Little Lord

Mayor Xia returned home and saw no one on the first floor. He went up to the second floor and saw that the room was dark except for a lamp on the desk.

The room was filled with the smell of burning lamp oil. There were a lot of paper documents thrown around the desk, and hiding in the pile of documents was a handsome young man.

Because he had not seen the sun for a long time, his skin was sickly pale and his lips looked unusually rosy.

Hearing the footsteps, he put down the pen in his hand and looked up, his unusual pale eyes showing a hint of genuine joy: "Xia, you're back."

The two met by chance. At that time, Xia was working and studying in the imperial capital with a reckless spirit, and he would grab any opportunity he got.

For a period of time, she sneaked into an aristocratic college posing as a cook, and secretly went to other people's classrooms to listen in on classes during breaks. It was at that time that she met her husband who was being bullied.

Although he was born into an aristocratic family, he was bullied by his own brother, and his classmates also enjoyed making fun of him.

Xia rushed forward to help him.

The result, of course, was...she lost her job and had to find another opportunity to study.

There's also a follower.

The man said to her very seriously: "I can teach you anything you want to learn."

Xia didn't believe it at first, but later she found out that he was not lying and he really was an amazing encyclopedia.

If you ask him about something he doesn't know, he will learn it for a while and be able to explain it fluently.

How could such a genius be bullied like that?

Maybe it was because his eye color was different from that of ordinary people, he was very quiet, and he never showed himself in front of his elders, which made those people more unscrupulous? The open and secret struggles between male birds were never small.

When Xia was about to return to Woye Province, her husband followed her to the boat eagerly, pursed his lips and asked her carefully: "Can you take me with you? I am very useful."

She hesitated for only a moment before agreeing.

The imperial capital might be a good place, but he was not happy living there. If he was not used to the life in the fertile province after going back with her, she would ask someone to send him back to the imperial capital.

It was already autumn when the two returned to Woye Province. He still didn't like to interact with others. He only talked to her, followed him around, and listened to her plans on how to develop his hometown.

He was not Xia's ideal partner. He looked too fragile and not suitable for the desolate and backward Woye Province.

It’s just that love is something that has no logic at all. Once you fall in love, you fall in love. Even if you are not suitable in any way, you will still have to be with each other in the end.

Xia sat down and talked to her husband about rotational grazing.

In some prosperous and wealthy areas, animal husbandry is also quite developed. The nobles all have their own private ranches, where special people raise livestock and mounts for them.

However, the Woye Province lacked healthy young and middle-aged laborers, and lacked courageous leaders. The meat animals raised had no smooth export channels, so the entire animal husbandry industry was still very primitive.

It's almost like planning from scratch.

Jiang Zhuozhuo was right. They wanted to develop their hometown, not destroy it, so they could not exchange development results at the cost of destroying their hometown.

"By the way, that young specialist also gave me a snack." Xia took out the snack box she brought back, opened it and pushed it in front of her husband. "It tastes very good. Let's try it together."

"Ah."

The two of them shared Jiang Zhuozhuo's chestnut cake piece by piece.

This pastry is sweet but not greasy, and has a natural chestnut aroma. It tastes really good.

Xia looked at the snack box that had been emptied without him noticing, and murmured to himself, "It seems that this is not an ordinary commissioner."

This kind of exquisite and delicious food has always been enjoyed only by nobles, but the other party’s logistics staff can actually make it.

……

Jiang Zhuozhuo didn't know that her identity had been discovered. She was flying to the target village with Huo Weiler and others.

With the help of town staff, Jiang Zhuozhuo landed safely after flying for about half an hour.

It was a village located on a cliff. The bird tribe relied on their ability to fly whenever they went out and built the door directly on the high cliff, thus effectively preventing attacks from wild beasts.

There are very few animals with wings like the winged horses, and most of them cannot climb up this kind of cliff with no road.

However, choosing to settle on the cliff also means that this group of people cannot defeat the wild beasts nearby.

Who wouldn’t want a bright and convenient home?

Jiang Zhuozhuo led Huo Weiler to an old snow-covered tree on the edge of the cliff and urged Huo Weiler to work: "Hurry up and remember how many households there are on the cliff."

This is the wonderful use of Howler that she discovered along the way. This man is from the Eagle tribe. What does the Eagle tribe represent!
He has eagle eyes!
With just a casual glance, he could see everything clearly!

Coupled with his amazing memory, he is a natural scanner and can remember everything he sees.

No need to worry about missing any birds during the bird census!
A truly smart bird is better at using tools than working hard on itself!

Ho Tool Wheeler:.

Hoviler followed instructions and began to memorize the number and location of the "hole houses" (just named by Jiang Zhuozhuo) on the cliff.

It took less than half a minute in total.

But when he finished memorizing carefully, he turned around and found that the little round bird next to him was gone.

Howler flew up and looked around, and suddenly found that the little round bird had landed on a protruding rock not far away, and was curiously circling around a snow-white flower, leaving a circle of small claw marks on the snow on the rock.

"Your Highness?"

Horville flew over and stood aside, looking at the flower that attracted the little round bird's interest. He saw that the thin petals were half-opened, revealing the brown heart inside, which looked very beautiful.

"Do you want to take it back?"

Jiang Zhuozhuo said: "No, you can't just pick them casually."

In the past, this was a national protected plant and picking it casually would result in imprisonment.

This was the first time she had seen such beautiful flowers blooming in the snow. If she picked them, they would wither soon. It would be better to let them stay here and bloom and bear fruit freely.

More flowers will grow in the future!
Hoville said, "Your Highness, do you know what flower this is?"

Jiang Zhuozhuo nodded repeatedly: "This must be snow lotus! It mainly treats... irregular menstruation!"

Hoville: "..."

As a "child from another family" who has been both good in character and academics since childhood, Howler certainly knows some basic physiological knowledge, such as the physiological phenomenon of menstruation that exists in some beast tribes in the Western Continent.

I didn't expect Jiang Zhuozhuo to have such a wide range of knowledge. He even knew that this flower could treat irregular menstruation.

Huo Weiler was silent for a moment, and could only stiffly praise: "Your Highness is really knowledgeable."

Jiang Zhuozhuo:.

Who didn’t know about the Tianshan Snow Lotus when they were little? It’s a miraculous medicine that will be snatched up by the entire martial arts world once it appears in the world!

When Jiang Zhuozhuo first learned that there actually was such a plant as "Tien Shan Snow Lotus" in the world, he went to look it up - only then did he realize that this thing was mainly used to treat irregular menstruation!

Similarly, there is the very domineeringly named "Wangbuliuxing", whose effects are equally impressive, for example, it can treat milk obstruction!
After checking, Jiang Zhuozhuo had only one thought -

The novel authors who put the names of these herbs in capital letters, did you know how powerful you are? =v=
After appreciating the legendary snow lotus, Jiang Zhuozhuo contentedly continued his bird population census.

The situation in the village is similar to that in the town. This ethnic group has lived here for generations. In winter, they hide in caves and rely on stored food to survive, and go out to find food in spring.

Occasionally, a few children with good physiques were born in the village, and they were all supported by their fellow villagers to go out and explore the world.

What makes Jiang Zhuozhuo regretful is that he didn't find any fresh ingredients here, and he still has to live on bean porridge and barley after winter.

This is also very normal. If there were such abundant resources, why would the Woye Province be so poor and backward?

It is a pleasant surprise that we can now develop such precious food as barley!

However, it was not without any gain. Jiang Zhuozhuo was pleasantly surprised to find that the beans commonly grown in this village were top-quality red beans!

But this kind of red beans is not the same as what she remembered. It is said that it grows on the sunny rock wall opposite. After the spring comes, it will bloom in large patches and then produce red bean pods.

The locals call it "rock beans". The beans are very small and taste very bland, so they are not particularly popular - so no one sells them, and Jiang Zhuozhuo has never seen them before.

Jiang Zhuozhuo accepted it quickly. Since wheat can grow on trees, what's so strange about Hongdou being able to climb rocks?
She excitedly asked how many winter beans the village had, and planned to go back and find someone to bring money and food to exchange for them.

Jiang Zhuozhuo even said mysteriously to Huo Weiler: "I'll ask Helana to make a new snack with it later. I'm sure you will like it very much!"

Hoville was a little confused.

He has never had high requirements for food. As long as it can provide enough nutrition, it doesn't matter whether he likes it or not.

This is actually the dietary perspective of many people; they do not pursue the desire for food.

Of course, if there is something delicious, they will not deliberately abuse their taste buds.

For example, the food they ate in the fertile province made Luke and his friends shout that they would "stay here even if they didn't get paid."

You know, every time they get their salary in the imperial capital, they go out to eat two meals in those restaurants that only serve the nobility, and their money is basically gone!

Even though he couldn't imagine what the food Jiang Zhuozhuo was talking about that "you will definitely like" was, Huo Weiler still said sincerely: "Thank you, Your Highness."

Jiang Zhuozhuo met those sincere golden eyes, and for a moment he actually felt... wasn't it enough to just treat them to red bean glutinous rice cakes?

Considering that this man has been her tool all the way, she will make him a red bean smoothie with fresh red beans next summer!

If this person is still here next year.

At this moment, Jiang Zhuozhuo firmly believed that Huo Weiler was a sweet person!
His cold appearance is just that, he actually loves sweet things!
……

On the other side, after a long journey of half a month, Wilder returned to the imperial capital.

His elder brother was trying to stop him from saying something sarcastic.

Wilder used to be annoyed by this guy, but this time he somehow started laughing as he listened.

He thought of the meaning of the word "sour" that Jiang Zhuozhuo had told him.

At this moment, the more I listened, the more I felt that my brother's words were full of sourness.

When Brother Wilder heard his laughter, he suddenly became angry.

Unfortunately, before he could roll up his sleeves to teach Wilde a lesson, he heard the butler come over and say to Wilde, "Young Master, His Majesty wants to see you."

Wilder calmly adjusted his collar and said to his brother who looked sour, "Brother, I'm going to leave you first."

After saying this, he couldn't help laughing twice more.

No wonder the little round bird laughed so happily at that time, it turns out that watching others being jealous is so interesting.
