Chapter 120: Mustard and White Radish
The three of them were talking and laughing, and Xiao Ling hurriedly walked over, and said eagerly; "Let's take a look, something strange has appeared here, and the little eunuchs don't know whether to move or not."
Lu Qingjin hurriedly walked over, only to see that there were a few things the size of a human head on the open space that had been cleared, and there were mud on them and she couldn't tell the appearance, and she was about to step forward when she was stopped by Concubine Li; "Be careful, no one knows if it's something left by some madman from the previous dynasty."
The more Lu Qingjin looked at the outline of this thing, the more familiar it became, and he nodded when he heard the words; "I know, but this thing looks familiar and I don't want to be dangerous."
Concubine Yun's curiosity was even greater, and when she heard this, she quietly walked behind Lu Qingjin and sniffed it before saying, "This thing seems to be edible, I feel that the taste is similar to that of a carrot." ”
Lu Qingjin stretched out his hand to peel off the soil outside, only to see that the blue-white skin was smooth and soft and exuded a fragrance, Lu Qingjin smiled with satisfaction: "This is indeed edible, this is a white radish, similar to a carrot but the taste is not the same, so it seems that this piece does not need to be cleaned up, just correct it." ”
When the little eunuch heard this, he hurriedly said; "The minions have already seen it carefully, this thing really doesn't look like weeds, and it's planted very neatly, in the corners of this side and in the corners of the other."
Lu Qingjin nodded thoughtfully, and Concubine Li said: "It's not surprising, I heard that the crown princess lived in this place for a long time, and I think she left it." ”
Lu Qingjin didn't know much about this history, and said with some doubts; "You mean the crown princess has been sent to the cold palace?"
After all, Concubine Yun is known as a talented woman, and she is still much stronger than Lu Qingjin, who doesn't know anything about Concubine Li and Lu Qingjin, who doesn't know anything, and immediately explained; "It's not that I've been sent to the cold palace. But at the end of the previous dynasty, when the war broke out, the princess lived in this place for a period of time in order to keep herself and her children. ”
Lu Qingjin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and he also sighed; "It's a pity that good people ended up so miserable."
Concubine Li said curtly: "If it weren't for the current emperor Shengming, I think you would only be more miserable, it's better to feel sorry for yourself first, this situation is still unclear, our ending may not be as good as the crown princess." ”
Lu Qingjin then had a deep understanding, it turned out that if she failed, she would be doomed, thinking of this, she was more motivated to farm, and hurriedly got up to see the white radish.
Xiao Ling said with some confusion; "Niangniang, you see, the radishes in these two fields seem to be different, but they are almost the same, are they two varieties?"
Lu Qingjin looked at the irregular radish in Xiao Ling's hand and said helplessly: "What you have in your hand is not a white radish, it looks like a mustard green, these are two completely different things." ”
Lu Qingjin walked over and looked at the neatly grown mustard greens and exclaimed; "He is worthy of being an expert in farming, and he still grows so well after so long."
Concubine Li behind her had already washed a radish and walked over slowly; "I saw that carrots can be eaten raw, can this also be eaten raw?"
Lu Qingjin handed the mustard greens to Xiao Ling, took the radish and cut off a piece with a knife and tasted it, only to feel that the taste was sweet and spicy, she nodded and said; "I think it's because the low-lying water in the cold palace is relatively sufficient, and this radish is quite delicious."
The two of them took it and tasted it, and they were quite satisfied, and when they saw that Lu Qingjin was still studying the mustard greens, Concubine Li said, "Since this can be eaten raw, is it also possible, I see that they look similar." ”
Lu Qingjin shook his head and smiled; "It's different, mustard greens aren't actually delicious, but fortunately, they can be drowned into pickles, and I'm not afraid of running out of vegetables in winter."
The three of them were already very tired, and after eating the radishes here, they went back to the palace separately, Xiao Ling helped Lu Qingjin and said while walking; "Niangniang hasn't spoken since just now, is she coming up with any new ideas?"
Lu Qingjin turned his head and patted her before saying: "You are clever, I just remembered when I saw mustard greens, although we have harvested a lot of wheat and potatoes, but there are not many greens, and it is difficult to preserve them in winter, I wonder if I can salt a little more greens, and it will be better in winter."
Xiao Ling nodded approvingly; "In previous years, the winter was not too long, but in the past two years, I don't know why, the winter is cold and long, not to mention the city last year, even in the palace, there are many people who froze to death and starved to death."
Although Lu Qingjin accepted the memory of the original owner, she was a concubine after all, and she didn't know much about these things, so she heard the words for a while before saying; "It's so serious, it's good to know it a long time ago, otherwise it wouldn't have been caught off guard."
Xiao Ling sighed and persuaded; "You still don't want to get involved, you're good at eating, but most of the heating things are arranged by the Internal Affairs Bureau, because the head of the Internal Affairs Office has changed several batches because of the freezing of people, and there is still no way to do it in the end."
Lu Qingjin knew in her heart that in this era, heating mainly depends on wood, coal or something, just picking up some surface and not digging yet, so she cherishes it very much, she secretly remembers this matter, but on the surface she didn't say much.
After a while, the two of them arrived at the gate of the palace, a little eunuch stood at the gate of the palace with a blank face, saw the two people coming, stuffed a letter to Xiao Ling, looked at Lu Qingjin and left.
Xiao Ling opened the envelope with some doubts, and after a glance, her face turned pale, Lu Qingjin was naturally next to her, and she sneered; "This Zhang Dequan is really not dead, and I don't know how the emperor arranged it, and he can still send a letter."
Xiao Ling's voice trembled a little; "Niangniang, you don't know about charity mages, their power is far greater than you think, otherwise the emperor wouldn't have thrown a mouse bogey a few times, it seems that I can't live."
Lu Qingjin couldn't believe that Zhang Dequan sent a letter to tell Xiao Ling that he was going to kill her, and it would be forgivable to say that he wanted to kill him, but Xiao Ling really didn't have this value.
Lu Qingjin came back to his senses and saw that Xiao Ling was still cowering, and let out a long sigh; "Don't worry, I think this letter means something, I don't really want to kill you, not to mention that this is the palace, Concubine Li has been rectified some time ago, even if they are powerful, it will be difficult to kill people in the palace."
