Chapter 23 Lotus Cake
She took a deep breath, and in a moment's hurry, she almost showed her stuffing.
"Master, the previous ginseng is a long time ago, and this one in your hand is not of the same grade at all, so there is a lot of difference between this F value, does the master want to change it?"
"Don't change it, don't fight its idea, I'll keep it useful." Zhou Xinzhi rolled her eyes and prepared to go down the mountain with Du Lisheng.
After explaining, he went down the mountain with Du Lisheng and prepared to go home.
When he went down the mountain, it was already unitary time, and Du Lisheng couldn't help but feel surprised, the dark clouds that had been made up for had indeed dissipated, and it really didn't rain.
"The lady is really clever, but it was cloudy for a while in the morning, and it was sunny in the afternoon."
"I'm not a genius, I'm just observing." Zhou Xinzhi looked up and smiled, and then turned her head to see Wei Qingsui who was carrying a medicine box and preparing to go home, and the two nodded as a greeting, but Wei Qingsui was used to being cold, and there was no response.
Zhou Xinzhi didn't mind, when she thought of eating pastries at night, she couldn't be in a hurry, and she pulled Du Lisheng forward a lot faster.
Back home, Zhou Xinzhi went back to the bedroom to rest as usual, this body has been walking for a long time, it is easy to be unbearable, and she has to rest for a while.
Du Lisheng looked at the little lady who was resting with her eyes closed, and she was also worried in the bottom of her heart, Xinzhi wanted to eat pastries, but what pastries should she make?
He thought for a moment, it coincided with the lotus blooming season, so it was better to make a lotus cake.
Du Lisheng took out a small basin and began to prepare noodles, even if the pair of delicate and slender hands were stained with flour, they also had a sense of nobility, as if these hands should not do this, they should do something more expensive.
But he happily kneaded these doughs, and wondered if Xinzhi would like these lotus cakes.
"I want a drawing of a well." Zhou Xinzhi opened her mouth and said to the system in her body.
"Ding, master, you consume 5F value to buy a well drawing."
Zhou Xinzhi looked at the drawings that appeared out of thin air in her hand, hooked the corners of her lips, with this drawing, as long as you spend time digging wells, this matter is in no hurry.
She put away the drawings in her hand, and now she can't take them out and use them, and she still has to copy a copy by hand when she gets it, which is normal.
As soon as he thought about it, he remembered Du Lisheng's voice outside the bedroom, "Xinzhi, it's time to eat." ”
Zhou Xinzhi answered, and also walked into the courtyard.
Looking at the food on the stone table, I like it very much in my heart.
A small plate of lotus crisp, as well as a small piece of pea yellow, plus the side dishes mixed with wild vegetables dug today, and the rabbit meat left over from before, it is really hearty.
"You made this lotus cake yourself?" Zhou Xinzhi picked up a piece and put it in her mouth.
It's not big, it's not too small, the size is just enough for her to eat, and as soon as she enters it, the crispy sound sounded in her mouth, and the faint sweetness spread, which is really surprising.
"Do you like it?" Du Lisheng couldn't help but be a little nervous, for fear that Xin Zhi would not like it.
"Yes, yes, I didn't expect you to be able to cook not only food, but also desserts." Zhou Xinzhi gave a thumbs up, and there was a smile in her eyebrows and eyes.
"If you like it, I'll make it for you next time you want to eat it."
Seeing that she was eating happily, Du Lisheng felt a lot more relieved in his heart, his family was poor, and there was only so much that he could give Xinzhi.
He turned to look at the hares and pheasants piled up in the storehouse, as well as the herbs that had been dug up in the past few days, "I have to go into the city tomorrow, what do you need?" ”
Previously, because Aunt Wang's orchard was delayed, he had to quickly redeem the prey and herbs he had hit, and he had to fill in one or two new clothes for Xinzhi.
"If it's convenient, just help me buy some radishes and cucumbers and come back, as for clothes or anything, you don't have to prepare, not to mention the waste of money, I can't use it."
Zhou Xinzhi remembered that he had said that he would buy two clothes for herself, but this time all the money was used to buy her an orchard, and she definitely couldn't let him spend money on any clothes.
"It's okay, you don't bring much dress to change into, buy you one or two to wear."
After eating, Du Lisheng cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and the corner of the sachet leaked out of his arms, and he suddenly remembered.
"Xin Zhi, I bought you the sachet you saw on the street the day before yesterday, this fragrance is good, I saw that you liked it, so I bought it." He was a little nervous, this was the first time he had sent something to a woman, and he didn't know if Xin Zhi would be happy.
The bag embroidered with fragrant flowers appeared in front of him, and Zhou Xinzhi was stunned for a moment.
She only looked at it a few more times at the time, and the man bought it for her, and it was false to say that she was not moved.
"Thank you, me, I love it." She took the sachet, closed her hands, and put it between her nose to smell the aroma, which was really comforting.
Du Lisheng smiled, blushed and went to clean up the outer room.
Zhou Xinzhi hung the sachet in front of the bed of the two, and took out the previous drawings when she had nothing to do.
"It's really complicated to dig this well." She looked left and right, all the while looking at the paper in her hand.
When I came to the window, there was a simple brush and paper on the table, although the paper was not as good as the quality of rice paper, but it was still no problem to draw a drawing.
When it comes to the pen, Zhou Xinzhi is a little uncomfortable for a while, she only learned a brush for a while when she was in junior high school, it is not very good-looking, but at least she can still read it.
Grinding the pen, the tip of the pen flowed away like a cloud on the paper, very smooth, the time of the half-pillar incense passed, and the drawings of the well were also reproduced in good condition, rubbing the somewhat sore wrist, Zhou Xinzhi breathed a sigh of relief.
"The lady also has a study of calligraphy?" Du Lisheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhou Xinzhi at the table.
There are all kinds of doubts in my heart, a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, not to mention the Zhou family, even Zhou Bilian was not sent to the study hall by the Zhou family, so Xin Zhi is even more impossible, from the fact that she just grinded, took the pen, and put down the pen and put the pen away, she was extremely skillful.
"Doesn't the husband also know some? Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to find these things. Zhou Xinzhi smiled faintly.
There is no escaping this question at all, everyone has secrets, but even if it is harmless, no one has so much time to ask everything clearly.
Du Lisheng didn't reply, just smiled faintly, it seems that the true face of the little lady still has to be explored slowly, as for him, he himself doesn't know if it's a secret.
I had a good night's sleep, and I don't know if it's the effect of the sachet, or if I'm too tired during the day, and it's almost noon when Zhou Xinzhi wakes up.
She looked helplessly at the scorching sun outside, and then stepped back into the room, only to be attracted by the paper on the desk.
"Lady, go to the city for your husband, put yesterday's pastries in the stove room, eat some first, and get home after noon for your husband."
Zhou Xinzhi couldn't help but feel funny, this ancient person also knew how to leave notes.
"Little Tongzi." She came to the stove room and pinched a piece of pea yellow and put it in her mouth, and the sweet and soft taste made her bend her eyebrows.
"What does the master want to exchange?"
"Prepare five bags of fine salt first, as well as some aged vinegar and soy sauce."
At first glance, these things are nothing, in modern families, these are basically necessary for the home, but in ancient times, it was difficult to find money.
Therefore, she was really surprised in her heart, there are not so many seasonings in this era, how did Du Lisheng make so many delicious dishes?
"Ding, a total of 12F value is consumed, does the owner need anything else?"
"Not for the time being, I'll look for you later." After speaking, Zhou Xinzhi clapped her hands and went back to the bedroom, took out the mountain ginseng dug up yesterday, wrapped it in a coarse cloth, and then went out of the house.
Mai Bu left the courtyard directly, but it was rare that Li didn't come out to trouble her today, and she was happy and clean.
Following the memory of the original owner, he walked forward along the previous road up the mountain, and he stumbled along the way and found Wei Qingsui's residence.
Before stepping into the hospital, Zhou Xinzhi was attracted by the scenery in the hospital.
The plants should be medicinal herbs, the aroma of herbs wafts in the air from time to time, and the courtyard layout is minimalist, which is similar to Wei Qingsui's temperament, elegant and leisurely.
Zhou Xinzhi suddenly felt that it was difficult for the person living in this courtyard to be a reclusive master?
"Mr. Wei is here?" Zhou Xinzhi stood outside the door and called softly, after all, this is someone's private territory, and it is not easy to trespass.
Xu was disturbed by her voice, Wei Qing walked out of the room with a frown, and was stunned for a moment when he saw that it was Zhou Xinzhi.
"Is there something wrong with Mrs. Du? Why don't you go to the hospital and talk about it? He didn't expect Zhou Xinzhi to come to the courtyard alone to look for him.
Zhou Xinzhi didn't twist, and let the door open and stepped into the courtyard, first, it was not polite to speak outside the hospital, and second, the courtyard door was open and would not fall into the mouth.
"Ding, master, the system has detected Angelica dahurica and Astragalus membranaceus and Atractylodes macrocephalus, does the master want to exchange it?"
“…… Don't mess around. Zhou Xinzhi's face was full of black lines, she was kind enough to ask for advice today, but she didn't come with the system to copy the house.
"Mrs. Du has something to look for Wei today?"
As cold as before, Zhou Xinzhi was not surprised at all, if Wei Qing had good words, she would be surprised.
"That's the case, yesterday I went up the mountain with my husband, and unfortunately dug up a ginseng, before Mr. gave a little woman a plant, so this plant is a thank you gift to Mr., but this plant is not old enough, naturally not as good as Mr.'s one, but it is also my gratitude."
Zhou Xinzhi was generous and decent when she spoke, and she advanced and retreated moderately, without making people feel uncomfortable at all, which also made Wei Qingsui a little uncomfortable.
"Mrs. Du is polite, that mountain ginseng is just a little bit of Wei's heart, and there is nothing to say about thanks."
He didn't think there was anything, it was just a mountain ginseng, and he had come into contact with all the precious medicinal materials, so there was nothing to be sorry for.
"Mr. Wei is really a generous person, the little girl has offended a lot before, this one can be regarded as reparation, please don't shirk it."
When she said this, Wei Qing naturally knew what she was talking about, to be honest, he hadn't paid attention to it for a long time, but she said it like this, and she had to take advantage of the situation to go down the steps.
