The acre of land next to the mulberry field is planted with melons, fruits and vegetables, with a variety of varieties and colorful colors.

There are those that Uncle Wang knows, and there are those he has not seen. Squeezed next to each other, the growth is excellent. Some weren't even grown this season.

Uncle Wang has been planting the land for decades, but it is the first time he has seen such a scene, and he is deeply shocked.

He couldn't help but wonder if he had been white in the past few decades, what kind of old style, and there was no noble girl who couldn't lift his hands and shoulders to plant well.

If Xu Yin heard Uncle Wang's heart, she would probably burst out laughing.

This is the charm of scientific farming!

"Uncle Wang, many of these dishes are cooked, I will let people tie the red cotton rope to keep the seeds, and find someone to pick the rest in the near future." Send some to the palace every day, and you will divide the rest. The melons have to wait for a while, and after they are ripe, pick some of the seeds and keep them, and the rest are the same as vegetables, send batches of stubble melons to the palace, and you can share the rest to eat. ”

Uncle Wang expressed his gratitude to the tenant farmers in Zhuangzi.

After Xu Yin finished shopping in the vegetable field, she went next door to look at the rice field.

It will take another month for the rice to mature, just in time to harvest before the trip, and when the time comes, you can go out to play with the joy of the harvest, and you can fly in a good mood.

"Princess, there are still three points of straw beans, what are you going to do with it?"

Uncle Wang saw that in the melon, fruit and vegetable field, there were a few ridges of straw beans, which were still green at this time.

This bean is generally used to feed livestock, people are not unable to eat, but eat too much to distend, only in the New Year's festival to fry a little for the children at home as a snack, so there are very few planted, who is willing to use the fertile land to grow livestock feed.

But the princess asked him to send some of each vegetable to the palace, so she was not sure that the package did not include this bean.

Xu Yin thought of this and patted her forehead: "I almost forgot!" Don't pick too many green pods, send one or two to taste fresh, and wait for the rest to grow until they are ripe and golden before harvesting, and I will be of great use when I look back. ”

Soybeans are almost ripe, and tofu and soy sauce can be considered.

She took the moment to glance at the energy point balance, but luckily! During this time, except for spending some on solar panels, the rest were saved, and the 3000 energy points exchanged for the soy sauce recipe could be arranged.

After arranging the farming of the experimental field, Xu Yin returned to the palace with a cart of vegetables grown by herself and a few relatively ripe watermelons and melons.

Yan Kejin has not returned from the mine yet.

Xu Yin took a bath, changed into a light leno skirt, and let Qiushuang open a watermelon.

There are one or two cents, but it can be eaten, a bowl of melon flesh is cut, and the fruit is eaten with a fork.

There is a lot of water, and the sweetness is slightly lacking, but Xu Yin is very satisfied, after all, it is not fully ripe, and if it is raised for another ten days and half a month, the taste will be improved.

But no matter how delicious it is, one person can't eat the whole melon, and most of it is for Mama to take it and share it with the maids.

"The melon can't be left for a long time after cutting, otherwise it is easy to breed bacteria."

Mama didn't understand what bacteria were, but she knew that melons and fruits were easy to get sick after eating them for a long time, so she took them and divided them according to her words.

When Yan Kejin came back, it was already night.

The watermelon was too big to eat, so Xu Yin asked someone to cut a melon.

"Can you eat it?"

Yan Kejin knew that she had planted a lot of fruits and vegetables on the Zhuangzi as soon as she came, but she didn't expect that it was already the harvest season.

"The melon is almost hot, so let's pick a few and try it first."

The melon was first brought into the Central Plains by Hu Shang, and the nobles in Beijing would plant some on the hot spring village, whether it was eaten at home or given away, it was an excellent seasonal fruit. It's rare to see it on the Nanban side.

I think it's still a problem of inconvenient transportation.

Of course, the main reason is that even eating with an open stomach is still a luxury, and the fields are limited, who would think of planting melons? If you plant a melon, you will lose a penny of food, and it hurts to think about it.

Xu Yin planted some melons and fruits to change the taste because she held high-yield rice seeds in her hands. What's more, vitamins are also necessary for the human body.

"I read a travelogue that said that the small island country on the other side of the South China Sea is rich in tropical fruits, and I must bring some back when I have the opportunity to go. The climate here is actually quite suitable for growing fruits. ”

"From the miscellaneous books again?" Yan Kejin stared at her with a smile.

Xu Yin didn't say anything with a smile, anyway, everything was pushed to "the book said"!

……

The next day, she used the fresh vegetables delivered from the Zhuangzi to cook a table of home-cooked dishes.

After wearing it, this is the first time I have touched pots and pans, and I feel a little hands.

It can be seen that it is easy to move from thrift to luxury, but it will not be suitable for thrift.

Inevitably, next time she will dress as a peasant girl who has escaped from the wilderness and rely on herself for everything, Xu Yin decided to cook more in the future.

"Taste it, I made it!"

She raised her chin at Yan Kejin who entered the door.

King Jinnan, who heard that the princess was busy in the small kitchen early in the morning, deliberately did not leave the house today, and came to the main courtyard on time for dinner, glanced at her with a smile, and sat down.

"The princess personally planted, harvested, and cooked the dishes herself, and this king must taste them well."

On the table, only the sour soup fish and eight-treasure duck were the ones he had eaten.

Others like garlic cucumber, winter melon with shrimp skin, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried kale, spinach with pine nuts, and shredded carrots with minced meat are all made from never-before-seen ingredients.

"This is all cultivated by the seeds you asked Hu Shang to buy?"

Xu Yin knew that he would ask that.

In fact, the seeds bought from Hu Shang, only pumpkins and carrots have not been planted in Yanhua, and the rest are transferred from the system warehouse by her under the pretext of "Hu Shang".

Some should have been introduced to China around the Ming and Qing dynasties, but the horizontal and vertical are all imported products, and it is not good to take them out in advance to enrich the dining table of the common people.

Yes, Xu Yin nodded without any indifference:

"Well, I'm still worried that the seeds in the north will not be planted here, but I didn't expect them to grow very well, it seems that the water and soil in the south are very suitable for planting. I asked Uncle Wang to keep the seeds, and when the output is large in the future, it can be supplied to the restaurants under the palace, or you can open a shop to sell the seeds of these vegetables, and the price is set lower, and the people buy and plant them in front of the house and behind the house, add a few dishes to the table, and if you have more, you can also sell them on the street to supplement the family. ”

Yan Kejin glanced at her deeply, and then smiled: "It's a pity that the princess is not a man with such a mind." ”

Xu Yin: "......"

If I am a man, you and I are still destined?

……

It will be the Dragon Boat Festival in two days.

Xu Yin made a lot of zongzi in the kitchen in advance, and the taste is very rich, including eight-treasure zongzi, osmanthus nectar bean paste and red date zongzi, salted egg yolk fresh meat zongzi, chestnut meat zongzi...... There are several types of sweet and salty.

One of the benefits of the Dragon Boat Festival in the house is a string of assorted zongzi.

At first, the imperial chef heard Xu Yin say that he wanted to make a batch of salted egg yolk meat dumplings and chestnut meat dumplings, but he was dumbfounded.

He has been a royal chef in the palace for so many years, and he personally adjusted the stuffing of zongzi, not tens of thousands, but thousands, how could he have made salty zongzi.

Aren't all zongzi sweet? Can you eat salty?
