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

After Qinghe and Baili Ye left the palace, they went to the farm where new crops were being planted to see how the crops were growing.

The two of them were in the field, and looking from afar, they found that the entire rice field was slightly yellow, with heavy rice ears drooping, looking humble and lowered.

Qinghe and Bailiye walked forward and pulled a rice ear, and found that the rice grains were full and were about to mature.

"Aye, the rice is growing really well this year."

Zhang Zhuangtou, who was standing nearby, smiled with a look of joy at the prospect of a good harvest and said to the two of them:

“What the princess said is that this year’s harvest is much better than last year’s. I think it’s all because of the princess’ wisdom.

If the princess hadn't told us that raising fish in rice fields can make rice grow better, we wouldn't have known this. When the rice was harvested, the yield was still the same as before. This is all thanks to the princess!"

Qinghe smiled and said, "I just happened to know that. Do you want to harvest more rice, Mr. Zhuang?" Qinghe looked at Mr. Zhang and asked.

Zhang Zhuangtou smiled brightly after hearing this. He looked at Qinghe eagerly and said, "Princess, I have been tending crops all my life, and I have always dreamed of harvesting more crops."

Qing He smiled and said, "Zhang Zhuangtou, how long will it take for the rice to be harvested?"

Zhang Zhuangtou looked at the rice in the paddy field and said, "Your Majesty, Princess, the rice in the field will soon turn completely yellow. In three to five days, the rice can be harvested."

Qinghe nodded and said:

"You are right, Zhang Zhuangtou. Let's start releasing water today and take out all the fish raised in the fields. When the rice is ripe, the fields will be dry."

After that, he asked Zhang Zhuangtou: "How many days will it take to harvest the rice this year?"

Zhang Zhuangtou was confused and counted the days and said:

"It will take about ten days to harvest the rice. Why are you asking this, Princess?"

Qinghe smiled and said:

"Zhang Zhuangtou, we have oxen and plows in our farm now. Can we dig out the rice stubble and clean up the fields in five days?"

Zhang Zhuangtou thought of the benefits of the plow and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, Princess. With the plow and harrow, the rice fields on our farm can be tidied up very quickly. It will take only five days to clean and level the rice fields."

Baili Ye asked Qing He from the side: "Xiao He, are you going to plant a second crop of rice?"

Qinghe smiled and said:

"Yes, now that we have harvested the rice, we can plant another season. Although the yield may not be as high as the current yield in the field, it will not be much less, and if we plant, we will harvest more."

Zhang Zhuangtou's eyes lit up when he heard this and asked, "Princess, are you saying that we can still harvest rice if we plant another crop? A crop of rice takes three or four months to grow before it can be harvested. Is it too late now?"

"Don't worry, head of the village. I have already grown the seeds. Once the rice here is harvested, we can transplant the seedlings. The harvest time in three or four months is just when the weather turns cold." Qinghe explained.

Zhang Zhuangtou was incredulous and asked in shock, "Really, Princess?"

Qinghe nodded and said affirmatively:

"Really? For the sake of this year's second crop of rice, I'd like to trouble you to inform everyone to release water from the rice fields to catch fish today, harvest the rice in the fields as soon as possible, and then clean up the fields so that they can be used again."

Zhang Zhuangtou smiled from ear to ear and nodded repeatedly, saying:

"Hey, hey, hey, I'll make arrangements right away. Once the fish are caught in the field, I'll deliver them to the palace."

Qing He stopped him and said:

"I'm really craving for fish, so just catch the fish and give us a bucket.

Everyone in the village has worked hard for half a year, and you can divide the remaining food among everyone, or just eat fish together to have some fun."

"How can this be possible? We are used to rough eating. How can we eat such precious fish?"

Zhang Zhuangtou wanted to refuse, but Baili Ye said to him, "Just listen to the princess."

"Yes, little one, let's do it right now."

After saying this, Zhang Zhuangtou turned around and left, feeling mixed emotions on the way out.

The prince is not a master who treats his servants harshly, but the princess is more caring and concerned about everyone, which makes people feel warm inside.

The two strolled around the manor and found that there was a large garden in the manor.

There are many kinds of flowers in the garden, including clusters of roses, which are very colorful, with red, pink, white and other colors, exuding charming fragrance;

There are also peonies, with large, gorgeous flowers, graceful and elegant;

Lilies are pure white with a delicate fragrance;

Tulips, with beautiful flower shapes and rich and varied colors, such as red, yellow, and purple;

Roses bloom every month in a variety of beautiful colors and shapes;

Carnations are warm and elegant, suitable for expressing love and blessings;

Daisy, small and cute, fresh and refined;

Various precious orchids are blooming in the garden. Phalaenopsis, shaped like a flying butterfly, has a graceful posture; violets, mysterious and romantic;

There were even osmanthus flowers in the garden. Qinghe felt that she had made a good deal on this trip to the manor, and was thinking about what products to make with these flowers.

"Aye, I have a use for all these flowers. Can you arrange for someone to pick all these flowers? I'll leave them a recipe to clean the flowers. I'll need them in the future?"

Baili Ye said lovingly: "Okay, write down the solution first, and I'll call someone over in a while."

Qinghe quickly wrote down the method and gave it to Baili Ye. After the two of them arranged the flowers, they continued to stroll around the farm.

Outside the village is a hill, and many fruit trees can be seen from afar.

When I got closer, I saw that the fruit trees were hung with all kinds of fruits, like a colorful painting.

On the pear trees, the bright yellow pears look like small gourds, with their round bellies sticking out, hanging crowdedly on the branches.

They shine charmingly under the sunlight, as if showing off their fullness and sweetness to people.

The branches of the apple tree are slightly bent by the red apples. The apples are like cute little lanterns, bright red and exuding an enticing fruity aroma, making people want to take a bite.

On the branches of the peach tree, pink peaches are crowded together. Some playfully hide behind the leaves, with only half of their faces showing, while others openly show off their round bodies, furry and very cute.

The hawthorn tree is full of red fruits. From a distance, it looks like a string of red agate, sparkling with alluring light in the sun.

Looking at these fruits that were about to ripen, Qinghe shamelessly thought of the canned food that was common in modern times. The saliva that inexplicably secreted from her mouth told Qinghe that it was time for her to make arrangements so that the people of Dasheng could eat delicious canned food in winter.

When Qinghe and Baili Ye returned to the farm after a stroll, Zhang the village head came over with two people carrying fish.

"Your Highness, Princess, look at how beautiful the fish in the rice fields are! They are fat and strong, even fatter than those in the river."

Qinghe and Baili Ye went forward to take a look, haha, it was really just one word - fat.
