Little Lord

For lunch that day, I had a bowl of ordinary knife-cut noodles.

The reason why it is said to be mediocre is that Jiang Zhuozhuo put all his effort into looking through the edible part of the "Imperial Plant Atlas" but couldn't find any crop that could replace peppers.

Jiang Zhuozhuo always felt that something was missing from the sliced ​​noodles without oil and chili peppers, so he could only prepare a few more flavors of toppings to choose from.

Of course, this bowl of knife-cut noodles was a big shock to both Old Lu and Moji and his mother.

When they first took a bite of the noodles, they felt smooth and chewy. The more they chewed, the more delicious it became. Before they could react, the whole bowl of noodles had already gone into their stomachs.

Moji embarrassedly asked for another bowl and tentatively asked what the knife-cut noodles were made of.

He always liked to get to the bottom of things, and now he looked at Jiang Zhuozhuo expectantly, hoping that his doubts could be answered from the mouth of their little lord.

Jiang Zhuozhuo had almost finished eating, and he didn't hide it from them: "This is all made from barley!"

Tree wheat?

Moji was a little confused.

It was his mother who gave him the answer: "It's Scrape Mouth Valley. The Lord asked everyone to change the name not long ago."

After she finished speaking, she was so shocked that she couldn't calm down for a long time. If the marinated beans were only the result of the magical marinade, then the transformation from scraped beans to noodles could be called a miracle.

Their lord is a descendant of the Phoenix clan with the blood of the Mother Goddess, so he must have received an extraordinary inheritance!

Jiang Zhuozhuo didn’t think it was anything great, she was just standing on the shoulders of the giant ball.

After she had eaten and drunk her fill, she followed Mogi and his mother to visit his aunt.

Aunt Moggie's name is Faye, and she has lived alone in the forest for more than forty years.

She almost died at the hands of her mother shortly after she hatched, and her father has been immersed in grief ever since. Faye was raised by her sister, Mogi's mother, and her face looks somewhat like Mogi's mother.

Just obviously much younger.

Faye was a little surprised to see her sister suddenly bringing outsiders over.

It's just that she has been living in seclusion for many years, and has unconsciously developed a temperament that is detached from the world. Even when facing Jiang Zhuozhuo, who is obviously from an aristocratic family, she was not too panicked.

"Sister, Moji, why are you here?" Fei's eyes fell on Jiang Zhuozhuo, "Who is..."

Mo Ji introduced Jiang Zhuozhuo's identity to his aunt: "This is our lord, the ninth princess of the empire. She wants to learn about mushroom cultivation from you."

Fei didn't expect that Moji and his mother could actually contact the lord. She was a little surprised at first, and then she felt that her sister and nephew shouldn't tell Jiang Zhuozhuo about her mushroom cultivation.

You should know that this kind of poisonous substances cannot be planted privately. If you are discovered by the security team, you may be arrested and sent to jail.

It was only because she never had contact with outsiders that such troubles never came to her.

“I don’t know anything about mushroom cultivation,” Fahey said.

When Mogi's mother heard Fei say this, her face turned pale and she realized that she might have meant well but ended up doing something bad.

Jiang Zhuozhuo had taken mainland general education courses for a long time and was no longer a rookie who knew nothing. As soon as he saw the sisters' expressions, he knew what they were worried about.

Jiang Zhuozhuo assured Fei Yi: "Since I'm here, I will definitely not pursue the issue of your private planting."

She also told him that she had hired Mogi.

Jiang Zhuozhuo said, "If you can really grow edible mushrooms, I will use the same contract to hire you to help me grow edible mushrooms."

Fei Yi didn't expect Jiang Zhuozhuo to make such an invitation.

You know, even her sister who loved her the most advised her not to do such stupid things when she found out that she was growing this kind of thing. Others may not know, but this thing really poisoned their mother to death!
They themselves nearly lost their lives.

Faye was still a little bit incredulous: "But...but...why did you hire me?"

Jiang Zhuozhuo smiled and said, "Of course it's because I want to eat it!"

She didn't think there was anything difficult to understand. Given the current economic situation in Woye Province, it was pure dreaming for her to develop the entertainment industry.

We still have to solve the problem of food and clothing for the general public first before considering other things!

In order to dispel Aunt Moji's worries, Jiang Zhuozhuo shared enthusiastically: "Let me tell you, we have color-changing fish in our castle now. We can know whether the mushrooms you grow are edible by letting them taste them first!"

The chameleon fish is a very small fish, no bigger than the tip of a finger. Its characteristic is that it will want to take a bite of any unfamiliar food it sees, and will die of depression if it cannot take a bite.

The reason why it is called color-changing fish is that it is transparent throughout and the entire fish can change colors according to the water quality and food characteristics.

If you eat something poisonous, your stomach will turn upside down and you will die on the spot.

The response was nothing short of rapid.

Nobles often used it to test poison.

Perhaps because they die quickly, these fish reproduce very quickly. Generally, as long as you buy a batch of both male and female color-changing fish, you will never have to worry about not having enough.

Even if you are cheated by the merchants, it doesn't matter if you buy all females or all males. They can change their sex when they find that there are no males or females in the school...

It can be seen that if a certain creature keeps committing suicide but does not become extinct, it must have some extraordinary features!

Of course, the fish is "enough" only if the user does not like to commit suicide or try new foods.

For example, Jiang Zhuozhuo has been trying so many new ways to eat fish recently that she almost made the chameleon fish they brought from the imperial capital to settle here extinct!
Faye had no chance to learn about these things, so she was naturally excited to learn that the nobles actually had such a way to determine whether mushrooms were edible. She hesitated and said, "I have only grown mushrooms in the forest. I don't know if I can grow them somewhere else."

Jiang Zhuozhuo said, "It doesn't matter, you can continue to live here. I will hire a few more people later, and they will be under your care then!" After she said that, she turned to Mo Ji, "You too, interview a group of people to help you. It is impossible for you to grow all these crops by yourself." Mo Ji looked dazed.

Old Lu came over to see if he could eat mushrooms today. Seeing that Jiang Zhuozhuo had almost made the arrangements, he immediately asked, "Are there any mushrooms here now?"

Fay replied: "There are no suitable mushrooms in winter."

Old Lu was very disappointed.

Jiang Zhuozhuo was also disappointed.

Fortunately, now that the talent has been poached, Jiang Zhuozhuo is not in a hurry. She discusses the future development direction with Fei Yi in a serious manner: first distinguish which mushrooms are suitable for eating fresh and which are suitable for eating after being dried, and try to eat as much mushrooms as possible when they are in season, and make do with dried mushrooms when they are not in season!
Looking at her serious expression and tone, people who didn't know her would think she was making an important speech.

Jiang Zhuozhuo finished chatting with Fei Yi, and when he turned around, he found that Lao Lu had already left.

She muttered, "Why are you running so fast?", waved goodbye to Mogi and the other two, and flew away to play somewhere else.

Jiang Zhuozhuo flew aimlessly for a while, and suddenly noticed that the town below was very lively, with many people queuing down below.

She landed curiously, blended into the flock of birds watching nearby and asked, "What are they queuing for?"

The birds were discussing excitedly and didn't notice the stranger who had sneaked in. They explained to her enthusiastically, "Viscount Galen is giving us winter supplies. You can get them as long as you line up. Have you received one? If not, go and line up now!"

The imperial titles are divided into five levels: Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, and Baron, and Viscount is the second to last.

But in their fertile province...

It's so funny, there are no nobles above the viscount level.

When Jiang Zhuozhuo heard that there was such a good thing as getting it for free, he was almost tempted.

Then he thought that he was now a lord, and it would be inappropriate to compete with others for relief.

Jiang Zhuozhuo reluctantly rejected the free temptation: "No, let's leave it to someone who needs it more."

When the other birds heard that she had such a high level of awareness, they immediately looked at her with new eyes. They pointed at the fat old man in the queue and complained: "It would be great if everyone thought like you. Look at that old man, his family owns a whole street of houses, and he even had the nerve to accept the relief supplies given to us by Viscount Galen."

Jiang Zhuozhuo's face turned red when he heard this.

She also wanted to queue up just now!
Don't stay here for long!

Jiang Zhuozhuo had seen enough of the excitement and flew back to share his experiences with Maine.

"It seems that Viscount Galen is a good man!"

Jiang Zhuozhuo made this conclusion based on his simple values.

Maine said: "Not necessarily. Maybe he will soon receive the blessing of the Mother Goddess."

This was unfamiliar knowledge that Jiang Zhuozhuo had not yet learned, and he could not help but look at Maine in confusion.

Maine had originally planned to devote an entire class to this topic.

But since Jiang Zhuozhuo had already come into contact with her, she took the opportunity to introduce her to him.

It is said that as long as all bird tribes do not do evil things that will anger God and people, they can obtain the blessing of the Mother Goddess, and each blessing can extend your life by one hundred to eighty years.

Unfortunately, this is only a theoretical statement. In reality, many people may work diligently all their lives but still fail to reach the threshold of receiving the Mother Goddess's blessing.

The ancients once explored where the problem lies, and finally came to several conclusions: 1. You must live safely to be 100 years old; 2. During this period, you must give birth to offspring and contribute to the reproduction of the race; 3. During this period, you cannot use your income only on yourself, but use your income to help others.

Only a few people are able to break these three rules.

Just don’t think that these three points seem easy. In fact, the first point alone has already screened out most of the civilians.

Because civilians live in extreme poverty, they have to accept all kinds of work that is beyond their physical capacity and overdraw their lives to earn a meager salary to support themselves and their families.

It was already difficult to survive, so how could they spare the energy to help others? However, the nobles felt like they had found a treasure when they got this rule.

If an old nobleman who looks old and has a harsh face suddenly helps a large number of civilians, it is definitely not because he has a change of heart, but because he is about to turn 100.

It’s shameful to cram at the last minute, but it’s useful!

At least many nobles who usually look down on common people thought of obtaining the blessing of the Mother Goddess in this way.

Jiang Zhuozhuo looked serious after hearing this.

Maine asked, "Is there something you didn't understand, Your Highness?"

Jiang Zhuozhuo said: "No, I understood everything!"

She just felt that...the legendary mother goddess had already become a god, so why was she still worrying so much about the bird population growth rate!

They actually list hatching baby birds as an important KPI in a bird’s life!

If you don’t hatch the eggs, you will die!

Jiang Zhuozhuo:.

So once they have enough manpower, should they do a bird population census?
