Chapter 213

At this moment, the fire was bright, and a group of people poured out of the dark, and oil was poured on a tarpaulin.

A few shadows were startled, they subconsciously threw their things and turned their heads and ran, shouting loudly from behind, "Stop, don't run."

They ran faster, but the patrols quickly blocked their way, captured all the shadows, and tore off the mask to see that they had a very ordinary appearance, the kind that could not be found when thrown into the crowd, "Who are you? Show me the way."

The other party smiled and said, "We are businessmen from Ganzhou City. We can't sleep at night, so we came to stroll..."

The patrol sneered, "Walking to the department store halfway with oil? Masked people came out to set fire at night. They were so courageous, they got all the stolen goods, and they wanted to quibble. of?"

The other party insisted that he was an innocent trader, "It's really just a misunderstanding, the night is too dark, we went the wrong way..."

"Take it away, take it all away." There is always someone who can take care of them.

The next day, as soon as Mu Wanqing went to work, an official came over to tell her what happened last night.

When Mu Wanqing heard this, her brows furrowed. This was too severe and must be severely punished.

"Have you spoken?"

The officials couldn't help laughing bitterly, and they tortured those people, but they didn't gain much.

"The move is a move, but it's just that the masked man paid 1,000 taels to let them come and burn the store. They didn't see the masked man's face clearly."

Mu Wanqing knew this was going to happen, "Continue to investigate, we must dig out the people."

The official couldn't help but ask, "Qingping County Lord, do you have any suspects?"

Mu Wanqing shook her head slightly. She just thought that the envoys of the two countries were there. Could it be that they secretly ordered it?

But this kind of thing can't be a big one, it can only be investigated secretly.

"Let people take good care of it, and don't let anything happen."

She arranged patrols in the city, and even more staff at night, and arranged people in the open and dark.

"Yes."

Du Shaoxuan came after hearing the news, "Is something wrong?"

Mu Wanqing was a little unhappy, "I don't know which bastard wants to burn down the department store. If I catch him, I will beat him." That was Xi Liang's money bag.

"Don't be angry, didn't you say you have something important to go to Shuimu Farm?" Du Shaoxuan is not responsible for negotiating matters, and he doesn't have to fight, so he has more free time. "I'm going too, I haven't turned around well yet."

Mu Wanqing raised her eyebrows, "You don't need to go to the military camp?"

"You don't have to go every day." Du Shaoxuan just wanted to spend more time with her, so it would be good to stay with her for a while.

"Let's go then."

Mu Wanqing went back to the farm to inspect the farm, and first went to check the plants in the experimental field.

She looked at a few plants and exclaimed, "This looks like a pepper?"

Du Shaoxuan leaned over curiously, "What is chili?"

Mu Wanqing's eyes lit up and her brows danced, "A kind of condiment from the Western Regions, spicy, used to make boiled fish, spicy tofu is delicious, and it can also be made into spicy sauce."

A lot of dishes can be out, happy.

Du Shaoxuan was even happier, "When the new dishes come out, be sure to invite me to try them first."

"It's a must." Mu Wanqing smiled happily. The hot sauce could be made into a brand and sold all over the world.

A lot of money is flowing in, it's beautiful to think about.

Du Shaoxuan saw her staring at the green plants obsessively, and a smile flashed in her eyes, "When you are eighteen years old, marry me."

"Mu..." Mu Wanqing responded in time, but was choked on her own saliva, "Cough cough."

"Be careful." Du Shaoxuan patted her back.

Mu Wanqing slapped his hand away angrily, "Don't say such weird words again."

Du Shaoxuan asked righteously, "I like you and want to marry you, is this weird?"

Seeing his serious expression, Mu Wanqing's mood was quite complicated, "Why do you mention these things carefully?"

Du Shaoxuan persuaded her earnestly, "You always want to marry someone, you might as well marry me, who knows the bottom line, I will listen to you in everything, and I will not restrain you. You can be a female official or a female general if you want. as long as you are happy."

She is sixteen this year, and he is always worried that someone will take the lead. No, how can the treasure he has guarded for so long be taken away?

He is good at straight balls, he likes to say it, and he works hard for what he wants.

Mu Wanqing was not afraid of others playing tricks, but she was afraid that others would be sincere.

"you……"

Afraid of her rejection, Du Shaoxuan hurriedly said, "There will be no conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the future. My father-in-law likes you very much, and he is not a person who likes tossing. You marry into our family as the boss of the family, and you can do whatever you want."

The blueprint he drew was so tempting that Mu Wanqing was a little moved.

"I'm thinking about..." She saw Du Shaoxuan's eyes light up, and her heart trembled, "No, I mean thinking about..." It wasn't a promise.

Du Shaoxuan is still very happy, at least he is the closest person at the moment, "I will keep waiting until the day you like me."

Is Mu Wanqing really not moved at all? She can't say it well herself.

The man closest to her, besides her father and brother, was Du Shaoxuan.

It's very comfortable to get along with Du Shaoxuan, you don't need to think too much or cover up, you can be yourself.

Second Master Mu's voice came not far away, "Qing'er, Qing'er."

"Father, I'm here." Mu Wanqing ran over.

Mu Erye stood in the cornfield and waved at her, \'"Come and see the corn, the corn silk is already dark, can you pick it?"

It was the first time that the farm was planting corn, and she had no experience. She listened to what Mu Wanqing said, and she had to check it out in the end.

Mu Wanqing ran over and Dingqing took a look, right?

The most important purpose of her trip was to check the growth of corn.

She gently peeled off a corn cobs and saw that the corn kernels inside had turned bright yellow, and her eyebrows instantly curved up, "It's ripe and you can eat it."

Du Shaoxuan walked up to her and glanced curiously, "Is that the kind of high-yield grain you said?"

"Yes, you can witness the miracle with your own eyes." Mu Wanqing took off a heavy corn cobs and put it in her hands, thinking about it.

"Let's start picking."

With her order, the villagers began to move.

Under her demonstration, everyone did it quickly and well, and the movements were extremely quick, and the corn was piled up into a hill in no time.

Mu Erye and Du Shaoxuan actively weighed the weight, while Mu Wanqing was taking notes.

There were not many seeds, so Mu Wanqing planted an acre of land.

Second Master Mu couldn't wait to ask, "How much is the yield per mu?"

The result came out soon, Mu Wanqing frowned slightly, "Seven hundred and five pounds, not one thousand."

She was not very satisfied, but the others were flushed with excitement, and they looked at the corn like a rare treasure.

It doesn't pick the land, it's easy to plant, and the yield is so high. It's a life-saving treasure.

Second Master Mu laughed, "Qing'er, you are really a lucky star."

"It's clear that Wanqing is capable." Du Shaoxuan couldn't close his mouth, "Okay, that's great, Wanqing, you have done a good job again, I'll write to the emperor, ah, yes, you'll be there in person. Feng memorial, I will also give you credit."

"Got it." Mu Wanqing stared at the corn, salivating, "Let's taste the corn first."

Just boiled the corn, and everyone watched curiously.

The boiled corn grains are plump, tender and juicy, golden, pleasing to the eye, and exudes an attractive fragrance.

Mu Wanqing distributed a piece of corn to each of the working villagers.

Second Master Mu couldn't wait to take a bite, and was then amazed.

"This is delicious, sweet and glutinous, and there is no problem with it as a staple food."

But Mu Wanqing felt that the corn was not soft enough and needed to be improved and evolved.

"It's delicious to make steamed buns and vegetable cakes and dumplings after drying and grinding. After peeling, it can also be used to bake corn. It's sweet and delicious."

Second Master Mu was aroused by greed, "Can you do it now?"

"Okay." Mu Wanqing was also greedy, she lifted her sleeves to work, "Help me peel off the corn kernels."

Hearing that she cooked by herself, Du Shaoxuan immediately stood aside and tried to eat the freshest first bite.

After the corn is peeled off, cook it and drain the water, add some starch and stir evenly, put it in the pan and fry it, flatten it with a shovel, then put some oil in it, and continue to fry the corn tortilla until it turns golden brown. .

Cut into slices, sprinkle with sugar, and eat.

Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, fragrant and sweet, it makes people want to eat again.

The three of them buried themselves in hard work, just like a game.

Second Master Mu didn't forget to remind, "You eat slowly, it's hot."

That being said, he's the fastest, and this crispy cornbread is to his liking.

Mu Wanqing couldn't help laughing, the charm of corn branding was not ordinary.

Even Du Shaoxuan, who doesn't like sweets very much, ate several pieces at once.

After a while, there was only a piece of corn tortilla on the plate, and three pairs of chopsticks caught it.

Du Shaoxuan flattered with a smile on his face, "Give it to Uncle Mu, he works the hardest."

This reason was very powerful, Mu Wanqing silently retracted the chopsticks, yes, do more next time.

"Qing'er still loves Dad the most." Second Master Mu happily seared the corn in two, giving half to his daughter and keeping the other half for himself.

As for Du Shaoxuan, he ignores it directly. Who would like a wolf who is trying to do something to his daughter?

Du Shaoxuan:  …

Obviously, he was the first to be courteous, okay?

Can this father-in-law still want it?

Mu Wanqing happily held it up, "I'll make it for you next time."

Second Master Mu looked confused, wanted to eat but couldn't, "Don't, keep it all for seeding, I don't think it will be enough for next year."

Mu Wanqing has not had enough of it yet, "Then leave two bags for everyone to taste, and keep the rest well."

Second Master Mu patted her head, "A small bag is enough, just eat two sticks for each person to taste. Qing'er is good, I will eat enough again next year."

Only after farming did you realize how hard it was and how important food was to the people at the bottom.

Now, there are still many people who can't get enough to eat.

Mu Wanqing stroked her forehead and sighed, her father became more and more sentimental.

But anyway, this is a happy event.

She reminded, "Don't spread the word about this, the more low-key the better."

Second Master Mu has a strong sense of confidentiality, "I know, don't worry."

Mu Wanqing stayed at the farm for one night and dealt with a lot of backlog of work.

She did not participate in the negotiation, and everyone who was quoted asked the reason. Daqi only said that he was unwell and rested at home.

Believe it or not, whatever.

Du Shaoxuan also lived in the farm. He liked it very much. It was full of vigor and had a farmhouse scenery.

The next morning, he got up and finished his martial arts practice, and went to the dining room to have breakfast with Mu Wanqing.

There are his favorite xiao long bao and fresh meat ravioli, and he is very satisfied.

His cronies broke in, "Little General, it's not good."

Du Shaoxuan frowned, "What's the matter?"

The cronies shouted anxiously, "Cuiyun Nunnery is on fire, and something happened to Madam."

Du Shaoxuan's face turned pale, and the chopsticks in his hand fell to the ground...
