The peasant girl has a private space, and her husband is handsome.

Hu Pingfan endured a difficult journey and finally arrived in the capital.

Hu Pingfan felt his heart was about to jump out of his chest as he was about to meet the wise and mighty General Su.

What should I do? I'm so nervous, like an ugly daughter-in-law about to meet her in-laws.

He asked some passersby and successfully learned the location of Gu's Teahouse.

After all, Gu's Teahouse is very famous in the capital, known to everyone.

Hu Pingfan did not go directly to Gu's Teahouse.

When meeting someone you admire for the first time, you must pay attention to your appearance so as not to frighten General Su.

He quickly spent money to get a single room at the inn, took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and carefully groomed himself.

Hu Pingfan went downstairs and asked the innkeeper, "Do you think my outfit is okay?"

"It's alright."

After asking the shopkeeper, he then asked the waiter, "Do you think there's anything wrong with what I'm doing?" Three heads are better than one, so he needed to ask several people to be sure.

After Hu Pingfan left the inn, the innkeeper sighed and said, "It's strange that a grown man cares so much about his appearance!"

Since eating maltose, Hu Pingfan's hearing has improved significantly, so even though the distance was far, he was able to hear the innkeeper's words clearly.

However, he didn't care about other people's opinions; he only cared about General Su, as long as General Su didn't think he was strange.

Hu Pingfan went to Gu's Teahouse with a heart full of excitement.

It was already afternoon.

Hu Pingfan hadn't even had lunch, yet he didn't feel hungry at all, overwhelmed by the joy of seeing Miss Su.

He rode his horse to Gu's Teahouse and met Mo Xiaobei in the lobby.

"General Mo, I am Hu Pingfan."

Mo Xiaobei was stunned for a long time. The unique goatee in front of him reminded him of Hu Pingfan, whom he had seen in Shacheng, the northern border town.

When Hu Pingfan said he wanted to follow Miss Su, he thought Hu Pingfan was just saying it casually. He never expected that Hu Pingfan would actually leave Shacheng and travel thousands of miles to the capital to follow Miss Su.

Mo Xiaobei admired Hu Pingfan's courage in disregarding everything, so he called Miss Su over from the backyard of the teahouse.

Hu Pingfan watched as Miss Su walked over from afar, and felt his blood boil.

No words can express his current excitement.

He had waited for this day for a very, very long time, and dreamed of seeing General Su.

He felt that his mission in life was to become General Su's right-hand man and help General Su achieve great things.

Although Su Qianqian was wearing a light yellow dress today, in Hu Pingfan's eyes she looked like a war god in armor, with an imposing aura.

It is said that men do not easily shed tears, but Hu Pingfan burst into tears. After seeing Miss Su, he felt that all the great grievances he had suffered were worth it.

When he was cornered in an alley by countless men in black in Jincheng, he thought he would never see Miss Su again in his life.

Unexpectedly, Miss Su's maltose saved him.

"General Su, I have finally met you. I, Hu Pingfan, am willing to follow you by your side. Please do not despise me."

"Hu Pingfan, it's a pleasure to meet you. However, I no longer lead the army. The army in Qinghe County has now been taken over by His Majesty's men."

Su Qianqian took out eight hundred taels of silver notes and handed them to Hu Pingfan.

This was, after all, Hu Pingfan's life savings. Now that Hu Pingfan had returned from the border, he could finally buy a small house in the suburbs and live a peaceful life.

"Hu Pingfan, the five hundred taels you gave me earlier can be considered your investment, and the extra three hundred taels are your dividends."

Sixty percent of the profits would be quite substantial, but Hu Pingfan refused. "No, I don't want it, General Su. Although you no longer lead troops, I still want to follow you and offer you advice. Please, General Su, just consider it fulfilling my lifelong wish."

Hu Pingfan believes that someone as talented as Miss Su is wasting her potential by only being a businesswoman.

With him by her side to mediate, it's only a matter of time before Miss Su returns to Qinghe County to take command of the troops.

Hu Pingfan was different from Master Zhang. He was older and more experienced than Master Zhang. Moreover, he had served as a strategist for many officials and had more experience as a strategist than Master Zhang.

Moreover, Hu Pingfan was more tactful and knew better how to deal with other officials.

Even when he was still in Shacheng, he was determined to win over more officials and work hard to promote the promotion of Miss Su.

Given Miss Su's achievements, she should have been granted an official position long ago, but the ministers, clinging to worldly prejudices, were unwilling to grant such a position to a woman.

But Hu Pingfan felt that as long as one has the ability, what does it matter whether one is male or female?

"If General Su doesn't take me in, I... I don't know how I'll live the rest of my life."

Su Qianqian was also quite moved. Although five hundred taels was not much, it was Hu Pingfan's life savings. Hu Pingfan had given her all his wealth, which was both a sign of trust and a belief.

She decided to treat the five hundred taels as an investment and make money with Hu Pingfan.

It's afternoon now, not yet time for dinner, but Hu Pingfan must be hungry after traveling all the way to Beijing.

"Hu Pingfan, have you had lunch yet?"

"without."

Su Qianqian soaked a large bowl of instant noodles in hot water and placed it on the table. It was the mushroom and chicken stew flavor.

She's been researching fried instant noodles lately.

In the world before I traveled back in time, many instant noodles were fried in palm oil to save costs, resulting in a mediocre taste and poor digestibility.

Su Qianqian's instant noodles were fried in lard, which made them much more fragrant than those fried in palm oil.

Moreover, it contains a uniquely prepared scallion oil, which is made with more than a dozen spices such as Sichuan peppercorns and cardamom.

The initial intention behind developing instant noodles was for the soldiers who risked their lives to protect the border. At that time, she sent Mo Xiaobei to the border to deliver supplies. When Mo Xiaobei returned, he said that the soldiers at the border couldn't even get a hot meal.

Moreover, the cook was a big, rough fellow who either put too much or too little salt in the food, making it taste like pig swill.

So, having some free time lately, she started researching instant noodles.

Now it's a good time for Hu Pingfan to give his opinion on these instant noodles.

"Hu Pingfan, eat it while it's hot."

Hu Pingfan sniffed, feeling the fragrance reaching right up to the top of his head.

Oh my god, it smells so good!

I only regret that I arrived too late. If I had come to Miss Su's side earlier, I would have been able to eat such delicious noodles long ago.

He picked up a mouthful of noodles with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth, a look of amazement on his face.

"General Su, I've lived for over forty years and I've never eaten such delicious noodles before. They're so fragrant and chewy."

That's how instant noodles are. People who haven't tried them before are amazed the first time they eat them, but after trying them a few times, they just feel that they're nothing special.

"Once you've eaten enough, it won't be as amazing as it used to be."

Hu Pingfan disagreed, saying, "Even if you get tired of eating too much, it doesn't mean the noodles are bad. Even the most delicious food gets boring after a while."
