I traveled through the Cretaceous period and farmed with the ever-changing dog egg.

Although they live in different worlds, with different identities and names, they share the same emotional bond—longing for their loved ones and attachment to their hometown. They gather together to admire the same bright moon, expressing their yearning and conveying hope and courage for the future.

In 236 BC, Qin Shi Huang, having previously weakened the power of Lao Ai and Lü Buwei through their feud, and with the mother and son now at odds, is perfectly following historical events. Now, Zhao Ji has been sent back to her fiefdom to live out her days.

Yongcheng Palace

"Zheng'er?..."

Zhao Ji looked at the letter in her hand, read it, and then burned some of it. Why is she still so persistent even without her memories?

Ah Yan, you've actually been by my side the whole time? Why didn't you come to see me?

"Your Majesty, Prince Fusu's birth mother has passed away, so he can be raised by Miss Lin..."

…That's wishful thinking. Hopefully, someone will talk to her! I bet if they find her today, she'll run away that very night.

"That child doesn't have that blessing. With Ayan's personality, she would never enter Xianyang Palace. We can only hope that after finding her, we can have a good talk with Zheng'er." I'm old now, but she's probably still young and beautiful! At this moment, Zhao Ji was a little afraid to see Lin Chaoyan, as she could amplify her fear of death.

"Take some men and search for her in the mountains near Yongcheng! And remember, once you find her, do not disturb or neglect her."

"promise"

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the autumn harvest officially begins. Under the scorching sun, several men are cutting rice in the fields, taking turns operating the threshing machine to thresh the rice. The sound of the threshing machine echoes throughout the land.

Lin Chaoyan plans to harvest the vegetables after the first frost, and then make some dried plum vegetables and pickled vegetables.

She peeled the husks off the corn, braided it, and hung it all outside to dry, like firecrackers.

"What did you write in your letter, girl?" Qiu Shenji squatted down in front of Lin Chaoyan like a curious child and joined in the braiding game.

"What did you figure out?" This is so secretive, does it mean my future is going to be terrible? Lin Chaoyan's hands paused slightly.

Hmm? Who said she was stupid? She's incredibly smart! "Fate is unchangeable, I've calculated your marriage prospects..."

"Girl, your love life is strange, full of contradictions. Your romantic relationships are very complicated, but they all eventually converge in one place, which means you will eventually find your happy ending. At the same time, you are too proud, arrogant, and narcissistic, and you will end up alone..." This is difficult! This Qiu is completely unlike any other person. The fortune teller felt that he was predicting two completely different people.

Lin Chaoyan threw the corn on the ground, rolled up her sleeves, and prepared to have a serious argument with him. "...Arrogant, conceited, narcissistic? Don't slander me! I may be a little sentimental when it comes to relationships, but it doesn't have to be like this..."

Qiu Shenji immediately stood up, his whole body trembling with fear that Lin Chaoyan would become enraged and beat him.

"Calm down, calm down, impulsiveness is the devil. I'm too old to take a beating from you, that's why I said it's very strange, it's contradictory..." He was really afraid that his head would be smashed open by a punch.

…Yes, I'm getting old, thirty-two! “Forget it! My situation makes marriage difficult for others and for myself. Old Qiu! You need to find a wife quickly! Thirty-two is no longer a young age…”

After saying that, she went to help dry the grain. Since the drying yard in the space couldn't be used, Lin Chaoyan wove many large mats and spread them out on it to dry.

"...How did you even learn to arrange marriages? How are you going to find someone? What if you blindly choose a troublemaker? You'll be at risk of being exposed." Chengjia Qiu Shenji hadn't considered this. He planned to take on a few disciples and start a sect to pass down through generations. He only informed each successive sect leader about Lin Chaoyan's matter.

The rice was spread out on bamboo mats to dry in the sun, and turned over every 15 minutes or so. There were many straw fragments in the freshly harvested rice, so they were winnowed when there was a breeze, and the smaller ones were sifted out with a sieve.

This year, the rice in Youfei is growing very well, making it a bumper harvest year. Every grain is plump and full. It took three or four days to dry all the rice and put it into the warehouse.

Du Ming looked at the overflowing granary and was overjoyed. "This year is a bumper harvest! Five shi per mu, a total of fifteen shi. That's more than a whole mu more than last year..." This yield was thanks to the hybrid rice Lin Chaoyan provided, along with the fertilizer and artificial pollination...

In ancient times, sixteen liang (两) equaled one jin (斤), and one shi (石) equaled one hundred and sixty jin, totaling two thousand four hundred jin. Lin Chaoyan wanted to express her gratitude to Grandpa Yuan Nongping!

She looked at the bright red, appealing little chili peppers in the field and wanted to make some chopped chili peppers.

"Make several jars of chili sauce, chopped chili peppers, cucumber peel, dried eggplant, and pickled vegetables..."

Rows of lush green chili pepper bushes, each one laden with red peppers. Lin Chaoyan quickly picked them with a basket in hand; there were still many small green peppers left, enough for at least a few more rounds.

Throughout this time, she felt a chill run down her spine, but when she turned around, there was nothing there. She even felt as if the person was very close...

She shook her head, forcing herself not to scare herself. She continued picking chili peppers with a calm mind. "Lin Chaoyan, there are no ghosts in this world, don't overthink it..."

Thin-skinned, thick-fleshed, and brightly colored, this spicy chili pepper won't burn your heart. Once you get home, trim off the tail; fresh chilies shouldn't be rinsed before trimming.

Wash the chili peppers thoroughly and wipe them dry. Cut the chili peppers into small pieces a few millimeters in size, then add minced garlic and ginger. Add an appropriate amount of salt, white sugar, and cooled boiled water, stir well (adding a little wine would be even better), and then pack it into a jar to pickle.

Garlic chili sauce ingredients: half green chili peppers and half red chili peppers, garlic cloves, ginger, scallions, onions, and spices (star anise, bay leaves, cinnamon, and Sichuan peppercorns).

First, she chopped the green and red chili peppers, ginger, and garlic. A rhythmic, clanging sound of chopping echoed from the kitchen. Two cleavers moved with lightning speed in her hands, and soon Lin Chaoyan had chopped several large bowls full.

After that, heat oil in a wok, add the prepared onion chunks, ginger slices and all the spices and fry them until fragrant.

"Sizzle..." Smoke billowed up, and a series of crackling sounds came from the pot.

Add the chopped chili peppers and stir-fry for one minute. Add light soy sauce, oyster sauce, salt, chicken bouillon, and sugar (adding a little high-proof liquor is even better). Stir-fry evenly and let cool before packing into a jar.

To make homemade chili sauce, wash and slice ginger and garlic, and cut scallions into sections. Heat rapeseed oil to 6-7% of its maximum temperature, add scallions, ginger, and garlic, and fry over low heat until dry. Then add star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, and Sichuan peppercorns, and fry until they change color.

Mix dried chilies, both coarse and fine, together, then pour in the prepared chili oil (the chili oil should not be too hot, only 6-7 minutes hot, otherwise the chilies will burn). Within one minute, add light soy sauce, sugar, oyster sauce, chicken bouillon, cumin powder, five-spice powder, and white sesame seeds (if you like a numbing sensation, you can add a little Sichuan peppercorn powder). Stir well and let cool. Perfectly done, ready to be jarred!

After they returned from the fields, Lin Chaoyan had already started pickling kimchi. She removed the old leaves from the whole cabbage, washed it, drained the water, and then cut it into four pieces.

Then sprinkle salt evenly on each leaf and let it marinate for four hours after you've finished coating them all.

During this time, you can prepare the chili sauce ingredients for pickling spicy vegetables. Lin Chaoyan slowly stirs the glutinous rice paste over low heat, constantly stirring with a spoon until it becomes a smooth, thick consistency, and then lets it cool.

Peel and chop about ten apples and pears, then blend them with garlic and ginger into a paste. (The quantity depends on how many heads you're making; one large cabbage, one apple, and one pear will suffice.)

"Master, what are you doing?" Du Ming had just returned home when he heard a series of knocking sounds coming from the kitchen.

"Xiao Du's back! I'm preparing the ingredients for kimchi..." Lin Chaoyan turned to look at the twenty-one-year-old boy and smiled faintly. Then she continued with her work.

"Don't move, let me do it, I'm going to wash my hands..." After saying that, he hurriedly went out to wash his hands. Du Ming now understood how his master addressed him as "ancestor".

"Am I a capitalist? ... I haven't exploited him, so I'm not a capitalist, right? ... But I haven't paid him a salary..." Lin Chaoyan muttered to herself as she shoveled mud.

Next, Du Ming was forced to take over and made a whole basinful. Then he poured it into a larger wooden basin, added a lot of chili powder, glutinous rice paste, white sugar, and chicken essence, and continued to stir it.

After rinsing the cabbage, remove the excess water and then you can spread chili sauce on it.

"Next, you will spread the chili paste evenly on each cabbage leaf, especially the root. After that, put them into those big jars."

Over the next two weeks, Lin Chaoyan visited the vegetable garden several times, picking cucumbers to make cucumber peels, drying eggplants, blanching and drying preserved mustard greens and dried green beans, and pickling sauerkraut. She had no shortage of vegetables to eat all winter.

Since having someone by her side, Lin Chaoyan has stopped using her personal space, only occasionally going there to clear away the weeds in the field.

While taking a walk, she saw the treasures in the stream in front of her, and went back to get her basket and ran there.

"Chao Chao, where are you going? Take me with you..." Mo Nanfeng snapped again, a blind man being more agile than a sighted person.

Lin Chaoyan didn't have a chance to tell him. She used her sleeves and the loops to take off her shoes, lifted her skirt, and went down to pick them up.
