The traitorous boss travels through time: The princess is causing trouble again!
Chapter 64: Discovering Good Things, Hope for the Village
Tang Xiluo rolled his eyes, then generously tore off a chicken leg and handed it over: "Here, no more."
Giving him a chicken leg is the biggest concession I can make, I can’t give him anything more.
Zhan Jingchen raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Really give it to me?"
Tang Xiluo was speechless: "Am I that kind of stingy person?"
After eating and drinking, she wiped the corners of her mouth and walked out feeling a little guilty.
The village chief was the first to notice her coming out, and he quickly called out, "Madam, come and have dinner."
Everyone was eating the food distributed by Baili Yu, and Shen Jingbei was still boiling the medicine. The boiling time was quite long, so everyone had to wait more than an hour after eating the food before they could drink the medicine.
Tang Xiluo saw that everyone didn't have much food, but they were still thinking about sharing it with him. His face suddenly turned slightly red: "Ahem, I'm not hungry, everyone eat."
Zhan Jingchen raised the corners of his mouth. He was not hungry, but was obviously too full.
She jumped off the carriage: "I'll go take a walk around." To help digest the food, she not only ate the beggar's chicken, but also the pastries and cakes prepared in the carriage.
When Baili Yu heard this, he quickly shoveled the last of the rice into his mouth and then put down the bamboo bowl.
"Boss, I'll go with you!" It's dark here, and it's not safe for the boss to go alone as a woman.
Zhan Jingchen's face turned dark. Does this brat have any sense at all?
"Ahem, I'll go for a walk with you."
Baili Yu jumped up and down: "I want to go too."
Shen Jingbei grabbed the silly boy's arm and said, "Go, go, go, why are you going? Add more firewood to the fire here."
Baili Yu was so angry that he screamed, this annoying guy just knew how to make things difficult for him!
"With so many guards, do you still need me?"
Shen Jingbei said nonsense seriously: "They need to protect the box, they don't have time."
Baili Yu's eyes darkened, and he looked at the guards who were chatting with the villagers, and was speechless for a long time: "..."
"Okay, okay, okay! I owe you!"
Shen Jingbei raised his eyebrows: "Who gave you the money to buy those foods just now?"
Baili Yu: "I'll go with you to buy herbs and protect you all the way. What's wrong with you buying me some food?"
Shen Jingbei stated the facts: "But there was no danger on the road."
Zhan Jingchen said with a dark face: "Shut up, both of you! If you keep arguing, you will be punished!"
When the two heard this, they immediately quieted down.
After dinner, the village chief stood up with the help of a cane and said, "Madam, let me take you two out for a walk. I am familiar with the road and can help you avoid wild animals. There are many insects and animals in the mountains at night."
Zhan Jingchen nodded. There were forests everywhere and it would be difficult to find the way back if you walked too far.
So the village chief and two other young men led the way, and Lei San and three guards protected them behind.
There were two people in front holding torches to provide lighting.
Tang Xiluo looked at the forest. It was very deep and if he got lost he might not be able to go back.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up. What was that in front of her? Sugarcane? It was dark and she couldn't see clearly.
So she took the torch from the guard and said, "Lend it to me for a while."
Then I took the torch and walked towards the small sections of the plant over there. From a distance at night, they looked like both sugarcane and bamboo.
When I got closer, I saw that Tang Xiluo looked happy.
"Look what I found! Come over here, everyone!"
Zhan Jingchen strode over and fell silent. Is this... a good thing? The tree doesn't look like a tree, and the bamboo doesn't look like a bamboo.
The villagers came over and looked, also a little puzzled: "Madam, what is this?"
Tang Xiluo was stunned. They didn't know about sugar cane in their time? It seemed that in the history she knew, sugar cane was called "tuo" in the Qin Dynasty. Could it be that the name was different?
"This one's called Tuo, do you remember it?"
Everyone looked at each other, with confusion in their eyes.
Tang Xiluo suddenly realized that it was not that it had other names, but that they simply didn't know that this thing was edible!
Otherwise, how could there be such a large area of sugarcane? However, the land here is not fertile enough, and the sugarcane here is also thin and small. Fortunately, there is enough sunlight, so it is good enough if it can grow into a crooked melon or a cracked date.
The villagers shook their heads and said, "We don't know it. It's just a strange tree in the forest. Everyone calls it bamboo."
Tang Xiluo twitched his lips and said, "Are you guys just not happy with this tree?"
The village chief nodded and said, "We used to chop it up for firewood, but this one is a bit sticky after being chopped, and it doesn't burn well, so we just left it alone."
Tang Xiluo was completely helpless. He chopped down the trees and burned them for firewood. Who said your village was poor? You were wasting the natural resources without realizing it! He chopped down the trees and burned them for firewood. Didn't he smell the sweet smell? Didn't he think of tasting them?
Maybe because it is moist inside, it is difficult to ignite if it is not dried.
When Zhan Jingchen heard the villagers mention making fire, she looked distressed and couldn't help but become interested and expectant.
What kind of surprise will she give herself this time?
"Lolo, what on earth is this? Do you know it?"
Tang Xiluo heard him address her and sighed slightly. Are they that familiar with each other?
"Ahem, this is good stuff. It's the hope of the village!"
When the village chief heard this, he couldn't believe it: "This bamboo tree is the hope of the village? Could it be a medicinal herb that can detoxify us?"
Tang Xiluo shook his head: "This thing is delicious."
Everyone: "..." I can't believe it. An edible tree? Is there a famine yet?
Zhan Jingchen: “…” She’s not hungry on weekdays, right?
Tang Xiluo continued excitedly: "This thing can make you rich. It's not surprising that you become the richest man in the nearby county. If the quantity is large, you can even become richer than others."
Everyone gasped in disbelief. Madam, this joke is too big, isn't it? ! Being rich is not something that can be achieved simply.
Tang Xiluo was thinking that sugar seemed to be quite expensive in this era. Scarcity makes things valuable, and sugarcane can be used to make sugar.
Zhan Jingchen held his forehead with his hand and said, "We've been walking for such a long time, let's go back and rest." He was so tired that he started to talk nonsense.
Tang Xiluo was so angry that he took a dagger and cut off a piece of sugarcane.
You know what, this dagger is quite sharp and easy to use. Last time when she was stabbed in the temple, she never returned it after the bastard gave it to her.
The village chief and several villagers were so frightened that they dared not breathe and broke out in cold sweats.
This short sword has the mark of the royal family on it! So they are!!!
Zhan Jingchen turned around and glanced at the village chief and his men. They were so scared that their knees went weak and they wanted to kneel down instantly.
Lei San whispered, "We are merchants."
The village chief calmed himself down and resisted the urge to kneel down: "Don't worry, we don't know anything. We only know that a merchant passed by here."
Seeing them on the road, Zhan Jingchen withdrew his gaze.
Tang Xiluo, who didn't know his identity had been exposed, cut the sugarcane and handed it to Zhan Jingchen.
"Taste it."
