Caught off guard, Xiao Die was actually forced to enter by him.

Leng Qiyue had already heard the sound, but she did not get up. She continued to lie on the bed with her back to the door.

Wang Ming rushed in and saw that Leng Qiyue's clothes were in disarray, so he quickly turned around and raised his voice. "This subject doesn't know anything, please advise me, esteemed imperial concubine."

Leng Qiyue almost laughed out loud, but she held it in, intentionally saying it in a lazy and angry manner, "How dare you! Don't you see that I'm resting? "Someone, drag him out and beat the twenty big boards."

Originally, he wanted to play with him, but this upright guy threw away the sword sheath with a thud and placed both hands on the hilt of the sword across his neck, "Empress, this subject came here with the determination of certain death. This subject wants to know where all the food designated by the Emperor has gone to? Why did the Empress fool the people with cattle wheat? This subject is stupid, and knows only that the people are water, and that the king is a boat. "Water can carry boats, but it can also overturn boats. Esteemed Empress, please treat the people well …"

Leng Qiyue couldn't hold back her laughter any longer. After she finished laughing, she turned around and asked, "Wang Ming, do you still remember me?"

Wang Ming's eyes were bloodshot and his neck was covered in blood. He glared at Leng Qiyue, and gradually, his anger faded away. His grip on his sword loosened, and it fell to the ground with a clanging sound.

"You … You, you, you, you … It's you? " Wang Ming was no longer angry. His face was full of surprise.

Leng Qiyue glanced around and found that Yan Su was standing at the door. He had no intention of making a move. Was he even a guard?

Little Butterfly was enraged. "All of you, go out and change your clothes."

The moment he said this, the two men blushed and quickly left.

Leng Qiyue lazily got off the bed and changed into a simple set of clothes. She casually stuck a hairpin in, and even this casual dressing didn't diminish her charm in the slightest.

"Xiao Die, what do you think of this Lord Wang?" Leng Qiyue suddenly asked.

Xiao Die was surprised, she thought for a while and said, "A reckless person."

Leng Qiyue smiled but did not say anything. What Xiao Die said was right, she was a reckless person. Rushing into his concubine's bedroom was enough to kill him ten times over.

"Alright, let's go out. They must be getting impatient." Leng Qiyue stood up and slowly walked outside.

When Wang Ming and Yan Su saw her coming out, they immediately stood up and bowed.

Leng Qiyue sat down and said, "Sit down, Yan Su. Help me grind the wheat into flour and send it over. I'll tell you later about the use of wheat. "

Although Yan Su was full of doubts, he still went out obediently.

Wang Ming wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start.

Leng Qiyue smiled and asked, "How have you been, Sir Wang?"

Wang Ming awkwardly said, "Thank you for worrying."

"If there's anything you want to ask, just ask. We're old acquaintances, so there's no need to stand on ceremony." Leng Qiyue picked up a piece of rice cake and nibbled on it.

Upon receiving permission, Wang Ming immediately asked about the doubts in his heart, "Empress, why did the rice turn into wheat?"

Leng Qiyue put down the rice cake and said, "There are people in the court who want to oppose me. They want to use this matter to pull me down from my horse. Do you understand?"

Wang Ming was suddenly enlightened and said, "Then when did the Empress know about the shortage of food?"

"Actually, when I left the palace, I already knew that. However, if I were to immediately re-inspect the grain, I'm afraid that there will be a lot of implications. So, I walked while I thought of a way. Originally, I wanted to disperse some of the food on the road, when that time came, it would be possible to cover up the original number of grains. What I didn't expect was that of the twenty cars, eleven of them were fake, the number was too large to hide. Later on, when I thought of using silver to purchase the rice, I sent a guard named Yan to spread the news, saying that the food sent by the imperial government would be sufficient and that the grain hoarded by the rice merchants would not be able to be sold. At that time, the rice merchant would lower his price upon hearing the news, and I could buy it with silver. However, before I can carry it out, the heavens have already given me food, and that is wheat. "

As the third generation official of the Wang Ming family, how could he not understand the stratagem of overt strife and covert strife. "He was just a little worried that the people would start a riot if they knew that the rice turned into wheat." "Your Highness, although wheat can also be eaten, that's for cattle. Your subject fears that the common people will not be able to accept that!"

Leng Qiyue nodded. "I know. In fact, wheat is the same as rice and can be eaten as a daily staple food. It's just that the way you eat it isn't right."

Wang Ming's interest was piqued. Ever since the mastiff incident, he had regarded Leng Qiyue as a goddess in his heart. Therefore, when Leng Qiyue said she could eat it, he absolutely did not have any doubts.

Seeing Wang Ming stare at her like a curious child, Leng Qiyue stopped joking and said seriously, "I've been to the teahouse in Gu Yu Town. The snacks there are all fried with flour, although the flour is cheap, the oil is very expensive. The people couldn't bear to use it to fry things, so they abandoned the pastries made of flour because they thought they were cheap. What are your ways of eating here? "

Wang Ming replied, "The food here for wheat is only like what the Empress just said, fried in oil before eating." "There are a few poor people who grind rice into flour and eat it. However, the taste is not good. If one is unable to afford the rice, they would definitely not eat it."

Leng Qiyue nodded. "You won't be able to eat it. The wheat is quite delicious …"

"Empress, this servant has only grinded ten Jin of flour. Would that be enough?" Yan Su walked in with a bag of flour on his back. His face and body were covered in white frost. In such a short period of time, he had already grinded ten Jin. It seemed like he had personally gone up to fight.

Leng Qiyue took a look at the flour. Although it wasn't as delicate or as white as it was now, it was still extremely fragrant. This was a pure green natural food!

She asked Wang Ming, "Where is the kitchen here?"

Wang Ming hurriedly stepped forward and said, "This subject will bring the Empress over."

Out of the lobby, turn left... Left... Left... Only now did he see a single room. He walked in. There was nothing inside, but the kitchen utensils were complete.

Leng Qiyue asked Yan Su to place the flour on the stone platform. She found herself a cloth and wiped it clean, then she found a wooden basin and filled it up with some flour. She opened the bowl of noodles she had brought from Guyu Town and mixed it with the flour to make dough. At the same time, she explained the role of the noodles in detail.

"Xiao Die, light the stove and put half a pot of water on it to warm it. If you feel like it's hot, you can do it." Leng Qiyue instructed.

She quickly filled the pot with water and started the fire.

Leng Qiyue found a steamer and waited until the temperature of the water was about 40 degrees. Then, she placed the basin onto the steamer and sat it down. This way, she could quickly cook the noodles.

After doing all this, Leng Qiyue checked the dishes. Most of the dishes here were wild vegetables, but there were quite a few cabbages, a basket of eggs, and not a single bit of meat.

Wang Ming thought that she was looking for rice and said rather embarrassedly, "My Lady, because of the severe floods, the waters to the west have yet to return. This subject has used all of the food to make porridge to help the people, so there is no rice here."

Leng Qiyue turned to him and asked, "Then what do you eat?"

Wang Ming pointed at the wild cabbage and said, "Eat the wild cabbage balls."

Leng Qiyue said with a dark expression, "You clearly knew that I would come. You aren't preparing dinner with wild cabbage balls to entertain me, right?"

Wang Ming did not say anything, but from his flushed face, it was easy to tell that he was definitely planning on doing so.

Leng Qiyue rolled up her sleeves and picked the wild vegetables. Wang Ming and Yan Su came over to help as well. The three of them finished picking the baskets of wild vegetables and got the noodles ready.

Leng Qiyue asked, "Where is the chef here?"

While washing the vegetables, Wang Ming said, "They've all gone home to settle their families."

"Then help me chop the vegetables after you've washed them." She looked at Yan Su again and said, "Help me beat all the eggs into a bowl and then use your chopsticks to beat them up."

Yan Su also didn't say anything. He grumbled as he tried to beat up some eggs. However, he was a martial artist, so his hands were strong. Five eggs in a row were smashed to smithereens. Leng Qiyue couldn't hold it in any longer and shouted, "You! Take the knife and go cut the vegetables! Wang Ming, come and beat the eggs!"

The two men didn't dare to say anything and obediently switched jobs. Although Wang Ming was the City Lord, one could tell from his cooking skills that he was not weak. He had beaten up the egg beautifully.

At that moment, Die Die cried out from the stove, "Ah! Demons!
