I visited several pharmacies and drugstores on West Street, but couldn't find the remaining three ingredients, and the owner of the grocery store had never heard of them.

When they turned to the street behind where Wanjia Restaurant was located, Li Ping happened to be seeing off a few guests to the restaurant. He saw Li Changle and came to greet him with surprise.

"Madam Li, why don't you come in for a cup of hot tea when you pass by the restaurant? The restaurant has been packed with guests these days because of the food package, hahaha."

He smiled complacently, but when he glanced at Gu Jingyan who was beside Li Changle, his face suddenly froze.

"This, this isn't..." Isn't this the gentleman who lived in his Wanjia Restaurant with the distinguished guest a few days ago?

His eyes moved between Gu Jingyan and Li Changle.

Gu Jingyan ignored Li Ping's surprised look. He just turned his head to the woman beside him and asked in a gentle voice, "Do you want to go in?"

"It's time for dinner. Let's dine in today."

Li Changle originally wanted to find a place to eat, so she pulled Gu Jingyan into the restaurant.

Li Ping came to his senses and led the two upstairs. "The chef's cooking skills are impeccable. I will host you today and invite you two to taste the signature dishes of Wanjia Restaurant."

"You are too polite, boss. Please go and do your work. We will do what we want."

The two of them went up to the private room on the second floor side by side. Looking down at the first floor from the corridor, they saw that the place was really packed.

"The shopkeeper has a keen eye for gems. Most of the things you brought out are things I have never seen before..."

Li Changle accepted the compliment and sat down in the private room. "That's right. Let me tell you, if sweet potatoes are popularized, the population of your Great Yan Dynasty can double. It's a food with a better yield than rice in the south."

Wang Dahu pushed the door open and brought a pot of tea, and the two stopped discussing this.

Li Changle was in a good mood and asked Wang Dahu if he was used to working here.

How could Wang Dahu not be used to it? He was paid 500 wen a month and received tips from customers from time to time.

What a good job this is in the eyes of others.

Wang Dahu took the menu they ordered and left the private room.

Gu Jingyan poured a cup of tea for her and himself.

After staying in Lushui Village for two days, Leng Yi and Leng Er naturally found out what happened after Li Changle came to Lushui Village. Knowing that the Wang family was a kind family, this woman always wanted to repay them in every way.

"I have a request, I wonder if it's appropriate to ask you?"

"You tell me about it first." She took a sip of tea and felt that Liping had contributed all his treasures this time. The taste was completely different from the tea she drank in the private room that day.

She glanced at the man beside her.

Sure enough, people who know how to do business will know how to suit different people’s needs.

"If I give you a farm with a hundred acres of land, can you grow enough food for the people of two counties to survive the winter in a short period of time?"

"What???"

Gu Jingyan looked at her steadily, waiting for her reply.

"Which two counties?" Li Changle was confused. Her focus was actually on the "manor with a hundred acres of land". Fortunately, she managed to calm down...

"Ding! The system has a limited-time task. I am a brick, I will be moved wherever I am needed! Please solve the problem of food and clothing for the people in the two counties in the north within 15 days.

After completing the task, the contribution points will be rewarded handsomely.

Come on, host! "

Li Changle: You are a system bootlicker, why don’t you bind yourself to Gu Jingyan!

The system is spinning in circles: Host, most of your contribution points have to be obtained by a third party. After all, your military strength is 0, and your intelligence and quotient are also average.

Li Changle: "..."

Gu Jingyan: "Beining City and Liyang County. The north has little rain and strong winds and sand all year round. Affected by drought, there is not much harvest.

In the past two years, the war with Northern Mongolia has never stopped, and food and fodder have been insufficient from time to time. Some civilians often saved their own rations and sent them to the army. Although it was a drop in the bucket, many soldiers appreciated the kindness.

You said that with this food, the population of the Great Yan Dynasty would quadruple, but now the people of the Great Yan Dynasty in the border areas are mostly afraid to have more children, fearing that they can’t support them.”

Li Changle felt sympathetic. No matter what time, food is hard currency.

Man is like iron and food is like steel. If you don't eat for a meal, you will be hungry. If the army is short of food, the soldiers will not have the strength to fight.

"You have a farm? One with a shed and a roof. Do you have one?"

There is no point in doing it in the open air, otherwise the yard of her Li family’s courtyard would have been a piece of black soil.

Gu Jingyan's eyes sparkled: "...wait for news from me."

"Host, the system ID is Li Changle. You are the one who is bound, and you are the one who completes the time-limited task, so you must be the owner of this manor."

"Well... there is a problem that needs to be solved."

Suddenly he became shy.

The hundred-acre farm must be signed with her name.

Isn't it too shameless to say this out loud?

Gu Jingyan looked relaxed, with a barely visible smile in his eyes. "What's the problem?"

"It's like this. Do you know why the vegetables and grains in the firewood room at home can be harvested in two days?"

"Could it be that it is something from the fairy world?"

Li Changle was speechless: "Are you serious? I was just kidding, do you really think I'm a god?"

Gu Jingyan said quietly: "I have never seen a god, but I have never seen someone like you either."

"Go ahead, do you have any questions?"

Li Changle blinked, suppressing the excitement in his heart about becoming a small landlord with a hundred acres of land, "Because that woodshed is mine!"

Gu Jingyan pondered for a moment and said, "It's not impossible to do this business."

Li Changle: …

"A farm of 100 mu can be exchanged for the food rations of the people of two counties. It's a good deal."

Look at this wealthy appearance.

She said angrily, "Is one hundred acres enough to eat? If it's not enough, how about another farm?"

"No. Too much is not beautiful."

Gu Jingyan frowned slightly and said, "I have handed over the power of the family to you, so what belongs to me is yours, isn't it?"

Li Changle silently lowered his head and drank a sip of the tea that was no longer hot. "That sounds nice, but don't think I'll be so moved that I'll burst into tears. I have to help you manage your money and make bills every day. You know that I spend a little more money, and it's not convenient for you to cash out in the future or run away with the money..."

Gu Jingyan looked straight at her, "So, that's what you think."

Li Changle's voice suddenly choked.

It's terrible, I accidentally said what was in my heart...

After a while, the dishes started to be served in the private room.

The reputation of this old restaurant is not exaggerated, and the chef’s skills are also exquisite.

After the meal, the two wanted to pay the bill. Li Ping insisted on treating them without charging any money, so Li Changle did not refuse.

I went out and had a big meal.

He walked out of the private room and was about to go downstairs.

"Ding! The system has a limited-time mission. The life of the Great Yan Crown Prince is in danger. Host, please bring people to rescue him as soon as possible."

"Location: at the end of West Second Street. Gu Yuer has been held hostage."

At that moment, Li Changle almost missed a step and rolled down the stairs.
