Chapter 61: Sugar Gourd
"I don't know what happened to the crown princess and the little princess?" Rong Xia thought of the crown princess who was far away in the capital, and couldn't help but say with some nostalgia. The crown princess was very good to her, and Rong Xia had personally taken care of the little princess for such a long time, so she had already developed a lot of feelings for that child, and she was very worried about it at this time.
"Don't worry, the emperor loves the imperial grandson very much, and has taken him by his side to raise him personally. The crown princess was also quite flattering, and ordered the crown princess to be a first-class princess and concubine, and enjoyed 3,000 quintals of rice every year. As for the little princess, although her body is still not very healthy, it is not hindered by her life. ”
"That's ......" Rong Xia heard him say this, and felt that the crown princess should be doing well, and couldn't help showing a happy look on her face: "It seems that the crown princess has finally walked out of the shadow of the prince's death." You don't know, when the bad news first came, the crown princess Niangniang's whole body collapsed, I was really scared, so she just went with her. ”
When Pei Jinzhi heard this, he suddenly raised his head, glanced at her and said, "If one day I also die, will Ah Xia be sad for me like the crown princess is sad for the prince?"
"What nonsense is the young master talking about, how can you die!" The smile on the corner of Rong Xia's mouth became lighter, and he said with a frown.
Pei Jinzhi shook his head, but his eyes looked directly at Rong Xia: "The world is impermanent, and no one knows what tomorrow will look like." ”
"The young master won't die. Rong Xia completely lost his smile, lowered his head and said in a muffled voice.
Pei Jinzhi looked at her fixedly for a long time, and he didn't know what he remembered, so he suddenly shook his head and said, "It's also right......"
Rong Xia frowned: "What does the young master mean when he is right?"
"What the young master means is that the young master will not die earlier than Ah Xia. Pei Jinzhi took a sip of the wild wine in the glass, the smell of wine stained his cheeks, making his handsome face flush faintly, and he said to Rong Xia in a very relaxed tone: "Young Master's Ah Xia is stupid and stupid, Young Master can rest assured that she will be left alone in the world." ”
"So don't talk about such bad words......" said to Pei Jin very seriously: "Both of us have to live well." ”
There is only one life, it is so precious, and there are so many unfinished things, how can you die like this!
Perhaps because he felt that this topic was too heavy, Rong Xia soon talked about something else, and Pei Jinzhi listened while drinking, but looked at Rong Xia's gaze with an indescribable depth.
Wild wine drank a sweet and sour fruity aroma, but in the final analysis, it was still wine, Pei Jinzhi drank a whole jar, at this time he couldn't help but be a little upset, Rong Xia waited for him to wash and change clothes, and then stuffed the person into the bed. Pei Jinzhi closed his eyes and soon fell asleep. Rong Xia looked at his cheeks that had lost a lot of weight, knowing that he was busy these days, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed, and decided to make a few delicious meals in the past few days to make up for him.
At dawn the next day, Rong Xia got up early in the morning, first went to the chicken pen to take a look, fed Gong Xi and Fa Cai the big bones with milk, and then went back to the kitchen to wash his hands and start making breakfast. Pei Jinzhi said that today is Mu Xiu, and he doesn't have to go to the yamen to "work", which is a rare day off. Rong Xia cooked red bean porridge for breakfast, and golden egg scones with sauce and lettuce ham.
"Young master, morning!" Rong Xia saw Pei Jinzhi appear at the door of the kitchen, and hurriedly said, "It's okay soon, you go to the table and sit down first." “
Pei Jinzhi sighed, glanced at Rong Xia, who was busy, and nodded in a good mood.
Jinhua and Yinhua are very close to Rong Xia, but when facing Pei Jin, they are extremely restrained, and even faintly afraid. It's no wonder that Pei Erye's temperament is already very cold, and at first glance he is the kind of person who is not easy to get close to, thinking that back then, Rong Xia also mustered up a lot of courage to dare to talk to him.
Jinhua quickly picked up the dishes on the table and pulled her sister down. Rong Xia looked at their fast backs and shouted, "There is your share in the pot, hurry up and eat it." ”
"Got it. Jinhua shouted happily.
Pei Jinzhi tasted a mouthful of red bean porridge, and suddenly a smell of beans rushed into his mouth, rich and mellow, and delicious. Pei Jinzhi squinted his eyes a little comfortably, and Rong Xia put the rolled egg scones on the tray in front of him: "There is a sweet and spicy sauce in it, it is newly pickled this year, young master, try it!"
Pei Jinzhi sighed, and asked while eating the fragrant cakes: "Can you two girls use it?" If you don't like it, go buy a few more... ”
"Goldenrod and Honeysuckle are very good children. Rong Xia sighed: "Their background is actually very pitiful, Jinhua Yinhua's father was a carpenter, her mother died early, it was all her father who pulled the two of them to grow up, who would have expected that there was a flood in their hometown last year, Jinhua Yinhua's home was not only gone, but even their father died because of the flood." The two of them fell into the hands of a distant uncle, whose family was not well-off and his heart was not very good, and finally sold the two of them to Ya Pozi. ”
Rong Xia has Qi Yan here, but Pei Jinzhi has a calm face, and there are a few people who are willing to sell themselves as slaves for the rest of their lives who are not miserable and can't survive. Only Ah Xia will always sigh sadly for this "commonplace" thing. It is rare for Pei Jinzhi to rest, and today's weather is very good. Rong Xia took him to the neighborhood for a walk, Pei Jinzhi nodded happily, the two of them cleaned up, changed into thick clothes and went out.
"Ah, Rong Niangzi, your father-in-law is back! Tut-tut, what a handsome offspring, Rong Niangzi, you are really blessed!" Rong Xia and the others had just walked a few steps out of the house, and they met Sister-in-law Liu. She had a dirt basket on her arm, and she didn't know what to do.
Rong Xia was called "Rong Niangzi" one by one in front of Pei Jinzhi, and she was still fair-minded, and she was suddenly embarrassed. However, Pei Jinzhi on the side naturally continued: "This is Sister-in-law Liu, I often hear my lady mention your care for her, thank you here." With that, he arched his hand towards the other party. Sister-in-law Liu saw such a handsome and noble man treating herself with such courtesy, and her heart suddenly burst into joy, and she said: Don't dare. bluntly praised Rong Xia to Pei Jin, and praised Rong Xia as a red trumpet flower.
Finally got out of Sister-in-law Liu's enthusiasm, Rong Xia only felt like a fire, and (w) shy and regretful, I knew that I would stay at home honestly, and come out for a walk. So in the following time, Rong Xia remained silent throughout the whole process (in fact, he was still secretly entangled). Pei Jinzhi was in a good mood and walked back and forth along his yard.
After visiting the countryside, the two returned home. When he had nothing to do, Rong Xia remembered that someone had sent more than half a basket of hawthorn a few days ago, so he had the idea of making sugar gourds. Just do it, Rong Xia and Jinhua began to sift hawthorn and boil sugar coating. The method of sugar gourd is actually very simple, and Rong Xia and the others only worked hard for half a day to make fifty strings of sugar gourd.
Carefully leave the finished sugar gourd outside to dry. In the evening, the shiny sweet and sour rock sugar gourd is ready.
"You go and send some to Sister-in-law Liu, Sister-in-law Wang, and Sister-in-law Li's house. They have a lot of children, so you can leave a few more strings. ”
"Okay!" Jinhua said happily and went out happily.
Rong Xia thought about it, picked up two strings by himself, and went out to find Pei Jinzhi.
"Indecent. Pei Jinzhi said.
Rong Xia knew what he was referring to, and the appearance of this sugar gourd was quite indecent.
"Anyway, it's just the two of us here, so what does it matter if it's indecent. Rong Xia smiled and handed him a string, and he also held a string in his hand, and opened his mouth with a whin, and a red and shiny hawthorn was caught in her mouth. Whew, it's so sweet and sour.
Pei Jinzhi saw Rong Xia eating there alone, and looked at the sugar gourd that was forcibly stuffed in his palm, frowned slightly, in the end, he still opened his mouth and tasted it, the taste of hawthorn is actually very rushing, but the cooked hawthorn is mixed with honey, not only does it lose the sour and astringent taste of the nose, but it is very refreshing.
So, after a while, all the whole sugar gourds in Pei Jinzhi's hands were eaten into his stomach.
After waiting for the eldest master to clean his hands, Rong Xia suddenly asked stupidly on a whim: "Young master, you say, I will make more sugar gourds and sell them in the county, there should be a lot of people buying them!"
"Asha is short of money?"
"Oh? no, that's not it. Rong Xia shook his head.
Rong Xia's biggest profit now is the safflower share of [Red as Fire]. In just a few years, delicious and inexpensive hot pot restaurants have blossomed everywhere, radiating to all parts of the country, and now there are a full eighteen stores across the country. Although Rong Xia excused herself in every possible way, Pei Jinzhi still gave her a part of the dividend. So strictly calculated, the current Rong Xia can really be regarded as a little rich woman with a rolling belt.
"Forget it, I'm just talking about it. "For one thing, there are no hawthorns to pick this season. Second, the method of making sugar gourd is very simple, basically buy it back and know what is going on after a little research, and third, Rong Xia imagined herself selling it on the street: "Sugar gourd, sour and sweet rock sugar gourd, a string of five pennies, not delicious and no ......money", she decisively found that she was definitely not that material.
