Chapter 205: Novelty
"These sweet potatoes were brought from the outer domain. No wonder my parents didn't recognize them. I asked my parents to get the seeds from the outer domain and planted some on the farm. This is the first harvest. I asked my parents to take them back and taste them. Fresh." Su Wenyue said with a smile, and told Old Man Han and Yang several ways to eat sweet potatoes.
In fact, most of the crops planted in Su Wenyue's farm are sweet potatoes, and the rest include other crops from other vassals. Because the farm is all old-fashioned, and Su Wenyue is willing to spend money, the crops in the farm grow exceptionally well, and Sweet potatoes are worthy of being the 'sacred object' presented to Emperor Wu by Concubine Li in her previous life. The yield of the crops is astonishingly high, and they don't care about the land. Zhuangzi Su Wenyue ordered people to dig many cellars early, and they were filled with sweet potatoes, which was impossible to eat all. , but Su Wenyue will not tell Old Man Han and Yang.
Old Man Han and Mr. Yang heard that it was something obtained by a foreign vassal. It was really a rare thing. No wonder they had never seen it before. It looked strange and ugly, but from what the fourth daughter-in-law said, it seemed to be delicious. I don’t know what it smells like.
"Fourth daughter-in-law, since this thing came from a foreign vassal, it must be very expensive. You also packed these sacks for us. You don't need to take so many. Your mother and I will take a few back to have a taste, and the rest will be better." You can keep it for yourselves." Old Man Han didn't know that this was a valuable item from a foreign domain. His daughter-in-law didn't say a word when loading the car. Now that he knows, he doesn't want to ask for so much because he doesn't want his daughter-in-law to spend so much.
When Mrs. Yang heard that this 'earth lump' had such an origin, she also had the same idea as her old man. They could just take such a precious thing back to taste it fresh, and the rest should be left for the fourth and his wife to eat by themselves. Don't let them ruin a good thing.
"Mom, Dad, my husband and I are paying special tribute to you. There are still some in Zhuangzi. If we don't have enough, we can just ask Zhuangzi to send them over." After the family separation, Su Wenyue did not hide anything about Zhuangzi. However, Old Man Han and Mrs. Yang both thought it was just a small village, so they were not too surprised or concerned. Considering how much the mother-in-law dotes on her daughter, it is normal to give her daughter-in-law a village as a dowry.
"Okay, since that's the case, we will take it back and let everyone have a taste of this new thing from the foreign domain and learn more about it."
When Old Man Han and Mrs. Yang heard what Su Wenyue said, they stopped insisting. Who doesn't want good things? Since they still have their daughter-in-law, they will take them back. Mrs. Yang still has some thoughts on showing off in front of everyone. It would be nice for them to come again. It is easy to come to Silla Town to visit the son who is an official. It would be decent to bring some novelty things to everyone when he goes back. When the time comes, someone familiar with him will give a few sweet potatoes so that everyone can try the novelties of the outer domain. What a feeling!
Su Wenyue hadn't eaten the newly delivered sweet potatoes for a long time, and she also missed the taste. She specially taught the sweet potatoes in the kitchen how to make sweet potatoes. Not only Old Man Han and Yang, but also Han Yu praised the deliciousness. This stuff is sweet and delicious. The noodles taste extra sweet and can be made into so many delicious dishes.
"Fourth daughter-in-law, these sweet potatoes are really delicious. They look like lumps, but when they are steamed, they turn golden yellow. They are beautiful and delicious. It is because of you that we, the old couple, can eat such precious potatoes. Since this thing is from a foreign vassal, I'm afraid even the emperor in the Golden Palace has never eaten it." Yang felt a little proud as he thought about it.
Su Wenyue felt something was wrong when she heard Yang's words. Even the emperor had not eaten the food they had eaten. If someone with a heart heard it and used it as a basis, it would be a serious crime. However, with Han Yu present, she did this. The daughter-in-law stopped being such a bad person and just pretended not to hear.
Han Yu frowned: "Mom, you can't say this nonsense. Your Majesty is something that we can mention at will. If someone hears your words, our whole family will be beheaded. Disaster will follow." Mouth out!”
"What, what?" For saying such a thing, he would be beheaded. Yang was a little stunned and a little scared. The smile on his face disappeared and he looked frightened. Things in this officialdom are really complicated. It is a grave sin to fail to say a word well.
Han Hu deliberately made the matter serious, hoping that Yang would know how serious it was, and that he was not trying to scare his mother. If someone really heard about it, it would be a big trouble, and it also reminded his mother to be more careful with what she said in the future.
"Mom, I'm not trying to scare you. Things will be different when your son becomes an official. There are so many people watching behind my back, just waiting to find fault with me. If I'm not careful, it will cause trouble."
"I can save it, I can save it, don't worry, my mother won't say anything nonsense in the future!" If Su Wenyue said this, Yang would still think about whether her daughter-in-law was using this to scare her. Her own son said it, Yang didn't doubt it at all and kept nodding in response, fearing that she might accidentally cause trouble for the whole family.
Su Wenyue saw that Mrs. Yang was very frightened by Han Yu. She, as a good daughter-in-law, should naturally comfort her: "Mom, that's what my husband said. Don't be afraid. We are all our own people here. It doesn't matter what you say." It won’t spread, just be careful in the future.”
"What Yueniang said is that mother-in-law listens to you." At this time, Mrs. Yang felt more and more that her daughter-in-law was doing well. She brought so many things back to them without saying anything, and even helped her out in front of her son. Su Wenyue praised her and asked Han Yu to take good care of Su Wenyue. It was so good that she couldn't bear to go back.
Su Wenyue is also a bit of a soft-spoken person. When her mother-in-law was picky about her, she really hated this old woman who couldn't understand things. Now that her mother-in-law treats her well, she feels that she used to contradict her mother-in-law and use her little tricks. I felt a little sorry for the method, but instead became affectionate to my mother-in-law.
Knowing that her father-in-law and mother-in-law wanted to give sweet potatoes as gifts, Su Wenyue asked the kitchen to fry a few pots of sweet potato balls. They were made with glutinous rice flour and had sweet fillings inside. They were crispy when bitten, but soft and sticky inside, especially sweet and delicious. They were packed in two clean baskets, and Yang was given a stack of paper bags. She packed them in paper bags when giving them away, which was convenient, decent and beautiful. Yang felt that this daughter-in-law couldn't be more considerate.
"Fourth daughter-in-law, these sweet potato balls are really delicious, fragrant, crispy, sweet and sticky. Even the ones in the county snack shop are not as good as this." Yang couldn't help but pinch another sweet potato ball and put it in her mouth, eating it with joy.
"As long as mother likes it, it's good. However, this food is very hot right out of the pot. Eating too much will easily cause internal heat. Mother should let it cool down before eating."
"I know, I know, it's just that it's so delicious that I can't help it." Yang said with a smile, helping the maids and the old women to pack the sweet potato balls and put them on the carriage.
"Dad, mother, be careful on your way. Come over often when you have time."
