Princess Kong Lingyun of Zhou looked calm after getting off the wooden bicycle, and even had time to adjust the hairpin on the handrail.
But his younger brother, the Sixth Prince Kong Zhang, seemed very uncomfortable.
First support the waist, then beat the legs.
If there weren't outsiders around, I would probably have started rubbing my gluteus maximus.
Seeing this, Kong Lingyun took two quick steps to catch up with her brother and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Kong Zhang gave her a particularly depressed look: "It's so dizzy and painful. How come this is different from the immortal's?"
Princess Lingyun did not answer, but just looked up at the sky silently, thinking to herself, it is naturally different.
The frame of the immortal's bicycle is not only made of a unique and elastic wheel material, but the seat is also made of a very different material and feels extremely soft.
It's nothing like this thing, it's so hard.
But when Kong Zhang was first made, I was extremely excited. I tried stepping on it a few times and felt that it was fine, so I wanted to carry it with me.
The road was mostly mountainous, and the guards carried him, so he didn't have time to test drive it.
As soon as he saw the flat road in the woods, he couldn't help himself and insisted on riding it for fun. Now he has been taught a lesson.
Just to prevent her brother from being too upset, Kong Lingyun consoled him, "Everything is difficult at the beginning. It's already good that you can do this for the first time. When you return to the palace, give it to your father. He will surely like it."
Kong Zhang looked at Kong Lingyun with some guilt: "It's just hard for you, sister, to suffer with me."
Kong Lingyun smiled and shook her head, reaching out to gently stroke his back, her voice very gentle and tolerant: "It's okay, as long as Sixth Brother is happy."
These words made the Sixth Young Master feel even more guilty. He used to argue with every word his sister said, but now he just nodded obediently, appearing particularly honest.
Kong Lingyun walked forward with him, only glancing to the side.
Kong Zhang was curious: "What are you looking at, sister?"
Kong Lingyun smiled and replied, "Look at these guards from Dechang County. They've worked really hard accompanying us all the way, especially carrying two carts. I'll mention this to the county governor when I get back and give him plenty of praise."
Moreover, just when Kong Zhang was riding this hard carriage with great effort, Kong Lingyun was just sitting lightly in the back, and her carriage was carried by two guards.
So at this moment, Kong Zhang's butt was hurting from the shock, but Kong Lingyun felt relaxed.
But there is no need to tell this to my sixth brother.
Princess Lingyun smiled and led him towards the team in front.
Among the people in Langyun, the first person they recognized was Peng Lang, who had spent quite a while in Dechang County.
Kong Lingyun smiled and said, "Peng Xianjun, long time no see."
Peng Lang was a little surprised: "You didn't return to the palace?"
It has been about a month since the people from the Agricultural College returned to Langyun. Dechang County, which had previously suffered from floods and epidemics, has long since returned to peace. Logically speaking, the purpose of the two princes and princesses coming to inspect has been achieved.
I didn't expect you to still be here.
After hearing this, Kong Lingyun looked at her sixth brother helplessly, thinking, why doesn't he want to go back? She wants to go back to the palace every day!
Even though Dechang County treated them as honored guests, and even though they could eat the fairy potatoes from the fairyland in the county town, for Kong Lingyun, it was still not as good as the life of being carefully served in the capital.
She came here just to see something new, but now that she has seen enough new things, of course she wants to go back to the capital.
As a princess of a country, wouldn’t it be a waste if she didn’t have fine clothes and delicious food?
But Kong Zhang refused to leave no matter what.
The Sixth Young Master, who had previously claimed that he was following the orders of King Zhou to keep an eye on Kong Lingyun, now couldn't hold on any longer, fearing that he would never be able to leave the palace after returning.
Of course, Kong Lingyun didn't know yet that her brother's behavior was called the "True Fragrance Law." She wasn't ready to tell the immortal the inside story, so she just smiled and said, "We are here to pay homage to the immortal realm at the behest of our father."
Lang Yun never refuses to contact these indigenous people who come from places marked as friendly on the system map.
After all, indigenous people = mission = points.
Who would complain about having few points?
So Peng Lang quickly nodded and said, "Okay, let's go together."
The pole that had just been blocking the road was slowly raised again, demonstrating the automatic pole-raising method to the fullest.
They headed towards Langyun together.
The Niu brothers were naturally among them.
Compared to the excitement he felt when he just climbed the mountain, Niu Da only felt nervous and his palms began to sweat.
After all, they are a prince and a princess, they are the royal family!
In the past twenty years, the highest-ranking official Niu Da had ever met was his father Niu Cunzheng. Later, Niu Jiacun was favored by an immortal, who allowed him to meet the chief clerk and the county magistrate.
When he saw the county magistrate, he almost fell to the ground.
As a result, now I have made a triple jump and the living royal relatives are right within reach.
What if this is offensive?
So when Niu Er excitedly pulled his brother and wanted to talk about the magical ETC, Niu Da covered his mouth directly.
He blinked in confusion.
Then I heard Niu Dadao say, "Don't talk nonsense. If the noble man hears us, will we still be alive?"
Niu Er was bewildered. "But I think the two princes are quite kind. The county governor also said before that our king is the most reasonable."
Niu Dabian stared at him and whispered, "How is that the same? Our father is reasonable, but doesn't he beat you with his cane whenever he has nothing to do?"
Niu Er didn’t know what the King of Zhou looked like.
But he knew how painful it was when his own father hit someone.
So, his expression, which had been nonchalant just now, suddenly became serious, his back straightened, his eyes did not look around, and he said nothing.
On the other side, Kong Lingyun was talking with the people from Langyun, especially Chai Kexin, and they soon reached an agreement.
You compliment my hairstyle and I compliment your clothes. Girls can quickly establish topics of conversation even across time and space, and we get along very harmoniously.
But compared to Princess Lingyun's dancing and graceful manner, Kong Zhang seemed much quieter and had no intention of interrupting.
In the Zhou Dynasty, especially in the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty, princesses had a very high status, sometimes even more important than princes.
Kong Lingyun was the only child of the late queen, so Kong Zhang naturally would not steal her limelight.
There is no time to grab it.
At this moment, the Sixth Young Master felt that his eyes were not enough, and his head was like a rattle, looking back and forth non-stop.
Especially when he saw the outer wall of Langyun University, he was stunned by the fountain he saw through the open gate. He raised his hand and pointed, "Sister, sister, look! There's water spraying there!"
But Kong Lingyun held his hand and said, "Calm down."
Kong Zhang was puzzled: "Why is this?"
He clearly felt that his sister's eyes were also filled with surprise.
Then, Kong Lingyun said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "The people over there are still calm. If you lose your composure, won't you lose face?"
Kong Zhang blinked and turned to look at the villagers not far away.
I found that the leading Niu brothers had no expression on their faces and seemed very calm.
Kong Lingyun continued, "And look at those people wearing long robes nearby. They are obviously students from Qi who are studying in Langyun. I guess Fu Yun is here too. You and I certainly can't lose face for our Great Zhou in front of them."
So Kong Zhang quickly controlled his expression, put on the demeanor of a prince, and walked into the gate with a solemn expression.
This surprised Chai Kexin very much.
She couldn't help but turn her head and ask, "Are all Zhou people so serious?"
Peng Lang also looked puzzled.
Just then, they saw someone rushing towards them.
It soon became clear that the person who came was Lin Meng, who was majoring in cooking and health. He was also the person in charge of the fourth cafeteria of Langyun University.
Anyone who passed by her, whether they were students from Langyun or students from Qi State who were watching, would greet Lin Meng with a smile.
Peng Lang couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect her to be so popular."
Chai Kexin said calmly: "That's how it should be."
"Why?"
“At any time, you must have a good relationship with the chef, because he is the one who decides whether you will eat meat or drink wind in the evening.”
Peng Lang: ...Oh.
Soon, Lin Meng came over.
She would choose to put aside her work in the cafeteria and come to pick it up in person, not for the royal family of Zhou, but for the large and small bags brought by the Niu brothers and their entourage.
So she walked past everyone and went straight to the Niu brothers.
Because Lin Meng had been to Niu Village before, Niu Da and Niu Er both knew her, so without Lin Meng having to speak, she took the initiative to say, "Greetings, Fairy. These were planted by Immortal Chu a while ago. Now we are cultivating them according to the method taught by the Immortal, and the harvest is quite good. I thought of sending some to the Immortals to thank them for their kindness."
Although Lin Meng left Dechang County early and returned to school, he still knew a lot about the experimental fields of the Agricultural College there.
Not only fairy potatoes, but they also learn to grow seasonings.
He walked over, picked up a few sacks, opened them and took a look, then took some out and smelled them.
It was quickly determined that the quality of these chili peppers and peppercorns was good.
It is obvious that the indigenous people of Dechang County are very obedient. They strictly refer to the standards given to them by the Agricultural College in every aspect of planting and drying, and do a good job.
Lin Meng nodded and thought to herself, what Teacher Chu said is indeed right.
When they left Dechang County, Teacher Chu had said, "Although this world is not the same as before we traveled through time, we must believe that the wisdom of the working people is always infinite."
Now, it seems that the sweet potato harvest is good, the famine is over, and people can even make these seasonings.
So Lin Meng laughed and asked him some questions about farming, and Niu Da answered them one by one.
Finally, Lin Meng casually asked, "How do you usually eat them?"
As a result, Niu Da, who had just been answering questions fluently, stopped talking.
He poked there, a hint of embarrassment showing on his usually honest face.
This question really stumped him.
The chili peppers were seeds brought by Langyun, but the Sichuan peppercorns were originally from Dechang County.
However, most of them are wild, and because of their strange taste, no one has ever eaten them.
So, the Agricultural College taught them how to transplant, how to prune, how to repel insects, and how to dry and bake the peppercorns after they are ripe, so that we can get the dried peppercorns we have today.
But the peppers have been processed and the immortals have returned to Langyun.
So, they tried to eat these two things, but the result was that after eating them, one of them was burning, and the other tasted strange and could not be eaten at all...
Now, not much time has passed since the chili peppers and peppercorns matured. It is already difficult for the people of Dechang County to process them according to Langyun's requirements. They have no time to study the correct usage of the two types of peppers.
Now that Lin Meng asked him about this, Niu Dabian felt that he couldn't just say that they didn't touch these things at all...
If you say so, wouldn't it be a bit ungrateful?
But Niu Er can answer this question.
He pulled a cloth bag from his waist and said to Lin Meng seriously, "What the fairy asked me to plant must be good. I eat it every day."
Lin Meng was curious: "Then tell me, how do you usually eat?"
Then I saw Niu Er untie the small cloth bag.
It was filled with peppercorns.
Chai Kexin, who was watching, was extremely surprised: "You actually carry it with you?"
Niu Er said seriously: "Yes."
Then, I saw that the man had pinched out a handful of peppercorns from the cloth bag.
First take a deep breath, then put the thing in your hand directly into your mouth.
Chai Kexin: …
Lin Meng: ???
What is this for?
Is it so hard core?
Wake up!!!
But Niu Er had a calm expression. He chewed and raised his thumb to express his approval: "Although it is a little different, the taste is impressive. It is worthy of being a fairyland. The music is just right..."
The last few words were a little blurry.
Obviously, the quality of the peppercorns is really good, and the big tongue comes out as it is.
Lin Meng looked helpless: "Don't eat it, this is not the way to eat it."
Niu Er rubbed his mouth, looking puzzled.
Lin Meng didn't plan to teach him the various uses of seasonings on the spot, but said, "Come with me. It's almost dinner time anyway, so you can eat first."
The Niu brothers naturally would not refuse and quickly agreed.
Kong Lingyun and Kong Zhang also followed.
Chai Kexin took a few quick steps and caught up with Lin Meng, then asked quietly, "Why did you invite them to dinner?"
Lin Meng quietly flicked her phone: "Professional mission."
Chai Kexin looked puzzled.
Lin Meng said softly, "Our main mission is to promote food culture. The first step is, of course, to teach them how to use these seasonings correctly." Then, Lin Meng smiled and said softly, "It's time to let the people of this world know what it means that Chinese cuisine has a long history."
Soon they went to the fourth cafeteria of Langyun University.
There are several canteens in the school, and the fourth canteen is dedicated to providing meals for indigenous people.
Because it is not time to end the get out of class yet, the cafeteria is quite deserted.
There was only a master and servant dining together.
Lin Meng glanced at them, especially at the rather bland food in front of the young man, and said, "You're still in the recovery period, so eat well."
Zhong Yao subconsciously touched his left leg.
From the knees down, all you can feel is hard metal.
But this made him feel extremely at ease.
He had been kidnapped by barbarians in Zhou State before and almost died again. At that time, he felt that his life was over.
As a result, fate took such a dramatic turn. From the day he was "picked up" by the immortal, Zhong Yao felt that he was the luckiest man in the world.
At this moment, he slowly stood up with the help of the servant beside him, bowed properly, and a smile appeared on his pale face: "Thank you, fairy, I remember it."
Lin Meng nodded and stopped looking at him.
The young master of the Zhong family sat back down, but did not continue to eat. Instead, he quietly looked at the Zhou people in the distance.
The people of Zhou State paid no attention to him and quickly found a place to sit down.
Although for Langyun students, they don’t care about status in the outside world, everyone is the same in school.
However, the people of Zhou subconsciously avoided sitting at the same table with the prince and princess and just looked for another table.
The Niu brothers even sat directly at the edge, trying to minimize their presence.
Just when the dishes were being served, Lin Meng found them first.
He placed the white porcelain basin directly on the table. Before they could say anything, the fragrant smell made their eyes pop out.
Niu Da stared at the red thing in the basin, even forgetting his previous nervousness, and asked in surprise: "What kind of dish is this?"
Chai Kexin smelled something and leaned in, recognizing it immediately: "Spicy hot pot."
After saying that, he looked at Lin Meng eagerly.
Although life in Fenghe County was good and the entire county almost treated them as worshippers, the cooking methods in this world were too simple, with few seasonings, and the food was bland.
Now, not to mention anything else, just smelling the spicy taste makes me feel like tears are about to flow from the corners of my mouth.
Lin Meng seemed to be able to guess the other party's desire, so she smiled and said, "There are enough materials, don't worry."
Chai Kexin suddenly smiled and narrowed her eyes.
Niu Er couldn't help but stretched out his chopsticks, picked up some and put it directly into his mouth.
It was just because he had just chewed the raw peppercorns, so his tongue was still numb and he couldn't taste the specific flavor for a while.
But his ears suddenly turned red and sweat began to form on the tip of his nose.
Seeing him like this and the peppercorns inside, Niu Da subconsciously wanted to resist.
But since it is an immortal's invitation, I can't refuse.
So he took a deep breath and carefully picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.
The next second, sweat broke out on the tip of his nose, his ears turned red, and his eyes widened.
Huh...Huh?!
It was spicy at first, with a strong aftertaste, fresh and fragrant, and with waves of aroma that he had never tasted before.
Although it is exciting, it is very memorable.
Is it possible to make such novel dishes using those strange-tasting things?
Niu Da was so shocked that he couldn't hold back his voice: "This...what a good thing!"
