Infrastructure: I Raise Little Ones in Great Qin

As a handicraft blogger, Chu Yuening originally thought she would live a plain and ordinary life. Unexpectedly, a moment of kindness caused her to transmigrate to the Great Qin Dynasty over two tho...

Chapter 13 That bowl of soul-stirring knife-cut noodles

"Master Chu, how do you eat this sweet potato?"

Lord Luo was a little surprised when he saw such a huge amount of food for the first time.

Each one weighs about one or two kilograms, so it is not an exaggeration to say that the yield per mu can reach 1,000 kilograms.

By this time, Ying Zheng had already withdrawn his hand. Chu Yuening cleared her cough awkwardly and hurriedly explained.

"It can be simply steamed and eaten without the skin, or mixed with corn."

Sweet potatoes are indeed delicious, but eating too much can cause heartburn.

It is better to make it into sweet potato rice or sweet potato porridge, which also enriches people's diet.

As for other more complicated methods such as sweet potato flour, sweet potato chips, etc., they are too luxurious.

Let’s wait until the people have filled their stomachs.

Lord Luo did not suggest trying one.

After all, this is a precious seedling, and even His Majesty has not tasted it yet.

The three of them talked about some arrangements for sweet potato planting. After the seedlings emerge, they will be transported to the public fields outside the city for planting.

Chu Yuening suddenly remembered something very important, so she made a request to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, could you lend me a craftsman? I want to make a tool."

"What is it? What is it used for?"

"This is a stone mill. It can grind wheat into flour, which can be made into delicious meals and can be stored longer."

As the most noble person in the world, Ying Zheng naturally lived a life of luxury.

But when he was young and wandering in Zhao State, he also ate rough and inedible wheat rice.

If this device called a stone mill is really so magical, wheat may be able to be grown on a large scale in the future.

The lower class people can also eat better.

So he immediately ordered Zhao Gao to find a skilled craftsman.

By the time Chu Yuening had communicated the requirements and drawings for making the stone mill with the craftsmen, it was already noon.

The two of them stopped disturbing Ying Zheng from handling government affairs and both took their leave.

On the way home by car, I happened to pass by the market.

Chu Yuening asked the driver to stop as she planned to go to the market to buy something.

But Chu Yuening forgot that she was still wearing official uniform, which made her very eye-catching among the people in coarse linen clothes.

She stared at the people's astonished eyes, hurriedly asked a blacksmith to make a custom iron pot and spatula, bought some vegetables and meat, and then hurried back to the carriage.

Next time, let Aye and Ahua run errands. They are too scary...

Seeing her official uniform and carriage, the blacksmiths and vendors didn't dare to accept any money, so she had to force it into their pockets.

As soon as Chu Yuening left, the originally silent market suddenly became noisy, like a frying pan into which water was dropped.

"Who is this official? Why is she a woman?"

"Don't all those officials live in the inner city?"

"Why does this woman look familiar to me..."

“…”

Chu Yuening was completely unaware of the uproar she had caused in the market.

At this time, she was preparing lunch, and her brother and sister were helping her.

She made a simple bowl of vegetable, shredded pork and egg drop soup, divided it into two portions, and the three of them enjoyed it in their rooms.

After eating with Chu Yuening these days, A Ye and A Hua gradually got used to three meals a day.

In the afternoon, the big tree in the yard cast a green shade, and Chu Yuening announced the news of moving.

The outer city where we live now is too far away from the imperial palace.

Although she didn't have to go to court in the morning, she still had to observe the emergence of sweet potato seedlings every day.

Therefore, it is more convenient to move to the inner city.

However, she didn't hear the expected cheers. Chu Yuening looked at the two people with disappointed and reluctant faces and asked with concern.

"What's the matter? Don't you want to live in the inner city?"

"That's the mansion His Majesty bestowed upon me."

"Sister, we just don't want to leave this place..."

A Ye and A Hua recalled the warm scene when their elder sister first brought them into this home.

I cleaned their hair, cooked delicious meals for them, and taught them to read and write...

This place not only provides a place for the brother and sister to stay, but also carries all the beautiful memories.

"Sister will always be with you."

Chu Yuening comforted softly.

She knew that although she had not lived here for a long time, everyone had a nestling complex and always had special feelings for the first one.

After comforting each other, the three of them cheered up and started packing their things in big and small bags.

In fact, Chu Yuening didn’t have much, just some clothes, belongings and daily necessities.

As for the brother and sister, they only need to pack their personal belongings.

But they also packed up some kitchen utensils.

Chu Yuening was a little amused and helpless.

These two kids are pretty frugal.

It was not until she arrived at her new home that she realized how big the house was.

There are six or seven rooms alone, and the huge yard is covered with flowers, plants and trees. The interior decoration of the rooms is obviously more exquisite and gorgeous, and some furniture is also very complete.

Next, the three of them began to pack their things, and the driver came over to help.

Now that there is an extra room, Chu Yuening let him stay here so that it will be convenient for her to travel later.

The next morning.

After Chu Yuening arrived at the palace, she went straight to the imperial garden. When she saw the sprouts on the sweet potatoes, she was immediately surprised.

She didn't expect that the soul-nourishing liquid in the system mall was so effective and it took effect the next day.

However, she was not in a hurry to report it, as the First Emperor was probably very busy.

She just needs to report the interim results regularly.

Ying Zheng also gave Chu Yuening the right to walk freely in the palace.

Of course, there will definitely be Black Ice Guards monitoring us secretly.

Chu Yuening asked Zhao Gao again whether the stone mill was ready. After getting an affirmative answer, she saw a stone mill that was almost the same as the modern ones.
