Armed with a machete and a gun, armed with a system, they fled the famine.

Chapter 442 These Bastards

"Young Master Shen is too kind."

Zhou Hu, Zhou Xiong, and the others quickly raised their glasses to toast Shen Yu in return.

Zhao Yan, Tian Xiu'e, and other women and children were much more relaxed.

They weren't originally eating at the same table as the men.

Zhao Yan fed Xiao Fu Niu a bite of fish, and then peeled shrimp for Xiao Fu Bao. Although she was busy, she was organized and efficient.

Zhao Xiaomi, a few years older, was able to feed herself and was eating next to Chen Qingjiao, chatting and laughing.

Zhao Yunchen and his two brothers ate at the same table as Zhao Yan and the others. Zhao Yunchen was responsible for looking after his two younger brothers and Yuan Tianbao.

Tian Xiu'e only needs to take care of herself and her youngest son.

They ate quietly at their table, a stark contrast to the men's table, where they were clinking glasses and exchanging toasts.

Yang Sanlang glanced at Zhao Yan from a distance and grinned at her.

Zhao Yan couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

He was laughing like an idiot, and I had no idea what he was laughing about.

They were quite reserved and polite during the meal.

The lobby downstairs was a different story; it was noisy and bustling, like a crowded market.

The villagers of Huaihua Village forgot the promises they had made in front of the village head as they ate, shoveling food into their mouths as if they hadn't eaten in centuries.

On the one hand, they were hungry, and on the other hand, the food in this restaurant was just too delicious and fragrant.

It's that Kung Pao Chicken, and that braised pork ribs with potatoes, and braised pork belly with potatoes.

Before this, they had never heard of it, never seen it, let alone eaten it.

The moment this dish was served, even before we tasted it, the aroma alone told us it must be delicious.

As a result, many villagers started arguing because they didn't get to eat a single dish.

When the waiter at the restaurant saw that people were fighting over a meal, he quickly went upstairs to invite the owner.

"These bastards!"

Zhou Hu, who was nearby, heard about this and was so angry that he gritted his teeth and immediately went downstairs to reprimand the villagers.

The villagers of Huaihua Village were reprimanded by the village head and finally behaved themselves.

Zhou Hu cupped his hands in apology to Shen Yu and said, "Young Master Shen, I'm really sorry. They're all good-for-nothings. Please don't take them to heart. I've already reprimanded them. Anyone who dares to cause trouble again will be kicked out."

Shen Yu waved his hand dismissively and said with a smile, "It's alright, it's nothing. I heard from the servant that everyone was arguing because they didn't get any food. In that case, I'll have the servant bring everyone another serving. Everyone can eat whatever they want today."

Upon hearing this, the villagers of Huaihua Village immediately clapped and cheered enthusiastically.

"Excellent! Young Master Shen is truly magnanimous!"

"Yes, yes, yes! If Young Master Shen's restaurant doesn't make money, I'll change my surname!"

"Please take your time eating."

Shen Yu smiled politely at everyone and returned to the private room on the second floor with Zhou Hu.

After this commotion, the restaurant immediately saw a surge of customers.

A steady stream of people walked into the restaurant, specifically requesting to try the braised pork with potatoes.

They could smell it from a great distance.

Out of curiosity, and also caught up in the lively scene in the lobby, people wondered if this stewed potato and pork rib soup with braised pork must be particularly delicious, otherwise why would these people fight over a dish?

Therefore, almost everyone who went to the restaurant ordered a dish related to potatoes.

The restaurant's limited stock of potatoes was almost completely used up.

Fortunately, the people who came in later stopped insisting on ordering potatoes, and the chef in the restaurant finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Today is the restaurant's first day of business. It would be such a shame to lose a large number of customers because we don't have all the dishes.

Zhao Yan didn't care about any of that; she was only responsible for taking care of the mother and her two children.

After eating and drinking their fill, they sat for a while, had a cup of tea, and then left.

They had no choice but to leave; more and more wealthy people were coming because of its reputation.

In order not to disturb Shen Yu's business, they quickly left.

Shen Yu had to keep an eye on the business, so he had no choice but to stay in town.

Dou Xingyan still squeezed into a horse-drawn carriage with Zhao Yan and the others to return to the farm.

In the late afternoon, Shen Yu suddenly returned in a great hurry.

"Sister Zhao, how many potatoes do you have left? I'll take them all."

In the afternoon, the restaurant welcomed another wave of customers, all of whom were well-off and had come specifically because of its reputation.

When we arrived at the restaurant, they specifically requested dishes related to potatoes, and ordered two of each.

And it's required for every customer who enters the store.

Shen Yu didn't bring many potatoes from the capital to begin with. After using them up at noon, there weren't many left in the kitchen. Then the guests wanted more in the afternoon, so he got anxious.

It was clearly not feasible to send potatoes from the capital now, so he had no choice but to hurry back to the farm and ask Zhao Yan if she had any potatoes left.

Zhao Yan's eyes flickered slightly, and she gave Yang Sanlang beside her a wink.

Yang Sanlang immediately stepped forward and said to Shen Yu, "There are still potatoes at home. Don't worry, sit down and have some tea to soothe your throat. Yan'er and I will go and get the potatoes ready for you right now."

After saying that, he pressed Shen Yu into a chair and poured him a cup of hot tea.

Shen Yu was preoccupied with potatoes; he had no interest in drinking tea.

He was about to refuse when he saw Zhao Yan stuff the little baby in her arms into his arms.

"That's right, you're all sweaty from running, hurry up and sit down and have some tea."

"Here, keep an eye on Xiao Fubao for me. Your Brother Yang and I will be right back."

After saying that, she gave Yang Sanlang a look, then turned and left the study.

Uh--

this--

Shen Yu stared in astonishment at the little baby in his arms, their eyes meeting.

Little Lucky Baby: ……

mother--

father--

Zhao Yan and Yang Sanlang hurriedly arrived at the room where the potatoes were stored.

This room is warm in winter and cool in summer, making it ideal for storing potatoes and sweet potatoes. Therefore, Zhao Yan left it empty and used it specifically to store potatoes and sweet potatoes.

She came to the southern corner and looked at Yang Sanlang.

"There aren't many potatoes left, I need to take some out. Could you keep an eye on things outside for me?"

Yang Sanlang nodded: "Mm."

Having received a response, Zhao Yan disregarded the situation outside and, in a flash, thousands of pounds of potatoes appeared on the open ground in front of her.

Of the potatoes planted in the second season, some were sent to restaurants in the capital by Shen Yu, and some were eaten by them. The remaining potatoes weighed only about one or two thousand catties.

It's unlikely that a thousand or two kilograms of potatoes will last until next summer or autumn, so she has to take them out in advance, so that she has a reason to send them away.

She wasn't worried at all that Yuan Yutang and the others would find that there were suddenly many more potatoes in the house.

Since Tian Xiu'e became pregnant and gave birth, Yang Sanlang has been in charge of cooking at home.

Moreover, the potatoes were always stored with her; the potatoes for Yuan Yutang, Tian Xiue, and others were delivered to them by Yang Sanlang at her request.

Nobody knows exactly how many potatoes she has.

This time, she took out two thousand catties of potatoes all at once and mixed them with the original one thousand catties, so that they were basically indistinguishable.

"Alright, you can start packing the potatoes now."

Having done all this, Zhao Yan prepared to leave.
