Main knew immediately that Jiang Zhuozhuo was back and brought back two gulls, which were said to look like a mother and son.
"Your Highness."
Main came out to greet Jiang Zhuozhuo in person, and other maids followed behind her. Even if Jiang Zhuozhuo doesn't follow the rules at all, and even says that she wants to "visit privately incognito" when she goes out, she still has to put on a show for Jiang Zhuozhuo in front of outsiders, and she can't let anyone underestimate Jiang Zhuozhuo, the lord.
This posture really frightened the two gulls, who were already in a dream, to the point where they did not dare to fly down again.
Jiang Zhuozhuo flew towards Main like a small cannonball, landed on Main's shoulder and chirped to tell her about Moji's talent in planting.
She feels that such talents who have the perseverance to work hard in a certain field are worth recruiting!
This is the first time Jiang Zhuozhuo has proposed to recruit talents, so Main will not neglect him.
She smiled and asked for Moji and his son to be invited down.
Soon, the two gulls landed nervously and turned into a very reserved mother and son.
Main smiled at Moji and his son, and asked them to draft a contract according to Jiang Zhuozhuo's wishes while inviting them inside to talk.
There is a special reception area in the castle. Even if it is not Jiang Zhuozhuo's living area, it is still decorated elegantly and richly.
Moji, mother and son, looked at the shiny floor, always worried that they would get it dirty if they stepped on it, wishing they could transform into gulls and fly over.
This is also a characteristic of the bird people. Every time they are nervous, they can't help but have the idea of turning into a bird.
Probably maintaining the bird form makes them feel closer to the Mother Goddess and makes them feel more secure.
Every time sailors return to their hometown docks, most of them turn into gulls and land on the ground.
It's like a child jumping into its mother's arms.
Main smiled and said: "Since you are going to work for His Highness, I should introduce you to him." She glanced at the little round bird who was pecking at her share of the fruit platter, "You are our Ninth Highness, and so are you. The current lord of Fertile Province. ”
Moji, mother and son, looked at Jiang Zhuozhuo in disbelief.
The little round bird was spitting the melon kernels to the edge of the plate in a very civilized manner. It did not spit out the melon kernels like those unqualified birds.
She felt everyone's gazes on her, and looked back in confusion, her dark eyes full of questions: What's wrong? Why are you all looking at me like that?
Moji immediately understood why the new lord didn't increase taxes after they arrived, and why the new lord set the price of braised beans so low.
It turns out that the little round bird in front of them is their new lord!
She seemed to be underage, and for a bird of this age, it was likely that she had neither ambition nor greed. Later...
Moji restrained his overly pessimistic thoughts in time.
No matter what, now they all benefited greatly from the lord's kindness.
At least before this return trip, he had never imagined that he would be able to soar above the snow-capped fields with his mother in such a cold winter.
Moji stood up with his mother, solemnly put his hands on his chest, and gave a very standard salute to Jiang Zhuozhuo.
This is what the captain has specially trained for them, saying that they must express their respect in this way when they see people of status and status outside.
Seeing that they were all so serious, Jiang Zhuozhuo also transformed into a human form to meet them.
She has black hair and black eyes that are rare on several continents. To be precise, her eyes are a little amber, exactly the same as her original appearance.
Jiang Zhuozhuo invited with a smile: "It's almost time for dinner, you guys should have some together, and then go back and bring the things here. By the way, if you know anyone with special talents, you can recommend them to me."
Moji's mother asked anxiously: "What is a special talent?"
Jiang Zhuozhuo said: "It's people like Moji who can plant and breed." She was very interested, "For example, you can tell which mushrooms are edible, and you can also find ways to cultivate them in batches!"
Although it’s still winter and the mushrooms probably haven’t grown yet, as the saying goes, people have to take a long-term view!
If you don’t start preparing now, how can you eat the most fragrant mushrooms in the most suitable season? It is not advisable to eat wild mushrooms indiscriminately. We still need to develop the technology of artificially cultivating edible mushrooms.
She didn't just want to eat the fungi, she wanted to study what beneficial effects the fungi could have!
Chiliu!
Moji asked uncertainly: "Are the mushrooms you are talking about the kind that may cause convulsions, madness, or even death from poisoning if eaten?"
Jiang Zhuozhuo:.
No, why are you in another world? You have to lie down after eating fungi.
Even the symptoms are exactly the same!
As expected of a plant lover who is committed to becoming a botanist in the Eastern Continent, he even knows the characteristics of toadstools.
When Jiang Zhuozhuo received Main's gaze, he wanted to turn into a bird and run away.
Main tried his best to maintain his smile, and asked Jiang Zhuozhuo in a gentle tone: "Is Your Highness planning to test the poison with yourself?"
Danger!
The last time Main showed such a scary smile was the last time!
Jiang Zhuozhuo argued wildly: "No, what I want to eat is edible fungi. They are said to be artificially cultivated. They are definitely not poisonous fungi of unknown origin!!"
Seeing her guilty look, Main secretly added an item to today's schedule: He would go to Helena later and tell her not to cook fungi of unknown origin for His Highness.
As for whether there are edible mushrooms like Jiang Zhuozhuo said in the world, we still have to see first.
Mushrooms are not introduced in the "Imperial Plant Illustrated Book"!
For sour fruits like campanula, everyone knows that eating them in small amounts is good, but eating too much is harmful to the body - but it is only harmful and will not directly cause death.
Mushrooms have an immediate effect on killing people.
They cannot gamble their lives on luck.
Main smiled apologetically at Moji and his son, and took Jiang Zhuozhuo to another place for ideological education.
It wasn't that she thought she could teach Jiang Zhuozhuo a lesson because of her young age, but as the territorial adjutant, she had the duty of admonishing her.
Moji, mother and son, looked at each other, faintly catching a glimpse of Adjutant Main's... helplessness?
If there are people around you who are obsessed with eating mushrooms, they will definitely have a headache!
That can kill people!
The two of them were wondering whether they should wait any longer when they saw an old man in a silver-gray coat walking in.
The other person had meticulously combed silver hair, and the wrinkles on his face were drooping. He looked like an unsmiling person. Moji, mother and son, hurriedly saluted each other in unison.
The person who came was naturally Lao Lu. Ever since he had a meal here, he no longer had his meals delivered to him alone.
Leng Buding saw two unfamiliar faces here. Lao Lu originally wanted to turn around and leave, but the other party was already saluting him. As a staid old man who considers himself a gentleman, Lao Lu cannot yet leave others alone when others show respect for him.
After thinking about it, Lao Lu invited the other party to sit down together and asked curiously: "Who are you? Why are you the only one here?"
Mo Ji truthfully told the other party his origins, and talked about Jiang Zhuozhuo being temporarily taken away by Lieutenant Main.
Lao Lu is still different from ordinary nobles. When he presides over construction projects, he will come into contact with many civilians, and he is not as arrogant towards ordinary people as other nobles. His focus fell on the next thing: "Are mushrooms really so delicious?"
It was so delicious that even Jiang Zhuozhuo, who was so good at eating, wanted to risk his life to take a bite!
Moji: "..."
Lao Lu's idea is that if ordinary people eat something that will kill them, they may not die if they eat it.
After all, many ordinary people can't even think about going out in winter. It's normal to be unable to handle the toxicity of mushrooms.
They are different. They have been blessed by the Mother Goddess. Someone like him who has lived for more than three hundred years has been blessed by the Mother Goddess three times, and his physique is much stronger than ordinary people!
For ordinary people, many will die before they can reach the age where they can receive the blessing of the Mother Goddess.
Lao Lu has brought out so many engineering teams that he has used smoothly, and he has sent away many old friends. He would occasionally dream about the time when he was young, laughing and drinking with people in the middle of the night. When he woke up, he would often find that... he could no longer remember the appearance of those people.
Perhaps this is the downside of living too long.
On the other hand, many annoying people never die, and they look at each other year after year.
That's too far.
All in all, Lao Lu believes that ordinary people cannot eat mushrooms because they are not good at it, and he can certainly eat them.
Moji: “…………”
No wonder I heard people say that there is a hospital in the imperial capital that specializes in treating food poisoning. It seems that there are quite a few people like their lord who know it is poisonous but want to risk their lives to try it!
Moji said: "I haven't eaten it either, so I don't know if it tastes good or not."
Moji's mother said: "I...I may have eaten it."
Lao Lu's eyes immediately fell on Moji's mother.
Moji's mother said: "That happened when I was a child. At that time, my sister had just broken out of her shell. For some reason, my mother was immersed in sadness every day, saying that people like us would only be born to suffer."
< br>
"So one day she made us a pot of delicious soup. It tasted very delicious. I had sweet dreams all night after drinking it."
Moji's mother looked a little sad: "We woke up the next morning, but my mother didn't wake up."
Moji said: "Mom, why have I never heard you talk about it?"
Moji's mother said: "According to the elders, it is not good for others to know about such things. If someone knew that my mother wanted to take us to die together, others would look down on my father and us."
< br>
Moji thought of the stooped old man he had met several times when he was a child. He looked very thin and had a very withdrawn temperament. Every time they passed by, he could always be seen looking in the direction of the forest, lost in thought.
The children didn't understand anything. They just felt that this man was not easy to get close to, and the two brothers did not like to go with their mother to see this strange grandfather.
Mother noticed this and didn't force them. She just called her aunt to come with them.
Later, my grandfather died.
Moji felt very sad. He never knew that such a past event existed.
After listening to the conversation between mother and son, Lao Lu didn't feel much in his heart.
He had seen too many deaths to be touched by something like this again.
Lao Lu's eyes turned to the door not far away.
The door opened in the next moment, and Jiang Zhuozhuo and the two walked out.
Jiang Zhuozhuo, who had just been trained, was obviously a little tired.
Lao Lu was about to ask "What should we eat today" when the old woman next to him summoned up the courage to speak before him: "Your Highness, maybe my sister can try what you said."
< br>
"She has never been married. She has lived alone in the forest for these years. I once found her cultivating mushrooms in private."
She didn't understand her sister's behavior at first.
Later, the two sisters hugged each other and cried for a long time on the day their father was buried, and the younger sister confided her thoughts to her——
If this thing could only retain the taste that is so delicious that it makes people have sweet dreams without poisoning people to death, my mother might be able to get rid of her sorrow and live a good life after that day.
It was then that Moji's mother realized that it was not only their father, but also her sister who had never come out of that nightmare.
It was a rare opportunity like this, and she also wanted to help her sister get out of the forest—and out of the haze of the past.
Moji's mother said: "She should have mastered the method of cultivating edible mushrooms."
Jiang Zhuozhuo's eyes lit up, and the whole bird became nervous again.
What?
She just gave a random example, but it turned out that there are actually talents in this field?
Could it be that the whole family in front of me has some Shennong blood in them? !
How lucky she is!
Fungal freedom is just around the corner!
Seeing that Jiang Zhuozhuo was eager to try again, Lao Lu immediately explained his theory to Jiang Zhuozhuo to the effect that "it's their business if they can't eat it, and it will be fine if we eat it." He actively expressed that he would be included if he started eating. share.
Jiang Zhuozhuo nodded repeatedly.
Yes, that’s it!
Reasonable and convincing!
Main: "…………"
Tired, destroy it:)
