When Leng Qiyue heard this, she hurriedly rushed over to cover Die Die's mouth, cursing, "Stupid girl, you actually said I brought a green hat to the emperor. That would be a nine familial extermination."

Xiao Die broke apart Leng Qiyue's hand and said, "Empress's expression makes people feel that something is wrong with you two."

Leng Qiyue sat back down and then scolded, "You've only been a human for a few days, do you know what the situation is? "Ahhh!"

Xiao Die laughed, "Although I haven't been a long time, I have read a lot of books. Of course I know."

Leng Qi Yue rolled her eyes at her. She really didn't know what book this butterfly monster had read.

Four hours later, they saw a huge stone tablet in front of them with the words "Gu Yu Town" written on it. It looked like there were a lot of people going in and out of the city, but every one of them was carrying a bunch of animals.

When he entered the town, the mayor had long since heard the news and rushed out to receive him.

Leng Qiyue opened the curtain of the carriage and saw Yan Su talking to a white-haired old man. The old man had a troubled expression at first, but when he saw the banknotes, he immediately smiled and led them to a large courtyard to rest.

Yan Su deployed some soldiers to follow the old man. Leng Qiyue jumped down from the carriage and stretched her muscles. She said to the other leading man, "I'll take a walk around the town and return in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. You guys keep an eye on the food truck."

That person didn't dare to stop them as he stood obediently at the entrance of the courtyard.

Leng Qiyue took out a silk scarf to cover her face, then pulled Die along to the street.

The town of Guyu wasn't exactly rich, but it was also well-off. It was just that many beggars had come to beg because of the flood along the Lishan River. Although the shops on the street were open, very few people went in and out. However, the livestock here were all well-fed and healthy, and the price of the food they asked was also half of the price in the capital.

As for the wheat, it was everywhere, and it was not used as food at all. Leng Qiyue found a mini shop and sat down.

Seeing that a customer had arrived, the waiter enthusiastically ran over and wiped down the table, then said with a fawning smile, "What do the two ladies want to eat? "Don't look at how small this restaurant is, there are all kinds of rice cakes here."

Leng Qiyue asked, "Do you have any pastries made from flour?"

The waiter smiled and said, "Yes, they are all fine grinded pasta. Does Miss want to try them?"

"En, I'll give you all the pastries made from flour one serving each."

"Alright, please wait a moment miss." The waiter eagerly ran down the stairs.

Not long after, eight plates of pasta were placed on the table. Although the pasta was exquisite, it was still fried. No wonder no one had eaten it. Wheat is cheap, but oil is expensive!

Leng Qiyue greeted the waiter, "Waiter, do you have any pastries and steamed buns?"

The waiter had a blank look on his face as he said, "Miss, what is a steamed bun? We can make the bread, but it's so dry that it doesn't taste good! "

Leng Qiyue felt a headache. In this era, there was no steamed bun. It seemed that they did not know how to make hairstyle. No wonder he had never eaten a steamed bun and only eaten noodles a few times when he was here.

She waved her hand and the waiter left. Xiao Die said while eating the snacks, "These are too oily, they don't taste good."

Leng Qiyue nodded her head and had the waiter pack up the pastries and order a piece of dough for her to use for the noodles. After paying the silver, she prepared to go back. She saw an old woman by the side of the road begging with her emaciated granddaughter, so she gave them all the snacks in her hand. As a result, it resonated with the other beggars and they all came up to ask for it. Leng Qiyue had no choice but to drop a handful of copper coins and run back to the courtyard while they bent over to snatch it.

Fortunately, Yan Su had not come back yet. Otherwise, he would have to listen to his lecture again.

After waiting for an hour, Yan Su returned. He reported, "Reporting to Niangniang, all 30,000 catties of wheat have been gathered."

"Yes, guard Yan. How long are we going to Linjiang?"

"If we don't delay the journey, we can get there in two days."

"Alright, go check the cart. Bring the rice down and load it with wheat."

"Fake rice?" This time, Yan Su was no longer serious. His face was full of surprise.

"If I tell you to go, then go." Leng Qiyue snorted.

Yan Su quickly responded and went to check the food cart. He threw the fake food away and loaded it with wheat. Yan Su's face was now dark! It was comparable to the power of a bag.

When the wheat was loaded, there was not enough traffic, but fortunately, he had bought a few more carriages from the mayor and was barely able to make it this way.

Outside the town, Leng Qiyue saw a large area of wheat fields. According to the climate here, wheat could be collected three times a year and rice could be harvested twice. No wonder wheat was cheaper than rice.

Yan Su did not know what he was thinking, but he suddenly steered the horse to ride with the horse carriage. He cupped his hands and said, "May the Empress punish the crime."

Leng Qiyue strangely lifted the curtain of the carriage and asked, "Punishment?" "What crime?"

Yan Su said, "Your servant was unable to accept the food, causing the Empress to be unable to report this matter. Your servant is willing to die to apologize for it."

Leng Qiyue laughed, "Oh, so that's how it is. You owe me your life then, do you understand? Let's talk about this later. Let's hurry on our way, I believe that person will not make any more moves. " With that, she put down the curtain and dozed off.

Although Yan Su didn't know who the person Leng Qiyue was talking about was, he could guess that this matter was handled by someone of high status. Otherwise, he wouldn't have fooled him.

Leng Qiyue's guess was right. The empress dowager received a message from a pigeon and laughed for a long time after reading it.

Lin Fei asked curiously, "Esteemed empress dowager, what's the matter?" Seeing you smile so happily? "

The empress dowager stopped smiling and said, "That slut discovered that the grain had been swapped. She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to hand it over properly, so she purchased a large amount of wheat."

"Wheat?" Isn't that supposed to be an animal feed? Is she going to feed the victims as animals? " Lin Fei also laughed.

The Empress Dowager nodded. "That's right. A lowly family can't afford to eat rice and eat wheat, so it's no wonder. She was born with a lowly background, so how could she know that giving someone wheat was an insult?"

Lin Fei snickered, her eyes filled with anticipation, almost as if she had seen Leng Qiyue make a fool of herself.

The empress dowager continued, "Tell them not to be stopped on the way. This one wants to see how that slut ends up, hehe … "

Lin Fei also smiled along, tacitly agreeing with the empress dowager.

On the other side, Leng Qiyue continued to march towards Linjiang in a grandiose manner. Since nothing happened along the way, Leng Qiyue actually felt bored. Therefore, she found a pen and paper to draw the design, preparing to make a noodles quickly.

Xiao Die did not understand, she could only see Leng Qiyue finish her drawing, tear off if she was not satisfied with it, and continue to draw. She had been busy all afternoon when she finally let out a cry of joy. "That's great! That's it!"

Die looked at the blueprint and there was a strange thing painted on it.

Leng Qiyue smiled and said, "Look at this place, it's empty. Put the dough inside and press down the long arm above. That way, the dough can be squeezed out from the hole below. How about it? Is my fast press good? "

Xiao Die asked with a blank expression, "What is noodles?"

Leng Qiyue really wanted to slap him. She didn't even know what a lousy place it was or what kind of noodles it was. She patiently explained, "It is to grind the wheat into flour, add some water and make dough …"

Die interrupted, "I know, dough is made of flour."

Leng Qiyue gritted her teeth so hard that they made a gurgling sound. Xiao Die stuck out her tongue and did not say anything.

Leng Qiyue took a deep breath and continued, "The dough will become thin through extrusion. It will come out from the hole in the bottom one by one, and that will be the noodles." After boiling it in boiling water, it will be very tasty. Do you want to eat it? "

Xiao Die heard that it was delicious and immediately drooled. "Esteemed wangfei, how delicious is it?"

Leng Qiyue shot a chestnut at Xiao Die and scolded her with a smile, "I, your Young Empress, cannot eat it."

Xiao Die covered her head and giggled, "Your highness, your servant really wants to eat. Now we have so much wheat, so you don't have to be afraid to cook at all."

As Leng Qiyue thought of this, her stomach rumbled. It had been a long time since she had last eaten; her appetite was truly flustered. She pulled back the curtain and peeked out at the cart. The majestic carriage was quite spectacular. Just at that moment, she suddenly thought of another question. She turned around and said, "Crap, I actually forgot something important. Hurry up and call guard Yan over, quick …"
