Chapter 437 I can’t understand this little girl’s thoughts

"Mr. Mo... Your Majesty, why did you come to us in person? I'm really scared that I've missed you from afar."

Mo Beihan supported the old village chief who was about to kneel and kowtow, and said:

"Village chief, you don't have to be polite! You should call me Mr. Mo! I'm here to thank everyone for taking me in. These small gifts are not respectful, so I hope you will accept them."

The old village chief looked at the carts piled high with grain, vegetables, meat, medicinal materials, etc., and simply didn't know what to say:

"Young Master has already sent people to help us build roads and houses. He has helped us a lot. We, the people of Qingshui Village, should be the ones to thank you."

The two were still being polite to each other. When they heard the commotion, Mrs. Qiao, who carried Xiaoba out of the tent, greeted: "Why are you standing outside talking? Come in, sit down and have a cup of tea!"

Having met General Zheng and Mrs. Zheng, Mrs. Qiao can be considered a little old lady who has seen the world.

Facing the heir apparent of the Dingbei Palace, whose life was saved twice by his granddaughter despite his distinguished status, Mrs. Qiao was not so restrained.

Several people entered Qiao's tent and sat around the brazier talking.

Although the weather is gradually getting warmer and there is no need to make a fire anymore, the Qiao family has become accustomed to lighting a basin of charcoal in the tent with a wire shelf on top.

You can boil water to make tea on the wire grill, or place potatoes, sweet potatoes, taro, chestnuts, etc. on it to roast and eat it. If you want to eat fruit but feel it is too cold, you can also bake it on the wire grill and eat it again. It is very convenient. .

Roasted potatoes, sweet potatoes, taro, chestnuts, etc. can be picked up and eaten at any time. They are hot and fragrant, and the little ones especially love them.

As soon as the ghost doctor sat down, he smelled the sweet smell wafting in the air. He couldn't wait to reach out to pick up a potato on the grill. He was so burned that he quickly took his hand back and blew it on his hand. gas.

Qiao Ran speechlessly took a pair of bamboo tongs, picked up the roasted potatoes, sweet potatoes, taro, chestnuts, etc. and put them on a plate.

The ghost doctor's hands were red and painful from being burned, but luckily there were no blisters.

But he ignored the pain. He grabbed a potato and shook it left and right in his hand a few times to dissipate the heat. He couldn't wait to peel it off and put it in his mouth.

"Hiss! What is this? It's soft and delicious. But why doesn't it smell as sweet as the one I smell?"

Qiao Ran smiled and pointed to a few sweet potatoes on the plate: "This sweet potato is fragrant and sweet. The one you eat is a potato, which is not as sweet as a sweet potato."

Mo Beihan picked up a sweet potato, peeled off the burnt and wrinkled outer skin, and took a bite in his mouth. A rich and sweet taste immediately filled his mouth.

He couldn't help but nod and praise: "These sweet potatoes are really delicious, soft, fragrant and sweet, as sweet as eating candy."

After hearing this, Butler Zhou reached out and took out a sweet potato. As soon as he imported it, his eyes widened: "This is a sweet potato? Why is it so sweet? This is so delicious! I have never tasted something so fragrant and soft. Such sweet sweet potatoes!”

Qiao Ran smiled and said: "This is called sweet potato, which is a sweet potato that is as sweet as honey, and this is the most fragrant and sweetest tobacco potato among sweet potatoes. It is especially delicious when roasted. We grow a lot of them in our village, and Zhou Uncle, if you like to eat, I will give you some to eat when the time comes."

Butler Zhou smiled from ear to ear when he heard this: "Okay, okay! I love eating these sweet potatoes, so I'll wait for the sweet potatoes you grow."

Seeing Butler Zhou smiling so happily, Qiao Ran continued: "It's not just sweet potatoes, Uncle Zhou, I also grow a lot of delicious melons and fruits here. They are all the seeds, seedlings, etc. I collected along the way. I want to try to grow them in the devil." Plant it in the valley, and when it is harvested, I will give you some, and I guarantee that many of them will be things you have never eaten."

Butler Zhou had no doubts and smiled even more heartily: "Well, thanks to you, I have eaten a lot of delicacies that I have never tasted before. People say that the capital is the capital of a country, and here is where all the delicacies of Dai Viet are gathered, but The delicacies you eat here are not available in the capital. If you open a gourmet shop in the capital, the business will definitely be booming."

Qiao Ran thought for a while and said, "I'm not interested in making delicious food. It's too tiring. However, I would like to open a shop in the capital and sell all kinds of delicious fruits and vegetables in the shop. This will also serve Qingshui." The folks in the village take care of their worries, they just plant it carefully, and I take it to the city to sell it."

Seeing that she really had plans to open a shop, Housekeeper Zhou became interested and discussed with her what kind of shop to open, where to open it, and how to open it.

The ghost doctor was not interested in these business matters. He just buried his head and ate all the delicious food on the plate. He also took his favorite sweet potatoes and chestnuts and put them on the shelf to bake.

Mo Beihan exchanged a few words with Mrs. Qiao. Xiaoba became a little noisy, so Mrs. Qiao took him out to pee.

Mo Beihan took some roasted chestnuts and peeled them to eat, while he lowered his eyes and listened quietly to the conversation between Butler Zhou and Qiao Ran.

He didn't even understand. This little girl had earned so much gold, silver and jewelry from him. If she just supported the Qiao family, she would have nothing to worry about for the rest of her life. Why didn't she move to the city?

Buying a big house, buying a dozen servants and servants to serve them, living a life of food and clothing, eating, drinking and having fun, without having to work with their backs to the earth and being scolded for being weak, is not the case for most people. Is it the ideal life that poor people dream of?

Now that she clearly has this condition, why is she still living in such a mountain nook with her family?

As the pampered prince of the royal family, Mo Beihan really couldn't understand what this little girl was thinking.

But one day, when he stood on the mountain and watched the Devil's Valley that everyone talked about in the past turn into a paradise full of flowers, fragrant fruits and vegetables, Mo Beihan understood why Qiao Ran didn't go. This is the reason why I want to buy a house in the city but live in this mountain nook with the villagers.

But that’s all for another day.

At this moment, after eating five roasted sweet potatoes, two potatoes, two small taros, a dozen roasted chestnuts, and two roasted oranges, the ghost doctor, who finally had his stomach so full that he could no longer hold it in, suddenly burst into laughter. The conversation between Qiao Ran and Butler Zhou was interrupted.

"Master, you just said that you bought glutinous rice from the city. I saw that you carried at least a dozen bags from the car. Are they all glutinous rice? Why did you buy so much glutinous rice? Are you going to do something else? Delicious? Do you want to make pastries?"

After saying that, he swallowed his saliva and imagined what delicious food the master could make.

Uncle Zhou and Mo Beihan also thought about what Qiao Ran said just now, and thought about the dozen bags of food. If they were all glutinous rice, wouldn't it be too much? They only stocked up a few bags of glutinous rice in the palace for grinding rice and flour to make cakes!
