Traveling through ancient times, the spy princess had everything going smoothly
Chapter 349: Beijing News
Qing He also took a bite and nodded, "Well, not bad. Are there any other problems?"
The butler frowned slightly, thought for a moment and replied:
"Princess, I heard that there was a shortage of manpower, so a few skilled assistants were added, and the amount of fertilizer shipped from the breeding farm also increased a lot." The butler replied seriously.
"It's okay, just let them make the decision on their own."
The butler immediately relaxed his brows, put on a relaxed expression, and quickly responded:
"Yes, Princess. You and the prince can try these dishes again.
This winter melon meatball soup is made with meatballs that are repeatedly pounded by the chefs, making them firm and chewy. Paired with carefully brewed broth, the soup is fresh and delicious, and is extremely nutritious.
There is also the Kung Pao Chicken, the chicken is tender and smooth, and it is made from top-quality free-range chicken, served with crispy peanuts and spicy seasoning, making it spicy and flavorful.
The remaining vegetables are grown in our greenhouse, you can try them all.”
As he spoke, an expectant smile lit up his face.
Baili Ye picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and put it in his mouth. After chewing it carefully, he said:
"This rib tastes great, with just the right amount of sweet and sour, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside."
Qing He tasted his favorite Kung Pao Chicken and nodded in praise:
"It's really good. The chicken is fresh and tender, and the seasoning is just right."
The butler pointed to the Longjing shrimp and said:
"This Longjing Shrimp is crystal clear. It is made from freshly peeled river shrimps and paired with premium Longjing tea, which has a strong tea aroma."
Baili Ye said: "This dish has a refreshing aroma, and the shrimps are chewy, it's delicious."
The butler continued:
“This dish of pork belly with preserved vegetables is made with carefully selected pork belly, which is first fried and then boiled, and then steamed with preserved vegetables that have been pickled for a long time. The meat is fatty but not greasy, and the preserved vegetables have absorbed the meat juice, making it very delicious with rice.
This chestnut roast chicken has soft, sweet chestnuts freshly picked from the mountains, and tender and delicious chicken, which is raised by farmers. The combination of the two is a perfect match.”
Qing He said, "How about we try it?"
The housekeeper smiled and said, "Princess, please try it quickly. There is also this pickled cabbage, which is sour and crispy, the tomato and egg are bright in color and rich in nutrition, the stir-fried beans are dry and fragrant, the braised eggplant is soft, glutinous and salty, and this egg drop corn soup is sweet and smooth."
Qinghe and Baili Ye ate while listening to the butler's introduction, praising every dish and having a warm and satisfying meal.
After dinner, Baili Ye and Qinghe sat in the living room, sipping fragrant tea.
Baili Ye was the first to ask:
"Butler, is there anything new or important happening in the capital recently?"
The butler bowed slightly and said respectfully:
"My Lord, Princess, everything is normal in the capital these days.
But if I have to talk about the latest news, it’s that people in Beijing can now eat fresh vegetables. Our vegetables have boosted the hot pot restaurant business, which is booming.
The remaining vegetables, in addition to being supplied to the palace, Qin Mansion and the Weiwu General's Mansion, are delivered to customers' doorsteps every day according to their orders.
The dignitaries in the capital are now lining up to buy our vegetables.
Now, due to the success of our palace's greenhouse, there are more fresh vegetables available on the market, and the people can also eat some fresh vegetables in this cold winter.
Although the quantity is not large and the price is a bit high, it still adds a bit of freshness to this winter."
"That's great. Everyone needs vegetables now. We will expand our greenhouse next year so that more ordinary people can afford fresh vegetables in winter." Qinghe said happily.
Baili Ye nodded and said, "Indeed, if we can promote this greenhouse planting method, it will be a good thing that benefits the people."
The housekeeper responded, "Your Majesty and Princess care about the people, which is a blessing for the people."
Qing He asked again: "Are there any other changes?"
The butler thought for a moment and replied:
“My princess, everything else is pretty much the same as usual, except that the Chinese New Year is approaching and every household is preparing for the New Year.
Therefore, the business of shops in Beijing has been stable recently, and the streets are also very lively. "
Baili Ye said: "That's great. You need to continue to pay attention to the dynamics in the city and report any problems in time."
The butler quickly responded, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will always keep an eye on it."
"Okay, go down and ask the managers of the properties and shops under the palace to take stock of this year's accounts and report back at the end of the year."
"Yes, I will give the order right away."
The butler left immediately.
Baili Ye and Qinghe stood up and went back to their room hand in hand.
"Let's go into the space!" Baili Ye suggested.
Qing He responded, and the two of them entered the space together.
"Let's go check on the crops first!"
"it is good."
In this space, crops are growing well.
The golden wheat waves rolled in the wind, and the heavy wheat ears had full grains, each one was round and full, sparkling with charming luster under the sunlight.
In the rice fields, the rice has already headed for ear, with the slender ears hanging low. Each plant is tall and strong, as if showing them the hope of a good harvest.
The corn stalks stand tall, and the emerald green leaves wrap the strong and thick corn cobs. Peeling off the husks, the golden corn kernels are revealed, neatly arranged like dazzling gems, exuding a faint fragrance.
On the ridges of the fields not far away, peanuts were growing particularly lushly.
Green peanut vines cover the ground, crowded together and full of vitality.
Gently pull up a plant, and you will see that the roots are covered with plump white peanuts, each one full, with a little soil on the shell, exuding a fresh scent.
The sweet potato vines covered the ground, crisscrossing each other. When dug up, we found that each sweet potato was huge in size, with smooth skin and the fragrance of soil.
Soybeans, black rice and sesame are also growing vigorously.
Looking at these crops, Qing He said with emotion:
"After harvesting these, we will have more food. We need everyone to reclaim the wasteland in the spring of next year."
"Last time, after the emperor issued the decree to exempt wasteland from tax, all parts of Dasheng have been reclaiming wasteland. I believe that there should be some results now.
When we go to the palace tomorrow, we will talk to our father about planting new crops."
"it is good."
After Qinghe finished his response, he changed his mind and sorted all the ripe crops in the fields and harvested them into the warehouse.
The crops in this space take half a month to one month to mature. Qinghe has been harvesting crops non-stop since he started planting them in the space.
Except for the grain in the grain store’s warehouse, everything else is placed in the space.
Now I am definitely the number one granary in Dasheng, and these grains can play a very important role.
The two went to the vegetable garden again, where there were a wide variety of vegetables.
The green vegetables are lush and green, with juicy leaves. Crystal dewdrops hang on the leaves, shining like pearls under the refraction of sunlight.
The radish has half poked out of the soil, it is white and plump, very cute, and the radish leaves are emerald green and full of vitality.
The tender green leeks are arranged neatly in rows, with slender and upright leaves.
The juicy celery has thick stems and its green leaves exude a unique aroma.
Red peppers hang on the branches, some are curved like sheep horns, and some are straight like fingers.
The tomatoes are round and plump. Some are ripe and show an attractive red color, while others are still green and are trying hard to grow.
Cucumber vines climb along the racks. Each cucumber has a small yellow flower on top and is covered with small thorns. It looks crisp and lovely.
Qinghe picked two cucumbers and handed one to Baili Ye.
"Aye, how does this cucumber taste?"
After saying that, Qinghe rubbed a cucumber with thorns on it on his clothes and started eating it.
Baili Ye took the cucumber and rubbed it on his clothes like Qinghe did. He took a bite and found it crisp and refreshing with plenty of juice.
"It's crisp, fresh, juicy, and lightly sweet and fragrant. It makes you feel refreshed and all your fatigue is gone. It's much better than the one you bought in the supermarket before."
Qing He smiled and said, "That's right, the products of this space must be top quality."
As they ate and walked, they saw that next to the cucumbers were fruitful beans, hanging in rows and bunches on the vines, looking very vibrant.
There is also the green spinach, with thick, tender and juicy leaves.
The purple eggplant looks particularly eye-catching against the green leaves.
"I plan to take all these vegetables out of the space before the New Year. I will first send some to the military camps at the border to improve the life in the camps and the physical condition of the soldiers. The rest will be sold in the capital."
Baili Ye didn't expect that the little girl was thinking about the soldiers on the border. A warm feeling surged in his heart and he was moved.
He pulled the little girl into his arms and hugged her tightly. "Xiao He, I want to thank you on behalf of the soldiers in the barracks. Thank you for thinking about them and caring about their lives and health."
Qing He hugged the man's waist and said to him, "I was also a soldier, I know the hardships of the soldiers at the border, and I can empathize with them. After we are done with our work in the next few days, we will go and deliver supplies to them so that they can have a good New Year."
"Okay, I'll listen to you. I think the soldiers at the border should have received the cotton-padded clothes and shoes you collected.
This year, the soldiers at the border should have a more comfortable life than before. I also thank you, my princess, on behalf of the soldiers at the border."
"Then how do you thank me?"
Baili Ye leaned over and kissed the little girl deeply until Qinghe's cheeks turned red and she glared at him coquettishly.
"How about doing it in the evening?"
"You wish, it won't work."
"Objection is invalid. Let's go back to the room!"
Thinking of someone's unrestrained and crazy behavior every time, Qinghe quickly changed the subject, wondering if all men were so powerful that even her good physique couldn't handle it.
"I'll collect these first, and then we'll go see how the fruit in the orchard is growing."
"it is good."
So Qinghe harvested all the vegetables in the vegetable field and planted a new crop of vegetables.
The two went to the orchard next to them.
The orchard is full of vitality.
Red apples hang on the branches, emitting an enticing sweet fragrance, and the skin is covered with a light fruit frost, making it even more tempting.
The purple grapes are closely connected in clusters, as crystal clear as agate. Each grape is round and full, reflecting charming light under the sunlight.
The yellow pears were large and thin-skinned, bending the branches. When the breeze blew, the pears swayed gently, as if playing with the breeze.
And the pink peaches are furry, just like the shy face of a girl, making people want to take a bite and taste the sweet juice.
The sight of the watermelons, melons and strawberries all over the ground makes people salivate.
"Aye, let's have someone send some vegetables and fruits to grandma's and great-grandmother's homes tomorrow. We'll also bring some with us when we enter the palace."
"Well, the harvest in the space is really good. This is all the result of your hard work."
Baili Ye's face was filled with joy, his eyes were gleaming with excitement, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.
After the harvest was completed, the two went to see the livestock growing in the space.
The horses brought back from the Turks last time have grown tall and strong in the space. They are running contentedly or drinking water by the river. Their shiny hair shows that they are the livestock living leisurely and contented in the pen.
The original several thousand horses have now grown to over ten thousand after breeding. The ponies are wandering around in the space and chasing each other, looking extremely comfortable.
The cows raised by Qinghe in the space have grown from cubs to adults, and many of them have reproduced.
In the distance, flocks of sheep were also foraging in groups, eating grass meekly.
Qinghe and Baili Ye were happy to see that the livestock were growing so well.
"Next spring, we can start decentralized breeding in various places and expand the scale of breeding farms."
Qinghe excitedly planned the future development, his eyes full of longing.
As they were talking, several huge creatures ran over. Qinghe and Baili Ye took a closer look and confirmed that what they saw were pigs.
The last time I saw pigs, they weighed about 600 to 800 or 900. Now these few are like giant balls, their round bodies almost occupying a large area of the open space.
Qinghe was frightened by the pigs. Her mouth opened wide and couldn't close for a long time.
I never expected that the pigs produced in the space would grow into this shape. It's beyond imagination.
"Aye, it seems we have to go to the border early to deliver supplies." Qinghe's expression became serious, with determination in his eyes.
Baili Ye nodded silently, indicating his agreement. "Let's make arrangements as soon as possible and go to the border."
After a busy period, the two finally completed the inventory of crops, fruits and livestock.
"Finally the inventory is done. I'm going to take a shower first. You can take a shower later, and then we'll go out."
Qinghe let out a long sigh, eager to wash away all his fatigue.
Baili Ye held her back and said, "Xiao He, I want to go with you."
"No, I want to wash myself." Qinghe's face turned red instantly and she tried to break free from Baili Ye's hand.
"No, you need a back scrubber."
After saying this, Baili Ye did not allow Qinghe to refuse. He suddenly pulled him into his arms, gazed at him lovingly, and then leaned over and kissed him deeply.
Qinghe stretched out her hands to Baili Ye's chest, exploring the feel of his eight-pack abdominal muscles.
Baili Ye's heart was shocked, and he kissed her more eagerly, and he held the little girl with greater strength.
"Xiao He, you are lighting a fire, do you know that?"
Gradually, Qinghe's struggle became powerless. In this domineering and passionate kiss, her body gradually softened, and her hands unconsciously wrapped around Baili Ye's neck.
After a long time, Baili Ye let go of Qinghe, and both of them were panting.
Qing He's face flushed red, and she glared at Bai Li Ye angrily:
"You bad guy!" Baili Ye said with a wicked smile: "Now, let's wash together."
After saying that, Baili Ye pulled Qinghe into the bathroom.
