Forced to farm for the princess

Wei Ruojin returned to the camp and saw Lin Heng walking into his own tent, and called out, "Lin Heng, come to my tent for dinner tonight."

Lin Heng took a deep look at him and nodded.

However, Wei Ruojin didn't return and immediately went back to the tent, and someone took him directly to the temporary kitchen. Seeing him coming, the people in the kitchen quickly bowed and stood aside.

"You don't need to prepare the dinner for my lord and I. I'll take some food and handle it by myself. Is there a small stove? Give me one, and I'll send it back tomorrow." Wei Ruojin waved her hand, seeing that those people were still in awe and fear. demand.

"I don't know what things the princess needs, I will prepare the little ones for you right away." An elderly man with a limp stepped forward.

"Let me see."

The kitchen put all the food on the table for him to choose. Wei Ruojin thought that there was not much food to eat now. Looking at it this way, there were actually quite a lot, but he didn't know most of them, so he had to ask for a long time.

After Wei Ruojin left with what she wanted, there was a burst of discussion in the kitchen.

"Does the concubine want to cook dinner for the prince? Does it really matter that he doesn't even know anything? Then the prince will blame him..."

"It must be to cook food for the prince. Although the emperor personally ordered it, they are all men..."

"What's wrong with men, who stipulates that men can't be together; but the princess is the most pitiful, I heard that he is a famous talent in the capital, marrying the prince will ruin his future, but the prince is still separated from him. sleep……"

"No, I must be thinking... hey, if it weren't for the fact that the princess is pitiful."

"What are you talking about here? You dare to talk nonsense about the prince and princess. Don't you want your head? Work, work!"

Wei Ruojin didn't know that everyone in the kitchen was sympathizing with him, so he opened the curtain of the tent, and put the stove at the door; the ingredients he took included mutton, vegetables, dogwood, and some garlic.

He didn't expect to find garlic here, and without raising his head, he said, "Xin Yi, when you go back with the prince tomorrow, plant some garlic in front of my yard."

"garlic?"

Only then did Wei Ruojin straighten up and show it to Xin Yi, "That's it, forget it, I'll grow it myself when I go back."

"Forgive me, my lord. The servant girl has never seen this before. When I go back, I will definitely find some more." Xin Yi didn't expect that Wei Ruojin would actually take out something she didn't recognize.

"Not common?" Wei Ruojin didn't expect the things in the kitchen to be uncommon.

"Yes."

"Okay, that, help me knead the dough." Since Wei Ruojin got the stone mill, there is no shortage of flour in the palace, and there is always flour.

Xin Yi washed his hands, rolled up his sleeves and started kneading noodles, while Wei Ruojin diced the mutton and minced vegetables.Thinking of when Xin Yi said that she didn't know garlic just now, she only broke half of it, cut it flat and minced it, and added a small bowl of warm water to soak it.

Because there is no iron pan, Wei Ruojin can only use a casserole, but it is also very easy to use, add lard to boil, fry the cornus officinalis, remove the cornel that is no longer needed, pour in the mutton and stir-fry, the aroma will soon come out come out.

Xin Yi sniffed fiercely, and couldn't help but ask, "Master, why do you make it so delicious?"

"Is it delicious? It will be even more delicious when you eat it later." Wei Ruojin smiled. Although he is busy, his cooking skills are not bad, and it will only be better now, but there are too few seasonings.

When the mutton is almost done, pour in the half bowl of garlic water, close the mouth of the stove, and let it simmer on low heat.When Xin Yi reconciled with the noodles, he took over the hands, and the hand-rolled noodles were cut quickly.

"Okay, hurry up and invite the prince over for dinner." Wei Ruojin put on another clay pot and boiled water.

When Lin Heng came over, the water was already boiling, Wei Ruojin smiled at him and said, "Go and sit inside, it will be fine soon."

Lin Heng's eyes became deeper. He had never seen Wei Ruojin who was full of smoke and fire. There was steam gurgling in the pot, and there was a very strong fragrance, which he had never smelled.

As soon as he entered the tent and sat down, Wei Ruojin came in with two bowls of noodles, the big one was for Lin Heng, and the small one was for himself, "Xin Yi, come in for noodles."

Wei Ruojin poured the mutton soup in the pot on Lin Heng's face, then herself, and then Xin Yi's bowl.

Xin Yi was very surprised that she also had a share.

"How dare the servant girl..."

"Your, eat quickly, it won't taste good if you don't eat it for a while." Wei Ruojin interrupted her, pushing the noodles in her direction.

Xin Yi quickly bowed down with the bowl in hand.

Lin Heng followed his example and mixed the noodles, the taste was salty and fragrant, the noodles gritted his teeth, and then the mouthful was fresh and spicy.It was completely different from the noodles he had eaten before.

Wei Ruojin looked at him eating deliciously, and there was a smile on his face; Lin Heng had the perfect dining etiquette of aristocrats, but he was very fast. The portion was twice as much as Wei Ruojin, but he finished it first.

"Is it tasty?"

Lin Heng wiped his mouth and nodded.

"This is what the common people pursue all their lives, to be full and to eat well." Wei Ruojin thought about it for a while, and felt that it was not very good. It was too much like Lao Tzu training his son, and he wanted to turn this man into a pro-Lao Gong.

"I think so too, so I need the prince's help." Wei Ruojin stared at Lin Heng seriously, "No matter what I do, the prince will help me."

Lin Heng swallowed, "Yes."

The two of them didn't speak for a while, and the tent seemed a little too quiet. It wasn't until Xin Yi came in to bring the two of them water to rinse their mouths that the tent seemed less quiet.

"You said before, those who raise horses and cattle..." Lin Heng wanted war horses, and Dachang's war horses couldn't outrun Ranjue's horses at all, and their endurance and leg strength were not comparable, but such horses were rare in Dachang.

"If Ranjue and Dachang are like the... gathering place we saw today, maybe it can be realized." Wei Ruojin sighed, "It just takes a lot of effort."

Lin Heng turned the cup in his hand, but did not speak. Although the emperor said that the northwest belongs to him, as long as he does not stand on his own as the emperor, he would openly oppose Dachang; I'm afraid they won't keep him.

"Let's talk about this matter later. After working hard for a day, it's better to rest earlier." Lin Heng took the initiative to end the topic and got out of the tent.

Wei Ruojin looked at him, didn't know what to say for a while, and could only let him leave alone, but quickly analyzed the current situation in Dachang in his mind.

He slapped his head, and it turned out that he thought things too simply; subconsciously, he thought that since the system said that the Northwest belonged to them, it belonged to them; but did the monarch of Dachang really think so?

His slender and clear fingers lightly tapped on the desk. Today, His Majesty Lin Guang has five sons, and only three survived. Lin Heng is the one who is the least favored. It is thanks to his two elder brothers that he can come to the Northwest. 'Help', or it's time to 'die in battle'.

"Hey!" Wei Ruojin felt that he might lose his hair. He hadn't thought about the things in the capital before, but now it seemed that he had to pay attention to it, and even had to prepare for the worst.

"It is still necessary to plant food as soon as possible."

At daybreak, the prisoners were brought out, most of them stood lazily, and a few of them bowed their heads obediently.Then someone brought out a bucket of breakfast food, and the smell of the food was carried into the crowd by the breeze, and everyone's eyes became eager.

Soon, everyone was given a bowl of millet porridge that was dry enough to stand up with chopsticks. It was impossible for them to eat like this for many years.

"Work hard. Although it may not be enough to eat, it is better than staying in a cell. As long as you work honestly, you may be given a field when your sentence is over. Of course, it depends on me." Mood." Wei Ruojin waited for the prisoners to finish their meal before standing up.

"But if you steal and play tricks, everyone will be responsible for the consequences."

He didn't care if these people understood or not, the words had already been said anyway, if he couldn't do well, he could only replace them, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to complete the task given by the system within three days.

He must get the 100 points.

The prisoners went to work quickly, and Hu Qi pointed out the lazy people one by one by his side. Wei Ruojin looked over and found that they were all men with stronger bodies and fierce faces.

It seems to be some thorns.

"Let them dig the pond. Their lunch will be gone. If they are still lazy in the afternoon, their dinner will be gone. When will they learn how to be good and when will they eat?" The food is scarce now, so he must hurry up Workers.

Probably because of Wei Ruojin's words, the prisoners worked much harder, and most of them were just ordinary people, as long as they had land, they could settle down, who wouldn't want to.

Wei Ruojin is also very satisfied with the current speed. At this speed, the task can really be completed before the time is up.

He picked a piece of land closest to the pond. The land was not too big, but an elderly man was holding the plow, and the two younger boys in front were pulling it. Wei Ruojin noticed that they seemed to be working harder yesterday.

"Old man, we need to dig a few more deep trenches in the field, can we raise the ridge?"

"Yes, yes, let's do it, little one."

Seeing the old man's terrified expression, Wei Ruojin had no choice but to step back and live in the palace all the time, having too little contact with these ordinary civilians, forgetting that now is a world with distinct classes.

"Let's go, there are so many wastelands here, do you still want to stay here and watch?" Lin Heng really didn't understand why Wei Ruojin came here in person.

"Where are you going?"

"Go back to the camp first, pack up and go back to the palace."

"In a few days." Wei Ruojin looked at Lin Heng's serious expression, and couldn't help but want to tease him. She was very close to him, and said softly, "Didn't I say I want to plant corn, of course after planting it." Go back."

It was too close, and at this distance, Lin Heng's heart began to beat violently again, he didn't pay any attention to what he said, and could only nod passively.
