Dad dug potatoes just to get a taste of something new when he was excited. It was impossible for him to harvest all the potatoes on this land by himself. Of course, the servants in the mansion would dig the rest.
The servants carried the dug potatoes back, briefly cleaned the soil, and never washed them with water. They then stored them in hay.
Han Du happily used a large pot of potatoes and made a potato feast. What kind of potato shreds, potato slices, fried potato chips, potato cakes, mashed potatoes... A big table full of refreshing potato shreds, soft and sweet mashed potatoes, golden and burnt potato cakes and French fries, everything is appetizing.
But as soon as Dad walked in, after taking a look, he was intoxicated and smelled the aroma of food that filled the room. But then, the father frowned and asked doubtfully: "Are these made of potatoes?"
Han Du smiled triumphantly, "Of course, how about it? My son is good at his crafts, right?"
"Shouldn't potatoes be stored and planted until next year? Why are they eaten now?" Hande's sparse eyebrows suddenly stood up.
In Hande's mind, of course potatoes can be eaten, but only after the sprouted skin is peeled off and planted during planting can the remaining potato hearts be eaten.
The potatoes have just been dug up now, and they are still sprouting very early. In other words, Han Du is now eating grain.
Han Du looked indifferent, "Dad, so many potatoes weigh at least several thousand kilograms. What does it matter if we eat just a few?"
"This is seed grain. It is used to save seeds. How can we eat it?" Han De looked distressed and wished he could find something to beat Han De with.
Han Du watched his father constantly looking around the corners of the room, as if he was looking for something. Suddenly, Han Du had the urge to run away.
Before Han Du could move his feet, Liu and An Qing walked in from the door together.
Mrs. Liu hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her father, "Okay, Master. If you don't do it, you've already done it. Wouldn't it be more wasteful if you don't eat it? Why don't you invite everyone to eat together? It won't be the same next time."
Hande sighed...that was all he had to do, otherwise it would all turn into dishes. Even if he got angry again, wouldn't the potato be able to change back?
"...Then, let's not do this next time." After saying that, Han De glared at Han Du fiercely.
Han Du laughed dryly, avoided his father's gaze, and turned to face An Qing. Seeing her looking at him longingly, Han Du asked sheepishly, "What? Do you think what I did was wrong?"
An Qing smiled and shook his head, "I want to eat it too." She was telling the truth. Originally, she didn't have much expectations for potatoes. Anyway, she had eaten them before, and now she just wanted to savor them.
Perhaps it was because the potatoes were more plentiful this time, but Han Du cooked a large table of dishes, all of which were delicious, delicious, and made Anqing greedy.
...Han Du was startled when he heard this, and suddenly smiled. This is right, why do you think so much about delicious food in front of you? Just eat it!
The whole family, especially Han Kezhong and his sister, had a great time eating. The two guys had to stop until they couldn't eat any more. Even so, his gloomy eyes were still staring at the dishes on the table. It's like I want to take a breather before continuing to eat.
After this potato feast, Hande issued a strict order that potatoes were no longer allowed to be eaten at home, and all potatoes must be saved for seeds. He even asked someone to keep the key to the house where the potatoes were stored, especially to Han Du.
The days that followed were nothing at first. But day by day, the appetites of Han Kezhong and his sister became worse and worse.
Especially when it was time to eat, you could see the two of them looking listless, like eggplants that had been wilted in the sun.
An Qing saw the two of them digging into their bowls with one or two chopsticks, but not even a grain of rice was put into their mouths. She couldn't help but frown, "Eat well, what are you doing?"
"Yes, mother." Han Kezhong was very obedient and immediately picked up the chopsticks and pulled them into his mouth.
But the youngest daughter was not afraid of An Qing. She cried and said aggrievedly: "Mom, I can't eat it."
"Why can't I eat it? Aren't these dishes delicious?" An Qing wondered.
"It doesn't taste good." The little one said bluntly without any politeness, "I don't want to eat these things, I want to eat potatoes, I want to eat potatoes..."
An Qing was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked up at Han Du, only to see Han Du helplessly avoid his gaze. Then he turned to look at Han De, who was more direct and completely ignored An Qing's gaze.
Seeing this, An Qing quickly put two chopsticks into his daughter's bowl, "Eating meat, what about potatoes? Didn't you like mutton the most before? So many delicacies from mountains and seas can't stop your mouth? Come on, eat more point!"
"I don't want to eat mutton, I want to eat potatoes..." The little one shook his two short legs and started to splash.
Han Du's anger surged and he put down his chopsticks with a loud snap.
The sudden sound instantly attracted the attention of the whole family.
Mrs. Liu thought that Han Du was going to get angry at her granddaughter, so she quickly said: "Han Du, that's your daughter, don't do whatever you want..."
With a crash, Han Du stood up immediately. Under An Qing's nervous eyes, he said in a deep voice: "If you want to eat, just order potatoes. Is there anything you can't eat?"
"What are you going to do?" Hande suddenly became nervous, stared at Handu and asked sharply.
Han Du did not give in, "Dad, there is nothing wrong with you cherishing food and wanting to keep as much as possible. But there are so many potatoes in the world, and dad can ensure that everyone does not eat a bite and keeps them all. Growing food?”
Han De suddenly fell silent when he heard this. He... of course had no way to guarantee it. His mouth is on someone else's face, and the potatoes belong to someone else. How can he control whether others eat or not?
"Since others eat it, why can't our family eat it?" Han Du asked again.
Han De was silent for a long time and sighed: "Of course I can't control other people, but I just want to leave as much food as possible for the people of the world. What's wrong with this?"
Of course there is nothing wrong with this... but it is just that you have wronged yourself too much and made others happy. The key is that others may not appreciate it.
"Dad, how many potatoes does our family only have? So what if we eat them all? There are as many potatoes as there are in the world. If each of them eats a bite, they will have many times more potatoes than we do. Even if our family doesn't eat a bite, the amount will be many times more than ours." Does it make sense for us to do this if other people are eating it up?"
Of course the people will not eat everything randomly... Han Du still believes this. After all, even Han De knew what this food meant to the people who were on the verge of starvation. They were unforgettable and would not choose to eat it now.
Even if they want to eat, they will have to wait until there is another good harvest and there are enough potatoes and sweet potatoes before they choose to eat.
But there is nothing wrong with what Han Du said. The size of his own family is too small. Whether he eats it or not, it has no impact on the world.
"Do you know how many people in the world are suffering from lack of food and clothing and starving?" Hande disagreed with Hande and asked sharply.
Han Du directly retorted: "Of course the people of the world have to worry about the affairs of the people of the world. My son is weak and weak, so it would be good if he can take care of the whole family. How can he have the energy to take care of the people of the world?"
Han De was shocked when he heard this and looked into his son's eyes for a long time without saying anything. Finally, with a long sigh, as if his whole body's energy and spirit had declined, he reached out and took out the key from his waist.
"If you want to eat, then go ahead and eat."
After saying that, Han De ignored everyone, stood up and left the table.
Han Du looked worriedly at his father's leaving figure and was about to catch up, but was stopped by his mother who stood up.
Mrs. Liu smiled at Han Du, An Qing, Han Shu and her two grandchildren and said, "You guys eat for a while and I'll go check on him. Put it down. Your dad is just a little disappointed for a while. It's okay."
The last words were said to Han Du.
"Mom, did I say something too harsh just now? How about I go and apologize to my father?" Han Du stepped forward with some worry. Even An Qing put down his chopsticks and stood up, obviously wanting to talk to Han Du. go together.
Mrs. Liu opened her arms to stop the two of them and said: "It's okay, believe me. This is not due to what you just said. It's just a hook at most. Since your father lost his official position, although he has no words, He said, but in fact he is still full of disappointment. It’s just that he has seen you getting better and better and your official career getting bigger and bigger over the years, so he is embarrassed to mention it. "
"Although your father doesn't mention it, he often thinks about it in his heart. Since it broke out this time, it's just a chance for him to vent. Listen to mother, don't go, just go and persuade her. .”
His mother had said this, and even if Han Du was worried, he had to give up the idea of going to see his father for the time being.
Sure enough, as his mother said, the next morning, Han Du was worried that his father had not slept well, so he got up early to see what was going on with his father.
Unexpectedly, Han Du had not yet gone to his father's yard to see him. When passing by the dining hall, I saw the second elder already sitting inside.
We were eating happily, and laughter could be heard from time to time, especially my father’s laughter, which was the loudest and loudest.
Han Du's face was full of curiosity. He walked up and stared at his father's face and asked, "What's going on? Why are you so happy today?"
Han De raised his eyes and glanced at Han Du, and said with a "hum": "You are right, let the people of the world take care of the world's affairs. Why should I be worried about them? I don't owe them anything." "
With a smile on his face, Han Du extended his thumb towards his father and said, "Dad is wise."
Before Han De was happy, Han Du turned his thumb to his mother and said: "I am amazing!"
"You bastard, you want to rebel, don't you? No matter how big or small, you can do it all day long." Han De became angry when he saw that his son's praise of Mrs. Liu was true and the praise of himself was incidental.
