Transmigrated into a female county magistrate during a famine, leading her country to prosperity

It's the middle of the night and the moon is high in the sky.

"Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle, gurgle..." Fang Ziyan lay on the bed holding his stomach. At this moment, he regretted why he ran out at that time.

He had lived a life of luxury since childhood, with the servants coaxing him to eat his meals every day, so he had never been hungry.

Only then did he realize that skipping a meal could make him feel so hungry. His stomach was empty and his mouth began to feel sour.

He tossed and turned in his bed, wondering if he would starve to death tonight.

Pei Zhaoqi, who was lying in the next bed, couldn't sleep because of the noise he made. He sat up and looked at him without saying a word.

Fang Ziyan turned over and saw Pei Zhaoqi sitting up. He was so scared that he screamed, "What are you doing!"

Pei Zhaoqi looked at him and said in a low voice: "You are too noisy."

Fang Ziyan's face turned red. He couldn't do anything about his stomach crying.

He had no choice but to turn around and said in a low voice with his back to Pei Zhaoqi: "I'm hungry. It turns out that being hungry is so uncomfortable."

Pei Zhaoqi didn't quite understand him. In order to save money for his tuition, he often had two meals a day, or even one meal a day. He thought it was okay to skip one or two meals a day.

But when he looked at Fang Ziyan's round figure in the darkness, he understood a little bit.

He is a little fat, so he would feel more uncomfortable if he was hungry.

Pei Zhaoqi sighed. If Fang Ziyan's stomach kept growling tonight, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep. He was thinking of going home tomorrow to get some things to become his disciple. If he didn't sleep well tonight, he was afraid that something would go wrong tomorrow.

He had no choice but to resign himself to his fate, throw off the quilt, get out of bed and put on his shoes, and said to Fang Ziyan: "Follow me, I will make you some pig food."

At this moment, Fang Ziyan no longer had the arrogance he had during the day, and he did not refute when he heard the word "pig food". If it was the same meal as tonight, he should be able to eat two bowls now!

Under the moonlight, the doors of the two boys' rooms opened quietly.

"Click, click." The sound of Fang Ziyan's footsteps was very loud in the quiet night.

Pei Zhaoqi, who was walking in front, frowned, turned around and whispered, "Walk more quietly."

Fang Ziyan nodded obediently. He just wanted to eat quickly and followed Pei Zhaoqi's words.

After the two arrived at the public kitchen, Pei Zhaoqi opened the door wide, and the moonlight poured in, allowing them to see more clearly.

Fang Ziyan followed behind him and urged him: "Hurry up and turn on the light, it's so dark!"

Pei Zhaoqi sighed in his heart and explained: "Oil lamps are expensive. We are staying in the county government office anyway, so we should save as much as possible."

Fang Ziyan touched the two silver ingots in his arms and thought that they should be enough to buy an oil lamp. Seeing how stingy Pei Zhaoqi was, he would go buy one tomorrow!

Pei Zhaoqi added a spoonful of water to the pot, then found flour from the cupboard, skillfully added water and rolled out the dough. In a short while, he had pulled out long thin noodles.

He picked up the fire tongs and stoked the fire, then added some firewood. The fire suddenly became brighter, and Fang Ziyan exclaimed in surprise.

A quarter of an hour later, a bowl of fragrant noodles appeared in Pei Zhaoqi's hands. Fang Ziyan couldn't control his saliva when he smelled the fragrance of the noodles.

Pei Zhaoqi put the bowl in his hand on the table and handed him a pair of chopsticks: "Eat quickly."

Fang Ziyan took the chopsticks and started eating without raising his head. Even though the noodles in his mouth burned him, he was reluctant to spit them out.

He held the bowl and gobbled it up: "Delicious, delicious, you are quite amazing, it tastes so good even without meat."

Pei Zhaoqi ignored him, thinking that you are just too hungry.

A quarter of an hour later, Fang Ziyan even drank up the noodle soup. He put down the bowl in his hand and said, "I'm done."

Pei Zhaoqi nodded: "Wash the dishes and go back to sleep."

Fang Ziyan looked up at him in disbelief. What kind of bowl did he, the young master of the Fang family, need to wash himself?

After the two looked at each other for a moment, he gave up. He thought that Pei Zhaoqi must be laughing at him in his heart for not being able to wash dishes, so today he would wash them for him to see!

Fang Ziyan took the bowl and went to the well at the door of the public kitchen.

Pei Zhaoqi stayed in the public kitchen to clean up the mess when he suddenly heard the crisp sound of a bowl breaking outside.

He shouldn't have asked him to wash the dishes! Pei Zhaoqi hurried out and saw Fang Ziyan standing there at a loss.

Fang Ziyan looked at the broken bowl on the ground, feeling annoyed. As he was rubbing it, his hands slipped and he failed to catch it when he wanted to.

"This is the second bowl you've broken today." Pei Zhaoqi criticized him unhappily, asking how could there be such a stupid person.

Fang Ziyan thought in his heart that he had done it on purpose during the day, but this time his hand really slipped, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.

Pei Zhaoqi sighed resignedly and told him to go back to his room first, but Fang Ziyan refused: "I am not the kind of person who runs away after doing something wrong. Let's take this. Tomorrow you will accompany me to buy oil lamps and bowls."

After saying that, he squatted down and picked up the broken pieces, not caring whether Pei Zhaoqi agreed to accompany him shopping tomorrow.

The two of them worked for a while, cleaned up the public kitchen, and then returned to the room in the dark.

Pei Zhaoqi fell asleep as soon as he lay down, but Fang Ziyan couldn't sleep. He secretly looked at Pei Zhaoqi in the cover of night.

He had humiliated Pei Zhaoqi so much during the day, but Pei Zhaoqi had just cooked noodles for him. At this moment, he felt that he was extremely bad.

He suddenly began to wonder why he came to bully Pei Zhaoqi today. Pei Zhaoqi had never provoked him directly in the academy.

After thinking about it, he forgot when he started to dislike Pei Zhaoqi. It seemed that it was because of He Liangping?

He Liangping always told him that Pei Zhaoqi secretly looked down on him behind his back, and he also said that Pei Zhaoqi scolded him for being good for nothing except having some money at home.

But did Pei Zhaoqi really look down on him and really scold him? Fang Ziyan was a little uncertain at this moment.

Today too, He Liangping said he knew where Pei Zhaoqi's stall was and insisted on bringing him over. Along the way he kept telling him how Pei Zhaoqi always looked down on him.

Although Fang Ziyan had some guesses in his mind at this time, he was still unwilling to believe it.

After all, He Liangping is his only friend.

I will definitely ask him when he returns to Quanyang County, Fang Ziyan thought.

......

The next morning, the morning light was dim.

When Fang Ziyan woke up, he found that there was no one in the bed next to him. He quickly got up and went out to look for Pei Zhaoqi.

They agreed to buy bowls and oil lamps today.

But he looked around in the backyard of the county government office and couldn't see Pei Zhaoqi, so he had to run to the front yard of the county government office to look for him.

Shen Zheng and Xu Zhubu were sitting at the registration table distributing food coupons to everyone. The people who came to collect the food coupons today were from Nanba Village.

Zhou, the head of Nanba Village, was consciously maintaining order on the side. His wife said that as the head of the village, he had to help the county magistrate solve his problems, and it would not be a big deal for him, as he was the last one in the Zhou family to receive the grain.

Fang Ziyan didn't see Pei Zhaoqi in the front yard, so he had to slowly walk to stand beside Shen Zheng, but he was too embarrassed to take the initiative to speak.

The villagers who came to collect food coupons began to look at this strange little fat man. He couldn't stand the stares of everyone, so he had to step forward and poke Shen Zheng with a finger.
