Anti-theft: Refresh after 12 o'clock

The residents of Alicante worked very hard. They were all motivated and did a great job for that bag of beans.

When Jiang Jin appeared beside the ridge of the field, Brook, who had already received the news, hurried over to greet her.

He was wearing a veil that covered his mouth and nose, and was a little surprised to see Jiang Jin. "Oh my God, Lord City Lord, the stench here is unbearable. How can you, of your status, stand with these slaves? It's really beneath your dignity."

Before Jiang Jin could even open her mouth to speak, Brooke started to lecture her.

During the two days that Jiang Jin was here, he had roughly figured out Brook's character. He thought this place was dirty and filthy, and that Jiang Jin was losing face by coming here.

"Brooke." Seeing that he wanted to say more, Jiang Jin spoke directly to stop him from saying the next word.

Does she, as the city lord, need the approval of the Knight Commander Brook for anything she does?

Jiang Jin glanced at him meaningfully, as if giving him a warning.

Brooke understood Jiang Jin's meaning, and his face instantly turned ugly. Even the hands hanging by his side were clenched into fists in anger.

He stared coldly at Jiang Jin's back, and unexpectedly met the eyes of Yager who was carrying the little guy. Yager shook his head at him, which made Brook calm down a little.

The little guy who was staying in the basket obediently tilted his head to look at Yager, with confusion in his big eyes.

Jiang Jin had used magic to block her sense of smell before coming here, but even so, she could still smell the overwhelming stench coming towards her.

The fields were mostly filled with children and elderly people. They bent over and worked barefoot in the fields. Because they had no suitable tools, they used their hands and legs to mix the soil and river mud together over and over again.

Even though the weather was cold, they were so happy that their teeth were showing but their mouths were not.

"This speed is beyond my expectations."

Jiang Jin smiled and nodded to several residents who bowed to her respectfully.

"I thought some of them would be lazy, so I set the time limit at five to seven days. I didn't expect that they would move so quickly." Thinking of this, Jiang Jin smiled and waved to several residents in the fields.

The carriage came and went quickly, and the children who saw Jiang Jin's appearance were all very excited.

"Hey, just like Brandon said, our new city lord is like a god." The children said this to their father when they returned home.

"She even waved at us! She even smiled at us! Oh my God of Light, I swear, the City Lord is radiating a holy light. She might have been sent by the God of Light to rescue us!"

Of course, Jiang Jin didn't know all this. She was currently in the office on the fourth floor of the main building of the City Lord's Mansion, looking through the historical written records of the city of Alicante.

Most of the records above were very brief, and Jiang Jin finished reading them in a few seconds. She turned her head to look at the three rows of books in the corner of the room and thought for a long time.

"Now that we've arrived in this world, we should at least get to know a little bit about it first, so we don't end up navigating it in the dark."

Jiang Jin decided to take some time to read all the books here. When she was standing in front of the bookcase and preparing to take the second book, Bella came in with lunch.

"City Lord, this is, dinner." Bella spoke haltingly, and her cheeks turned red before she finished speaking.

She lowered her head and took out the food from the plates and placed them on the small round table in the living room of Jiang Jin's office.

"Thank you, dear Bella." Jiang Jin saw the slightly worn book on the bookshelf at a glance. After taking it down, she saw the title of the book was two crooked big characters, "Edible".

Jiang Jin was attracted by the title of the book and simply took it to the round table.

The next day's dinner was porridge and two side dishes.

This was something Jiang Jin had concocted based on the grain in the warehouse and several plants similar to those on Earth. The taste and texture were very similar. Only after she taught the cooking method to the cook did she have a meal for the next day.

"Where's the little one?" Jiang Jin asked after taking a bite of the porridge with some side dishes.

"The young master ate three pieces of meat and chewed two big sticks. Now, he is playing with Daisy."

Bella spoke in halting sentences. This was a little trick Jiang Jin taught her. If she stuttered when speaking long sentences but not short sentences, she should speak slowly, two words at a time.

"You have such a big appetite." Jiang Jin smiled. Ever since she discovered that the meat in this world was not harmful to the little guy and he even liked it very much, Jiang Jin reduced the output of chicken thighs in her warehouse and instead asked the kitchen to cook more meat for him to chew.

But the little guy has been eating a lot recently and seems to have gained a lot of weight.

Jiang Jin was in a bit of a dilemma. She had just held the little guy recently, and her arms were sore within ten minutes. He had indeed gained a lot of weight. In another ten days or half a month, she probably wouldn't be able to hold him anymore.

While thinking, Jiang Jin opened the tattered book in her hand.

Calling it a book is an overstatement. This "Edible" is just a booklet connected by thick lines.

The paper was yellow and rough, and the words on it were messy, making it impossible to make out what the author had written. Instead, there were many vivid pictures of plants drawn on it.

"Hiss, what is written here?" Jiang Jin put the book aside with a headache.

Bella happened to be looking down, and she just saw this book at a glance. She didn't expect Jiang Jin to read this kind of book, and was a little surprised. "City Lord, sir, are you also studying this kind of thing?"

"Hmm?" Jiang Jin took a bite of food and turned to look at her. "Why do you ask that?"

"I thought that only Old Tu would study this kind of thing." Bella scratched her head and smiled a little foolishly.

"Old Tu?" Jiang Jin quickly found the key point in Bella's words.

"Yes, that's right." Bella nodded and pointed at the book "Edible" and said, "This, this book, was written by Old Tutou, Dangge."

Bella's words immediately aroused Jiang Jin's interest in this old man. If Bella were to explain, it would probably take a long time. Jiang Jin finished her lunch in a few bites and took Bella downstairs to find the little guy.

Daisy is playing with toys with the little one.

It looked like an educational toy, because Daisy had to fiddle with it several times before it was set right.

The knot fell into the little guy's hands and he broke it into two pieces with a snap.

When the little guy saw the thing was broken, he pouted and ran away to play somewhere else with his butt sticking out, leaving Daisy standing there in shock.

The first time she saw Jiang Jin, Daisy quickly pointed at the debris on the ground and reported to Jiang Jin in a trembling voice, "Lord City Lord, the young master he, he he."

Well, Daisy, who didn't stutter originally, was frightened by the little guy and started to stutter.

Jiang Jin coughed, took out the torn booklet, and quickly changed the subject, "Daisy, do you know Old Tutou?"
