Chapter 255 Marriage Kimchi
Ning Ning couldn't listen. She followed Su Ruojin wherever he went. She didn't even go back at night and wanted to sleep on the same bed as Su Ruojin.
Su Ruojin thought the young lady was joking casually, until after dinner, she was about to ask Mang Zhong to take the young lady home. The servants of the Ning Mansion brought bedding and clothes and stood waiting at the door of her room.
"Ning Baniang?" Are you serious?
Ning Ning nodded proudly, "I will sleep with you tonight."
Su Ruojin's whole body felt bad.
In her previous life, her parents were divorced and she lived with her grandparents, but she had her own crib and always slept alone. In this life, although she has many brothers and sisters, apart from sleeping in the same bed with her parents as a baby, she has slept with her since her eldest brother was born. I started sleeping alone.
I'm really not used to sleeping on the same bed as someone else!
Su Ruojin stood at the door of the room, looking at the pampered little lady in front of her. The Ning family was not only a first-class palace, but also a general with a large number of soldiers. It was the top wealthy family in the Yin Dynasty. To put it in an exaggerated way, if they Whatever you want, as long as you don't seek to usurp the throne, it probably won't be difficult.
If Ning Guogong's palace insists on marrying with Jin's palace, he will probably find a way to achieve it, but now he allows a young lady to come and disturb her. What does it mean?
Could it be that after the new emperor ascended the throne, everything was still on track and everything was still a grassroots team? Just let the ladies fight among themselves? Whoever grabs Zhao Lan belongs to him?
Even if we want to rob him, the target of the attack should be Zhao Lan now. What's the point of running to her?
Seeing Su Erniang standing motionless at the door, Ning Ning raised her chin and urged her, "Come in!"
Su Ruojin sighed and said with a fake smile, "I think you should solve it in the most direct and straightforward way."
"Ah? What?" Ning Ning obviously didn't understand, and looked at the young lady opposite with doubtful eyes.
"Give me a large denomination of money?"
Ning Ning: ...I don't understand. I don't know what she is talking about.
Su Ruojin coughed, raised her head suddenly, and said with a condescending look, "Brother Zhao, who left me with one million taels of silver."
Ning Ning was stunned for a moment, then laughed until she couldn't stand upright, and tears fell from her eyes.
Su Ruojin stood at the door, looking at her calmly and smiling the whole time.
Ning Ning's maid was frightened to death when she saw her little master laughing so hard that she couldn't breathe. She slapped her on the back and prayed, and it took a long time to coax her little master not to laugh.
"Miss Ning, aren't you laughing?"
Ning Ning almost failed again, holding back and waving her hands, "It's true that I like Zhao Lan, but it's also true that we have no fate. Now I just want to see what the little lady Zhao Lan misses looks like..."
"I've already said that I have two eyes, one nose and one mouth just like you. Miss Ning, you can see that I won't sleep in the same bed with others." I'm not familiar with him, so it's really weird.
The young lady in front of her was very conflicted and had no intention of giving in. Ning Ning sighed, "This is the first time I have met someone who doesn't welcome me. Well...since you don't like me so much, then put me next to you." Let's go to the guest room.” I won't go back anyway.
Taking a step back, Su Ruojin reluctantly accepted and asked Chunxiao Qiuyue to arrange a guest room for her.
Ning Ning really settled down like this. She was obviously one year older than Su Ruojin, but she followed Su Ruojin all day long, like a little sister. She really only watched her doing housework, going to the kitchen, and going out to buy food and clothing. of.
It wasn't until the end of the first month or the first day of February that Ning Ning returned to the capital.
Su Ruojin finally felt relieved without the follower, but Su Sanlang was disappointed and unhappy, "Sister, when do you think Ning Qilang will come to Weizhou County again?"
During the few days Ning Ning was at Su's house, Ning Qilang came over every day before lunch, obviously to see his sister, but in fact just to have lunch. But in order not to waste lunch, he took Su Sanlang and Su Silang out to play in the afternoon.
Either riding horses, playing polo, or playing Cuju, or going to the Xishan Mountains to hunt birds and rabbits. The two brothers from the Su family went crazy following them.
If it were Su Ruojin, he probably wouldn't want him to leave. What an interesting life!
Su Xiaomei glared at her two brothers, "Ning Baniang came here to steal my brother-in-law."
Su Sanlang was the first to not believe it, "No way, Sister Ning doesn't look like such a person!"
Su Xiaomei curled her lips, "I think you were deceived by Ning Qilang."
Su Sanlang: ...Ning Qilang is eight or nine years older than him, how can you lie to him?
Su Ruojin looked at her eldest brother who was impressed by Ning Qilang, who was good at playing, fighting and knowledgeable, and glanced at him, "Little follower."
Su Sanlang: ...He wanted to refute, but Sister A's words seemed to be correct. Cheng Yingzhen was tensed up because there was a guest at home. As the Ning family brothers and sisters left, she finally relaxed and asked in confusion, "Ajin, Miss Ning really wants to rob Prince Zhao?"
Su Ruojin shook her head, "She is just curious about what kind of young lady Prince Zhao likes."
"That's it?" Why didn't Cheng Yingzhen believe it?
"Yes." Su Ruojin comforted her mother, "If you really want to rob her, she will use other means instead of asking your family to find a way. It is impossible for her to live in our house."
But the child talks about Prince Zhao all day long, and gets along well with his daughter. "Could it be that she wants to marry Prince Zhao with you?"
Su Ruojin was almost shocked by her mother and couldn't help but blurt out, "Mom, Duke Ningguo took advantage of the jealousy between the young ladies to investigate dad and you."
Cheng Yingzhen's eyes widened in shock, "What do you mean?"
Su Ruojin reminded, "Your eldest son is celebrating his 16th birthday."
"What...Ajin, you mean the real goal of the Ning family is your brother?"
Su Ruojin nodded, "But it's not Ning Baniang, it may be other young ladies in Duke Ning's palace."
In the first half of the sentence, Cheng Yingzhen's heart was pounding nervously, and in the second half her eyes were filled with confusion, "Others?" She thought for a while and said, "There are two legitimate daughters of Ning Guogong, and one is the eldest daughter, who has been married long ago. The child is probably as old as Ning Baniang, is she a concubine? "
The Ning family was a first-class royal family. Their concubine married the eldest son of Su, so she was considered a perfect match. However, Cheng Yingzhen was a concubine herself and knew that the upbringing of a concubine in the family was far inferior to that of a legitimate daughter.
After the surprise, there was sadness, "My abilities are limited, I hope your eldest brother will find a capable eldest daughter." If the Duke of Ningguo insists on a marriage, it will be difficult for the Su family to refuse!
Looking at her mother's sorrow, Su Ruojin put her arms around her neck, "At the moment, I'm just guessing whether it's true or not. I guess we'll know if it's true after my uncle's wedding or when Prince Zhao returns to Beijing."
Zhao Lan is twenty years old this year. The ancients were very particular and cautious in holding the crowning ceremony. The father or elder brother would preside over the crowning ceremony in the ancestral temple. The auspicious day for the coronation ceremony avoided Princess Yuehua's wedding month - March, and chose June. In the eyes of the ancients, it represented all the harmony. This was also the love of the King and his wife. When the time came, Su Yanli Will take the whole family to Beijing to attend the coming-of-age ceremony of my future son-in-law.
Thinking about it carefully, there seem to be a lot of big events this year. March is the wedding of Princess Yuehua and her brother-in-law, June is the wedding of Zhao Lan, and September is the engagement between Zhao Lan and Su Ruojin. One after another, it seems very busy!
Cheng Yingzhen also thought about it, and couldn't help but feel a little nervous, "Ajin, what will happen if I can't do it well?"
Su Ruojin shook her head, "Mom, I can't."
When proposing marriage in the first month of the year, Zhao Lan found an experienced housekeeper for the Su family, and also gave her a trained maid. Although her mother, the matron of the house, learned late, she was already pretty good.
Now, apart from making some delicious food, Su Ruojin has basically let go of all the big and small things at home, letting Cheng Yingzhen take over completely. After all, no matter how capable she is, she will still be married. What Su Yanli and his wife will have to get along with in the future are their son, daughter-in-law and wife. Children and grandchildren, in addition to loving their children, should also have the ability to handle family affairs. Only by being able to run a family can their lives get better and better.
As soon as the first lunar month passed and the second dragon raised its head in the second lunar month, the weather began to gradually get warmer and people entered into normal social life, doing business and farming.
Su Ruojin took her precious chili seeds to the foot of Xishan Mountain and started her chili business.
In early February, Su Ruojin collected all the woks in the fields and sold them to the capital. Seeing so many woks, she couldn't help but made kimchi using the existing peppers. Through fermentation, it can not only extend the shelf life, but also make kimchi. It also adds a unique flavor. In the era of material scarcity, this is a perfect food tool. Of course, when you eat a lot of fish and meat, it is also a perfect tool to relieve tiredness.
Speaking of pickles, the most famous one is definitely the pickles from Bangzi Kingdom, but in fact the pickles from China are more delicious. Even many pickles on the market in Bangzi Kingdom come from China.
In the small wooden house like a paradise, Su Ruojin and Mao Ya and others were busy washing, cutting and pickling.
Just cleaning and drying it took two to three days, and cutting it took another half a day.
The most technical test is to make kimchi water. Add water, pepper, star anise, cinnamon and other spices to the pot and bring to a boil. Then add salt and white wine, put it in a cleaned kimchi jar and cool it. When it is completely cool, cut the kimchi. Put the vegetables into the kimchi jar, make sure the vegetables are completely soaked in the kimchi water, and finally seal and ferment.
For better fermentation, clean water needs to be poured into the tank to isolate the air. Then place the jar in a cool and ventilated place and keep the water in the sink from drying out. Fermentation time depends on the type of vegetables and personal taste preference, usually a few days to about a week.
It should be noted that contamination with oil and raw water should be avoided during the entire production process, so as not to affect the quality and taste of the kimchi.
Seven days later, Su Ruojin cooked millet porridge to eat with kimchi. After taking a bite, the crispy, sour and spicy taste was very good.
"No, no, it can't just be served with porridge, I have to order some pork belly." Su Ruojin shouted, "Uncle Hua, help me go to the town and buy ten pounds of pork belly. I want barbecue with kimchi."
Buying pork belly for a kimchi?
Huaping was immediately speechless, but when he bought the pork belly and grilled it until it was sizzling with oil, and wrapped it in pickled cabbage and ate it, he shut up instantly. It was so delicious.
