Female-to-male: I live on farming

Cui Yuanyuan had a good rest all night. Lu Youqing specifically told others not to disturb her, and she slept until noon before waking up.

She had been traveling and sleeping on the road for more than a month and was exhausted. She finally had a good sleep after arriving at the West Sea.

I opened the door and faced the dazzling sunshine, then stretched my muscles and bones. However, the fatigue from the long journey could not be relieved in just one night. It would probably take several days to fully recover.

"Is the girl awake?" a voice came from the side.

Cui Yuanyuan turned around and saw that it was Li Nanqiao who had accompanied Lu Youqing to Jinzhou to take the college entrance examination.

"Yes, I slept very comfortably!" Cui Yuanyuan said with a smile.

"Miss Cui, you must have been exhausted from the long journey. Our wife said that if you need anything, please just let us know." Li Nanqiao nodded with a smile.

"Well, thank you. I wonder if there is any food left. I'm hungry." Cui Yuanyuan asked.

"Yes, wait a moment, girl. I'll bring it over right away." She deliberately left some food in the kitchen for the smell.

"Okay, thank you for your help. By the way, is Sister Lu in the government office?"

Li Nanqiao nodded and said, "Well, the government office has a lawsuit to deal with today. The master asked you to have a good rest today. She will talk to you in detail when she comes back in the evening."

"it is good."

Although today's lawsuit was not a difficult case to handle, it was very tedious. When Lu Youqing returned, it was already getting dark.

"You should know that Xihai County is the fiefdom of the eldest princess." Lu Youqing sat on a mahogany chair with a serious and earnest expression.

The study door was tightly closed when they were talking, and it was obvious that they didn't want outsiders to know what they were talking about.

Cui Yuanyuan sat opposite her, with her back straight, her hands on her knees, sitting very straight.

Hearing Lu Youqing's words, she nodded and said, "I know, and I know that the eldest princess is now in the fiefdom."

"Then you should know what this means?"

"This means that I will join the Princess's camp from now on. Sister Lu, I have already thought about all this before coming here."

For Cui Yuanyuan, who was still young, it didn't matter who she belonged to, as long as she was given a chance. Moreover, she had heard of the majesty and virtue of the eldest princess.

Lu Youqing's eyes flashed, and she just said "hmm" softly.

Cui Yuanyuan only knew that Xihai belonged to the eldest princess' fiefdom, and that coming to Lu Youqing meant becoming the eldest princess's person from now on. However, she did not know that the eldest princess now had the intention to seize the throne and was secretly accumulating power and capital.

Although she and Cui Yuanyuan are classmates, she still has to be on guard against others. Now is not the time to let her know about this. After all, the eldest princess is in a difficult situation now, and every step is frightening. She has to be cautious in everything she does.

"The former county lieutenant has committed numerous crimes of corruption and dereliction of duty, and is now imprisoned awaiting execution. It is just right for you to take over his position now and work with me to sort out the affairs of the West Sea." Lu Youqing said lightly.

"Does Her Royal Highness the Princess agree?"

Lu Youqing chuckled and said, "Your Highness said before that I will be the sole agent for the affairs of the West Sea. I will also report this to Your Highness. You don't need to worry."

"Then Yuanyuan will follow your orders in everything." Upon hearing this, Cui Yuanyuan stood up solemnly and bowed to Lu Youqing.

"Okay, we're not outside here, there's no need to be so polite." Lu Youqing hurriedly helped her up.

……

On the other hand, Qin Ke hadn't been to the Princess's Mansion for many days since he bumped into the kiss mark on Gu Lanxi's neck.

Firstly, Gu Lanxi herself probably needs some time to get over the embarrassment; secondly, Qin Ke herself also needs some time, after all, this kind of thing is really embarrassing.

He had received a letter from his wife and knew that Cui Yuanyuan had arrived in Xihai. With her help, Lu Youqing's workload was greatly reduced.

He has been busy with the autumn harvest recently, mainly the new varieties of rice planted on his farm. The locals have already known them, so Qin Ke doesn't need to worry about them.

His main attention is on the cotton and sweet potatoes he planted this year. The harvesting process of sweet potatoes is basically the same as that of potatoes, except that the tubers of sweet potatoes are much larger than those of potatoes, and the sweet potato vines are also a good feed that can be used to feed pigs.

The main raw material for making soap is lard. He suggested to Pei Xiu at that time that they could build a pig farm, or encourage nearby villages to build pig farms. Nowadays, butchers in the village all raise livestock on a small scale.

He had mentioned this matter to Pei Xiu before, and she was the one who decided what to do.

Later, I heard that Pei Xiu found a suitable village near Cangwu City and funded them to build a breeding farm, and all the pig fat was provided to the soap factory.

So Qin Ke ordered people to load all the sweet potato vines onto a donkey cart and transport them to the pig farm.

"Crush the dried sweet potato vines, then steam them for about half an hour to increase digestibility. Finally, dry the steamed sweet potato vines until they are properly dry." Qin Ke stood at the door holding an umbrella, watching people pull the vines in.

To this day, Pei Xiu still can't understand Qin Ke's habit of holding an umbrella on sunny days.

After the weather started to get hot, Qin Ke always carried an umbrella with her whenever she went out. She still remembered that when she saw it for the first time, she looked up at the sky in surprise and asked, "It's a sunny day today, why is Qin Sinong carrying an umbrella?"

"It's for sun protection, to block the sun."

"Sunscreen?" Pei Xiu was puzzled.

At that time, Qin Ke just touched her clean and delicate skin, and said as a matter of course: "It's to prevent myself from getting darker, otherwise what if I get ugly from the sun?"

Pei Xiu was speechless.

She had never seen a man who took better care of himself than Qin Ke, except when he first came, when he was only concerned about food and clothing. Later, when he had no worries about money, he began to pay attention to his skin, and his face was whiter than Xiao Anyi who went to the military camp every day.

If Pei Xiu had not seen Qin Ke's abilities, seeing his behavior, he would probably have thought that he was a pretty boy kept at home, who only used his sex appeal to show off.

Although she doesn't understand it, at least she is used to it now.

After hearing what Qin Ke said, he nodded and said, "I will tell them, so that we can save some money. When the village grows sweet potatoes on its own next year, the vines produced in the village can basically be self-sufficient to supply the farm."

"Yes, and the pig manure can also be used to fertilize the land. However, we still need to pay attention to hygiene and make sure the pigs don't get sick, otherwise there will be a big loss."

"I have already informed them, and they also know the seriousness of the problem." Moreover, the person in charge of the farm is a very experienced breeder in their village.

However, Pei Xiu turned her head and glanced at the neatly dressed Qin Ke, narrowed her eyes, and asked, "You don't want to take care of this mess, do you dislike the smell and filth of raising pigs?"

"Ahem," Qin Ke turned his head and coughed lightly, as if something had been pointed out, and said awkwardly, "Those who are capable should do more work."
