Spatial Peasant Girl: These Mad Darlings Are Delicate and Gullible

Chapter 374: A Pie From The Sky

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Xiaoxiao understood that even if she had the means and ideas, she would only be able to plant a hundred acres of land with the dozens of commoners she had originally invited.

However, if she could mobilize more people, wouldn’t this grayish-yellow desert be dyed green faster?

The news of the success of farming needed more people to spread it by word of mouth to be more convincing. Hence, she chose the place to buy sheep today to be the experimental field. She even let every commoner who came to sell sheep or check things out, taste it themselves.

The people at the border who ate this sweet melon fruit for the first time were all stunned. There was actually such a refreshing melon in the world? Moreover, why was it so juicy? Was this really something that could be grown from the dry sand at the border?

Seeing was believing. Even though they had already determined that farming was a lie fabricated by the officials to deceive them into staying outside the pass, they were still shaken at this moment.

Xiaoxiao saw their expressions. “Ah, speaking of which, today is also our harvest day. Do you want to take a look?”

Every commoner who walked past the experimental field felt that they had a daydream just now. However, this dream was quite realistic.

They couldn’t help but pinch themselves. It didn’t hurt very much, but for some reason, they felt like crying.

The commoners were trembling when they arrived and were distracted when they returned home. When their relatives at home saw them, they thought that something had happened to them.

“What’s wrong? Did an accident happen halfway?”

“The sheep ran away?”

“You met the Xiongnu people?”

“Or… did the officials lie and not give you money?”

They put down the money they had just received. “No, nothing. It’s just that it seems like a pie has fallen from the sky.”

The experimental fields’ first batch of harvest was not for sale. They were just waiting for the seeds to be planted.

The commoners who participated in the planting were all registered. Before they obtained the seeds, they were each given a drawing board of planting instructions. The instructions were clearly and meticulously recorded.

It was precisely because they had participated in the entire process that the commoners could tell that Miss Xiaoxiao had no intention of patronizing them. She had really selflessly taught them her planting tips!

Xiaoxiao realized that the commoners had been looking at her strangely when she went out recently. How should she put it? They were overly enthusiastic and respectful. Anyway, she felt goosebumps all over her body.

At the Xiongnu’s border, Rong Yan and Xiao Ran opened the surprise Xiaoxiao gave them. They were paper bags that had been divided one by one. Some of the paper bags contained dried rice grains and dehydrated vegetables that everyone was already very familiar with. Some of them had the words “Do not open” written on them.

The letter Xiaoxiao left for them detailed the usage method.

Hence, many Xiongnu people were lucky enough to see a magical scene that night—

The Great Xia people placed the shriveled rice, dried vegetables, and water into a simple steamer. There was no fire under the steamer, only a small paper bag. Then, they poured water into the layer where the paper bag was. In just a short moment, the steamer suddenly emitted a fragrant steam. After a while, the Great Xia people opened the steamer. The Xiongnu people were dumbfounded and in disbelief as they saw delicious food!

T-t-this. What kind of trick was this? A diversion?

At first, the Xiongnu people did not believe what they saw. However, when they saw that the Great Xia people had used this method to cook everyone’s meals and ate them very enjoyably in front of them, they were immediately filled with doubt.

The people of Great Xia knew how to do magic! No wonder they lost! Who could f*cking defeat them?!

As the natives, they often ate cold steamed buns and drank snowwater. But look at the people of Great Xia. They had hot rice, hot dishes, and meat! They even boiled the snow water in a steaming pot before drinking it. Were they here to enjoy themselves? How could they defeat them?

At night, Rong Yan and Xiao Ran released some of the captives on the grounds that they could not afford the captives’ food. However, they had all witnessed Great Xia’s unique cooking method with their own eyes.

Before long, news came from the Xiongnu Imperial City, requesting a truce and peace negotiations.

When this news reached the border city of Great Xia, Deputy General Yu was so happy that his beard was about to curl up. The soldiers also jumped three feet high, and their cheers almost pierced through the clouds.

Because of the war, everyone missed New Year’s Eve and the Lantern Festival. Although the soldiers were used to it, they more or less felt a little regretful. When Xiaoxiao suggested celebrating at the bonfire party at night, Deputy General Yu agreed with her with both hands even though he rejected her suggestion of roasting a whole sheep.

How could he not celebrate such good news? Wasn’t it worthy of his brothers’ hard work over the years?

Xiaoxiao got someone to take out the dried stalk leaves that had been stored after harvesting to use as fuel for the bonfire. Then, she instructed everyone to kill the sheep and set up the grill. She washed her hands and started to mix the marinate.

The mutton that was marinated with Xiaoxiao’s secret sauce for four hours, no longer had the gamey smell. The spices were rich and assailed their noses. Before it was even on the grill, it was already emitting an alluring fragrance. The soldiers who were initially not interested in the mutton, immediately felt hungry.

Indeed, as long as Miss Xiaoxiao made a move, there was no yucky food in this world.

The moment the sun set, the bonfire banquet officially began. The soldiers who were not on duty cheered and laughed around the fire. They danced with joy and used the most straightforward method to relax their hearts.

Xiaoxiao, who had roasted the entire sheep, decided that when Little Big Brother and the rest returned, she would definitely make a large table of delicious food to nourish him.

Sigh, if it wasn’t to keep the space a secret, she really wanted to pluck vegetables and fruits and send them to him.

At this moment, Rong Yan was lying on the couch and staring at the jade pendant in his hand in a daze.

The last time he saw Xiaoxiao, she clearly hung this jade pendant on her waist. Why did it suddenly appear here?

He recalled the scene of seeing and hearing Xiaoxiao’s voice a few times. Could it be that it was not a dream?

But how could an ordinary young lady like her appear on the battlefield?

In order to eliminate the possibility that she had disguised herself as a man and sneaked in, Rong Yan had already walked around the entire military camp in the past two days. He only felt relieved after confirming that he did not see Xiaoxiao.

A figure passed by outside the window. Yun Er lowered his voice and said to Yun San, “There’s a letter from the border city. Do you want to show it to Master?”

Yun San hesitated. “But Master just fell asleep. Why don’t we wait for a while?”

The door creaked open. Rong Yan took the letter from the two of them and skipped over the other content. Rong Yan saw at a glance that the letter said, “Miss Xiaoxiao led everyone to harvest the huge melon field yesterday. That melon is big, sweet, and quenching…”

Great, she was still in the border city.

As long as she was fine, it did not matter how this jade pendant came about.

Rong Yan finally relaxed and fell asleep.

The joyous songs and laughter in Great Xia’s border city lasted until midnight. Only when the firewood was burned away was everyone willing to calm down.

Xiaoxiao couldn’t do anything to them. She didn’t have the space projection function today to let everyone rest at a slow speed.

However, Deputy General Yu had said that it was common for them to be on tenterhooks and unable to sleep at night in this city. They were already used to taking advantage of every opportunity to sleep. It was rare for them to be at ease these few days. With their current energy, it was not a problem for them to not sleep for three days and three nights.

These words made her feel helpless and sad.

Looking at the soldiers’ energetic backs, Xiaoxiao smiled and glanced at the completely roasted sheep.

As expected of me. My culinary skills are really good..
