Chapter 264: Chapter 129: Gu Jiuyue’s Only Solution_2

You guys from Hei Province Xiangshui Miye sell your high-end rice at forty or fifty yuan per jin, basically all from the core production area surrounding the rice, there’s no situation where it can’t be bought.

But indeed, the core production area doesn’t produce enough to go around, so Yueyue’s dad entrusted someone to secure a few acres of land. The land is still theirs, they just buy back the rice at a high price every year, store it unhusked, and whenever they want to eat it or give it away, they just process it. It’s like they can eat fresh rice at any moment...

"Oh~~~"

Gu Jiuyue exclaimed with her mouth open, "So fresh rice means rice that has just been husked..."

Professor Wang nodded with a smile, "Exactly! Rice is good for storage. After the autumn harvest, it can be kept until summer of the next year, and after processing, it’s still fresh rice."

What does it mean to pamper your daughter with wealth?!

Su Huai gained a new understanding of this question.

The rice is homegrown, the sheep, too—what’s next?

Su Huai shifted his gaze to the other dishes.

Steamed pork knuckle, cumin lamb, shrimp with celery, black bean oil mustard greens, vermicelli baby cabbage, braised mushrooms and wood ear, and spinach meatball tofu soup.

All of them are home-cooked dishes that look very ordinary.

Professor Wang took the initiative to pick up a piece of shrimp for Su Huai, warmly introducing, "Su, try this shrimp. It’s the largest size of high-latitude peony shrimp, specially sourced by your uncle’s seafood wholesale company for personal use. If it weren’t for Yueyue who can’t eat raw food, sushi made from this shrimp would have the best texture."

I’m totally convinced! Stop scaring the kid already!

Su Huai didn’t dare to look at the translucent shrimp. He simply popped it into his mouth, savoring the bursting juiciness, and silently shed tears in his heart.

Who could afford to raise this girl?

Let alone raising her, even thinking about chasing her would require one to consider whether they have the chops for it.

Eating soft rice is easy to say, but if you can’t digest it, it could burst your belly.

According to Su Huai’s understanding, a person under 30 with an after-tax annual salary of 200,000 yuan in the Imperial Capital is considered impressive among contemporaries, and even if you count those from Central Enterprises, State-owned Enterprises, Ministries, and Schools, only a few employees in the finance and IT sectors can reach this standard.

But this impressive, prideful salary... can barely cover her regular meals.

No, it might not even be enough!

With a daily meal budget of only 550 yuan, a jin of rice costs over 100, plus ingredients and fruits from all over the place, the delivery fee alone would be tight.

Lucky for me, I didn’t harbor any ulterior motives and only wanted to earn some of your favorability...

Thinking this, Su Huai turned pressure into motivation and decided not to dwell on those thoughts; he’d focus on eating his fill first.

"Delicious!"

Su Huai kept his head down and plowed through his food, finishing the small bowl of rice in just a few bites, then boldly asked Gu Jiuyue, "Where’s the pot? I need to add some more rice."

Old Wang intended to rattle Su Huai, but Su Huai couldn’t afford to upstage him and ruin the mood, so he just let loose and showed off.

Never mind anything else, today I’m going to eat my fill and eat well.

Seeing her good friend enjoying her family’s meals so much, Gu Jiuyue smiled crinkly-eyed and actually took the initiative to take the bowl to serve him.

"You sit, I’ll serve you!"

Wow!

You have your diligent moments?

Both Professor Cheng and Professor Wang were surprised, but they reacted quite differently.

Professor Cheng watched with a smile, feeling this was more than good; his good granddaughter had friends and also showed the normal hospitality of a girl, which was priceless.

But Old Wang was jealous, his mind full of his good granddaughter being too kind to outsiders and becoming less close to him; he feared losing his highest status... and so on.

In fact, Su Huai seemed like a good kid to him, but that still wasn’t okay; no matter how good the man, anyone competing with him for his granddaughter deserved a beating.

But he was helpless and could only watch without daring to intervene.

At home, he didn’t have the final say.

Gu Jiuyue happily filled Su Huai’s bowl to the brim with rice and then turned to ask, "Is that enough?"

In his mind, Su Huai thought: How could it be enough? A bowl can only hold so much; can you create more space for me? Such a redundant question.

But his words were sweet, "Thank you, Gugu. Grandma’s cooking is so delicious; today I’m prepared to leave leaning on the wall."

"Good, good, good!"

Professor Cheng was overjoyed, "Eat as much as you want, and make sure not to leave anything!"

Su Huai converted his frustrations into appetite, almost licking the plates clean.

In the end, he dumped the pork knuckle soup and the rest of the leftovers into his bowl, mixed it with the clean-scraped rice from the rice cooker, and in two gulps, it was all gone.

The old lady didn’t mind his rough eating manners at all; instead, she planned the next meal for him.

"Come again next time, Grandma will prepare a few special dishes for you in advance. Young boys need to eat more meat to grow tall and strong!"

Really, no matter how she looked at him, Su Huai was pleasing to her eye.

Accompanying to the end, the already battle-weary Gu Jiuyue nodded along, "I also really like friends who can eat; they look so full of life."

With just three simple words, Old Wang’s full heart of displeasure instantly melted away.

He suddenly understood why his precious granddaughter liked Su Huai so much.

Because Su Huai represented what she most envied, possessing a vigor she had never felt before.

To his precious granddaughter, Su Huai was not just a class president and a playmate but also a symbol of longing and aspiration.

"Su, you should come over often in the future," Old Wang couldn’t help but say. "Yueyue ate an extra half bowl of rice following you today; you’ve done a great job!"

Really?

Then your tea...

Su Huai grinned broadly and nodded earnestly, "Grandma Cheng’s cooking is so delicious, and I can learn the art of tea from you, experiencing the wonder of fine tea. As long as you don’t mind, I’ll definitely come often if I have the chance!"
