Chapter 180： Potato

Chapter 180 Potatoes

Suddenly, a man's voice came from outside.

The three of them went out to have a look, and saw Long Lianqi standing at the door with four officials.

Qiu was startled, Nangong Anshan shouldn't be so stingy, she just showed her favor in the past, so she wants to send officials to arrest her, right?

Qiu stepped forward with a smile and said, "Guan Ye, I don't know why you came to see us?"

Long Lianqi said with a straight face: "We went to Nangong Miao's house just now, but she was not there. We heard that she was with you, so we rushed over."

"Looking for me?" Nangong Miao felt an ominous premonition.

Long Lianqi said: "Of course, you shouldn't forget that last time you and your daughter framed your second brother's family together, you didn't go to the torture because you were pregnant, now you still have the energy to find other people's unhappiness, your body They must have all recovered. If that's the case, then come with us, there are still a hundred big boards waiting for you."

Nan Gongmiao's face turned pale, and she asked tremblingly, "At the beginning, each of my daughters received 50 slaps. Why did they get 100 slaps when they came to me?"

"Is there a need to ask?" Long Lianqi said: "Your daughter is not yet an adult, but you are an adult. You don't need to think about it. You must have supported it behind the scenes. If you don't support it, your daughter They will not make mistakes, so your responsibility is heavier, and naturally you have to suffer more."

Nangong Miao suddenly knelt down towards Long Lianqi, crying and said: "My lord, the woman's body has just recovered not long ago, I really can't bear a hundred boards, please forgive me."

She has been taking care of her body recently, hoping to get pregnant again and give birth to a son.

Now that she is going to be tortured again, wouldn't she have to wait a few more months to get pregnant?

If the one hundred boards hurt her fundamentals this time, then it is impossible for her to have a son again in this life.

Long Lianqi sneered: "Now you know how to ask for mercy? What did you do long ago? You are so afraid of being punished, why do you want to frame people?"

"I know I was wrong. If I knew that there would be such serious consequences, even if I was killed, I would not frame anyone."

Long Lianqi said: "If you know you are wrong, go to the punishment, and then change your mind and be a good person. I will not talk nonsense with you, come here, tie her up for me, and send her to the county government."

"Yes."

Qiu hurriedly said: "Officer, please spare my daughter, she is too old and really can't stand a hundred boards."

Long Lianqi said: "If you beg again, I will treat you as the main criminal and send them to the county government together."

Qiu suddenly didn't dare to say more.

Nangong Miaoya was quickly taken away.

Nangong Cai saw Qiu's very sad look, and said with relief: "Aniang, you won't die with a hundred boards, but you will suffer a little bit, so you should take it easy."

Qiu cried and said: "But A Miao was injured, and her family didn't have much money. Even the money to build the house was scraped together. I'm worried that Dai Dahe will despise her again."

Nangong Cai said helplessly: "Aniang, what do you want to do?"

Qiu said: "Ah Cai, you can lend some money to A Niang. The money will be used for your second sister's medical treatment. After I receive the filial money from your second and third younger brothers, I will return it to you immediately. Why? Sample?"

Nangong Cai hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Aniang, how much do you want to borrow? Let me tell you first, I don't have much, and you know my family's situation."

Qiu hurriedly said: "Not much, just five taels of silver."

"Five taels? Isn't that much? My family doesn't even have five taels of silver."

"Then how much do you have? Lend it all to me."

"Two taels, no more. It's winter now, and I need to save some money for the New Year."

"Okay, two taels is two taels, you can give them all to me when you go back."

Nangong Cai had no choice but to go home to get the money.

…

And Nangong Anshan waited for Qiu to leave, and after preparing the things for the guests to take away, she began to fiddle with sweet potatoes in her laboratory.

Li Wang stood at the window and looked at it for a while, then asked: "Miss Nangong, are you planning to make sweet potatoes for fresh food?"

Nangong Anshan said: "It's okay, but it won't be done in a while, and it will take some time. When it's done, I'll ask Feng Yi to send some to you."

Li Wang was a little embarrassed at once, and said with a smile: "You're welcome, I'm just asking. I have something else to do, so I'll leave with A Xu."

Nangong Anshan said: "Okay, then you can come and play anytime."

"it is good."

"Wait a minute, I'm going to get something."

After Nangong Anshan finished speaking, she ordered someone to take out the things in the kitchen and put them in Uncle Wang's carriage.

Li Wang asked: "Miss Nangong, what are you..."

Nangong Anshan said: "Those are some foods I prepared, including moon cakes, crystal cakes, fried walnuts, and some grapefruits and winter dates. Both grapefruits and winter dates are the fruits of the trees in my yard, and they bear a lot. I think the taste is not bad. I divided those things into three parts. One for A Xu, one for Uncle Wang, and one for His Royal Highness Li Wang."

Dugu Huanxu said: "His Highness Li Wang also has?"

"Yes." Nangong Anshan said: "I like reciprocating gifts. He has given me so many things, so I should return them."

Li Wang smiled and said: "Okay, then I will thank you instead of Li Wang."

After the guests left, Nangong Anshan continued to make her dried sweet potatoes and starch.

Sweet potato starch is excellent. Some of the dishes she wants to cook must use starch. With starch, many dishes can become more delicious.

The family saw that she was continuing to tinker with sweet potatoes, and knew that she must be researching new foods, so they ignored her.

The next day, the greenhouse that Nangong Anshan asked Cao Zhenya to find someone to build has also been set up.

At this time, Cao Zhenya also brought people to the backyard of the sugar factory, and Nangong Anshan said that she was waiting for them there.

Nangong Anshan heard someone at the door, quickly opened the door, saw the person, and said: "You are here, I have prepared all the things to plant, this is it."

Cao Zhenya followed Nangong Anshan's line of sight, saw that there were several baskets of things she didn't know, and asked, "What is this?"

Nangong Anshan said: "I found this in the mountains. After eating it, it tasted good, so I dug some out. They look like beans, and I named them potatoes."

"I cut these into pieces like this. I tested them before. When the potato pieces germinate, they can be used as seeds."

"Potatoes?" Cao Zhenya said, "Is this really edible?"

"Yes." Nangong Anshan smiled and said, "Aunt Cao, I asked you to plant so many things, but one of them is white?"
