"Get up." He is still the same indifferent look of pampering and unfazed.

"Lord Wang, you are here, I won't hide it from you, this Bilian Village is not very supportive." Li Zhengdao is also this poor country, why did he, a high-ranking prince, come here if he has nothing to do?

"I'm the prince, it's good if you know."

"Don't worry, the old man won't say it to others." Li Zhengdao, he didn't ask much, after all, the prince was the lord of Qiuzhou, why did he need to know so clearly?

"Okay, Lizheng, in fact, we came here for something." Yuan Qing took over and said.

Hearing this, Zhang Li was looking at this girl, who was she? Could it be the princess? No matter who she is, the people who are qualified to stand next to the prince are the ones he can't afford to mess with. At the moment, Li Zheng, who was admired, was also smiling at Yuan Qing.

With the title of Wang Ye here, I will get the village official Lizheng in minutes.

Bilian Village is also relatively poor, most of the people in the village have no jobs, there is no way, there is little land and many people, there is nowhere to work to make money. When they heard the news, they rejoiced in their hearts.

The news is this: digging coal.

Although I don't understand what coal is, and I don't understand why I want to dig coal, it's good to have money to earn.

The place where the coal is dug is not far from the foot of the mountain in the north of the village, digging coal does not need brains, only strength, for the strong men in the village they have strength, but to ask them to write a word, it is as difficult as letting them bathe in the river on a snowy day.

Those who volunteered to dig coal signed up a day later in the house where Yuan Li and the others lived.

This news was released by Zhang Lizheng, who received respect, and his prestige in Bilian Village was still relatively high, so no one doubted that this news was fake. The news came through the village in an instant.

"Digging coal? I heard that I can get a tael of silver a month. A man said.

"Well, anyway, we don't have any land to plant at home, so we might as well dig coal."

"Yes, just take some underground at my house, plant it for a day or two, and then there will be nothing to do. Sitting at home every day and looking forward to the crops growing up, it is better to dig coal, and besides, the coal digging site is not far from home. You can still get paid, and the work at home can be left to women, and we old men should also go to earn some money. ”

As a result, most of the strong men in Bilian Village openly and secretly decided to sign up to dig coal.

The next day, a lot of people came to the small courtyard.

Yuan Qing felt that Li Chen's appearance was really the focus of attention of the whole village, since they announced that they were going to recruit people to dig coal. There are a large number of women who come to their house, some come to visit the door, and some come to take the lead for their men, for fear that their men will "lose", but there are also women who are here to see handsome guys.

According to Li Chen's temperament, he would definitely not meet those women, and it would be bitter for Yuan Qing now, she was busy dealing with this group of women all day long......

It's really a shame.

"Miss Yuan, what's your father-in-law's name?" A woman asked curiously.

Yuan Qing almost fainted to the ground, when did he become my father-in-law. I want to explain. The woman said again: "Miss Yuan, don't misunderstand, I'm just curious, and I will never rob you of the princess." ”

Give me a good time with a knife, Yuan Qing wailed in his heart, "You have misunderstood, I am not husband and wife with him." ”

"Not a couple? So what are you? A woman asked.

What is "En......"? Yuan Qing carefully analyzed in his mind, the most important festival in ancient times, if you are not a family, lonely men and widows live in the same room, is this going to make trouble?

"Are you brother and sister?" A humane.

"Not really." My brother is like a god. My sister is good-looking at best, and the genetic difference can't be so big.

Yuan Qing was one head and two big, and his heart was crossed: "Since you know that we are husband and wife, you still come to our house to see him every day." Don't you get angry when a group of women come to see him every day? ”

Hearing this, everyone lowered their heads and said nothing.

"I'm going home to feed the chickens, so I'll go first." A woman said.

"I'm afraid my pigs are hungry too, so I'll go home first."

Next. The women went home one after another.

The hall that had been noisy just now was finally quiet.

"Is that method still quite effective?" Li Chen looked at Yuan Qing with a smile and said in a flat tone.

"Me, that's just expediency." Yuan Qing met his unfathomable eyes and said this, but his face was a wry smile.

So these two people are husband and wife in the eyes of the villagers. Or a newlywed couple coveted by everyone. There's no way, Li Chen is good-looking, and Yuan Qing is not ugly.

Next, there are more and more strong men who come here to sign up.

"What's your name?" Yuan Qing sat on the table, holding a hard pen in his hand, the tip of which was dipped in ink, ready to write on the white paper.

"Zhang Daming." The man said.

"Where do you live? Do you have a wife and children at home? Yuan Qing asked again.

"I live in the south of Bilian Village, I just got a daughter-in-law the year before last, and I gave birth to a girl in March last year, and only my father is left in the family." The man said.

"Well, you've passed." Yuan Qing interviewed all the strong men who came here step by step. Asking them if they have a family burden is a must, and if they have a place to live.

After all, if there is no one to cook with them, it will not be easy to live for a long time. They were all from the village, they all had a place to live, some bachelors, and they had no one at home to cook for them......

Let's go with the facts. There are some things that you can't think of and can't think of.

Today, a total of more than 60 strong men have been recruited.

In the evening, Yuan Qing patted her sore waist, stretched her waist, and exhaled turbidity, and suddenly a heavy smell of fire smoke penetrated into her nose, and the next moment she coughed violently.

"Ahem, what's wrong, is the house burning?" She frowned, got up and walked outside the house, and looked around, there was no fire anywhere, why was it still choking, ah, she sneezed again, and as a result, the kitchen seemed to be on fire.

The kitchen, a small room, billowing smoke floated out of the window door, Yuan Qing was startled, and shouted loudly, "It's on fire, it's on fire...... and then she quickly ran to the kitchen, wanting to see who was setting the fire.

"Stop yelling, it's me." A super cold voice came from the kitchen, Nima, was this tone made by someone who was at the scene of the fire?

Sure enough, in the kitchen, it was not on fire, but a symbol of thick black smoke, before the fire.

Yuan Qing covered his nose with his sleeve, fanned away the smoke around his face with his other hand, and walked into the kitchen with a low body, and saw a slender man standing in the kitchen.

"Ahem, lord, what are you doing? Burning the house has to run out, right? Don't you smoke when you stand here, ahem. Yuan Qing's eyes were open, and a few tears were smoked.

"This fire is burning like this?" The man asked, crouching down and watching the fire on the stove come out. He just wanted to come and cook on the fire......

Yuan Qing was extremely surprised that he would ask this sentence. At this moment, the smoke cleared a lot, and she also squatted behind him, looking at this cold prince with wide eyes, how seriously he wanted to learn how to burn fire, a life that Yuan Qing had not been too sure of for so long.

"Ahem, this fire should be lit with flammable materials, are there any candles? Yes. There are no candles here, but what about the fire fold? Yuan Qingdao said.

"Only flint and steel." Li Chen shook the flint in his hand in front of Yuan Qing.

"Oh, flint and steel is fine." Yuan Qing nodded.

At this time, someone who heard Yuan Qing shouting that it was on fire hurriedly ran here, "Where is the fire?"

The man subconsciously ran to the kitchen, but the smoke in the kitchen had dispersed, and there was no trace of fire.

Subsequently, Yuan Qing lit the fire and gave Li Chen a lesson on how to make a fire. The fire was lit, but Yuan Qing really couldn't figure it out, what did the prince want to burn the fire for?

"Cook." Li Chen replied lightly.

Cook? "Will you do it?" Yuan Qing was puzzled.

"No, it won't." He shook his head.

Yuan Qing was really going to be laughed at by him. "Have you washed the rice? Rice should be washed first. Then, as if she had been fated, she lifted the lid of the pot, poured a few scoops of water into the pot, and then went to fetch rice.

"Will this fire continue to burn?" He asked.

"Definitely." She replied without looking back.

One person burns the fire, the other washes the rice, but there is also a kind of husband and wife who feel it......

Perhaps, no one would have thought that they would be as wise and martial as the noble prince of the gods, and one day they would cook in person...... It's shocking.

Yuan Qing's cooking skills are mediocre, but the food she cooks is also very good for her appetite, and it tastes good. When the two first came to Bilian Village, there was no land, and there was no place to buy vegetables near here...... Eating vegetables has become a big problem for them.

Therefore, the dishes on their dinner table are all dried vegetables, that is, the kind of vegetables that are dried in the sun, such as: dried mushrooms, dried radish, dried eggplant or something, in short, the kind of dried vegetables that can be fried and eaten by soaking in water.

Yuan Qing's cooking skills are naturally not as good as those chefs in the palace, but Li Chen didn't say anything, and the two ate peacefully.

On the side of the coal mine, the manpower has been determined, it is the strong man in the village, Bilian Village has many people and little land, resulting in a large number of idle laborers, this coal digging can give them something to do and money to take, why not?

The next day, the rooster crowed three times, and Yuan Qing got up. This "home" has several wooden houses, a courtyard, and bedrooms on the left and right sides of the hall, and the two of them sleep on one side, they are husband and wife in the eyes of outsiders, but they are only hiding people's eyes and ears, only the name of husband and wife, and there is absolutely no husband and wife.

Why pretend to be a couple? Too lazy to explain......

So the titular husband and wife had dinner at the same table and breakfast. After breakfast, it is time to start the official mining of coal mines. To be continued
