Chapter 279: Are You Fascinated by Your Sister?
"A million catties is just a drop in the bucket for the Zheng family."
"The owner is too modest."
After approaching, Zheng Yuxin raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation to the woman, "The owner of the village, please sit." ”
Returning the salute, "Please." ”
With some politeness, the two sat down one after another.
The two sat closer, and the woman looked at Zheng Yuxin, and couldn't help but sigh, "It is said that the Zheng family is so beautiful, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation." ”
Hearing this, Zheng Yuxin smiled, "I'm afraid that the owner of the village has forgotten that he is a great beauty." ”
"Alas, I'm old," the woman raised her hand and touched her cheek.
"Sister, don't laugh with me, how old are you older than me, if you say that you are old, then wouldn't I be soon? My sister is now in her prime, and she is the most charming age. As long as my sister smiles, I don't know how many sons I will charm. ”
The woman covered her mouth and smiled, "My sister's mouth is so sweet, I'm embarrassed to say it." ”
"Where, my sister is just telling the truth."
Zheng Yuxin finished speaking very sincerely, but saw the woman looking at her lazily, with a smile in her eyebrows, and asked her with her hands on her cheeks, "Is that sister fascinated by her sister?" ”
"Cough", Zheng Yuxin coughed lightly, and turned his head to look at the cloth bags and jars and other things that the two entourages brought in, "Can my sister take a look at the food that my sister brought today?" ”
"Nature."
Yuan Jiarong stopped teasing her and glanced up at her entourage.
The entourage understood and opened one of the cloth bags for Zheng Yuxin to watch.
I saw that the cloth bag was full of white powder, and if you looked closely, the color was similar to the fine white noodles, but it was slightly yellowish and white, and it looked much more delicate than the fine white noodles.
She reached out and twisted some and put it on her fingertips to touch it carefully, the delicate touch...
Seeing Zheng Yuxin frowning imperceptibly, he then relaxed his expression and looked at the other bulging cloth bag, and said to the entourage, "Can you open this bag and show me?" ”
The attendant nodded, put down the cloth bag in his hand, lifted the bag designated by the other party, and opened it to show her.
Looking at the noodles in the bag, Zheng Yuxin was convinced in his heart.
This is a powder washed out of some kind of food crop.
However, what kind of crop is it?
She dared to say that as long as it was all the crops that could be eaten and washed out of powder in the Chu State, she knew everything, but none of them matched, unless...
Looking at the third bag, it is all coarser lumps than the roughest grains, needless to say, this must be the residue left over after washing the powder.
Zheng Yuxin suppressed his emotions and looked up at the woman, "Sister, what is this made of?" ”
saw the woman looking at her with a smile, "Didn't my sister already guess it?" ”
"Cough", Zheng Yuxin coughed lightly again, "Why don't you go to the study with your sister to talk to each other?" ”
Yuan Jiarong waved her hand, "Don't worry, don't worry, how about we go to the kitchen to try it together?" After tasting the taste, my sister is sure of the value of this thing. ”
"Nature."
Afterwards, a group of people took the dismantled bags to the kitchen.
When he came to the kitchen, Zheng Yuxin asked everyone else to go out, leaving only a fire girl.
It turned out that this retinue was not an ordinary retinue, but a cook.
I saw that the cook asked the fire girl to burn the firewood, and picked a few random ingredients in the kitchen, cut them into dices or crushed foam, and then put them in a pot and fried them for a while, then put in the seasonings, and added a small half pot of water.
Take another bowl, fill half a bowl with water, scoop a few tablespoons of fine powder into it, and stir it well.
When the sound of boiling water is heard, the cook lifts the lid and pours the liquid from the bowl into the pot evenly, stirring with chopsticks.
After a while, sprinkle some spices, and a pot of crystal clear food called mountain flour paste by Yuan Jiarong is ready.
Zheng Yuxin and the housekeeper each took out a small half bowl of mountain flour paste and ate it.
When the three of them were satisfied with the mountain noodles in the bowl, they could look at the fired noodles.
The three of them ate from the bowl again and looked at the pot.
As for the third kind of lumpy lumps, the man did not burn them delicately, but directly let the boiling water boil, pour it finely, then sprinkle a little salt, boil for a while, and then start the pot.
What does this third bowl taste like?
The butler only found it difficult to swallow.
But seeing that the young patriarch of her family and the noble woman were chewing and swallowing one bite at a time, she could only swallow it with difficulty.
After tasting the taste, Zheng Yuxin personally weighed them carefully, and then beckoned everyone back to the main hall, and took the remaining entourage and the wooden boxes and jars he had taken care of, and went to his study.
When there were only two people in the room, Zheng Yuxin no longer played dumb riddles with her, "Forgive my sister for being clumsy, I can't see that my sister is not from Chu, I don't know where my sister is from?" ”
"Da Wei", Yuan Jiarong also does not go around in circles.
"A million catties, or even more, will definitely not be able to be transported from the Wei Kingdom, it must have been planted in my Great Chu, right?"
The woman smiled coquettishly, "My sister is smart. ”
"For the sake of this thing, your country has been strictly guarding for so many years, and I don't have the slightest opportunity to take advantage of it, but my sister took the initiative to bring her seeds to be planted here, aren't you afraid that one day it will leak out and make my sister a sinner in the Wei State? After all, if you want to produce so much food, I'm afraid you have to plant at least a few thousand acres, can my sister prevent it? ”
In this regard, Zheng Yuxin was really curious.
But seeing that Yuan Jiarong became rare and serious, "Naturally, it is to raise silver taels for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of my family to expel the rebellious ministers and thieves, and now that they are occupied by thieves, the people of Wei are in danger of losing the country at any time."
In order to save the people from danger, it is our duty to wait for our subjects, and the loss of the country or the possibility of leaking food, which sister thinks we choose is more worthy of the people of Limin? ”
Zheng Yuxin asked again, "Sister is really atmospheric, so monstrous and secretive can say it to me, are you really afraid that I will leak it out?" ”
Unexpectedly, the female prince of Wei was still alive and hiding in the territory of their Chu State, and even planned to make a comeback.
It seems that the former prince's power in the Chu State is unfathomable!
After being lifted off so many moves, he can still have such courage.
At this moment, should she be glad about the civil strife in Wei?
"Hehe, where is my sister willing to help herself", Yuan Jiarong raised her eyebrows and smiled.
But Zheng Yuxin disagreed, "As my sister said before, millions of catties, or millions of catties, have no effect on me, and they can't even cure the symptoms, but if you can find the seeds, you can cure the root cause." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Yuan Jiarong laugh and said, "My sister is so cute, don't you think that my sister doesn't understand your Chu State and frames me?" When my sister cures the roots, your Zheng family will be useless to the royal family of Chu State, and when the birds are all hidden, rabbits and dead dogs are cooked, and the wealth of the Zheng family, which is rich and rivals, is in the pocket of the Chu Emperor. ”
