Chapter 256, Creating a Peach Blossom Garden (I)
Xiao Nan looked at the group of figures that had gone away, and couldn't help but feel a trace of inexplicable sadness in her heart, the two-day send-off made her feel deeply, and she unconsciously remembered Lin Xiucai and his wife, who had gradually aged over the years, as well as Song Qiufei and others, Lin Xiucai and Song Qiufei were over seventy years old, and they didn't know how much time they still had......
That's it, gathering and dispersing impermanence, this is the life process that everyone must go through, and I am just an ordinary member of the crowd, how can I avoid such a thing, the mind fell here, Xiao Nan shook her head a little self-deprecatingly, shook off these sad thoughts, turned around and went home, she lived in Xiao's house for nearly twenty days, and did not return to Jiangjia Village until mid-December.

In these days of the Xiao family, Xiao Nan except for occasionally taking the colorful into the mountains to hunt, most of the rest of the time is to get together with Que Yin, Lin and Mrs. Qiao to study all kinds of food, Xiao Nan is essentially a big foodie, in order to want to live a good life for himself and his family, in his last life, he soaked in archaeology all his life, in addition to focusing on academics, he also had to deal with various relationships in Vanity Fair, and he couldn't spare a few days of free time all year round, and the days when he could look for food everywhere were really numbered, which made her often depressed in her gluttonous nature.
She has not been an ambitious person, the ideal of the two lives combined is to be a carefree idler, there are three or two friends with appetite, there are relatives who will not abandon and do not calculate interests, it is enough to get her wish, this wish she has not been able to realize in her last life to death, in this life God finally did not favor her, as soon as she came to meet her loving mother and sensible brother, coupled with her own ability, just a few years down, this wish has basically been achieved.
She has 10,000 taels of silver in her hand, in addition, the annual income of the Hongyuan Chamber of Commerce is not less than 5,000 taels of silver, and at the same time, there are 2,000 acres of fertile land at home to rent to others, the income of these fertile fields is calculated by half a tael of silver every year, and there are also 1,000 taels of income a year, for an idler who only wants to live in the countryside all his life, even if she does nothing, these wealth are enough for herself and her future children to have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime.
The problem of financial freedom is solved, the family is harmonious and warm, the mother's filial piety, the husband's ability is not bad, and he is sincere to himself, such a comfortable and comfortable living environment, Xiao Nan wants to fully express the essence of her gluttony in her previous life, she moved out a lot of dishes she saw from the novel, and studied it with the Que Yin Lin clan and others.
Xiao Nan also came from a farmer's family in her last life, and cooking is no problem, but her talent in this area is very average, and she can make some ordinary home-cooked dishes, not to mention the level and those top chefs, even if it is worse than Lin and Que Yin, it is not a star and a half, but she can't stand her rich theoretical knowledge, about this mandarin duck five treasures, Xiao Nan according to the recipe in the book: the main material is 1 pair of male and female chicks just full moon, red carrots, white radish, lettuce, mushrooms, straw mushrooms, 50 grams of rice wine, and 200 grams of rock sugar.
Salt, sesame oil, green onion segments, ginger slices, clear soup each, the male and female young pigeons with scissors to open the cavity to take out the internal organs and wash, retain the blood, the pigeon, codonopsis, attached slices, a small amount of sugar into the basin, add an appropriate amount of clear soup, put the pot in the water and steam for 1 hour, the carrots, white radish, lettuce are cut into balls of the same size, the same mushroom, straw mushroom 5 kinds of balls are placed in the basin and add rice wine green onions, ginger slices, salt, and steamed with a strong fire until cooked; Drizzle with sesame oil.
The pigeon is Xiao Nan herself in the mountains, although she tries to find the youngsters, but there is no guarantee that it is just a full moon of young pigeons, but it is a trial, and you don't have to care whether the ingredients are 100% in line with the standard, after the pigeon hunting, Xiao Nan mouthed, Que Yin and Lin started, and finally when the dish was steamed and served, the effect was obviously better than she expected, and before moving the chopsticks, the color and fragrance attracted everyone's saliva flow, and when the chopsticks were really moved, they didn't say anything else, but said that Xiao Nan himself, almost swallowed his tongue... …
After the successful test of this mandarin duck Wang Zhenxuan, Xiao Nan's confidence was greatly bursting, she racked her brains, and according to her memory, she thought of a few snacks and dishes that had not been seen in this era, among them, due to the lack of ingredients, only two things were successful, as for the nourishing soup in winter, the food in this era has been very developed, the Lin family and Que Yin will know more than Xiao Nan, she can't put forward any good opinions, she lived in Xiao's house for about twenty days, seeing that the New Year is approaching, she will not return to Jiangjia Village, I'm afraid that the people in Jiangjia Village will gossip, no matter what, she is a daughter who has already married outside.
Under the repeated urging of the Lin family, Xiao Nan took Han Qi back to Jiangjia Village, and after returning home, Xiao Nan told Aunt Mo about the production methods of several dishes that had been successfully tested in the Xiao family, Aunt Mo's cooking level was not below the Lin family at all, with her, Xiao Nan did not worry about wronging her own five visceral temple, when she returned to Jiang's house, Jing Xuan's dart probably hadn't handed over the order, and she didn't come back, she had nothing to do every day, and most of her time was spent teaching Han Qi.
When Xiao Nan got married, Song Nuo didn't come to congratulate him because of serious symptoms during pregnancy, but only asked someone to bring a message over, Han Qi will let him go to school at home in the spring next year, during this period, let him live here first, since Xiao Nan accepted this child as a disciple, he naturally has no opinion on this, and he teaches carefully every day, and the days slip by little in this leisurely time.
On the twenty-fifth of the lunar month, Jing Xuan finally returned, and when he arrived home, Xiao Nan asked him to send out the prepared New Year gifts one by one, and Zixiu only went out in late November, at this time the person was still in Hubei, and only wrote a letter back, saying that he would not come back for the New Year, for this reason, Xiao Nan and Jing Xuan spent Chinese New Year's Eve at home, and went to Xiao's house after the New Year's Festival on the first day of the new year.
After staying in the Xiao family for two days, he came back, now that the two of them are married, there will be guests at home, and they can't live in the Xiao family all the time, after fifteen, Jiang Jingxuan went to the dart bureau again, and when he returned to the dart bureau, he brought Han Qi over, Xiao Nan asked him to send the child to Luoyang, and after the Lantern Festival, he was going to school.
After Jiang Jingxuan left, Xiao Nan began to ponder the 1,000 acres of wasteland after preparing to open a wasteland house, Xiao Nan's financial freedom has been realized, for this reason, the land in her hands now, she no longer focuses on making money, but wants to plan according to her own preferences and fun, the land under Baiyun Mountain is somewhat suitable for planting tea, but Xiao Nan does not want to plant tea anymore because her mother's family has 300 acres of tea garden.
First, the water source of the land in Jiangjia Village is not as convenient as that in Sangyu Village, and the soil quality is not as suitable as that one, and secondly, Xiao Nan left her mother's tea garden to the Lin family and Zixiu, so she didn't want to meddle in this industry again, she didn't want to be a big tea merchant, and she was no longer short of money on hand, so she naturally didn't want to get involved in this industry again.
This thousand acres of wasteland, she is ready to split out 200 acres of cherries, 200 acres of kiwifruit, 100 acres of peach trees, and the rest of the planting of various flowers and trees.
The swing in her courtyard has been installed, the location of the swing is just facing the barren mountain, and after the barren mountain is developed, sitting in the rocking chair or on the swing under the grape trellis, as soon as she looks up, she can see the endless peach orchard flowers and fruits outside the courtyard wall.
