Chapter 162 I owed you something in my previous life
Military camp on the outskirts.
As soon as they entered the camp, they were greeted by Feng Tu, "Princess, Fifth Master."
Xia Jing saw Feng Tu covering his mouth and recalled that his voice was wrong just now, so she asked with a smile: "What's wrong with your mouth? Are you angry?"
Feng Tu chuckled and explained, "I'm injured."
He pointed to the pile of firewood not far away and said, "Eating sugar cane will make your tongue rot."
Xia Jing glanced into the distance and shook her head lightly, "If you didn't tell me, I really didn't notice it. I thought it was a pile of firewood."
When I saw sugar cane, I remembered that it was also harvest season.
Li Chengmu, who was following him, explained patiently, "These sugar canes are the materials our team seized from Annan. In fact, there is still a month until the actual harvest, but time waits for no one, so we can only cut them down."
, shipped it back."
In fact, they taste about the same sweetness, which makes them cheaper.
Xia Jing looked at the large pile in front of her in surprise, "You brought all this back from Annan?"
"More than that." Li Chengmu smiled and pointed to the location of the camp kitchen, "There are quite a few behind. At first, the soldiers liked to chew them, but gradually some people developed problems with their mouths, so these sugar canes were left.
Come down."
If chewing sugar cane doesn't cause oral problems, then if you chew it while walking all the way here, there shouldn't be much left when you get back to Fucheng.
After all, tens of thousands of people chew sugar cane, and the amount consumed is still considerable.
After hearing her son's words, Xia Jing became interested and said, "Let's go and take a look at this sugar cane. What does it look like?"
I wonder what the difference is between the length and thickness of sugarcane that has not been improved in ancient times and that of later generations?
Li Chengmu walked a few steps quickly to catch up with Xia Jing and said enthusiastically: "Concubine, I will let my son cut a piece for you later, and you can also taste the sweetness of the sugar cane."
Xia Jing waved her hand and expressed her gratitude for chewing sugar cane. "My mouth really can't stand the crude fiber of sugar cane. I only need to chew a small part and my tongue will almost be injured."
Hearing this, Li Chengmu asked with a smile: "Concubine, have you ever chewed sugar cane before?"
"I've tasted it." Xia Jing didn't mean to say more.
Xia Jing has seen sugar cane and it looks slender, which may be due to the lack of fertilizers in ancient times.
"Transport these sugar canes to the workshop in the north of the city. There is a factory building next to the iron workshop, which can be used as a temporary sugar processing plant."
Li Chengmu heard for the first time that sugar cane can be made into sugar, and asked in surprise: "Concubine, are you saying that these sugar canes can be made into sugar?"
"Yes, why haven't you heard of it?" Xia Jing looked at her precious son in surprise.
Then I thought about the backward transportation and information in ancient times. It became clear that Li Chengmu's education since childhood made it impossible for him to understand the work of craftsmen.
Li Chengmu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "This is the first time I heard about it, my concubine, how to make grain from sugar cane?"
Xia Jing suddenly found it funny, "As a mother, I don't know how to make cane sugar. However, there are many sugar masters in Lingnan. We can just hire someone with a high salary to help us make sugar."
Li Chengmu nodded with deep understanding: "My mother is right, we don't know how to do it. As long as we have money, we are afraid that we won't be able to hire experienced masters!"
Xia Jing just smiled. In her notebook, she learned about sugar making during the apocalypse class. There should be notes in the space. She will look for them when she goes back.
Later, she revised a letter and sent it to Ding Daqiang, asking him to help find the sugar master and clean the factory.
I came here today to prepare to go to sea again. The pirates who surrendered last time should be able to be taken out to see the world after so many days of training.
However, the sugar cane in the camp was overflowing, so we had to change the itinerary and deal with the sugar cane first.
However, if she doesn't go to sea, she can ask her soldiers to make a trip. After her sugar workshop is built and officially started, the fleet that goes to sea will almost come back.
Then she will go to sea with them.
It's a pity that he can't travel this time. Li Chengmu wanted to go out with the fleet, but Xia Jing rejected his request.
Fighting in the sea and on land are completely different things. The sea is deep and unpredictable, and Xia Jing is really worried if she doesn't follow.
This time, in addition to several sea-going ships rented from the Lan family, Xia Jing also prepared four ships herself, which could carry more than 3,000 people to sea, which was more than enough to deal with an overseas colony.
According to the information she collected, there were approximately several hundred Xiyi people gathered in Dongfan.
Although the Xiyi people controlled the local indigenous people, Xia Jing sent three thousand troops, which was enough to deal with the Xiyi people from the east.
After snatching Dongfan back, she can build Dongfan into a food base and a transfer station in the southeastern sea area.
After making arrangements to go to sea, Xia Jing left the medicinal materials and took a carriage back to Fucheng.
Let’s talk about the palace.
Madam, you get up early in the morning and start getting busy.
The stewards took turns to report the situation and receive the cards one by one, while the eldest lady responded calmly, as if the uncle's illness did not have much impact on her.
The managers in every department saw that she was calm and assertive, and that she had the air of a great lady. When reporting on the situation, she did not even dare to take a breath.
When the matter was almost settled, her personal maid hurried in from outside.
The eldest lady looked at her, "What happened?"
The personal maid came close to the eldest lady and whispered: "The uncle is having a temper again. He refused to have breakfast after getting up, and asked the madam to feed him."
After hearing this, the eldest lady became angry and saw that there were many stewards in the room. She could only suppress the anger and waved the stewards to leave and do their work.
She leaned slumped on the chair, as if all her strength had been exhausted. It was really frustrating to have to face a childish man all day long!
"Madam?" the personal maid shouted worriedly.
The eldest lady held her forehead and waved her hand gently, signaling the maid not to say more.
After a while, she raised her head, and her expression returned to the arrogant lady's aura, as if she was not the one who was decadent just now.
"Let's go back!"
The eldest lady stood up and walked out first.
The personal maid quickly followed.
Walking outside the courtyard, you can feel the scene of chickens and dogs dancing in the courtyard.
As soon as the eldest lady stepped into the courtyard, she saw a tall humanoid creature rushing towards her.
The personal maid who was following behind was startled and made defensive movements, fearing that the eldest lady would be knocked to the ground by him.
"Sister, why are you here? They are bullying me while you are not here." Li Chengshang hugged the eldest lady, hugged her, and took the opportunity to complain.
The eldest lady was knocked back a few steps before she stabilized her body. The smile on her face was a little stiff and she patted him on the back: "Good boy, how could they bully you? They just want you to eat. You tell me.
Sister, can you eat well?"
Li Chengshang pouted and said aggrievedly: "The food they feed is not delicious, I want my sister to feed it."
The eldest lady took the opportunity to push him away. After hearing his words, she really wanted to touch her forehead and said, "Okay, sister, come and feed me!"
When Li Chengshang heard this, a big smile appeared on his face, "Oh! Sister has fed me!"
After that, without waiting for anyone else, he rushed into the room like a gust of wind.
The eldest lady then walked into the room, and Li Chengshang had already sat down at the table obediently, waiting for her to feed him.
The eldest lady held the bowl and fed the food resignedly. Looking at the man who was eating obediently, she sighed, "You always made me worried when you were normal. Now you are still making me worried when you are sick. You said I was Don’t I owe you something?”
Li Chengshang seemed not to understand what she said. He pointed at the meat on the table and shouted anxiously: "Meat, meat, I want to eat meat!"
