The lady may not be human

With excitement and surprise, the prince and the others got on the small train.

After Shi Qing explained his daily affairs, he drove the small train himself and set off chug-chug.

The orchard is farther away. In order to better prevent sand and strengthen the forest, the fruit trees are planted in the farthest part of this village, and the road needs to be longer.

The mountain road has been repaired, but no cement has been paved, because in the follow-up planning of Dongnuan, some places still need to be restructured, so there is no need to pave cement for the time being.

Moreover, she is not in a hurry here, she doesn't need to use it first, it is better to use cement first where needed.

As for the news that Prince He and Lord Xu came over, Shi Qing had already sent someone to inform them when they met Hanjiang Tower.

Dong Nuan had just tidied up a few trees, and when he heard the news, he went to the hut not far away and tidied himself up briefly.

The mountain is also full of old work clothes, or hard clothes, so it is impossible to change clothes. The most is to tidy up herself so that she does not look so embarrassed, so as not to be rude.

The speed of the small train was still quite fast, and the road was repaired and leveled, so after a while, Prince He and the others arrived.

Dong Nuan has already brought two maidservants to greet her on the side of the road.

"I have seen the prince." Dong Nuan greeted the prince first, then nodded and greeted Mr. Qiao.

Mrs. Qiao's official rank is displayed there. According to the etiquette, Dong Nuan ranks higher than him, so there is no need to salute, just a greeting.

Mrs. Qiao was still immersed in the joy of the little train at this time, when he heard Dong Nuan's voice, he suddenly slowed down, and quickly cupped his hands to greet Dong Nuan.

Mr. Qiao was just transferred to the Ministry of Industry this fall. He used to be in the local area. He was said to be capable, so he was transferred back to the capital.

Of course, it's also because the Qiao family has connections in the capital. Speaking of which, Master Qiao is still the uncle of the Cao family's eldest daughter-in-law, the Qiao family.

There are people in the capital, and their abilities are good. After a few years of expatriate experience, they can almost be transferred back to the capital.

Qiao Shilang is like this, so he is not too familiar with Dongnuan, at most he just listened to a few more words from the Qiao clan.

However, this does not affect his friendship with Dong Nuan, or the closer relationship.

After all, a mature adult has such means and abilities.

In contrast, Prince He is much more familiar with Dong Nuan. After all, he has eaten the fruit in Dong Nuan's orchard and used the spices from Dong Nuan's side.

Now that Dongnuan has another surprise, Prince He can't help but want to see Dongnuan's new orchard.

"Hey, there is no such tree in the capital."

"Not this one, what a pity!"

……

After walking around with the prince, he found many trees he had never seen before, so he asked about them.

Dong Nuan answered in time.

The temperature in Jing County is very good, so many trees can be planted. Compared with Beijing, the species will be more abundant.

It's just that some species haven't been introduced yet, so it's a lot less fun.

Dongnuan's eyes have been fixed on Youchang country in the south.

It's a pity that the two countries are in the stage of strictly guarding against death, and there is only one trade fair every quarter, and there are not many things that can be traded.

However, there are quite a few species in Dong Nuan Orchard, and there is no rush to develop new species, so you can wait and see.

Maybe one day, when Dayue recuperates, they will destroy Youchang directly, and then it will be a state capital of their own country. What do you want, just say hello and just go there?

emperor:? ? ?
Dongnuan took Prince He and Master Qiao around the orchard. The temperature in Jingxian County was good, so after walking around, everyone would not feel cold, and Prince He even broke out in sweat.

The fruit forest has just been planted, and if it wants to bear fruit, it will have to wait until next year.

So, there is nothing to eat.

After turning around and satisfying the curiosity of several adults, Dongnuan took people on a small train and chugs down the mountain.

Next to the orchard is a [-]-acre field, and the wheat planted now has sprouted.

Looking at the sprouts, Prince He was quite surprised: "This is a new plant, it can..."

He wants to ask, can it work in winter?
But thinking about it, the heavy snowfall in the capital and the nearby states, and the warmth of spring in Jing County, he shut himself up.

Seeing this, Dong Nuan was a little curious, and always felt that something bad happened on the way with the prince and the others.

Otherwise, even if the capital is farther away from Lizhou, when His Majesty is in a hurry, he will definitely make them hurry up.

Xu Zhifu's Zhezi will arrive in the capital in October at the latest, but he and the Prince have traveled for a month before coming to Lizhou, and he also knows that there is something wrong in between.

However, Dong Nuan had no intention of stabbing them in the heart for the time being, so he didn't ask any more questions.

After the group went back, Dong Nuan received Prince He and the others in the staff dormitory.

After everyone sat down, they took a sip of hot tea.

Different from the refreshments they drank before, the scented tea served by Dongnuan this time is very elegant, with a hint of sweetness. After careful tasting, there is also an elegant fragrance of flowers from nature, which makes people endlessly aftertaste.

After drinking with the prince, he shouted loudly: "Okay!"

Master Qiao was relatively reserved, but he still took a few sips.

Xu Zhifu drank it before, and he still finds it amazing.

When the tea just came out, Dong Nuan sent someone to deliver it to him, so Xu Zhifu had already drank it.

However, Dongnuan doesn't send much.

Most of the flowers in her flower field were sent to make soap, spices, and scented tea, only a small part, the taste is very good, and the effect is good.

Dongnuan gave away a lot of gifts, and I still have to keep them for drinking.

"If the prince likes it, when you return to Beijing, take some with you, just to help me bring some back to His Majesty." Hearing Prince He's sigh, Dong Nuan replied with a smile.

Hearing this, Prince He's eyes lit up, obviously very satisfied with the winter warm arrangement.

After drinking tea, he ate a few more snacks. It was freshly baked flower cakes, and Prince Jean and Prince's eyes lit up again. Although he is a man, he really likes this kind of fragrant and sweet things.

Now take a bite, the fragrance remains on the lips and teeth, and when you taste it carefully, the thin and tender petals seem to be slowly melted in the mouth, and then together with the sweet filling, people can't help but squint their eyes in satisfaction.

"This is also good!!!" After eating with the prince, they clapped their hands again.

Dongnuan was naturally polite again.

This is the flower cake after Dongnuan improvement, and the taste is not bad.

However, today's technology is limited, and the shelf life of these things is not long. Even if they want to sell them, they will be between a few nearby state capitals at most, and it will not work any farther away.

Even if there is a small train, it is a long way from Lizhou to the capital, and it still needs to pull fuel, otherwise the fuel will run out halfway, and the small train will become a decoration.

Therefore, when Dong Nuan politely said that he could take it home to eat, he did not forget to remind him: "The storage time for dim sum is still short. If the prince takes it with him on the road, remember to finish it earlier."
