Queen Mother's A Scientist

——Renqiu City.

Renqiu is one of the seven cities in mozhou. The number of cities and towns in each state is not certain. With seven cities and states like Mo state, it is a medium-sized state.

Li Jingnan said that there were 132 prefectures in Daqi. When the first emperor was in power, he ceded 12 prefectures. Then a year ago, Liao soldiers invaded again, the border fell one after another, and Qi soldiers retreated one after another. Finally, the emperor ceded the six prefectures of Qin, Wei, yuan, Xi, he and Mo to Liao. Therefore, there are only 114 states in Daqi today.

Once the lion opens its mouth, it won't stop easily.

Hua Qingxue knows that this is only the beginning.

At the expense of the interests of the six states, the emperor of Qi could only obtain a short-term peace.

If the people here can ignore the high-pressure monitoring of Renqiu City by Liao soldiers and the sense of humiliation in their hearts, Hua Qingxue doesn't think their days will change much.

But these are just if

The tragic scene that I saw with my own eyes on the street had a great impact on huaqingxue.

The inferiority of human life made her almost breathless.

She is soft but positive and optimistic. However, she has been living in such a precarious environment and can't help tasting the taste of despair

On this day, Hua Qingxue went back very late.

During her absence, Li Jingnan has been very anxious.

In this strange place, neither of them thought about how to live if they lost one of them.

When Hua Qingxue knocked on the door, Li Jingnan ran to open the door almost without thinking.

Li Jingnan said proudly, "I swept the snow in the yard today, and I heated the porridge." There was a flattery in his tone that he didn't even notice.

Hua Qingxue's face was tight. She turned to close the door and shouted: "why did you open the door without asking?! How did I tell you before I left?! "

Li Jingnan was stunned. For the first time, he saw Hua Qingxue get angry. If he had been angry before, but at this moment, he forgot to put on his shelf and only whispered an excuse: "... I just forgot for a moment..."

Hua Qingxue said that she felt a little too extreme.

She took a breath and said in a soothing tone, "I bought steamed stuffed buns outside. They are stuffed with meat. We'll have steamed stuffed buns tonight."

"Oh..."

Li Jingnan took her baggage and looked back at her uneasily as she walked into the house.

Hua Qingxue thought with some self mockery that she was not as good as an eight year old child. Li Jingnan saw the bodyguard's body with her own eyes and just cried when she came back. What's the matter with her? Is extreme fear the cause of emotional runaway?

In this way, Hua Qingxue has to admire the shopkeeper of fengle building. The shopkeeper, no matter how frightened, hated and disgusted he was, he always put on a warm smile in the face of the Liao soldiers who came to the store, even if those people didn't pay every time.

In order to survive, people always have to abandon something

In the evening, Hua Qingxue and Li Jingnan eat steamed stuffed buns next to the hot stove.

Both of them did not know the taste of meat for a long time. They were not polite at all. One big meat steamed stuffed bun was as big as a palm. Hua Qingxue and Li Jingnan each ate enough two and filled half a bowl of porridge.

It's about that she hasn't eaten so comfortably for a long time. Hua Qingxue's mood is much relaxed. She thinks optimistically: Fortunately, she and Li Jingnan, one is a woman and the other is a child. This meat steamed stuffed bun can afford to eat occasionally. If an ordinary adult man doesn't eat four or five, he may not be full.

God likes to act like this. When you are struggling, you will never be in a desperate situation.

There's no way for people. That's probably what I mean.

The next day, they both slept until dawn.

I woke up, but no one wanted to move, so I crowded into the quilt and chatted.

"Are you still washing today?" Li Jingnan asked next to her.

"I don't wash today. It's cold in winter and December. My clothes don't change frequently when it's hot. There aren't many originally." Hua Qingxue said slowly with bleary eyes.

This is true. Rich families have their own servant girls to wash clothes, while poor families don't even have clothes to change, let alone take them out to outsiders to wash.

The reason why Hua Qingxue can receive some chores of washing clothes is that she depends on Aunt Yan's care.

"Are you still going out today?" Li Jingnan looked at Hua Qingxue uneasily. He still remembered that Hua Qingxue went out yesterday and was in a bad mood when he came back.

Hua Qingxue shook her head. "I don't have to go out today. I bought rice yesterday. Plus the leftovers aunt Yan gave us, it's enough to deal with for a while."

Li Jingnan's eyes turned, a little disappointed, "... Then... What shall we do today..."

He is the prince and the only son of the emperor. His schoolwork has always been full. He studies four books and five classics in the morning, riding and shooting in the afternoon, and practicing big characters for an hour in the evening. He has never worried about the schedule.

When he first arrived at Renqiu, he and Hua Qingxue patronized to worry about clothes, food and accommodation, and then anxiously inquired about the news. Now the security is becoming more and more strict. He was detained in this small yard by Hua Qingxue, and his heart was flustered.

He wants to find something to do for himself. It's good even to sweep the yard. He's afraid to think about it in his spare time. The more he thinks about it, the more frightened he becomes

Li Jingnan thought this way, and Hua Qingxue over there was also a sense of disappointment.

——Washing clothes is not a long-term thing. Not to mention that the timing of this work is sometimes inaccurate, I say that my hands, the crack has begun to become inflamed. It hurts when I touch them occasionally, not to mention washing clothes in the water.

Originally, Hua Qingxue wanted to go to the restaurant to help the shopkeeper calculate an account. There was a separate accounting room, so she didn't have to appear in public. Her daughter's house could also do it, but in that way, Hua Qingxue couldn't avoid going in and out of the restaurant frequently.

The garrison of Daliao has just been sent here. Soon, the officer has not come to restrain the people below. At this time, it is the most prone to trouble, and no one cares about it. Yesterday's scene confirmed these

Can not go out, but also to find a way to live, Hua Qingxue's mood is very depressed.

According to her cognition, when a place is suddenly occupied by another force, the first year is usually the most chaotic time. Because the original rules and order are disrupted, this friction will last for a long time, ranging from three to five years to decades. Until the new rules and order are established, the place will really return to peace.

She knew nothing about the world, had no survival skills, and had to live with a child. The difficulties were self-evident.

Hua Qingxue can only hope that the legendary general Fu will come to rescue the prince and... Take her by the way.

"Let's make tea today!"

Hua Qingxue's head suddenly flashed, and his eyes lit up a bit, "if it's good, we can ask aunt Yan to sell it in the restaurant!"

Li Jingnan in the quilt immediately looked contemptuous, "you can't even cook well. What tea do you cook..."

Hua Qingxue doesn't mind being ridiculed by Li Jingnan. "I haven't cooked yet. Everything has happened for the first time. Besides, I made progress later. I think you ate it all."

Li Jingnan sipped his mouth. He was hungry, okay?

Every day is porridge and steamed bread. It's not easy to have a fried cabbage. Of course, he is very rare.

However, Hua Qingxue doesn't know how to choose dishes, and Li Jingnan doesn't know that the whole cabbage is stirred in the pot. Finally, it is pasted outside, but it is still raw inside, and the salt hasn't completely melted. Some vegetable leaves are still stained with salt grains. It's too salty to eat, so she can't give up. Hua Qingxue poured it back into the pot and added water, Fried cabbage has become boiled cabbage

The two of them concluded that cooking is easier than frying, so what dishes they want to eat later, they throw them directly into the porridge and cook together

These things were too difficult for him to say, so Li Jingnan didn't say a word.

Hua Qingxue was very interested and continued: "before she came back yesterday, aunt Yan gave me half of the white gourd! White gourd is so big that you can't finish one or two meals anyway. It's just used to make white gourd tea... "

Li Jingnan endured and finally asked her, "have you done it before?"

"I don't remember, but I think it should be OK." Hua Qingxue is full of confidence.

Li Jingnan smelled the speech, and the disdain on the little steamed stuffed bun's face was heavier.

A woman who can't even fry cabbage well, he really can't expect all of her!

Hua Qingxue does what she says and gets up when she turns over.

As soon as the quilt was opened, Li Jingnan, who was lying inside, immediately shrank back - it was getting colder and colder that day!

Hua Qingxue put on her clothes and went down the Kang. She just stopped two steps, turned around and climbed up the Kang with a decadent face.

Li Jingnan blinked, "what's the matter?"

Hua Qingxue replied, "there is no sugar at home, and there is only one pot..."

If you really cook tea to sell, at least there must be a bucket?

The water in an iron pot is only three or five bowls. Where can it be sold?

Alas! It's so poor

It's hard to think of a business that can only run aground. Hua Qingxue is a little depressed, but when he thinks about it, he finds that he remembers more things? All kinds of tea making prescriptions are skipped in my mind like turning the pages of a book. White gourd tea, chrysanthemum tea, medlar tea, red jujube tea, dragon beard tea

Casually remembering the making methods of hundreds of kinds of tea, Hua Qingxue was frightened by herself!

What is this

Is... Is she about to recover her memory?

She thought so and tried to remember again.

I still can't remember my identity, but I accidentally remember several recipes

That's strange.

Hua Qingxue whispered in her heart.

Anyway, white gourd tea can't be made.

Hua Qingxue cut off a small part of white gourd and fried it with a little oil, a little salt and some water. It was so rotten that they could hardly hold chopsticks. Nevertheless, they still had a good time.

After lunch, Hua Qingxue squatted down to rinse the pot and wash the dishes. Li Jingnan took a broom and began to sweep the snow in the yard. The sun was warm on them. The yard looked calm and leisure.
