326 Boil corn

Qing Song saw that Han Ai's expression was wrong, as if he was scared of his soul, the whole person stood there trembling slightly, and hurriedly walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"

Han Ai raised his hand and pointed to the root of a corn plant, and said in a trembling voice: "Worm, worm!"

Qing Song looked in the direction of her finger, and saw some aerial roots growing near the ground at the roots of the corn, which looked like insects at first glance, so he said to Han Ai: "It's not insects, it's corn roots." ”

Han Ai shook his head: "What a bug!"

Qing Song said in his heart that this child is really timid, and suddenly he saw something in the corner of his eye, and when he looked at it, there were a few old leaves growing above the air root, and a gray-white soft insect poked out of the middle of the leaf, probed it, and retracted it.

Han Ai begged Qingsong with a crying voice: "Uncle Li, I want to go back ......"

The green pine was still hesitating, and Han Ai had already found in horror that there were one or two gray and white insects growing on the roots of almost every corn tree, which was very scary.

She trembled like chaff, took a few steps back, and almost ran away immediately, but fortunately remembered that her brothers and sisters were all in the cornfield, so she endured her fear and whispered to Yi'an: "Cousin!"

Yi'an was fighting with Yining for a big corn, and she didn't hear Han Ai whispering to her. Han Ai was so anxious that he saw sweat on his forehead, also called Han Fang and Han Zhi.

The two little ones heard it, and they ran over and pulled Han Ai to play together in the cornfield, but Han Ai shook his head desperately and refused to go in.

Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, Han Zhi also saw those insects, she ran over very curiously, grabbed an insect through her gloves and put it on her hand, staring at it with wide eyes.

Qingsong knows that this kind of insect only eats young leaves and does not bite, and it doesn't care what Angelica does.

Han Zhi had insects in the palm of her hand, and she stretched out her finger to poke it from time to time, and played with relish. Poor Han Ai almost fainted, looked at her little sister in despair, and whispered: "Sister Zhi, let it go!"

Han Zhi was having fun, thinking that Han Ai was going to play too, so as soon as she stretched out her hand at her cousin from afar, she directly scared Han Ai into sitting on the ground with weak legs.

On the ground, the black ants ran back and forth, one of them crawled onto Han Ai's legs, Han Ai couldn't help screaming, Qing Song hurriedly picked her up, reached out to dust off the ants, and said continuously: "Sister Ai is not afraid, there are no insects on her body." ”

Han Ai was lying on Qingsong's body, her small eyes were also bright, and there were crawling insects, ants, and grasshoppers everywhere at a glance...... I only felt that this place was the safest on Uncle Li's shoulders, and he hugged it tightly.

Qingsong couldn't let go of her, there was no way, so he had to put her on his back and carry her, seeing that this cornfield was almost harmed by them, he hurriedly called someone out.

A group of more than a dozen children lined up according to the height of their heads, Qingsong carried a Hanai on his back, and looked at the results in their baskets one by one: Yining, Hezhen, and Hetang naturally had the most, and Yi'an was not bad, leaving Hejun, Hemo, Hechang, Hanzhi, and Hanfang, and one person pretended to be one or two.

Qing Song was stunned for a moment: "I just saw you pick so much, corn?"

Yi'an said: "Uncle Li, you don't know, they are throwing it while breaking it, and they are willing to keep the biggest and most beautiful one." ”

The small and unsightly ones were naturally thrown into the ground, but fortunately, a few children from the farmer's family refused to waste them and picked them up in their own baskets.

Qing Song shook his head and taught these little ones: "Don't throw it away in the future!"

He said, "Uncle Li, my hand is broken." ”

Qingsong hurriedly went over to look, it turned out that he was suspicious of the glove restraint, took off the gloves to break the corn, and after a while, the palm of his hand was cut by the sharp leaves, but he still couldn't help but smile and grin, as if those shallow mouths were his meritorious service.

Qingsong didn't speak at the time, and asked them to look at the back baskets of the children of the villagers, Yining and Zhen were triolated, and when they looked back, the youngest children of the farmers had picked more than them combined, and the baskets were full.

The basket was not the same as the beautiful basket on their backs, it was about as tall as the rest of them, and the children of the farmer were carrying a basket of this size, and they stood there unsteadily, but they could not see that they were pantingβ€”there were several of their brothers and sisters, but they could not breathe.

He Zhen pursed his lips: "Uncle Li, we are not as good as them." ”

Qing Song saw that they were all depressed, and remembered that the eldest sister said that she couldn't make them too sad, so she smiled and said: "They do this every day, but they are better than you, and you can't compare with them." ”

Qingsong told the children to put on their baskets and plan to go back, and said to the children: "The corn you picked will belong to you, and you will go back and rest." ”

Hezhen didn't leave immediately, he stepped forward and asked them their names and surnames, and said: "My name is Zhu Hezhen, and I live in the house in Zhuangshang, so you have to come and play with us." ”

The children of the small family are shy, and the children of the Zhuang family did not dare to approach these little nobles, and they were far away when they worked.

He Zhen said: "I can remember." ”

The children of the farmer were immediately in awe and said, "You are amazing!"

They only know that these are little nobles, they are still young, they don't understand what kind of nobles they are, and they didn't react when they heard Zhu Hezhen's name, this is the grandson of the dynasty.

Qingsong walked back with the children, they carried the baskets on their backs, and walked very hard, but they didn't want the help of the guards, and they gritted their teeth one by one.

Han Ai saw that everyone had corn, and even Han Zhi happily held a corn nest in her nurse's arms, but she was empty-handed, and her flat mouth wanted to cry.

Suddenly, one hand pulled her trouser legs, and Han Ai lowered her head, only to see Hechang holding a piece of corn in his hand and handing it to her.

"I'm afraid of bugs...... "Han Ai wanted to take it again, but he was afraid.

He Chang took a closer look at the corn in his hand: "No bugs!" tiptoe into Han Ai's arms, and ran to Hemo by himself, and the two little brothers walked forward hand in hand.

Han Ai lowered her head and hugged the corn cob, she is the eldest daughter of the concubine, and she has always been close to Hechang in the house, but she didn't expect this younger brother to take care of herself like this.

He Chang didn't think about it so much, Han Ai was his own sister, he just gave her a corn, it was nothing.

Lord Zhaoren hadn't played with the children in the past few days, and she didn't know what to do in her house, and even Princess Zhou could only see her in the morning and dusk.

On this day, it was easy to come out to breathe, and I saw a group of small radish heads coming over there from a distance, and walked forward with their heads bowed.

Zhaoren looked funny, walked over to take a look, and exclaimed, "Hey, so much corn!"

He Zhen got up again: "Little aunt, the corn we picked ourselves will be cooked for you to eat!"

"Cheng," Zhaoren laughed, and was about to pick up Hezhen's back basket, "This tender corn can not only be boiled, but also roasted and eaten." ”

I don't want to hide with Zhen: "I want to carry it myself!"

Zhaoren looked at Han Ai again: "What's wrong with Sister Ai?"

Han Ai blushed and bowed her head and didn't speak, Qingsong was afraid of hurting her face, and said: "It's nothing, I think Sister Ai is thinner, I'm just afraid that I'm very tired in the past two days, so I'll carry her for a while." ”

Han Ai lay on the back of the green pine and breathed a sigh of relief.

How smart the county lord of Zhaoren is, looking at the only corn in Han Ai's hand, he can guess the general situation, so he laughed it off.

Qingsong took the children back to the princess's house, and was busy unloading their back baskets, removing hats, changing clothes, and washing and bandaging the hands of Hechang who had broken hands.

The princess was distressed and asked them, "Are you having fun today?"

A group of children from the oldest to the youngest nodded hurriedly, and even Han Ai nodded: although she was afraid of insects, she didn't want to be left behind by everyone.

The princess ordered the corn to be boiled with the corn they had brought back, and when she saw that they were all tired, she told the nurse to take them back and rest their lives.

By the time the children had recovered their breath, the corn had already been cooked.

At this time, the corn is tender, and it is delicious to cook, and it is sweet when boiled in water, and the raw corn is ground and then baked with some flour to make a soft cake, which has a different fragrance than the cake made with corn flour.

Qingsong remembered to roast corn, and really set up a stove to roast a few, not daring to give it to the little doll with tender teeth, and it was not good to feed it to the princess, so he only chewed it with Mu San and Zhaoren.

Mu San ate with a fragrant mouth: "I, Mu Sansan, am fortunate to be able to eat the food prepared by the emperors and grandchildren." ”

Zhaoren said: "You can shut up!"

Mu San is the brother-in-law of Princess Changping, as long as he is a child of Changping, who dares not to be filial to him?

Mu San smiled: "When I go back, I have to find an opportunity to beat the grandson, and in the future, when the grandson ascends the throne, I can boast to my son: Your father and I can beat the emperor back then!"

Zhaoren was so angry that he was about to go up and give Mu San a few blows, but fortunately, Qingsong still remembered that Mu San was injured, so he could persuade Zhaoren to go down.

However, Zhaoren went back to look at Hezhen for a long time, and suddenly called his nephew over and reached out to pinch his face.

He Zhen didn't know why: "What's the matter with my aunt?"

Akihito: "Nothing. "When you ascend the throne, my aunt can say that I have pinched the emperor's face - after all, the emperor's uncle and brother dare not pinch it.

Everyone's corn has been cooked, but Han Ai is still holding her corn and refuses to let go, telling the nurse to put it away.

The nurse was very embarrassed: "This thing can't be put away, it wants to give birth to insects." ”

Han Ai was startled: "How can there be worms!"

The nurse is still embarrassed: "Otherwise, I will dry my sister and make people paint a layer of varnish, and it will not be bad for a few years." ”

Han Ai nodded, thought about it, and wrote a few words on the corn leaves: "Brother Chang gave the surplus." ”

Not to mention how Han Ai put this in the house like a baby like dried corn in the future, here the lily was held and put on the princess's couch, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

She looked left and right, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded: "How many of you, why are they all black like this?"

The royal children were born handsome and fair-skinned, and there was no one who was not good-looking, everyone went in and out these days, and they all looked about the same complexion, and Lily had never theorized.

Who knew that this time he put Ruzhen into them, it was like putting a glutinous rice ball into a pile of black essence rice balls, the whiter the whiter, the blacker the blacker, Lily was surprised, and couldn't help but cry out. When the princess turned around, she couldn't help but be startled when she saw that her grandchildren had such a big color difference.
