With the help of General Xiao, who was more useful than an ox, the group cultivated the crops much faster than expected. They finished all the farm work before the sun went down.
"That piece is eggplant, that piece is cabbage, and this piece... oh yeah, this piece is corn!"
Jing Li carved several small wooden plaques, engraved names on them, and nailed them next to each field.
After doing all this, he clapped his hands, stood up, and walked around the ridge of the field with the little fish cub as if he was inspecting his territory.
Although Xiao Yuzai is still young, he is very interested in farm work. Half of the seeds in these fields were sown by him.
The reason was probably because Qin Zhao had told him in advance that as long as he planted the seeds in this way and took good care of them for a period of time, he would be able to get several times more vegetables and food.
When it comes to eating, the little fish has never lost to anyone.
"Since the fish cub likes to eat so much, it would be nice to find a chef to learn from him in the future." Jing Li thought seriously about this possibility.
Moreover, if the little fish cub really learns some skills, he will be able to eat a lot of delicious food.
When he said this, Xiao Yue was helping Qin Zhao chop vegetables. Hearing this, he immediately objected: "How can this be possible? Didn't we agree that when the fish cub grows up a little, he will be sent to me to learn kung fu?"
"Who told you that if he wants to learn kung fu for self-defense, I can teach him." Qin Zhao interrupted.
"You dare teach me your mediocre skills?" Xiao Yue swung the kitchen knife on the chopping board and said provocatively, "Come and try if you're brave enough. I can knock you down with one move."
Qin Zhao didn't even raise his head in the face of provocation, and said calmly: "The emperor asked you to visit me, is this how you visit me?"
Xiao Yue: “…”
Jing Li was used to the two of them bickering after just a few words, and he was too lazy to even try to separate them.
Sometimes he even doubted whether what Qin Zhao said about his relationship with Xiao Yue was true. If their relationship was really bad, why would Qin Zhao agree to Xiao Yue visiting them so often?
Besides, he had never seen Qin Zhao argue with others like this.
Of course, it is also possible that Qin Zhao was just enjoying the pleasure of forcing his former mortal enemy into silence.
Xiao Yue had never been better than Qin Zhao in his verbal skills. When he brought up the little emperor, Xiao Yue could only grumble and continue chopping radishes.
However, looking at the fierce and sharp knife skills, Jing Li suspected that Xiao Yue had probably replaced the white radish with Qin Zhao's head in his mind.
The brief confrontation ended with Qin Zhao's overwhelming victory.
The ingredients for today's dinner were all brought by the little emperor at Xiao Yue's request, including shrimp, crab, meat, fresh vegetables and fruits, which are things that are hard to see or buy on weekdays.
As Xiao Yue prepared the ingredients, he sighed, "The Lingnan Governor specially sent someone to deliver fresh fruits and vegetables at full speed. They were given to you before they even entered the imperial kitchen. Look at how much the little emperor cares about you."
Qin Zhao understood his implication: "So you're here to lobby for the young emperor."
The time for this year's imperial examination has passed, and Qin Zhao did not participate, but the young emperor has not given up the idea of lobbying Qin Zhao to return to the court.
He couldn't explain it himself, so he asked Xiao Yue to do it.
Qin Zhao was curious: "When did you become so obedient to the little emperor?"
Some time ago, Xiao Yue was still complaining that the little emperor was cowardly and lacked the dignity of an emperor.
