Chapter 23 Pork Ribs and Corn Soup

Five days had passed since she sent Ying Zheng away with a dark face.

At this time, the harvesting project in full swing in the field has basically come to an end.

At the beginning, every soldier was full of excitement, but now they only feel tired.

Why do they feel that harvesting corn and sweet potatoes during this time is more tiring than their usual military training.

Even Xuan Yang had to admit that it was really tiring, especially after breaking off the ears of corn and peeling off the kernels, everyone has been rough in the past few days.

In contrast, sweet potatoes are much easier to harvest, as long as they are pulled up from the ground, it is over, so convenient.

Wang Deng also bent over tired these two days. Although he didn't have to go to the field, it took a lot of effort to direct everyone to collect so much grain into the granary.

Zhao Jun couldn't help laughing at the tired and skinny people not far away. Now he knows that farm work is difficult, and farming is not much easier than fighting wars.

Seeing that the harvest has come to an end, the yield per mu has also come out.

The yield of corn is 960 catties per mu, and that of sweet potatoes is [-] catties per mu.

Wang Deng couldn't help smirking thinking of the full granary. It's been a long time since the granary was so full.

Zhao Jun looked at the crowd lying sprawled in the field, and it was finally over.

And she was finally going to see that dark-faced Ying Zheng.

Zhao Jun couldn't help laughing when he thought of how Ying Zheng walked away with a dark face last time.

It was because Ying Zheng's expression at that time was so funny.

Zhao Jun explained to him what it was for. Although he knew the consequences, he still didn't stop Ying Zheng's reaction.

Thinking about how he obviously cared but insisted on trying to pretend not to be ashamed, Zhao Jun found it very funny.

Zhao Jun didn't go to see Ying Zheng this week. On the one hand, he was really busy, and on the other hand, he was afraid that he hadn't digested it well yet and couldn't help laughing when he saw him.

At that time, he must be completely pissed off.

But today she couldn't escape, she let out a long sigh.

"Ms. Zhao, is there a problem? You sigh, the output is already very high."

Wang Dengle ran over, just in time to hear her sigh and asked.

"No problem, it has nothing to do with this." Zhao Jun shook his head perfunctorily.

Then she walked to the center of the field, looked around and said loudly.

"Everyone, you have worked hard these past few months. Today's harvest is inseparable from your hard work for several months. All our food has been harvested. This task has been successfully completed. Thank you for your hard work over the past few months. Afterwards, I will report to the king and give everyone a reward for their meritorious deeds."

After speaking, Zhao Jun bowed deeply.

In fact, in the past few months, these people are mainly paying, and Zhao Jun is just talking about it.

"Ms. Zhao's Shi is very polite, this is what we should do." Xuan Yang took the lead in saying a word and bowed deeply.

"Yeah, I've been really happy these past few months, thanks to Zhao Nushi."

"Not to mention the other meals are really good, I really don't want to leave."

"Yes, I'm not too tired, it's what I should, thank you Zhao Nushi."

For a while, the field was full of thanks from the soldiers, and everyone was very happy about this period of time.

"Ms. Zhao, what are you talking about? If it weren't for you, how could we grow such a high-yield grain, and all the people in Daqin should thank you in the future."

Wang Deng said with moist eyes, "I should thank you more for allowing me to follow these few months, and I have benefited a lot from my life."

The old man with more than 50 points bowed deeply to her sincerely.

Zhao Jun looked around and felt everyone's sincere eyes.

This short three months has benefited her a lot.

Zhao Jun returned to the palace full of melodiousness, saying goodbye to this journey.

Now it's time to report to the boss again.

However, the old rules, now that the corn and sweet potatoes have been harvested, how can she go there empty-handed.

She definitely wanted to try something new, so she turned a corner and came to the kitchen again.

Everyone in the kitchen was very excited to see her coming, especially since she came with something.

Whenever she brings something, it means something delicious.

"Ms. Zhao Shi'an, it's time to cook something delicious again. The tomatoes you had last time were really delicious." Chaisang was always the first to greet her.

"Yeah, I'm lucky again today."

Zhao Jun came in and put corn and sweet potatoes on the table.

"Mr. Ai, this is a sweet potato. You can wash this for me and just throw it in the oven."

Zhao Jun handed the sweet potato to Ai Du, and he just made the simplest roasted sweet potato.

Although it's not winter yet, roasted sweet potatoes can be arranged.

"Okay." Ai Du hurried over to help Zhao Jun deal with those sweet potatoes.

He also welcomes Zhao Jun to come over, every time she can give himself inspiration for cooking.

"Then help me prepare some ribs, I want to make a soup."

Zhao Jun has already thought about today's dinner, a roasted sweet potato, a steamed corn, and a corn rib soup, perfect!
These few things are not complicated to make, only stewing the soup takes a little time, but now it's too late in the afternoon.

The smoke from the kitchen is slowly flowing out from the roof, the gurgling sound of the stove is the most beautiful piece of music, and the oven is gradually emitting a fragrance.

An hour passed, and the soup on the stove was delicious and thick, and the corn and sweet potatoes were ready.

Zhao Jun deliberately stewed some more, and she hid in the kitchen and drank a bowl secretly.

The people around were already attracted by the peculiar smell, but the pork rib soup was not good enough, Zhao Jun only let them taste the steamed corn.

"Zhao Nushi, you said this thing is called corn, it's delicious."

Chaisang has always been the most supportive, holding a small piece of yellow corn on the cob and nibbling on it.

"Huh, fragrant~"

Zhao Jun sat on the low stool next to him with the soup and let out a sigh of relief. The pork ribs and corn soup is indeed her favorite soup, it is so delicious.

"Okay, let's share the taste of the other things, I'm going to give the boss another offering."

Zhao Jun finished his soup and corn with satisfaction, wiped the oil on his mouth, packed up today's dinner, and headed to the front hall.

"Ms. Zhao Shi'an." Sun Cheng greeted her with a smile.

Zhao Jun was surprised, because she always came to the front hall and was very familiar with Sun Cheng. Usually, when he saw her from afar, he would notify her in advance, and when she arrived, he would go in directly.

Why did you come out on purpose today, is there anyone inside?

"What's the matter, the king has something to do, do you need me to wait in the side hall?"

"No, you can just go in, I just want to tell you that Mr. Fusu is inside." Sun Cheng said with a smile.

Fusu is here?

Jun Zhao was quite surprised. Although she said she always met him in the palace, Fusu rarely came to the front hall to look for Yingzheng. She often came to meet Li Si and the others, but she had never seen Fusu.

"Okay, I see, then I'll go in first." Zhao Jun replied, carrying things in as usual.

What's the matter with Yingzheng looking for Fusu, won't he get angry again?
