Chapter 298: Farmhouse
"Lang Jun! What kind of dish is this, looking at the green leaves, but with a strong choking smell? ”
Hua Rui held her long skirt at her waist and stood in the vegetable garden with Liu Jixing. Although www.biquge.info was a little surprised with a frown, it was difficult to hide the joy on his face. Ignoring the people next to him looking at him, he asked Liu Jixing with a few green vegetables.
Because Liu Jixing had just made a set of furniture for the Wang family, the intimacy suddenly rose again, and everyone had a happy and in-depth exchange again. Liu Jixing stopped at the point and did not continue to do anything for the Wang family. After all, this kind of thing can be done again and again, and it can't be repeated.
Wang Laohan is also an interesting person, but he has been excited to regard Liu Jixing as the most distinguished guest. However, because Ouyang Tong couldn't hold back his shouting, he saw that Brother Qing had already killed the duck, so he beckoned Liu Jixing to cook.
The two old men of the Wang family didn't know that Ouyang Tong wanted to taste this duck, so they only saw that this group of people was hungry. But to say that there is really nothing to eat at home, the reluctant hemp ducks have killed one, and it is really difficult to move anything else. However, this Granny Wang had some ideas, so she said that she would go up the mountain to pick some mushrooms and dig some bamboo shoots to come back to entertain guests.
Liu Jixing is embarrassed to do this, although Granny Wang is not much older than his actual age, but at this time, it seems that the family can be regarded as an old man, so he asked Shi Yan and the other one to accompany Granny Wang to the side of the mountain to have a look.
Here, Wang Laohan took out the small dried fish collected at home again, and saw that they were all nameless small fish, and there were almost no big fingers. However, it was dried and smelled of a strong natural fragrance. But in the stream in front of him, Wang Laohan usually got it from the net when he had free time, and he was usually willing to take it out and eat it.
Because seeing Liu Jixing make a set of tables and stools for himself, the joy in his heart is indescribable. Coupled with a large group of people, it seems that only Liu Jixing is the first to look forward, and Wang Laohan naturally sees some Taoism. Because after all, in this era, how can someone who can carry a knife when he goes out to walk be an ordinary person?
At that time, Wang Laohan had some scruples, but when he thought of his two old men and daughter-in-law, although he was a little beautiful, compared with the three female dependents who accompanied him, he didn't have to be a maid for others, so he gradually felt relieved. Coupled with Liu Jixing's official dialect and being friendly and natural, Wang Laohan liked it a little in his heart. At this time, seeing Liu Jixing doing it, the scruples in his heart were finally gone, and he naturally hoped to take out all the delicious food at home to entertain.
Liu Jixing was not hypocritical, because he saw that there was also a vegetable garden near Wang's house, so he asked the Chen family if he had any vegetables to pick.
The Chan family already has a two- or three-year-old child who has just learned to walk on his own. Because the man worked as a foreman in the mine, he rarely came back once in a few days, so he followed the old man's knees, and did not have a second child yet. The women and dependents in the countryside were not as evasive as in later generations, and the women at this time were far from being as rational as the Song Dynasty, and basically maintained the openness of the Tang Dynasty.
Although there is such a thing as receiving guests, there is no problem for women in the country. But after all, it is inconvenient to be a woman, but she may be from a side branch of a big family, but she can be regarded as having seen some of the world, and she speaks and acts decently.
Even in the face of so many strangers, she is basically coping with it. This naturally gave Liu Jixing an excellent impression. Because this reflects that these places, although remote and poor, the people are not uncivilized.
Although Chen saw many strangers, Liu Jixing's behavior had shocked her, this kind of unreasonable behavior, as well as everyone's politeness to Liu Jixing, she naturally understood that the young man in front of her was not simple.
Even though Liu Jixing was very easy-going and behaved like a common person, when it was her turn to face it, she naturally led it respectfully and went to her own vegetable garden with Liu Jixing.
At this time, Liu Jixing was accompanied by Hua Rui and Ran Xiuniang. The stamen is a kind of dependence to follow, but Ran Xiuniang is a little inexplicable to follow. When Liu Jixing introduced himself to Chen and said that he was his daughter, Ran Xiuniang did not refute, but had a faint flash of surprise in her eyes.
Naturally, Hua Rui didn't think about it so much, because she understood that everyone came all the way, and there were many things that were inconvenient. So Liu Jixing came forward alone and said, this is excellent and convenient.
She naturally didn't think of Liu Jixing's thoughts, even Ran Xiuniang herself, and she didn't expect Liu Jixing to have a deep meaning.
Of course, although Liu Jixing occasionally has thoughts, he will not deliberately do so. Facing the woman Ran Xiuniang, he has a feeling of being a beautiful girl in later generations, so he has a sense of affection for her from the beginning.
But if you want to say that it is to satisfy your desires, there is a beautiful woman with a stamen by your side. But for Ran Xiuniang's indescribable feeling, she has always wanted to find a feeling adjustment! After all, if he returned to Xingwangfu, there would be a group of women around him.
Besides, that Huan Huan didn't know what was wrong, looking at Ouyang Tong who had been following him, and he didn't know what the two of them were doing, but they kept talking to each other. There is a mysterious and mysterious look, which makes people a little suspicious. But Liu Jixing didn't bother to ask them, as long as Huan Huan didn't have an accident under his nose, it would be regarded as an explanation to the ghost mother at that time.
And people like Ouyang Tong have nothing to do with their own things that won't be sneaky. What you really want to do to others will be above board.
His sneaky demeanor makes people feel that their affairs can't be said to others, or, if they can't be said well, let everyone know.
When these people came to the vegetable garden, Liu Jixing naturally felt Chen's restraint keenly, so he smiled slightly and called Chen his sister, and told her with a smile not to be too polite. Saying that these people came to the Wang family is already a disturbance to this family, and if they still make this family feel uneasy, then they are too guilty.
Chen saw the sincerity of Liu Jixing's words, and asked Hua Rui and Ran Xiuniang to call him sister, which had already melted half of his heart, and pulled the two women to look cordial, and then went into the vegetable garden together to pick vegetables.
In fact, this is not a vegetable garden, but a few wastelands opened by their family, and then planted a lot of seasonal vegetables. This kind of idyllic life, which later generations of urbanites dreamed of, is a manifestation of bitterness in this era.
Because these lands belong to the emperor, and the common people want to farm, they need to pay taxes! Even if it is only reclaimed and known by the imperial court, it is a big deal!
Liu Jixing once thought of changing the law and improving these exorbitant taxes. But he still received some resistance, so Liu Jixing thought that he must slowly improve!
But Liu Jixing wants to say that he likes to eat, and he really doesn't have the habit of picking vegetables himself at this time. But because it is really too leisurely here, and I feel that the folk customs are simple, the natural mood has improved and relaxed a lot. At this time, when I entered the vegetable garden and saw natural greens everywhere, I couldn't help but feel excited.
"Looking at this leaf, it tastes a little choking, but it's actually a good green vegetable. If you can eat it, you will feel the fragrance in your mouth, and if you smell something strange, you will want to vomit when you see it. Some people call it coriander, which originated in the Siam region and even further overseas, and later some people in Lingnan went to sea to bring it back to the Central Plains. Some people call it coriander, because it looks so similar to celery, so it is easy to be misunderstood! ”
Liu Jixing came over, turned his head and saw Chen looking at him in surprise, and couldn't help whispering: "I don't know where my sister got the seeds?" ”
"This was originally Lang Jun in the copper mine, and he saw that the adult planted it, and every time he smelled this strange fragrance, he couldn't hold it back, and finally asked him to ask for some from the adult, and it is said that he brought it from the capital!" Chen was slightly shy, presumably for this matter of begging for vegetable seeds!
"It's really fate! When I liked spices, I asked my family to look for them everywhere, and I didn't want to get some! At first, my family couldn't stand it, but now most of them have fallen in love with it! Liu Jixing really called someone to search, but he didn't expect that there were many races in Xingwangfu, especially his brother-in-law Abbas. At this time, I was naturally surprised to see it planted in such a remote place!
Hearing Liu Jixing talk about his family for the first time, Hua Rui thought that he had never seen it before, and couldn't help but feel nervous, and actually stretched out his hand to hold Liu Jixing tightly.
Seeing Hua Rui's somewhat worried look, Liu Jixing suddenly understood, looked at her and smiled slightly, and said in a low voice: "The family is very good, and they eat according to my temperament, everyone doesn't care what they eat, you will get used to it!" ”
Hearing Liu Jixing say this, Hua Rui felt shy, but thinking of Liu Jixing's thoughtfulness, Hua Rui was even more comforted. happened to see Chen's picking a basket of vegetables, and couldn't help but smile and shake off Liu Jixing, saying that he would accompany Chen's to wash vegetables!
Liu Jixing laughed and returned to the yard with a handful of green onions.
I saw that the Marquis of the Yuan family had already set up a temporary earthen stove in the garden according to his orders, and took out the iron pot that Liu Jixing specially bought in Hengzhou City!
To say that this iron pot is really customized by Liu Jixing, he specially found a blacksmith and asked him to use pig iron to cast a foot and a half of iron pot according to his own requirements!
Liu Jixing immediately took the leftover trimmings that had just been made into tables and stools and brought them over to the earthen stove to light the fire. Looking at the hemp duck that Brother Qing brought over to clean up, Liu Jixing secretly praised this young man for being careful.
watched Liu Jixing's hand rise and fall, and a hemp duck that was not fat or thin instantly broke down into evenly sized pieces of meat. Regardless of whether Ouyang Tong deliberately slapped himself on the back, or really agreed with Liu Jixing's knife skills, he praised on the side: "Lang Jun is really like a divine help, you are the kitchen god in the world!" ”
Liu Jixing smiled and didn't tell the difference, he naturally had a deep understanding of Ouyang Tong, an old foodie. At this time, while getting out of the pot, he said: "No matter how you are, it is a blessing in your life to be able to eat a farmhouse made by yourself in this life!" It's hard for anyone to eat it in the future! ”
Ouyang Tong didn't hear the strange intention, but salivated and smiled: "The old man naturally cares, but I don't know what is the beauty of your farmhouse?" But Lang Jun, you stir-fry, it seems that you forgot to put oil! ”
