Exile at the start? The princess is no ordinary woman.

With this movement, Gu Nanzhi even doubted if this was her body anymore. To make matters worse, when she opened her eyes, there was a satiated man looking at her with a smile on his face.

"Jun Yanchen, have you never eaten meat in your eight lifetimes?"

Under the covers, Jun Yanchen placed his hand on her waist and gently massaged it.

"Nan Nan, last night you were the one who wouldn't let go of your husband, and even said you would take responsibility for me for the rest of your life."

Gu Nanzhi tried to recall, some vague memories exploding in her mind, tinged with a hint of shyness. She pulled the blanket up, trying to bury herself in it.

"nonsense"

Jun Yanchen did not let him back down, and pressed forward.

"Hmm? Nonsense? My lady, would you like me to help you remember...?"

Seeing that Jun Yanchen was about to get serious, and the hand on her waist had moved, Gu Nanzhi wouldn't stand for it; her back and legs were aching.

Wrapped in the blanket, she tried to roll out of Jun Yanchen's embrace, and even softened her tone.

"Jun Yanchen, my back aches..."

Seeing that his wife had given in, and was inexplicably endearing, Jun Yanchen was just joking with her. He had eaten his fill last night and knew his wife's back would ache, so he was just teasing her and couldn't bear to torment her any further.

"Madam, you've had a hard time,"

The man's hand returned to his waist and gently massaged it to relieve the soreness.

"Madam, it's time to get up. Are you hungry? Get up and have breakfast."

Gu Nanzhi clearly saw the tenderness in the man's eyes; was she really going to become his accomplice?

"Ugh, I'm too weak. You need to carry me out of bed and help me with washing up."

Jun Yanchen had never served anyone before, yet now he was serving Gu Nanzhi with great pleasure.

Gu Nanzhi kept ordering him around in his arms, even deliberately making a fuss, and Jun Yanchen served her with great patience.

After fussing around for a while, Gu Nanzhi couldn't help but laugh at his antics. She stopped acting up, let him put on a cloak, and then showed a satisfied expression.

After the two got up and had breakfast, Gu Nanzhi took out a pill from somewhere and put it in her mouth. This scene did not escape Jun Yanhen's eyes.

He immediately became worried, unaware of what was wrong with his wife.

"Nan Nan, are you feeling unwell?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Nanzhi immediately realized that he had seen her. After a moment's thought, she shook her head.

"No, that's a beauty-enhancing pill, not medicine."

Jun Yanchen clearly did not fully believe it.

"Really? How about letting Bai Zang take a look at you?"

"Alright, it really is a beauty pill. I know my own body, so don't worry unnecessarily."

Under Gu Nanzhi's unwavering conviction, Jun Yanchen reluctantly came to believe her.

As Lunar New Year's Eve passed and the new year arrived, the village's small workshop successfully opened. Gu Nanzhi stayed in the village to lead Wu Huiwen in management. After realizing that Wu Huiwen was able to handle things with ease, Gu Nanzhi let go and handed over full control of the workshop's operation to her.

Before she even started seeing patients at the clinic in the city, Gu Nanzhi went to the city after the small workshop was settled, and then she started seeing patients at the clinic every day.

Gu Nanzhi and Bai Zang were both skilled in medicine, and with the help of the Xu family's promotion, their clinic gained a good reputation.

They've been busy these days, busy with business expansion. With the operation of the small workshop, they quickly opened a rice noodle shop.

The cooperation with the Xu family has also yielded results.

On the other hand, Jun Yanchen has also been busy with his own things lately, sometimes leaving early and returning late. Gu Nanzhi didn't ask him much about his affairs.

Everyone went out together that day and returned home before curfew. Gu Nanzhi, who went out alone, brought back two sacks filled with something golden yellow, with grains that looked like cereal, but no one recognized it.

Besides that sack, there were also several green-shelled packages.

They looked at all these unfamiliar things and waited for Gu Nanzhi to explain them to them.

"Miss, what is this?"

"Madam, what is this?"

Gu Nanzhi glanced at it.

"Has Jun Yanchen returned?"

Cang Ling replied,

"Reporting to Madam, the master is in the study."

"Okay, then move these things to the main hall and call your master here."

"Yes"

Those present immediately sprang into action, and soon everyone gathered in the main hall for the unknown object.

"Nan Nan, you're back? Cang Ling told me you brought something back?"

Jun Yanchen, who was the last to enter, went straight to Gu Nanzhi.

Gu Nanzhi took Jun Yanchen's hand.

"Let Yoruichi and the others come out too,"

Jun Yanchen was puzzled, but he trusted her, so he summoned Ye Yi and several of her hidden guards, and suddenly there were four more people in the room.

Okay, now we can reveal the secret.

Gu Nanzhi stepped forward and opened the sack.

"Alright, everyone's here. This is called corn, it's a grain. The ones in the sack are mature seeds, and this is fresh, tender corn."

The golden corn kernels were exposed to everyone's eyes. Gu Nanzhi then picked up a tender ear of corn, peeled off the husk, and the corn cob inside was revealed to everyone.

"This is tender corn, still with milk. You can peel one and taste it; it's sweet."

These were all taken out of Gu Nanzhi's spatial storage. Although they now have wheat and rice, the yield is still insufficient, and food is ultimately in short supply.

She wouldn't let a higher corn yield pass her by.

food?

corn?

They didn't know her, but since it was Gu Nanzhi who presented it, they all believed her.

So one by one, they imitated Gu Nanzhi's actions, peeling off the outer shell, breaking off a piece, and putting it in their mouths to savor it carefully.

It will burst open.

Sweet

It's really edible, and quite delicious, sweet...

After tasting it, everyone looked at Gu Nanzhi in astonishment. The lady was truly amazing...

Jun Yanchen also looked intently at his wife; she seemed to hold many secrets...

Seeing that everyone had tasted it, Gu Nanzhi began to tell them the story again.

"Corn is a high-yield crop; if grown well, one acre can produce over a thousand catties of grain. It can also be prepared in many ways: tender corn can be boiled and eaten directly, made into corn cakes, fried, steamed..."

Mature corn like this can be ground into cornmeal, which can be used to make cornmeal rice, corn porridge, corn pancakes, corn buns, etc.

Gu Nanzhi listed a whole bunch of foods that these people didn't recognize.

"In short, there are many ways to eat it, and the yield is high, making it the most suitable crop to grow."

Gu Nanzhi talked at length, but everyone present was already shocked by her claim of a yield of a thousand catties per mu!

With such high yields, there's no need to worry about food shortages in the future.

This...this must be a gift from heaven!!!

After Gu Nanzhi finished speaking, everyone fell silent. Feeling confused, she asked another question.

"Hey, are you guys even listening?"

Only then did everyone realize what was happening and began to ask questions.

"Madam, is it true that one acre of land can produce over a thousand catties of grain? Is such a high yield possible?"
