Chapter 771 Leisurely Rural Life (3)

Yuxi took the four brothers and went out with a basket and a shovel. The five mother and son walking on the road in the country is also a unique scenery.

Brother Yu pointed to the chrysanthemums on the slope not far away and said: "Mom, there are so many chrysanthemums there! Do you want to pick some chrysanthemums first." The small golden-colored wild chrysanthemums, clustered in clusters, are very beautiful.

Chrysanthemums can be dried in the sun and made into chrysanthemum tea later. Brother Hao also thought it was a good idea, and said, "Go dig the shepherd's purse first, and then pick the chrysanthemums to dry in the sun." With so many chrysanthemums, I can pick several baskets.

Yuxi smiled and said: "When the time comes, mother will make chrysanthemum cake for you!" It's rare to see Brother Hao look like a child, and Yuxi is willing to follow him.

After walking for more than a quarter of an hour, we finally arrived at our destination. Brother Yu looked around, and then asked, "Mother, where's the shepherd's purse?"

Yuxi pointed to a clump of green things on the ground and said, "This is shepherd's purse!"

Brother You looked down at the thing Yuxi was pointing at and said, "Is this shepherd's purse?" He thought that shepherd's purse was the same as cabbage, which came in pieces!

Lower your head and use a shovel to shovel, only the leaves are in hand, and the roots are gone. Brother Yu held the leaves and asked, "Mother, is this all right?"

Yuxi shook her head, lowered her head and dug out a complete shepherd's purse, then shook it vigorously, shaking off the soil at the root before putting it into the basket. After finishing all this, Yuxi said to Brother You: "See clearly? We need to dig out the roots together and shake off the mud."

Brother Yu nodded and said: "See it clearly." He dug like Yuxi, but he brought out a lump of mud with all his strength. The time it takes to shake the mud is enough to dig several shepherd's purses.

Yuxi looked up and saw Brother Yu fighting with Ni, she smiled and didn't speak. Bringing children out is to let them experience rural life and relax by the way, not to let them learn how to dig wild vegetables.

Two quarters of an hour later, Brother Yu looked at the few isolated shepherd's purse plants in his basket, and then looked at the three brothers. Find yourself the least, and his elder brother the most.

Brother Yu moved to Brother Hao and said, "Brother, why did you dig so much?" His elder brother is really amazing, he can do everything well.

Brother Hao took a look at Brother Yu and said, "Dig seriously, don't be half-hearted, you can dig as much as I do." After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and continued to dig.

Brother Yu felt that his elder brother was boring, and was about to continue digging, when he suddenly saw a red dragonfly in the distance. Brother Yu dropped the basket and ran to catch dragonflies.

Seeing that Yu Xi didn't speak, Brother Rui dropped his shovel and followed Brother Yu to catch dragonflies. Only Brother Hao and Brother Xuan were left honestly digging shepherd's purse.

After a while, Brother Rui caught a dragonfly in his hand, while Brother Yu held a bunch of wild chrysanthemums in his hand. Brother You said to Yuxi: "Mother, we will put chrysanthemums in your house later." Her mother likes flowers and plants, and there are always two pots of flowers in the house when she is in the palace.

Yuxi stood up with a smile and said: "You are the only one who can be good." After finishing speaking, she called Ah Hao and Brother Xuan to go back.

Back in the yard, Yuxi asked the four brothers to help them wash together. While washing, Yuxi said: "The yellow leaves need to be removed, and the ones with black spots on the roots should also be pinched off..."

Brother Yu felt dizzy when he heard that, and said, "Mother, why is it so troublesome to eat shepherd's purse dumplings?"

Yuxi said with a smile: "It's just the beginning and you find it troublesome? You still have to make noodles later, and you have to wrap the noodles after you make the dough!" After the novelty passes, it's troublesome.

Brother Yu said: "I don't want to eat shepherd's purse dumplings in the future." It's really troublesome.

Yuxi smiled lightly and said: "This shepherd's purse is just wild vegetables that can be picked outside directly, and it doesn't take a lot of effort. Do you know how much time and energy it takes for this food, melons, fruits and vegetables to be eaten from planting to eating? Touch If there is a natural disaster,

A year of hard work was all in vain. "

Brother Xuan's heart was the softest, and after hearing what Yuxi said, he couldn't help but said: "It's not easy for this farmer."

Brother Hao recalled a poem written by Tang Dynasty poet Li Shen: "Plant a grain of millet in spring, and grow ten thousand seeds in autumn. There is no idle land in the world, and the farmer still starves to death. When we hoe the grain at noon, sweat drips down the grain .Who knows dishes on the menu, A Journey."

Yu Xi said to Brother Hao: "As long as the person in power is wise and manages the country well, even if there is a natural disaster, the government will come forward to relieve the disaster, and the people will still have a way to live, otherwise they will only have a way to die."

Brother Hao nodded and said: "Mother, I know. The water is easy to carry a boat, and it can also overturn it. If it cannot be supported by the people, no matter how powerful the dynasty is, it will not last long."

Yu Xi nodded slightly and said, "It's good that you know."

When the triplets saw that Yu Xi was teaching Brother Hao, they all listened tactfully and did not interrupt.

Seeing that it was almost the same, Yuxi called the maidservant over to help. The servant girl's hands and feet were nimble, and the two baskets of mustard greens were quickly washed clean.

Yu Xi went into the kitchen, first drained the water with boiling water, sprinkled salt on them before cutting, and then chopped them finely.

After the shepherd's purse was cut, Yuxi took another piece of fresh pork and chopped it into pieces, then added ginger, scallions, salt, and the beaten egg whites, then added water and stirred. Finally, pour in the chopped mustard greens and stir well.

Two quarters of an hour before the meeting, Mama Bai had reconciled. With all the materials ready, Yuxi asked Mama Bai to roll out the dumpling wrappers.

Yuxi took a piece of dumpling wrapper to demonstrate, and said with a smile, "Just make it like this." This dumpling looks easy, but it is not easy to make.

As Yuxi expected, the four brothers either punctured the dumpling skin, put too much stuffing on it, and the appearance of the dumpling was horrible. Even Brother Hao, who has always been very smart, was in a hurry **.

Brother Rui let out a snort, then smiled at Brother Yu and said, "Brother, why did your face become so white all of a sudden." With flour on his face, it naturally turned white.

Brother Yu spread the face of Hao Geer who was making dumplings with his hands dipped in flour, laughed loudly and said, "Brother, your face is even whiter now."

Brother Yu played tricks, and in the end everyone had flour on their faces, not even Yuxi. Yuxi wasn't angry either, instead she smiled happily when she saw Brother Hao who was fighting with Brother Rui.

Jingbai and Meilan came out of the house and said in a low voice: "It's been a long time since I saw the princess so happy." Although the princess always had a smile on her face, she could still feel whether the princess was really happy or not. owned.

Mei Lan nodded, "It's the right thing to come to Zhuangzi this time." In the past two days, the princess has relaxed a lot, and she no longer frowns as before.

For dinner, I ate dumplings, served with stir-fried diced chicken with shepherd's purse, shrimp balls with shepherd's purse, braised pork, hot and sour potato shreds, and stir-fried cucumber.

Brother Hao asked: "Mother, is this cucumber also from the farm? Why didn't we see it along the way?"

Yuxi said with a smile: "Cucumbers are already out of the market in this season, and they were delivered from the greenhouse."

The dumplings served on the table were made by the four Hao Geer brothers themselves. There were not many formed dumplings in a bowl, and the dumpling skins were basically separated from the fillings.

Even if the dumplings made by myself are ugly and unpalatable, you have to grit your teeth and finish them. After Brother Yu finished eating the dumplings in the bowl, he said, "Mom, I'm full."

Yuxi chuckled lightly and said, "Are you full? If you're hungry in the middle of the night, you won't have anything to eat!"

Brother Yu said without hesitation: "Mom, I'm really full." Anyway, he doesn't want to eat this dumpling anymore. This is not called eating dumplings, it is completely eating shepherd's purse broth, and the taste is also very bad. I managed to eat a bowl to the limit, but I couldn't eat any more.

Yuxi smiled and said: "How can such a little food be enough? Let's have another bowl!"

Just as Brother Yu was thinking of finding a reason to refuse, the maid brought the dumplings. The dumplings served this time are white and fat, looking very cute.

Yuxi smiled and said: "This is the authentic shepherd's purse dumpling." What happened just now was completely nonsense.

Brother Yu picked one up, nodded quickly and said, "It's delicious." This dumpling is sweet and delicious, and it's really the same as the one I ate just now.

Yuxi smiled and said: "This shepherd's purse has the effects of invigorating the spleen and diuresis, stopping bleeding and detoxifying, lowering blood pressure and improving eyesight. Eating more of it is good for the body."

Brother You said: "Then I'll eat a few more." As a result, I was full after eating.

The mother and son in Hejiazhuang happily ate shepherd's purse dumplings together, but Yunqing wanted to eat alone.

Yun Qing didn't want to go back to the backyard to eat, so he asked someone to bring the food to the front yard and asked Xu Wu to eat with him.

Xu Wu didn't shirk it, but after eating two mouthfuls of the dish, he said: "This dish is far worse than Mama Bai's." Mama Bai's dishes are full of flavor and flavor, and they like them very much.

Yun Qing said: "It's much better than the food in the barracks." As the coach, Yun Qing fired extra fire. But the chef's skill is worse than that of A Cui.

Xu Wu smiled and nodded, "That's true." Xu Wu actually knew that Yun Qing was in a bad mood, but there was nothing he could do about it. The concubine was so angry this time that she stopped working. All the things are piled up on the prince alone, even if the prince wants to go to Zhuangzi, he has no time.

After dinner, Yun Qing went into the study. Discuss with courtiers during the day and review papers at night. Yunqing's efficiency in processing the papers was lower than that of Yuxi, and there were so many things to do during this period, every time he had to be busy until midnight to finish reviewing the papers.

Xu Daniu muttered: "Speaking of which, the princess is not here, and the whole palace feels quite deserted."

Xu Wu said: "The princess, the son and the second young master are not here, so the palace is naturally deserted." Only the prince and the second princess are left, and the second princess doesn't go out very often, so it's strange if they don't look deserted!

Xu Daniu said: "I don't know when the concubine will come back." The prince has always had a sullen face these two days, which made them very nervous.

Xu Wu said: "When the concubine recovers, she will come back naturally." He didn't know when the concubine would come back, and he probably didn't know what to do with the concubine.

Hearing this, Xu Daniu thought for a while and lowered his voice to Xu Wu: "Boss, now it is rumored that because of Liu's incident, the princess and the prince had a falling out, so they moved to the village in the countryside. Boss, you still have to deal with this matter." Remind the lord!" If there is a big fight, it will not end well at that time.

Xu Wu said with a cold face: "Whoever dares to spread rumors and cause trouble will not be lightly arrested." Those who spread such rumors must have evil intentions. For this kind of people, they can only become successful.

Yun Qing was busy until midnight, and called Xu Wu over before returning to the backyard: "What did the princess do today?"

Xu Wu hesitated for a while and said: "The princess read the book in the morning, then went to the vegetable field to pick vegetables, and cooked a table of vegetables for the son and the others. After lunch, the princess took the four sons to dig shepherd's purse and make dumplings. " Just listening to the reports from the people below, one knows that Yu Xi has been living a good life these past few days.

After being silent for a long time, Yun Qing said: "Xu Wu, do you think the princess is doing well without me?" Yu Xi lived comfortably in Zhuangzi, as if she had completely forgotten him, which made Yun Qing uncomfortable while feeling frustrated.

Xu Wu's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he wanted to comfort Yun Qing, but he swallowed the words abruptly. After weighing it in his heart, Xu Wu said: "My lord, if the princess hadn't married you, she wouldn't have to work so hard." If she married an ordinary man, the princess would not have a prominent position, but life would be easy.

Yun Qing answered irrelevantly and said: "Without the concubine, there would be no me, King Pingxi."

Hearing this, Xu Wu hurriedly said: "Without you, my lord, there would be no princess today. My lord, you and my concubine complement each other and no one can do without the other."

Yun Qing said: "No one can leave anyone? The princess is going to make up with me, and seeing her now, it would be better to leave me." Even when Yuxi said to make up, he was not there. Such panic and fear. Because at that time he felt that Yuxi was only angry about the Liu family, and as long as he apologized sincerely, Yuxi would forgive him. But now he is not sure, because Yuxi is doing well without him.

Xu Wu was so shocked that his face turned pale: "What? The concubine wants to reconcile with you?" No wonder the prince's weather has been so ugly these past two days, it turned out that it was because the concubine wanted to reconcile.

Yun Qing smiled bitterly and said: "Yes! The princess wants to make peace with me." He never thought that one day, Yu Xi would leave him.

Seeing Yun Qing like this, Xu Wu hurriedly said: "My lord, don't take it seriously, the concubine is just in a fit of anger, how can you take what she says in a fit of anger to be true!"

Yun Qing shook his head and said: "Look at the princess's appearance, it's not to scare me." If it was just to scare him, Yuxi wouldn't be so relaxed in Zhuangzi.

Thinking about Yuxi's state on Zhuangzi, Xu Wu didn't know how to comfort Yunqing anymore. After coming over for a while, Xu Wu said: "My lord, no matter what, we must not reconcile. Otherwise, there will be no room for change."

Yun Qing said: "I won't agree." He didn't think about reconciling, but he was very uneasy.

Xu Wu was a little relieved: "My lord, the reason why the princess wants to reconcile is because she is angry in her heart. You have to find a way to calm her down."

Yun Qing also thought about it, but the problem is that he can't leave now: "When the matter at hand is sorted out, I will go to Zhuangzi." When Yu Xi dislikes him, he will not leave. After a long time, Yuxi can always calm down.

ps: O(∩_∩)O~, this shepherd's purse is delicious, but it takes too much effort. (to be continued)
