Chapter 268 Great Harvest
As Zhao Lan and others left, Su Ruojin devoted his attention to more than 100 acres of sparse vegetable land. As the temperature rose, peppers grew rapidly. Hundreds of kilograms could be harvested every morning, accompanied by leeks, shepherd's purse, and chicken feathers. , water spinach, pickled bamboo shoots harvested at the farm, etc. were shipped to the capital together.
Chinese cabbage is the modern Chinese cabbage. Why did the ancients call it pine cabbage? In the eyes of the ancients, cabbage never withers in the winter and can be seen in all seasons. It has the same integrity as a pine tree, so it is called "Chinese cabbage".
It can be seen that the ancients gave cabbage the properties of pines and cypresses, which is of the highest quality.
Chinese cabbage can be fried or pickled, and it is also an indispensable soul vegetable in hot pot. Su Ruojin has allocated 20 to 30 acres of land to grow it specially all year round.
There is also mustard greens, which, like cabbage, were famous and very popular in ancient times. It can be eaten in many ways, including stir-frying, cold dressing, soup, and stuffing. It was also one of the main vegetables in the Dayin Dynasty. Almost all farmers grew it and they were self-sufficient. However, officials and restaurants living in the capital, etc. All cost money to buy.
Su Ruojin sells some of them fresh, and some of them are cut into fine pieces and pickled by Dong's mother to remove the raw flavor, and then sold to the capital. The pickled ones can be used to make a light soup with eggs, or can be stir-fried into other side dishes, such as stir-fried mustard greens. Edamame, mustard and bamboo shoots, etc.
In addition, mustard has a pungent taste, especially mustard seeds. After being ground into powder, it is called mustard. It can be used as a seasoning, suitable for matching fish, such as "fish mustard sauce". Sashimi should be eaten with mustard sauce.
The vegetables grown by Su Ruojin are all very easy to grow and have high yields. Therefore, from late May to mid-June, in just over 20 days, the income from her vegetable plot increased at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Because we bought a large piece of hillside, the farmhouse only occupies a small area, and the rest of the area is enclosed for livestock composting. Not only is it fattened, but the chickens, ducks, geese and other small poultry can be slaughtered and eaten at a glance.
Su Ruojin was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth. The first batch of mature little roosters were so fresh and tender. She quickly caught ten of them and carried them back to her home in the county. She cooked them on the stove for her parents to eat, ranging from spicy chicken, sweet pot chicken, A large plate of chicken, then stewed in clear soup, ten chickens were eaten in ten ways.
However, Su Yanli couldn't sit at the table to eat. Shu Tong carried them to Tiantangtou to eat.
The county magistrate personally cut the wheat?
Not that, but during the wheat harvest period, he visited a township almost every day. Each township had several villages, and he had to see the wheat harvest with his own eyes. As expected, under his dedicated management, Weizhou County had a bumper summer harvest. .
He was busy until June 12th. Seeing that the day of the crown ceremony for the little prince was coming, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the collected wheat coming into the warehouse and finally sat down to have a meal with his daughter.
A romantic father without any fireworks, he went to the countryside and went to the village. The strong sunshine in June tanned him a little, and he looked like a grassroots official.
Su Ruojin smiled and said, "After drinking the chicken soup, I will make you an egg white mask later to restore your beauty."
Su Yanli almost spit out the soup. He put down the bowl and glared at her, "I think you have to apply it first. You are a little girl who rolls up her sleeves and throws her legs. She works in the fields all day long and is already black. Be careful that Zhao Zijin dislikes you." ”
"Haha, if he dares to dislike me, I will not marry him. I will be an old girl at home and never marry anyone in my life. How comfortable I am."
Su Sanlang felt so good after eating the spicy chicken that he quickly answered, "Sister, I will support you for the rest of my life."
Hey!
Su Yanli reached out and patted her son on the head, "You boy, I think you want to keep your sister at home and make money for you."
"No, no... Dad, I definitely haven't." He patted his chest and said, "Dad, although I am not as good at academics as my elder brother, I can take the martial arts exam, and maybe I can become a general in the future. This way our family can be civilized and martial It's great to have the best of both worlds.”
It was the first time that Su Yanli and his wife knew that their son had this idea. They wanted to open their mouths to say something, but subconsciously glanced at their daughter. The daughter gave a thumbs up to her son with an appreciative look on her face. She picked up a fruit drink with her other hand and said, "Cheers to the young man with ideals." ”
Su Sanlang was so happy to receive the encouragement from his sister that he quickly picked up his fruit drink, "I will definitely live up to my sister's expectations."
"Come on, young man." The two siblings clinked their glasses and drank the fruit drink in one go. They were so happy!
Su Yanli and his wife looked at each other and said, okay, the eldest son will be the family leader, and let the second son do whatever he likes. As long as the child is happy, that's fine. The two of them smiled and said no more negative or negative words.
After eating, Su Ruojin applied the egg white mask herself. She really wanted to apply it on him, but Su Yanli refused to say anything, "A man is more mature and manly when he is exposed to the sun. The mask is white and looks like a pretty boy. What does it look like?" ”
Look what this says.
"Dad, I'll give you a compress to relieve the sunburn and return you to your original appearance. But I can't make you whiter and more tender. According to your wishes, you used to be..." Pretty boy.
Smelly girl, such a grown-up wants to be beaten.
Su Yanli hadn't used a feather duster in many years. Su Ruojin smiled and lay down behind her mother, "Mrs. Cheng, do you also like to see Mr. Su who is fair and fair?"
Cheng Yingzhen:…
Why did the fight between you father and daughter hinder her?
No one was standing, so Cheng Yingzhen pretended that she didn't hear it.
Seeing that Su Yanli insisted on beating him up, Su Ruojin had no choice but to move out of Prince Jin's Mansion, "Dad, we have to go to Prince Jin's Mansion to attend Zhao Zijin's coronation ceremony. We can't embarrass Brother Jin."
Su Yanli: ...This kid always looks for his weaknesses.
Su Ruojin taught her mother with a smile, "You and dad can just apply it if you have nothing to do in the future. In addition to egg whites, there are also cucumber slices, rice noodles, etc. I will write down several facial mask recipes later. It is best for you and dad to apply it every day." Apply it at night..."
When Su Yanli heard that he had to apply it every day, he couldn't help but knock melon seeds on her forehead, "Your mother can just apply it every day. I'm not an actress, so I'm just applying it."
Su Ruojin felt aggrieved and said, "Who allowed my father to be born like this? My daughter can't bear for him to grow old."
"You..." Su Yanli felt that if he continued to talk to this girl, he would be angry to death, "Come on, you'd better go ahead and torment Zhao Zijin."
Su Ruojin:…
Su Yanli went to the countryside, and his face was indeed sunburned. His daughter caught him and applied it on his face. He mixed egg white and honey and applied it on his face for half a quarter of an hour. After washing it, he reached out and touched it. It was indeed a lot slippery. Skin flakes are gone.
Early the next morning, Su Ruojin was going back to the Xishan vegetable fields.
Su Yanli was confused, "Tomorrow is thirteen, today you go to the vegetable field and come back in the evening?"
Su Ruojin shook her head, "Dad, you will start from the county town tomorrow, and I will start from the vegetable field. We will meet at the Zhangjia Inn in the evening."
"Can't we go together?"
Su Ruojin sighed, "Ning Baniang and Miss Zhong are in the vegetable field. I have to take them with me."
