Chapter 151: The Cultivation of Pumpkins
Lu Qingjin drank the porridge in the bowl and asked helplessly: "Why did you come here again early in the morning, is it that the problem of raccoons has not been solved!" ”
The guard glanced at the little eunuch next to him and shook his head: "No, Your Majesty has already sent someone to strangle the raccoon, and now that the capital is a lot more stable, we are here to ask for guilt." ”
Lu Qingjin saw the two of them and asked impatiently: "What is the reason, hurry up and say it, I will go to see Concubine Yun in a while!" Don't waste time. ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard Concubine Yun's voice ringing out from outside the door: "They didn't stop me from going out to ask for guilt, and they hope that Niangniang won't punish them." ”
Lu Qingjin was stunned for a moment, and smiled a little reluctantly: "It's good if you don't blame me, I'm not worried that you are not in good health and it is dangerous to go out!" ”
Concubine Yun held the box and sighed beside her: "I know everything, I didn't rush to the morning market to find something good for you, do you want to open it and take a look?" ”
Lu Qingjin took it quite curiously, the box was very heavy, but it was difficult for Concubine Yun to hold it all the way, she opened it gently, and saw a round pumpkin lying quietly in the box, there were still a lot of potholes on the surface, and it was a good thing at first sight.
Lu Qingjin happily took out the pumpkin, took out the knife he carried with him and cut it gently, the pumpkin opened in response, and the fragrance on his face made both of them stunned for a moment.
Concubine Yun looked at the white seeds inside curiously and sighed: "Sure enough, it's a good thing, Jinping really didn't lie to me." ”
This Jin Ping is the merchant of the Western Regions who buys things from them on weekdays, and Lu Qingjin has naturally heard of it, she was a little surprised and said, "You actually bought this thing from Jin Ping?" Isn't it the Hu people? ”
Concubine Yun covered her mouth and smiled: "You know very well that this thing was originally bought by Jinping from Hu Ren, but he didn't know how to eat it, and when he turned his head, he met me and said that you must know, so he sold it to me cheaply." ”
Lu Qingjin smiled while lightly taking out the seeds: "He is smart, but this can be regarded as adding something to the cooperation between the two of us." ”
Concubine Yun hesitated for a moment before saying, "Although the Hu people who sell things say that this thing can be eaten, it seems that it tastes bad, and they use it more to make spices." ”
Lu Qingjin looked at the pumpkin in his hand for a while, he really didn't know how this thing could be used as a spice, and said helplessly: "Don't listen to their nonsense, this thing is delicious, but if it's weird." ”
Concubine Yun nodded and understood, the two of them came all the way to the vegetable garden, Concubine Yun looked at the hay all over the ground in surprise, Lu Qingjin touched her nose and explained helplessly: "This is no way, now it's autumn, there are no good things to keep warm here, if it weren't for some hay, I'm afraid these seedlings won't survive." ”
Concubine Yun looked at the sky with some sorrow when she heard this: "This year somehow seems to be exceptionally cold, but the mountains are not dry at all, and many people say that there is not enough firewood for fear that they will freeze to death." ”
Lu Qingjin peeled off a piece of hay, revealing the land below, the black and oily land was no longer as soft as before, she worked hard to dig a pit with the shovel in her hand, and said while planting the seeds in her hand: "You don't have to worry, I'll take some people to take a look in a few days, I heard that there is a lot of coal in the mountains not far away, if you find the heating in the capital, it will not be a problem." ”
Concubine Yun looked at her with a complicated expression and didn't speak, the cold and hard soil was too difficult to grow things, Lu Qingjin concentrated on injecting all the spiritual energy in her hands into the soil, and by the time the pumpkin was planted, she was almost exhausted.
Concubine Yun helped her and looked at the hay all over the ground and asked helplessly: "Should this thing be put back, after all, this pumpkin hasn't even come out of the seedlings!" ”
Lu Qingjin looked at the not very good weather with some distress: "This kind of temperature is really not good, not to mention this pumpkin, even the rest can't survive, let's let the little eunuch who waits for the garden in the palace come over tomorrow!" ”
Concubine Yun didn't know what was different about the little eunuch, so she didn't think much about it, and after agreeing, she squatted down to look at the little seedlings on the ground, and saw that the green seedlings were full of vitality, and she couldn't see at all that Lu Qingjin couldn't live.
Concubine Yun smiled a little relieved and said, "This is this year's hope!" I'm waiting in the restaurant! ”
Lu Qingjin rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully: "I can find a way to continue growing some vegetables in winter, but there are still not only these vegetables in the restaurant!" The jajangmyeon I made the other day was very good, why don't you send the recipe over tomorrow? ”
Concubine Yun glanced at her with some confusion: "What's wrong?" Isn't everything in the restaurant profitable? Why are you so reluctant today, you won't think about opening another restaurant with someone else, right? ”
Lu Qingjin smiled helplessly: "What is this!" I'm just a little worried that the fried noodles will not react well, after all, the ingredients are very simple, maybe many people will feel that they have spent money to eat this loss, and now that we are an important period, the slightest gossip is not good. ”
Concubine Yun thought for a moment and said uncertainly: "I think that the people don't account for so much, it's a big deal that our pricing is lower, and when I say this, I think that Concubine Shu's family is a businessman, and she should know more about this doorway, so you don't have to worry about it, just leave it to him." ”
Lu Qingjin felt that it made sense and nodded and left, Concubine Yun looked at the somewhat desolate garden and sighed and walked towards her yard, an old lady walked behind her and said softly: "Xiaoyun has left today, the family said that there is an urgent matter and left, I may not be able to come back."
Concubine Yun nodded and said coldly: "It's a good thing if she doesn't come back, I really didn't expect that something would happen to Si Min'an's people, I thought she was a fairy!" ”
The old lady asked suspiciously: "Miss, is this planning to come to Si Min'an?" So where is the queen mother? ”
Concubine Yun frowned and said helplessly: "I'm just saying that I'm addicted to it, what kind of character is Simin'an, I'm crazy to fight against her, if it wasn't for the queen last time, my life would have been sent inside." ”
The old lady breathed a sigh of relief and said earnestly: "In the past few days, although your current life has been a little harder, it is still stable, and I have no other thoughts when I look at the queen, so you can live a good life!" ”
