Chapter 769 Leisurely Rural Life (1)

It's already half past midnight when the medicinal food is ready. But Yunqing didn't fall asleep because of the discomfort.

Seeing that Madam Quan brought the medicinal food, Yun Qing breathed a sigh of relief. Ever since he was a child, what he hated the most was taking medicine, it was so bitter.

The medicinal ingredients were put in the medicinal diet to soothe the nerves, and Yun Qing fell asleep not long after eating the medicinal diet.

Sister Quan blew out the candles, took out the bowl and went out. Because Yunqing was sick, Mammy Quan was worried, so she simply slept outside. In case something happens to Yunqing, she also knows.

Yun Qing had a good night's sleep.

Similarly, Yuxi also had a good night's sleep. The sky was bright, and there was a cock crowing sound of "woo woo woo". Not long after, Yu Xi heard movement outside, and immediately called Mei Lan, "Go and see what's going on?"

Not long after, Meilan came over and said, "Princess, it's the second young master who got up to practice."

Yuxi looked out through the window, it's still not dawn yet! Usually the triplets can't get up at this time: "Why did they get up so early today?"

Mei Lan pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Second Young Master said that they want to learn from Zu Ti and Liu Kun, and dance when they hear the chicken."

The allusion that Zu Ti and Liu Kun danced after hearing the chicken was told by Yuxi to the triplets. Hearing this, Yuxi smiled and said: "It would be great if they can f***ingly persevere." In this way, she no longer has to worry about the triplets.

After saying this, Yuxi also got up. When I walked out of the house, I saw the mist outside, as if covered with a white gauze curtain.

Seeing that the triplets were very involved in practicing, Yuxi didn't bother her, and went into the main hall to start boxing. Yuxi has no time to exercise since Yunqing went to war, and she hasn't punched for more than half a year. Yuxi feels her whole body is stiff.

After hitting a whole set of punches, Yuxi felt that her bones were about to fall apart. Taking the towel from Meilan's hand, she wiped off her sweat and said, "I still have to f***ingly persevere in the future."

The food for breakfast is very light, rice porridge, buns and steamed buns with side dishes, and four eggs, not even fried dough sticks.

Brother Rui sat on the table, looked at the things on the table, and said, "Mother, why is there no egg custard?" It's not that Brother Rui likes egg custard, but Yuxi He said that if he insisted on eating mutton milk and egg custard, he would grow as strong as Yunqing in the future. That's why Brother Rui ate all the yogurt and egg custard.

Yuxi smiled and said, "Tomorrow."

Because they practice exercises every morning, the appetite of the triplets has always been very good. This day was no exception, the porridge, steamed buns, and eggs were all eaten.

Brother Yu saw that the chicken soup hadn't been served yet, so he put down his chopsticks and said, "Mom, I'm full." Although there are not many things, the taste is still very good. It's also fortunate that my mother brought Mama Bai here, otherwise there would be no such delicious food.

Yuxi hummed and said: "Then you go to the front yard!" The husband was placed in the front yard, so the triplets also went to the front yard for class.

Not long after the triplets went to the front yard, Mama Bai entered the room and reported, "Princess, the ingredients for mung bean cake are ready."

Yuxi washed her hands before entering the kitchen, looked at the ingredients on the table, and nodded slightly.

Mung bean cake is not complicated to make, and Yuxi has learned it carefully before. Except for being a little rusty at the beginning, the movements are very neat after getting started.

After the mung bean cake is formed, it is steamed in a steamer. The heat and time are also very important. If the fire is too high or the time is long or short, it will affect the taste. But Yuxi will definitely not wait in front of the stove, and how to manage the heat and time will be left to Bai Mama.

Yuxi said to Mama Bai: "When the pastry is cooked, serve it to the Second Young Master and the others." The pastry tastes the best when it is just out of the pan.

Mother Bai nodded and said, "Yes."

Said to Mei Lan: "Go outside for a walk.

"Now is the time to plant potatoes, and she is going to visit the fields.

Meilan persuaded: "Princess, it rained yesterday, and the road outside is not easy to walk now." As for the clothes and shoes that Wangfei wears, they will get dirty when they go out.

Yu Xi was already prepared, and said: "Take out that set of pea green muslin clothes." Yu Xi asked the sewing room staff to make three sets of dark muslin clothes, which are resistant to dirt.

It is said that people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. After Yuxi put on this set of pea green fine cloth clothes, she is much older than before. Meilan frowned when she saw it: "Princess, I'd better change, this dress is too ugly." This dress made the concubine several years old.

Yuxi said indifferently: "We are in the farm, and we're not going to meet guests. What are we doing wearing such bright clothes? Besides, I'm the mother of six children, so if I look old, I'll look old!" If it wasn't for the coarse cloth clothes It's too rough, she doesn't feel comfortable wearing it, and Yuxi doesn't even know how to make clothes out of fine cloth. Therefore, it is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal.

Meilan had no choice but to change her clothes as well.

At this time, Teng Xin, the leader of the guards, came in and said: "Princess, Zhuangtou is waiting outside, please see Wangfei."

Yu Xi smiled and called Mei Lan and said, "Come out with me!" It was she who ordered Han Dong to come over in the morning, saying that she would go to the fields today to have a look.

It was a cloudy day, and the ground was very wet due to the rain yesterday. Yuxi was walking like flying, Meilan was terrified watching from the side, fearing that Yuxi would accidentally fall.

Yuxi said with a smile: "You don't have to worry so much, I'm not paper, so it's so easy to fall down."

Han Dong took Yuxi to a sloping field and said, "Now this field is all planted with wheat, and only yams are planted on the sloping field." Henan and Shanxi provinces plant yams twice a year, Gansu and Shaanxi and other northwestern regions It is still mainly planted with wheat.

On the sloping ground, there was an old man in gray coarse clothes doing work. Knowing Yuxi's identity, he knelt down and kowtowed to salute.

Yuxi asked Meilan to see someone to support her, and said with a smile: "The ground is wet and my clothes will get wet if I kneel down. If I get sick, it will be my fault." Dong understood the situation and took a look at Zhuangzi's whole picture by the way.

The old man hurriedly said that he did not dare.

Yuxi smiled and said: "Old man, go and do your work!" After finishing speaking, she continued to walk upwards.

Standing on a high place, looking at the lush green below, a smile appeared on Yuxi's face. Turning her head, Yu Xi said to Han Dong: "I saw a field yesterday, and the wheat in that field grew very poorly, and even the wheat seedlings that came out were withered and yellow. This matter must be taken seriously." Although Yu Xi knew What kinds of pests are there in the wheat, but she doesn't know exactly what kind of disease the wheat in the field she saw yesterday had.

Han Dong looked at Yu Xi, and said helplessly: "That field has been fertilized too much, and the wheat seedlings were burned to death." Seeing Yu Xi's puzzled face, Han Dong said: "The woman didn't tell her man about the fat. Then she went out to see relatives. Her man didn’t know that he planted fat in the field again. The woman was also a madman, and she forgot about it when she came back. It wasn’t until the wheat seedlings didn’t grow right, and the old farmer who had been there for many years was invited to look at it and found out The problem is, I only found out about it the day before yesterday." Hejiazhuang has more than 800 mu of fields, and these fields are leased to tenants for planting.

Meilan was stunned: "Is there such a careless person?" After the husband and wife made such a move, the harvest of this field was gone.

Han Dong said helplessly: "Who said it wasn't? The husband and wife quarreled over this, and the woman took the child back to her mother's house."

Mei Lan felt incredible: "She did something wrong and brought the child back to her mother's house?" This woman is too tough!

Yu Xi smiled lightly and said: "It's not good for outsiders to criticize this matter between husband and wife." After finishing speaking, Yu Xi turned to Han Dong and said, "Take care of this matter as soon as possible, and don't let this field go to waste."

Han Dong nodded hurriedly.

Yuxi walked around the village, and when she returned to the yard, it was almost lunch time.

The triplets surrounded Yuxi when they saw Yuxi, and Brother Yu said cheerfully: "Mother, the mung bean cake you made is really delicious. I ate four pieces." Brother You doesn't eat sweets much, but he knows that mung bean cake is Yuxi made it with her own hands, and ate four yuan with great dignity.

Mother Bai interjected and said, "Princess, you only have two pieces of mung bean cake left." Yuxi didn't cook much, so she only made one plate, totaling sixteen pieces. The two pieces that were not eaten were specially left by Bai Mama for Yuxi to taste.

Yu Xi said with a smile all over her face: "Bring me a piece and see if it's really as delicious as Ah You said?"

Brother Yu said unhappily: "Mom, why don't you believe what I say?" It's not good to be small, and you are always questioned.

Yu Xi pinched Brother Yu's ear and said: "Mother is afraid that you will bite the bullet and eat so much in order to make mother happy, if it doesn't taste good, it's mother's fault."

Brother Yu said helplessly: "Mom, do I look so stupid? If it doesn't taste good, I'll eat four yuan."

Yuxi deliberately teased: "It's hard to say."

The mung bean cake has been kept hot in the pot, and it was still steaming when it was taken out. Yu Xi took a bite and chewed it carefully, and after swallowing it, she said with a smile: "The taste is average." It's not bad, but it's definitely not delicious either.

Brother Yu said: "Mom, you have really high demands on yourself." Anyway, he thought it was delicious.

Yuxi finished eating the pastry in her hands, cleaned her hands and said: "The mung bean cake with a delicate taste and mellow taste is really delicious." The mung bean cake made by the former cook is delicious, and even the craftsmanship of Bai's mother is almost inferior.

In the afternoon, Yuxi had nothing to do and read a book again. Tired of watching, I went for a walk outside. On the way back, I saw a peasant woman with two Chinese cabbages in a box.

Suddenly Yuxi's mind flashed, and she said to Meilan: "Go ask Han Dong to bring some Chinese cabbage over."

Meilan was a little strange, but she didn't ask any further questions, she nodded and said, "I'll let someone tell Han Zhuangtou."

Two quarters of an hour later, Han Dong personally delivered a basket of Chinese cabbage with more than a dozen cabbages.

Mama Bai looked at the big basket of cabbages and said, "Princess, we won't be able to eat all the cabbages in a while!"

Yu Xi shook her head with a smile and said, "I want to make spicy cabbage." It was also when she saw those two Chinese cabbage plants that the idea flashed into her mind. Speaking of which, so many years have passed, she has forgotten many things in her previous [UUReading Book 00ks] life.

Mother Bai said in surprise: "Spicy cabbage?" She had never heard of such a dish.

Yuxi smiled and said: "I also read it from the book, so let's try some first. If it is delicious, it can be popularized, and it can be regarded as adding a dish to the people's table."

Mother Bai asked, "Then what should I prepare?"

Yuxi thought for a while and read: "Garlic, onion, ginger, chili powder, white sugar, carrots, and leeks." This dish was spread from the south of the Yangtze River to the capital, and later to Zhuangzi where she was imprisoned. She did nothing at that time, so I still remember the general steps.

In the evening, when the triplets came back, they saw Yu Xi sitting in the yard wearing blue muslin clothes, holding a brush in his hand to paint red stuff on the cabbage.

The three brothers all found it very strange. They had seen too much of Yu Xi's handling of government affairs, and this was the first time they had seen her like this. Brother Yu knelt down and asked, "Mom, what are you doing?"

Yuxi smiled and said: "I'm making spicy cabbage! You will be able to eat it in a few days."

Brother Xuan looked disgusted: "Mother, can this thing be eaten?" It looks so disgusting, how can such a thing be eaten!

Yuxi nodded and said: "It's edible, and it tastes good. But if you don't like it, you don't have to eat it." Green vegetables and radishes have their own preferences, and they don't feel reluctant to eat them.

When sleeping at night, Yuxi said to Meilan: "It's been a long time since I've been so leisurely." Before, I didn't have time to cook and make cakes, and I was busy with government affairs from morning till night. Right now, it's fine, very relaxing.

Mei Lan said: "It would be great if the princess could do this every day." Although the princess didn't stop all day long, she did simple things, and it didn't matter if they were good or bad, unlike dealing with government affairs, which is very energy-intensive. .

Yuxi shook her head slightly and said: "If you want to really relax, you have to wait for Ah Hao to grow up and take on this burden." Before that, she couldn't really relax!

This day, Yunqing talked with Tan Tuo very late again.

After talking, Yun Qing said to Tan Tuo: "Master Tan, go down and rest!" Tan Tuo has been living in the palace since yesterday, so he can rest more without running back and forth.

Tan Tuo said respectfully: "Yes." Fortunately, he is in good health, otherwise he was busy from morning to night without a moment's rest, how could he bear it. Cough, Tan Tuo really hopes that Yuxi can come back sooner. Being tossed like this by the prince, he doesn't know how long his old bones can last!

Calling Xu Wu, Yun Qing asked: "What did the princess do on Zhuangzi today?"

Xu Wu glanced at Yun Qing, and softly explained what Yu Xi had done.

After listening, Yun Qing said to himself: "Mung bean cake? Spicy cabbage?" Yuxi's life in Hejiazhuang was very leisurely, which was completely different from that in the palace. Thinking of this, Yun Qing felt depressed.

Xu Wu said: "Mung bean cake is not unusual, but I have never heard of this spicy cabbage before, and I don't know which book the princess read about it."

Yun Qing came back to his senses and said: "The princess is very knowledgeable, it's not uncommon to read how to make spicy cabbage from books."

Xu Wu hummed and said: "What the prince said is very true."

While talking, Xu Daniu said outside: "My lord, Mother Quan has brought you a medicinal meal."

Yun Qing said to Xu Wu: "Go and bring in the medicinal food!" After eating the medicinal food for a whole day, he felt almost better, and after eating this bowl, he would not eat it again tomorrow.

ps: (x-on:^_^x-on:)~, Yuxi's culinary skills are very good at everything. (to be continued)
