Thinking that the prince didn't seem to do anything wrong before he was provoked to kill his father, Zhao Ruxi still felt a little unhappy in his heart.

Now, the little sympathy she had left in her heart had vanished in the disgusting behavior of the prince calculating her.

If Xiao Lingyan knew about this, he would definitely not let go of the prince, right? Anyway, they are fellow countrymen, they have the same friendship, and now they are in the same trench. He's got to protect her.

Although he knew that the Zhu family was an understanding person, and the old lady was not confused in major matters, Zhao Ruxi still told him uneasily: "Grandmother, mother, you can reject all these family affairs, and then write down their names." These people can be singled out and sent to us, and they must be very unbearable inside. Pay more attention. ”

Both the old lady and the Zhu family nodded: "Don't worry, we know." We won't assert your family affairs, don't worry. ”

Zhao Ruxi saw the resentment on the faces of the two, but because it involved the prince, the emperor, and the concubine, she didn't dare to complain at will for fear that people would hear it, and she was worried that they would hold back, so she changed the topic and told the story of Bailuzhuang.

"Grandmother, mother, you see, how can I arrange these opportunities? How do chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep be sent back to the house? ”

"If you want to sell your grain, you can put it in your family's shop and sell it, or you can buy two more shops and open a grain and rice shop. There are a lot of chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep on Bofu Grange, and there are so many people in the house in previous years, and it can be supplied. Now that the family is separated, I can't eat all of this, and I have to sell it. Dispose of the livestock and poultry on your grange yourself, and you don't need to take them home. Zhu said.

The old lady also nodded: "You usually spend a lot of money to buy jewelry for me and your mother, we know that you are filial, you can do these things if you have a heart, you don't have to send them to the house." ”

Zhao Ruxi smiled: "Thank you grandmother, thank you mother, then I will deal with it myself." ”

Chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep are not worth much. She should have the heart to respect the elders in the family, and it would be good to buy a few more pieces of jewelry for the old lady and the Zhu family, but she didn't have to care about this.

"Okay, let's pass the meal, Sister Xi must be hungry." The old lady heard the voices of Zhao Yuanxun and Zhao Jingtai in the courtyard and commanded.

Zhu still had something to say to Zhao Ruxi, and when she returned to the main courtyard with Zhao Ruxi after eating, she asked, "You are busy every day these days, and you hardly go to the academy, haven't you seen Xiaoxue for a long time?" ”

Zhao Ruxi nodded: "Not really." I'm so busy hitting the back of my head with my foreheel that I haven't seen a little snow in a while. ”

She raised her eyes and looked at the Zhu family: "Is there something wrong with the Xu family?" Otherwise, the Zhu family would not have mentioned Xiaoxue for no reason.

The Zhu family was grateful for the Xu family's kindness to Zhao Ruxi, and after the Xu family moved here, they took care of them a lot, and would send some snacks from time to time, so that the Zhao family would know that the Xu family was taken care of by the Suiping Bofu and did not dare to bully them.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Ruxi was very relieved about the affairs of the Xu family and did not send anyone to inquire about their recent situation. If the Xu family has something, the Zhu family will naturally say it to her.

Zhu said: "It's not a big deal. Even recently, many people on the street have learned from the Xu family to sell cold vegetables. Although the taste is not so good, it is cheaper for a penny or two, and many people still buy it. Some large restaurants have also started to make their own cold dishes, and no longer buy from the Xu family. Mrs. Zhao Shi said that your uncle has repeatedly adjusted the amount of cold vegetables in the past few days, but there are still some leftovers that cannot be sold. ”

Zhao Ruxi patted his head: "I've been too busy this time and forgot about it." ”

The cold vegetable business has been in business for a long time, and many people learn to grab the business, and the Xu family's business will be poor. Coupled with the fact that the weather is slowly getting cooler, the business of cold vegetables will naturally not be good. This thing sells the first opportunity and the season.

So at the beginning, Xu Yongyi hesitated and didn't dare to do business in the capital, and Zhao Ruxi felt a pity in his heart.

The Xu family was fine. But now that he has rented a house in the capital, Xu Chongwen is also more expensive to study in the school than before. This business is poor, and Xie Shi may not know how to be anxious.

"I came up with a way to fry chestnuts for my uncle and aunt. It's just that the chestnuts were not ripe, so I didn't tell them. You send someone to talk to them and tell them not to worry. When I find the most important thing in fried chestnuts, I will teach them. ”

Hearing Zhao Ruxi say this, Zhu was a little curious.

She has been in charge of the middle feed in the house for so many years, even if she doesn't cook by herself, she has no shortage of theoretical experience.

She knew that chestnuts were too big and the shells were hard, and it was hard to fry them. Everybody steamed it.

Although she was curious, she also knew that this was a secret recipe, and it was not easy to ask.

"How did you know these methods?" Zhu is more curious about this.

She felt that her daughter would inevitably have too many things.

"When I was a child, there was a grandmother living next door to my adoptive parents' house, she was half-blind, and she usually groped for housework. Once she accidentally put a small stone mixed with chestnuts and fried it in a pot, I ate it and thought it was more fragrant than steamed. Zhao Ruxi talked nonsense.

In a hurry, she hasn't made up the lie yet, and there are logical loopholes.

But fortunately, Zhu was busy with the hardships that his daughter had endured before, and he was pleased that she was smart, and felt that others didn't care about ordinary things, but her daughter saw it in her eyes, remembered it in her heart, and pondered to use it.

She was immersed in the pride of "sure enough, my cub is smart", and she didn't ask about these details.

……

After having a capable subordinate, it is easy for Zhao Ruxi to do whatever he wants.

Quartz sand is needed to fry chestnuts, and Zhao Ruxi only needs to tell Zhou Chun to do so, so he doesn't need to care. Two days later, Zhou Chun delivered what she wanted.

The quartz sand was selected according to her instructions, and it was the same size, and it was all without edges and corners.

"Girl, is this it?" Zhou Chun asked.

Zhao Ruxi nodded when he saw it: "That's it." ”

She instructed: "You ask Zhaoming to send it to the kitchen of the Green Banana Courtyard, let Sister-in-law Li wash it, fry it twice with oil, and then put the chestnuts that have been washed and dried in and fry them." As for how to make it more delicious, let her think about it. ”

Zhou Chun went.

When Zhao Ruxi came back from the training class, Zhaoming sent a plate of fried chestnuts.

Zhao Ruxi peeled it open and ate one, and patted his head: "Let Sister-in-law Li put sugar to fry." ”

In modern times, she once heard someone casually say that sugar-fried chestnuts are made of quartz sand, and she has seen and eaten sugar-fried chestnuts sold on the street. As for how to fry chestnuts with quartz sand and how to add sugar so that they don't stick to the pan, it depends on professionals like Sister-in-law Li to figure it out.

Zhaoming didn't question it, he didn't ask and ran directly to the kitchen. After half an hour, another plate of fried chestnuts with sugar was served.

Zhao Ruxi tasted it, and then nodded: "It's done, that's the taste." Go and call Sister-in-law Li. ”
