and Goudan said every day that he wanted to kill a chicken. Unfortunately, there was only one old laying hen at home. Even he, who never cooked, knew that he couldn't kill it. It was better to keep it laying eggs than to eat it.

Oh, I want to eat meat.

My stomach is empty.

An old man and a young man sighed at the same time.

The two continued walking forward, over the hillside, and came into view of a wall. Goudan ran wildly with the bamboo basket on his back, and Sun Liangyuan followed him, shouting frantically, "Why are you running? Slow down!"

"It smells so good!"

"Sir, come quickly!"

"It's the smell of meat, the smell of chicken!!"

Goudan was small, and with his short legs, he quickly rushed to the wall. He squatted on the ground and sniffed for a while, then followed the scent and pulled away the weeds, and a dog hole appeared before his eyes.

He bent down and tried to squeeze in, but Sun Liangyuan stomped his feet in anger behind him.

"Goudan! What are you doing!?"

"If you do anything sneaky today, I will no longer recognize you as my student."

Sun Liangyuan was so angry that his beard stood up. He had never taught a student from a poor family before, let alone a real country boy like Goudan. If this child really broke the bottom line of being a human being because of a chicken, then he felt that all his teaching over the years would be in vain.

Goudan's little head had already drilled into the hole. After hearing Sun Liangyuan's words, he stopped moving, paused for a few seconds, and then silently retreated.

"Sir, please don't be angry. Goudan knows he was wrong."

"Goudan just wants to eat chicken so badly..."

The child lowered his head, twisted his fingers, and looked back at the dog hole reluctantly. As if he had made a great decision, he said, "I'll plug the hole."

"Well, move quickly."

"Yes."

Goudan squatted down again and piled the grass back at the entrance of the cave. He shrugged as he did so and muttered to himself, "This chicken must be delicious! The chickens roasted by the villagers have never been this fragrant. I really want to have a bite. Just one bite will do."

Although Sun Liangyuan is old, his nose has not deteriorated at all. In addition, he is also a very picky foodie. Naturally, he can tell from the aroma that this chicken must be extraordinary.

Alas... What a pity! This villa obviously belongs to a wealthy family. It would be nice if it were a restaurant. What a pity!

……

at this time.

In the courtyard separated by a wall.

Su Linhua was squatting on the ground with his men, digging up the dirt.

"You all remember this."

"This dish is called beggar's chicken!"

"Don't look at it covered in mud now, but it's delicious! Fresh, juicy and full of flavor."

Before she finished speaking, the sound of swallowing saliva was heard behind her.

Just opened two, both are very good.

As long as the mud of the third one is still good after being knocked open, it will be considered a success.

Lu Chaofeng's housekeeper, Xu Bo, squatted down and wanted to help: "Miss, how about I, an old servant, do it? This thing looks dusty and hot."

"It's okay, I'm quick."

"Then be careful."

Although Su Linhua talks excitedly, she actually has no experience.

When beggar's chicken suddenly became popular, she filmed a video about making it to capitalize on the buzz! After two attempts, the third one was a success. The video went viral, earning her a small profit. However, this dish was indeed very suitable for making in ancient times.

Su Chengnan and Lu Chaofeng came out of the study at the right time.

Just as she arrived, Su Linhua used a delicate little hammer to knock open the mud on the outside of the last beggar chicken.

"It smells so good." Su Chengnan was a little hungry.

"Yeah, it smells really good." Lu Chaofeng agreed.

But at this moment,

Suddenly, a scream was heard from behind the wall of the villa!

"what--"

"Sir, what's wrong with you?"
