Chapter 488 How fragrant it is
Shen Huazheng smiled and put the duck meat into her mouth with chopsticks.
In fact, you don’t have to wait until you return to the capital to make delicious food with lard.
[The pork net oil lamb tongue skewers are also very fragrant. While I am still in the northwest, I will find time to make them for Aning and cousin Ying to taste. ]
Princess Lejia, who was holding a wine glass:!!!
She swallowed the lamb wine in her mouth, glad that she didn't spit it out because she was too excited.
Pig net fat and sheep tongue skewers, it sounds like a delicacy made with pig net fat and sheep tongue.
Is it also fried in oil like the liver flower? ?
But speaking of it, lamb tongue is quite delicious.
It would probably taste better if cooked with lard.
Zheng Zheng is so nice. She always thinks of preparing surprises for them with food.
Zhou Ying also heard what Shen Huazheng said in her heart, but she was not as excited as Princess Lejia.
Although she was about to return to the capital, Zhou Ying always had a bad feeling that something big was about to happen.
She picked up the glass and took a sip of wine.
Now is a critical moment, I hope everything goes well.
Zheng'er was able to successfully complete the task assigned to her by His Majesty, and they were able to return to the capital on the scheduled date.
I hope nothing unexpected happens.

In the darkness of night, a man came to an abandoned temple.
The temple was dilapidated, with weeds growing in front of the gate, as if no one had been here for a long time.
A gust of night wind blew, and there was a very faint smell of blood in the air, and an eerie and terrifying feeling was everywhere.
The man was not afraid at all. He looked around and then entered the temple.
At the same time, two men in black hiding in the dark also followed quietly.
The temple was pitch black, with only a faint light burning in the incense burner in front of the abandoned statue and smoke curling around it.
The man walked forward and seemed to touch something, and the statue suddenly moved.
Who would have thought that there was a dark room in this abandoned temple.
The man entered the dark room and said, "Sir, everything has been done."
The middle-aged man sitting on the chair nodded slightly: "If you can bring the person back this time, the master will definitely reward you handsomely."
The man bowed his head and said respectfully: "I understand!"
The middle-aged man smiled with satisfaction: "Go ahead, be careful and don't alert the enemy."
"Yes, sir."
The man took the order and left.
Following a series of tiny noises, two people dressed as servants carried an unconscious young man into the hall and laid him on the ground.
The middle-aged man looked at the man's departing figure, then looked at the servant beside him.
"What's going on?"
The attendant whispered, "My lord, this batch of medicine seems to be more potent than the previous ones. He has fallen into a coma and I don't know when he will wake up."
The middle-aged man looked at the young man with his eyes closed and sneered a few times.
"Don't worry about it, just keep testing the medicine. As long as the time is right, all the people here will obey our orders. No matter how powerful a country is, it will collapse in an instant if there is chaos inside."
"The day the city is captured is the day for you and me to make achievements."
The two men in black on the roof exchanged glances, then disappeared into the darkness in a flash.
A gust of night wind blew by, and the incense in the incense burner was burned out, leaving only the end shallowly inserted in the burner.
It was like the conspiracy hidden in the darkness, gradually emerging before the public.

General Xie listened to the visitor's report with a gloomy expression.
What he had always worried about finally came true.
From the initial attack on the post station, to the discovery of strange things in Pingyu Town, and then to similar incidents in Yuzhang County.
It turns out that all of them are heading for the northwest border.
Ning Yu, who was sitting next to him, also had a grim expression on his face. It turned out that all the missing people were brought here.
Those people actually used drugs to control innocent people and make them lose their minds.
The attempt was to turn them into mindless puppets in order to cause unrest on the Northwest Frontier.
If they are unaware, they will just let the situation develop.
Maybe when an attack comes from outside, the people of the entire border will become accomplices under the control of drugs.
By then, we will combine internal and external forces to catch the Northwest off guard.
No matter how brave the Northwest Army was, it would be helpless in this situation.
General Xie looked at Ning Yu: "What do you think?"
Ning Yu pondered for a moment and said, "To catch a thief, we must first catch the leader. It is useless to catch those minions. We must catch the real mastermind behind the scenes."
General Xie: "I'm afraid it's not that easy."
They now all know who is behind this, but unfortunately the evidence is not enough so they cannot take direct action.
Ning Yu picked up the teacup and gently blew on the tea leaves floating on it.
"The bait has appeared, are you still worried that you won't be able to catch a big fish?"
A fierce look flashed across General Xie's eyes: "If you dare to attack my Daliang, you will pay the price."

With the joint efforts of the people from the Ministry of Industry and the craftsmen, the first drip irrigation circulation device in Northwest China was finally built.
A group of officials stood at the edge of the field and watched with their own eyes the tiny drops of water flow through the pipes into the fields, nourishing every inch of soil.
Although they had been amazed by Shen Huazheng's three-dimensional cultivation "model" before, they couldn't help but marvel at this large drip irrigation circulation system.
"Excellent, truly excellent. If this method can be promoted in the northwest, it will solve the food problem."
Prefect Lin was not an official who did not understand the suffering of the people. On the contrary, he was well aware of the hardships of the people in the northwest.
Farming has always been a job that depends on the weather. Even other places have the saying of good and bad harvests, let alone the northwest which has always been dry and rainy.
In the past, crops always grew slowly or withered early due to lack of water, making it difficult for the crops to survive.
With the water reservoir and drip irrigation circulation device, he will no longer have to lose sleep over poor harvests.
No longer will we have to see farmers looking at cracked land with sad faces.
In the past, the wheat grown here was enough to feed people, but who would have thought that one day we would be able to grow more vegetables from these lands.
Ruan's animal husbandry is already well developed. If agriculture can also develop well, the future will be limitless.
Magistrate Li was even more excited, with tears in his eyes: "I really don't know how to thank you all."
Since arriving in Yuzhang County, Lord Shen and several other lords have not only not put on airs, but have taken everything to heart.
They are also meticulous in what they do, striving to do their best in almost every detail without any carelessness or perfunctoriness.
In addition to using these sophisticated devices to help them use water resources more efficiently, Lord Shen and the adults in Sinong Temple also taught them many methods of growing potatoes and vegetables.
Chen Huazheng: (●''●)
Is this a bit too much exaggeration?
Besides, these people looked like they were about to cry, so there was no need to get so excited.
A group of Beijing officials: \^o^/
After so many days of hard work, it’s finally over.
After finishing the finishing work, you can return to the capital.
I don't know if there will be any reward after completing this task? ?
Xiangyang saw the reactions of Prefect Lin and others, and felt very happy.
I wonder if Lord Lin will have someone prepare some delicious food to reward them? ?
The mutton feast last time was very good and he liked every dish.
Or maybe I could get some delicious food from Lord Shen?
Just thinking about this, I feel like I'm starting to feel a little hungry.
Forget it, let’s not think about it for now.
It would be embarrassing if my stomach growled with hunger in front of so many people, especially my superiors.
"It is a blessing for Daliang and the people to have such a talent as Lord Shen."
A group of agricultural officials were also moved by the fact that Shen Huazheng and others shared their knowledge without keeping anything to themselves.
In addition to teaching these northwestern officials various farming techniques, people from the Sinong Temple also personally demonstrated to farmers in the fields, telling the people how to achieve multiple uses of land.
Guide farmers to practice crop rotation, so that different crops can be planted on the same land in different seasons, and avoid soil fatigue caused by single farming.
Although His Majesty asked these adults to come to the northwest to assist them in potato planting, they are too honest.
Things like three-dimensional cultivation, crop rotation, and efficient use of water resources are all taught clearly.
This is simply taking out all the hidden skills.
Facing the "praise" mode of a group of Northwestern officials, Shen Huazheng said modestly: "Thank you for the praise, my Lords. This is just the beginning. Your efforts in the future are the most important."
They will only stay here for a while, and then go back after completing the preliminary work.
How it will develop in the future and what it will become depends entirely on the people here.

Chen Huazheng looked at everyone and added:
"In fact, even if the land in Ru'an is not fertile enough, its fate can be completely changed through reasonable planting and management."
Hearing this, Prefect Lin and others couldn't help but feel excited, as if they had seen Ru'an which had become an oasis.
"Don't worry, Master Shen. We will never let you down."
They will definitely redouble their efforts to make this barren land in the Northwest a new one as soon as possible.
Cartloads of fresh vegetables were sent to the market, and people gathered around a stall, talking about them.
“These dishes look quite fresh.”
"The lettuce looks good, and the spinach is good too."
"I bought spinach here yesterday. It was fresh and delicious."
“The lettuce is also very sweet.”
"Then I'll buy some too."
The stall owner said proudly: "Our vegetable plot was selected by Lord Shen from the capital as a trial planting site. We use the three-dimensional cultivation method proposed by Lord Shen. The vegetables grow faster and more, and the taste is better than before."
Someone curiously asked: "What is stereoculture?"
Before the stall owner could speak, someone in the crowd laughed and said, "You don't know this? It was all over our place at that time. Lord Shen came up with a way to fold the land. The same piece of land can grow several times more food and fruits and vegetables."
