A few people returned from the orchard and had a good harvest. Red Ripple and Green Ripple each carried a small basket made of bamboo strips, which was full of it. There are large purple grapes, emerald green fragrant pears, orange oranges, and a few large, round pomegranates.

Ye Zhenzhen was holding one in her hand, peeling out the sweet seeds that were as bright as diamonds and stuffing them into her mouth as she walked, and smiled and bent her eyes.

Especially when I saw Xiao Ze dressed in white, obviously looking like a peerless son, but now he was holding two round and big watermelons, and walking back in a hurry with a cold face, it was really indescribable joy.

I almost burst out laughing.

When they just walked back, they found the watermelon field, the watermelons all over the ground were round and big, and they looked delicious, and the old man who guarded the garden picked two for them, saying that they were guaranteed to be sandy and sweet. But the two bamboo baskets couldn't fit anymore, and Hongli couldn't take two of them alone, and Ye Zhenzhen refused to wait for someone to send them, so Xiao Ze had to lift his robe and pick up two big watermelons!

The picture was so joyful that she burst into laughter at the time. was glanced at by Xiao Ze, and he was so frightened that he shut down.

Secretly and silently happy.

When the few people returned to Zhuangzi, Xu also happened to take a lunch break and sat in the courtyard to enjoy the coolness. Although autumn is coming, the heat is getting heavier and heavier - the commonly known autumn tiger is powerful.

Xu Shi saw that Ye Zhenzhen's face was only a little red, and she was not sweating profusely, so she was relieved. While wiping her face, she was a little unhappy and chattered,

"Why have you been there for so long, this big sun, I'm worried that you will be sunburned!"

Ye Zhenzhen closed her eyes, raised her small chin, and was very happy to be wiped by Xu's face, "Grandmother, how can I be so delicate, and ah, the garden is full of fruit trees, walking in the shade, it is very cool, I don't feel hot at all, by the way, we brought a lot of fruits back, let Hongyi and them give ice, and we will eat it again in a while!" Those fruits are so sweet!"

Seeing her shining eyes and an infinitely coveted expression, Xu couldn't help but twist the tip of her little nose again.

"In a moment, we're going to go to the basement to see what we have prepared for you, do you want to come with me?"

"Basement?! If you want, go check it out, I haven't been there yet. ”

…

The steward was a middle-aged man with a fair face and a little chubby, with a pair of smiling eyes, and he looked very generous.

A few people walked to a small dirt slope in the backyard of Zhuangzi and watched him grope for a large string of copper keys from his arms.

He first on a stone brick in front of the soil slope, lightly buckled a few times, suddenly, from the top of the soil slope actually stretched out an iron plate, he found a key and inserted it, twisted two times and protruded an iron plate, there is still a hole in it, he inserted a key, so a total of four keys into it, two on the top, two on the bottom, into a square. Two more servants came forward and pressed the two below, and the steward held the top two, and the three of them worked together to press in.

After a few clicks, accompanied by some dust falling from the hulala, the square position revealed a small, dark and slightly rusty door.

There was a string of black chains hanging on it, and a large lock was added.

When the steward opened the small door, he revealed a dark basement.

Ye Zhenzhen and the Xu family have already put on their jackets.

The cool air that came to the face was very turbulent and hit the people's cheeks. It's so hot outside that people can't help but shiver.

The white fat steward was about to light the torch, but Xiao Ze took out two fist-sized night pearls from his arms and held them for him.

The steward was stunned for a moment, and only then did he take it with a smile when he received Xu's gaze. Several people walked in with their bodies low.

Xiao Ze also touched the chain by the way. It's actually a thousand-year-old black iron!

With the night pearl shining, several people walked forward step by step along the steps of the bluestone.

The corridor is about five or six feet wide, and can accommodate two or three people in parallel. Although it is underground, it is not damp and very dry.

After a few turns, you enter a large hall-like space. Inside are rows of black porcelain jars. Layer by layer, it became a wall of jars on three sides.

Ye Zhenzhen couldn't help but marvel.

"This is the cellar, and on the left are fifteen years old, fifty jars. The ones on the right and on the side are less than five years old. ”

The fat steward squinted his eyes and explained to them.

Xu nodded, "When spring begins, take them all out and send them back to the house." Jin'er needs to take away thirty-six jars, and the rest is used for the previous day's banquet. ”

The fat manager narrowed his eyes and nodded.

I couldn't help but think that the old lady was doting on this eldest lady, and even the wine banquet the day before yesterday had to use such good wine.

Further on, there is a hall that is a little smaller than the previous sake cellar.

There are rows of shelves filled with small round jars of blue and white porcelain.

"Old lady, these are all dishes and fruits and vegetables that have been newly pickled for several years. There are 13 pieces of green plums, 13 pieces of plums and peaches, 18 pieces of fresh ginger, 18 pieces of cowpeas, 23 pieces of bamboo shoots, and 23 pieces of radish and cucumber, a total of 108 pieces!"

He pointed to the small jars as he counted them as if he were picking up beans.

Xu is very satisfied.

Ye Zhenzhen was a little surprised. Do you have to take all these cans with you?! Well, that's an exaggeration. She knew that her grandmother felt sorry for her, so she should go back and persuade her.

The group went into a hut again, where there were only two shelves, and small boxes were placed on it.

A few people couldn't help but look at the white and smiling steward.

"This is the medicinal herb storehouse. A total of 309 kinds of commonly eaten wolfberry lotus seeds are included, totaling 523 catties. ”

Xiao Ze was already very surprised, and his next words shocked him even more.

"In addition, there are twelve Yansi Jindan, eight Yushu Dan, and five Qingxin Pills that contain the old lady."

Yu Shudan!? Yu Shudan?! Is that the Jade Shudan?!

Xu Shi seemed to know his doubts, just nodded at him, and told him with his eyes, don't ask at this time, and talk about it later.

A few of them went to a smaller room in front of them, where there were stacks of objects wrapped in oiled paper. Listening to the steward continue to chatter, there are air-dried daylilies, all kinds of mushrooms, dried beans, and hoarfrost winter melon strips......

Ye Zhenzhen really wanted to support her forehead.

There's too much of that, right?! Is my grandmother afraid that there will be nothing to eat in Beicheng, or is she not used to eating?! Those people in the North City don't think she's a complete foodie?!

Ye Zhenzhen was embarrassed.

It was cold in the basement, and Zhen Zhen felt shivering all over her body, and she sneezed twice.

As soon as Xu touched her little hand, it was also cold, so she hurriedly said that she didn't need to look at the rest, just take it away, and dragged Ye Zhenzhen out.

Ye Zhenzhen...

How much more is that?!
