I have to say that this sweet potato porridge and mashed potatoes are really good food for nourishing people.
Liu He ate a large bowl of mashed potatoes and two large bowls of sweet potato porridge, and burped with satisfaction.
The weather is getting colder, and it is really refreshing to drink a bowl of hot porridge and work up a sweat.
"I asked you, Aniu, how old are you this year?"
A Niu was obviously stunned, and after a long time he said: "I will be twenty after this winter.
You forgot, I was born in the first month of the year."
Liu He nodded and said with emotion: "Yes, you are almost twenty.
Time flies so fast.
In the blink of an eye, you have become a man."
Aniu swallowed and said, "Brother Liu, why are you talking about this?"
"Nothing, just a few words with you."
Liu He's eyes were a little red: "Nearly all the people in our village are dead.
There are only a handful of people who can survive.
I look at you as if I were my nephew."
It turned out that Liu He's nephew starved to death while fleeing famine.
Liu He watched his nephew starve to death but could do nothing.
The pain is absolutely beyond words.
It happened that A Niu and his nephew were similar in age and both were from the same village, so they naturally looked at him with a bit of doting.
"Brother Liu" A Niu was choked up and his eyes were red.
"Stop talking.
Don't worry, I will be as filial to you as your own nephew."
He paused and then said: "By the way, Brother Liu, do you still want to eat sweet potato porridge?
I'll serve you another bowl."
Liu He was amused by him, patted his head and said: "Drink whatever you want, I'm not a regular."
A Niu's face turned red at Liu He's doting behavior, and he immediately fell silent.
"You are already twenty years old, and it's time to find a wife.
Tell me what kind of wife you want to find, and I'll help you.
Rich people don't dare to climb high, but I still have some face in the midst of hardship."
Since he already regards A Niu as his nephew, Liu He will naturally take his life-long events into consideration.
"What, Brother Liu, don't talk nonsense.
Is there any girl who is willing to marry me now?
Let's wait until I have accomplished a great career."
A Niu said quickly.
"Good boy, Lao Liu, I believe in you."
"Okay, you kid, stop hanging around me.
Go out and see if there is any work.
Since we plan to stay here in Qingzhou Prefecture, we can't just idle around.
We must find something to do."
Liu He looked at A Niu earnestly and lovingly.
"Why."
I really can’t think of anything other than A Niu.
"I'm going out to find work right now."
After speaking, A Niu turned and walked towards the door.
When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and turned around and said, "Brother Liu, remember what I said before.
Be careful that someone is watching us secretly."

After leaving home, Aniu walked towards Qingzhou City.
He was not looking for a job, but looking for information.
The town is full of disaster victims and nothing can be found out.
If you want to find out the news, you have to go to Qingzhou City.
Nowadays, the government does not restrict disaster victims from entering the city, as long as there is not a large-scale influx.
Therefore, A Niu was able to successfully enter Qingzhou City.
This is not his first time entering Qingzhou City.
To him, there was nothing special about the scene in the city.
It's nothing more than a faint sense of satisfaction on the faces of the people in the city.
A Niu didn't understand why they were like this.
Logically speaking, shouldn’t living in troubled times be miserable?
Is it because of sweet potatoes and potatoes that they feel there is hope in life?
A Niu ignored these thoughts and walked towards a teahouse.
Teahouses, wine shops, brothels.
This is the easiest place to pry for information.
Probably because there is a mixture of people from all three religions and nine sects here.
Ah Niu, a liquor store and brothel, can't afford it now, so she can only go to the teahouse.
Here you only need to spend a copper coin to drink a big bowl full of tea.
Even if you sit here for an hour, no one will chase you away.
For people of A Niu's status, teahouses are the best place to get information.
He walked into the teahouse without hesitation, found a seat near the roadside and sat down.
The waiter immediately came over and asked with a smile: "What would you like to drink, sir?
We have the best West Lake Longjing, as well as the Dahongpao and Tieguanyin."
"Bring me a big bowl of tea."
A Niu patted down a copper plate and interrupted the waiter's words.
What was also interrupted was the smile on the waiter's face.
But he didn't say much, and quietly withdrew.
Aniu closed his eyes and waited quietly.
He was used to it.
As long as he closes his eyes, his heart will be quiet.
As long as the mind is quiet, he can detect useful information.
Sure enough, the tea guests sitting next to him were talking a lot, and what they said naturally fell into A Niu's ears.
"Have you heard that King Gui has been defeated and fled to Annan?"
"Ah, the news that King Gui fled to Annan can't be false, right?"
"Hey, it's not like you don't know that my nephew's third uncle is working in the yamen.
His information is first-hand and cannot be false."
"This King Gui is too spineless.
He just ran away if he couldn't beat him.
He just ran back to Guangxi.
He actually ran to Annan.
A land like Annan can't resist it.
I'm afraid King Gui has a bump on his head."
Bar."
"It depends on what you said.
King Gui is also helpless.

If you rebel, you will have to go all the way to the dark side.
If you are captured, you will have to be decapitated."
"That's true."
A Niu captured this information keenly.
He was still shocked.
King Gui is indeed a coward, but he is too incapable of being beaten.
Originally A Niu thought that King Gui could still drag him to the court for a few months.
This would give the Qing court time to plant and harvest potatoes and sweet potatoes.
But now it seems that the Ming army saved all this time.
If the Ming army takes advantage of this moment to march north in large numbers, the Qing army may not be able to hold it back.
A Niu couldn't help but worry about the Qing army.
No, this news must be conveyed to the Prince Regent so that he can make preparations in advance.
Just as A Niu was about to get up, he heard the tea guests at another table chatting.
"Have you heard that Li Dingguo and Ai Nengqi have surrendered?
These are the remnants of the Daxi thieves.
Even if they surrender, the southwest will be completely peaceful."
"That's great.
First there was the Yunnan rebellion, and then Sichuan.
Now that these two places are being stabilized, the court does not need to invest too much energy in these two places."
"I heard that the imperial court is planning a Northern Expedition."
"Oh, the fight is about to begin."
"No way.
To the north of Sichuan is Hanzhong.
In my opinion, if you want to conquer Guanzhong, you must first capture Hanzhong.
Originally, Hanzhong was the territory of the Western Bandits.
With Li Dingguo and Ai Nengqi, it will be much easier for the court to capture Hanzhong
