At this moment, a mother-in-law reported outside: "Madam, the Hou Ye sent a letter to say that the prince of the Liaodi Governor and the son of the governor of Nuer Gandu are here, and a few scribes and Confucians have come to let the little newspaper and the lady know." ”

Qiu Chen didn't think that Zhao Yuzhen had little knowledge, but felt that Zhao Yuzhen was a little too urgent, and he was anxious to take pregnancy promotion drugs less than a month after he got married...... However, thinking about it, this is also a characteristic of the times, not Zhao Yuzhen alone, Qiu Chen is not easy to say, he only vaguely agreed, thinking of changing the topic and saying something else.

Yi Xuan naturally didn't say a word, and agreed gratefully. Turning the topic, he talked about Qin Yao's wife Zhao Yuzhen: "The third brother and daughter-in-law look like a cool one, but after all, she is from a small family, and her knowledge is inevitably limited, so she has to entrust it to her sister-in-law and point at her a few times." ”

This was a little sudden, but it was also reasonable, and Qiu Chen said naturally: "Okay, you should go back when your body is better, and it is not okay to let your uncle alone without taking care of it." However, in the second half of the morning, I asked the Imperial Doctor and Doctor Mu to come over and ask for a pulse, and make sure that there was no obstacle to the long journey before leaving. ”

Yixuan's husband, Zhai Dagongzi, served as a county magistrate in Changqing, and foreign officials could not enter Beijing without being summoned. Seeing the Chinese New Year, Yixuan naturally wanted to go back to reunite with her husband and celebrate the New Year together.

After a soft sigh of relief, Yi Xuan rejoiced, wiped away the tears on her face, smiled and nodded again and again, and said: "Seeing that I am about to enter the wax moon, my body is also stable, I am thinking, Ming'er will leave with my sister-in-law and go back to Changqing." ”

Qiu Chen put down the teacup, smiled and took Yi Xuan's hand and patted it gently, and said, "It's good to say that you are polite, the more you talk, the more energetic you get...... Alright, alright, I know what you want. If you weren't Yun'er Chang'er's aunt, you weren't our grandfather's sister-in-law...... Take 10,000 steps back and say, if it weren't for you and me, I wouldn't have done this...... Since you are Yun'er's aunt and my sister-in-law, we are in this agreement like this...... What am I not supposed to do? Why do you compare all of these? ”

As she spoke, Yi Xuan was emotional, and she choked up and couldn't speak with tears shining for a while.

The two of them laughed, each took tea and drank it, Yi Xuan said in a deep voice: "Sister-in-law, I was grateful to you for supporting my heart before, and this time, I have to thank you for taking care of me...... There are also two boys and Mingwei girl......"

Yi Xuan nodded in response, turned around and took the tea from the girl's hand, personally picked it up and handed it to Qiu Chen. Qiu Chen took the teacup, pulled Yixuan to sit down, and said with a smile: "Say you don't have to be polite to me!" ”

Qiu Chen looked at Yi Xuan's complexion as red and white, and his spirit was not bad, so he nodded secretly and said with a smile: "Even if it's okay, you can't be careless, it's better to be careful!" ”

Yi Xuan said with a smile: "It's been stable for a long time, don't be so careful!" ”

Qiu Chen put his hand on the smoker cage and stopped it with a smile: "What are you doing with me so politely, just crooked!" ”

Yi Xuan leaned on this big pillow and took a nap on the couch, when she heard the movement, she opened her eyes, and saw that it was Qiu Chen who hurriedly got up to greet her.

Explain the dishes clearly to Xiaoxi, and watching the girls and mothers-in-law who help the kitchen follow Xiaoxi busy, Qiu Chen also left the kitchen operation room and turned back to the living room of Wisteria Xuan.

Qiu Chen took the time to call the grandmother beside Aman to tell her to keep an eye on it, when there is a foreign man, it is still necessary to restrain Aman's temperament.

Qiu Chen basically didn't do anything about the dishes in the back, and directly reported the dishes to Xiaoxi, and slightly told some details and precautions. Aman dragged Mingwei to the Magnolia Pavilion, and also let people dig an ice hole under the window, and people sat in the window and fished by the railing, not expecting to catch fish, but just to play.

Jun Yan Junzhang took a few small guys to catch three or four catties of green shrimp on the edge of the lake with a beard cage, which was not small, Qiu Chen asked people to make a dry fried green shrimp, and then peeled a plate of shrimp, and used the best tea to match it to make a Longjing shrimp.

The ice fisher also accidentally caught three days of mandarin fish, all of which were three or four catties, Qiu Chen didn't bother, and directly said to Xiaoxi to make squirrel mandarin fish and send it up.

With Aman Mingwei and the girls and the girls finished these dishes with a smile, the ice fishing in the lake also had a harvest, more than ten catties of bighead carp several, the fish head chopped down have seven or eight catties, stewed fish head, steamed fish head, chopped pepper fish head are excellent, this season's fishy smell is the least, the most fragrant and tender. As for the bighead carp tail can be used as fish fillets and fish balls, Qiu Chen directly asked people to send them to the big kitchen, which had to be carefully picked, and then placed on the pigskin and slowly beaten with a special hammer to make the fish minced.

Stewed pork belly with dried beans, stir-fried bacon with dried bracken, stewed bacon with dried radish, stewed hazel chicken with yellow mushrooms...... The specialties are these four, the eggplant is steamed with dry oil and squeak, and the three fresh buns are wrapped with leeks and shrimp and eggs from the back garden, which are considered two main dishes.

Most of these things were brought by hundreds of neighbors in Liujiaao. Although Aman was only six years old when he left Liujiaao, he also remembered because of his early wisdom, and he had a deep attachment and nostalgia for the elders and friends of Liujiaao, even the old cattle and big dogs in the village, and even the mountains, rivers, grass and trees on the mountains in the village. Compared with Qiu Chen, a halfway visitor, Liu Jiaao is the real birthplace and hometown of Aman's little girl. For these ingredients and things sent by Liu Jiaao, Aman's little girl was naturally overjoyed, and followed Qiu Chen's side without rejection at all, and started to fight a little clumsily.

It didn't take long for the big kitchen to process the ingredients and send them over. The dried eggplant was soaked and cleaned, the pork belly, the ribs, and the diced meat that had been cut into the filling, and the oil was also chopped...... Even the bacon, bacon, fish and sausage have been processed and cleaned, and they only need to be cooked according to the recipe.

Mingwei covered her mouth to eat and laugh, and the mountain came to take Aman's hand and took her to the clean room to wash and change clothes. Aman practices all year round, one more swimming in summer, and multiple ice scenes in winter, and the girls and mothers-in-law bring happy clothes and utensils anytime and anywhere, which is naturally cheap at this time, so they hurriedly salute Qiu Chen and Yi Xuan, and then go into the clean room to serve.

If Qiu Chen is like this, the little girl will have to play foolish and coquettish, but if she is replaced by Yi Xuan, the little girl will be a little unable to break her face, and Yi Xuan is pregnant at this time, the little girl does not dare to move, for fear that if she bumps or collides with Yi Xuan, she will have nothing to say except obediently obey her orders.

As soon as the little girl appeared, without waiting for Qiu Chen to speak, Yixuan stepped forward and continued, wiping Aman's sweat with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "On this cold day, I still follow those silly boys to play on the ice, look at this body of sweat, if you don't pay attention to the wind and cold, it's terrible, what about the mother-in-law and girl who follows?" Do you have any Huanxi clothes, there is hot water in the house, why don't you take your young lady in to wash and change into dry clothes! ”

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the girl who took the order to go down to bring Aman back. The little girl's face was flushed, and on a cold day, there was a layer of fine beads of sweat on the tip of her forehead and nose.

There is a separate kitchen, and the utensils and seasonings are complete, and Qiu Chen wanted to restrain Man'er, so he set the place to make zuò special dishes and eat them here. and sent someone to call Aman's girl, and restrained her to cook and cook together. According to Qiu Chen's observation, although Aman is not interested in female celebrity cooking, if she personally takes her with her and laughs and cooks, it is not too repulsive.

Qiu Chen said goodbye to the two princes and came out of Linbo Xuan, turned all the way back to the front yard, took out the list of gifts brought by Yang Shumeng, pointed them out one by one, and asked people to go to the warehouse to take out the things and send them to the big kitchen. Dried vegetables should be soaked, bacon, bacon, fish and sausage should be burned in advance, and then soaked in rice water for a while before it is delicious...... Taking advantage of the time to process the ingredients, Qiu Chen also returned to the back garden, and went directly to the Wisteria Pavilion where Yixuan's mother and son lived.

Yang Jingyong pondered for a while, and also felt that what Qiu Chen said was reasonable, so he responded with a smile.

The plan has been decided, and Qiu Chen smiled and said: "Most of the ingredients in this season are dry goods, and I can't see anything, it's better to make dishes later, eat more of what you like, if you don't dislike it, bring some back." ”

After thinking about it, Qiu Chen was relieved. It's enough for her and the children to like it, the two princes like to eat more, and if they don't like to eat, they can't help it, in other words, if they don't like it, they will save a lot of trouble in the future, and they will have to worry about it every day.

What do you do with eggplant soaking all at once, stir-fry and stew with pork belly; Add diced meat and oil squeak buns, the dry vegetables are strong, the taste is mellow, and the rich meat and oil aroma are another taste that is completely different from fresh vegetables. As for the sausage, bacon and bacon, because it is baked and smoked by fruit tree branches, there is a faint fruity aroma in the thick meat aroma, and it is excellent for stir-frying vegetables and making cured meat...... However, the two princes are used to chicken, duck and fish all day long, and they probably don't like this kind of greasy meal.

The feeling in her heart was inexplicable, and she couldn't tell whether it was regret or nostalgia, and she couldn't help but sigh and remember at this time, but she just pressed down all kinds of feelings for the time being, and turned to think about it happily: it happened that Lan Ying and the second brother of the Qingshan family brought a lot of dried vegetables, dried eggplant, dried radish or something, as well as bacon and fish sausage smoked with fruit tree branches; In addition, there are chili sauce, chopped peppers, tomato sauce, and wild jam produced in the Zhuangzi of Qingshui Town...... Tongzhou Zhuangzi also planted a lot of peppers, tomatoes, after Qiu Chen managed, every year also let people make a lot of chili sauce, chopped chili peppers, tomato sauce or something, obviously the same chili peppers, the seeds are still brought by Anyang, the method of making zuò ingredients are exactly the same, the chili sauce and chopped chili peppers that come out of zuò, the taste is slightly different from Anyang's. Qiu Chen was puzzled, and in the end he could only attribute it to the difference in water and soil.

When he first came to this world, for a while, Qiu Chen thought that he was going to live such a peaceful and peaceful life in his life. No one could have imagined that she would later walk out of that beautiful and quiet mountain village, and even unexpectedly marry into the capital, and become the hostess of the Jingbei Hou Mansion given by the emperor.

Listening to him talk about Liu Jiaao's specialty delicacies in the same way, Qiu Chen couldn't help but evoke infinite nostalgia. However, she is not thinking about the delicacies of the mountains, she is thinking about the country rice she ate when she was in Liujiaao, as well as the villagers in the village, Manchu Lanying, Qingshan's family, Erkui's family, the third grandmother and her children and grandchildren...... remembered that the villagers helped her to spend the summer and pickle pickles...... Men and women, young and old, are affectionate, talking and laughing, with peace of mind, peace of mind, full of food and warmth, pondering the days of the coming year, and looking forward to the vision of the future of their children......

Hearing Qiu Chen say this at this time, Yang Jingyong was naturally overjoyed, stroked his palms and smiled: "Guessing that Second Brother Yang will enter Beijing, he must bring some good things." Sister, what good things did the second brother bring, can you bring my brother to see it too. Speaking of which, the little yellow mushrooms on Yunlian Mountain are really delicious, hunt a few pheasants and stew them, and the fragrance is overflowing...... There is also the little white-scaled fish in the mountain stream, only the size of a little thumb, oil, salt and green onion don't need anything, just stew the fish in the stream water, add a little salt and flowers, stew for an hour, the thorns of the small fish are gone, soft and doughy, the same as gnocchi, fresh and delicious, and the fish soup is even more delicious and indescribable......"

However, whether it is the days of the border pass or the life of Liu Jiaao, there is no way to compare with the palace in terms of food and clothing, but there is also a relaxed and comfortable warmth that cannot be compared in the palace, there is not so much intrigue, the heart is simple and gentle, although the food is not so exquisite, coarse tea and light rice, but there is no one like the village life Zhuanghu people are as simple and original, which makes people like it unconsciously. Today, Yang Jingyong is no longer the helpless little prince at the beginning, he is a prince, he is greatly favored, and his life is naturally truly graceful, luxurious and rich, but every time he wears fine clothes and jade food, among the golden and jade grains, he will always miss the most primitive, simple, and true taste of the border pass and the countryside.

Yang Jingfang has no concept of farm food, after all, she has never lived in the countryside since she was a child, even if she goes to the Huangzhuangzi, the food and clothing utensils served by her are no worse than those in the palace. Yang Jingyong is different, he lost his mother when he was very young, and he lived in the palace with patience, slightly older, in order to protect himself, he simply went to the border to join the army incognito, and stayed in the army for several years, and truly experienced the hunger of civil life. Later, Qin Zheng healed twice in Liujiaao, and Yang Jingyong also lived with him for a period of time, and had a personal experience of the life of the farmer.

Agreed to Yang Jingyong, and immediately called the girl to order him in person, Qiu Chen was in a better mood, and smiled with Yang Jingyong: "The two princes arrived today, the second brother just arrived yesterday, and brought a lot of Anyang specialties, I will go and wipe and get two farm dishes for the two princes to taste." ”

Speaking of ice fishing, Qiu Chen is also the most supportive. Not to mention anything else, as long as the ice is chiseled and fished, the children will naturally not care about the ice play for the time being. Qiu Chen took the opportunity to detain the little girl Aman back, and persuaded her to go with Mingwei to find a more secluded place where she could see the bustle, and dig an ice hole to fish. The lake in the back garden of Jingbei Hou is large, and you can even find a secluded place to dig a few more ice caves, so that the two little girls can play with the girl's mother-in-law, which is also lively and enjoyable, and you don't have to worry about criticism, that is the best of both worlds!

Of course, it is not possible to change to the lake in his palace, not to mention the small lake in the palace, the lake is stocked with koi and goldfish, and the number is also limited. Unlike the big lake in the Jingbei Hou Mansion, the water is living water with good water quality, the lake is stocked with a number of bighead carp, carp, white fish, even the mandarin fish produced in the south is also a lot, there are crabs in the dense aquatic plants at the bottom of the lake, every year when the autumn wind rises when the chrysanthemum is yellow, you can catch it a few times, the paste is full of yellow fat, the fragrance is overflowing, and it is very delicious!

"Hey, ice fishing is the most fun, and we're all going to be lively!" Although Yang Jingyong has lived in Liujiaao a few times, he has to rush back to Beijing for the New Year because he has entered Layue, and he has not caught up with the ice fishing several times. Or last winter through the Jingbei Hou Mansion, Qin Zheng took the children and guards to chisel ice for him to catch a fish, it was very interesting and the most lively, in the cold winter, standing on the ice was stunned and didn't feel cold at all, looking at the fish only left with a hot heart.

Qiu Chen blinked his eyes, "It's not impossible to eat fish, you have to wait for a while, there are not many fish in the kitchen, you have to dig ice to catch fish!" ”

Yang Jingyong also hurriedly echoed, saying: "I haven't eaten the fish made by my sister for a long time, I wonder if I can make Dao fish to satisfy my brother's hunger today?" ”

This time, without waiting for Yang Jingyong to speak, Yang Jingfang shook her head as soon as possible, and said with a smile: "Since the beginning of winter, I have eaten these almost every day, if I can, let's change to the side...... I remember eating the fish head made by the county lord once, it was fresh and smooth, and the aftertaste was endless! ”

Ignoring the two brothers' arguing, Qiu Chen only smiled and said, "There are fresh venison and roe deer meat, which are suitable for shabu-shabu, how about eating pot and roast meat today?" ”

These two brothers are still princes, they come to the door to eat and drink, and they want to paddle and walk away, if they don't know, they think that the emperor doesn't care about his son, and he is hungry for these two brothers!

Hearing this, Yang Jingyong was relieved, Qiu Chen and Qin Zheng glanced at each other, but they both smiled helplessly and shook their heads.

Yang Jingfang didn't care, and said with a smile: "I just said that, and I didn't dare to take risks, I always felt that even if I wanted the cook back, I wouldn't be able to make the taste of Jingbei Houfu." ”

Yang Jingyong glanced at the fourth child, very disdainful: "Fourth brother, this door-to-door guest, it's just a matter of drawing some recipes and ingredients, you even want to draw the cook back, it's a bit too much!" ”

Yang Jingfang also echoed with a smile: "I'm the same, the same dishes I can't eat at home and never taste the taste of the Hou Mansion." Hehe, I just don't know, if the cook of the Hou Mansion wants to go back, can I make the taste here. ”

As he spoke, he shook his head and sighed with a distressed expression.

Yang Jingyong also looked troubled and puzzled, frowned and shook his head and said: "Sister, I can't figure it out, I don't know why, the recipes and materials I took back from you, my chef just can't make the right taste." ”

Holding back his worries, Qiu Chen turned his head and said with a smile: "I have covered up any food here, and you have taken away a lot of the recipes and ingredients you want. ”

"Sister, since you are pregnant, I haven't eaten the food you cooked for a year, but I've been thinking about it......" Yang Jingyong said with a smile, except for An Rong in the room, Yang Jingfang's personal eunuch, Yang Jingyong also let go, smiling and calling his sister, hippie and smiling, completely without the posture of the prince.

In front of Yang Jingyong and Yang Jingfang, Qiu Chen was worried that he couldn't rush up and pull Aman back.
