Traveling through ancient times, the spy princess had everything going smoothly

"Xiao He, you are right. We need to do a good job of disaster warning for such things in the future."

At this moment, there was a sound of horse hooves outside the door. It turned out that Pang Ziqian brought a group of people to Qinghe's house.

After Pang Ziqian dismounted, he walked forward with a few others, and everyone saluted King Chen and Qinghe.

"I, a commoner, would like to pay my respects to the prince and the princess."

Baili Ye said to everyone: "No need to be polite, please stand up!"

"Thank you, my lord and princess."

After everyone stood up, Pang Ziqian smiled and said to Qing He and Bai Li Ye:

"Prince Chen, Princess, Tailai County suffered a locust plague this time. Thanks to Shangao Village's timely warning and the good remedy for expelling the locusts, the locust crisis was successfully resolved this time. Thanks to you, I came here today to thank you. The heads of these towns must come here to thank you as well."

As they spoke, several village heads came forward, knelt down and kowtowed again, saying:

"I would like to thank you, my Lord and Princess, for your help. Otherwise, our crops would be gone and we would starve to death soon."

"Yes, the prince and princess are our saviors and our reborn parents."

"On behalf of the people of this town, I would like to thank the prince and princess for their kindness."

Qing He and Bai Li Ye quickly helped everyone up and said, "This is what we should do. Don't take it to heart. Everyone, please stand up quickly."

Then he helped everyone up one by one.

After everyone stood up, Pang Ziqian asked someone to bring the gifts they had brought.

Some were vegetables, fruits, chickens, ducks, geese and rabbits from farmers; some were precious medicinal herbs and silk. Qinghe guessed that they were gifts from the villagers in the town and the county government.

After Pang Ziqian had someone put the gift down, he continued:

“Thanks to you this time, otherwise our crops in Tailai County, especially the newly planted crops, would be ruined.

We give you these gifts on behalf of the people of the whole county, and we hope you can accept them.”

Qing He and Bai Li Ye quickly declined:

"Mr. Pang, you are too polite. We are just doing what we should do. We cannot accept these gifts."

Pang Ziqian insisted:

"Prince Chen, Princess, please don't refuse. These gifts are the people's heartfelt wishes. If you don't accept them, the people will be unhappy."

Seeing that they couldn't refuse, Qinghe and Baili Ye had no choice but to accept the gift.

Qinghe arranged for a few people to sit down and went to prepare tea for everyone.

Pang Ziqian then said to Qinghe:

"Princess, I admire your intelligence and wisdom. When I came here just now, I heard that you taught everyone how to cook locusts. I wonder if you can teach everyone how to cook locusts?"

In fact, Pang Ziqian wanted to ask if there were any leftover locusts that he wanted to eat.

Qing He listened to Pang Ziqian's words and said with a smile:

“Of course, in fact, the locust’s method is very simple.

First, wash the locusts, then blanch them in hot water to remove their internal organs and wings.

Then, you can cook it by frying, baking, stir-frying, etc.

Locusts have high nutritional value, are rich in protein and vitamins, and are a very good food.”

After hearing this, Pang Ziqian nodded repeatedly and said, "I see. There is no shortage of locusts in Tailai County now. I will ask my family to cook some for us later."

Qing He added: "Yes. However, although locusts are nutritious, you can't eat too much.

Because locusts may contain parasites and bacteria, if eaten improperly, they may cause physical discomfort. Therefore, before eating locusts, they must be thoroughly cleaned. "

Pang Ziqian said, "Okay, I'll remember this. When you go back and make locusts, please pay attention to this and make sure to clean them thoroughly."

Everyone said, "Yes, Your Excellency the County Magistrate."

At this time, Qinghe picked up the tea and said to everyone, "Everyone is thirsty after walking all the way. Please have some tea."

Everyone had never drunk tea before, so when they heard that tea was available, they thanked the customer and then began to taste the tea carefully.

Pang Ziqian took a sip of tea, which was refreshing and pure, and then said to Qinghe:

"Princess, this tea has a refreshing and cool aroma that is refreshing. It is different from the tea you gave me last time, and it is also a good tea.

May I ask if this tea was also made by the princess?"

Qing He smiled and said:

"Yes, the last time I gave you black tea. This time I made my own tea, called green tea. It can clear away heat and relieve summer heat. You can drink more."

After hearing Qinghe's words, several village heads picked up their teacups and savored the tea carefully.

They just frowned slightly, as if they were feeling the taste of the tea.

After a while, surprised smiles appeared on their faces and they nodded in praise.

One of the village heads said, "Princess, this green tea is so refreshing and delicious!"

Another village head also said:

Yes, the princess is really clever, not only did she come up with a good recipe to get rid of locusts, but she was also able to make such delicious green tea."

Qing He said modestly: "Thank you for the compliment, these are just some small skills."

Pang Ziqian also smiled and said, "Princess, do you still remember what you promised me? I am looking forward to cooperating with you."

Qinghe smiled and said:

"Of course I remember, isn't this asking you to cooperate?

These green teas were discovered when I went up the mountain before. They are naturally grown tea trees in Shangao Village. I picked some when I came back from Beijing a few days ago.

Now is a good time to pick tea leaves, and we can make green tea.

Magistrate Pang, this is a pattern of tea trees. It just so happens that the heads of several towns in our county are here. You can discuss with them and organize the villages to pick green tea. We will buy it when the time comes."

Pang Ziqian smiled and said, "Everyone, you heard that our princess is going to help you make money. Why don't you thank the princess quickly?"

Today, several village heads followed the county magistrate to Shangao Village and visited the factory built in the village.

Everyone in the village has a rosy complexion and is full of energy as they go to work or work in the fields. They are completely different from the skinny and pale-faced people in their own village. They truly envy the lives of the villagers in Shangao Village.

Unexpectedly, when the county magistrate was talking to the princess, he mentioned that he wanted to pick tea leaves, process the tea, and collect money from them.

After listening to the conversation between the two, several village heads knew that the princess and the county magistrate wanted to buy tea leaves from them. They knew that if they had something to sell, they could make money, and they suddenly became excited.

Several village chiefs knelt down and kowtowed, saying gratefully:

"I would like to thank the princess and the county magistrate for helping the villagers in our village make money. We will definitely pick the fruits carefully and seriously."

"I kneel down to thank the prince, princess, and county magistrate for their kindness. Life in our village is hard. If we can have another way to make money, it will save everyone's life!"

Baili Ye, Qing He and Pang Ziqian helped them up and said:

"You don't have to get so excited. We have all planted new crops this year. After the autumn harvest, the crops will be abundant. If you pick tea leaves now, your life will get better and better in the future."
