Chapter 1094: Leisurely Pastoral Life (3)
Yuxi took the four brothers, carried a basket and a shovel and went out. The mother and son walking on the road in the countryside is also a unique scenery.
Brother You pointed to the chrysanthemums on the slope not far away and said, "Mother, there are a lot of chrysanthemums there! "The golden chrysanthemums, clumps and clumps, are particularly beautiful.
Chrysanthemums can be dried and made into chrysanthemum tea later. Brother Hao also thought this idea was good, and said: "Go dig the shepherd's cabbage first, and then come to pick chrysanthemums to dry another day." "There are so many chrysanthemums, I can pick a few baskets.
Yuxi smiled and said, "When the time comes, my mother will make you chrysanthemum cakes to eat!" It is rare to see Brother Hao like a child, and Yuxi is willing to follow him.
After walking for more than a quarter of an hour, I finally arrived at my destination. Brother You'er looked around, and then asked, "Mother, where is the shepherd's cabbage?"
Yuxi pointed to a bush of green stuff on the ground and said, "This is shepherd's cabbage!"
Brother You looked down at what Yuxi pointed at and said, "Is this the shepherd's cabbage?" He still thought that the shepherd's cabbage was the same as the cabbage, one by one!
Bow your head and shovel it, and all you get is the blades, and the roots are gone. Brother You took the leaf and asked, "Mother, is it okay like this?"
Yuxi shook his head, lowered his head and dug out a complete shepherd's cabbage, and then shook it vigorously, shaking off the soil from the roots before putting it in the basket. After doing this, Yuxi said to Brother You'er: "Do you see clearly? ”
Brother You'er nodded and said, "See clearly." He dug in the same way as Yuxi, and as a result, he brought out a lump of mud with all his might. The time it takes to shake this mud alone is enough to dig up several shepherd's cabbage.
Yuxi looked up at Brother You'er and looked at the mud, smiled and didn't speak. Bringing children out is meant to give them a taste of rural life, and relaxing is not just about learning how to dig wild vegetables.
Two quarters of an hour later, Brother You looked at the few lonely shepherd's cabbages in his basket, and then looked at the three elder brothers. found himself the least, and his eldest brother the most.
Brother You moved to Brother Hao'er and said, "Big brother, why did you dig so much?"
Brother Hao glanced at Brother You and said, "Dig seriously, don't be half-hearted, you can dig as much as I do." After saying that, he continued to dig with his head down.
Brother You felt that his eldest brother was very boring, and was about to continue digging, when he suddenly saw a red dragonfly in the distance. Brother You'er dropped the basket and ran to catch the dragonfly.
Brother Rui saw that Yuxi didn't speak, so he also dropped the shovel and followed Brother You'er to catch dragonflies. Only Brother Hao and Brother Xuan were left to dig camellia honestly.
After half a ring, Brother Rui grabbed a dragonfly in his hand, and Brother You held a handful of wild chrysanthemums in his hand. Brother You said to Yuxi: "Mother, we will insert chrysanthemums in your room later." "Her mother likes flowers and plants, and when she is in the palace, there are always two pots of flowers in the house.
Yuxi stood up with a smile and said, "You will be a good person." After speaking, he called Ah Hao and Brother Xuan to go back.
Back in the yard, Yuxi called the four brothers to help wash together. Yuxi said while washing: "This yellow leaf should be removed, and the black spots on the root should also be pinched off......"
Brother You'er heard this, and said, "Mother, why is it so troublesome to eat a shepherd's cabbage dumpling?"
Yuxi smiled and said: "This is just the beginning, you are too troublesome?
Brother You said: "Don't eat shepherd's cabbage dumplings in the future." "It's such a hassle.
Yuxi chuckled and said, "This shepherd's cabbage is just wild vegetables to pick directly outside, and it doesn't take much effort." Do you know how much time and energy it takes to plant these grains, fruits, and vegetables from planting to eating? If a natural disaster occurs, all the hard work of the year will be in vain. ”
Brother Xuan'er's heart was the softest, and after listening to what Yuxi said, he couldn't help but say, "It's not easy for this farmer. ”
Hao Ge'er recited a poem made by the 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 four seas, and the farmers are still starving to death. On the afternoon of hoeing day, sweat drops into the soil. Who knows that Chinese food is hard work. ”
Yuxi said to Brother Hao: "As long as the person in power is wise and governs the country well, even if there is a natural disaster, the government will come forward to provide disaster relief, and the people will still have a way to live, otherwise they will only have a dead end." ”
Brother Hao nodded and said, "Mother, I know." If it can't be supported by the people, no matter how powerful the dynasty is, it won't last long. ”
Yuxi nodded lightly and said, "It's good that you know." ”
When the triplets saw that Yuxi was teaching Brother Hao, they all listened with interest and did not interject.
Yuxi saw that it was about the same, and called the maid to come over to help. The maid's hands and feet were nimble, and the two baskets of mustard greens were quickly washed clean.
Ok-hee went into the kitchen, drained the water with boiling water, sprinkled salt before cutting, and then chopped them finely.
After the shepherd's cabbage was cut, Yuxi took another piece of fresh pork and chopped it, then added ginger and shallots, salt, and then put the beaten egg whites into it, and then added water to stir. Finally, pour in the chopped mustard greens and stir well.
Two quarters of an hour ago, Mother Bai had reconciled. The materials were complete, and Yuxi asked Bai's mother to roll the dumpling skin.
Yuxi took a piece of dumpling wrapper and demonstrated, and said with a smile: "Just wrap it like this." "This dumpling bag looks easy, but it's not easy to make.
As Yuxi expected, the four brothers either punctured the dumpling skin, or the filling was too much to wrap, and then the wrapping looked miserable, even Brother Hao, who has always been smart, was in a hurry.
Brother Rui sighed, and smiled at Brother You'er: "Brother, why did your face become so white all of a sudden." "My face was stained with flour, and it was naturally white.
Brother You smeared his flour-dipped hands on Brother Hao'er's face, who was seriously making dumplings, and laughed: "Big brother, your face is whiter now." ”
Brother Youyou made trouble, and in the end, everyone's faces were stained with flour, and even Yuxi didn't fall. Yuxi was not angry, looking at Brother Hao'er who was fighting with Brother Rui, but laughed heartily.
Jing Bai and Mei Lan came out of the house and whispered, "It's been a long time since I've seen 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.
Meilan bowed: "It's the right thing to come to Zhuangzi this time." In the past two days, the princess has relaxed a lot, and she is no longer always frowning as before.
For dinner, we will eat dumplings with stir-fried chicken with shepherd's cabbage, shrimp balls with shepherd's cabbage, braised pork, hot and sour shredded potatoes and stir-fried cucumbers.
Brother Hao asked, "Mother, is this cucumber also from the farm?" Why didn't we see it all the way?"
Yuxi said with a smile: "Now this season, the cucumbers have long been off the market, and they were sent from the greenhouse." ”
The dumplings sent to the table were made by the four brothers of Brother Hao themselves, and there were few formed dumplings in one bowl, and the dumpling skin and filling were basically separated.
The dumplings you make yourself, even if they are ugly and unpalatable, you have to grit your teeth and eat them. After eating the dumplings in the bowl, Brother You said, "Mother, I'm full." ”
Yuxi chuckled and said, "This is full, if you are hungry in the middle of the night, you have nothing to eat!"
Brother You said without hesitation: "Mother, I'm really full." "Anyway, he doesn't want to eat this dumpling again. This is called eating dumplings, it is completely eating shepherd's cabbage broth, and the taste is also very bad. I have reached the extreme point of eating a bowl of it, but I can't eat it anymore.
Yuxi smiled and said, "How can you eat such a little?
Just when Brother You was thinking about finding some reason to refuse, the maid brought the dumplings. The dumplings served this time are white and chubby, and they look very cute.
Yuxi smiled and said, "This is the authentic shepherd's cabbage dumplings." "Just now, it was all nonsense.
Brother You sandwiched one, nodded hurriedly and said, "It's delicious." "This dumpling is sweet and delicious, and it is really the same heaven and earth as the one I just ate.
Yuxi said with a smile: "This shepherd's cabbage has the effects of strengthening the spleen and water, stopping bleeding and detoxifying, lowering blood pressure and brightening the eye, and eating more is good for the body." ”
Brother You said, "Then I'll eat a few more." "As a result, this one eats, and I can't eat it.
The mother and son of Hejiazhuang happily ate camellia dumplings together, but Yunqing wanted to eat alone.
Yunqing was reluctant to go back to the backyard to eat, so he asked people to bring the food directly to the front yard and called Xu Wu to eat together.
Xu Wu didn't shirk it, but after eating two bites of the dish, he said, "This dish is far worse than what Mother Bai cooked." "The dishes made by Mama Bai are full of flavor and flavor, and they like it very much.
Yun Qing said: "It's much better than the food in the barracks. "Yunqing, as the coach, fired extra fire. However, the chef's skills are worse than Atsui's.
Xu Wu nodded with a smile and said, "This is true. "Xu Wu actually knew that Yunqing was in a bad mood, but there was nothing he could do. The princess was angry this time, and she stopped working. Everything is piled up on the prince alone, and the prince just wants to go to Zhuangzi and has no time.
After dinner, Yunqing entered the study. During the day, he discussed with his courtiers, and at night he reviewed the excerpts. Yunqing's efficiency in dealing with excerpts is lower than that of Yuxi, and there are many things to do during this time, and he has to be busy until midnight to finish reading the excerpts every time.
Xu Daniu muttered: "Speaking of which, the princess is not here, I feel that the entire palace is a lot deserted." ”
Xu Wu said: "The princess, the prince and the second young master are not here, and the palace is naturally deserted. "There are only the prince and the second county lord left, and the second county lord is not a big person, so it's strange if he doesn't seem lonely!
Xu Daniu said: "I don't know when the princess will come back." "The prince has always had a tense face for the past two days, which makes them very nervous.
Xu Wu said: "When the princess recovers, she will naturally come back." "When the princess will come back, he doesn't know in his heart, it is estimated that the prince has no bottom in his heart.
When Xu Daniu heard this, he thought about it and lowered his voice and said to Xu Wu: "Boss, now it is rumored outside that because of the Liu family's matter, the princess and the princess fell out, so she moved to Zhuangzi in the countryside." Boss, you better remind the prince of this!"
Xu Wu said with a cold face, "Whoever dares to spread rumors and make trouble, will not be spared if he is caught." "Those who spread such rumors must be harboring evil intentions. For such people, it can only be done by violent suppression.
Yun Qing was busy until midnight, and before returning to the backyard, he called Xu Wu over: "What did the princess do today?"
Xu Wu hesitated and said, "The princess read the book in the morning, and then went to the vegetable field to pick vegetables, and made a table of dishes for the prince. After lunch, the princess took the four of them to dig up shepherd's cabbage and make dumplings. "Just listening to the replies of the people below, I know that Yuxi has been doing very well these days.
Yun Qing was silent for a long time and then said, "Xu Wu, did you say that without me, the princess is doing well." Yuxi was at ease in Zhuangzi, as if he had completely forgotten him, which made Yunqing uncomfortable and frustrated at the same time.
Xu Wu's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he just wanted to comfort Yunqing, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back vigorously. After weighing it in his heart, Xu Wu said: "Lord, if the princess hadn't married you, she wouldn't have to work so hard. "If you marry an ordinary man, the princess will not have a prominent position, but life will be easy.
Yun Qing replied unexpectedly: "Without the princess, there would be no me, the king of Pingxi." ”
Hearing this, Xu Wu hurriedly said: "Without you, the prince, there would be no princess today." Lord, you and the princess complement each other, and no one can do without anyone. ”
Yun Qing said, "No one can live without anyone, the princess is going to leave me, and seeing her like this, she will be better off without me." Even when Yuxi said that he was leaving, he was not as panicked and scared as he is now. Because at that time, he felt that Yuxi was just angry about the Liu family's affairs, and as long as he sincerely apologized, Yuxi would forgive him. But now he is not sure, because without him, Yuxi is doing well.
Xu Wu's face turned white in shock: "What? The princess wants to reconcile with you?" No wonder the prince is so ugly these two days, it turns out that it is because the princess wants to reconcile.
Yun Qing smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, the princess wants to leave with me." He never thought that one day, Yuxi would leave him.
Seeing Yunqing like this, Xu Wu hurriedly said: "Lord, don't take it seriously, the princess is angry, how can what she said be taken seriously!"
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 would not be so easy in Zhuangzi.
Thinking about Yuxi's state in Zhuangzi, Xu Wu didn't know how to comfort Yunqing. After coming over for a while, Xu Wucai opened his mouth and said, "Lord Wang, no matter what, you must not be separated." Otherwise, there will be no room for maneuvering. ”
Yunqing said: "I will not agree. He didn't think about parting, but he was very uneasy.
Xu Wu was a little relieved: "Lord Wang, the princess wants to reconcile and leave because she is angry in her heart, and you have to think of something to make her angry." ”
Yunqing also thought about it, but the problem was that he couldn't leave now: "When the matter at hand is sorted out, I will go to Zhuangzi." When the time comes, Yuxi hates him, and he won't leave. After a long time, it can always grind Yuxi to discourage.
ps: O(∩_∩)O~, this shepherd's cabbage is delicious, but it takes too much effort.
