Chapter 586 Dried Vegetables
Ma was taken aback. "It's the letter of the former princess. When you led the officers and soldiers to search the palace, didn't you just use that letter..."

"I don't understand what you're talking about!" Wu Fulai interrupted her coldly, "I was only a low-level general when the palace was confiscated, so even if I wanted to speak for the old prince, what could I do? Just stand outside and help them look at the door. I have never stepped through the gate of the palace! If this is the case, the letter has nothing to do with me, I have never heard of it, and I have never seen it!"

Ma Shi paused, then she lowered her head. "I see, we don't know anything. Then, do you think I'm going to the princess to help her?"

"Go, why don't you go?" Wu Fulai nodded immediately, "The prince and princess are determined to make our Northwest better. This is a good thing. We must do our best to help them! Hurry up and go now. Don't waste any more time!"

"Okay, I'll go right away!" Mrs. Ma nodded quickly, then turned and left.

Hearing the sound of her footsteps going away, Wu Fulai twitched the corner of his mouth and showed a sneer.

He dropped the jade ball in his hand, walked to the bed, and took out a rattan box from under the bed.Opening the box, he took out a thin notebook from inside.Because of the age, the handwriting has turned yellow, but the delicate handwriting on it is still clearly visible.After opening it, there are densely packed words written on every page, and there are pictures of some plants that are very common in the local area in the middle, and there are related explanations around the pictures, which are very detailed.

After roughly flipping through the letter, Wu Fulai closed the letter with a snap, and casually threw it back into the rattan box.

"Hmph, I've already made a mistake once, do you think I will make the same mistake again? Sending the letter over will be like adding wings to a tiger, and they will be the ones who will gain fame and fortune by then, and I still have nothing. I won't do such stupid things again!"

Humming coldly in a low voice, he closed the rattan box again and put a lock on it before throwing the rattan box back under the bed.Then he lay back on the rocking chair, picked up the jade ball and twirled it.

Because of the age, the women who came to explain the matter were unavoidably a little messy when they talked about the past.And what you say to me makes it even more chaotic.Su Ran and Sister Hua patiently listened to them every day, and whenever they heard something important, they quickly asked the children to take notes.In this way, time naturally flies by.

Su Ran here is busy sorting out the information, and Li Erzao over there has reported the great victory and the good news of capturing the second prince of Dashi alive to the capital.Then, there was no second prince who was brave and capable of fighting at Dashi, and there was a great chaos among them. The emperor of Dashi hurriedly sent an envoy over, claiming to negotiate peace with Li Er.

Li Er received the envoy, but he only replied with one sentence: "The negotiation of peace is a big matter, and this king cannot make decisions alone. However, this king has already sent the news to the capital, and I think the emperor will give his opinion after reading it. Then , this king will act according to the emperor's opinion."

When the messenger heard this, he almost passed out on the spot!
It is now the end of October, and the weather in the northwest is extremely cold, and it has snowed five times.In half a month, the snow will get heavier and heavier. If there is no accident, the heavy snow will block the roads. No matter what opinions there are in the capital, they will not be able to deliver them. They can only be delivered after the snow melts in spring.

In other words, King Zhenxi doesn't want to discuss this matter with them now, and he will delay the matter for several months before talking about it!

This man is so shameless!He did it on purpose!

However, his wording is high-sounding, making it difficult to find fault.

The Dashi envoy was in a hurry, so he quickly and quietly moved to Li Er's side: "King Zhenxi, I know that you are angry, but that's not how you vent your anger! Do you still remember that in your grandpa's and great-grandfather's generation, The two of us are also living in harmony. Since you have already made a name for yourself this time, why are you still clinging to it? Both of us take a step back, so everything is easy to talk about! What benefits do you want? Well, our Majesty said, as long as you want, as long as we can get it, we can get it for you."

"presumptuous!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Er suddenly raised his voice, making the emissary tremble with fright.

"King Zhenxi..."

"Come here!" Before he could speak again, Li Er had already shouted, "This person wants to bribe me in private under the pretext of negotiating peace. Emperor Dashi brought a sentence - this king is a member of the Sun and Moon Dynasty, and he only does things for the benefit of the Sun and Moon Dynasty, so don't fool me like the Kong family!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers outside immediately dragged the man out and threw him directly outside the pass.

The Great Food Messenger lost face, and the Great Food Emperor was not much better.

But after this incident, they understood: this new King Zhenxi is even more stubborn than his ancestors!

Thinking that they will have to deal with this person for decades in the future, they can't help but shudder.

However, no matter what, they lost the battle this time and lost the second prince they relied on the most, so they could only bow their heads and admit defeat.The Dashi Emperor appointed another envoy and sent him to discuss peace with Li Er again.

But Li Er still said the same sentence - "We will talk about it when the court's statement comes!"

The Great Food Messenger didn't dare to do it again this time, so he could only obey obediently.But he didn't go back, so he stayed in Gansu Town brazenly, saying that he was waiting for the imperial decree from the emperor of the Sun and Moon Dynasty.

Li Er also followed him.

Day after day, the wind at the border became stronger and stronger, and the weather became colder and colder.In order to keep warm, the people began to cut down trees on a large scale.

After Su Ran and Li Er knew about it, the two of them looked at each other, and Li Er lowered his eyes. "The people also want to survive. What can they do? Now, we can only urgently make a certain plan for them, which trees can be cut down, and which trees cannot be cut down. At least the seedlings should be preserved first."

"This is the only way to go now." Su Ran nodded helplessly.

Li Er quickly asked Mr. Yuan to formulate relevant regulations, and then sent them to the nearby prefects.The magistrate hurriedly distributed it to various counties.The county magistrates were relieved to find that Li Er only asked them to regulate the behavior of the common people instead of banning logging, and immediately acted according to the rules.

Besides, Su Ran also started to worry.

For dinner that day, facing a table of meat dishes, the family hardly moved their chopsticks.

In fact, it's not that everyone is not hungry, it's just that they eat meat every day, and they can't suppress their anger if they eat too much.Especially now that it's freezing cold, and you can't even see the blue color outside, this pure meat makes people go crazy!Not to mention that the children couldn't eat anymore after eating for so long, even Su Ran didn't want to eat their chopsticks anymore.

Now, just seeing the flesh makes her cheeks ache.

After eating a few chopsticks with a cold face, Li Er put down the chopsticks. "You all don't eat?"

"I can't eat it." Sister Xiao whispered with a wrinkled face.

Li Er lowered his face and wanted to teach him a lesson.But looking at the children's frowning faces, he couldn't vent his anger.

"If you can't eat it, then don't eat it." He whispered.

The children quickly put down their chopsticks with a sigh of relief.

Seeing Li Er, his complexion became ugly again.

Su Ran hurriedly signaled the children to go back to the room with her eyes, and then she persuaded Li Er in a low voice: "Although this meat is good, it is indeed greasy to eat too much. Besides, the children grew up pampered and pampered. You want to let them eat so quickly. How is it possible to adapt to the food and environment here?"

"But if they don't adapt as soon as possible, will their bodies be able to bear it?" Li Erzhi asked.

Su Ran pursed her lips.

Li Er immediately said coldly again: "Don't say you're going to buy Dongzi goods. I won't indulge them like this!"

"I know, I didn't plan to spend this unjustly money." Su Ran chuckled, then blinked at him, "Actually, I made some preparations before I came here."

Li Er raised her eyebrows. "What preparation?"

Su Ran pulled him: "Come with me."

The two went to the kitchen together.Li Er in the kitchen doesn't come often, and seeing Su Ran bring him to a pile of pots, he looks puzzled: "What is this?"

"Open it and you'll know." Su Ran said with a smile.

Li Er dubiously opened the jar, and when he saw the contents in the jar, a look of shock immediately appeared on his face. "How did you do it?"

"It's very simple! You said that the northwest is bitterly cold, and there will be no vegetables to eat in winter. I took advantage of the time before I came here to collect a lot of fresh vegetables in the capital, hang them in the sun to soften them, and then wash them with hot water. Blanch it for a while, take it out and continue to dry it in the sun, and then seal it in a jar. I tried to make a small jar first, and after half a month, I took out two womb cabbage from it and fried it for you. Eat it, see if you didn’t find anything wrong, I also think the taste is similar, so I prepared some more.”

"How much is the extra prepared?" Li Er asked.

"Only forty or fifty altars!" Su Ran replied.

Li Er's eyes suddenly started to sparkle.

Excited, he actually hugged Su Ran up!
