The residents of Aquinoa worked very hard. For that bag of beans, everyone was full of fighting spirit and did a great job.
When Jiang Jin appeared beside the ridge of the field, Brook, who had already received the news, hurried over to greet her.
He wore a veil that covered his mouth and nose. "Oh my God of Light, Lord City Lord, the stench here is unbearable. How can you, of your status, stand with this group of slaves? It's truly beneath your dignity."
Before Jiang Jin could even open her mouth to speak, Brooke started to lecture her.
Fortunately, Jiang Jin has roughly figured out Brook's character in the past two days. He thinks this place is dirty and filthy, and it would be a loss of face for Jiang Jin to come 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 he does?
Jiang Jin glanced at him meaningfully, as if giving him a warning.
Brooke understood what Jiang Jin meant, 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, his big eyes full of confusion.
Jiang Jin had used magic to block her sense of smell before she came, but even so, she could still feel the stench coming towards her.
Most of the people working in the fields are children and elderly people. They walk around in the fields with their backs bent and their feet treading. Because they have no suitable tools, they use their hands and legs to mix the soil and river mud together over and over again. Even though the weather is cold now, they are happy to do it.
"This speed is beyond my expectation." 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 to five to seven days. I really didn't expect that they would move so quickly." Thinking of this, Jiang Jin smiled and waved to the residents who were working in the fields.
The carriage came quickly and left quickly. The children who looked like Jiang Jin were all very excited.
"Sure enough, just like Brandon said, our new city lord is a god-like person." The children told their father this 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 written records of the city of Akhunkant over the years.
Most of the records were very brief, and Jiang Jin quickly flipped through them. She turned her head to glance at the three rows of books in the corner of the room and pondered for a long time. "Since I've already entered this world, I should at least understand the general situation of it first, so as not to be completely in the dark."
Jiang Jin made up her mind 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 walked in with lunch.
"Lord, Lord Mayor, this is, dinner." Bella spoke haltingly, and her cheeks turned red before she finished. She lowered her head and took out the food on the plate and placed it on the small round table in the living room of Jiang Jin's office.
"Okay, thank you, dear Bella." Jiang Jin took a look at the slightly worn book on the bookshelf, took it down, and saw that 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 and put it on the round table.
Today's dinner is white porridge and two side dishes.
This was something Jiang Jin had concocted based on the food in the warehouse and several foods in this world that were similar to those on Earth in the 21st century. The taste and texture were very similar. After she taught the cooking method to the cook, today's meal was created.
"Where's the little one?" Jiang Jin asked after scooping a spoonful of white porridge with some side dishes and taking a bite.
"The little one 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, then she should speak slowly, two words at a time.
"You have such a good 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 legs 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 only been holding the baby for less than ten minutes when her arms started to ache. 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 "Edibles" is just a booklet strung together with thick lines. The paper is yellowed and rough, and the words on it are so messy that it is impossible to make out what is written. However, there are many lifelike pictures of plants on it.
"Hiss, what is written here?" Jiang Jin put the book aside with a headache.
Bella happened to be looking down, glancing at the book Jiang Jin was reading. She hadn't expected 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 her food and tilted her head 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 what Bella said.
"Yes, that's right." Bella nodded and pointed at the book "Edible" and said, "This, this book, was written by Old Tutou back then."
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 look for the little guy.
Daisy is playing with toys with the little one.
It looked like an educational toy, because Daisy took several tries to set it up successfully.
As a result, it fell into the little guy's hands and was broken into two pieces with a snap.
When the little guy saw the thing was broken, he pouted, then 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 little boy he, he he."
Well, Daisy, who didn't stutter originally, was scared by the little guy and started stuttering.
Jiang Jin coughed, took out the torn booklet, and quickly changed the subject, "Daisy, do you know Old Tutou?"
