Qian Ling immediately stuffed the tomatoes in his hand to Qiu Laohan, and said with a smile: "Of course!" I won't eat this. ”

In the evening, the kitchen.

Hu Niu and Ping'an were helping to peel tomatoes, while Qian Ling was holding a dagger and drawing a shallow cross on the tomatoes, like frost burning a fire in front of the stove, and Xia Xiaoyu stood in front of the stove to boil the first pot of tomato sauce.

The sweet and sour taste spread in the kitchen, the little ones were peeling the skin and swallowing saliva at the same time, Xia Xiaoyu couldn't help but smile, "These tomato sauce are condiments, if you are greedy, I will fry some potato strips later, and we can dip them in potato strips and eat them." ”

When Hu Niu and Ping'an heard this, they immediately nodded.

The Spirit's eyes lit up.

She now follows Xia Xiaoyu every day, and Yahuan doesn't want to take them anymore, so she sends them directly in the [Lotus Courtyard].

Baili Huaqing walked in from the outside and was relieved to see that the big and small gluttonous cats in a kitchen were all together. However, when he saw Xia Xiaoyu sweating and stirring the red sauce in the pot, he immediately felt distressed.

"Xiaoyu, you're not alone now, how can you do these jobs?"

Qian Ling glanced at him, and raised the bar deliberately, "Baili Huaqing, you are so strange, Doctor Song didn't say anything, only said that you can't do heavy work, why are you so nervous here?" I don't know who it is, but ...... early in the morning."

Baili Huaqing swept over with a cold light, and Qian Ling was immediately silent.

Xia Xiaoyu stirred the thickening sauce in the pot, and replied without raising his head: "How can it be so exaggerated, you are too strange." You go out, the kitchen is not the place for you to stay. ”

Baili Huaqing walked over, snatched the special long chopsticks in her hand, and said, "No!" You go out with me. ”

"Don't make a fuss! Give me the chopsticks, this sauce should be stirred constantly, and if it will be paste, I will only ask you. Xia Xiaoyu stretched out his hand and grabbed the chopsticks, "What you just said in the morning, don't forget it so quickly." ”

Baili Huaqing was choked up and watched her work again.

He simply walked over to Hu Niu and sat down, "Hu Niu, Ping, what are you doing here?" ”

"Peel the tomatoes." Hu Niu put the peeled tomatoes in her hand into the pot on the side, picked up another one, and peeled it neatly, "Dad, do you want to be together?" ”

"Me?"

Qian Ling laughed at him, "He is a man, or a prince, how can he sit in the kitchen and do things?" ”

Baili Huaqing was provoked by her, and she was not fooled, she nodded with a smile, "It's still a princess who understands a man's heart." ”

"Of course ......" Ling Ling suddenly stopped, and looked at Baili Huaqing in disbelief, "Baili Huaqing, are you still a man?" You actually call me a girl who has not been out of the cabinet? ”

Seeing Bai Lihua's lazy glance, Qian Ling asked Xia Xiaoyu for help, "Xiaoyu, take care of your man, how can you watch him bully me like this?" We're sisters. ”

"Sisters?" Baili Huaqing sneered, "Who said today that she wanted Xiaoyu to be her imperial sister-in-law?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Hu Niu and Ping'an also turned their heads and glared at Qian Ling, who hurriedly waved his hand and smiled at Hu Niu and Ping'an, "I was angry with your father, who let him always bully me." ”

"Really?"

"Really!" She responded with a weak heart, she really wanted to be angry at that time.

The tiger girl lowered her head and continued to peel the skin, too lazy to bother with their adult affairs, "That's okay!" As long as you don't hit my mother's idea, otherwise, I will see you and bite you once in peace. ”

"No, no! Of course not! Qian Ling remembered the pain of being bitten by the tiger girl, and couldn't help but feel a sense of fear.

Xia Xiaoyu felt that Baili Huaqing was sitting in the kitchen, and this picture was too discordant, so he rushed at him and said, "If you want to help, why don't you go and help wash those blue and white porcelain jars stacked in the yard, and after they are dried, I will use them to hold these tomato sauces." ”

Those were all customized by her asking Rushuang to take to the cellar yard according to the sketches.

"Wash porcelain jars?" Baili Huaqing's mind quickly appeared a picture of a beautiful man sitting by the wooden basin, holding a cotton cloth in his hand, washing small porcelain jars one by one, and his brows couldn't help frowning.

"I'll have to discuss water conservancy matters with others later, I'm afraid I won't be able to wash much?"

Forget it, it's better for him to leave the kitchen.

Lingpi looked at him with a smile and asked coldly, "You won't be unwilling to wash the porcelain jar, right?" ”

Baili Huaqing shook his head, "I'll really have something to do later." ”

"Why don't I believe it so much?" The spirit pressed on him unrelentingly.

"Lingling, he really has something, I know about this, don't make trouble." Xia Xiaoyu hurriedly relieved Baili Huaqing, and Ling Ling was not very happy to hear it, "Xiaoyu, you haven't married him yet, why did you start helping him?" Be careful, don't spoil him. ”

"I didn't!" Xia Xiaoyu immediately clarified, but in exchange for Baili Huaqing's affectionate eyes, and other people's funny eyes.

Baili Huaqing suddenly whistled and shouted, "Dongzi, come down." ”

When the voice fell, Dongzi came in from outside, "Master." ”

Baili Huaqing glanced at Ling Ling meaningfully, "Dongzi, those porcelain jars in the courtyard outside, you find someone to wash them all with you." After speaking, he said to Xia Xiaoyu: "Xiaoyu, I have to go ahead and be busy!" Be careful, don't get tired. ”

"Good! There you go! Xia Xiaoyu nodded, looking at Dongzi's bitter face on the side, she felt like laughing.

"Dongzi, did you hear that?" Baili Huaqing couldn't wait for Dongzi's response, so he turned his head to look at him and asked again.

Dongzi arched his hand, "Master, my subordinates obey the order!" ”

On his mouth, but in his heart he was very reluctant, thinking that he was the right and left hand of Baili Huaqing, but it turned out that he had to wash a bunch of porcelain jars. This is really overkill, killing chickens with a knife.

Baili Huaqing went out satisfied.

A lunge

Qian Ling rushed to Dongzi with an arrow, pointed to the porcelain jars in the courtyard, and said, "Wash them all, we have to check them, if you find an unclean one, you have to wash them all." ”

Dongzi ignored her, turned around and went outside.

Pouring his spirit, he stepped forward to stop in front of him, and glared at him angrily, "What is your attitude?" This princess talks to you, and you shouldn't say a word? Do you have me as a princess in your eyes? ”

"You are the princess of the Western Borderlands." Dongzi reminded her lightly.

Ling Ling smiled disapprenously: "So what? You can ignore me, the princess of the western kingdom, on behalf of the Hundred Miles Country? Or do you simply look down on the West Linguo? ”

"You?" Being pressed down by such a big hat, Dongzi was anxious and angry, and after thinking about it, he decided to show weakness temporarily, "Her Royal Highness the princess teaches that Dongzi must remember in the future that the princess is high, and Dongzi must look up and worship, worship it like a bodhisattva." ”

The sour and implied mocking words made the spirit very unhappy.

"Hmph—this princess has a lot of them, and she doesn't know them like a stingy man like you. Go! Wash the jar, don't get in the way of Princess Ben's eyes here. ”

Dongzi turned around coolly, "Good men don't fight with women." ”

"You?" The spirit pointed at him, so angry that he couldn't speak.

Xia Xiaoyu put the first pot of tomato sauce and poured it into the second pot, seeing the appearance of Qian Ling's anger, he couldn't help but smile, "Ling Ling, don't be angry." Let me tell you, if a woman is angry, it will affect the skin and wrinkles. Don't you want to be beautiful? ”

When he heard this, he immediately said, "I don't want wrinkles, forget it, I don't have the same knowledge as that man." I'm here to help, so I don't pay attention to this kind of man. ”

Dongzi listened to a man like her outside, and the man said dissatisfiedly: "I don't care about women like you." ”

The next day, at the gate of the courtyard, four carriages rushed to the county seat one after the other.

Qian Ling thought that she could go to the county seat together to join in the fun, and her eyes lit up with excitement. grabbed Xia Xiaoyu along the way, kept asking this and that, and the noise was so noisy that Baili Huaqing couldn't stand it, and couldn't wait to close her mouth.

Hu Niu and Ping An did not come together, because Hu Niu may have a recurrence of toxins at any time, and Rushuang stopped in the other courtyard to protect and take care of them.

In the county seat, the streets are full of lights and beaming. After Lei Yiming received the news, he sent someone to tidy up the street and built a large platform in the center of the most prosperous area of East Street.

Behind the platform is the first restaurant in Ancheng [Anyue Restaurant], Xia Xiaoyu has heard that the largest restaurant in Ancheng is Wang Dafu's, his restaurant is not only famous in Ancheng, but also has branches in all cities and counties of Baili Country.

Baili Huaqing led Xia Xiaoyu out of the carriage, and then Qian Ling jumped out of the carriage excitedly, looking around curiously, and suddenly, her eyes stopped at the window on the second floor of [Anyue Restaurant].

At this moment, there are two handsome men standing in front of the window, they are richly dressed and have extraordinary appearances, and they look like the sons of some big family.

Ling Ling blinked, and then looked hard at it, and saw that the other party nodded at her, and made a silent gesture, and she confirmed the fact of what she saw.

How did he get here?

Xia Xiaoyu turned his head to look, broke away from Baili Huaqing's hand, stepped forward and took Ling Ling's hand, and asked with concern: "Ling Ling, what's wrong with you?" I was still in high spirits just now, why did I calm down all of a sudden? Is there something uncomfortable? ”

Ling Ling shook his head, "I don't feel uncomfortable in anything, I just haven't been to such a lively place in a long time." ”

[Quiet Valley] is a quiet place, but also a place that is almost isolated from the rest of the world. Every day there, I and Xia Xiaoyu are not patrolling the ground everywhere, or in the seedling room, or more in the kitchen, to satisfy the stomach of foodies.

That kind of life was different from what she had lived before, it was completely different.

However, she seems to have slowly liked this kind of stable and not monotonous life. Later, the stars and the moon were served by a large group of people, and now she has learned to take care of herself, cook by herself, and learn to go to the ground, and really experience the life of ordinary people.

She found that the life of ordinary people is very pure, and their greatest wish is to be well fed and warmly clothed.

And unlike the people who live in the royal family, none of them are simple. Even if she is loved by thousands of people, but she is surrounded by scheming and conspiracy, and after seeing too much, her heart is no longer simple.

This is why she later fell in love with Xia Xiaoyu.

Because Xia Xiaoyu is very real, he doesn't have any scheming.

"I thought you weren't feeling well. It's okay, soon you'll be able to live the kind of life you have in the future. Xia Xiaoyu thought she was tired of the monotonous life of [Jingchu Valley].

Ling Linghui held her hand, "Xiaoyu, I find that I don't like my previous life anymore. ”

"Huh?" Xia Xiaoyu looked at her stunned.

Qian Ling smiled and said, "Let's talk about this later, you still have very important things to do." I'm a little dizzy in the carriage, so I'll go to [Yue'an Restaurant] to sit for a while, rest assured! I'm going to choose a window spot, and I want to see you in style. ”

"Good! There you go! Xia Xiaoyu was a little worried, and instructed the maid ring beside Ling Ling, and said, "You guys take care of the princess, and you must inform Prince An in time if there is anything." ”

"Got it, girl."

Ling Ling nodded at her, let go of her hand, and led the girls into the [Yue'an Restaurant].

Ling Ling went directly to the second floor, walked to the table next to the two men just now, and sat down. She and the man sat back to back, and as soon as she sat down, she leaned in front of the window and waved at Xia Xiaoyu, who was standing on the stage and looking up.

Xia Xiaoyu saw that she was fine, so she was relieved.

"Ling'er, your relationship with Xia Xiaoyu looks good, you didn't treat [Jingchu Valley] in vain." The man behind him took all the qiē in his eyes,

In the eyes of the income, there is already a childish plan in his heart.

Qian Ling nervously replied, "Don't hurt her." ”

"Huh! Ling'er, after knowing her existence at the beginning, you didn't have such an attitude. He chuckled a few times behind him, "Ling'er, don't forget the purpose of your coming here, some people are destined to not stay." ”

"No—" exhaled Ling Ling, "you can't kill her!" Leave her down, if she takes it for her own use, she will definitely make our Xilin Kingdom go to the next level. You don't know what she's capable of, but she can make the barren land have a good harvest. She can grow things we've never seen before, you'll find out later. ”

"Even if she can stay, what about Baili Huaqing?" The man asked coldly.

Ling Ling couldn't help but shudder, "You want to ...... It turns out that those people are really instructed by you? ”

The people of the Eagle Gang, Dong'er, and the fake Doctor Qin, it turned out that he really arranged it secretly.

"Ling'er, you shouldn't say it anymore, just understand it in your heart. Be careful to have ears. The man swept around the lobby on the second floor, and then, again, "You must seize the opportunity, let me not stop you, and you will have to do the rest." ”

"Nope! I can't! ”

"Don't forget your country and identity, this is what you should do for the people."

"Nope! I? The spirit refused.

It's not her responsibility.

These days, she knows more clearly that the people want a life of peace and contentment, not war. She didn't want to provoke a war between the two countries with her own hands, and she didn't want to be a sinner in the hearts of the people.

"Ling'er, you should know my temper, if I take action, the consequences will definitely not be what you want to see." The man behind him threatened her, and his eyes shot coldly at a man and a woman on the stage.

Can this Xia Xiaoyu really be used by him?

It is absolutely impossible to keep her in Baili Country, which will only ruin his plans for many years.

"I see." Qian Ling's face was pale and bloodless, and he turned his head to look at the stage, and there was a thick astringency in his heart.

Does it have to be this way?

Do the people of the western kingdom want to do the same?

Her heart was full of uncertainty.

After a while, there was a commotion below, and then it quieted down again, and Bailihua's clear and deep voice rang out, "Ladies and gentlemen of Anseong, today this king has set up a high platform here to hold a free food festival for everyone." Later, there will be a lot of food that you have not eaten before, so you can enjoy it to your heart's content. ”

"Oh, that's great!"

There was a cheer from the audience.

At this time, Lei Yiming made a gesture to everyone, and the people quieted down and looked at the stage quietly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's be quiet for a while, the prince still has something to say to you."

Bailihua glanced at the crowd, picked up one from a plate of tomatoes on the table in front of him, and introduced it loudly to everyone, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is called tomatoes, which can be fruits, vegetables, and sauce. It is sweet and sour, delicious, and beneficial to the human body. ”

After saying that, he put down the tomato, picked up a potato from the plate on the side, and continued to introduce it to the people. From its growth cycle, how much the harvest is, and how delicious it is, these are all explained one by one.

The audience was quiet, and everyone listened with relish.

When he saw that it was almost over, he asked people to inform Xia Xiaoyu that the food she had prepared could be brought out of the kitchen of [Yue'an Restaurant]. The delicacies were served on the long table one by one, and Lei Yiming asked the people to line up to taste it.

Due to the limited number of people, half of the people present had tasted various delicacies.

As soon as the men went down, the crowd exploded, and they couldn't bother to talk about it anymore.

"Those dishes are delicious."

"That potato is very good, I heard that it can be made into flour, it can be cooked directly, and it can be eaten as rice."

"That tomato is also good, I heard that it can bear a lot of fruit, and it is easy to grow."

“……”

Baili Huaqing and Xia Xiaoyu glanced at each other, very happy to see the expected scene. Lei Yiming walked to the front of the stage, smiled at the people in the audience, and said: "Fathers and fellow villagers, I believe everyone knows how good these two things are." Now the prince is also preparing to promote more new crops, just to make our land harvest every year, so that we will never go hungry again. So, isn't that good? ”

"Okay-" In the crowd, the sound of response resounded in the sky.

On the second floor of [Yue'an Restaurant], the man sitting back to back with the Ling Ling looked at the scene in front of him, and his eyes couldn't help but overflow with a cold light, he looked at the enthusiastic people on the street coldly, beckoned the man on the side to come over, and whispered a few words in his ear.

The man nodded, and hurried downstairs.

Qian Ling frowned and asked lightly, "What did you let him do?" ”
