General, Your Wife Is Requesting Your Return Home For Farming novel Chapter 237

237 Coexisting Pleasantly

Su Cheng’s normal attempts at culinary feats were relatively unpalatable, but today, he performed exceptionally.

Qin Canglan seemed to have been struck by lightning, which rolled across his body, and even every strand of white hair was burned.

The last time he had eaten such bad food was when his first wife was alive.

The big man looked like he could eat a lot… Su Cheng calmly placed all the roasted sweet potatoes on his lap.

Qin Canglan choked on the roasted sweet potato that was difficult to swallow.

Not long after, Su Ergou returned with his burden.

He went to the market to buy a basket of dried goods. There were peanuts, sesame seeds, some dried mushrooms, and yellow cauliflower. He originally wanted to buy dried plum vegetables, but he was late and they were all sold out.

In the countryside, not many people liked dried plum vegetables, except when they were stuffed in Su Ji’s dried plum vegetable pancakes.

The other basket contained food for the foal. There were corn cobs, barley, and some tender grass and beans.

“Dad, I’m back!”

Su Ergou placed the burden on the ground and saw an additional man in the courtyard. The man had white hair and a beard. He looked about the same age as Old Master Su in the countryside, but he was much stronger and burly than him.

“Dad, we have a guest?”

Su Ergou asked.

“Oh, Dahu sneaked out just now. It was this… Grandpa who sent Dahu back.” Su Cheng suddenly realized that he did not know how to address him.

Qin Canglan thought for a moment and said, “My surname is Qin.”

“Oh.” Su Cheng rubbed his hands. Why did he especially want to extort this person…

Qin Canglan did not know what Su Cheng was thinking. He looked at Su Ergou.

Su Ergou was tanned and had pure black skin. Compared to those pink-headed young masters in the capital, Qin Canglan felt that a child like Su Ergou looked more pleasing to the eye.

For some reason, he thought of Qin Yun.

Qin Yun was about the same age as the child in front of him, but it was obvious that Qin Yun was much weaker. He had practiced martial arts since he was young. Not only had he learned not learned much, but his body was not strong either. He was afraid of the cold and heat. If he was not careful, he would fall ill.

Su Ergou first placed the dry goods in the kitchen and brought a bucket over to make feed for the foal.

He held a heavy bucket in each hand. It was obvious that he often worked. His arm strength was extremely good, and his lower body was stable.

“Are you going to feed the horses?” Qin Canglan asked.

The Qin family’s cavalry was very powerful. Qin Canglan had interacted with many horses. When he saw what Su Ergou was preparing, he deduced that it was the horse’s feed.

Su Ergou said, “Yes.”

Qin Canglan asked, “Are there no alkaline straw and medick?”

“What?” Su Ergou had never heard of it.

Qin Canglan said, “These are two types of grass. Horses can become stronger after eating them.”

As Su Ergou mixed the feed, he said, “Oh, then I’ll look for it at the market next time.”

It was probably not sold in the market…

This kind of grass was extremely rare in the capital. The Qin family had their own ranch that was especially used to raise warhorses in the military camp.

While Qin Canglan was deep in thought, Su Ergou went to the backyard to bring the foal over.

Qin Canglan glanced around and paused. “This horse…”

Su Ergou touched the foal’s neck. “Oh, you’re talking about it. It’s very beautiful, right? My sister bought it. When she first bought it, it was thin and small. It was a premature horse cub. The villagers said that it couldn’t be raised alive. Isn’t this quite good!”

The foal puffed out its chest and jumped twice valiantly.

Qin Canglan’s eyes moved slightly.

This was a desert warhorse that was better than a Ferghana horse.

“Can I… touch it?” Qin Canglan asked.

The only thing that could appeal to a cavalry commander was a warhorse.

“Oh, sure.” Su Ergou patted the foal and brought it to Qin Canglan.

The foal was very obedient.

Qin Canglan touched its mane and bones.
