Chapter 665: The Pond
"Ah, such a large grape is a little sour. ”
After Xin'er took the grape, she also quickly picked a grape and ate it in her mouth, and suddenly her eyes were sour by the grapes and couldn't help but narrow.
Even so, she didn't like to eat this kind of sour grapes in the palace, so she threw them aside and didn't care about them anymore.
But because she picked it herself, she had a lot more patience, and I saw Xin'er stretch out her hand to the bunch of grapes again, as if she was ready to eat a few more grapes.
Zhang Xiaoxue accompanied Xin'er in the fruit forest, happily picked enough fruits, washed grapes and peaches by the stream, and tasted basically all the fruits picked.
Xin'er then remembered that she wanted to go to the pond to see Yu Wenze and their fishing, and I don't know if they have any catches.
Just when I went over there to let His Highness Ze taste the fruits she picked with her own hands, she smiled happily when she thought of these sweets.
"Sister Xiaoxue, we've been in the orchard long enough, I want to go to the pond to see if His Highness Ze has caught any fish.
Just take the fruit we picked just now over there, and let His Highness Ze taste the fruit we picked too, okay?"
"Okay. ”
After Zhang Xiaoxue agreed, she said to Liang Bingkuan's sister beside her: "Xin'er and I are both coming to the farm for the first time, and we don't know where the pond is. ”
Hearing Zhang Xiaoxue's polite words, Liang Bingkuan's sister was very nervous and hurriedly replied: "No, it's not troublesome, the pond is not far behind the kitchen, I'll take you here." ”
The two slightly larger bamboo baskets that Liang Bingkuan's sister held just now were also full of fruits.
After picking so many fruits, naturally I can't leave them here, so on the way back, I am not as brisk as when I came.
When he went out of the orchard, Liang Bingkuan's sister was carrying a basket full of fruits, and Liang Bingkuan's daughter-in-law was also holding a basket of fruits in her hand.
Originally, the high stool they brought to step on the fruit picking could not be taken easily, after all, if the two blue fruits were to be taken by one person, they might be able to carry them with a flat shoulder, and it would be too tiring for one person to take them.
The small bamboo basket contained the washed fruits, because there were a lot of fruits added, and there was a little weight, Zhang Xiaoxue didn't let Xin'er carry it anymore, so she took it herself.
Zhang Xiaoxue was holding a small bamboo basket with washed fruit in one hand, and with the other hand empty, she planned to help bring back the high stool they brought.
"I'll take this stool for you, the fruit in your hands is too heavy to hold with one hand. ”
As she spoke, Zhang Xiaoxue was about to reach out and pick up the high stool.
"Oh, Lord Xueshan doesn't need to trouble you, it's just such a wooden stool, it's not a valuable thing, just throw it in the fruit forest, just take the time to let someone take it.
The wooden stool is very rough, the surface is not polished, and there are many small burrs on it, so don't accidentally prick your hand. ”
Seeing this, Liang Bingkuan's daughter-in-law quickly smiled and rejected Zhang Xiaoxue's kindness to help them hold the stool.
How could the nobles be allowed to do such rough work, those little hands with fine skin and tender flesh, in case they were pierced by the burrs on the wooden stool, but it was their sin.
You must know that the high stool that I brought over is specially made for increasing the height and stepping on the work, so it is very rough, unlike the stool that I usually sit on, for fear of scratching the clothes, and I have to polish it smooth.
In the orchard just now, Liang Bingkuan's daughter-in-law had already noticed Zhang Xiaoxue's complexion and the white and delicate skin on her hands.
That really made her extremely envious, no woman in the farm had such good skin, and she thought that only a noble person who could be served all day long could be so well maintained.
After Zhang Xiaoxue heard what the daughter-in-law of the Liang family said, she also took back the outstretched hand, and she didn't have to help people anymore.
The four of them came to the kitchen, except for the small basket of washed fruits that Zhang Xiaoxue was carrying, the two bamboo baskets had more fruits, which were naturally placed on the kitchen side.
The kitchen is really lively enough, killing chickens and ducks has long been busy, there are two women who are feathering chickens and ducks outside the yard, seeing Zhang Xiaoxue and Xin'er They came over, as soon as they saw their dress, they knew that the two were nobles who came to the farm, stopped the work in hand, and quickly said hello.
Zhang Xiaoxue smiled politely and responded to them with a few words, and let them busy with the work in their hands.
Because of Zhang Xiaoxue's delay in speaking, the big wooden basin in the yard was soaked with dehaired chickens and ducks, because Xin'er saw it for the first time, she was a little curious, and took two steps forward to see the things in the pot.
The chickens and ducks, who had lost most of their hair, had no better natural image, so when they saw that Xin'er didn't look at it twice, her little brows furrowed, and she only looked at her disgust, and hurriedly turned her eyes away from the basin.
Zhang Xiaoxue, who saw this scene, laughed unkindly on the side.
The chickens and ducks soaked in hot water to remove their feathers, after the chicken feathers and duck feathers were scalded by the hot water, there was an unpleasant smell, Zhang Xiaoxue was not willing to stay in this environment for longer, so she greeted Xin'er and asked Miss Liang to take them to the back of the kitchen.
As soon as I came to the back of the kitchen, I saw a large pond not far ahead, and there were lotus flowers planted in the pond.
As soon as they got closer, the fishing rod in Yu Wenze's hand was bitten by the fish, and I saw Yu Wenze unhurriedly lift the fishing rod up, and a huge fish was pulled out of the water.
Yu Wenze didn't wait for the fish to react, and threw the fish to the grass on the shore, and the fish fluttered on the grass.
There was a little boy with a tiger head next to Liang Bingkuan, and after a few quick steps, he caught the fish that was fluttering on the grass, took off the hook, and put the fish in the fish basket on the shore.
I saw that this little boy was very skillful in putting the chopped earthworm bait placed on the side, and quickly put it on the hook, and Yu Wenze threw the fishing line into the pond again.
Xin'er looked at the sidelines, her eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but say to Yu Wenze: "Your Highness Ze, you are so powerful! As soon as we came, we saw that you caught a big fish, and I really want to learn to fish, Your Highness Ze, can you teach me?"
"Xin'er wants to learn to fish, no problem, but I don't need to teach, do you see the little brother next to you?
His name is Tieshi, don't look at his age is no more than two years older than you, but his fishing skills are better than mine, and he caught more fish than I caught just now, I asked your brother Tieshi to teach you to fish. ”
