The Princess of Northern Land

Lin Ziyin, modern day mechanical professor especially hired by the school, had the potential for great achievement in her field. However, due to family reasons, she could only treat her mechanical research and teaching as a secondary job, pouring all her energy into the farm and the food business before. Despite her low-key approach, she was unable to suppress her sister's rage, and a furious car crash sent her straight to ancient times. Indeed, she had excellent character, so why did the heavens send her to the sparsely populated Northern Land. Known as the death zone, those who were banished to this borderland would spend their lives and perish there. However, Lin Ziyin was quite satisfied with her own identity. Even if she had lost the protection of her parents, she still had the protection of her siblings and grandfather. Of course, she also had her younger brother and nephew at home who needed her protection. This abundance of familial love was enough to compensate for the hardships caused by poverty at home. Poverty, she wasn't afraid of, as she had experience in farming. With large swathes of uncultivated land, the Northern Land was practically custom-made for her. The heavy workload didn't matter either, she was proficient in designing all kinds of small tools. Whether it was the emperor's absurdity, not providing aid to the border king, or the shameless Tatars that would rob them frequently, none of these posed a problem for her. She could think of solutions for everything. It wasn't uncommon for the border king to tell everyone how lucky he was to have married such a wonderful queen!

"Good." The old man agreed with her, as farmers of course gained strength from more activity.

"Grandpa, are those water-pepper plants?" Lin Ziyin observed their surroundings, noticing a variety of wild vegetables growing all over the place. She had not expected there to be so many good things on the mountain.

Ziyin, that plant has a strange taste." The old man replied.

Upon hearing this, Lin Ziyin immediately stood up, "Grandpa, this is a good thing. Let's pick more of the tender leaves, I can use them." Lin Ziyin said gleefully. This kind of wild vegetable had a spicy flavor, which could be used as a substitute for pepper. This way, they could save some money on spices.

When the old man heard that it could be used, he too started to help her pick without asking her for what.

The pair searched and picked along their path and filled half their basket in no time. Meanwhile, as they were walking uphill, Lin Ziyin also found some star anise and other spices.
