Chapter 578: Waiting
When Bai Shao and Yinzhu were at home before, they helped Wangchun and Mao's sister-in-law.
I also learned a little bit of medical skills, but I can only use simple first aid and medicine.
It can be said that the subordinates of Su Jin and Qin Lang's families will have a few simple first aid and medicines.
When everyone returned home after dinner, the afterglow at the end of the western sky completely dissipated, and darkness shrouded it.
Su Jin didn't like this kind of pitch black with his fingers out of his hand, so he ordered Wangchun to buy some lanterns tomorrow and hang them under the porch.
The time of darkness in Wushui City was more than an hour later than that of the Central Plains, and it was just dark at this time, but it was also more than eight o'clock.
Everyone was tired of the day, so they quickly washed up and went back to the house to sleep.
Early the next morning, Wangchun, Bai Shao, Yinzhu, and Butterbur and Banxia all got up.
When they opened their eyes and saw the dawn, they couldn't sleep anymore, so they simply got up to make breakfast.
I have been hungry for rice for a long time, but now that I have rice and a kitchen, I can just quench my cravings.
A large pot of fragrant white porridge was boiled with snow-white rice, boiled eggs, and a little pickles.
It's just such a simple breakfast, but everyone is hungry.
When everyone gets up, whoever smells this fragrance must suck hard and praise it from the bottom of their hearts: "It's so fragrant!" It smells so good! ”
Think about how many days you haven't eaten fragrant white rice? I almost want to cry.
If there is any one that is the biggest displeasure of going all the way north, this is it.
For those who are accustomed to eating rice, the noodles and cakes for three meals a day are torment. It's not that I can't eat enough, but I always feel that something is missing, which makes my whole body uncomfortable.
I wonder if people from the north will feel the same way when they go to the south, probably about the same?
When eating breakfast, everyone was stunned by the simple white porridge, as if they were not eating white porridge but the delicacies of the mountains and seas in the imperial dining room.
After eating, a look of satisfaction.
It was as if the whole person had become refreshed and reborn.
After breakfast, Gu Yunzheng, Wangchun, Bai Shao and others went to the market to go around, buy some vegetables and come back, there is a carriage, but there is no need for the dart master to follow.
Su Jin instructed Lu Dart to lead people to pick up the hoe and dig up the garden ground one by one, and turn it over carefully.
"If you want to eat vegetables in this place, you can only rely on self-sufficiency, and even if you want to buy them in the market, there are few varieties, let alone no fresh ones at all!"
"So, I have to work hard for you!"
"By the way, we don't have a lot of vegetables here, didn't we buy a lot of tea yesterday and came back? Everyone must make tea every day, drink more tea, so it is good for the body! ”
Lu Dart and the others all agreed.
Start digging the ground.
Su Jin spotted another place, right next to the main house, and asked Lu Dart to take three people to dig a cellar.
Lu Dart's eyes flashed: "Is Mrs. Qin planning to dig a place where you can hide and hide?" ”
Su Jin was stunned for a moment, and suddenly couldn't cry or laugh: "Where did you think of it!" I'm planning to use the cellar for storing vegetables in the winter. ”
I don't know if you can buy a cart of Chinese cabbage here in winter.
If she can't, she has to plant it herself, and she can reap as much as she can.
Chinese cabbage, white radish, green onions, and then cut more wild leeks to make leek sauce, as well as pickle some sauerkraut, plant some pumpkins, winter melons, and then buy some dried vegetables from other places such as dried beans, dried eggplant, dried plum vegetables, dried radish, etc., and you can barely live in winter, right?
You can't eat meat all winter.
Lu Dart was stunned, and then he understood.
couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for Su Jin.
Although they didn't spend the winter in the Northland, they had heard some rumors, and when they arrived here, they asked the locals a word or two out of curiosity. It is said that it is already very cold in September, and it snows in October.
In the real winter, it is common to go out with snow not exceeding the knees, and when it snows heavily, it seems that the sky is full of sand and stones, swept by the whining north wind, and you can't even open your eyes when you go out, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is difficult to move an inch.
The rivers were all frozen, and the ice was so thick that there was nothing to do with running horses on them......
How cold it was, Lu Darttou felt that he couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle just thinking about it.
Lu Daotou couldn't help but say, "Does Mrs. Qin plan to spend the winter here?" Isn't this place going to be too cold? I think it's better for Mrs. Qin to find a better city in winter. It's not far from the capital, so it's better to go to the capital. ”
At least it's not that cold, and it's not as hard as you want to eat a bite of vegetables.
Su Jin smiled and thanked him for his kindness, "I'm not here for a vacation, so I won't leave so soon when I come." So now you need to be prepared. ”
Seeing that her attitude was very resolute, Lu Darttou did not persuade her.
Three days later, not only did there be ten vegetable patches in the back garden, but also four in the front yard, two in the east and west courtyards, and four in the backyard.
In the corner next to the yard, there is no waste either. Su Jin sprinkled mint, wormwood and other seeds, and also planted leeks, green onions, garlic, ginger and so on.
There is a shed for each of the two vegetable patches in the innermost part of the garden, one for pumpkins and the other for winter melons.
These two fruits can be stored in the cellar for a long time when they are ripe, and this is what you need in winter.
In addition, the pumpkin vine can be picked and eaten with the skin removed, and it can also be made into soup, and the taste is very delicious.
There is no vacancy under the melon shed, you can plant some peanuts, soybeans, sweet potatoes, and some harvest in autumn.
The ground was all turned up, and those who should have been planted were planted, and those who did not arrive waited first.
The rough envoy bought six, two women and four men.
There was no one who could cook, so I had to ask the two women to help with it.
The four men were in charge of chores such as cleaning, watering the garden, and feeding the horses.
Nowadays, it is almost impossible to buy fresh vegetables here, at most a little onion and garlic, and the locals say that it is only starting to warm up on this day, and if you really want to have fresh vegetables, it will take at least a month and a half, and there will be more in two months.
White peony and silver zhu use soybeans and mung bean sprouts, so you can see a little green.
After settling down, Su Jin had to go to the tea stall outside the North City Gate almost every day, looking forward to meeting Qin Lang.
Earlier, Qin Lang agreed with Gu Yunzheng and contacted the old man Yu's tea stall outside the North City Gate.
On the day Gu Yunzheng came, he pasted a piece of paper the size of a copper coin on the second pillar of Old Man Yu's tea stall, the piece of paper was not conspicuous, but Qin Lang would know that they were coming as long as he saw it.
Gu Yunzheng gave Old Man Yu two taels of silver, and asked him to help take care of the piece of paper, don't let people tear it, if it is torn, he will paste another one. The same piece of paper for spare, Gu Yunzheng gave him seven or eight sheets.
