Chapter 103: The melon is ripe
In the bright **, Osmanthus Village is also picturesque, beautiful and amazing. The green hills are full of greenery, and the fields are also green, looking at the verdant color, it seems that the hot day is not so hot.
Along the way, Li Xin would open the curtain and look outside, at this time, the wheat in the field was very green, and it was really gratifying to look at. In this world, crops are not abundant, after many years of planting experience of the people, they have formed a two-cropping planting model a year, one season of wheat and one season of rice. Occasionally, some families will grow peanuts and other cash crops, but that is a rare occurrence.
At this time, almost all the fields you can see are green wheat.
When you arrive at Osmanthus Village, you can see that the land that belongs to the name of Osmanthus Village is also full of wheat and verdant. A gust of wind came, and the green waves were surprisingly beautiful. After the beginning of spring, the weather is good, and this year's harvest should be very good!
When he returned to his house, he looked at the outside of his home, and Li Xin went to his own field.
In order to facilitate unified management, the eight acres of fields at home are planted with watermelons. When I arrived at my own melon field, I saw a lot of watermelon vines full of emerald watermelons, including large watermelons that had grown for a few days and small watermelons that had just grown. Green vines, green melon skins, and small white flowers grow in one place, and they are a beautiful scene.
When Li Xin returned to Osmanthus Village from the capital, the watermelon had already been planted, and after that, Wang Fu and his wife would let people come over to take a look every two days, and when the watermelon seedlings gradually grew up, the people who took care of the melon field came to pick up more frequently. Later, after Li Xin came back, he asked the two people who took care of the melon field to live directly in the house in Osmanthus Village to take care of the melon field.
Both of them are very dedicated, and the melon field is also well managed.
"This melon is really growing very well." Li Xin walked on the ridge and occasionally checked the watermelon.
"I have planted a lot of other melons, but this cold melon, I have never seen or eaten it, at most I have heard of it. The melon has grown, and it is big, but I don't know if it's good. The servant who was working in the fields saw Li Xin coming, so he hurriedly came over and waited by his side.
"That's very good, I learned from the experience, and it will get better and better in the future." Li Xin said and went to inspect the watermelons in the field, and there were really some ripe ones. She picked some of the ripe ones, and taught the two people who managed the watermelons how to see if the watermelons were ripe.
After picking two baskets of watermelons, Li Xin asked two servants to help and moved the watermelons back to the house. took a knife and cut a watermelon, the watermelon is really ripe, red and sweet, and it is very appetizing when you look at it. It is really a pleasure to be able to eat watermelon in this hot season.
Li Xin went on to cut a few more watermelons, all of which were well ripe and tasted very sweet, which seemed to be better than the ones that Shopkeeper Sun sent to his home last year. Li Xin distributed the cut watermelon to a few people in the house.
After eating the watermelon, Li Xin left the herbs alone in the house. Vanilla has been teaching Lian Zhou and Lian Zhi to cook these days, and Li Xin has not paid attention to how the mother and daughter of the Lian family have learned, nor has she asked. As for how to teach vanilla and how to learn the mother and daughter of the Lian family, that is the creation of the mother and daughter of the Lian family.
But since he came to this house, it's not good for Li Xin to ignore it all the time.
"Does the young lady want to ask the slave maid, how do the girls learn to cook?" Vanilla stayed, and seeing that Li Xin had not spoken, he asked in a somewhat nervous whisper.
"Now that you've guessed it, let's talk about it!"
"The learning is quite good, even the lady and the girl are very serious, even the lady is not in the boudoir when she can't cook, that is, the fire, washing vegetables, cutting vegetables have not been done, now, but I can't learn all the things. Even the girl doesn't know anything at all, she is very born of everything, and she learns very slowly. Vanilla replied cautiously.
"So, Mrs. Lian is able to cook a good meal now?" Actually, Li Xin also guessed that Mrs. Lian could cook. The head of the house of a rich and noble family has no need to prepare meals for the family. However, it is not a bad idea to be able to cook a few dishes for the family once in a while, and it can also bring family members closer.
Therefore, Lian Zhou should not have never learned to cook. However, the ladies and ladies of the rich and noble families cook differently from the people in the countryside. In the countryside, everyone in every family has a division of labor, and the amount of work is definitely not light, the person at home has to do almost all the housework at home, and cooking and cooking will naturally be completed. Including making a fire, cooking, washing, chopping, cooking, etc., so people who grew up in the countryside, no matter how delicious the food is, can at least make a good meal.
But the rich and noble families are different, there are so many slaves in the family, there is naturally no need to do everything yourself. It's just cooking, and it's fun to cook occasionally, it's just a meaning. Naturally, it is impossible for a table of meals to be completed by the ladies and ladies, almost, what is to be done is to cook, and all the other preparations should be done by slaves.
"Miss Hui, that's true."
"That's fine, you continue to teach, since Mrs. Lian can already cook by herself, then you should also put more energy into Lian Zhi! Let Lian Zhi study hard, at least, by the time you leave, she will be able to make a few edible dishes on her own. I don't expect them to do anything to help, at least, they don't have a bad life of their own. ”
"Miss, don't worry, the slave will teach her well."
"That's fine, I'm sure you'll teach it well." After speaking, Li Xin waved his hand to let the vanilla go down.
In the afternoon, Zhu Yong drove the carriage to the Li family's house in Guihua Village to pick up Li Xin. Li Xin asked Zhu Yong to put two baskets of watermelons in the carriage, and after saying goodbye to Lian Zhou, he took the horse album and went to the town. From Osmanthus Village to Sanshi Town, there is still a distance not far and not close, if you take a carriage, it is very fast, if you walk, you will still be very tired.
Since the family had a carriage, Li Xin's family almost traveled from Guihua Village to the town by carriage and rarely walked. Once you get used to it, you don't seem to want to go that far.
"There's nothing going on in Zhuangzi, right?" While the carriage was moving, Li Xin talked to Zhu Yong. Although she knew that there were so many people on Zhuangzi's side, nothing would happen. If there is really a big event, Wang Fu and his wife will definitely let people come over to tell her, but that is the first Zhuangzi she owns, and the relationship is still very deep, and she always wants to know the situation in Zhuangzi.
"The Zhuangzi is very good, but the cherry tomatoes are already ripe, the tomatoes have to wait a little, and the peppers are not yet fully ripe, but they are already edible. This time, I also brought back a basket of cherry tomatoes and some green chilies. It is also the meaning of Brother Wang's sister-in-law Wang, let the young ladies and sons taste it. Miss didn't go to Zhuangzi recently, and she also brought some production for Miss to take a look at it, and see if she wanted to notify Pinxiangge. ”
"Zhuangzi has produced again, which is good." Although it is not that there is no silver in his hand, Li Xin still hopes that there will be some output in Zhuangzi. After all, it took a lot of money to buy Zhuangzi, and you have to get back some of the capital as much as possible. She still thought that when she earned some more money, she would let people ask around, and if there was a suitable village or a large piece of fertile land to buy, she would add some property to her family.
Nowadays, Wenbo is still young, and there are not many places to use money at home, but as the children grow up, there will be more places to use money at home.
There are also two dowries of Yuexiang and Yueting, if the family has surplus money, it is time to prepare some. I heard that in this world, the dowry of girls is prepared by parents when the children are still very young, but they are afraid that when the time comes, they will have money in their hands and will have nowhere to buy such good things. If you see a good one, buy it, save it slowly, and when it's time to use it, you don't have to look for it in a hurry.
Although the two children are still very young now, it is still very early to talk about family affairs. However, there is nothing wrong with preparing early. She also hopes to give the two children something better, at least, don't be busy when the time comes, it's not good, it's not good.
Moreover, whether she belongs to this world or not, she lives here, and she is an outlier. She didn't know what her life would be like in the future, whether she would be here for the rest of her life, or if she would return to the world before, or if she would completely disappear from the world.
Since there is a vast and unclear road ahead, it is not a good thing to take precautions now.
can arrange all the things in Wenbo, then, even if she leaves one day, she should have no regrets!
