Little Lord

Jiang Zhuozhuo's suggestion of "eating a bite of steamed bun and a bite of bacteria" was ruthlessly rejected. He did not test the edge of danger again, but began to use his scientific knowledge that he had not completely discarded to discuss with Horveler how the steamed buns actually worked.

According to the controlled variable method, the effects of flour, fillings and cooking methods can be considered separately!
Why not try vegetarian buns today to see if they are useful to you!

"It's a pity that I just finished eating the fried buns, otherwise I could try to see if the fried buns have any effect."

Jiang Zhuozhuo thought of his "long-term plan" and enthusiastically told Huo Weiler how to make fried buns.

The fried buns do not need to be steamed, they can be made into small pieces, one bite at a time. Fry the small buns for a while, then pour in the pre-mixed flour water. This step is very important, as it will make the bottom of each bun crispy and fragrant!
Considering that he had already eaten a lot of fried buns today, Jiang Zhuozhuo directly helped Huo Weiler make arrangements: "Let's control the fillings today, and let you try the fried buns tomorrow. The food will not be so fresh if it is left overnight!"

When Howell first heard about the "control variable method", he thought that this method had clear logic and could be used in many places.

But after listening to Jiang Zhuozhuo's complete "experimental plan", he fell silent.

I always feel that the way I opened my eyes was not right, otherwise why were the things I encountered after waking up so absurd and bizarre?

Maine smiled and waited for Little Round Bird to finish arranging the meals for the wounded for the next few days before he told Jiang Zhuozhuo about what Howell had mentioned.

"Mr. Höveler Heitlinger wishes to stay here with his four subordinates. Is Your Highness willing to accept them?"

No matter how many unreliable ideas Jiang Zhuozhuo has, she is the ninth princess of the empire and the lord of the Woye Province. Such an important matter must of course be decided with her consent.

After several of his subordinates woke up and had a closed-door discussion with them, Hoville came to Maine in person to ask for permission to stay in the Fertile Province.

He made no secret of why he wanted to stay.

Smart people can see how tense the situation in the imperial capital is. It is not uncommon for people who don't want to get involved to choose to stay away from the imperial capital.

Maine himself also bypassed invitations from all parties and chose to follow Jiang Zhuozhuo to Woye Province.

Huo Weiler looked at Jiang Zhuozhuo.

The little round bird had a serious face, as if it was seriously considering this important issue.

For a moment, Howell felt more nervous than ever before (for a job interview).

Things are different now. He no longer has the support of his family and has resigned from his position in the Royal Knights. He is no longer the young genius that everyone admires.

It may also bring trouble to this territory which is not particularly wealthy (it can even be said to be poor).

As such, even if he asked to stay here and play, he would probably be rejected.

The room was quiet for a while before the little round bird finally spoke in a serious tone: "If all five of you stay, how much salary do you want per month?"

She did not forget what Maine had said, that their Fertile Province was in financial difficulty and could not afford to pay the alchemist's salary.

As Hoveler mentioned earlier, he has a house in the royal capital, which he bought with his salary from the Royal Knights.

Think about it, a young man who has only worked for a few years can buy a house in the prosperous area of ​​the capital (Jiang Zhuozhuo glanced at the address) without any support from his family...

What does this mean?
This means that knights of this level are definitely money-eating beasts!

Whether recruiting or applying for a job, isn’t the most important issue salary and benefits?
This needs to be clarified first.

Their poor territory has no money to hire!

Hoville was silent for a while.

He had never thought about this question.

I never thought that a princess would have to consider such a question.

Is His Majesty too harsh on the Ninth Princess? He couldn't help but wonder.

However, thinking about the Ninth Princess's previous situation, Howler also knew that there was nothing wrong with Her Majesty the Queen making such a choice.

If a large amount of resources were put into a "premature" child who couldn't even transform into a human and obviously couldn't control his own territory, even Her Majesty the Queen would probably be criticized.

Hoville was not here to talk on his own behalf, so he thought carefully before saying, "We just need the treatment of an ordinary knight. Also, we have already owed a lot of medical expenses during this period, and there is no guarantee that we can go on a mission immediately in the next month..."

"So we don't need any salary for the next year to repay the medical expenses that His Highness has paid for us during this period."

"What do you think, Your Highness?"

When Jiang Zhuozhuo heard this, he was surprised that this person actually volunteered to work for free for a year!
Moreover, he said that he was working for free just to pay back the medical expenses, and he did not say that it was to repay the "life-saving grace" he mentioned before, which shows that he will find a way to repay her in the future.

There are such honest people in the world!
Jiang Zhuozhuo couldn't help but glance at Maine.

The look in his eyes meant "If I agree right away, would it seem like I'm such a coward?"

It’s everyone’s instinct to be unable to move when you hear that it’s free, right?
This is innate and has nothing to do with her.

Maine knew Jiang Zhuozhuo's crazy excitement, and said with a smile: "The medical expenses you owe are not much. When the bill is calculated, we can deduct it from next year's year-end bonus. You still have to get the salary you are supposed to get. After all, you didn't bring anything with you, so you have to have some money on you."

"It's just that the territory's finances are not abundant right now, so we can't pay you the same salary as the Imperial Capital. We'll have to wait until the territory develops before we can raise your salary."

Howeller thought of his subordinates who would cry about not having money to eat at the end of every month, so he nodded and did not refuse.

It was they who needed to stay, not the Woye Province. Even if there is a gap in treatment, it is something they should overcome on their own.

The two parties have reached a preliminary agreement on the transfer, but have not yet formally signed a contract.

Because we still have to wait for the Imperial Capital to approve Howell and others' transfer applications.

Several people unanimously decided to conceal from the Imperial Capital the possibility that Howler and his team had controlled the "Blue Mist". Anyway, there were no people poisoned by the "Blue Mist" waiting for help elsewhere, so they just had to figure out a way to detoxify it themselves.

Since it was confirmed that Howiller and the others would stay, Jiang Zhuozhuo excitedly took a bunch of delicious food to comfort the other wounded soldiers.

There are not only vegetarian buns, but also freshly steamed glutinous rice and vegetable buns and freshly-made pancakes for you to try.

These are all the new dishes Jiang Zhuozhuo ordered in the evening.

In order to provide three meals a day for so many people in the castle, the kitchen had dough that had been fermented almost all day long, and buns and other pastries could be made at any time. Jiang Zhuozhu actively introduced how to eat each food to Huo Weiler and the others.

Although each food can be eaten as a staple food, she can still eat them all as long as she eats a little bit of each!

Having personally picked so many fresh vegetables and mushrooms today, Jiang Zhuozhuo decided to indulge in some thin wraps first.

The best thing about the burrito is that you can roll it yourself, with whatever fillings you like, and as many flavors as you want!
It was the first time that Luke and his companions met Jiang Zhuozhuo. They felt a little ashamed when they saw her teaching them how to roll pancakes in person without any airs.

Because before this, when they passed through Woye Province, most of them did not take the Ninth Princess seriously.

Luke was even taught a lesson by Horweiler for his rude words.

Who could have imagined that not long after that they would be in danger of death and would need to rely on the Ninth Princess for help.

Several people followed Jiang Zhuozhuo's example and took the dough to roll the fillings and eat them. Compared with steamed buns, this thin dough tasted different whether it was rolled with meat or vegetarian fillings.

Jiang Zhuozhuo rolled two pieces of dough and felt it was time to try something else.

But she still remembered that she came here to comfort the wounded, so she turned around and asked about the situation of Huo Weiler and the others with concern: "The flour used in these pancakes is similar to the flour used in buns. Can eating them help you suppress the toxicity of the 'blue mist'?"

When a knight is training, he needs to mobilize the blood, bones and muscles throughout his body and is most sensitive to changes in his body. The beneficial effects of many foods are first felt in the knight camp.

The same goes for Hoville and the others.

Several people were originally immersed in this fresh food, but when they heard the words, they remembered that there was still a kind of poison suppressed in their bodies.

Hoveler quickly gave a definitive answer: “There is no such effect.”

Jiang Zhuozhuo invited them to try more and they were surprised to find that no matter what the filling was... the buns could suppress the toxicity of the "blue mist".

And you can’t just eat the filling, you can just eat the skin!
Without even waiting for the next day, Jiang Zhuozhuo had almost come to the conclusion: Could it be that this detoxification effect actually came from the mysterious reaction between the steamer and the flour?
No wonder no one has ever dealt with this poison, because the material for making the steamer was what Jiang Zhuozhuo picked out when he went to Hongye Province!

Even though the two provinces are not far apart, no one has ever used this thing to make a steamer, and then grind the barley into flour to make various pasta!
—Not to mention that another person who has been hit by the “blue fog” would have to eat it by accident.

You know, if it weren't for Howiller and his men's extremely strong physique, they would have probably died of poisoning on the day they were invaded by the "blue mist".

I can only say that this process requires a lot of luck.

Jiang Zhuozhuo suddenly became proud.

She has always been lucky!
If she wasn't so lucky, how could she have chosen her steamer (materials) at first sight in Hongye Province!

Back then, her grandmother could use the bamboo steamer she wove herself to steam everything for her, including rice, vegetables, buns, and dumplings... What she looked forward to most when she ran home from school every day was to open the steamer and see what she would eat that day through the rising steam.

The nose eats it before the mouth does.

Fragrant!
I remember that fish steamed in a steamer was particularly delicious. The fish meat had a natural bamboo fragrance and was not fishy at all.

She never expected that one day the steamer her grandmother taught her to make when she was a child would have such a great use.

Could it be that grandma is blessing her in heaven?
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhuozhuo tightened his ears.

I always feel that if her grandmother knew that she was asking for trouble and turned herself into a bird, she would definitely pull her ears and scold her for a long time.

Dangerous!
……

After nightfall, Jiang Zhuozhuo rarely went to bed early. Instead, he turned into a small round bird, squatted at the highest point of the castle, and looked up at the dark sky.

The moon is so round.

She misses her grandma a little.

"Your Highness."

Maine's voice sounded from behind.

The little round bird turned its head and looked back, and saw a white owl standing there, looking at her with concern.

The owl's fur is thick and white, even its claws are furry. It looks very warm and I want to bury myself in it!

The little round bird quietly moved closer and went into Maine's arms.

Then rubbed it quietly.

Wow!

It worked!
Maine paused, but ultimately did not back away.

Anna said that Jiang Zhuozhuo was in a bad mood after dinner.

After listening to Anna's report, she watched from a distance for a long time, and went over in her mind the words that many predecessors had told her about how to get along with the princess. In the end... she chose to fly up to comfort the little round bird that suddenly seemed so lonely for some reason.

Since they have already left the world of fame and fortune in the imperial capital, why should they be so cautious about everything?
……

Under the moonlight, Horvel was talking with several of his subordinates in the empty training ground.

The discussion mainly focuses on the issue of how to get along with everyone in the Knight Camp in the future.

As the conversation was coming to an end, Luke, who was the most lively, noticed two birds on the castle dome in the distance and couldn't help but stretch his neck to look over there.

He nudged Horville next to him with his wing and said, "Look, isn't that Her Royal Highness the Princess and Adjutant Maine?"

Howell had very good eyesight. Even from such a distance, he could see the familiar little round bird after the white owl flew to the dome... the bird was sneaking into someone's feathers and rubbing against them?
Hoville: "..."

I always feel that this Adjutant Maine is already a mother to a little kid even before she gets married.
