The two children were peeking at people, but they might as well be looked at by others, and they smiled at them generously, and the two couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

Two red clouds flew up the little boy's jade-like face, but the little girl walked over, sat on the circle chair next to Xie Xuan, and asked in a low voice, "My name is Liu Siyun, and Dr. Liu is my grandfather." Your name is Xie Xuan? ”

"Yes, my name is Xie Xuan. It turns out that you are the granddaughter of Dr. Liu, how old are you? Why haven't I seen you before? Xie Xuan looked at this little girl, with a white and pure lotus petal face, thin curved willow eyebrows, clear Ling Ling almond eyes, straight and straight nose, she was a little beauty embryo.

"I'm eight years old! A few days ago, I came back from Kyoto with my father to visit my grandfather, and it was my second brother Liu Sinian! She pointed to the little boy standing opposite, Xie Xuan looked over, and saw that the little boy with sword eyebrows and starry eyes had recovered his integrity, seeing Xie Xuan looking over, and nodding slightly to make a salute, Xie Xuan couldn't help but smile.

"I heard my grandfather praise you for being kind and sensible, and said that you knew righteousness at a young age, and asked me and my brother to ......learn more," she said, and there was a little unconvincing in her tone.

No wonder these two children keep peeking at her, and dare to be unconvinced by her!

So Xie Xuan followed her tone and said, "Where am I so good?" When Dr. Liu said that, he deliberately said it to you to encourage you to make progress! ”

"Is that so?" Liu Siyun asked thoughtfully.

"Of course! Do the adults in your family often talk in front of you about how good their children are, and then say how bad you are? Xie Xuan asked with a smile.

"Yes, that's what we often say!" Liu Siyun snorted angrily.

"Isn't that it?" Xie Xuan couldn't help but smile and said seriously, "Adults are all the same, they always say how good other people's children are and how bad we are." In fact, do they really think that other people's children are better than their own? It's just to motivate your children to be motivated! All parents use this set, and everything will not deviate from their roots, and you will know their intentions, and you will no longer be angry about it! ”

"Eh, that's what you say!" Liu Siyun suddenly realized, "Hmph, if they say this in the future, I will ignore them, if there is anything that can't be said clearly, I have to make such a big turn!" ”

The little boy Liu Sinian saw that what they said was so hot, and when his father Liu Zhengshou didn't pay attention to them, he secretly moved over, and when he heard Xie Xuan's remarks, he stared at her strangely.

As he was talking, he saw Xie Ping'an and his partner Liu Sheng coming in with a basket of vegetables, and the hay on it had been cleaned outside, revealing tender yellow and crisp leeks and garlic.

"There are not many leeks and garlic in this basket, give Dr. Liu a fresh taste, and it is also a piece of our heart!" Xie Qingshan couldn't help but scratch his ears and cheeks when asked by Liu Zhengshou, how did he know why the concocted Shouwu had to be steamed for sixteen hours? Seeing that the dishes were brought in, he hurriedly changed the topic.

"Oh? Leeks and garlic? Mr. Xie's family can also grow this leek and garlic in winter? Liu Zhengshou looked at the basket of vegetables and couldn't help but admire: "It's better than Kyoto's!" ”

When Xie Qingshan heard this, he hurriedly asked, "There are also people in Kyoto who sell this?" ”

"Yes, every year in the cold winter wax moon, the shed vegetables will be on the market, because it is not easy to grow vegetables in winter, and the price is quite high, a pound also costs thirty or forty yuan, which is about the same as the price of pork......

"Ah, can you really buy thirty or forty wen?" Xie Qingshan was overjoyed and immediately stood up.

"What's the matter, Uncle Xie hasn't sold it in previous years?" Liu Zhengshou asked.

"I only started planting ...... this year," Xie Qingshan glanced at Xie Xuan and said in an ominous voice.

Xie Xuan immediately continued: "Second Uncle Liu, the cost of planting this is quite high!" My family also dug up the hundred-year-old Shouwu and sold it to the Baicaotang family, so I had the money to plant this! ”

Liu Zhengshou nodded and said: "Also, planting vegetables in winter not only needs to build a vegetable shed, but also needs to be constantly charcoal fire every day, manure is generated, if the weather changes, more than half of the vegetables are lost, and the gains outweigh the losses......."

Xie Qingshan nodded again and again: "That's right!" ”

"Second Uncle Liu, do you still have research on growing vegetables?" Xie Xuan asked with a smile.

"It's not easy to live in Kyoto, and it's ...... to smile," Liu Zhengshou said with a smile.

In fact, as early as the Song Dynasty, there have been yellowed vegetables, the Song Dynasty Meng Yuanlao "Tokyo Menghualu" recorded that the Song Dynasty Kyoto Tokyo Month Layue: "The market sells Buddha flowers, leeks, lettuce, orchid buds, Bohe, walnuts, Zezhou dumplings." ”

Wang Zhen of the Yuan Dynasty also has a record of people planting leeks in the "Book of Agriculture, Hundred Grains Spectrum Collection No. 5, Vegetable Genus": "In winter, move the roots and hide in the shade of the house, cultivate horse manure, warm and long, high can be feet, do not see the wind day, its leaves are yellow and tender, called leeks." Leeks are more expensive, "several times easier than leeks", and northerners regard leeks as a rare vegetable in winter.

Ming Xie Zhaoqian's "Five Miscellaneous Tales and Objects III" recorded: "There are yellow sprouts and leeks in the middle of winter in Beijing, which are made in the fire kang in the cellar of the rich room."

At that time, the wealthy families in Beijing would build a cellar fire kang, and in the middle of winter, they could also eat yellow sprouts and leeks. Because of the cost and technical thresholds and other reasons, these vegetables can only be eaten by wealthy families and official eunuchs and nobles.

"Second Uncle Liu, did you sell this in Kyoto when you came?" Xie Xuan asked with great interest.

"Generally, it sells more when it comes to the wax moon, because in recent years, fresh vegetables and vegetables are also bought at a higher price. At this time, it has just entered winter, and if it is sold, it will not be as profitable as Layue! Liu Zhengshou said.

Xie Xuan's eyes lit up: "Can their leeks and garlic only be cut with one stubble?" ”

"What, you still want to cut a few stubble?" Liu Zhengshou asked her with a smile, "After the wax moon is cut, the kung fu that grows again will be in the spring, everything will germinate, and other vegetables will also be on the market, so it won't be sold at such a high price......

Xie Xuan nodded again and again, happy in her heart, but her face was not revealing anything.

After talking for a while, when he didn't see Liu Yiti come back, Xie Qingshan was about to leave, Liu Zhengshou hurriedly asked the guy to come over with two pieces of silver, but Xie Qingshan was a little angry and resigned.

"Mr. Liu, you look down on me! You want to be polite to me with a basket of dishes? Xie Qingshan called out to the man, and said to Liu Zhengshou with a stiff face.

"Don't be angry, it's not." Liu Zhengshou explained with a smile: "Not to mention that this basket of vegetables will cost at least one or two silver, and in the future, I will go to your house to buy vegetables and vegetables in Baicaotang, so don't you give money every time?" You can't do that! ”

"This is the time, and we will talk about the future later! This time, I said that it was my old man who gave it to Dr. Liu to try it, how could I not believe it! After that, greet Xie Xuan and leave.

Xie Xuan smiled and beckoned to Liu Siyun and Liu Sinian, and followed her grandfather.
