After crossing, I surrounded the capital from the countryside

At night, the moonlight is like water and the stars are twinkling.

Everyone sat around the campfire. After a busy day, it was a relaxing time to enjoy dinner.

However, tonight's table was a little different from usual.

Several plates of golden and fragrant dishes were placed on the table, attracting everyone's attention.

These dishes seem ordinary, but they are full of indescribable novelty. Some dishes are sticky, as if they were mixed with some secret sauce; some are fried until golden and crispy, making people salivate; and some are stewed with meat, the meat is tender and juicy, and the soup is rich and mellow.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. They had never seen these dishes before, let alone tasted them.

Just then, a villager from Anping Village came over with a smile on his face.

He looked at the puzzled expressions of the crowd and couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Everyone, this is the potato dish our patriarch taught us. These potatoes are all grown in our village. They are fresh and delicious!"

"Potatoes? What are potatoes? Is this the dish?"

“I haven’t heard of it.”

“This potato smells delicious!”

"That's right! I'm drooling!"

When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized that these dishes were made of something called potatoes!

They all started to taste the dishes and found them to be rich in texture and unique in flavor, leaving them with a long-lasting aftertaste.

"Hmm~ delicious!"

"This stew is perfect for people with bad teeth! It's soft and tasty, and delicious!"

"Wow, it's so delicious! I haven't eaten such delicious food in a long time, woooo~"

Some people in the crowd started crying, and gradually some people's eyes became wet. Word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. Everyone thought of the hard days they had lived through and their deceased relatives, and they couldn't help but feel even more sad. For a while, the hall was filled with suppressed crying.

The villagers of Anping Village were at a loss when they saw this scene, and it happened that Xu Qingqing appeared on the platform at this time.

The villager shouted loudly: "The clan leader is here! The clan leader is here! Everyone stop crying, the clan leader is going to speak!!"

After hearing what he said, everyone wiped away their tears immediately and looked up at the small figure on the podium.

Xu Qingqing stood on the high platform, her clothes fluttering, like a fairy descending to earth.

She looked down and saw everyone from Yijie Mountain sitting together, with tears on their faces and red eyes, obviously they had just cried.

She spoke softly, her voice clear and pleasant, and asked, "What do you think of these potatoes? Do they taste good?"

When everyone heard this, their eyes sparkled with excitement, and they rushed to answer, "Delicious! It's so delicious! We have never eaten anything so delicious!"

"This potato is really good. It feels very filling!"

Xu Qingqing smiled brightly upon hearing this, and said softly, "These potatoes are not only delicious, but also have a very high yield, are very easy to preserve, and make you feel full after eating them! I can provide a planting method here. As long as everyone is willing to plant them, I guarantee that they will never go hungry again in the future!"

"real!"

"Master, is this true?!"

“Is there really such a magical thing?”

Xu Qingqing raised her hand and pressed it down, and everyone fell silent instantly.

"Everyone, this kind of potato is just the beginning, just to make everyone no longer hungry. There will be more delicious and fun things in the future. I, Xu Qingqing, promise everyone here that I will do my best to make everyone live a good life!"

Hearing this, everyone in Yijie Mountain stood up, bowed deeply to Xu Qingqing, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Sect Master! We will definitely follow your instructions in the future!"

Xu Qingqing nodded slightly, feeling relieved. In order to feed everyone, she had spent a lot of money in the past few days, but now it seemed worth it.

After all, only if everyone can truly see the benefits of following her, will they follow her wholeheartedly and avoid causing trouble.

At this time, taking out potatoes can make them see clearly that hope is right in front of them and they can get it with their own hands.

In this way, because the planting of potatoes will require the help of the villagers of Anping Village in the future, the two groups can also integrate better.

That night, people from Yijie Mountain and villagers from Anping Village sat together, chatting about everything under the sun and tasting delicious food.

These potato dishes not only greatly satisfied everyone's taste buds at this moment, but also brought people closer to each other.

Early the next morning, Xu Qingqing found Liu Hanwen with a large bag of processed potato seeds.

"Boss, these are the potato seeds I prepared in advance. You can bring some people with you in the next few days to open up the wasteland according to the address planned in advance. If I am not back after the opening up, you can let the people I brought teach the people in Yiji Mountain how to plant potatoes."

"By the way, please ask the boss to bring some people to build some houses, otherwise we can't let everyone live together all the time." Xu Qingqing put down the sack, wiped the sweat off her face and reminded.

Liu Hanwen looked at the sack on the ground and knew that it was filled with potato seeds, and he was a little excited. He looked at Xu Qingqing, nodded and said solemnly: "Master, don't worry, I will definitely live up to your trust!"

Xu Qingqing was satisfied to see Liu Hanwen's serious attitude: "Then I'll leave it to you, Boss!"

"Yes!" Liu Hanwen watched Xu Qingqing's back as she left, and couldn't help but sigh as he looked at her back: She is truly an amazing woman.

Xu Qingqing walked quickly outside to meet up with Xiao Yuheng and the others, her face full of determination.

She knew very well that every minute and every second was crucial at this moment. Time was life. Finding the hiding place of the Tingwei Army a moment earlier might reduce casualties.

When everyone was present, Xu Qingqing looked at the twenty villagers standing there and said, "Today we are setting out to rescue the Tingwei Army. There is one thing I want to say first!"

"I hope that we go out with 23 people and come back with 39 people! I don't want to see you lose your lives to save others! The Thunder Army is important, but you are important too! Do you hear me?"

Her voice was firm and powerful, and everyone couldn't help but become more serious as they listened.

"Yes!"

Seeing that everyone had taken her words to heart, Xu Qingqing waved her hand and said, "Let's go!"

Upon hearing this, everyone cheered up and set off.

Lu Zhenting dragged his body, which had not yet recovered, to see everyone off and saw that they were about to set off.

He clasped his hands together, bowed deeply to the group of people, and said solemnly: "Thank you, everyone!"

Upon seeing this, Xu Qingqing and her group hurriedly returned the greeting and turned to leave.

Lu Zhenting looked at Xu Qingqing and her group leaving, with hope and worry flashing in his eyes.

He hoped that they could successfully rescue his soldiers, but he was also well aware of the difficulties and dangers of Xu Qingqing and the others' journey. He knew that their lives might be in serious danger, and he couldn't help but worry about them.

He looked at the path where no one was anymore, took a deep breath, and prayed silently for them in his heart.
