Before leaving Maixi and returning to Pingliang County, Mai Xiaohuan found Zhuangtou, his eldest brother and one of Zhou Yue's subordinates and told them that the corn was basically like this, let it grow naturally, and it would mature in more than 20 days. After half a month, the potatoes will be prepared, and they will come back when the time comes, and they will discuss the rest of the things, and the three of them have the right to decide, and they don't have to listen to one person.

Mai Yonghe was very dissatisfied with his sister's decision, and he didn't dare to object to it given that he hadn't done anything before and almost missed a big thing.

Back at Yifeng Villa, Mai Xiaohuan introduced Lin and Shan Cuihua, and the two happy mothers-in-law only knew that they were circling around their pregnant daughter-in-law, and they didn't care about Mai Xiaohuan's daughter. Zhou Yue just wanted to take advantage of the weakness to comfort his sweetheart, Qu Wen sighed heavily: "Xiao Huan, I feel that we have been abandoned, in order to relieve my sad mood, you can cook something delicious today to comfort me!" ”

Zhou Yue gave An Ying a look, and the latter easily carried the fat man of one hundred and forty or fifty catties aside, this dead fat man has been against himself along the way since he followed Mai Xiaohuan, and he hates it as much as his brother.

"Qu Wen, do you really want to eat a delicious meal?"

That's still fake, Qu Wen nodded vigorously, and gave Mai Xiaohuan countless affirmative answers, Mai Xiaohuan told him to go back to Tongbei County tomorrow to invite all the relevant personnel, and he would cook a big meal for him, ensuring that no one had eaten.

This is exciting good news, Qu Wen ran away with cheers, and forgot to talk to Zhou Yue about what happened just now, Zhou Yue said with a grudge on his face: "Little bad, you are too partial, you think about that fat man for any good thing, and throw me aside." ”

Can you be less naïve? Mai Xiaohuan looked around at herself, Zhou Yue, Xiaoquanzi, and An Ying, and she hooked her fingers at the three of them: "You will do me a favor tomorrow, I can't trust others in this matter, only you let me rest assured." ”

"I can help myself." Zhou Yue planned to abandon his two subordinates and act alone with Mai Xiaohuan.

You are really getting more and more excessive, even eating the flying vinegar of your subordinates, Xiaoquanzi and An Ying feel that their temperament has changed greatly since the master likes Mai Xiaohuan, as long as there is a man next to Mai Xiaohuan, they will be jealous. If it's just someone else, how can you not even trust and exclude your own people! It's too much.

Mai Xiaohuan was also speechless, and he didn't have much resistance to his peerless face, secretly blaming himself for being unproductive, and at the same time becoming more and more sure that this guy must have discovered his shortcomings, and he kept trying to lust/seduce himself. Fortunately, he was relatively determined, otherwise he would have been subdued by his handsome face a long time ago, now? She didn't know how long she could hold on, and she felt that surrender was only a matter of time, but it was an inevitable end.

"How can I bear to make you tired!" Mai Xiaohuan, who was disgusted by herself, rubbed her arms, and in order to appease this guy, she found that she was also quite hard.

Hearing this, Zhou Yue was very happy, he knew that Mai Xiaohuan was different from him, and after showing a smile that turned everyone upside down, Zhou Yue asked Mai Xiaohuan what he planned to let him do.

As Zhou Yue's subordinates, Xiaoquanzi and An Ying and Mai Xiaohuan thought the opposite, how could they feel that the prince was much easier to coax than before! Especially Mai Xiaohuan, as long as he resigns a little, the prince will take the bait, who is tempting whom!

In order to eat a delicious meal, Qu Wen went on the road after breakfast, Mai Xiaohuan asked Xiaoquanzi to hide two sacks in the cornfield first, what should Mai Xiaohuan do, Xiaoquanzi kept asking: "What about the big meal?" Don't you have to go into the kitchen? ”

The corn should be cooked within two hours of breaking it to taste the most delicious, Mai Xiaohuan had to calculate the time and wait until Qu Hao and the others came back to the ground.

After lunch, after sleeping for a while, Mai Xiaohuan knocked on Zhou Yue's courtyard door, if others dared to come and disturb him while he was sleeping, Zhou Yue would definitely turn his face, I heard that it was Mai Xiaohuan who was looking for him, and he turned over and got out of bed.

Afraid that Zhou Yue would accidentally scratch his face, Mai Xiaohuan specially put a mask on him, Xiaofuzi called it unfair, why is there no welfare if he has to work himself.

"If your master is willing to give it to you, I have no opinion."

As everyone expected, Xiaofuzi was kicked twice and honestly followed into the cornfield. Mai Xiaohuan chose a stick of corn, peeled off the skin, looked at it, pinched it, and explained the essentials to everyone, telling them that they could break a total of thirty or forty.

"You're going to cook with this?" Zhou Yue stretched out his hand and broke a corn, and asked puzzledly.

"Be careful, this job is not so easy to do, if you don't get it, you will be cut." Mai Xiaohuan didn't answer him directly, but cared about his hand, anyone with these people can be injured, he can't bleed, you must know that the people in the palace are still here!

Mai Xiaohuan's concern and uniqueness for himself made Zhou Yue very useful, because he couldn't show a charming smile while wearing a mask, his peach blossom eyes kept blinking, Mai Xiaohuan twisted his head to the side after a glance, should this person be so self-indulgent!

The broken corn was taken to a secluded place by them and poured out, Mai Xiaohuan explained while peeling the skin, and the forty cobs of corn were quickly cleaned up: "An Ying, take these skins and feed them to the horses!" ”

"Can this horse eat?" An Ying asked in surprise.

"Corn is full of treasures, in addition to the part that we humans can eat, its stalks and leaves are the favorite feed of livestock, corn silk can also cure diseases, relieve heat, and even the corn cob inside can be used to feed cattle and sheep."

Several people got together and studied the corn carefully, Mai Xiaohuan was going back to be busy, took the corn from them, and warned them not to go out and talk nonsense, she didn't want her villa to attract thieves.

"I'll send someone to take care of it, don't worry." After listening to the bad girl's words, Zhou Yue knew the importance of corn, and of course he had to be careful.

On the other side, Mai Xiaohuan pasted some crushed japonica rice and white flour cakes, steamed two small pots of egg sauce, and freshly dug potatoes were skinned and steamed together in the pot. After cutting the cucumbers, washing a pot of cabbage, mixing cold vegetables, making a few small stir-fries, and boiling the salted water and long-lived fruits, the dishes are all ready.

After Qu Zhiyi and his group of more than 20 people arrived, Mai Xiaohuan asked people to set up the tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks.

"Hurry up and start eating, I haven't eaten much for a big meal this day." Qu Wen rubbed his stomach and wailed.

Looking at the food served on the table, Zhao Wanru's fathers Zhao Yuechen, Li Gonggong, and Qu Zhiyi didn't know how to start. Mai Xiaohuan washed her hands in front of everyone, put on a mask and demonstrated how to eat.

Everyone moved their chopsticks with the mentality of trying, especially Zhou Yue, who ate a little bit of everything that gave face: "Little ...... Huan, what about that? ”

Which one? Everyone turned their heads to look at the two of them together, Mai Yonghai sighed, judging from the current form, his sister will soon be abducted.

Mai Xiaohuan glared at Zhou Yue, she originally planned to wait for everyone to eat almost before bringing the main event, otherwise she was really afraid that dozens of corns would not be enough to grab.

When the steaming corn was served, everyone stopped their chopsticks, Qu Wen couldn't wait, he reached out to get it, and he inhaled as a result, Mai Xiaohuan dipped his handkerchief in cold water and handed it over, and he had to pay the price for being too greedy.

Zhou Yue squeezed over to solve everyone's doubts: "This is corn, let everyone try it today, only this once, no one will think about it before the harvest, tomorrow I will ask the county guard to send some people to take care of the corn field on the Zhuangzi." After speaking, he didn't forget to take away the handkerchief from Qu Wen's hand, this is the important purpose of his coming!

Fresh corn has a sweet and glutinous taste, I haven't eaten it for many years, Mai Xiaohuan tasted it while reminiscing. Others showed a strong interest in this fresh food, and they couldn't get enough of eating it one by one. In addition, Qu Wen and Xiao Fuzi, two foodies, after eating what they had in their hands, they still greedily looked at the plates in front of others, hoping that there would be someone who didn't like to eat, and then divide it in half.

"Can you bring some of this back to the palace for the emperor and the queen mother to taste." Gonggong Li discussed with Zhou Yue.

Zhou Yue looked at Mai Xiaohuan, he has now developed a habit of asking for her opinion on everything related to Mai Xiaohuan. Mai Xiaohuan hurriedly stood up and said: "Of course I can, but it will take several days to enter Beijing, and if I eat it then, it will taste different from what we eat now, and it will be much worse." ”

There is also this kind of strange thing, Zhou Yue asked Mai Xiaohuan to help think of a way, Mai Xiaohuan will not make a big move, she can only say that she tries her best to think of countermeasures, if it doesn't work, don't rely on herself when the time comes.

Gonggong Li saw that there were quite a lot of people here, and he almost touched the general situation in Tongbei County, so that everyone went back to rest and recuperate, and he had a holy decree to read early tomorrow morning.

When he said this, the Mai family couldn't sleep, especially Mai Wan and Shan Cuihua, who never thought that their family would one day get involved with the royal family. Mai Yonghai, who was sitting on the side, was so nervous when he saw his father and mother, he was really afraid that one day they would faint after they knew that their sister was targeted by Zhou Yue.

Gonggong Li's first decree was to be given to the county guard of Qingcheng County, and he was transferred to serve elsewhere, and Qu Hao took over his position.

The next one is for the Mai family, Mai Wang is a member of the foreign lang, and his wife is named a five-grade pleasant person, and both of them enjoy the imperial court. Both the Wheat House and the wealthy merchants who contributed to the warehouses were compensated.

Hearing this news, the happiest person is Zhou Yue, Uncle Huang is now paving the way for himself to marry Mai Xiaohuan, and he must thank him if he has the opportunity.

There is also a decree for Zhou Yue, the queen mother and her old man miss her grandson, let him return to Beijing to accompany him for a few days, as for him and Mai Xiaohuan's reward will be issued at a later date.

Mai Xiaohuan thinks it's normal to not have her own reward, after all, the emperor has rewarded her father and family; She wouldn't be surprised if there was a reward, but what does this elective mean?

Qu Zhiyi and Qu Hao looked at the ignorant Mai Xiaohuan sympathetically, and the corners of his happy mouth were about to grin behind his ears, Zhou Yue's heart was mixed, this kid, I didn't expect him to really succeed.
