Little Lord

Jiang Zhuozhuo turned into a sad little bird on the spot and spread out like a bird pancake.

Jiang Zhuozhuo is a person who can kill a cow by herself when no one loves her. But when people love her, she starts to act arrogantly and throws a tantrum anytime and anywhere.

For example, now, relying on the tenderness and consideration of Maine, the head maid, Jiang Zhuozhuo began to act like a demon: "I'm still young, I'm still a child, I haven't even grown my phoenix feathers yet, more sleep will help me grow!" She opened her mouth, "I have to sleep at least twelve hours a day! If I don't sleep for twelve hours, I will never grow my phoenix feathers!"

Compared to the long life span of the Phoenix Clan, Jiang Zhuozhuo was indeed still very young, and Maine did not force her to get up early to attend classes.

Thinking that Jiang Zhuozhuo was still a pitiful little round bird, Maine squatted down and patiently discussed with her: "Your Highness, please don't say such unlucky words. How about we change the general education class time to 2 pm?"

Jiang Zhuozhuo then stood up from the ground, shook off his feathers, and reluctantly accepted the class time: "Okay then."

Since the class was not until the afternoon, she was going to find a place to lie down in the sun. At her age, she never got enough sleep. She was always sleep deprived!
Maine saw through Jiang Zhuozhuo's intention and persuaded him: "Jude and the others have brought back the scrape-mouthed valley that Your Highness wanted. What do you want to use it for?"

Jiang Zhuozhuo insisted: "From now on, we will not call it Guazuigu anymore, but Shumai instead. Guazuigu doesn't taste good at all."

Maine doesn't think that Scrape Valley will taste better if it changes its name.

However, thinking about how Jiang Zhuozhuo used strange-tasting grass leaves and sour fruits as seasoning to grill fish yesterday, and how it tasted so delicious, Maine hesitated again.

Could it be that this Guaizui Valley can be made into a very special seasoning?

Maine said, "Okay, I'll take note of it. I'll issue your order later. From now on, we are not allowed to call it Scrape Valley in the entire Woye Province."

Jiang Zhuozhuo:?!
No, isn't it so formal?
Maine glanced at Jiang Zhuozhuo's wide-open black eyes, smiled secretly, and continued to persuade him: "Your Highness, what are you going to do with the barley?"

Maine was prepared to mobilize so many troops to change the name of the entire territory, Jiang Zhuozhuo suddenly felt that he had to figure out how to make the tree wheat more palatable as soon as possible.

She jumped up and said, "I'll go check it out!"

Maine followed Jiang Zhuozhuo to the warehouse where the tree wheat was stored.

Jiang Zhuozhuo was stunned for a moment when he saw the warehouse full of tree wheat. He didn't expect that one silver coin could buy so much. That kid was too honest!

The little round bird began to ponder over the mountain of wheat.

Theoretically, she is a bird now, and birds can eat grain directly.

I don’t know what millet tastes like when eaten raw!
Does this thing really shave your mouth?

Want to try it!

Jiang Zhuozhuo, who was too curious, hesitated for only a few seconds before he pecked at a grain of rice and bravely conducted an unforgettable tasting in his bird's life.

Then she felt the scraper was stuck in the bird's esophagus.

The little round bird couldn't swallow it or spit it out, and the whole bird fell to the ground and couldn't get up.

Prepare to close your eyes peacefully.

The enemy cannot move, I cannot move!
This mouth-scratching valley can't hurt me as long as I don't try to swallow it!

Maine: “…”

Maine used her perfect first aid skills to help Jiang Zhuozhuo spit out the scrape-mouthed saliva that was stuck in his throat.

In response, Jiang Zhuozhuo came to the conclusion very seriously: "Really shave your mouth!"

Maine warned seriously: "Your Highness, you can't eat this kind of thing directly in the future."

Jiang Zhuozhuo was still terrified: "That's for sure."

This kind of experience, which is like seeing your grandmother, is something no one would want to experience again!

Even the birds don’t want to!

Seeing that Jiang Zhuozhuo lay down again on the pretext that he needed to take a rest, Maine had no choice but to call two other maids to take care of Jiang Zhuozhuo while he went to handle official business.

Jiang Zhuozhuo took a nap in the sun and felt alive again. Thinking about her three meals a day, she once again seriously recalled how to make flour from wheat.

Before the mechanized production of flour was realized, it was very difficult for ordinary people to eat white flour. Just removing the husk was not easy, let alone making it into fine flour.

Jiang Zhuozhuo muttered to himself: "I heard that alchemists are very good at inventions. I have to find an alchemist and ask them to help me make some tools."

Since you know alchemy, it shouldn't be difficult to make some shelling machines, flour machines, etc.!

At worst, a water mill or a wind mill will do!

Now the question is, are there any alchemists in their remote province?
Jiang Zhuozhuo kept the plan of recruiting alchemists in mind for the time being.

Before that, we can only rely on manual labor to grind the flour.

Jiang Zhuozhuo was well aware of his own ability to do things, so he ordered his maid Anna to find some hard-working young men to do the work.

Start by unpacking!
Thinking of the hairy feeling of the shaver stuck in his throat, the little round bird fiercely ordered the knights who were temporarily pulled over: "Take it off, take it off, take it off all of them!"

Knights:?

They are excellent graduates of the Royal Knights Academy... Well, they are not as outstanding as Adjutant Maine, they are just ordinary graduates.

If it weren't for His Highness's previous special circumstances, they would have no chance of being selected into the Royal Knights.

Now it is their duty to do as many chores as possible for His Highness!

Now that there were people working, Jiang Zhuozhuo became very happy.

It is winter now, and they can find a place with thick ice. Jiang Zhuozhuo commands the knights to make tools for pounding wheat on the spot and take them to dig... ice holes on the ice.

This was a beautiful memory from her childhood. Ever since her grandmother passed away and she was taken back to the city by her parents, Jiang Zhuozhuo had never experienced the joy of making ice cubes and pounding wheat again.

She explained the trick of making ice-bowls to the knights in great earnest, and at the end she personally demonstrated to them how to remove the hard-to-swallow wheat bran by repeatedly beating it.

It's definitely not that she wants to take advantage of the opportunity to play ovo
Anna and the others were also eager to try.

It’s not that they don’t have the self-cultivation of a maid, but this looks really fun!
At this time, the knights also dug several neat rows of ice holes on the thick ice layer, and began to pound the wheat in a uniform manner under the sunlight.

Jiang Zhuozhuo had had enough fun, so he turned into a small round bird and squatted on a branch to admire this picture... of a knight pounding rice in winter.

It would be a shame not to paint such a beautiful scene. She is a serious art student! But when she thought about the fact that all the paints here had to be rubbed by hand, Jiang Zhuozhuo gave up. There was nothing she could do. She just had no perseverance!

At the same time, several falcons flew high in the sky.

Falcons have excellent eyesight. One of them caught a glimpse of a group of knights busy on the ice field. He couldn't help but discuss with his companions curiously: "Boss, what are they doing? Is it some special training?"

The leading hawk did not answer. He had no interest in these topics and only had his own tasks to complete.

"If I remember correctly, this should be the Woye Province, the territory of the Ninth Princess." The subordinates behind him were still noisy, "You said that Her Majesty is so wise and powerful, how could she give birth to a fool?"

The leading hawk finally spoke up: "Don't talk about others rashly, and don't belittle others at will. Luke, it seems that you need to retake the "Chivalric Virtue"."

The falcon named Luke quickly shut up.

Several people flew silently over the Woye Province.

Jiang Zhuozhuo (in the form of a small round bird), who was squatting on a tree, suddenly sneezed, causing the maid Anna to nervously come forward to ask if she had a cold.

The little round bird said seriously: "No, I'm not sick, someone is scolding me!"

Just get vaccinated once, and you will definitely not get sick!

The little round bird looked up at the sky as if it was aware of something, and could only vaguely see a few black dots that were already very far away.

She said to Anna confidently, "It's them. It must be those guys who just flew over and scolded me."

Anna followed her gaze but could see nothing. It was obvious that although Jiang Zhuozhuo had not yet grown phoenix feathers, his perception ability was much stronger than theirs.

Their princess is indeed of the Phoenix bloodline. Even though she awakened later than other princesses, she is still incomparable to ordinary birds.

How could Jiang Zhuozhuo have known that just picking a few birds to take the blame would actually make the maid around him think so much?
She happily worked as a supervisor for half a day and successfully harvested the fragrant wheat kernels.

She took the wheat kernels and went straight to the kitchen, asking the cook to free up the stove to cook wheat kernel rice for her.

This is the most direct way to eat wheat. First, boil a pot of broth with meat with bones, then pour in the wheat kernels and seasonings and simmer slowly.

The wheat germ rice cooked over low heat like this will make the meat inside soft and tasty. Every bite of rice has a strong meaty aroma and is very delicious!
The cook is very motivated. After seeing Jiang Zhuozhuo's grilled fish yesterday, she was convinced. Today, she followed Jiang Zhuozhuo's instructions and was responsible for cooking this unprecedented wheat rice.

After peeling the skin, this scraped rice seems... not so hard to eat?
The cook immediately looked forward to the fresh food she was about to eat.

Although it is a bit complicated to make, requiring the preparation of various seasonings and the constant addition and subtraction of firewood to control the heat, but if it can taste as good as yesterday's grilled fish... that would be unimaginable!

If the wildly growing guazui valley all over the mountains could actually become delicious, wouldn't their Woye Province become rich? !

In this case, the Scraping Valley is not a punishment from God to them, but a gift to them!

At noon, Jiang Zhuozhuo ate the barbecue that the cook had improved.

Although it cannot change the fact that the meat quality is bad, it is still much better than the original taste a few days ago.

If you don’t eat, you’ll be hungry!
Jiang Zhuozhuo managed to eat half of his meal, saving some space for the wheat kernel rice.

I have classes in the afternoon.

This is the general knowledge of mainland China, you have to learn it.

Since they were unable to hire a suitable general education professor to teach Jiang Zhuozhuo, Maine will be the temporary guest teacher today.

Jiang Zhuozhuo carefully took out his small notebook and prepared to take notes.

Fortunately, there is paper in this era, which is the research result of a great alchemist in the imperial capital. Both production and recycling are very simple. You only need to throw straw into the entrance of the paper mill to spit out an endless supply of paper.

Only the cutting process costs some labor.

So, if you have an alchemist at hand, many problems can be easily solved.

Sooner or later, barley thrown into the water can be turned directly into flour, and the bran can be separated for breeding!
Jiang Zhuozhuo told Maine about his wonderful idea.

Maine hesitated to speak.

Jiang Zhuozhuo asked: "Is it not possible?"

Maine replied: "Given the current tax situation in our fertile province, I'm afraid we can't afford to pay the alchemist half a month's salary."

Jiang Zhuozhuo:.

It seems that real talents are always valuable no matter where they are!
Jiang Zhuozhuo asked: "Is it too late for me to start learning alchemy now? When we can't eat one day, I can still go out to work and support you!"

Maine said, "The secrets of alchemy are only in the hands of a very small number of people. They are very exclusive. Unless they take the initiative to accept you, outsiders will never have the opportunity to get in touch with them. And even if there is a great alchemist willing to accept you as an apprentice, the tuition and alchemical materials required are astronomical figures that are difficult for our territory to come up with."

Jiang Zhuozhuo lay on the desk like a bird.

She was oversimplifying things.

Damn rich people!

They are actually monopolizing knowledge!
After Maine's clear and organized explanation, Jiang Zhuozhuo had a preliminary understanding of this strange world.

There are currently three known independent continents.

The East Continent is mainly controlled by the Bird Clan, who all worship the Phoenix Clan as their emperor. Unfortunately, every time the throne changes, there will be a lot of trouble.

The Western Continent is mainly controlled by the beastmen, who form a relatively peaceful federation with the various beastmen. Occasionally, conflicts will arise and they will even break out.

There is also a northern continent that was reclaimed later, which is basically a mixed state of birds and beasts, and there are also some special races that originally lived there, such as goblins.

The Northern Continent was originally a loose group of people, until a hundred years ago when a leader with particularly strong cohesion emerged and built a prosperous city-state that was equivalent to a holy place in the hearts of the people of the Northern Continent - Free City.

The three continents have trade exchanges, and people move between them from time to time, but they generally live their own lives, so there is no need to worry about fighting for the time being.

Jiang Zhuozhuo understood.

This is a peaceful version of the Three Kingdoms!

It was initially identified as a very suitable environment for salted fish to survive!
