Jiang Xinyan looked at her embarrassed mother-in-law and knew how free and easy her grandmother was. "Buddha kept it in his heart that wine and meat have passed through his intestines. Master, don't be taboo in the future, just eat it!"

"Yan'er is right, Master has broken the precepts from now on." Master Jinghui calmly picked up the fish and ate it with relish.

How could she, a martial arts practitioner, endure a true vegetarian diet? She just didn't eat in front of everyone.

What's more, she has family concerns and has not kept her six roots pure at all. Her ancestor is a modern person.

The descendants of their Tianyi Valley are naturally different from the traditional ancients, and they inherit the free and easy nature of later generations in their bones.

"How do you cook this fish? It's very delicious, better than..." Master Jinghui wanted to say that it's much more delicious than the fish from their Penglai Island.

During the Chinese New Year, they had the New Year's Eve dinner together, and there were no taboos. Master Jinghui realized it and bluntly said, "It tastes much better than what I ate when I was a child."

"Master hasn't tasted meat for a long time, so it's normal to think it tastes good." Jiang Xinyan quickly answered to resolve the embarrassment.

"Yan'er taught them how to make these dishes. I have never tasted such delicious fish and vegetables in the palace before!"

The eldest princess was extremely proud, as if she had cooked this delicious dish. She diligently used serving chopsticks to pick up several different dishes and gave them to Master Jinghui.

"Master Tai, try this braised beef, this stewed beef offal with radish, and this seaweed moss, they are delicious."

The food on Penglai Island is already the best in the world, but Master Jinghui never expected that the food here would be even more delicious.

No wonder her cousin and grandnephew stayed here and refused to go back. She was so moved that she thought it was to take care of Yan'er!

She stopped talking and hurriedly lowered her head to eat. Jiang Xinyan did not expect that her gloomy grandmother was still an invisible foodie.

However, if you think about it, she is the most pampered eldest lady in the Valley of Heavenly Medicine, but she met a scumbag and was emotionally abused for half her life.

"Master, I will be kind to you in the future." Eat slowly, and I will give you good food every day from now on.

Master Jinghui was so moved when she heard her granddaughter's words that she didn't react because she ate too quickly.

The eldest princess and Jin Niang just thought that Master Jinghui had not eaten meat for a long time and that was why she ate in such a hurry, so they kindly helped her pick up the vegetables.

Although the food they eat every day is delicious, it is really a sin for Master to gobble it up like this.

Chu Lixuan would only pamper his wife with actions. He would not say any nice words in front of his family. His sweet words would only be whispered to his little wife.

The people at the table were quite harmonious, happily eating and chatting occasionally.

Everyone outside is also very happy, not because they don't have to work, but because their wives are getting haircut today.

This is a huge festive day for them. They are drunk and full of food, not that they don't usually have enough to eat.

Usually the food is sufficient, but there is no control over drunkenness. Occasionally, a small amount of wine is distributed in a ration, and those who have a good drinker can save it and wait for a day to drink enough.

After finishing the meal, Jiang Xinyan said to everyone: "My husband and I have been invited by the King of Zhenbei and are going out for a few days. Grandma and mother, please help me accompany my master to see around."

"Don't worry, Yan'er! Grandma will entertain Master Jinghui well. You should be careful on the road."

Chu Lixuan also told some matters that his subordinates should pay attention to. Their castle will not be built for at least two months.

We have already planted a wide area of ​​land to plant potatoes, and the snow was plowed years ago, so the entire snow-capped mountain has almost been cleared.

Inside the castle, all the hills, big and small, have been turned over, and everything is a prosperous scene.

Chu Lixuan went to the western border last night, talked with General Zhenxi for a long time, and gave them many potato seeds.

He also taught them how to plant and make delicious rice, and also gave them some rice seeds.

Especially the potatoes stewed with hunted wild boar ribs were fragrant, glutinous and sweet, making General Zhenxi want to swallow his tongue.

Not much food was provided. Apart from seeds, it was enough to have a full meal.

The Zhenxi Army and others can hunt and eat wild vegetables together. Although their lives are not very good, they will not die of hunger.

General Zhenxi expressed his gratitude to Chu Lixuan. Looking at the intact Marquis of Zhennan, he knew that he must be living a good life.

General Zhenxi was envious of his ability to help them during this period of famine. At the same time, he also remembered Chu Lixuan's kindness.

Although their generals who guard the border do not return to Beijing often, they know each other and pay attention to each other.

General Zhenxi just thought that Chu Lixuan had brought many powerful men and so many seeds were outside their military camp.

There are also supervisors in the Zhenxi military camp. There are no wars in normal times. They went back to the capital during the Chinese New Year. The military camp was too poor, so the supervisors did not return to the military camp so quickly.

The locust plague in Dongchen caused heavy losses, mainly due to the fact that many people outside the city starved to death, and few servants of aristocratic families starved to death.

After all, a disaster would not affect the rich, aristocratic families and officials, and they would still have surplus grain to donate to the court.

However, the war in the south broke out again, and all the food was supplied to the south. The Zhenxi Army had no military pay and had to find its own way.

Zhao Yu wanted to follow: "Sir, my subordinates will follow you. Can I take care of you on the way?"

"Zhao Yu, please help us take good care of our home. Don't go there this time. When the castle is built and there is no danger, we will take you out to have a look."

Jiang Xinyan thought she would have to persuade Zhao Yu earnestly for a long time, but as soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Yu happily said yes.

She forgot that this was in ancient times, and subordinates could only obey orders and had no right to bargain.

In the past, when the ice and snow had not melted, they could still use skis, but now they can only walk.

However, the couple had qinggong skills, so they were naturally faster than a horse-drawn carriage, and their castle was located along the road for more than two hundred miles.

The two men used Qinggong and looked around. There were military camps built around the castle, each with ten thousand people.

They currently have nearly 60,000 people, including 10,000 farmers and handymen, 2,000 snow wolves, 3,000 Zhao Yu, and more than 1,000 craftsmen.

There are also some people who are inquiring about information. Jiang Xinyan feels that the manpower is not enough. She also wants to establish a transportation team and people to do business.

Where there are people, if you want to be prosperous, there must be trade. Where there is trade, there must be people doing business.

"Xinxin, what are you thinking about? Why are you unhappy?" Chu Lixuan did not guess what she was thinking this time.

"Husband, why do I feel that we don't have enough manpower?"

"That's enough for now. After our castle is built, people will come to seek refuge. Then we will just pick some suitable people to take in."

Chu Lixuan explained patiently, "In addition, Chu Yi and his family are also here on the way, as well as the families of other soldiers."
