"Why are you a woman?"

Jia Le got up and helped Bai Mengtan on the ground, since he had discovered it, Bai Mengtan didn't plan to hide anything.

She stood up, patted the dust on her body, and said, "I am the third princess of Northern Qi, and I didn't mean to hide my identity from Brother John, I hope you will forgive me." ”

"Third princess, I'm just saying who can have such a great ability, and can actually ask the king of Jin to introduce me, it seems that I am really blind, and I will call you a brother and brother in the first place." He clenched his fists hard.

"Whoever says that a woman can't be a brother, Brother John, please believe me again, and I will not disappoint you."

"How can I trust you again?" He asked rhetorically.

Bai Mengtan was silent for a moment, and said solemnly, "If I can turn the food in your hands into an indispensable source of food for the people." The ministers of the court will slander you because they are afraid of the grain in your hand. ”

"What do the three princesses want me to do?"

He is not stupid, even if the little girl in front of him really got the food and seeds he hidden, but sooner or later the food will run out. Without their planting methods, even if the plants are easy to feed, they still have to go through a lot of detours, and the waste of manpower and material resources can be imagined to be huge. The monarch of the Northern Qi Kingdom did not dare to act hastily and do such an uncertain thing.

"All I need is the rest of your food, give me a week, and I will be able to keep all of you safe."

Bai Mengtan's eyes were firm.

John looked at her again, gritted his teeth, and motioned for Bai Mengtan to pass away.

Bai Mengtan, who left the dungeon, repeatedly explained to the jailers in the prison that he must not hurt John and the others in the slightest, otherwise next time, the people who enter will only be them.

Frightened, the prison guards knelt down and begged for mercy, "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

Coming out of the dungeon, Bai Mengtan

Changed into men's clothes and asked Miki from Natsuya Vine to come over.

At this time, it happened that Zhuzhu also came back from outside, and was about to report the news from Bai Mengtan Xixiang's side, but Bai Mengtan ordered him to stay in Zixuan Palace.

This made Zhuzhu a little unhappy, usually the third princess took her out of the palace, but this time even the new maid was brought with her, and she was not brought. She was just worried that her master would be reckless for a day, afraid that she would not be able to take good care of herself outside the palace.

As soon as he left the palace, Bai Mengtan, under the guidance of Jia Le, came to the place where the wasteland refugees outside the city had temporarily set up. In a wasteland under the hillside outside the city, the people here are ragged and skinny, there are women begging with children in their arms, and there are also sick and disabled old people.

Fortunately, there are three trees around him, so that Bai Mengtan will not be injured.

"Jiale, where's the food we've prepared?" Bai Mengtan called.

Jiale pulled Gu Lai's groom to distribute the food on the car to the people of Suhan in the wasteland.

Because of Bai Mengtan's special identity.

Jia Le gave out and entrusted, "Don't worry, now we have a noble person to help, and she will help us get through the difficulties." ”

"Thank you for your help."

"Thank you for your help."

……

The people of Su Khan, who took the food, were grateful, and Bai Mengtan bowed down. As long as anyone can give them a bite to eat, it is a great blessing.

"You don't have to be polite, take your own food first." Bai Mengtan opened his mouth and instructed.

Seeing such a scene, Bai Mengtan's heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

I can help for a while, but I can't help for a lifetime. She had to get the matter done as soon as possible, preferably before the rainstorm came.

Autumn is still a month away, and it's the perfect time to grow food.

Bai Mengtan and Xiao Tingxuan usually made an appointment to meet at the place, which was the Xuanju Teahouse where they had tea together last time.

As soon as the shopkeeper and the others saw Bai Mengtan, they immediately arranged a first-class private room for them.

Then Xiao Tingxuan was dressed in an aqua blue robe, and accompanied an emerald green jade flute around his waist to come in.

"Second Brother Xiao." Bai Mengtan hurriedly got up and called softly, with a sweet smile on his little face.

This smile is very pleasing to Xiao Tingxuan.

"There are still a few days before we open together, and the rouge shop can open, Brother Mengjing, are you here early this time." He teased.

"Not early, not early. I also want to thank Second Brother Xiao for his help last time. That...... Money earned in the gambling house. Bai Mengtan's beautiful eyes turned quickly.

Xiao Tingxuan understood the meaning of Bai Mengtan's words as soon as he heard it, he smiled and took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and quipped, "Just you, a little money fan, there is still a reason to get back the money you took out." ”

Bai Mengtan snatched the silver ticket and counted it wantonly, quibbling with ghosts and elves.

"The money is obviously mine, so take it out again."

On weekdays, Miki just feels embarrassed enough to be with Mitsuki. I didn't expect that with Bai Mengtan, not only was it a shame, this person just had no face at all! No wonder the master of his own family has no way to take these three princesses, they are all forced out!

"Did you come to me just for the money?" If it was really for the silver, Xiao Tingxuan would have been a little disappointed.

Bai Mengtan's eyes widened, and he confirmed over and over again that the amount of silver was not wrong, and muttered, "No, silver is a trivial matter." What I really want to find is Xiao Er's brother. ”

"What is it?" Xiao Tingxuan's face was favored.

"Yes, Second Brother Xiao, can we change the rouge shop into a pastry shop?" Bai Mengtan put the silver ticket away, lowered his head and pretended to be aggrieved and asked in a low voice.

"Isn't the pastry shop, the rouge shop bad?" He didn't want to object to opening a store? But the location of the store they opened happened to be in the center of Fangxiang Street, which was originally a rouge shop, but it was killed by Shayazhai.

Then he used a little bit of means.

''It's so good, but Brother Jing, do you really want to open a pastry shop?'' ”

"Second Brother Xiao, you can rest assured that this store will definitely ensure that you make a steady profit." Bai Mengtan said with a firm look in his eyes.

''Pastry shop, it's not that you can't, but what kind of pastry are you going to make?'' The one who can go to Fangxiang Street is either the daughter of Qi Capital City, or the lady in the mansion of dignitaries. ’’

The corners of Bai Mengtan's mouth rose, it was these people who wanted her, and the more noble the status, the better.

Wouldn't that be better, and we'll make a lot of money then.'' ’’

Will it really make a fortune? Those aristocratic mouths are not ordinary picky.

Bai Mengtan guessed that he wouldn't believe it easily, and gave Sanshu a look outside the door, and said, "Since Second Brother Xiao is willing to do business with me, I have to show a little sincerity." ’’

Sanshu took out a few plates of pastries from the kitchen of the teahouse, and packed them in glass cups, each of which was extraordinarily exquisite, with bright and dazzling colors, especially the cute rabbit pastries like crystals, which attracted Xiao Tingxuan's attention at a glance.

''...... these pastries?'' Xiao Tingxuan's face was full of surprise, he could be said to have encountered countless things, but such cute and well-behaved pastries. Even if he is a man, he will be attracted to it.

"These pastries are all made from food that has never been seen in the Northern Qi Kingdom, also known as Liugu." Bai Mengtan said proudly.

You must know that people like everything, new things that have never been seen, she doesn't believe in those high-ranking and dignitary wives, daughters and ladies will really be unmoved.

When he heard Liugu's name, Xiao Tingxuan's hand instinctively rested on the jade flute on his waist.

His action happened to be only seen by Miki, and in order not to cause panic, Miki was vigilant and ready to start fighting at any time.

But it was only a short second, Xiao Tingxuan let go of the hand holding the jade flute, and smiled, "I didn't expect that Brother Xian, with such skills, dare to ask who is the chef who makes these pastries?" ’’

Bai Mengtan generously pointed out that the three trees on the side were not her. ’’

Sanshu nodded, and did not salute Xiao Tingxuan, the person who wanted her to salute must have asked her family master to speak, and Sanshu would salute.

Even in front of Bai Xiyang, she has never had a ceremony for the trip.

Xiao Tingxuan didn't take Sanshu's rudeness to heart.

I took a piece of pastry in my mouth, which was soft and glutinous and sweet, and had a different flavor from previous pastries.

Thumbs up and thumbs up' 'It's delicious.'' ’’

Sanshu's craftsmanship has always been exquisite, and she doesn't think so, but Bai Mengtan is so energetic.

''Second Brother Xiao, there are better things.'' ''Say.''

glanced at it, and had been waiting at the door for a long time.

A glass of burnt, black-pasted water came in.

Even Sanshu can't bear to look at it directly, does the third princess want to take such a thing to murder people?

Bai Mengtan took it with a smile, and the plate brought by Jiale explained, "Second Brother Xiao, this is called coffee, which is tea from the West, and it has the effect of refreshing the mind." ’’

Xiao Tingxuan frowned and sniffed, he felt that his stomach was tumbling.

''Are you sure this thing can be drunk?'' ’’

''I'm sure I'll be fine with it, but I'll have to add two things before I drink it.'' ’’

Bai Mengtan put the milk and sugar cubes into the black water and stirred for a while.

proudly handed the cup to Xiao Tingxuan, "Second Brother Xiao, drink and see." ”

When Bai Mengtan is floating in another time and space, he often sees a lot of people who will be like this when they are resting. Brew yourself a cup of coffee and savor it. She wondered if this black water was really, that good? It's just that at that time, apart from the will of a man, he didn't even have a basic form.

Seeing that the black water in the cup was pounded by her for a while, Xiao Tingxuan even had the heart to die, but he still couldn't hold it, Bai Mengtan's soft film was hard bubbles.

I reluctantly took a bite of compromise, took a deep breath, closed my eyes and died!

In the mouth, there is an indescribable bitterness and sweetness in the lips and teeth, and after a few more bites, the initial burnt taste must be just right.

''Second Brother Xiao, how does this taste?'' Bai Mengtan asked curiously, and saw Xiao Tingxuan nodding and saying that it tasted good.

Bai Mengtan followed and snatched the cup in his hand and drank it in a big gulp. The taste is simply too delicious compared to tea.

Bai Mengtan took a few sips in succession, seeing that the coffee in the cup was about to bottom out, she smiled embarrassedly, and put the coffee in the cup into Xiao Tingxuan's hand again.

"Second brother Xiao, you drink, you drink."

Xiao Tingxuan's face flushed, the cup that the third princess had just drunk, but he had drunk it, and at this time, the cup in his hand was still there, and Bai Mengtan's mouth grease was faintly dry.

"Second Brother Xiao, are you still satisfied with these pastries and coffee?" Bai Mengtan's middle finger pointed to the coffee cup he was holding and asked.

Xiao Tingxuan bowed his head and said, "Yes, I am very satisfied." By this time he was already shining red from the base of his ears.

It wasn't that he hadn't been in contact with a woman, but this was the first time he had shared a piece of equipment.

knew that Bai Mengtan was not the woman he liked, but he would still be attracted by her eyes similar to that person.

Seeing that the little girl was getting his approval, she cheered. He was also inexplicably infected.

Wait for Bai Mengtan to do the others and wait for them to leave.

Xiao Tingxuan looked at the delicate pastries in the glass jar and frowned. These are all made from six grains, and I was also eyeing these new foods, and I want to harvest them for my own use and plant them in exchange for more benefits.
