"Aren't you familiar with it?" Mr. Xu chuckled, "Since I was in Shiliang City, what I hear the most every day is your name and the things you do. My ears are almost calloused. Do you think I'm familiar with you?"
"So, Mr. Xu is spying on me?" Li Qian said angrily.
"How can you say I'm monitoring you? This is because I care about you. Look, no one's every move has ever made me care so much. Boy, you are the first person!" Mr. Xu said hehey.
What else can Li Qian say? This old fox is really unambiguous when it comes to scheming people.
This time, I really lost to this old man.
This old man is not shy enough to think of such a strange trick.
Anyway, royal clan members are just royal clan members. This status may be really convenient in some aspects.
Mr. Xu is just a familiar person. He has no intention of going back after coming to Beiba Village.
He even brought several jars of wine in his carriage.
He said he was going to celebrate Li Qi'an in Beiba Village for three days.
He also asked Li Qian to cook delicious food for him in different ways.
He said that he had heard that Li Qian was an excellent cook, so he was finally able to try it.
Although Li Qian hated Mr. Xu, the old fox was too cunning, and he did not dare to chase the old fox away, fearing that if he was not careful, the old fox would play another trick.
I had no choice but to try my best to satisfy this old shameless appetite.
While the two peppers were ripe, he cooked several super spicy dishes.
As a result, Mr. Xu ate with gusto and even said he had never eaten such delicious food.
He also asked Li Qian to cook more dishes with strong flavors like this.
Li Qian was speechless. This old man was not afraid of spicy food.
However, he won't cook spicy dishes anymore.
After all, peppers were limited, so he had to keep them for sowing.
What he didn't expect was that when he wasn't paying attention, the old man kept the chili peppers he had used for seeding and chewed them dry for drinking.
He also asked him to prepare more chili peppers so that he can take them away when the time comes.
Li Qian covered his forehead for a while and drank some dried chili peppers. How could this old man not be afraid of being spicy to death?
It's so hot, it's his seed.
"Boy, why are you so stingy? Didn't you just eat some of your chili peppers? This stuff suits my taste, so I'll just eat it. Anyway, you are so capable. It's not easy to make this stuff." Mr. Xu looked at him. said dissatisfied.
"Originally it was very simple, but now, we have to wait until next year." Li Qian said angrily.
"Next year?" Mr. Xu narrowed his eyes, "You want to keep me here to live next year?"
Li Qian almost jumped up. If this old man is allowed to live here until next year, he will go crazy.
Mr. Xu chuckled, "Boy, I don't have time to stay here for that long. I appreciate your kindness. I will leave when the court's decree comes."
Li Qi'an also breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that this old man stayed here specifically to wait for the imperial court's order.
"Your village is indeed interesting. What do you want it to look like?"
After eating and drinking, Mr. Xu asked Li Qian while walking around the village.
"What does your home look like?" Li Qian asked.
"What does a family look like?" Mr. Xu glanced at Li Qian, "Don't you have a family? What else do you need?"
"Everyone has a home in their mind. Although I have a home, the whole village is also my home." Li Qian said.
Mr. Xu pondered for a moment, "So, you want to make this village your home?"
Li Qian nodded.
"Then what does home look like in your mind?" Mr. Xu asked again.
"It means that everyone can live and work in peace and contentment and no longer have to worry about food and clothing. As long as they work hard, they can live in a new house and eat rice every day." Li Qian said.
Mr. Xu frowned slightly, "Young man, do you have other intentions?"
"Why did Mr. Xu say this?" Li Qian asked.
Mr. Xu sighed, "What you said is not what I hope. I have always hoped that our Dacheng people can live and work in peace and contentment, and no one will starve to death or freeze to death. However, people starve to death every day, and every winter Countless people froze to death.”
"Have Mr. Xu thought about the reason for this?" Li Qian asked.
"The reason?" Mr. Xu smiled bitterly, "There are various reasons. You can't blame it all on the court."
"I believe Mr. Xu understands the affairs of the imperial court better than I do. I don't want to make any arbitrary comments. I just want to say that the people are the foundation of the country. If the people are uneasy, the country will also be uneasy!" Li Qian said.
Mr. Xu took a deep look at Li Qian and said, "Boy, it seems that I have really underestimated you. What you said is really beyond my expectation."
"I'm just talking casually. After all, Mr. Xu knows more about the truth than I do, and national affairs are not something I can interfere with." Li Qian said.
