The Xue family's hot spring Zhuangzi was given to the old lady by the emperor, and the area is not large, but the advantage is that the spring is bubbling with hot springs all year round and never drying up.

The ladies in the house, at the beginning, they also liked to come to Zhuangzi to live in a small place, especially when they entered the wax moon, the charcoal burning in the house was too cold, the hot spring Zhuangzi was hot, and each room was repaired with a hot spring pool, and it was cold to sit in the pool and soak for a while, and the whole body was warm.

But that's all there is to it.

If you want to say that the scenery is beautiful, the scenery in the house is no worse than that of Zhuangzi.

And because it is too far away from the city, there is something in the house that is out of reach, and the information is blocked when living here, lest something good be left behind, and something bad will become the top pot because people are not there, and over time, everyone will not come to the village to live.

After Xu Yin settled down, he went around Zhuangzi, where the fog is thick, quiet and quiet, thanks to the blessing of the hot springs, most of the vegetation on the Zhuangzi is green and upright, and there are few withered yellow falls, which is really in line with the artistic conception of "a warm well is still warm and warm, and 100,000 green mountains are not yellow".

It's a pity that the area is a little smaller, and the fixed buildings such as guest houses and gardens are removed, leaving little room for her to play.

But it's not entirely inadequate.

She slipped to the northernmost grassy slope of Zhuangzi, and listened to Zhuangtou's introduction, this slope was not there before, isn't there a koi pond in the garden? The mud dug out at the beginning was piled up here, and it was going to be transported away after the pond was dug, but the uncle was still there at that time, saying that the lake was very good against the mountain, so keep it. As a result, some dwarf flowers and plants were transplanted, and gradually developed into today's small grass slope.

"There is also an octagonal stone pavilion built on the top of the slope." The head of the village who led Xu Yin pointed to the northeast corner, "But because it is a little far away from the guest house, the masters come to the village to stay, basically in winter, after soaking in the hot springs, they generally go back to the room to rest, even if they go outdoors, they are mostly walking in the garden, and there is a water pavilion by the koi pond, which can be used by the masters to rest, so they rarely come to the stone pavilion on the slope." ”

After Xu Yin heard what he said, she rubbed her chin and looked at the grassy slope and made up her mind.

However, I have to discuss this matter with my mother-in-law and husband first.

So, after she finished a circle, she went back to the guest house where she was staying.

Xue Zhaojin was pacing back and forth in the yard, doing rehabilitation training, and when she saw her coming back, she raised her eyebrows: "Didn't you say to go around?" Coming back so soon? ”

"It's done." Xu Yin poured herself a cup of tea, and was just about to drink it, after thinking about it, she poured him a cup too, brought it over and handed it to him, "I see that the slope in the north is empty, how about opening it out to grow vegetables?" ”

“……”

He said that she was suddenly attentive, and he was afraid that he would have something to ask him for, and he wanted to break ground as soon as he came.

glanced at her helplessly: "Madame is so idle?" ”

"It's not that I'm idle."

Xu Yin sat down and grabbed a handful of melon seeds.

This is the maids who saw that she liked to eat melon seeds, so they specially let the small kitchen fry them before leaving.

Xu Yin glanced at the bucket containing melon seeds...... Is this for her to eat?

Worried about dampness, I had to let the maid put on the melon seeds if I had something to do, and I poured honeysuckle tea while snorting the melon seeds, but don't get angry.

Sipping melon seeds and drinking tea, by the way, he drew a cake for Comrade Xiao Jin:

"Don't you want to eat fresh melons and fruits around a warm stove while watching the snow? The glazed greenhouse in the house is a little smaller, and there are too many things you want to plant, isn't it right to come here? Idle is also idle, plant some fresh melons and fruits that we all love to eat, and in the middle of winter, you can still eat fresh fruits to moisten your throat and appetize, isn't it good? ”

Xue Zhaojin didn't know how to farm, so he called the head of the village and asked: "Madame wants to plant some melons and fruits to eat in winter, is it too late to plant them for the New Year?" ”

"Just in time." Without waiting for Zhuang Tou to speak, Xu Yin gave him a direct answer, "I have a bag of thorny seeds that I bought when I went to the street before, and I will plant them all while the weather is good, and they will mature just in time for the Chinese New Year." ”

The wild strawberry is called a thorn mound here, but the strawberry seeds that Xu Yin took out are wild strawberries that have cultivated the N generation of large-fruited pineapple strawberries, both in size and taste, they are the best in the strawberry world.

In addition, she also took out a few cold-resistant watermelon seeds.

I plan to plant a batch of out-of-season watermelons along the hot spring pool.

In the cold winter, Layue eats watermelon around the stove, which is refreshing to think about.

If the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is a whole table of hot pot, it will be even more delicious.

Thinking that the masters here are just them, you can really try it.

So, the people in the village were busy.

The little guys around Xue Zhaojin were more reliable, and asked him to borrow two people, one went into the city to order charcoal hot pot, and the other was responsible for purchasing according to the purchase list she listed.

Others grow strawberries, watermelons, and relatively hardy seasonal vegetables such as celery, radish, cabbage, wuta-tsai and red cabbage.

Purple cabbage is the seed that mixes in.

The maid who accompanied her to the street before setting off was a child of the house, who did not know about farming, and only knew that the young grandmother bought some seeds, but she didn't know which ones she bought, and she didn't know the seeds in front of her.

Why grow purple cabbage? How can you eat hot pot without refreshing, appetizing and greasy cold dishes? Cucumbers are too hardy and have to be put on a shelf. Or red cabbage is convenient.

The good grass slope was turned into a vegetable field, a grass curtain greenhouse was built, and the thorny mounds that can be seen everywhere after the beginning of spring were planted, Zhong Minhua was very puzzled.

Thanks to the distance from the gate, visitors can't see that the good flower and grass slopes have been turned into vegetable fields, and a warm shed similar to a thatched house has been erected, otherwise, seeing such a scene that does not match the surrounding scenery, it will probably be a joke for Xue's house.

However, seeing that her daughter-in-law was so interested, and her son walked around often with her, and her complexion was getting better and better day by day, Zhong Minhua closed her mouth with interest and didn't say anything to discourage her.

Just rely on her daughter-in-law to massage her son on time every day, and also cook and wash her hands to make soup for her son to nourish and condition, not to mention just playing with mud on a piece of the ground, even if you want to tear down the heavy cover.

The hot spring village is no better than the farm, as long as the masters don't come, there is not much work all year round.

When the masters come, they just need to serve well. Running errands, passing a word, and occasionally getting a small reward, so when I saw the eldest prince coming to the village to recuperate, the people below were all happy in their hearts, and they rushed to serve the master.

However, the masters have subordinates who are used to it, and it is not their turn to serve them closely. At this moment, the young grandmother sent them to work, and they were very happy at first, thinking that they had entered the blue eyes of the young grandmother, and when they started to do it, they were dumbfounded!

Is this for them to work in the fields?

This is a hot spring village, not a farm, and the young grandmother's interest is really ...... Chic!

Someone recognized the seeds that the grandmother had asked them to plant, and whispered, "This looks like a thorn mound...... It's spring, and the mountains are full of this thing, is it necessary to plant this? ”

"There's still a melon! Aren't watermelons grown in the summer? Can you survive in winter? ”

Zhong Minhua was also asking Xu Yin: "Isn't the water melon summer?" ”

Xu Yin explained with a smile: "Mother, the reason why the melon is planted in summer is because the winter here is too cold, and the reason why I planted it around the warm soup pond is because the soil around it is warm and suitable for the growth of the melon." Speaking of which, the winter in the south is much warmer than in our capital, and many vegetables and fruits can be grown all year round! Unfortunately, storage and transportation are extremely inconvenient, otherwise, where would we lack fresh vegetables and fruits to eat in winter? ”

"I see!"

Zhong Minhua listened suddenly.

Xue Zhaojin gave Xu Yin a look of "you can make it up".

When he didn't know, the small mountain town she fostered was as cold as it was in winter, where could she have fresh fruits and vegetables to eat all year round like she said?
