"Just these two things, ordinary people work hard all their lives. Not to mention they can't afford them, they may not even have seen them before!"

Everyone: ...You are so amazing, you make it sound like this thing belongs to your family.

Xiaoxiao waited quietly for him to finish before asking: "Do you know what a bird's nest is?"

The staff member was stunned for a moment: "Swallow's nest?"

Xiaoxiao nodded: "Then do you know how swallows make nests?"

Without waiting for the staff member to answer, Xiaoxiao directly announced the answer: "I used my own saliva to stick together its feathers, picked branches and dead leaves and other nesting objects. These bird's nests that nobles usually like to eat, in fact, It’s just dried swallow saliva.”

Everyone: ... suddenly felt a little sick...

His hatred for the rich was gone, and he even sympathized with those rich people.

Is it because the steamed buns are not fragrant, or the meat and vegetables are not delicious, and you have to eat the swallow’s saliva? The key is that they still treat this thing as a treasure and blow it everywhere after eating it.

The prince's face turned blue and white. Thinking of the fate of his former colleague Shao Lin, his staff were sweating profusely and trying to find ways to fix it. His eyes fell on another bowl of tonic. He cleared his throat: "Then let's try this shark's fin, girl. It’s full of flavor and nutritious, perfect for overworked people like you.”

Xiaoxiao frowned: "Looking at the size of this shark fin, it should be the fin of a shark, right?"

The staff felt bad but could only nod obediently.

Xiaoxiao said: "This shark fin is made from the filamentous cartilage in the shark fin. One shark can only produce a few portions, and the shark after the fin is removed because the meat is dry and fishy, ​​basically no one will eat it." .”

“Furthermore, sharks are large and if left on a fishing boat, they will take up too much space for other marine products. In order to leave more space, fishermen usually cut off the fins and then throw the sharks back into the sea. "

"But sharks that have lost their fins and are seriously injured cannot survive at all, so they basically catch them one by one and die."

She was very slippery and didn't give the staff a chance to interrupt.

"Shark's fin itself has no taste at all, and it doesn't have much nutrition. The seasoning and nourishment depend entirely on the broth in which it is stewed. Our border towns are short of everything, so it is difficult to find the ingredients for cooking the broth. It’s probably the entire wealth of a family. It’s unnecessary to waste money and people just for a bowl of shark fins. I can’t eat the shark fins produced in this way.”

"This gentleman, there is no killing without buying and selling."

No matter what you mean, it’s all wrong?

The staff member was speechless. If it were anyone else, he would slam the table and angrily scold this person for being ignorant, but she happened to be the Xiao family member that His Royal Highness wanted to win over.

The embarrassed prince didn't get angry when he looked at Xiaoxiao's smiling profile. Instead, he took the initiative to take the tray: "In this case, I didn't think carefully."

"Then Miss Xiao is resting well, so I won't disturb you for now."

These were polite words, but Xiaoxiao actually nodded: "That's okay, I'm indeed still sleepy and want to sleep a little longer."

The staff member looked depressed: "Your Highness, are we leaving like this?"

The prince didn't even look at him. He raised his hand and waved, and then some personal guards dragged the staff member down, covering his mouth.

He doesn't need trash by his side, and he doesn't want to think of Xiao Ran's daughter showing her teeth and claws in front of him every time he sees this face.

On the other side, the Yun Guards were also a little worried: "Girl, you are so obviously not giving the Crown Prince face, aren't you afraid that he will wait for an opportunity to retaliate?"

Xiaoxiao waved his hand: "The feud has been settled long ago, there is no shortage of this one."

She counted on her fingers and told the Yun Guards: "Look, it was me who kept him locked up in the yard for a few more days. It was me who gave him the fake ancient books and spent more than ten days on him. I ignored his status as the prince. It’s me who doesn’t let him in the vegetable garden, and it’s me who makes him go to Fuyuan Village to look for it even though I clearly have the secret recipe for dehydrated vegetables...” It’s still me who will use this thing to trick him in the future.

When she was done counting, she concluded: "So you see, if you have too many debts, you don't have to worry about it. It's like this anyway. Looking at this person, he doesn't seem generous. Why should I have to be submissive to him?"

The cloud guards smacked their lips, feeling as if it was really what the girl said.

It's time to get up, so of course Xiaoxiao wants to go out for a walk, especially after knowing through the NPC who stayed in Jihu Border Town that everything is stable there and her little brother has reunited with her mother.

She was going to see her little vegetable garden.

It is said to be a small vegetable garden, but now it is quite large. The seeds produced by the space are all high-yielding and high-quality. In addition to the big watermelon from before, the remaining potatoes, peanuts, etc. are also pulled in big bunches, and the yield is huge. The people who helped were all speechless.

It’s not that the soil here is completely incapable of growing anything, it’s just that the yield is so low that they can’t even be self-sufficient. They spent a lot of effort cultivating the land, but in the end they couldn’t even support themselves. After weighing this, the people naturally had no choice but to give up. Unrealistic plans.

If it weren't for His Majesty's consideration and the small taxes imposed on people outside the customs, they wouldn't know how they would survive.

It's not like they haven't thought about getting out of this impoverished desert, but without the customs clearance documents, where can they go?

They are not afraid of hardship or tiredness, but they are afraid of not being able to buy enough food to feed their families even if they earn a few coins.

The only thing that can thrive in this land is pasture, so the people in the border town don't raise chickens or ducks, they only herd sheep. No matter how fishy the mutton is, they can make a living. However, the vicious barbarians invade every year, and the first to be unlucky at that time are These are ordinary people.

They had to prevent the sheep from getting sick, prevent the sheep from getting lost, and prevent the sheep from being attacked by wolves. They took every precaution, but in the end they couldn't guard against the vicious man's scimitar.

For them, the outside world is not like home, but more like a cage, a cage with no hope.

So when people heard that someone wanted to buy their sheep at a high price, they suspected that there was something wrong with their ears.

The people in Guan are not used to drinking goat's milk or eating mutton. They have already planned to find another way out. Why is it suddenly clear?

After asking, they learned that the person who bought the sheep was the same person who had hired someone to farm the land.

Why did that little girl buy so many sheep?

Out of good intentions, the people who brought the sheep reminded her: "The mutton is not delicious, and no one wants the milk. At most, a merchant will come to collect the wool. Do you really want to buy so much?"

Xiaoxiao raised his head and looked at the simple and genuine expressions of concern on the part of the people. He tilted his head and smiled at them: "Thank you for your concern, uncle. Don't worry. That's all, maybe it's not enough."

The people accepted the money doubtfully and then listened to her crude explanation.

"Everyone has worked hard on the way here. Eat some melon to moisten your throat."

"This melon was grown in our experimental field."

"The experimental field is recruiting workers. Food and housing are included, and wages are not in arrears!"
