Chapter 36: The Lotus Lantern Festival (3)
In the pavilion, Gong Wanran and others were tasting wine and appreciating lotus, when a servant hurriedly came.
"Childe, Childe! I'm late. ”
"Why did you go!?" He Yu asked angrily.
The servant panted and said, "I...... I just ran back to get the sweet fruit......"
"Didn't I tell you to prepare the candles? What about candles?! He Yu reprimanded.
"Childe, the little one is wrong, I was still thinking about it when I went out, but I took the candle, but I forgot the sweet fruit, so I turned around halfway to get the sweet fruit, who knows, I took the sweet fruit and forgot the candle in the house, and then turned back ......"
"Alright, alright, I'm going to stupid you to death, now I've brought it all, right?"
"Bring, bringing." The servant took out a basket and took out some candles from his backpack.
He Yu lifted the cloth on the basket, scratched his head a little embarrassed and said: "This is a sweet fruit, it is my own dim sum, let's try it, hehe." ”
When everyone looked into the basket, they saw that there were more than 20 small golden dough stacked inside, which looked very cute.
"This is made by me with wheat flour, which is very delicious, much better than the corn and millet we usually eat, and I also added honey and plum meat to it, and roasted it all afternoon." He Yu said, and nodded the maid's head with his hand, "It's all to blame for this guy who is not angry, if you take it earlier, it will be hot and delicious." ”
"Childe...... Right now...... It's hot right now, too. The servant said aggrievedly.
"Begging for a beating!" He Yu raised his hand to slap the maid's head.
Gong Wanran smiled and said, "Okay, Heyu, don't blame him." ”
Hana reached out and picked up a sweet fruit, took half of it in one bite, and praised as she chewed, "Hmm...... Well...... It's delicious, I haven't eaten wheat in a long time. ”
He Yu was very happy when he heard such appreciation, and hurriedly beckoned everyone, "Let's try it, I actually like to make some snacks or something, as long as it's not reading, I think it's interesting." But my father thought that those things should be left to the subordinates, and he always said that I was not doing my job properly, and that I was a plaything. However, the more he won't let me do it, the more I have to do it secretly, hehe. ”
Everyone took out snacks to eat, and they all praised it.
"Hmm...... It's delicious...... Hana said, picking up another one and eating it, "It's good everywhere in Huaxia, but it's not delicious, and this wheat was brought by our Yue's people." ”
Gong Wanran asked, "Oh? Miss Hannah's people also grow wheat? ”
"Yes, we've been growing wheat for generations."
"Many years ago, I chatted with an elder of the Yue clan, and he said that it was their clan that brought wheat into China two hundred years ago, I wonder if the elder is the same as Miss Hanna's clan?"
"It shouldn't be, although we are all from the Yue clan, but the Yue clan is composed of multiple small clans, each clan is different, it should be regarded as a different branch, our branch is the hometown that only left more than ten years ago."
"Oh, I see. Wheat is indeed a very good grain, but the yield is not high, so it has not been valued by the princes and countries, and it is delicious and delicious, but ordinary people can't eat it. ”
Hana disagreed, "No, the wheat yield is not high because you don't know how to grow it, and you don't know where to plant it." Hmph, those nasty people in Xingyuetang forced me to ask me how to grow every day, I told them that Yue Guo was not suitable for growing wheat, but they didn't believe me, and then they put me under house arrest, so I didn't want to say anything. ”
Ji Zheng suddenly realized: "Oh, it turns out that the secret that Xingyue Hall wants to get from Miss Hana is not only iron smelting, but also wheat cultivation. Xingyue Hall has bad intentions, Miss Hana is right not to tell them, it may be unfavorable to Miss if she really says it, but I don't know if the people left behind will reveal their secrets to Xingyue Hall after Miss leaves? ”
"They can't say what they want to say, these technologies are the foundation of our Yue clan's survival, and they are also important secrets within our clan, no one knows the complete information except the patriarch, and we will not put this knowledge into the classics, but it is passed on in the minds of the patriarchs, and it is impossible for foreigners to know."
"So, didn't the Yue's people come to Huaxia to exchange these technologies for a new living space?"
Hana looked a little excited, "That's right, but those people in Xingyue Hall don't plan to give us freedom at all, although we can be fed and clothed, we have to be imprisoned like animals, I don't want that kind of life!" ”
"Miss Hana is really temperamental, I admire it, I respect Miss Hanna."
Ji Zheng raised the wine glass, and Hana also raised the wine glass to drink with Ji Zheng.
After drinking a glass of wine, Ji Zheng asked again: "I don't know what Miss Hana plans to do in the future, whether she will settle in Gusu or not?" ”
Hana thought for a moment and said, "Hmm...... I don't have any plans, I like Huaxia very much, and I like Gusu very much, and I don't plan to leave if I can. It's just that I always feel that Gusu City is a little noisy, and I still want to find a beautiful place, build a house, plant some flowers, spend every day leisurely, and then wait there to die slowly. ”
"Waiting for death......" Ji Zheng was originally fascinated by it, but when he heard this word, he immediately laughed, looking at Hana's serious appearance, he felt that Hana was extremely cute and liked it very much.
"Yes, everyone has to die, wouldn't it be nice to find a favorite place to wait for death?"
"Okay, very good, Miss Hana might as well tell me what kind of place you like, and I can help Miss Hana find it."
"Hmm...... There should be a forest, a mountain behind the woods, and a lake in front of the trees. There are fish in the lake, so it's easy to build a thatched house next to the lake. The most important thing is to plant a lot of flowers next to the house. Daisies, must be daisies. I've loved daisies since I was a child, and although they are plain, they are beautiful. ”
"Miss Hana, I will definitely help you find such a place in the future!"
"Hee-hee, this is where I imagined it, and there may not be anything in the world."
"Miss Hana, rest assured, since this is the wish of the young lady, that is, the wish of the next, even if she travels all over the world in the future, she will help the young lady find there!"
"Hmm." Hana nodded, leaned close to Ji Zheng's shoulder, and leaned lightly on it.
