Zhumen Chunshen

Chapter 315

"Second sister, thank you!" Xie Fuyun was overjoyed, took two steps back and bowed to Yao Cunhui.

"Oh, I can't bear such a big gift from my brother-in-law! Don't do that!" Yao Cunhui hurriedly waved his hands and smiled sideways to avoid it.

"Second sister can afford it," Xie Fuyun said sternly, "This is a great thing that benefits the common people and has immeasurable merit! Second sister is selfless in her heart, even the common people in the world can afford it, how can they not bear it!"

Yao Cunhui was startled, and smiled a little embarrassedly.

Shen Quan also smiled slightly, looking at his wife with approval.This is tantamount to her exclusive patent, she can use it to ask for rewards from the imperial court or to make huge profits, but she didn't do that, instead, she just talked about it to promote the world, how can he not be praised or surprised?She was born in an imperial merchant, not a woman raised in a deep boudoir. It is impossible for her not to know how lucrative the profits are here.

Several people sat down again, discussing this matter enthusiastically, getting more and more excited as they talked.Xie Fuyun already had a preliminary idea in his mind. When he went back, he would develop and transform the corresponding weaving and weaving techniques as soon as possible, and at the same time expand the scale of planting. If it goes well, I believe that within two or three years, certain results will be seen.

"Second Sister, why don't you buy a piece of land and plant some more, next year we will have all your produce from the Xie family." Xie Fuyun knew that she would definitely not want to pay Yao Cunhui the money at this time, and it also hurt her kindness. .It's better to encourage her to plant more, so that she can be compensated for the purchase price in the future.Moreover, he can't guarantee whether his planting will be successful, and it is always safer to have one more source.

Yao Cunhui had this intention in the first place, and after hearing Xie Fuyun's words, his heart became even more excited, and he couldn't help but look at Shen Quan.

Shen Quan was in a difficult situation for a while, of course the Zhuangzi of the Shen family couldn't be used to plant this, otherwise the old matriarch and elders would definitely say that he was messing around and doting on his daughter-in-law and doting on his wife has not changed!Even if he doesn't care, he doesn't want people to gossip about Yao Cunhui.

As for his own private property, there are several shops and two courtyards, but there is really no land.

"I'll ask someone to visit and buy some land in the suburbs of Beijing. You can see how much you want!" Shen Quan said.

Yao Cunhui's heart was moved, and he laughed quickly: "The land around this Zhuangzi is very suitable for growing cotton. Just buy the surrounding land of a hundred acres and put it away first. This year's seeds are not many, and I can't plant many! I want to grow cotton in Shandong. Over there, we will slowly buy [-] to [-] mu first, and it will not be too late to expand the scale in the future!"

Xie's family couldn't help being speechless, Xindao's sister-in-law's appetite has never been small, one mouthful is tens of thousands of acres!Judging from her tone, this is still "buy first".

Shen Quan naturally had no objection and nodded.Thinking about going back and asking someone to visit is appropriate.

Xie Fuyun became a little frustrated and sighed: "Second Sister is right, even if there is land now, it is useless if there are not enough seeds!"

The seeds he brought to Yao Cunhui last year were only three or four hundred, and he did it purely for fun.Selfishly speaking, it was to please his beloved wife, and he knew how much his beloved wife valued this younger sister!Sure enough, my beloved wife was delighted to see that he cared so much about his sister, and let him do whatever he wanted in those few nights, willing to pose in any position, how gentle and considerate, truly ecstasy, it made him want to be completely on her body, Thinking about it still made him feel hot.

Now Yao Cunhui has been able to double the seeds several times, which is already rare, but unfortunately, it is still far from enough for the demand.And Yao Cunhui also said that if you really want to expand the scale in the future, you have to specially cultivate and optimize the seeds. The seeds that grow in this field may degenerate after two or three generations.

"Brother-in-law, I don't know if you can find the businessman who gave you the seeds. Why don't you ask him to get some more! Anyway, even if the cotton is planted again in May and June, it will be barely enough time! It's better to plant late than never! "

After hearing this, Xie Fuyun was overjoyed, knocked himself on the head a few times and laughed and said, "I'm really confused, thanks to my second sister reminding me!" Even if that merchant is not in Dazhou now, there are other merchants, since there is such a Something, someone else will always know.It's a pity that the journey is far away, and I don't know when I will be able to bring the seeds back!
Everyone couldn't help laughing.

After discussing for a while, Yao Cunhui ordered someone to carefully wrap the seeds and cotton and take them away, and the group returned to Xingling Village.

In the afternoon, barbecue on the grass next to the waterfall behind Zhuangzi.The servants have already cleaned up the venue and everything is ready.Under a large locust tree with luxuriant branches and pavilions like an umbrella, there are exquisite reed mats, and on the soft mats are spread exquisite and soft brocade carpets, beside which there are tea tables, table cases, tea, pastries, and fruits. , There are also two blue and white flower statues, with yellow, purple, rose red and pink chrysanthemums inserted.Yao Cunhui and the other four were sitting on the soft mat brocade carpet, chatting and laughing, the nanny, Luhe, and Luye were playing on the grass with Brother Yan, and Brother Yan was babbling for some reason, which made the nanny and the others laugh .

Not far from there is a small stove for boiling water. The little maid is fanning the wind and boiling new water to make tea. After a while, there is a slight sound of gurgling water, and clouds of white mist emerge from the mouth of the small copper stove. come out.

On the downwind side, the maids and servants have already begun to spread the seasoning and barbecue. The roasts are all kinds of wild game hunted yesterday, as well as fresh meat such as mutton, beef, pork, chicken, fish, shrimp, etc. prepared by the maid in charge. There was a piece of salted venison left over from yesterday.

The big yellow dog and the little yellow dog raised in Zhuangzi anxiously wagged their tails and turned around, barking to please them from time to time.Seeing that they had prepared a lot of food today, the maids threw some meat to them from time to time, and laughed as they watched them snatch food.

Yao Cunhui smelled the smell of meat in the afternoon, so he ran over and turned around. Seeing that it was all meat, he smiled and ordered some vegetables to be roasted, which made the maid in charge laugh, thinking Yao Cunhui was joking.Isn't barbecue all barbecue?Does anyone roast vegetables?
Seeing their smiles, Yao Cunhui said seriously, "I'm telling the truth, don't you believe me! These roasted vegetables have a special taste!" Then he ordered them to prepare eggplants, leeks, cabbage, green vegetables, beans, mushrooms, and tofu , bean gluten, etc., neatly use a thin iron drill to string the vegetables in rows, brush with oil and put them on the wire mesh to roast, brush with chili oil from time to time, sprinkle some pepper, salt, etc., demonstrate to Ladies and gentlemen, everyone was amazed when they saw it, and they smiled and praised the princess for her fresh mind!
Yao Cunhui asked someone to take over the work in his hand, then cut the washed eggplant in half vertically, and then rolled and cut several times horizontally to keep the skin intact, put it on the wire mesh and roasted it, spreading seasonings from time to time , Then put it on a long plate, drip vinegar, sprinkle garlic, and before the maids came up, I happily took it to Shen Quan, Yao Cunjia and others.

"Come on, come on, try my roasted eggplant!" Yao Cunhui offered it with a smile as if offering a treasure, and looked at them eagerly.

Xie Fuyun was taken aback, and couldn't help laughing out loud, "Second sister, thanks for thinking it out!"

"It tastes very good, you'll know if you try it!" Yao Cunhui curled her lips, took a serving chopsticks and a small plate, and handed it to Yao Cunjia: "Sister!"

Seeing the smoky look of the eggplant, Yao Cunjia felt a chill in his heart, but her dear sister offered it with both hands. It's ingenious, it's delicious!" Saying that, he began to eat.

Yao Cunhui glanced at Xie Fuyun triumphantly, and fed it to Shen Quan with her own hands. Shen Quan opened his mouth to eat, and praised with a smile: "It's delicious!"Yao Cunhui smiled openly, and hurriedly picked up another chopstick and put it in his mouth.

Yao Cunjia looked over by chance, his face became hot, and he hurriedly avoided his eyes, but he was very happy in his heart.At first, I was worried that my sister's stubborn and tough temperament would be at odds with the prince. After all, how many generals on the battlefield can have a soft heart?Don't want to be so harmonious, she can finally feel at ease!
Xie Fuyun was even more stunned, and then felt a little cold all over his body. Is this the legendary King of Hades who kills people without blinking his eyes?Don't be fake!

"My lord, my concubine! Thank you, Mr. Xie, Mrs. Xie, the meat is ready!" Just as they were talking and laughing, the maidservants came over with trays, on which there were all kinds of skewered meats on the porcelain plate, golden in color and brazing. The steaming heat, and a plate of roasted vegetables, bright green, all exude a tempting aroma.

Several people sat down and chatted while eating.There is a bamboo chicken that was hunted yesterday and roasted whole. It is bigger than a fist. The golden skin is shiny with oil. Yao Cunhui took it in his hand after washing his hands and ate it. The outside is charred and tender, and the taste is very delicious. Then he tore off a leg and handed it to his sister.Shen Quan saw that she liked venison and yellow mutton yesterday, so he hurriedly picked some up and fed them to her.Yao Cunhui couldn't help laughing and said: "I still remember the roasted whole lamb in Luntai. It tastes really good. It's a pity that I can't taste it again!"

After hearing this, Shen Quan said: "What's so difficult? You have a taste of my craftsmanship!" He asked someone to take a piece of mutton chop weighing three to five catties from the yellow sheep hunted yesterday, and said with a smile: "Although it is not roasted Whole lamb is barely worth it, you will know it after you taste it! It’s a pity that there are no scallions and ginger here, and it’s best to use that to rub the roast mutton!”

"Okay, I really haven't tasted your cooking!" Yao Cunhui applauded happily, saying that he would watch him bake in person, and the two greeted and walked over with a smile.

Yao Cunjia hurriedly handed her a plate of Lingfen cake and said with a smile: "Don't just eat that, eat some pastries to fill your stomach!" Yao Cunhui agreed to take it.

"Second sister got married and has a childish temper!" Xie Fuyun looked at the backs of the two talking and leaving, and approached Yao Cunjia with a smile.

"It's rare for her to be so happy! I've rarely seen her so happy before! It seems that the prince really loves her and treats her well!" Yao Cunjia said softly with a smile.

"So I said—cough," Xie Fuyun almost blurted out, "So I said, the two of them must have seen each other for a long time." For fear that Yao Cunjia would annoy him, he stopped abruptly in the middle of the conversation.

"So what did you say?" Yao Cunjia raised his eyes curiously and asked.
