Chapter 164, Eggplant

"Allure, I think it's really heaven destined for the two of us to meet, you see, you like to study food, and I like to study supplies. Isn't it a good match? Yu Niang said happily.

"Makes sense." Gu Tingcheng took a bite of ice and agreed.

"By the way, Allure, where did you get this ice? How can there be ice here now? Yu Niang suddenly thought of this question. You must know that on this day, ice cubes are very precious.

There are almost only those ladies in the palace, who can be used extravagantly.

Ordinary people like them usually don't see each other at all, and if they have to use ice, they have to go to the palace for approval.

"Made your own." Gu Qingcheng didn't hide it.

"How? Can you teach me? Yu Niang stared at Gu Qingcheng with hopeful eyes.

"Absolutely."

"Allure, you're so nice."

"Eat it quickly, it won't taste good when it melts later."

"Hmm."

"Do you want to go see the champion's house?" Gu Tingcheng remembered that Yu Niang seemed to have said before that she wanted to go and see it.

"Now?" The day outside Yuniang is okay, it's not the hottest time.

"That's right, by the way, I'll pick some vegetables and come back, our village has a lot of greenhouses and rich dishes." Gu Tingcheng introduced.

"Is it the kind of greenhouse cultivation I talked about earlier? I've heard about it for a long time, but I haven't seen it all the time, and today I just happened to see it. "Yu Niang is also interested in this.

"Then let's go now, Honghua, you carry the basket on your back, and we'll pick the vegetables." Gu Tingcheng called a few of them.

"Yes, girl."

Yu Niang's people stayed in the yard, after all, she had a lot of people, and if she took them all out, it would be a bit eye-catching.

Of course, this is not the key, the point is, there are too many people, taking up space!

"You guys have such a nice scenery here, surrounded by mountains. And these good fields, it should be very rich. ”

"It's not as good as you think, if you just rely on farming and going up to the mountains to beg for food, you can only live a good life."

"Why?" She had never understood any of this before, so she didn't know much about it either.

"Because there are taxes every year, I look at so many lands, but the harvest is not very good, and after the taxes, there is not much. If the harvest is good, life will be better, in short, it is to watch the heavens eat. What Gu Tingcheng said was also summarized here.

She used to be a rich girl, and she didn't know the suffering of the people.

"Are those greenhouses?" Yu Niang looked at the earthen shed and asked.

"That's right, that one over there is the champion Lang's house, see? It's just that the door is closed, and it should be no longer in the village. We're going to go down the trail to the fields now. Gu Qingcheng explained.

"See." Yu Niang looked at the house that Gu Tingcheng pointed to, from the outside, it was a little old, but it was okay.

……

"Miss Gu, are you here to pick vegetables?" A young man asked, looking at the rain lady next to Gu Qingcheng, his eyes were a little unable to take his eyes off.

"Well, how's the food growing lately? What are the dishes? Gu Qingcheng also asked with a smile.

"The dishes are still those dishes, and they haven't changed much, but not long ago, the village chief bought several new dishes from other places, not from our night country, and we don't know how to eat them. I took it home and made it a few times, but it wasn't very tasty, so it just so happened that you came to take a look. The young man enthusiastically took Gu Qingcheng and them into the vegetable shed.

"It's so cool in here." Yu Niang said with some surprise.

"This is the method of warming the greenhouse in winter and cooling in summer, because it is hot outside, so it feels cooler inside, and if it is cold outside, there will be a fire inside, and it will be warm."

"That way, you can eat them all year round." Yu Niang looked at the vegetables in the vegetable field and nodded.

"Hmm."

This shed is not big, and it is almost to the rear.

The young man pointed to a pile of vegetables on the edge

"It's this thing, whether it's fried or boiled, it's very bitter, but each leaf still grows quite a lot." The young man said.

Gu Qingcheng squatted down and looked at it, this leaf seems to be a little familiar, but he has never eaten this kind of dish in modern times, is this a unique variety here?

But this vegetable leaf is really familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere. It's not going to be a carrot, is it?

"Have you seen it? It's like sweet potatoes. ”

"Not really! We didn't even think about it! It's so stupid. The young man was a little annoyed, and immediately went to pluck one and take a look.

He had a lot of strength, and he pulled it up.

Sure enough, it was a radish, but it was a little small.

Now this season is not the time to eat turnips, autumn is, so it is normal that this is still a little small now.

"This thing, it shouldn't be ripe yet, wait for it to be ripe, and if nothing else, eat the following one." Gu Tingcheng said that in order not to arouse suspicion, she didn't say much other knowledge.

After all, no one else knows, but she is the only one who knows, isn't it suspicious?

"Okay, I got it." The man nodded.

"What else are you talking about?"

"I'll take you to another greenhouse."

"Okay, safflower, you pick some peppers here, and this cabbage, and cut some more leeks. Then go to the other sheds to pick some tomatoes. ”

"Got it, girl."

They also stayed here to pick vegetables, and Gu Tingcheng, Yu Niang and Xiaoliu went to another shed.

As soon as he entered, Gu Tingcheng saw the new dishes.

It's an eggplant, and it's growing pretty well.

"Girl, it's this, this thing, we have also taken it back and eaten, this soup is not tasteful, or tomatoes are more delicious. This thing is also a little hard to eat, and it feels weird. The young man looked at the eggplant with some disgust.

"I've eaten this thing elsewhere, it's called eggplant, it tastes okay, maybe you're not doing it right."

"Allure, where have you eaten?" Yu Niang asked curiously.

"I have a friend who is from Chenguo, and she ate there, and that was a long time ago, so I won't mention it." Gu Qingcheng was talking nonsense seriously.

"Then Miss Gu, how did you eat this thing?" The young man asked curiously.

"It's fried to eat, you can't fry too much, you can't fry too short, put more oil, this eggplant is very oil-absorbing, you can't add water when you fry it, because it's not delicious to add water, and then put other spices and spices to taste the best." You can also add minced meat for a better taste. Gu Tingcheng thought of minced meat and eggplant.

"Does it cost meat to stir-fry? We, ordinary people, who can afford it, can't afford to put more oil. The young man said with a big grin.

"Are there any other new varieties?" Gu Tingcheng asked again.
